Good Title: Double Overtime
Theme: phrases containing letter combination OT twice [OT = “overtime” in sports]
Good Ones:
There are two of them in {theme} OTS
Writer’s bottom line? FOOTNOTE
Stick in a scull OAR [not skull]
Flier PLANE [I thought “pilot”]
Take-out order STET
Speaker of Cooperstown TRIS [oldie but goodie]
By the Way:
Honorary legal deg. LLD [we’ve been through this last month: in some schools it is earned, so to refer to it as honorary, while correct, seems a bit insensitive]
Who knew?:
OTHO was the emperor before Galba. I would’ve sworn it was Balga, or maybe even Bagla.
Some Nits to Pick:
OTRA [aside from being purely Spanish and never used in English, half the time the answer is OTRO. You see, gender matters in Latin tongues, and…]
RATING: ;D ;D Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun

:) I thought today's puzzle was a good bit easier that recent Gorski puzzles.
