A
very solvable and not-so-intimidating puzzle from one of our
getting-to-be very regular Saturday contributors, Brad Wilber. With the nice
run of "XYZ", this is also a pangram, which we haven't had in some time

Morning, all!
Well, I must have been doing a different puzzle than Splynter, because I found this one to be not particularly solvable and quite a bit intimidating.
CANTERBURY BELLS, XYZ AFFAIR and BAEDECKER were complete unknowns for me today, and that really messed things up for awhile. RUMPUS wasn't much better. I thought the Dolphins wore TEAL instead of AQUA (I guess that's the Miami Heat I'm thinking of), and thought that "takes off the shoulder" was referring to cutting hair (LOPS) or cutting the grass (MOWS).
Well, the good news is that I finally managed to guess my way through all that. The bad news is that I can't say the same about the NW corner...
I finally had to look up RON SANTO in order to finish that section. I just didn't know BAYONNE and couldn't think of BRONTES (yes, I fell into the trap of thinking characters instead of authors). Ditto for ABBR and MYOB. Once I got RON, though, it all fell quickly into place.
Ah well...
A resounding DNF today. Managed to successfully complete the South & Mideast. For 25A I sussed the BELLS, but not Canterbury. The rest of the grid was either empty or wrong.
Looking at the completed puzzle, I can honestly state my thought process for some of the clues were in a different galaxy. As an example, I had HOBOKEN instead of BAYONNE. All I had to do there was ask my DH.... she was raised on Staten ISland.
Splyntyer, nice write up and thank you for clearing up the mud.
Off to Albany tomorrow, so I'll "talk" to everyone on Monday.
First fill was 15A Hoboken, based solely on proof of RON at 4D. Knew ARMREST was correct at 1A when I thought of ABBR and TESLA. OK, BAYONNE, not Hoboken. Must study a map.
Thought 3D Initial warning MYOB was especially clever. Enjoyed 28A Takes off the shoulder = TOWS
8A PROSAIC and 33D ABROGATES aren't words I've seen often in CW puzzles.
A shout Out to my favorite judge with the reprimanding, scolding, rebuking and oft irritable disposition. What is your temperament ?
SE almost did me in, and if not for the SUB----, I would have fallen for the Legacy producer clue. Got me on Outback last time. Got the four verts at 50,51,52 and 56 easily enough, and that was a good thing. TAKE ONE followed by TREAD ON. Finally OUR TOWN. Never would have known of JOTTO or BAEDEKER, and both were filled entirely by perps. I use Fodors or the Michelin guide.
But sadly, it was due west that did me in. 5 letters. A-A-E at 32A, and A--- at 38A. I know that chameleon is RAN-O, and have XA-T- at 27D, but can not make sense of it.
Time to go read Splynter and the blogs.
TTP,
Cutest cat ever. Thanks for the Maru clip.
Well, I surprised myself by completing my second Saturday puzzle in a row (though I can't help but think my streak is at an end). And I have to confess I was stumped by the ending of OTO and RANGO but just plugged in the final vowel until I heard, quite unexpectedly, the "TaDa!" music. [14:36]
The tadas were beyond me! Lots of unknowns. I too wanted Adams for 22a. Clever cluing, but beyond me!
Enjoyed write up and loved Maru! Have a good weekend.
Good morning to my Saturday hero Splynter, C.C. et al.
I started out with ARM REST at 1A, but then went skittering down to the SE corner before I started filling much else in. But little by little I spread out to the SW , then back up to the top. I knew BRONTES, but BAYONNE needed almost every perp to fill.
I had “as yet” at 11-D, so that corner was slow to fill. I finally remembered PLUS FOURS, so LA TOSCA and PROSAIC appeared, changing it to SO FAR. My last fill was MYOB and REB. I really was looking for some hint of an ABBR in those two. But overall I thought it was a thoroughly enjoyable puzzle that ended up being a speed run for a Saturday.
