Theme: PICK UP LINES.
Today's crossword puzzle by Gary Cee reminds us about some things we can pick up. Those things are the second word in each of the answers to the clues marked with asterisks. They have nothing to do with the cheesy pick up line illustrated above!
The big reveal is right in the center of the puzzle:
37-Across. With 39-Across, "Move faster!," or what one can do with the end of the answer to each starred clue: PICK. Together, 37- and 39-Across spell out PICK IT UP. Let's see how this applies to the "starred" clues -- the ones marked with asterisks.
17-Across. *Teen magazine launched in 1965: TIGER BEAT. Tiger Beat was an American teen fan magazine marketed primarily to adolescent girls. The magazine had a paper edition until December 2018, and afterward was published exclusively online until 2021. And of course, you can PICK UP the BEAT, which means to start playing or moving in rhythm with the music, and perhaps to speed up a bit.
25-Across. *Nail-biting moment: CLOSE CALL. A close call is a narrow escape from danger or disaster. Some folks bite their nails at such tense moments! And of course, you can PICK UP a CALL, or let it go to voicemail.
55-Across. *British tabloid: DAILY MAIL. The Daily Mail is a British daily tabloid newspaper published in London. It was founded in 1896. As of 2020, it has the highest circulation of paid newspapers in the UK. And of course, you can PICK UP the MAIL.
64-Across. *Notation for a fretted instrument: GUITAR TAB. Tablature (or tab for short) is a form of musical notation indicating instrument fingering or the location of the played notes rather than musical pitches.
Tablature is common for fretted stringed instruments such as the guitar or lute. It was common during the Renaissance and Baroque eras, and is used today in notating many forms of music. And of course, you can PICK UP the TAB -- pay for something, especially for what someone else has bought or used.
Time for me to PICK UP the pace. Onward!

Not too many obscure names in this one.
I even remembered “Arianna” from somewhere but even if I hadn’t, the perps were quite kind on that and any other answers that were at all difficult. FIR, so I’m happy.
I "picked up" that the guitar tab image from Naomi is the opening to Stairway to Heaven; I must be getting better . . . .
Good morning!
Unlike Splynter, d-o had no idea what a "Guitar TAB" could be. I'll bet CED also is familiar with 'em. Otherwise, the pzl was Tuesday-easy; Wite-Out need not apply. Thanx Gary and NaomiZ. (The most wasteful feature of KALE CHIPS is that once you taste the first one, you'll throw out the rest of the batch.)
WHAMMY: Methinks RosE's cast extends beyond her elbow, so it immobilizes the wrist.
FIR, but legit->LICIT and skoch->SKOSH. UNTIE!
Levi's had a men's line that used the tag line 'With a Skosh More Room'. (For guys that insisted "I am NOT a 40, I'm a 38 - these jeans are mis-sized!") Not to be confused with Duluth Trading's 'Ballroom Jeans.'
I've never lived in San Francisco, but I have cohabitated with a few potential DWs, and have experienced LSD a few times. I liked the hallucinations, but it was worse than golf for killing a whole day, and I could never get to sleep afterwards, despite being bone tired.
When DW and I took a trip to southern Italy, I was amazed that a very good classico riserva CHIANTI could be had in a local store for about $6 US. Further, the same bottle in restaurants was only a couple of bucks more, unlike the American restaurant custom of being double the store price. (I learned at an early age to never buy the house CHIANTI with the wicker basket around the bottle, often used as a table decoration.)
Thanks to Gary for the fun freezer-day puzzle. I give Mr. Cee an Ay on this one. And thanks to NaomiZ for the fun fill in, and for crowbarring a "Jinx" into the review.
FIR. Several mysteries for me, like guitar tab, Arianna, and schlub(?). But fortunately the perps were kind.
Having the reveal in the middle gave me a hint to one of the two remaining starred clues, guitar tab excepted.
Overall a fairly enjoyable puzzle.
