Title: G where did you come from?
Amie comes to us from Idaho; oh I mean I don't know. The theme is a very classic Friday add a letter to a L-starting phrase, clue to the new meaning and let the hilarity ensue.

Although there were a couple of rather obscure answers, such as "purl," on the whole I found the puzzle fair and fun. FIR, so I'm happy.
Good morning!
Yay, no reveal to miss. Is it just me, or did this seem easy for a Friday? Only needed Wite-Out to correct COWBOYS to NUGGETS (oops, wrong state) -- at least the S was correct. Thanx, Amie (is this a debut?) and Lemonade. (GRIFT wasn't random -- Amie had to use the G of that themer.)
COED: I lived in a pseudo-COED dorm one summer back in the '60s. Witte Hall consisted of two towers with a common area on the ground floor.
FIRight! No particular difficulties.
Theme is G for Good.
AMANDA GORMAN is a name to note.
As a POET, she may become the Goat!
Her words are sure,
Her motives pure.
Compared to her, I may as well be a shoat!
Beware of SCAMS, and other such GRIFT.
To surf the Net, cynicism is a gift.
Be ever suspicious.
Cons may be viscous.
Hey, did I mention, I'm a Nigerian ptince?
{B+, B+.]
FIR. Clever theme, and proof you don't need a unified to solve it. Very nice Friday challenge.
TGIF? No, FIRF! Erased rea for RAE, burnt for TABOO, and fiat for WRIT. DNK AGAS or that ALDO sold shoes.
Interesting that we had both end-of-week cries:
-TGIF: Thank God Its Friday!
-POETs day: Piss On Everything, Tomorrow's Saturday!
HOLE was an alt-rock band, put together by Kurt Cobain's bride-to-be, Courtney Love.
FLN - WC, True facts.
Thanks to Amie for the fun Friday puzzle that even I could finish. And thanks to Lemony for the informative review.
Hi Y'all! Fun & fast. Least time spent on a solve in several days. Thanks, Amie. Thanks, Lemonade for adding to the fun.
Got the "G" theme with the second one which helped with the others.
Minor hang up in the bottom center. I was thinking college "course requirement" not PLATES crossed with RPM/__LE in HOLE (never heard of 'em) and ME in merest. Had the REST. Only red-letter run today.
"Let's take it down a notch" does not suggest NOW NOW to me. More like "shut up". ESP but I knew the NUGGETS. Watched them in the NBA playoffs. (Yay, Golden State Warriors won the championship last night even though I slept through the last half until the final minutes. Aaargh! Oh well, it was getting too physically rough for my liking.)
DNK: PURL, IONE, SHAHS, RICCI, ALDO, RAE. Perped in okay.
A very nice puzzle with easily recognized added letter theme but a FIW today. Took a hard look at 41D for "mucky stuff', wanted GOOP, but also saw GLOWWORM FILE. Never heard of of the band HOLE and filled HMLE. GLOW PROFILE came to mind. No other real problems.
SHAHS, PURL, RICCI, and ALDO were unknowns filled by perps.
SLEEPING IN- just wish I could sleep for more than three hours straight. No alarm for me.
Jinx- About 40 years AGO a bar named P.O.E.T.S in Metairie opened down the street from a TGIF restaurant. For a while it was the 'in' spot before closing.
I will try again. I thought my post yesterday was one of my better ones. When it disappeared and I lost the whole thing, I quit.
This seemed fast and easy for a Friday. I needed perps and wags for HOLE, CHRIS, and WES. The theme was soon evident and helped the solve.
The question mark and having the P made PLATES an easy wag for course requirements. Clever.
For PURL I had the UR center. Ball of yarn suggested PURL, a knitting stitch.
Persian Americans was a good hint along with S--HS to get SHAHS.
The Magi School Bus series of books is popular with 6-9 year olds.
When I was teaching while raising kids, I didn't celebrate TGIF. Saturday, catch up day was the hardest day of the week and Sunday evening was taken up with lesson planning.
Took 7:34 to Gget this one.
I had Broncos before Nuggets, but "now now" (which I agree with the prior comment) corrected that.
I was confident Hole had released "Celebrity Skin" 25ish years ago, but thought that may be obscure for the LAT Crossword. I don't care for "merest".
I think Yellowrocks just inadvertently created a new hit show, "Magi School Bus". Watch as Balthazar and his friends travel the Middle East in a converted school bus without the navigational needs of a star....
TGIF.
Yes, to WEES (what everyone else said)! A fast and fun Friday puzzle that I FIR. With the second themer I got it: add a G to the common phrase starting with L. Later I noticed the first words are similar. GLINT, GLITTER, GLISTEN and GLOW. Thanks, Amie, for a puzzle that made me glad I could solve it.
Some WOs as I first entered wrong words but perps were helpful for those as well as for unknown names. Thanks, Lemonade, for your review done with humor as well as needed information.
TGIF with a FAST start. Now onto morning chores while it's cooler. Hope you all have a great weekend!
TGIFriday. Thanks for the fun, Amie and Lemonade.
I FIRed and saw the G theme early. Nice catch re the shiny Gs, ATLGranny.
Mini-FOOD theme with FAST, PLATES, UNRIPE, NUGGETS, SALT, ICE, and Spam in a TIN.
Far west was last to fill. My Spam was in a Can, then a Bin (for junk mail), until GRIFT finally appeared.
