THEME: Literature enjambed with kids' games
GOOD ONES:
Palahniuk tale of a rowdy slumber party? PILLOW FIGHT CLUB
Orwell tale of Beanie Baby breeding? STUFFED ANIMAL FARM
Stud site EAR LOBE [I thought MY STUDY]
Late notice? OBIT
Wind in a pit OBOE
Old Bologna bread LIRE [pronounced /balony/, it sounds like a stale sandwich]
One with a second DUELER [sounded like numbers to me]
Base decision maker UMP [could be The Evil One]
BTW:
Tolstoy tale of child's play THUMB WAR AND PEACE [it's thumb wrestle]
Carson tale of well-behaved classroom clock watchers SILENT SPRING FEVER [clock-watching does not mean or suggest spring fever --- perhaps "day dreamers" would be better]
These, in Juarez ESTAS [exactly!]
Parisian's "to be" ETRE [but not Londoner's]
Mastermind RING LEADER [more often he's just a jerk]
The Devil's label? PRADA [from The Devil Wears Prada --- tough but fair]
Drives the getaway car for ABETS [tired of this clue? What about "Watches out for"?]
Winter outburst? BRR [hardly an outburst --- more a mumbled interjection]
RATING: ;D ;D
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
