Happy Monday, everyone!
Today's theme:
This is what the store clerk usually replies if you say you are JUST BROWSING. <BTW, this meme features Jack Black in Nacho Libre (2006).> |
20 Across. "I'd like something that won't rust, something ... ": CHROME PLATED.
link to a 5:49 min. video I watched several videos and read many articles (so you wouldn't have to.) |
31 Across. "I'd like a lawn mower and maybe some ... ": EDGE TOOLS.
57 Across. "Only window shopping," and what one might say when using the starts of 20-, 31-, and 46-Across: JUST BROWSING.
Jay and the editors did a good job of navigating the difference between entering a store and asking a salesperson for a specific item verses JUST BROWSING by peppering the three themed clues with nonspecific words, i.e., something, maybe some, and such as. These words add an air of indecision.

The plus sign in the middle is interesting. I wonder what OMK would have had to say about that.... |

That's all. Now I'm out ... like a lamb. 🐑
Have a great week, everyone!

PROPBET x TBIRD was an odd fill choice IMO, PROPHET x THIRD looks a lot more... natural?
FIR, but draw->PLAN.
They really inflate the value of those trip giveaways on game shows. A careful planner can usually get the same trip for less than the income tax the "winner" has to pay on the prize.
Yesterday we had :as seen ON TV," and today we get DON"T DELAY!" Somewhere Billy Mays is smiling down on the LA Times.
In his song Bank of Bad Habits, the late Jimmy Buffett declared that the eighth deadly sin is pizza!
Drivers of older cars in the Northeast can attest that CHROME does, in fact, rust.
Here's an old 60 Minutes Salvadore Daliinterview of by Mike Wallace. It starts "I'm Mike Wallace; the cigarette is Parliament."
Thanks to jay for the fun start to the work week, and to sumdaze for another fun review.
Good morning!
And another month is gone. Poof. Is there a difference between a SAFARI HAT and a pith helmet for those who don't LISP? I'm sitting here listening to Morning Edition as I write this. My Firefox browser got short shrift in Jay's offering. Thanx for a fun tour, sumdaze.
Maybe not as easy as
Monday puzzles usually are, with such answers as “comic sans.” Also, I had no idea what would tie all the themed answers together until I got to the reveal. Anyway, FIR, so I’m happy.
Took 5:19 today for me to surf my way through this one.
I didn't sense the theme at all while solving.
Seemed tougher than a usual Monday, which is a good thing.
"Edge tools" seems like an odd term. "Edgers" is what I've heard.
I passed today's Spanish lessons.
The Penny Dell crossword today has "up, in baseball" for AT BAT. As Tom Jones sang, it's not unusual.
Fair Monday. Don’t know EDGE but certainly BROWS with Chrome and stms Safari. Can someone ‘splain’ the difference between a search engine and a BROWSer?
Tiny Hooter!!! Oh. OWLET right 🤭
2025: getting more ODD by the day.
stew or MOUE.
Agree with Anon 3:34AM (early bird!!) that propHet should have crossed tHird …its only its only Monday.
METRIC : Our Puerto Rican seaside stay ends tomorrow …. “OMG” my DW shouted when we first arrived. “Look the gas costs 78 cents here”. I did quick math in my head. Has to be per liter, multiply that by roughly 4 liters to the gal = $312/gal. Apparently all other measurements are English system.
SANCHO “Panza” reminds me of The Cisco Kid “Oh Cisco, Oh PONCHO hahaha” … thought EL NIÑO was a weather pattern not a current. Learned sumthin’…. “singing bug”? 🎤 Oh “stinging! only.
“Somethings off”, if a bakery lacks ___ loaf of bread…. AWRY
“Sulking” steer sound … MOUE
Rather than use a “sense of diplomacy” the national leader a ___ the foreign representative … TACT
“Mustachioed modernist” on his way out the door. ____ partin’ …. DALI.
