Huh, you don't remember the short little guy (looked like a pill bug standing on its back legs) with a voice like Mork threatening Bugs Bunny with a big zapper gun? Curious. <BR/><BR/>ps I hope Mr. Dooley does ok with the fireworks tonight. My poor old dog seems to be developing a phobia to them (and thunder) as he ages.... he's 11 years old now.<BR/><BR/>Take care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305840857858959680.post-43123279155897623702007-07-04T10:25:00.000-06:002007-07-04T10:25:00.000-06:00I don't remember Marvin the Martian, but that was ...I don't remember Marvin the Martian, but that was a great tie-in for all the NE answers.<BR/><BR/>Can't believe that I forgot to mention LOVE -- glad you did : )Linda Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15816794362786044423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305840857858959680.post-606686592065011342007-07-04T09:19:00.000-06:002007-07-04T09:19:00.000-06:00Hi Linda, my favorite clue of the day was *all you...Hi Linda, my favorite clue of the day was *all you need* in a Beatles song!<BR/><BR/>Seems like I am in the minority in really liking this puzzle. To me it was fun and just a little bit tricky (not annoyingly so) maybe because words like STEROL and HIATAL are known to me, being a science nerd. Maybe because I decided not to shade in the stripes, because they bugged me. I liked seeing DIRTY HARRY, EVEL Knievel and Captain NEMO all stacked up.
