Second, you can major in ENG practically anywhere. Other things I didn't know: that people ate CAMEL ( 115A: Dish at a traditional Bedouin wedding), or that Missy Elliott was ever in an R&B group before her solo success-these last two ignorances made the SW corner a little harrowing, but only a little.ĭespite being an ENG professor, I did not suspect ENG at all as the answer to 81D: Liberal arts sch.

Btw, Morse Code is made up of "dots and dashes" which are also known as "dits and DAHS" (because "dots and dashes" was such a mouthful?). DAHS is the dah-umbest looking non-word, I just can't accept it despite knowing it (exclusively from crosswords) for decades. who the hell knows Morse Code, seriously, and b. that bestows the Community Assist Award). Yesterday I thought the NRA was the IRA and today I thought the NBA was the NRA ( 79D: Org. The point is, I know BETH Behrs about as well as I know AL TOON (if BETH Behrs is famous, then maybe you should be seeing about getting her *last* name into the puzzle-*that* would be original). "Two Broke Girls" ran for six seasons, I am told (again, by Wikipedia). CSI is also in this puzzle, in case you're wondering who's paying for promotional puzzle consideration (probably not, but it's a good conspiracy theory). Or, millions of people notice, but somehow, culturally, no noise is made, despite the falling trees (er, episodes). Do people really watch "Two Broke Girls"? Actually, bigger question, is that still on the air? I feel like if something gets on CBS and does OK it just runs forever and ever and ever by inertia and no one really notices. Why, why would you do that? I know you really (really!) wanted to do some kind of Rock / Stones mash-up, but a BEEFIER clue seems an odd venue in which to showcase that bit of wit. The BEEFIER clue is insane ( Like the Rock vis-à-vis any of the Stones). I didn't love this, but I definitely liked it more than I've been liking most Sunday puzzles this month year decade. The resulting themers are mostly suitably nuts. It's vintage Sunday wackiness, and as vintage Sunday wackiness goes, it's pretty clever. You add two "I"s to answers, thus giving those answers a FRESH PAIR OF EYES, with a homophonic pun on "eyes," yes, I see, very nice.

Wikipedia is really full of the most incredible rabbit holes. Fay Spain did her first screen test with James Garner, whose 1997 HBO hostage film "Dead Silence" I watched earlier today. There's an American artist, John Altoon, who was married to actress Fay Spain, whom I know from supporting roles in a couple of Mamie van Doren films, the poster for one of which hangs framed in my living room. In short: I have no idea who AL TOON is (wasn't even sure if that was one name or two), and the clue didn't help.
Also, Ring of Honor has big "weird ritual" vibes, like maybe the induction ceremony involves human sacrifice at the mouth of a volcano. "I fell into a burning ring of honor!" That's all I can hear in my head.

Saying he's in the "New York Jets Ring of Honor" is just an awkward way of shouting "he's absolutely not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame!" There is absolutely no crossword reason for using "New York Jets Ring of Honor" except, perhaps, to signal that AL TOON was a Jet. Is the "New York Jets Ring of Honor" supposed to be a meaningful entity? What the hell is that? AL TOON is a three-time Pro Bowler, that's good enough. He is considered to be among the Jets' all-time greatest wide receivers and overall players in franchise history. The three-time Pro Bowl selectee played his entire NFL career with the Jets (1985-1992), leading his team and the league in receptions during the late 1980s. A two-time First Team All-Big Ten pick at the University of Wisconsin, Toon set several school football records for the Wisconsin Badgers.