This was easier than yesterday, and for me pretty boring. We are supposed to have our coldest weather in more than a year which makes me happy that Oo and I recently bought new heavy sweaters on sale for $3.00 each at Wal-Mart which is a store she likes. Thank you Naomi and Gary.
Took 6:14 today for me to pace myself, if you're picking-up what I'm putting-down.
"Yiddish put-down" may be our frontrunner for worst clue of January, but otherwise a pretty straightforward puzzle today.
This was a nice steady solve with a creative theme
TIGER BEAT and DAILY MAIL were both answers that I couldn't come up with on their own - but came to mind as a few perps started filling in. Do we have a word on the Corner for not needing ESP?
KALE CHIPS are kind of like deep friend anything - with the chips the salt and crunch are fun to eat regardless of the base, same with deep fried (insert veggie or meat here) , if you like savory foods then the breading and frying make whatever is inside okay.
Do SCHLUBs schlep things?
Thanks Naomi for the fun blog and Gary for the puzzle
Terrific Tuesday. Thanks for the fun, Gary and NaomiZ (I liked your extra themer “pick up the pace”, and your opposite catch of “put down”).
I FIRed in a little more than the usual Tuesday time, and saw the PICK IT UP theme.
Several inkblots. I WAGged Breanna before ARIANNA perped. I would have known Grande but she has only ONE N.
SKOSH is not very familiar to me, and I always have trouble with the TV channels- HSN perped.
Legal changed to Legit and finally to LICIT. .
“Put a whammy on” is another unfamiliar phrase for me. I had Cease before CURSE perped.
I wanted “Give me a break”, but HAND fit.
I noted two different meaning for Pool crossing at 16A and 11D.
Of course you know that I smiled at LITRES with the “proper” spelling.
Yes NaomiZ, that view of TOR from the Toronto Islands is very pretty, although all the tall condo buildings built on the waterfront in the last 30 years have spoiled things IMHO. The reverse view from the top of the CN tower is very impressive in all directions.
Wishing you all a great day. Stay warm.
A nice puzzle for a Tuesday with some fresh fill and a decipherable theme which I needed the reveal to figure out, FIR in 11:53. ARIANNA was all perps and a learning moment. I read a lot of articles linked from what is now referred to as the “Huff Post”, which one late radio commentator used to call the “Huffington and Puffington Post”, you can probably guess who that was. The wine and spirits industry also shifted to the metric system years ago, the most common bottle size now being 750 milliLITRE which replaced the fifth (of a gallon). And speaking of 🍷, CHIANTI is my go to at an Italian restaurant, not one of the CABS. In addition to C.C. being impressive in the LANES, as I recall, Boomer also had some big nights on his LANES. It’s a safe bet that KALE CHIPS will never pass my lips. My older sister always had the latest issue of TIGER BEAT. SPIELBERG has made some great movies, my favorite is probably “Schindler’s List”. Playing in a band, one of the worst scenarios is starting a song with too slow a tempo, then trying to PICK IT UP in sync 🙄. Thanks Gary for the enjoyable solve.
NaomiZ ~ thanks for filling the Tuesday slot in Hahtoolah’s absence, you have a knack for reviewing the puzzles in a detailed and entertaining way. A very apropos SO to Rose, and along with all the others I wish her a speedy recovery. Nice pic of the Toronto skyline (and SO to CEh! 🇨🇦). I was up in the CN Tower once, looking down, watched the roof of the stadium below slowly open to reveal a Blue Jays game, now that was impressive!
Mostly easy. The G in TIGER and MAGNET took a long time. I don't put my shopping list on the fridge. I stick it in my date book, My fridge magnets hold photos and a few of Alan's art projects.
I think of TIGER as a tiger mom. "a strict or demanding mother who pushes her child or children to high levels of achievement, especially by using methods regarded as typical of childrearing in China and other parts of East Asia." I have met quite a few of them. LIU. A tiger was a cute boy, new to me.
