Dumb as a box of rocks. Do I stop on a red light or is it the green one? What do the stripes on the street mean?Burl is messing with her (little) mind and Jerry is loving it!I knew a guy who used to work the Sunday NYT crossword in pen. Took him all week during lunch.
She has to use pencil, that way she has an excuse to not finish it. It’ll have too many holes from all the erasing she’ll be doing because HOHO and Dingdong are not all the answers..I do mine in pencil also because I’m not good enough for the pen.. But not a lot of holes in mine.
I don’t do regular crossword puzzles that often, but I like to do the Sunday Quote-acrostic. But I’ll admit, I semi-cheat on that. I’m more interested in just getting the quote entered in, so what I do is make a word bank by writing all the answers in a random order (I draw letters from A-Z and write them in whatever order they come). I also write how many letters are in the answer on the puzzle and also in my list. Then I complete the clues and transfer to the puzzle. To make it fun, I write my answers in four different colors. I like to see how the color pattern comes out when I transfer the letters into the quote.
MeGoNow said, less than a minute agoI’m not worried about Verla passing. The state learned years ago that they had two choices – spend millions to saturate Crustwood in public buses – or given them a test they can pass. It sounds dangerous, but their logic was that Crustwoodians rarely can find their way out of town, so other communities are relatively safe. So, examples of Verla’s test questions include:.1 – When you push on the little peddle on the right, the wheelsa. go round and round.b. go up and down.c. fall off. .2 – When following, the proper distance to be left between your car and the car in front isa. three car lengths.b. close enough to read the other car’s bumper stickers.c. far enough back to steer into oncoming traffic if the carin front brakes. .3 – Your left arm extended from the driver’s side window and pointing upward tells following driversa. your fingernail polish isn’t quite dry.b. you will give them the finger if they don’t stop honkingwhen you slow to 5mph as you pass yard sales.c. you just completed a sudden right turn.Answer Key:1 – a or b2 – a, b, or c3 – a or cPassing score is 25. Unanswered questions count 1/2 credit.
Merl Reagle the “Sunday Crossword” king died Aug. 22. I loved doing his Sunday puzzles. I don’t know what I’ll have to look forward to on Sunday now. I did them on the computer, so neither pencil, nor pen. RIP, Merle.