Wishing you all a great day.
Good Morning:
I thought the themers were sort of vanilla until I just read ATLGranny’s astute observation of the synonymous G words, which definitely makes my appreciation go up a notch! It also reinforces my lack of observational skills. I thought the solve was on the easy side for a Friday, probably due to the obvious theme. The only unknowns were Aldo and Hole, as clued.
Thanks, Amie, for a fun Friday and thanks, Lemony, for the fun facts and many links which I’ll check out when they decide to appear on my Glint Screen.
SS @ 7:43 ~ Funny imagery. 🤭
Have a good day.
Got ‘er done for a FIR in about 30. Don’t know time exactly because of interruptions. Anyway, fair Friday fare with a few too many proper names and a lot I DNK and had to rely on perps and a few WAGs, but it all eventually came together. Habits reminds me of the old joke that it is O.K. to fondle a nun, as long as you don’t get into the habit. Favorite fill: YOUBETICAN, because it was an early WAG that broke the SE for me. Thanx for the mental exercise, AW. And thanx too for the wonderful write-up, Lemonade. Please know all the time and effort you put into it is appreciated. I hope Boomer and C.C. are managing their way through this weeks trials and tribulations.
Thank you Amie for a felicitous Friday puzzle that seemed more like a Wednesday Has Patti heard the "cries of the poor" (solvers) on the Corner, and taken pity on us? That said I got a DNF as I DNK ALDO, although I could have probably perped it if I weren't so IDLE. And I liked the GLorryous theme. Keep on truckin' Amie!
And thank you Lemony for a wry, very informative review, and for some interesting Internet BLING (my first candidate for PASTE). DNK HOLE and liked the clip.
35A IONE. Loved reminiscing as I climbed through her family tree.
43A TIN. A CSO to our sundown solver?
54A ICE. My grandson is from Harbin, China, home of the world famous Ice Festival. Their "short term" sculptures last for two months.
9D WES. My favorite of his films is The Grand Budapest Hotel. A real "Concerto for Actors" (a la Bartok) and a cinematic tour de force.
48D TGIF. Until this second this went right over my head.
55D CODE. Wasn't sure about the "taboo supra" reference, so I Googled it. This was probably purely serendipitous, but a fascinating discovery.
Cheers,
Bill
FIR, easy Friday ...obvious theme finally but got fooled by three GLI's. The last was GLO. Inkovers: lps/RPM, diarist/DNATEST. . The "poet"? Didn't know it. "The Rock band"?..ALDO? ..nope
By now I know INGE and his plays "Bus Stop"..(never understood the first few lines.)
I use "Dropbox", then I can't find the docs I "dropped" there.😒... "Chow" could be FOOD for a coyote.😲
PURL, A knitting term, though I wasn't sure it crossed with PBS and not CTN (children's television network), so perpwaited. "The GRIFTers" great 90's crime film with Anjelica Huston. I'm a "Yellowjackets" (Showtime) series addict (a contemporary "Lord of the Flies" type drama/mystery) but still needed perps for RICCI.....Liked "course requirements" PLATES..now that is a Friday-worthy clue
"Some animals claim their territory with a" GLANDMARK?.. "Mirror writing is" GLASSBACKWARDS?..ok. ok. I'll stop and leave quietly. 🚪🕺
😁
Musings
-WELDING MASK was protection from bright flashes of light before the fun gimmick appeared
-NOW, NOW works, Lemon, but you have to actually wait for them to settle down before proceeding
-NOW, NOW, What Patti’s thinks is FAIR cluing HABITS are settling in.
-Lyrics today do have kids using “coarser” language. George Carlin would say, “They’re only words!”
-My town has made Spam in TINS for decades.
-The list of TABOOS is shrinking like our cwd friend the Aral Sea
-48 days of subbing this year: Gross: $7,200.00, NET: $5,780.47.
-I only set an alarm when I have a plane to catch. Otherwise, I depend on our kitty.
-NUGGETS, Rockies and Broncos also work
-A wonderful movie about GRIFTING and the Dirty 30’s and got an O in the egOt for Tatum O’Neal.
-Why did this ALDO leap to my mind?
-My 23ANDME DNA test led to find out a relative had two slaves when he left Virginia for Kentucky
I agree with WEES about the relative easiness of this puzzle. Perhaps we're going in reverse now, with Monday being the hardest and Friday the easiest? Actually, it doesn't seem like the order is quite that logical, although Monday definitely seemed harder than usual and Friday easier than usual. Go figure!
Great Friday puzzle with just enough challenge to make it fun. Thank you Alt granny for the reveal of glowing words.
Except for hanging on to YAP instead of YIP a little too long, quick solve.
Yes, The Grand Budapest Hotel is a favorite of mine too.
Hi All!
That was easy for a Friday. Thanks Amie and congrats on the LAT debut(?). I liked the theme.
Thank you Lem for the post-fill review.
WO: I FEel ->FEAR
ESPs: PURL | RAE, RICCI | IONE, LANAI, SHAHS, ALDO
Fav: SLEEPING IN. Sunday will be the first time in a week I (hope) I CAN.
The Girls loved Magic School Bus. Lily Tomlin voiced the teacher.
I prefer this Magic Bus [The Who] //nice Hollies, Ray-O! LOL GLASS BACKWARDS

