THEME: last words of phrases are things one may ask for
GOOD ONES:
Ignore warning {& theme} ASK-FOR-IT
Juice for Zeus NECTAR [and the less lyrical but more beautiful hummingbird]
Dash lengths ENS [of course I thought YDS]
Tiger's concern BOGEY [of course I thought feline]
BTW:
Call for a pizza, say ORDER-OUT [could it also be ORDER IN?]
Mystify ADDLE [addle means to confuse or mix-up; mystify is neither of those]
"This means war!" ITS-ON [far too vague, as it would be for "Have you made the soup?" Maybe "Answer to 'Is it on or off?'" would work.
Half an S-curve ZAG [ZAG connotes angularity not the arc required to be part of the curve]
Abutting ISIDRO and (Hosea) BALLOU seems a bit unsporting, especially since Cat Ballou is a popular western.
RATING: ;D ;D
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
