Fri., 6/27 Marti DuGuay-Carpenter

[magus]

THEME:   N removed from a phrases makes a new phrase
   
GOOD ONES:     
Totally amazed {& theme}   BLOWN AWAY ["BLOW N AWAY" and I am "totally amazed" by its cleverness!]   
Woodsman's job?   LOG DIVISION ["long division"]   
Tabloids?  LIE PRINTERS ["line printers"]   
Stock answers?   MOOS   
Broadway opening   ACT I   
Growing field, Abbr.?   AGR   
Round perch   STOOL [I thought birds]   
Popeyes rival   KFC [I thought the cartoon, but I failed to notice lack of apostrophe]   
   
BTW:   
Ma and pa's retirement dream?   LIVING OFF THE LAD [I'd say nightmare; who dreams of burdening one's child?]   
   
Logan of CBS   LARA [I hope she gets her job back; her British accent is refreshing on the New Yorkish 60 Minutes]   
   
Heist unit   ONE G [needs "at times"]   
   
Repeatedly, quaintly   OFT [if a quote were needed to offest the silly ALAS quote from a play no one has ever read, I'd go with Pope's definition of true wit: "What OFT was thought but ne'er so well expressed"]   
   
   
RATING:   
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
