THEME: missing letter from a Broadway play makes an odd phrase
GOOD ONES: Show about an unusual car? THE ODD COUPE
Show about shoeless Shem? BAREFOOT IN THE ARK [Shem was with Noah on the ark]
Start of a waste line? HASTE [as in it makes waste --- not waistline]
Hole in the head NOSTRIL
Sound often prohibited? PEEP ["Don't make a peep!"]
Sink hole DRAIN
Mustard weapon, possibly ROPE [amazing how that games stays in one's memory! Col. Mustard is from the game Clue and one weapon was a rope]
Possessive type? DEMON [as in demonic possession]
First name in lexicography NOAH [Webster's first name. And Webster is also the first name in lexicography.]
BTW: Foes of us THEM [but to be grammatical, the phrase should be "It's they or us," but it sounds lame (lame sounds odd to me)]
"Yo te ___": Spanish lover's words AMO [perhaps Jim is a lover of Spanish, but as a speaker of English with its Latin roots, I'd go with "Latin lover's word" or the cigar brand Te ___]
RATING:
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
