Post by: magus on July 14, 2012, 08:56:16 AM
Possible Title: Silken Saturday

Good Ones:
Participate in a secret joint venture   ELOPE
Familiar game show address   ALEX [hard as it may be to believe, I never saw the show except for a few snippets over the years  :-[ ]
Bed threads   PAJAMAS [had the “P” and filled in “percale,” which fit]

Who knew?:
Pope John I was of the 6th Cent.  And I always thought it was the 7th.

Vietnam had a Ngo Dinh NHU or that a Japanese veggie is UDO, or that anyone would be cruel enough to cross them.  “Who Nhu?”

Justin Timberlake is [The] PRINCEOFPOP or that there was such royalty. [Let's see, there's Bing, Perry, Frank, Vic, Andy, and Justin.]

Some Nits to Pick:
ENERO

Heavy weight   ONETON [guess it’s relative: a one-ton vehicle is a lightweight --- a Blue Whale is 147 tons.  I’d go with “Auto spec.”]

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