LOVE IT!<br /><br />I thought it might be my lack of practice that made this puzzle challenging. Decided it was more my RECTal glaucoma that BETRAYed me along with the lack of a PABST in my left hand. Thought of Fallflat, I mean Falstaff, as a retro beer but it didn't fit. PBR is still a favorite around here.. as is BUD, moonshine and STILLs. And Holy Hotwick!!Loved that RAW MEAT and JOCKSTRAP are here together - my Raison d'ETRE -a WEE one would be just a VALUE MEAL. I love this DAY! Thank you Donna and Marti for lifting the cloak of GLOOM from around here.<br /><br />You guys are killing me! My DD's bring 'al-men joy', well at least to those who have some finger dexterity and a lot of savoir faire. As for burning bras? Just ditch the contraptions. Why waste the match and the time? <br /><br />Dennis: "I have a headache" has NEVER been 'udder'ed from any of my lips at any time. Why waste an opportunity? <br /><br />Santa baby: I would love for you to know FIRST HAND how I feel...Do you want to come early this year?loishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03331538822790190512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-49526394181325663832012-06-07T20:59:32.373-05:002012-06-07T20:59:32.373-05:00I agree about the movie!

I've never seen a Zagnut!?<br /><br />Did this in three sittings while scrubbing off left over wallpaper paste.Not a fun job.

She has been having trouble getting a reliable signal. So far, the Time Warner techs haven't been able to the problem. A new guy, Bolivar, came by today and immediately thought of moving the modem from a lower shelf to the top of a bookcase. Everything is now working great.

Never knew that "mad men" referred to ADBIZ, thought it was a movie or something. Did not know that darn Zagnut candy bar. Now I've got to go buy one, because I love coconut. <br /><br />Nit: 5D was clued as Tour Bus Cargo. I originally had Mauna for the hawaiian mountain, which left amps, emps, imps omps or umps for possibilities. I was thinking the tourist bus that Marti showed, and so thought it was maps. Also, I was not looking for an abbreviation. Amps is short for amplifiers... so was a bit disappointed with that.<br /><br />And no... I never burned my bras.
