THEME: none, but only 26 blocks!
GOOD ONES:
Bass output ALES [first I thought low notes even though I enjoy 3 or 4 stouts a week]
Some property safeguards PRENUPS [I thought dogs, but I'm old]
Unpopular spots ZITS [I was sure it was "pits"]
Francs and beans? MONIES
BTW:
Heard of fuzzy math, but a fuzz guitar? And I liked the Ventures' "Walk, Don't Run."
RATING: ;D ;D
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
