THEME: intrusive P
GOOD ONES: "White Fang," for example? WILD PROSE ["wild rose" is the phrase to which P is added --- "WILD" refers to
Call of the Wild, the companion to
White Fang]
One that keeps bumping into senators? AWKWARD PAGE [awkward age]
Trick or treat, e.g. (twice) VERB and NOUN
Nice setting MER [may need the definite article in French]
Shore thing DUNE [not "sure thing"]
W, for one DIRECTION [I thought a Bush reference]
Champagne toast? SALUT
Indicator of possession DEED [not punctuation, as I thought]
One full of hot air DRYER [not your English professor]
BTW: DH, usually
ALER [no such word is used anywhere but in Xwords]
Indicator of possession in the bathroom HERE [crappy clue: the single word is seldom if ever used in this case but is used in a million others]
Is more than a bystander AIDS [awkward: AIDS is a verb; the clue calls for a person --- the nominative. "Aider" would fit the clue.]
She, in Lisbon
ELA [but not in the English-speaking world]
RATING:
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
