THEME:
34 blocks, more than usual for a themeless Saturday
GOOD ONES: Love letters? XOXO
Slaughter with a bat ENOS [he was a baseball player]
Treadmill settings GYMS [and I thought a dial on the machine --- one of which I have never actually seen]
BTW: Single
ELIM [I need to see it to believe it.]
Way to spread the green
SEEDAGE [ditto]
Old in Oldenburg
ALTE [good clue; too bad the answer is not in English]
Miercoles, por ejemplo DIA [I appreciate the entire clue is in Spanish, but we just don't use any other word for Wednesday, ever.]
Where fliers walk AISLE [I guess its airplane passengers]
Re:
Timon of Athens quote HAP [one of the 37 I never read, but what about that line is memorable? ("Alas!" or "Zounds!" seem its equal.) Thomas Hardy did, however, write a good poem called "Hap."
I was happy to see references to traditional culture as well as "TRICKED-OUT in "'Bling'."
RATING:
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
