Another constructor in our long line of PhD's, Dr. Neville Fogarty, gives us a taxing Saturday exercise today. Here is more info on Dr. Fogarty who is a math professor at Christopher Newport University in Newport News, VA.Neville was kind enough to write to me about this puzzle:
It has been so long since I wrote this puzzle that I don't think I remember anything about its construction of interest. I do remember explicitly that I wanted to put TRASH PANDA in this puzzle, as it's (in my opinion) such a fun, evocative phrase. I had also recently observed that WE SHALL OVERCOME was exactly fifteen letters long, so I thought it would be an interesting grid-spanning entry.

DNF. This was a hard one, I surprised myself by getting about 7/9th of it done. But the NW stopped me cold. It still had a bunch of snow when I turned on the red. Nothing across or for 1,2,8 down, and 3-byes, 4-lint, 5-HonER, 7-hop, and 9-ness. Only 6 and 10 were correct. Once I got those cleared out, I wagged everything correctly except cRASH PANDA instead of TRASH.
ROMPER ROOM wasn't a network program? I never knew that!
Once I saw an eagle POUT.
From his team he'd been kicked out.
He was PRUNED
Because a loon
Looked better to a TALON Scout!
The flier was a NINCOMPOOP
He tried to do a loop-de-loop!
He caused a panic
Since aerodynamics
Don't favor that move with a parachute!
Good Will Hunting.
Seemed like two different puzzles to me. The east, center and south fell quickly. Probably 70 % of the puzzle done in under 10 minutes, but the northwest and west took longer. Much longer.
No help needed when all is said and done, but I stared at the squares where NEWT, AREA and ASH belonged for what seemed like an hour. Far from it, but it seemed like it.
I wanted my "Garter snake prey" to be mice, or a vole. "Quarter" and "Squat" weren't ringing any bells that had 4 letters, and I couldn't think of a "Gray shade" that was 3 letters. The breakthrough was, of all things, getting TAN for the "Summer tone" clue that I had considered much earlier.
The NADA, after zero and none wouldn't work with the D from DISNEYLAND. NADA gave me the A to see ASH, and then I guessed at AREA to give me ERIS and complete the grid spanner WE SHALL OVERCOME. Should have seen that one much earlier, but I kept parsing as 'something' LOVER COME.
Practical joke involving ringing ? Dong-dong-dash did not fit, but PRANK CALL did, and helped me get off to that fast start.
I also thought "Old Red Rose" was a super clever clue.
Great job Neville and Husker Gary !
It is always good to see a Neville Fogarty Puzzle. Neville was one of the many wunderkinder that came to our attention early after the switch to the LAT. As we learned in this C.C. INTERVIEW he started as a contestant on Jeopardy when he was 11!
With my limited participation in social media, I was unaware of TRASH PANDA but with ROMPER ROOM (our local host was Ms. Donna) and EMMA WATSON filling quickly, the puzzle went well.
A nice CSO to Oo, but the Thai use of sticky rice is not shown in the link. It is wonderful, especially in desserts like KHAO LAM .
Like Husker, I really liked SHEILA . TOMMY ROE was the very big as I entered my teenage years.
Thank you, Gary and Neville.
Good morning!
Hooray for Wite-Out! It fixed ThorNS, tEd, AT easE, and ONE DAY onLy. I was proud of CRANK CALL, but stared long and hard at TRASH cANDA. You know, TRASH PANDA would make more sense, that that would make the down a PRANK CALL. D'oh! That was my final correction. My newspaper never says, "Tada." Thanx for the workout, Neville, and for the tour, Husker (TTP beat me to Good Will Hunting).
OMERTA: Reminds me of The Irishman -- we finished watching it last night. Had to break it into two installments. It's 3-1/2 hours long.
YETI: At M-o-W they only use IGLOO coolers, probably because IGLOO is headquartered in Houston and they get a big discount. Last week on Thursday we delivered double-meals, and I wound up with 8 52-gallon coolers in my SUV, plus fruit, breads and breakfast bags. Tight fit.
