Eliminating the GR in certain phases made some interesting and humorous wordplay. I particulalrly liked:
EEKMYTHOLOGY [traditional ghost story]
ANDESDAMES [Aristocratic Machu-Pichu women]
APESOFWRATH [Angry gorillas]
AMAZINGACE [Incredible hole-in-one]
RESEARCHANT [little queen in library] {I used to feel like a little drone in some of them.}
I also got a kick out of
"Dentist Number" for OPIATE
