Post by: magus on September 02, 2013, 08:59:04 AM
THEME:   two-word phrases beginning with MA and PA, respectively
   
GOOD ONES:     
The Kettles {& theme}   MA-AND-PA   
Eye drop   TEAR [note singular, two words]   
   
BTW:   
That, to Teresa  ESO   
      >:( First, who's Teresa?  Teresa Wright?  If so, she's not Spanish.
      >:( Second, ESO is only a Spanish word and never used in our language to mean that.   
      >:( Third, had this column been studied as it should be by those in the Xword biz, ESO would correctly be clued by reference to the song "Eso Beso."
   
A Labor Day puzzle might include "cotton picker" and other jobs that have other meanings.  Anyway, happy Labor Day to all of us who add(ed) to the GNP.  :)
   
RATING:    ;D ;D