DISNEYLAND: Visited it many times back in the day. I've never been to Orlando, or any other Disney property, for that matter.
PRUNED: Told my yard crew that once again they need to prune the legustrums on the north side of the house. They're about to climb over the eaves. The ones on the south side of the house are at a proper hedge-height.
Yeomen can be male or female.
Star Trek taught me about female Yeomen GRACE LEE WHITNEY .
FIW, with ROlEO x AlAR spoiling my victory. Erased fate for DOOM, eloi for NAVI and ento for ENDO.
We've had TAN a bunch recently. For a while it was clued or answered with Amy, now its a skin colour, eh.
I saw Charlie Hustle's first major league hit on TV. Pinch hit triple, ending with a head-first slide. He was in the starting lineup the next day. My ATF player.
My first girlfriend was a SHEILA, but I don't remember the song. "Blue eyes and a pony tail"? No, but I do remember "black panties with an angel's face".
Thanks to Neville for the fun Saturday puzzle. I was a math wiz, with algebra just being common sense to me. But when I hit geometry with all the proofs I struggled. I hadn't valued memorization since mastering my "times tables", so proofs were hard for me. I've had several CNU students crew for me when racing my sailboat out of Hampton. Bright kids. Go Captains! And thanks for the sterling review, Gary.
My Waterloo was cRANKCALL and couldn't suss TRASHcANDA. Other than that, smooth sailing once the wind picked up!
I'm no PhD, just a YEOMAN NINCOMPOOP commenting on smarter people's fine work. It's rarely that I know 1A on a Saturday puzzle but I remembered TRASH PANDA from a prior puzzle last year. But the rest was a sea of white until I got to the South. But I finished it with TREY (unknown) as my last fill.
Not having seen Harry Potter films, I was thinking Daniel Radcliffe was-now don't laugh- James Bond and I had no idea who played Q or Moneypenny. EMMA WATSON was an unknown perp.
ROME was a WAG. PETE, EMOTICON & NAVI were all perps. Only change: ARE SO to AM TOO. I thought about filling VIEUX CARRE (the French Quarter) for the New Orleans Square but the capital S on Square wouldn't allow that fill.
As a natural redhead, a TAN was not possible. Only freckles. Now I see a dermatologist every 2-3 months to freeze pre-cancerous keratoses before they go to basal cell, squamous cell, or melanoma tumors- I've had all three.
Neville- Linear algebra is the only college course I ever dropped, and I had a B at mid-term. I was taking 19 hours of courses and working at night. Not enough time in the day.
Too hard for me< I gave up. Disappointing.
Good Morning.
Good Will Hunting--one of my favorites for so many reasons. Great acting. A fine example of Robin Williams ability to be so much more than a hyper comedian. Also some great lines from Damon and the Afflecks. The Penn football team prepared for their away games at Harvard by stealing "Wanna go up to Hahvahd and f*** up some smaht kids?" Gotta love Ivy League humor.
I could not and cannot finish this puzzle. It was just too hard for me today. Not a reflection on Dr. Fogarty's work. Thanks so much.
Gary, Thanks for another fine Saturday tour. Today you took me places I certainly missed along the way. An apparent snow storm blinded me.
Off to finish decorating for Christmas. Much more simple these days, and I believe my 51st fresh tree will be our last. Some things much yield to age. I think I'll buy a small pre-lit fake one after this turn. Enjoy the leftovers.
This was an outstanding puzzle! A great Saturday challenge without being undoable. Some clever clues and answers, and none of the standard “crosswordese” fill-in answers.
I slowly plucked away. Ended up finishing the puzzle from top to bottom, with the SE corner the last to finish.
Thanks Neville for this gem!
Jinx
I love The Steve Miller Band. Especially that album that appears in that video you linked. My only qualm is why the video maker used that album cover for that song? The greatest hits album covered his the career up to 1978 and that particular song wasn't released until 1982. Incidentally the official video from Abracadabra invokes fond memories from my high school afternoons rushing home to watch a newly established channel, Mtv, where that song was in a regular rotation.