I have heard schlub used often in describing a person who is someone who is unattractive, stupid, or worthless. I have not heard it used as a face to face slur.
We elementary teachers are familiar with Stuart Little.
The SADE I recognize is an ABC news anchor.
DO, LOL, I love your description of a bag of kale chips as wateful.
Musings
-I first thought BEAT IT (scram), CALL IT (heads or tails), MAIL IT (USPS) were the “IT” gimmick but TAB wouldn’t work and so I had to expand my search.
-Pet NAMES: Siamese cats Muffin, Emily and Lily have enriched almost 50 years of our lives so far.
-Shaq was such a poor free-throw shooter that his teammates were amazed when he made two in a row in a playoff game.
-Me too, Nina! When a mensch has to deal with a SCHLUB, they can feel verklempt
-LEGAL, LEGIT, LICIT
-I only recently learned this trick to peel that orange SPHERE
-A very good Earth Science demo with that orange
-I like to shop in town and don’t shop on TV but yesterday I ordered a very unusual item from Amazon and it will be here today
-Thanks to Naomi and Gary.
Today's offering was just a SKOSH tougher (for me, anyhow) than yesterday, but the very helpful perps carried me to the FIR. Nice job of pinch-hitting, NaomiZ! Always enjoyed visiting Toronto. A lovely city, friendly folks, and some great music in the clubs on Younge Street back in the late 60's.
YONGE Street!
Much easier CW than yesterday. More fun also. I’m not familiar with SHLUB.
Favorite clue: AHI TUNA. I too went from LEGAL to LEGIT to LICIT.
Unfortunately I left the G of TIGER and MAGNET blank and forgot to go back to it, since I probably would have guessed it.
Thanks NaomiZ for á nice, upBEAT review. Sweet find for RosE’s cast.
Breezed through; another week where Tuesday was easier than Monday. Nothing really tricky
ORACLES AUGUR
LICIT or legal like aver/avow?
At 7’ 1” ONEAL is truly a “basketball giant” …. KALE CHIPS? 😝
“Shopping list holder” …my lap…where DW silently drops the list on a Saturday while I’m doing the puzzle. Thought they were called tidePOOLS. MANED male lions makes sense but I’ve only seen it in CWs. Seemed AHI ahi should perp but came up one letter short. SEABLUE is nue tue me tue. Must be a 22down
____ you name a French Riviera Film festival city?… CANNES
“Flat earthers” motto: “Only thing we have to fear ‘ _____ itself” … SPHERE.
Try out a deodorant:…. TESTBAN
Creative casserole cooking: …. STUART
More snow!! ⛄️ oh no 😟
Aaugggh! A typo in the blog post at 50 Across! "An orange is not a perfect sphere, but it's certainly gloBular."
No complaints, easy peasy... lessee, HG gave me an interesting way to peel an orange with a spoon, I will try it. I really wanted to use this method, but it never works with the oranges DW brings home from the supermarket.
Anyone who owns a cat has probably experienced this phenomenon.
Yes, I am aware of guitar tabs and use them all the time. They are great for learning songs, but not so easy to play along with...
Of more use to the street performer, would a guitar chord play along. I found the following when looking for the above 20 second guitar tab short.
simple twist of fate
This site has over 1200 songs, and there are lots of other sites...
Yellowrocks at 9:30 AM correctly defined SCHLUB as "a person who is someone who is unattractive, stupid, or worthless." And yes, commonly said OF a person rather than TO that person.
Hola!
STUART Little brings back memories of reading it in my classroom to my class.
My friend, Kathy, often says SKOSH and now I know why: her father was an army vet. I had never heard it before hearing her.
For a class at USD we would go out and search TIDAL pools for various SEA life.
LEGIT, then LICIT
Is a DAB a SKOSH?
