THEME: phrases missing the first word, TAKE
GOOD ONES: Title: "Misstakes" Record listings? CRIMES [not LP's]
Openings to fill CAVITIES [not jobs]
Ties in Tokyo OBIS [not relationships]
Cooler in hot weather ICE TEA [not the state of being]
O staff, briefly EDS [Oprah's magazine]
BTW: Not
ANGSTE again! --- it was poor last week and hasn't gotten any better.
MACHE and
TREF are also not English.
Oddly, the theme clues without the verb
take are syntactically not parallel. It's not a problem today because the theme requires the verb --- unlike yesterday's outright lack of concern for language structure.
RATING:
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
