LAT Wed. 8/22 C.C. Burnikel

[magus]

Possible Title:   Corp. Biggies

Theme: Corporate names hidden in phrases:  ALCOA, INTEL, IBM, KRAFT, GE

Good Ones:
With “the,” much-watched index {and theme}   DOW
Ask for more Money?   RENEW

By the Way:
RIBMEAT [is that a word?  Perhaps it could be in “Rib meat is most tender.”  But more than likely it would be “Meat from the rib…”]

POWER tie is a pet peeve: there is no such thing despite haberdashers’ insistence.  It’s like their emperor’s new clothes --- neither exist.

I found six modern idioms today: SLAY; GET; NICE; CARBO-load; “Good one!”; Crabby.  There are other older ones.

Some Nits to Pick:
Bite with un aperitivo  TAPA [what’s Spanish for “Bite”?]

Yours, to Yves   ATOI [how do you know Yves is French?]

RATING:    Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
