Title: LAT Wed. 1/18 Jeff Stillman
Post by: magus on January 18, 2012, 09:26:36 AM

Is There an Echo in Here?

 :)
Low in a lea   MOO [low means position & sound]
Traffic stopper   SIREN [a beauty (siren) can do the same]
Driven drove   HERD
Theme:  common redundancies

 ;) Houston-to-Tampa direction   EAST [finally a direction I knew right off instead of the usual Lewisville-to-Mount Airy arcana]
 :D Detective Peter of old TV   GUNN [thanks, Jeff, for the memory --- used to “dig it”]

Who knew?
OSTEND is a seaport and SNOG means to neck, and who knows why they are crossed?  >:(

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

If you had read the Harry Potter series you'd know what snog means!

I no longer read children's books, but thanks for pointing out the reference.

I'm 59 years old and I read the entire series. Thoroughly enjoyed them, too. Open up a little bit, magus!
By the way, I enjoy reading your comments every day.