One last day of fun in the sun and a tour of Old San Juan 🏖️then back to 50s and remnants melting snow
Good Morning:
This was sort of an odd Monday offering with entries such as, Comic Sans and Prop Bet, both unknown, and Terry, if you’re ignorant of Monty Python members, but perps were fair, so no foul. The theme was well-hidden, leading to a surprise reveal, but I suppose more savvy tech-minded people would have seen the browser connection immediately. Edge Tools doesn’t seem correct vs Edging or Edger, nor does the plural Ilks Only one w/o with Pout before Mope.
Thanks, Jay, and thanks, sumdaze, for a fun and fact-filled review. I enjoyed all of the photos and illustrations, especially the one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Most of all, I enjoyed your signature style of amusing wordplay.
Have a great day.
FIR. For a Monday puzzle there were a few trip wires one does not expect. Prop bet is certainly one of them. And the unfair crossing of two proper names, Anna and Donna, seems wrong. Also there was a plethora of Spanish words not to mention the "Don Quixote" reference.
But beyond that there were enough perps to make this doable. And the theme was clever in and of itself.
But overall, this was not a really fun puzzle.
Ray, I used to get confused when we stopped at a gas station in Thailand trying to do the math conversion from litres but realized it didn't matter as we were using BAHT to pay which would take a second conversion from Baht to Dollar. 34 to 1 today, down from 37 to 1 last March.
Anna Quindlen divorced her husband after 43 years of marriage, hmm.
SUM. how would you depict that Coretta King was born Coretta Scott other than the clue used? Binary code digit: ONE. ?
I only know Binary Code as 0 or 1, though I know two or six or ten fit. PARITY is an interesting word to express the consistency of clue and answer. I like it. Thanks Jay for the puzzle and the hidden reference to JASON with the ARGO fill, and Sumdaze for your write-up.
Crossword Compiler is a program that helps constructors fill out their grid with answers. It is known to spit out many short vowel-rich words and abbreviations that have become LAT stale staples. We haven't seen too many of these staples recently, but today they came back in force. Before we could become settled in, we were immediately assaulted by ALE, EPEE, ALOE, and NEE. Following soon were old regulars like IRA, EMU, OLE, and EYRE. Wait a minute--no ACAI or OREO?!
Speaking of software programs, the theme was mildly interesting, featuring three of the top browsers.
Thanks, Jay, for your efforts today. And thanks, sumdaze for an entertaining and helpful recap.
Ray-o- to make gas price comparison even harder, Canadian gas price conversion before metric had to take into account Imperial vs US gallons, plus the Canadian dollar value vs US dollar. Our gas was $1.50/L yesterday
Marvellous Monday. Thanks for the fun, Jay and sumdaze.
Just a little crunch for a Monday, but I FIRed in good time, and smiled when the reveal gave me the BROWSER theme Clever.
Any unknown names perped. ANNA crossing DONNA was an easy WAG for the N’s.
I waited for NOD to decide between the masculine of feminine NINO or NINa.
This Canadian remembered DELANO with just the D, but LAREDO required a few more perps.
Thanks for the info on AMC, sumdaze.
A friend runs Ironman races, and competed in the 2022 World Championship race in Hawaii. Gruelling racing, but he loves it.
I have a SAFARI HAT from a trip to Kenya. Wonderful memories.
Sadly, Canadians have learned that a 52D contract seems to have no validity anymore. 33A seems to be missing also.
Wishing you all a great day.
I liked the theme. This was a tad crunchy for a Monday, but perps made it easy. 24A had to be T BIRD. THIRD made no sense and neither did PROPHET, so I accepted PROP BET, tipped off by a wager is a bet.
Edge tool is not the name of the tool, but it is a description. As a clerk, if a customer asked me to see lawn mowers and edge tools, I would understand.
I have no nit with NEE used this way.
TERRY and RAFA were perped, as was COMIC SANS.
DONNA and ANNA made an easy Natick. With perps for all the other letters, the crossing letter had to be N.
That eye lid art is a turn off for me.
"As I walked down the streets of Laredo" is singing in my head.
Thanks, Jay and sumdaze for the fun outing.
A bit of crunch for a Monday: 12 minutes to FIR. 17 names, 6 DNKs among them. I knew 1A but not 1D, which took perps. I did like the design of the grid, and did get the theme before the reveal, which I rarely do. Overall, a fun CW, thanx, JS. Nice write-up, thanx Sumdaze.
