Title: LAT Fri. 6/8 Peter Koetters
Post by: magus on June 08, 2012, 08:48:45 AM
Possible Title: “Don’t Ax Me!”

Good Ones:
Set-designing initials?   RCA [TV (sets)]
Wind among the reeds   OBOE
Olive with hardly any fat   OYL
Theme: AX inserted in phrases yielding new phrases
Sitcom about a Dresden family raised by a single parent?   MYTHREESAXONS
Make piece {and theme}   BURYTHEHATCHET

By the Way:
Digs, so to speak   ABODE [I like a clue in slang for a more formal meaning of the word --- two different worlds.]

Who knew?:
ESSEX was a county and Newark was in it [I did, but I lived two counties away.]
I suspect as few people know that ESSEX was an oldies rock group with one hit.

Some Nits to Pick:
Cheerful, in Chihuahua   ALEGRO [but not in the U.S.]

Those, in Badajoz   ESOS [at least it rhymes]

 “Check it out, Jose!”   MIRA [what’s wrong with “Academy Award winner Sorvino”]

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
