THEME: last words of phrases begin with a word that can follow A-
GOOD ONES: In the future {& theme} AHEAD [the initial A "heads" the theme word]
Angler's equipment FISHING ROD [placing A- before ROD yields A-ROD, the ball player]
Hot wings did him in ICARUS [maybe my favorite clue of the year; mythological Icarus flew too close to the sun and his wings melted]
BTW: Run-down urban buildings TENEMENTS [they don't have to be run-down, just in the poor part of town; the one I grew up in was new when in 1950 we moved in, near the City sewage treatment plant.]
Zippo filler BUTANE [a few are, but the ones you see in movies use lighter fluid, not gas]
RATING:
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