FLN - Nice to see you LeoIII. Yes, DW is smarter than me and, yes, will try to blurt out answers at me... Noooo!
HG - I already had GATES so didn't even try the other Mile-High teams.
unclefred - LOL. Let's hope Lucina appreciates the humor ;-)
Cheers, -T
Delightful, manageable, fun Friday puzzle--many thanks, Amie. And thanks for your very helpful commentary, Lemonade.
Liked your poems, Owen.
Always nice to see a POET in a puzzle, along with a writer like INGE, a favorite of mine.
Goofed by putting ARF in for that puppy noise, which created problems when I just knew SOFA had to be right. Finally fixed it with the YIP. It's been a while since I've had a puppy in the house.
How could Chow be anything other than FOOD? Easy one, thanks, Amie.
Have a great weekend, everybody.
Hola!
Today our driveways are being repaved so of course, I was awakened early by the sound of machinery in mine so no SLEEPING IN today. But I was treated to Amie Walker's fun puzzle. GLINT, GLITTER and GLISTEN are words that are dear to my heart. I love GLITTER. My license plate has a GLITTER frame and most of my shoes GLITTER and GLISTEN.
Christina RICCI has been acting from a very young age but she is all grown up now.
I've never heard of the band HOLE but it perped easily.
My HABIT started out black but then we switched to gray which made it much cooler and lighter than the wool serge.
LANAI crossing TIN; that's rich. Hawaiians love their spam.
The firm which does my taxes E-FILES and the results are back in less than two weeks.
Mani/pedi day today! My nail tech will be leaving on vacation soon.
Enjoy your day, everyone! It's already 100 degrees at 9:37!
uncleFred:
No, I had not heard that joke so thanks for the laugh. Believe me, it would be a brave man who would try to enter through all those pleats and many yards of material.
Ray-O,
I too, never understood the opening lyrics to bus stop...
Wasn't going to post, as I had nothing to add, and then I thought....
Note: I watched the entire 8:53 ( short?) of "Purl," thinking I was going to post it here, but I was "meh" about the beginning, "meh" about the middle, and "meh" about the end. While it does have some social commentary, it is just not entertaining enough to post here. I understand now why it is lesser known.
If I may, for your amusement instead post a Christmas Carol goes wrong,
I know Old Man Keith will get a kick out of it.
Ray-O, pls note the glass backwards reference in between time stamps 12:20 and 13:20 where straw becomes warts...
Ray - O @10:06 AM Thanks for that trip down memory lane with the Hollies. So many of their great songs I thought were from other groups.
Misty @11:37 AM You always have to perp wait that puppy.
...WAZ ..& CED: thanks for the translation...but by the time I hear the song again I'll forget the lyrics. 😬
GEE, a clever PZL from Ms. Walker, parsed by Lemonade.
It's in line with recent Friday challenges, not as hard as our first glance suggests... FIR by me.
BRAY tell: didn't we have this recently?
HUES are not necessarily "Shades." As I recall from color theory classes (from many, many years ago, in Lighting Design 101), HUES may be either Shades (darker colors) or Tints (lighter), depending on a brightness scale.
SLEEPING IN? Past a certain age, does anybody need an alarm on their clock? Since I retired in '16, I rarely need to get up at a certain hour. When I do, it is probably for a doctor's appointment.
But I never bother with an alarm. My body just knows.

