Title: Tue., 5/6 Pam Amick Klawitter
Post by: magus on May 06, 2014, 08:53:13 AM
THEME:   first word of a phrase suggest emptiness
   
GOOD ONES:     
Insincere talk {& theme}   EMPTY WORDS   
Opening for a chorus line   TRA [as in  tra-la-la]   
Roller with pips   DIE [a unit of dice --- pips are the dots]   
   
BTW:   
Cherub, in Chambrey   ANGE [but not in the English-speaking world]   
   
Free from bias   FAIR [It seems to me that bias, a propensity toward or against someone or something, does not preclude fairness.  Prejudice, an unreasoned bias, suggests unfairness by definition.]   

I'll bet the submitted clues for GO UP, LOTUS, SPADE, SPY, PET... were better than the pedestrian ones published.  I reiterate, cleverness and interest are not mutually exclusive from ease.
   
   
RATING:    ;D
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
