On very rare occasions, for reasons of limited time, I might use ground beef. I don't make fish tacos but will eat them at a restaurant.<br /><br />Gary: Congratulations!

It can be either two independent limericks or one longer poem.<br /><br />I agree it should have been OR instead of AND, but convoluted crosswordical reasoning is that AVE is what needs to be added to each to match their Monopoly designations, not what they are collectively.<br /><br />I was going to complain about OON, too, since a suffix is a definable morpheme* that is affixed to a stem word, and despite their similarity I thought ball and ballOON were seperate words. But no, "-oon <br /> spelling conventional in 15c.-17c. English to add emphasis to borrowed French nouns ending in stressed -on; also used to represent Italian -one, Spanish ón; all from Latin -onem. Used in rare cases to form English words, such as spittoon, octoroon.".<br />and "balloon (n.) <br /> 1570s, "a game played with a large inflated leather ball," from Italian pallone "large ball," from palla "ball," from a Germanic source akin to Langobardic palla.<br /> Perhaps borrowed in part from French ballon (16c.), altered from Italian pallone. It also meant the ball itself (1590s), which was batted back and forth by means of large wooden paddles strapped to the forearms. Acquired modern meaning after Montgolfier brothers' flights, 1783. As a child's toy, it is attested from 1848; as "outline containing words in a comic engraving" it dates from 1844."<br /><br />* <i>Morpheme </i>is the word Wikipedia used -- I didn't know what to call it.OwenKLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16709695380239557575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-90637481205710799752015-07-14T19:17:27.621-05:002015-07-14T19:17:27.621-05:00HI all!

For me, part of the fun of solving crossword puzzles is being initially misled by cleverly deceptive clues. If a constructor uses an abbreviated word or term that has found its way into the lexicon and slips it into a clue as a stealthy way to hint at an abbreviated answer, I'm all for it.<br /><br />More than a few times I thought an answer was unfairly abbreviated and then returned to the clue and found a "limo" or "tux" hiding there in plain sight. For me, it's all about the "Aha" moments.<br />Beach Bumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14485064366107069176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-20234272274626478502015-07-14T14:34:59.731-05:002015-07-14T14:34:59.731-05:00I had league golf today at 9 a.m. and just got hom...I had league golf today at 9 a.m. and just got home.
