Unfortunately I was thinking PriUM, like Prius. And JimH's music entry was most welcome. And last year, there was a RexP entry on the various Diane/Dyan/Dian/Dianas. Now, once someone covers the other 463 topics I'm lousy at, I'll be ready.<BR/><BR/>Maybe it's just the Downhill Racer persona, Linda, but I think the guy on the left could possibly be boring. You were alluding to conversation, right?<BR/><BR/>I remember the KHAYYAM spelling by remembering "There are tow 'Ys' in Yam."

He's become a Republican cause now? Or am I completely misinterpreting this ... Linda you have it lower case so I'm pretty sure I just don't get the reference at all. <BR/><BR/>I had Toes And Clippers for awhile (I can laugh about it now ... ) so that screwed me up as well as User ID instead of TELNET which, to be honest, sounds like a word from the early 90s. <BR/><BR/>Loved the long answers, most of which I got. I did not understand the circles, which is usually the case. If they spell out something sequentially I may be OK, but I could see that wasn't the case here so I dropped it like a hot POTATO MASHER. <BR/><BR/>One thing I always laugh about is when an answer is supposed to be an abbr. and still has 6 letters. How abbreviated is that? But of course APPROX is definitely shorter than its full word, so it's legit. Just always strikes me as funny.<BR/><BR/>I'll never remember how to spell KHAYAAM, Linda. I've just resigned myself to that fact.wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06899889818724088564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305840857858959680.post-2731381814061376982008-03-30T07:51:00.000-06:002008-03-30T07:51:00.000-06:00Seth, don't be so hard on yourself.

I wasn't sure if we were looking for YEE or HEE on this one...so I just filled in EE until EMMYS solved the mystery.<BR/><BR/>It was interesting to make a salad by candlelight, but I don't think I'd want to do it again ; )Linda Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15816794362786044423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305840857858959680.post-32167447516926399622008-03-30T07:34:00.000-06:002008-03-30T07:34:00.000-06:00I found this week's NYTimes puzzle totally easy --...I found this week's NYTimes puzzle totally easy -- only catch being I kept answering "hee" to "haw" clue instead of "yee" as I kept thinking it's the only answer. It's happened before where being overly sure instead of open-minded kept me from the solution. I hope I'm not alone in this. <BR/><BR/>Am grateful to this blog b/c I would never have known what the circles were for, or what the theme meant. Who knew?

The day of my post, and I blew it! I mean, "deliverance" had been in a Purim clue just once, more than 7 years ago... And now that I look him up I find Haman's appeared twice in the last year, too.
