That did not work so then the SIX hit me with perps. OK.<br /><br />I do like OREIDA tater tots.

She knew GABLE and I got the other theme fills (my first was FOLDING DOORS - cute Jeff) She didn't know CHI & BOS were BANDs and I had brAIDS at 10d. Took to brains to get one for this fun Friday.<br /><br />Thanks for all the music links LEM. I could link SPINAL Tap to round it out, but the music is not that good (funny, but as a parody, not good).<br /><br />HBD Steve. With all the traveling, how do you have time to study how to compose a puzzle?<br /><br />Does anyone remember PARAGON of Comedy from the '80's? I barely do - my brother and I had many bits memorized, but now I can only remember "Big dogs, landing on my face..."<br /><br />MRES were yummy with the right recipe. Take the coco pack, mix with coffee creamer & sugar, add a tbs of water - pudding! Keep compressed TP for later :-)<br /><br />DW says I'm getting pudgy so I'll ride my bike <a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_Mnw9uiYggU" rel="nofollow">Saturday in the Park</a> (Chicago).<br /><br />Cheers, -TAnonymous Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00459563526290288425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-58989855006705114122014-09-13T00:19:23.608-05:002014-09-13T00:19:23.608-05:00Greetings!