Like all of our bloggers I work hard on our write-ups and it is disconcerting to not have things go well while composing which deflected me from my first goal of informing. Even without distractions I will forget to include things which I thought about when I began writing, though what is included is generally done so for a purpose. It is extra fun when the readers find those little gems. As a group you all are so articulate and expert in your approach and knowledge I know there is always more to see than I do.
Go Corner!
I liked this puzzle. I agree with Irish Miss that ATLGranny's observation about the theme enhances it.
If DNATEST had been RNATEST, DABAT would be RABAT.
I have sometimes felt as if I was just a COG in the machine. Other times I have felt as if I was the machine.
I stopped using Dropbox years ago when it began to take control of and hog my computer's resources. I think it thought it was the operating system. Nobody I shared files with used it anyway.
I like green olives and UNRIPE bananas.
Lemonade, interesting note about the three 4-letter names all starting with I: Issa, IONE, and INGE. Good catch.
In America we have Spam in a can and throw away our stuff into the garbage can. In the U.K. they are a TIN and a BIN.

As a kid I DARED to jump over a barbed wire fence. I got badly cut as a result. You can still see a couple of scars on my leg. Apparently it was an OMEN to those who DARED me because none of them attempted it.

CrossEyedDave@12:06 ~ Thanks for thinking of me.
I enjoyed parts of that BBC spoof. It reminded me how over-the-top some British humor (or. er...humour) can go. Outrageous!
Unfortunately, the laugh-track proved too disconcerting to watch it all the way through.
I did a couple of versions of the Carol in my day, including a one-man show reading of it just before retirement.
Dickens created a marvelous story, and his innate theatrical sense made it a joy to adapt for either stage or film.

Waseeley, I really miss having a puppy. But after having two of my sweet dachshunds taken off brutally by coyotes in my backyard over three years, I just couldn't face the danger of more loss. But they are still in my heart.
Sorry I'm late Another busy day even though I solved yesterday.
If Not NOW NOW how about There, there
Yes, SOFA was automatic but I had trouble because I had arf/YIP. As did Misty I see
Did TIN get his CSO?. Yep, waseeley remembered
PK, Series was indeed rough but the better team won. C's fell asleep from end of 2nd to halfway into 3rd quarter. 21-0 spurt. C's were exhausted and Warriors depth and overall quality was too much. Oh, did I mention Steph Curry?
I thought it was "Bus stop, Busco "
I always mixup boors,Boers and BOARS
The greatest deterrent to coyotes and other varmints is a mule speaking of BRAY

Jayce:
Yes, I recall Gwyneth Paltro's GOOP.
Misty, I didn't know of your loss and I'm sorry to hear it. Coyotes are a nuisance here, too, especially for people who live close to the mountains.