I have never had, nor hope to have, KALE CHIPS. Cabbage is bad enough. Is that a good reason to incinerate it? SEA FOOD is also on my dislike list so that includes AHI TUNA or any kind of TUNA unless it's smothered with mayo. During Lent , eating any kind of SEA FOOD is my sacrifice.
MAGNETS were once my list holders, now ALEXA is.
ARIANNA Huffington used to b a commentator on some show that I watched a long time ago.
Thank you, NaomiIZ for your narration. RosE, I hope you heal soon.
Fun Tuesday puzzle, many thanks, Gary. And your comments are always a help and a pleasure, thanks for those too, NaomiZ. And we all hope RosE has a good recovery ahead.
Always enjoy it when a puzzle has music, like this one with an OBOE and a GUITAR giving the place an AURA, like a SEA BLUE sky. Thankfully someone COOKS so that the folks at work can enjoy some AHI TUNA along with some CHIANTI on the PATIO, and also with some crunchy KALE CHIPS. Not a bad way to spend a morning, I'd say.
Have a pleasant and warm and good day, everybody.
My usual bane, too many names, might have pertained to this CW with its 15, but I only DNK 2, so I won't kvetch. Only W/O = TIGERTEAM:TIGERBEAT. Easier than yesterday, a FIR in 11. Once again, I forgot to look for the theme, but would have found it had I thought to look. Thanx GC for this enjoyable, witty, doable CW, perfect for a Tuesday. Thanx too to NaomiZ for the usual outstanding write-up. Chilly morning here in FLL, 51*F. I love it: can shut off the A.C. and open the windows.
I am very curious what HG thinks is a "very unusual item" from Amazon. Has it arrived? Is it licit or illicit? Bigger than a bread box?
NaomiZ Thanks for the Picard/BRIG shout out. That character in the BRIG is "Q" played by John de Lancie. "Q" was a being so far advanced beyond humans that he would be a god to us. A BRIG obviously could not hold him. Roddenberry used Q to raise many interesting theological issues. Like me, Roddenberry was a secular humanist.
ARIANNA HUFFINGTON lived in Santa Barbara in the 1990s. At that time she was only known as the wife of Texas oil millionaire Michael HUFFINGTON. He was a moderate Republican. I was grateful that he ran for Congress and ousted someone far more objectionable to me.
But Michael came out as gay and divorced ARIANNA. ARIANNA went from being a conservative Republican to being a very visible liberal. She made her own millions creating and running the HUFFINGTON Post.
Here I photographed ARIANNA HUFFINGTON in 2003 when she was a highly paid speaker, filling the largest auditorium at UC Santa Barbara.
As for the puzzle, enjoyed the theme. Learning moment about unknown TIGER BEAT. Our music director often asks us to PICK UP the BEAT. FIR.
From Yesterday:
Lucina Regarding your heroic act for your friend with the broken wrists. Wow.
...if you like savory foods then the breading and frying make whatever is inside okay." That's the best part of state and county fairs! Where's my fried Twinkie?
Lemon
These special filters for our cat fountains aren’t something you can walk into Wal-Mart and find.
Picard at 12:53 PM, I am very impressed that you were able to identify the prisoner in the brig!
Jinx at 7:32 AM, I'm sorry I didn't highlight your CSO!
Splynter at 5:08 AM, was the guitar tab illustration really the opening to "Stairway to Heaven"? Wow! You are good.
The things I have learned since C.C. started this blog - cat fountains!?! and their filters? which brand did you chose? I see CHEWY sells and delivers them as well.
Thanks to Gary C. for a puzzle that took less time than a PICK UP game of basketball.
Thanks to NaomiZ for another fun-to-read blog! 21A. I see what you did there....
Yes it is~! The opening is finger-picked, and the "stacked" 7/6, 8/5, 2/4, 0/3 parts are thumb/finger-picked at the same time, sort of like a strummed chord (I don't want to get into the weeds), and it took me some time to get accustomed to.
Appearing in your post is honor enough!
