Title: Fri., 8/14 Jeffrey Wechsler
Post by: magus on August 14, 2015, 09:06:28 AM
THEME:   names of lizards written in an arc as if they were leaping
   
GOOD ONES:     
Classic comics catchphrase {& theme}   LEAPIN' LIZARDS   
Common sense   SMELL   
Nice word   MOT [I know, but we use bon mot in English]   
Geisha's band   OBI [the images I get of a geisha band (glam rock?) make me laugh --- the definition of incongruity]   
   
BTW:   
Pace maker?   FOOT [isn't it the leg --- "a duel at 30 paces"]   
   
That, in Madrid   ESO [but not in London --- go with "Eso Beso"]

This odd grid supports a clever theme.  (typical grid can fold into exact quadrants; this one can only be folded in half, left to right, to match)   
   
   
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
