Possible Title: “Don’t Ax Me!”
Good Ones:
Set-designing initials? RCA [TV (sets)]
Wind among the reeds OBOE
Olive with hardly any fat OYL
Theme: AX inserted in phrases yielding new phrases
Sitcom about a Dresden family raised by a single parent? MYTHREESAXONS
Make piece {and theme} BURYTHEHATCHET
By the Way:
Digs, so to speak ABODE [I like a clue in slang for a more formal meaning of the word --- two different worlds.]
Who knew?:
ESSEX was a county and Newark was in it [I did, but I lived two counties away.]
I suspect as few people know that ESSEX was an oldies rock group with one hit.
Some Nits to Pick:
Cheerful, in Chihuahua ALEGRO [but not in the U.S.]
Those, in Badajoz ESOS [at least it rhymes]
“Check it out, Jose!” MIRA [what’s wrong with “Academy Award winner Sorvino”]
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
