I had to laugh about the Avon lipstick samples. I also collected them--even though I was very allergic to them. I had the bee-stinged look way before it was popular because the lipstick made my lips swell.<br /><br />As for the puzzle, I wanted Anne (Shakespeare's wife) for Avon Lady. The whole north third was a wash for me except for KEN. I knew him. Finally got EFILE but had to come to JZB's great writeup to get the rest. I got the rest of the puzzle enjoyably fast.<br />-PKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-83221279673200604552011-10-26T22:12:07.225-05:002011-10-26T22:12:07.225-05:00wonderful write up Jzbumpa!Great minds think alike...wonderful write up Jzbumpa!Great minds think alike...soot.<br /><br />fun limericks all...<br /><br />Lemonade, enchanted by your theme music.LOL<br /><br />Did xwd in bits and pieces today,but never settled into a rhythm.

Loved the info., the humor and the limerick. :-) Still checking out all the links ... great stuff.<br /><br />I really enjoyed the puzzle but made it more difficult than it needed to be. Silly mistakes ... Alia for ALII and I couldn't give up 'Chopper' for COPTER even though it didn't fit. Ah well, it all worked out in the end. Loved the misdirection, esp. the clues for MAP and BRIT. I thanked 'Laugh-In' for helping me remember FUNK & Wagnalls! <br /><br />EddyB ~~ On "Unforgettable' ~~ Carrie's mom seemed to know that man in the picture!

It just makes your heart hurt! Turn it up really loud and pay particular attention to the acoustic fret work.

I may as well be self-indulgent and link mostly for myself, but feel free to "click". For my favorite song it's a toss up between <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzNo7Ol4zTA" rel="nofollow">Here Come Those Tears Again</a> (heck, who doesn't want to jump up and dance around their computer?) and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtuvXrTz8DY" rel="nofollow">The Load Out/Stay</a>.....unless it is the near perfect <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhp96VWLEqA" rel="nofollow">The Pretender</a>.
