Title: LAT Sun. 10/14 Amy Johnson
Post by: magus on October 14, 2012, 09:30:05 AM
Theme:  UP added to phrases yielding different meanings

Good Ones:
View from Transamerica Tower?   BALTIMORESUNUP
Half of XOXO   HUGS
Grim guy?   REAPER
Following words   ISEE
Notre Dame recess   APSE

By the Way:
Big name in scat   ELLA [she had such a beautiful voice and sang so many beautiful songs it’s sad to think she is remembered in Xwords only as a scat vocalist; and besides Luis Armstrong, were there any others?]

Some Nits to Pick:
One-liner from the pulpit?   UPSTANDINGJOKE [this theme entry doesn’t work for me since “pulpit” and “upstanding” don’t seem related]

RATING:  ;D ;D  Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
