Post by: magus on May 01, 2012, 08:53:00 AM
Possible Title: Happy Birthday, Mr. P!

Good Ones:
King of the ring   Don [he really didn’t get in the ring, now did he]
Theme: Mr. Potato Head and words which go well with potatoes.

By the Way:
The Blue Jays…   TOR [Generally considered the worst movie ever made, Plan Nine from Outer Space featured the worst performance of all time: by Tor Johnson.]

Average marks   CEES [in which century?]

___ Gay: WWII plane   ENOLA [wonder if “Gay plane of WWII?” would do for this oft used entry]

Who knew?:
Today was the birthday of a toy.  :D  [But I am heartened to note that the LAT features the birthdates of significant figures in Western Civilization.  That means we can look forward to themes featuring Jesus, DaVinci, Michelangelo, Shakespeare, Beethoven, Washington, Lincoln, Edison and Snoop Dogg.]

Some Nits to Pick:
COUCHBED doesn’t seem like a real word.  Sofa bed does.

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