TTP, I laughed all the way through that silly cat video. Maru rocks!!
Have a great day everyone.
ARGH ! APACE, APART, ARGO and XACTO. And I have an XACTO knife set! DOH ! I now see that I also did not fill the unknown crossing K at HOKUM and KEPI, so failed in the SW as well.
Thank you Brad Wilber. This puzzle was really tough in every section. Took me nearly two hours to get 97% completed. Maybe if I would have come back to it later in the day... Great write up Splynter. Did you take that picture of the KEPI topped foreign legion fighter in your house ?
I see Hondo and I both thought Hoboken, and I was in the same place as Barry with RUckUS and Teal. Plus I had cuts on the mind for takes (hair) off the shoulder. We now know what Splynter was thinking for that clue. I'm thinking he took that Kepi pic at home.
CC, Grams, and Marti, isn't Maru too funny ? No wonder there have been so many views of the youtube videos. That cat is something else.
Off to the hardware store. Have a great day everyone !
Splynter: Wonderful, informative write-up with great links.
Finally a Brad Wilber solve!
NW fell in about one sip of java.
I'm waiting for the 3-Down's clue didn't indicate that MYOB was an ABBR comment.
(Like that is an ACTUAL Crossword Construction Rule.)
RANGO, JOTTO, ICE-T (role) learned from crosswords.
Only write-overs:
AQUA from teal, Miami Dolphins color.
SNOW from scam, Bamboozle.
Husker: Knew they would win when I saw the halftime score.
(That "coming from behind game-plan" is working like a charm!)
Cheers!
I needed red-letter help for this puzzle, but far less help than usual. Thanks for the explanations, Splynter.
After a nice Thanksgiving with my daughter, I am driving home today. It will take 4-5 hours depending on stops along the way.
Have a good weekend,
Montana
Good morning, and a fine one it is.
I zipped through this one rather briskly. Hand up for thinking ADAMS before TAFT, but I still finished with plenty of time on the clock.
Splynter, thanks for 'splaining PLUSFOURS, I thought that was some sort of golf reference to more than four over par. And your Vogon poetry reminded me of another character from the Hitchhiker's Guide -- Slartibartfast (Say that three times fast!)
Tin, I'm also not sure it's a rule, but if it is, 3D conformed by cluing as "initial".
desper-otto: That was my point, exactly! (regarding "initial")
On the right-side of the Blog, under "Crossword Links" is "Crossword Rules".
There is NOT a "rule" that a "clue" yielding an ABBR answer must have an ABBR in the clue.
Yet we see that comment here, over and over and over again.
So the 3-D clue got a grin from me when solving today when I saw "initial".
Like Barry G, I had trouble all thru the first half of this. In fact it was all blank down to ALEVE except for ARMREST, RARE, ENTRYFEE, RAN, RELOS, CARAFE, ESE, SALVO and ESSEN. From there on it all fell in rather well, but wanting the word MINSTREL in 35A really screwed me up from the middle up.
At firstI thought maybe this was not a Saturday puzzle because the entire north fell 1-2-3. I started with ARMREST. Then "initial" gave away MYOB. My fifth graders were causing arguments by being butinskies, so I would say MYOB. Soon the whole class was saying "my-yob" to cut off fights at their onset. It worked.
CANTERBUIRY BELLS opened up the center. I had BUR and BELLS from perps and wagged the rest.
A snag in the SW added some long minutes to my solving time because for quite a while I had scam for bamboozled. When I finally let that go, the SW was easy.
It took some perps to correctly spell BAEDEKER. I buy the Fodor guide and go to the library to compare it to BAEDEKER.
I have parked in Hoboken and have taken the ferry from there to Manhattan to see Broadway shows. Bayonne and Staten Island are much further south.
“Faint heart never won fair maiden” was my theme on this, as Splynter said, very solvable Wilber Wonder! Some high falutin’ vocab (ABROGATE, PROSAIC) and cluing where you had to be “smarter than the average bear” made for a fun Saturday when toeholds were procured with considerable looking. Mine were on the east and then the bottom.
