Post by: magus on July 14, 2013, 09:57:00 AM
THEME:   phrases beginning and ending in state abbreviations: clever title
   
GOOD ONES:    
Way off the highway   RAMP   
Make bread from chips?   CASH-IN   
   
BTW:   
"Horton Hears a Who!" villain   VLAD [good clue for kids; I'd prefer "Famous Impaler"]   
   
Learned   WISE [if only that were so]   
   
Crossword gimme's (which I don't):   
Thing to mind on trains   THE-GAP [only when the is part of a well-used phrase is it acceptible in Xwords;  the clue would better be "Abercombie competitor"]   
Una y OTRA vez is a Spanish idiom never used in English so why does it appear here?     
   
RATING: ;D ;D   
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
