Title: Sat., 9/5 Vratsanos & Chen
Post by: magus on September 05, 2015, 09:59:34 AM
THEME:   none, but a bruiser of a puzzle!
   
GOOD ONES:     
Computer startup?   MINI   
Column that won't support anything   PLUME [not scientific, but it gave me pause]   
It precedes one   NOON   
Ones for the road?   ATLASES   
   
BTW:   
Words spoken con affetto   CARA [Italian (lots of Italianate words today) --- the rock song " ____ Mia Mine" is at least in English]   
   
SUSAN of The Chronicles of Narnia and ILSA of Snow Queen are answers my granddaughters and daughter would know right off: I needed the intersecting answers.   
   
"Pink Friday" rapper NICKI MINAJ is known to me because of my Italian heritage: her last name is a homonym for an expletive and makes my chuckle every time.

RATING: ;D ;D   
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
