THEME: none, but two fifteeners
GOOD ONES: Over the limit on the rd. DUI [alcohol, not speed]
Liquidated? MELTED [wasn't this in
The Wizard of Oz?]
Novel ending ETTE [maybe not so novel but good nonetheless]
Short prayer? MANTIS [that's "pray-er" so a praying mantis prays, in a way]
Not a good way to run AGROUND ["run aground" is a sailing horror about which I have direct experience!]
Time keeper? FOB [it keeps the watch from falling]
BTW: Buff FIEND [Hardly. The clue means
devotee; a FIEND is maniacal. They are far apart]
Right, in a way AVENGE [only if one thinks that to take revenge is the right thing to do]
Ejection
interjection SCRAM [but it's a command, not an interjection]
"Building a healthier world" means the world and therefore its inhabitants are healthier. The word "healthful" seems today to be ignored and so we get slogans like "… it's a healthy food" or "heathy choice." But, I remember when "Winston tastes good like a cigarette should." As Bob Dylan wrote, "I used to care, but things have changed." [great song "Things Have Changed" and contrasts well with his earlier "Times, They Are A Changin'"]
I don't mind being beaten, which I was today, but to lose to the French
"___-la-loi" is hard to take [but to be honest, I couldn't get TOROID either]
RATING:
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