Musings
-Guess what my ARM REST has in it? Hint: It’s not a CARAFE
-Comedians of my generation always made fun of The Garden State
-In retrospect, a lot of “marrieds” I knew as a child should have been “exes”. Divorce was verboten then
-Cherry blossom president weighed 320 lbs and is famous for getting stuck in White House bathtub
-I’ve only had one car TOWED. Traded in that Lemon the next week.
-I had Adams (TAFT), Teal (AQUA), Trample (TREAD ON) and Hooey (HOKUM) first
-I thought mythical Bowman was TELL but I find he was a real Swiss
-ALEVE works wonders around here
-JUDGE JUDY is a fav of mine. The idiocy of some of the litigants is incredible but her excoriating of them is tempered by the fact that they get a free trip to California and all judgments paid as long as they air their dirty laundry in public and take her abuse
-RARE, SO FAR? The Huskers NOT having to come from behind this year, Tin.
-Poker World Series players have a pretty stiff ENTRY FEE
-There’ll be popsicles in Hades before I don PLUS FOURS
-My fav Australian export? KAZIE!
Being on Brad’s wave length I expected that pedestrian was not a walker but an adjective meaning common place, unimaginative. I think the word PROSAIC is so common place as to be prosaic, utterly unremarkable.
I found Brad's puzzle easier than the normal Saturday. Splynter thanks for your erudite blogging.
This has been a week of great puzzles. Brad, CC& Don, Marti, SJSJ WOW!
Addendum
-Larry Hagman died Friday and his biography I linked here makes for fascinating reading including the fact he built an 18,000 sq ft mansion on a mountaintop in one of our cwd cities of Ojai.
A major slog today, but finished unassisted.....with half the eraser gone. I felt very thankful that Console didn't even occur to me in lieu of ARMREST, cuz I would have clung to that fill far too long. Did cling to Teal, but at least realized it could be AQUA when I entered it, so that helped let go of that error of my ways. Thought of Barrel before CARAFE, but didn't pencil it in. Lots of unknowns today, but they all perped out, so I felt lucky to finish. Tough! But doable.
Tin, d-otto and YR, duh, I didn't even connect "Initial" in the clue with the letters M-Y-O-B. You are so smart!! (^0^)
Good morning:
For a Saturday, this was highly doable, with just the right amount of bite. Finished w/o help but, like others, had Adams before Taft, teal before aqua, Hoboken before Bayonne, and have one before take one.
Thanks, Brad, for a fun challenge with lots of fresh fill and thanks, Splynter, for your usual enlightening expo.
Our streak of beautiful, sunny 50+ degrees weather has ended. We are now into the true November gloomies; today's high only 38 with a low of 22. Oh well, it was great while it lasted.
HH @6:42 - Any visit to the Barnsider on your agenda?
TTP, thanks for Maru; that video shows why cats have
9 lives!
Have a great Saturday.
Good morning, folks. Thank you, Brad Wilber, for a great Saturday puzzle. Thank you, Splynter, for the excellent review.
Was able to get the puzzle this morning on my IPad in Johnsonburg. Good start for the day.
Tough start in the north so I headed South. Worked my way up.
As far as 3D, I did not look at MYOB as an abbreviation, but as Initials. I think there is a difference.
Waffled between CONSOLE and ARMREST. ARMREST won.
21D was good, OFT QUOTED.
53A took me a while. I wanted STRIP mining, but finally got OPEN PIT. I've seen plenty of strip mines in my life.
The NE corner was my tough one. PROSAIC and PLUSFOURS were tough. LA TOSCA tookmsome perps.
Anyhow I enjoyed the puzzle. A little easier than most Saturdays. That is OK with me.
I am sitting here in Johnsonburg watching the snow fall pretty heavily. I guess it is time.
See you tomorrow.
Abejo
- Hand up for TEAL before AQUA and TELL before EROS.