FIR, challenging, but easier for me than most Saturdays. TAN was my first fill. All but the NW went quickly for a Saturday. I never heard of TRASH PANDA.PANDA was all perps and TRASH was a fortuitous WAG. PANDA was surprising, only the coloring is similar. At our WV cottage stays we would secure the trash can lid in ingenious ways and watch out the window for the raccoons to outsmart us. One time two of them "teeter tottered" a heavy log until it fell off the lid.
I figured the long shot in basketball was a three pointer. The TR-- triggered TREY.
My earliest acquaintance with YEOMAN, was Gilbert and Sullivan's "Yeomen of the Guard."(Big G&S fan)Then in novels I read of YEOMEN as servants in a royal household. My BIL was a YEOMAN in the Navy. We hear of people doing yeoman (great) work on a project.
Jinx,I did not much care for advanced algebra, just the basic kind. I loved geometry and especially the proofs. I moved to a new school which was way behind my old school in geometry, so I had a double dose of the proofs. I used to fold paper boats during the repetitive lessons. A guy who was sweet on me used to sing, "Admiral Kathy and her fleet was a sailor oh so sweet."
New Orleans Square held me up a bit, until I traveled to FL instead of LA.
Our first PLOWable snow is due tomorrow and Monday.
OOPS! Still in the wrong state. DISNEY LAND is in CA. We have been to Disney World many times. We enjoyed it, but have no more interest in going again. I see the park in FL is much larger than the one in CA.
Yellowrocks,
Although it may be a bit of a stretch, a line can be drawn linking the TRASH PANDA to the commonly referred to animal, the panda. One would need to draw the line through the Red Panda as this article from National Geographic suggests. We have had this discussion before. The taxonomy of the Giant Panda and Red Panda seems to be a moving target. Besides, the moniker "TRASH PANDA" is just fun to say and very apropos.
Nat Geo article re: Red Panda
A nincompoop was what I felt like the first half hour then my discordia cleared and answers began to "Eos" on me and finally finished.
Had "rasp" for 11 a but how could I forget my puppy love girlfriend Sheila our song when we were 12 in '62
Tommie Roe sang:
"Sheila said she loved me, she said she'd never leave me
True love will never die
We're so doggone happy just bein' around together
Man, this little girl is fine"
Wanted to put Headstart for preschool program not thinking TV.
Emma Thompson? No, Emma Waters? No, "Emma Watson!!!"
Disagree with "Rome" which is the capital of Latium (both English). The capital of Lazio is Roma (italian) Milan/Lombardy...Milano/Lombardia..Florence/Tuscany...Firenze/Toscana....etc (ecc.)
NOLA square site: almost tried "underwater" the "water level" frequently too high.
Got the "Trash" part but "panda" was a WAG.
Have more outside Christmas decorations to put out. Athough Helios is shining it's a 24 degree day and I hate frostbite
Good Morning:
At first pass, I thought "Uh oh, I'm in trouble", but as the long answers started to fill in, the going got smoother. I still had my share of stumbles: Is not/Am not, One day Only/Sale, Icon/User, Moue/Pout, and Sewer/Hewer. I needed perps for Romper Room, Sheila, DisneyLand, and Trash Panda. I filled in Emma immediately, I knew exactly who she is, but had to wait for the SON before I could think of her last name. Our Dry Mop was always called a Dust Mop and an easy job was a Cushy one. Noticed the PAM/SPAM duo and also took note of the low three letter word count, always a plus, in my book. My favorite C/As were: Numerical pair?=Eleven and the one that threw me off completely, Old Red Rose=Pete.
Thank you, Neville, for a chewy but doable Saturday and thanks, HG, for your usual dose of wit and wisdom and the numerous and sparkling visuals and links.
DO @ 6:57 ~ I have made three attempts to watch "The Irishman" and I have fallen asleep all three times, at different junctures; therefore, I have to keep going back to the beginning to see what I missed. It's not because it's boring, far from it, but it's because I'm watching it too late. (Idid learn something surprising, to me anyway, from Mr. G: Jimmy Hoffa was not Italian, nor was he from the Northeast.)
