THEME: Letter C removed from phrase yields an odd phrase
GOOD ONES:
Title: "Now You See It" [See is a homonym of C, and the rest of the familiar expression is "now you don't" as in the missing C]
Knight's comment when he was mistakenly put in a corner? I'M NOT A ROOK [echoing Richard Nixon]
North African hops drier? BARBARY OAST
John and Peter's woodwind? APOSTLE'S REED ["The Apostle's Creed" is a prayer]
Citrus high? ORANGE RUSH
Sun. delivery SER [not the newspaper]
Waffle enter? EFS [a way to spell the letter F is EF]
Immortal first baseman WHO [from the comedy routine "Who's on First"]
BTW:
King of the sea? LEAR SAILING [shouldn't the clue be "King on the sea"? LEAR SAILING says what the king is doing]
Alternative to fries TOTS [I guess this refers to Tater Tots which I believe are frozen fried potatoes that are reheated in an oven --- so not much of an alternative on my plate]
Like an ideal negotiation NO LOSE [not an ideal entry since such negotiations are termed "win-win"]
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
