THEME: none, with 36 blocks
GOOD ONES: Boy toy? KEN [no, not you, baldy]
Short suckers? VACS ["short" for vacuum]
Prepares for an engagement? KNEELS
One-time bridge AT A ["one at a time"]
Eastern adders? ABACI [of course I thought snakes]
BTW: Swell FAB [when
swell meant
fab, there was no
fab, and now that meaning of
swell is passe, or "old hat" --- also passe]
Classic spy comedy MEN IN BLACK [I cannot see in what sense this movie is classic.]
Early invasion participant THE STONES [the British rock invasion --- an impossible clue solvable only by the letters crossing --- but I liked it]
Cheated ROOKED [wow! It's been a long time since I've seen ROOKED used that way --- since the '60's it's "ripped-off"]
RATING:
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
