Title: Mon., 2/24 Melanie Miller
Post by: magus on February 24, 2014, 09:09:30 AM
THEME:   both words of phrases can be used with PARTY
   
GOOD ONES:    
Continue with the fun {& theme}   PARTY ON    
Yodler's feedback   ECHO [never thought of an echo as "feedback"]   
GI R&R provider   USO [I liked all the abbreviations and so would have preferred elimination of "provider"]   
Glum drops   TEARS   
John of London?   LOO [oldie but goodie]   
   
BTW:   
Oddity #1:  Given the word STRAPS, why use "Bra" and not, say, "shoes?"  If the word in the grid were BRA, it would be different as it must be defined, and there would be no way around the once "unmentionable."   Just a question, not a complaint.   
Alternatively,   
Oddity #2:  Given the word GAY, why choose the no longer used meaning of the term, "In high sprits," and not, say, "Proud parader?"  Just wondering and not sure I wouldn't have done the same in both #1 and #2.   
   
RATING: ;D ;D   
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
