Anyone else?ĭidn't like this much and don't think it really works. My painful solve was made much harder by the fact that my "'spare' item" was a ROD and not a RIB. Do zombies FALL TO PIECES? And even if they do, why would they do it in particular on karaoke night? Do zombies have NO BRAINS? And even if they don't, why is skipping an empty house more of a no-brainer than a zillion other things they could be skipping or not skipping? (Wait, I'm not allowed to say that any more.) They are so feeble. (Well, after all, it is "modern slang" and I'm, er, OLDISH.)Īs far as those theme answers - they are so la. What's a TMZ story? There's a toon with a talking map? Who knew? And I can't think of a single "on the _" that means "frequently". And not just those really peculiar zombie clue/answers.

Not only was much of this out of my wheelhouse, but at times I felt the whole thing had been written in a code that I was not privy to. Well, sadly, none of this fanciful stuff was relevant. Maybe he was named "Barry" when he was alive, but when he zombified, he decided to start writing it more sassily. Then I got the BACK part and really Really wanted the answer to be a play on "Baby Got Back," only that would've give me "BERI GOT BACK," which left me wondering if maybe there was an archaic word for "zombie" that I just hadn't heard of before. For me, today, the issue was parsing: I had BERIG- up front and could not make a word out of it. You encounter the first themer early, when you don't have a ton of other answers in yet that can help you out and if the theme involves trickiness, well then of course the *first* themer is going to be the one you (probably) struggle with most you don't have the gimmick in hand yet. My only struggles today were around the first themer-this is true with what feels like a large majority of themed puzzles. ABAFT and ICEES are shouting "What about us?" Yes yes I see you, you're harmless today. That bottom line, KIR NANOS STYES, definitely has a haunting "We Who Have Roamed the Grid Forever" feel, or, in the case of NANOS, I guess it's "We Who Have Roamed the Grid Since 2005," but overall there was not an excessive amount of tired fill making me wince as I solved. The fill is mainly short stuff, but it's noticeably cleaner than yesterday's, so I'm grateful for that.