- Wanted HOBOKEN but waited for a few perps and got BAYONNE. Never been to NYC.
- Also had SERVE before SALVO.
- Agree that initial clued MYOB as an abbreviation.
- Agree with Yellowrocks this was easier than a normal Saturday, maybe like a Friday. Tough but doable. Lots of unknowns or unsures, but the perps took care of them and did not have to hit the g-spot at all. Northeast corner was last to fall; took some thinking about the clues.
- Thanks to Brad for an enjoyable puzzle and thanks to Splynter for an enlightening write-up!
@Abejo 10:06
Great point about initial, not abbreviation. Makes sense!
Larry Hagman, rest in peace. I join those who wish you are dreaming of Jeannie.
Didn't know XYZ AFFAIR and BAEDECKER 9had to look them up). But, after that things went slowly but surely and smoothly. I too had ADAMS before TAFT. Fun solve.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Brad! I so rarely get Saturday puzzles, but got one last week and now, thanks to you, I got today's. Well, almost. Missed the X of X-ACTOS--totally lame of me, since I've even used an xacto knife in my past, at some time or other. And mind you, it was slow going, a corner at a time, but in the end, there was that satisfying moment, when I felt I got it! Thank you, too, Splynter, for your always great Saturday write-up. And C.C. and TTP for giving us a glimpse of Maru.
We're taking our little grandson to the Arcade today to let him play his beloved games. I guess they don't call it a Penny Arcade any longer, do they? I'd better load up on quarters, or is it dollars?
Have a great weekend, everybody!
I loved the cat video TTP. This puzzle went down very slowly but like a good glass of wine was appreciated. It fell one block at a time. I had written in COAL before OPAL and GAS before IRE at 54D so that was the last section to complete. Yellowrocks, glad to see you again, had missed you for a day or so. Still eating pecan pie here at my house. RIP Mr. Hagman.
Don't TREAD on me! DNF
I got XYZAFFAIR, but realized I had memorized this in Jr. high not knowing what it was. I watched a little cartoon on YouTube to relearn. Wish we had those then (late 1950s).
Did not know CANTERBURYBELLS, BELAY. PLUSFOURS, RANGO (cute little guy), or the Vortex pencil sharpener.
Had caRTOoN before OURTOWN.
Wanted cut and cover for OPENPIT and pignola for CACAO. Evergreen? How do you know if they grow in a country that has no winter?
Some things fell in though I didn't really know them - ICET, REB and PENN.
I actually knew the colors of the Dolphins because I like the colors and the animal. Maybe if some of the other teams used bright colors and cute animals instead of black, maroon and non-PC Indians...
Don't think OTO was fair, or SSE, since there is more than one LaPaz.
@Husker - In the '60s, I had many cars towed, until my insurance cut me off. I do think cars are made better these days.
Hello, Peeps. Glad to see you, Splynter!
This was my easiest Saturday solve in a long while. Usually Brad Wilber stumps and beats me up royally. Not today.
Recognized the recipe for ADOBE and that got me started then tried JUDGE JUDY on a whim and was surprised it worked. The SW then just fell. Over to the SE and that was surprisingly easy.
Climbed up and was able to suss, WAG, and guess my way. Remembered about the XYZ AFFAIR and had enough letters to suss CANTERBURY BELLS.
Last to fall was MYOB and REB which I erased a couple of times then decided that was it.
I'm cooking the meat for tomorrow's tamales so had to work on this in between times.
Some very clever cluing which some of you have already mentioned.
Have a terrific Saturday, everyone!
I hadn't heard about Larry Hagman. Thank you for posting it. RIP, Larry, you entertained us well. Enjoy your eternal rest.
Irish Miss,
No culinary delights this time. Arrive in the early AM, leave by mid afternoon & home by 6:00 ish. Long day, hope I can stay awake for the Giants game Sunday evening.
