January First
Village celebrity? IDIOT
Theme: Intrusive J…
“Ode on a Grecian Urn” genre? JARSPOETICA
Halloween carving of a Yankee hero? PUMPKINJETER
8) “January First” title suits the day, of course, but June and July would fit the theme as well.
???
H.S. proficiency tests GEDS [last week I had the same question: isn’t the GED the diploma, the test being the “GED test”]
Comfort food… [do I hate the term because all food is comforting, it is a New Age coinage for fattening food, or because I’m simply disagreeable?]
:(
Suffix with access ORY [really not a suffix --- merely the rest of the word from what was a suffix in Latin]
ETRE
OJOS
RATING: ;D [for a Sunday] Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = No fun
:-\ Seems that either I or the LAT is not off to a great start this year.

Chaise Longue? Shouldn't that be Lounge?

"all food is comforting" - I disagree; how about anchovies or okra? Not comforting to me in any case!

RBE:
That is a correct spelling except I can't remember seeing it spelt [spelled] that way.
WORLDOFCROSSWORDS:
I hate anchovies also, but my parents loved them; and I would imagine to someone who is hungry they would be comforting, even to us --- well, I'd have to be starving.

How is a stave a "barrel support"—wouldn't that be the part of the barrel that the hoops support? I might have clued it as "musical piece?" although that's perhaps a bit too clever.
Chaise longue comes from the French ("Long chair"), though my dictionary also lists chaise lounge as having gained acceptance, presumably through long misuse.

Not sure what's clever about stave in music (or poetry), but I do agree that the staves are essentially the barrel. Would walls be considered the house support? We'll have to consult the Miller Analogy Test constructors.