FIR in due time. I enjoyed the theme, clever. Weird coincidence: I had never heard of COMIC SANS until last night where it was used in á novel I’m reading, and this morning it shows up in the puzzle. I expect tomorrow to run across it again.
This CW was slightly crunchy for á Monday, but perps took care of the unknowns like PROP BET.
Thank you sumdaze for á nice recap.
The "Downs" were much easier than the "Acrosses" for me today, which is rare. The puzzle was not difficult, but was a little bit spicy for a Monday.
16A "thought out loud" brings to mind two of my least favorite common phrases.
"I'm just thinking out loud." No, you're speaking.
"I was thinking in my mind..." Um, where else would you be thinking?
Do CW puzzle constructors do this, I wonder:
elucubrate
[ ih-loo-kyoo-breyt ] verb
to produce (something) by long and intensive effort.
Yes, I have an edger for edging the grass along the driveway...but no EDGE TOOLS.
I'm probably asking the wrong crowd here, (maybe TTP or Anon-T can enlighten) but in order to bring you the silliest in theme links, I will search many different ways of wording a theme in order to find something suitable. I always wonder if adding punctuation to a browser search request will affect the results. Like commas, $,&,#,@, etc... the problem is, how do you ask your browser to respond with this information? IS THERE A LIST ANYWHERE that lists all these shortcuts? And what they do? (I cannot find it...). (Worse yet, I dunno how to ask for it...)
Anywho, one of the worst responses I always dread to fix any problem is clear your browser history. it always causes more problems...
"Are you being served?" (a BBC classic!) "Just looking," I'd normally say.
The T-BIRD hasn't been a Vette alternative since the 50s.
Musings
-The connection between the cluing, fill and reveal was very satisfying.
-I don’t use anything but SAFARI and so the gimmick took me awhile
-Wal Mart had a huge display of ALOE Vera plants yesterday. I recognized them from the recurring cartoons we see here. :-)
-TACT according to Churchill
-We were frequent AMC visitors until there was nothing to go see
-A fascinating and funny article about age, gender and marital status that the word MAAM implies.
-I used METRIC units in all 50+ years in my science classroom but still “think” feet, pounds, etc.
-Another PROP BET is the over/under for time to sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl
-COMIC SANS was my Power Point font of choice
-AT BAT – You can’t get a hit if you don’t step up to the plate and take a swing (YOLO?)
-Sumdaze, I’m at least imagining dancing to that infectious beat!!
Loved the puzzle, loved the blog post. Sumdaze, thanks for the visual of the very helpful Jack Black!
Ray-O asked about the difference between a search engine and a browser. Where are all the techie responses? I'll wade into it and just say that browser software gives a user access to the world wide web, and that search engine software gives a user tools to search through the vast sea of websites. My preferred browser is Chrome, and my preferred search engine is Google.
Got 'er done, but a touch tougher than the usual Monday offering. No harm, no foul, though, thanks to fair perps. Never saw the browsers 'til the recap...thanks sumdaze!
This was a fun puzzle requiring more thought and less “fill in the blanks” than is usually seen in a Monday puzzle. Names, SAM, ANNA, DONNA. SANCHO, and OSCAR are all well known. PROP—- and EDGE—- a little dicey but forgivable.. Thank you JS and enjoyable review sumdaze—mop - MOPE, funny!
Nice to see NPR in the puzzle and Sheryl Crow in the review together. You might want to see the connection between the two in the news this month. Bravo, Sheryl!
Also interesting to see the answer LIED TO, and also malign clued in this puzzle.
DONNA’s “Hot Stuff” was the opinion about the T-BIRD when it came out. Conversations about “Vette, vette, or .’vette ?” Chevrolet uses Vette. I own 2 but don’t drive, alas.
Happy day, all!
