Title: Thu., 3/27 Pancho Harrison
Post by: magus on March 27, 2014, 09:17:02 AM
THEME:   phrases containing EDEN, but not as its own word
   
GOOD ONES:    
Classic children's novel {& theme}   THE SECRET GARDEN   
Mad man?   ALFRED E. NEUMAN   
Auction ending?   EER   
Helpful tip for a puzzle solver?   ERASER [tip of the pencil]   
Leaves in a bag   TEA   [not the verb]
   
BTW:   
"ANON, the dreadful thunder…" from Hamlet is right up there with "What, ho!" as a memorable quotation.   
   
Kubrick's out-of control computer   HAL [if you wanted to use The Bard, "Shakespearean prince" would have served]   
   
"Hold your horses, I'm coming"   IN A SEC [the clue indicates impatience; the answer means and suggests only soon]   
   
"Rockin' Robin" chorus word   TWEET [embarrassed to say that I knew that, but I had successfully blocked it from memory till now]    
   
   
RATING:    ;D ;D
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
