THEME: "Child's Play": phrases ending in kinds of toys
GOOD ONES:
Morsel mentioned in 80's… SHRIMP-ON-THE-BARBIE [she's a doll]
Turf controller GANG [not edging or weed killer as I thought]
Show places? THIRDS [note two words, as in horse racing]
Driving instructor GOLF-PRO
Grave offender? GHOUL
Neat finish? NIK
Bugs with weapons MORAN [the gangster not the bunny or insects as I thought]
BTW:
The title was only partially true as the upper right was tough: CRACK (Figure out) and HOLES (Case weaknesses) crossed by TRURO
Like drag strips LOUD [only rarely; mostly they are silent]
As a companion ALONG [too far removed from what along means; it does not suggest companionship but rather accompaniment viz., riders on a train or guards with prisoners]
Sunday morning quaterbacking:
INNIE clued by "Navel concavity" might have been "Navel position" or "Navel type"
BOLTS clued by "Nuts go-with" might have been "Not nuts"
RATING: ;D ;D ;D
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
