THEME: last word of a phrase is a dog's name
GOOD ONES: One of the things little boys are made of {& theme} PUPPY DOG TAILS [never realized how gruesome this rhyme is]
BTW: Once again we get
ACER as a tennis player, not the computer company. There seem two possibilities: LAT editor does not read this space (but should), or he reads it and is making a point (but shouldn't). Consider that over the past years, the dozens of ACER entries have never been clued as the computer company --- a far better clue given that no sportswriter ever uses the term to define a tennis server. BTW, even Chris Evert with her get-me-over serve scored aces. Is it possible that constructors who read this space submit ACER as a computer and the editor changes it? And would that be more petty than my complaining about it?
RATING:
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