I started in the NW thinking i must know this cupholder thingy, & living 6 years in Staten Island, I got Bayonne right away! Then Tesla appeared, & rare. So i thought 1D must be TBSP! Making cupholder some kind of "trivet" with 2 T's. Except that can't be right because 3D is obviously "halt." Which means "Bayonne" must be wrong.... AAAARRRRGGH!
So i thought i would try another section of the puzzle. Knowing the Archer of myth, i confidently put "Hood!"
Oh Well,,, looking forward to Mondays Puzzle, i bid you Goodnite!
HH @ 12:01 - You are brave to face I-90 traffic on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, or do you take a different route? My niece and her family were here for the holiday from the Cape, but they are leaving this afternoon to avoid the Sunday rush.
TEST
AAAGH! The puzzle was not even close to finished for me! I'm coughing my head off again after working up a sweat carrying groceries in a cold wind yesterday. I'll blame my foggy brain on that.
Thanks Splynter for making sense of this for me.
My Buick has a cupholder in the ARMREST. Did I get that? NOT! Funny thing, when I went to work at a Buick dealership, the cupholders were really flimsy and often broke. I told my bosses' son I wouldn't buy one until they improved it. We wrote several letters to the company. They changed. I bought.
I did get the SE corner. Proud to get BRONTE, TESLA, PLUS 4S, OFT QUOTED, AQUA, BAEDEKER, & EROS, ESSEN, TAFT. 42a had "hoot".
YR: PROSAIC not common in OUR TOWN.
Barry: Miami Heat wear red.
IMAC users, please help! The little arrows to go back and forth between pages have disappeared from the upper left corner of the desktop. What did I do to lose them and how can I bring them back? I have to go the long way around to get back to the blog whenever I watch a link. Takes forever.
They'll come back when you "Go Blue"
I read PROSAIC everywhere in the news and hear it in speeches. Perhaps it is more common in literary circles than in everyday speech.
"President Obama’s state of the union speech was eloquently PROSAIC. The rhetoric did not soar; and the speech’s force was carried by short, repeated phrases that served to tie together themes and exhortations." NYT
"Walter Mondale came to Dallas for that most PROSAIC of political events, a campaign fund-raising dinner, and he had intended to talk about a drab, unemotional subject—the problems facing small businesses."
Time Magazine
"The truth is more PROSAIC, and explains far more about Bush's evolving views, not only of faith but of government." Newsweek
I could quote dozens of examples.
Dang!
Two in a row. Crash and Burn!!
Baedeker spelling just never looked right and don't ever remember junta or jotto used before.
Splynter, now I'm confused.. What thingy is the kepi. That pic is the spitting image of my stairwell with one huge exception.
PK, to get the arrows back, "right click" your mouse anywhere in the toolbar. Then select "Customize Toolbar" from the drop-down menu. You will see the "Back/Forward" arrows. Just click on them to add to the toolbar.
My wife doesn't use a scope!
HeartRX, thank you. Mission accomplished.

Bill G,
where are you?
Bill was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was
really pissed.
She told him "Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the
driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in 6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE !!"
The next morning he got up early and left for work. When his wife woke
up, she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box
gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway.
Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, brought
the box back in the house.
She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.
Bill has been missing since Friday.
YR: Well sweetie, them'er all NY publications an' I'm a fer piece from thar! PROSAIC ain't a common word out here in the boonies. Just sayin'. LOL Really, don't matter none. I had a lurnin' 'sperience. Didn't mean to yank yer chain.
Manac: Poor Bill! Loved it!
Rats! I was hoping nobody else had noticed.
I am here watching USC try to contain Notre Dame and watching the hapless Lakers. It may be a long evening, what with those games, the scale and all.

Notre Dame better win or else Steve and I will be very unhappy. Go Irish.

I think you are on the other side of the pond, but your heart and soul is in Southern California with a Notre Dame Victory. Congrats to The Fightin' Irish.
I can't wait until Notre Dame plays Ohio State and settles the national championship.
I'd like to see Alabama play Nebraska.
