And look at that… ELM is in the grid which is a Tree! And RED LABEL kinda works with Color, right? OSCAR is an entry in the puzzle! That goes with Film… in a sense… from the clue mentioned in the meta note! Erm… how ’bout Band? GEMs are Banded perhaps? Or a LEI is a Band of sorts? That’s it. Anyone else notice the Singer right next to CHRISTINA AGUILERA? ALTO! Seems like a very Birnholzian direction to go in when it comes to metas. Then I had a phony AHA moment when I isolated the first words of each of the clues: Band, Coin, Beer, Tree, Singer, Color, and Wine. But I did learn a lot about Vermeer’s penchant for exotic and expensive paints that left his family in debt, and I’m currently listening to the very pleasant second album of BELLE AND SEBASTIAN, If You’re Feeling Sinister. Never heard of this group. Was CHRISTINA AGUILERA‘s first Grammy for Beautiful? Was CORNFLOWER BLUE the first color Vermeer used in a painting? Was If You’re Feeling Sinister BELLE AND SEBASTIAN‘s first album? No. It’s clear as a bell now, but I was having a little too much difficulty interpreting the clue when I initially read it, and I was too eager to go down rabbit holes. There’s a curious little clue in the SE corner of the puzzle that is kind enough to nudge the solver in the right direction, however.

The note for this one says “Film starring Richard Gere” is the clue for a movie that has the same pattern as the stared answers. That also serves as what I didn’t know before I did this puzzle because I have to run!Įvan Birnholz’s Washington Post crossword, “Holding Pattern” – Jim Q’s Write-up Isn’t the price in the listing the list price? Los Angeles Times, March 7, 2021, Paul Coulter, “Outer Limits,” solution grid The circles in each theme answer spell a word that follows “outer.” The theme answers themselves are clued straight. I had no idea what was going on with this theme and was about to pop a grid up here and let you tell me. Paul Coulter’s LA Times crossword, “Outer Limits” – Jenni’s write-up Four long years of depressingly inapt EPA clues, we had!
It’s nice to have the EPA in the hands of an administration that doesn’t seek primarily to defend polluters. More of a General Mills (Cheerios!) and Kellogg person. Alpha-Bits is the only Post cereal I like. The clue pretends to be about filmmaking, but instead, it’s breakfast. The comedian Kev on Stage has a solid take on bras. Not keen on bits like PETER I, WRIEST, STN, and MT IDA, but they were the exceptions in a smoothly filled grid.

A pleasure to unravel the various theme answers and make sense out of it all.įave fill: BEA ARTHUR, OATMEAL, SNEAK PEEK, BLEARY, the ENTERTAIN-INVITEE series that reminds us of pre- and post-pandemic possibilities, DEAR SANTA, ZESTERS (you ever use your zester to get spreadable curls of cold, hard butter?), “I CAN’T GO ON,” VINE-RIPEN (mmm, summer tomato season is just a few months off), THE WIZ. I think configuration could go either way, but the judge’s judgment is more of a thing than “you are out of shape.” At first, I thought this might be the very rude YOU ARE OUT OF SHAPE. The first themer that doesn’t play with a plural of the same letter, and the rest follow suit. It could be a wise (Y’s) investment if you’re renting space on the yacht, as opposed to earning no money from a pleasure craft.
