Whats next, the Hello Kitty Bowl?
when he is ranting about the names of the bowl games My 40 years of doing crosswords came in handy with abbreviations. IDENT and THORO may not have been standard but I’ve seen them before. Almost anything goes when it comes to abbrevs and I learned that lesson the hard way over the years. And my older brother rode “to the beachs” on an LST. He was part of the second wave at Normandy. I was able to build NATES by way of crosses and I knew LENA, God knows how, so that SE corner was not a problem at all for me. I knew how to spell BOYZIIMEN from my daughter’s record collection and my husband owns a lot of Stan Getz and I remember Dion and the Belmonts from my schoolgirl days. I guess I’m the perfect age for today’s music clues and, to coin a phrase, I went through this puzzle like a warm knife through butter. A perfect start to the new year!