LEM@8:44. Thank you for asking. I didn't want to harp on it in my blog because, at the end of the day, it was obvious the answer was NEE. I agree with you that "nee Scott" is correct but she was never "Coretta King" so the natural way to write it would be "Coretta Scott King, nee Scott". Perhaps the clue writer was trying to shave a few letters for publication. Sometimes we want something to work but it just doesn't quite fit. That's why I said it felt "forced". YMMV
= )
Also, I totally messed up with the TWO. Good catch! I don't know what I was thinking! Ugh!!! (It had been a loooong week.)
Monkey@10:14. Isn't it interesting how things come in 3s ? I notice that, too.
Thanks to Jay for a Monday FIR and thanks to sumdaze for the sparkly review. If I'd had my way I would have added another themer: OPERA GLASSES. 😊
Some FAVS:
36A SKA. Crosswordese that I've seen a lot, but never really listened to. Nice tutorial.
37A LAREDO. This bling would have worked too.
56A DALÍ. IMHO the greatest artist of the 20th century.
If you're ever in St. Petersburg, FLA you definitely don't want to miss this museum
66A TANS. My dermatologist tells me I can soak up all the the sun I want as long as I slather on lots of sun screen!
67A ONE. I think someone beat me too it, but the other binary code digit is actually ZERO, which didn't fit.
3D. METRIC. Favorite bling!
41D REEDS. This bassoon passage is the Wolf's theme in Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf.
Cheers,
Bill
Thanks
I just click on the “Google Chrome” app. I’m assuming is a combination of both.
Hmmmm. I thought I had posted a comment but it has disappeared! Anyway, a bit crunchy for a Monday, 17 names of which I DNK 6. Knew 1A but not 1D, needed perps. FIR in 12. I liked the grid design, and got the theme early, which helped. Thanx JS for the fun. Thanx too to Sumdaze for the terrific write-up. All your time and effort is appreciated.
My two cents. Many women use their maiden name as a middle name when they marry. MLK’s wife’s name was Coretta Mary King, née Scott would make sense but she uses her maiden name as a middle name already so née seems redundant.
Fun Monday puzzle, many thanks, Jay. And I always enjoy your commentary, Sumdaze, along with your pictures. The one of DALI was especially delightful.
Nice to have this puzzle start with those cheerful ALOHAS giving us a bit of international spirit right at the beginning. Then we soon got an OLE-- maybe from that SENORA in LAREDO, deserving a lot of YESES from us. Let's just hope we won't get struck by that EL NINO on our RADAR today. At least we'll have some ALE and GIN to calm us down.
Have a great week coming up, everybody.
I blame Barbara Boxer for starting the outrage from being called "ma'am." In this link, she scolds General Michale Walsh, who has spent a career being taught that "sir" and "ma'am" are proper forms of respect for a superior, for calling her "ma'am" instead of "Senator." I thought we were supposed to be against bullying.
Hola! WEES. You all have noted about all there is to say about this puzzle. It was just a tiny bit crunchy for Monday but that's okay. I needed a jolt to awaken me. I will just add that I enjoyed all the Spanish but I see that not everyone did and it's understandable. They should be familiar words as we've seen them before in previous puzzles. What stumps me is French but CW puzzles teach me and I appreciate it.
Have a wonderful day, everyone!
I enjoyed solving this puzzle and reading all your comments.
I guess YESES can also be spelled yesses.
I immediately thought of that "Peter and the Wolf" music, as well as the grandfather theme, at the mention of the bassoon. Interestingly, the beginning of "The Rite of Spring" is a bassoon, playing some the highest notes in its range.
I agree IMPUGN is a great word!
Good wishes to you all.
Vowel heavy, good word for a Saturday grid 😂
I am so pleased you contributed today, because I wanted to let you and Teri know how much I have appreciated all of the insightful, informative reviews you have written. I always looked forward to the musical offerings. Wishing you good health.
Thank you ParSan!
Husker @19:38 AM Metric calculations are essential in glaze calculation and formulation, but clay is sold in 50 lb boxes, so I use pounds to weigh it out for wheel work.
Meant IF MLK’s wife’s name was…
Yes, Jayce, I agree: IMPUGN is a great word...which I initially wrote in as IMPUNE, then looked at, slapped my forehead and did a W/O to IMPUGN. Oy.