As of last night, we're expecting 8-12" of snow, starting tomorrow and continuing on Monday. Hibernation time!
Have a great day.
Good morning, folks. Thank you, Neville Fogarty, for a fine puzzle. Thank you, Husker Gary, for a fine review.
This puzzle seemed daunting at first pass. I went through it and got a few gimmes. Then I bounced around and picked up a couple more. Tried a few Wags that did not pan out. My first break was the SE. Got WATER LEVEL and ONE DAY SALE. STICKY RICE came soon after. Tried Spicey Rice first. Then MENLO PARK became obvious. And I spread from there.
With a few perps got WE SHALL OVERCOME. The was a big help.
ADAR was a wag that worked. We have had that month before.
ENDO came with perps.
Never heard of TRASH PANDA, but it makes sense. I had enough letters to give it a good wag. ROMPER ROOM made sense. I had heard of that. EMMA WATSON was unknown. Enough perps that I filled her in. Never saw those movies.
Remembered SHEILA. Could not remember who sang it until I came here. Oh well.
Liked TAPER, make a point.
This puzzle took me about an hour and a half. Not bad for me for a Saturday.
See you tomorrow.

Ray, I wanted ROMA, too, for that reason. However, Wikipedia says, "The capital of Lazio is Rome, which is also Italy's capital and the country's largest city."
Roni, thanks for reminding me that we have discussed the red panda before. Apparently recent research puts them in a family of their own.
"Red pandas were at first classified as relatives of raccoons in the Procyonidae family, because of physical similarities, such as the head, teeth and ringed tail, according to the Smithsonian National Zoo. Later, because of some DNA similarities, they were classified as bears in the Ursidae family. Recent genetic research now places them in their own family, Ailuridae."
Trash Panda is a funny name. Many, many times we have found them in our trash. At one park they were so numerous and totally inured to humans that they would walk up to picnic tables in a threatening way, causing the picnickers to run off and abandon their food. We just held our ground and scared them off.
I forgot to mention earlier that after guessing it would be AREA for "Quarter", that it took a few minutes to make sense of why it worked. I didn't have the same reason that Husker Gary did, but his works too. The BOQ's were always separated from the enlisted quarters.
I made sense of AREA as quarter as in the French Quarter. An area within NOLA. So if you see anything that reads "The French Quarter Area", it's really like saying the French Area Area.... Kinda like "The La Brea Tar Pits", don't you think ?
Husker: Womderful, informative write-up. GOOD JOB!!!
Yeah! It is the LAST-DAY of Hurricane Season ...
Hope everyone had a Great Thanksgiving Dat.
Cheers!
Yellow rocks....Maybe time to "go to the mattresses" at Wikipedia and make a hit on the "Edit" button and "convince" them to make a correction. "Talkin' to you Wkikpdia!"
😉
Hi All!
My best Saturday performance in a while but still a DNF. NADA didn't occur to me and I was still in the Mississippi Delta at 27d.
Thanks Neville for the puzzle. I got a big smile when I finally suss'd TRASH PANDA.
Excellent expo, HG. Thanks.
Fav: clue for PETE Rose.
{A, B+}
Anyone else think of Rtic first?
BigE - I too was thinking of 007 or some other action star. EMMA WATSON was ESP.
TTP - I was still parsing 39a as ????AL LOVER COME when I tossed-the-towel.
Y'all have a wonderful Saturday!
Cheers, -T
When I lived in the Sierras I had two raccoons come to my door every late afternoon in winter. I'd let them in and give them a few cookies to eat. They would sit on their hindquarters, turn their heads away and reach out with their paws and gently take the cookies. They would then hang out for a bit and warm up, walk over to the door and I'd let them out. "See ya tomorrow, you rascals".
They always put a smile on my face. Just like the deer did in summer when they munched on the Cheerios. But that's another story.
FIW. I looked at TRASH CAN DA (Dist. Att.) a long time before I realized cRANK CALL could be PRANK CALL. Never heard the phrase "trash panda". Once completed the rest of the puzzle seemed relatively easy for Saturday. Very enjoyable.
