THEME: last words of phrases are popular newspaper names
GOOD ONES: I liked all the theme entries especially:
Newspaper for convicts? CRIMINAL-RECORD
Newspapers for hams? RADIO-DISPATCH
Newspaper for wedding planners? HITCHING-POST
Scoot HIE [liked the contrast between old and new]
Order to a boxer SICEM [but it would be a sin to teach a sweet-natured breed to attack]
Come out of one's shell HATCH
BTW: Tyke TOT [tot connotes a little child; tyke connotes a bigger child]
Eccentric NUT-CASE [eccentric connotes a person with odd habits while a nut case suggests one whose grasp of reality is wanting]
OSA and
PNEU are foreign words not used in English. The former is a place name; the latter an abbrev.
ESTO is just plain Spanish.
RATING:
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
