Possible Title: Double-ING Up
Good Ones:
Pier gp. ILA
Pay stub? OLA
Switch back? EROO
Caesarean section? VENI [tough one: it’s a section of the phrase with vidi and vinci]
Literary no-show GODOT [love this one]
Theme: doubling of letters before –ing
Bit of surfing damage BOARDDING
Basketball contest champ? DUNKKING
Who knew?:
I didn’t know lots of them today: SEVE, NAS, DSL, NPRNEWS, TISH, LARGENT, ARLEEN, and KOH. (Amazingly I knew LATOYA was Janice’s sister.) I managed to do this in ink with no write-overs, due more to good puzzle construction than my skill.
Some Nits to Pick:
Like much rush hour traffic STOPGO [the idiom is really “stop and go”]
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