Don't mean to Trash anyone's panda but Racoons are notorious carriers of rabies. Especially ones that don't seem to be afraid of humans or act confused or aggressive. Seen many kids come to our ER with bites they didnt expect and not know the status of the animal.
Just sayin' 🦝
I see that English language travel brochures call the region LAZIO, not Latium, so it seems ROME as the capital is fine. I yielded my nit almost immediately, assuming Rich or Joyce had researched it. Ray O Sunshine, I usually try hard to get my facts straight before I go to the mattress on anything. I try not to have egg on my face, so I don't have to wipe it off.
Neville, very enjoyable puzzle. HG, as usual, a yeoman's expo.
Jerome, nice story. Raccoons are fun to watch.
Be careful when camping. You need to secure your food in your vehicle's trunk, if possible, and immediately get rid of your trash. Bears, skunks, and opossums, as well, can be unwelcome visitors at a campsite, but fun when you have a cottage or cabin. From our cottage we watched a bear rip a six inch hole in our garbage shed. She reached a paw in and could only come up with pieces of plastic bags. She left disappointed, and the park crew patched the hole that very day. We were surprised the bear gave up without enlarging the hole.
Without a Constructor name in the paper,
I sneaked a peek at The Blog to find out whom I am dealing with.
Having read the 1A clue, I could not help catching some commentary
in the corner of my eye. (Dang Cross Eyed troubles...)
& that was enough to scare me off from even attempting this puzzle.
Normally leaves & gutters would force me to do the puzzle,
but this time it was the other way round...
P.S.,
I am not saying anyone should go into the wilderness
in ignorance, but after much experience, I sincerely
miss those days when I could just enjoy being outdoors
without knowing what could kill you...
(hmm, that goes for Suburbia as well...)
CED, thanks again for that PICK WICK pic.
I left you a link at the end of the comments section of yesterday's blog.
Hmmmm. Should'a said 52-quart (not 52-gallon) coolers. It was early, and I wasn't fully awake. That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.
Great story 👍
CED, I thoroughly enjoyed the outdoors while tent camping for 40 years until age 77, when Mr. Arthur Itis put the kibosh on that. The smell of the pines, the peacefulness, the bird song and the wildlife, the wildflowers, the wind soughing through the treetops, babbling brooks, mountain vistas, I miss them all. But even back in the 70's, we were well aware of living safely with wildlife. I was never afraid or nervous while camping. We watched a skunk enter a tent maybe 25 yards away and held our breath. Apparently he did not spray. I don't know what he ate in there.
During the same time period, most years including 2019, we also rented a housekeeping cabin or cottage in most of the wild, wonderful West Virginia state parks. The cabin sites are well spread out and it feels like living in the forest, often next to a murmuring brook. I love the WV mountains. We visited many of the sights, natural and man made, some of them several times in all these years. Now we usually stick to the northern half. When I was younger we took the long drives that included visits to the southern tier, as well.
BTW, I thought that pick wick/Pickwick yesterday was fun.
DO, I wondered about the huuuge coolers.
Ray O Sunshine, yes, I am suspicious about rabies, too. I asked the park ranger about the raccoons who are active and approach people, especially in the daytime. He assured us that these were just inured to humans who fed them. IMO this is a bad practice. And feeding the deer is actually injurious to them for countless reasons. I will spare you a long rant on this.
I started slowly with BOMB which is football terminology. Which gave me bosuns. And, not as inky as Midwest proved to be.
Btw, FLN: I had IOU for that charge clue.
"Cheeks are rosy, she looks a little nosy
Man, this little girl is fine"
I had MICE as snake prey
Where's the comma ? eg Red,Rose
Not AESOP but Shakespeare's Julius Caesar
2nd fav: WRYLY c Mr Hustle above
Oh, so YETI's a brand.

Posting. Read comments after church
Woe! A crunch fest. I had to wait until after we drove back from Key West to get on this. I fell asleep half way through and cut some zzzs, my wife said, but I awoke and finished up with a couple of WAGs. Nice puzzle.
I like friendly racoon stories, not ones with rabies.
