What the…?

Why I oughta…!

I dunno.

I don’t see any clues to which the answers might be “Gary Ruppert”, Brussels Sprouts”, “The Buttocks”, “Bag o’Dicks”, ANYTHING you might find in Herr Smut’s bathroom, Tom Brady’s Foot or Gavin’s Laptop.

Try again.

Try HARDER!

mikey

Where are the foreskins? God help us THE FORESKINS HAVE BEEN REMOVED.

Thanks, Dave Macleod. Do you do cryptics?

Yeah. Sweet stuff, Dave!

[If any Boston SadlyNauts who have a laptop want to do some volunteering for Obama this weekend (and not have to talk on the phone or knock on doors), let me know, ok?]

Hi All,
I see the crossword is up, and I hope you all enjoy it. It was fun to make.
I don’t do cryptics, Rob, but that doesn’t mean I never will. Happy solving folks.

Done!

Done here, too. Next: an all-intra-SN! puzzle, per Mikey above. Thanks, Dave.

Thanks, Dave.

A crossword puzzle on SN? Nice. Does this mean I can expect Orange to start making fun of wingnuts at Diary of a Crossword Fiend? I sure hope so. Maybe the two blogs could merge to make my internet addictions more manageable.
.

And oh yeah, how rude of me. Thanks, Dave.

Who is this ‘Cro’, and why has he or she left a sword here?

ANYTHING you might find in Herr Smut’s bathroom
There was ‘bosom’ AND ‘jug’!

Fun! Me Luv Crosswords. Also MzKitty, who’s stretched out in front of my monitor, enjoys how the blocks and squares kinda jump a little when I move the mouse.

that was fun, thanks

My parents’ kitty loves things on the teevee or the computer screen. Some can see images on screens, others can’t. Their previous cat couldn’t, for example.

Yay! I did it!

Thanks for that.

Maybe next a little Flash game where you throw pie at trolls?

Woo hoo! But the reward should’ve been greater. I already KNEW reality had a liberal bias.

“Vigor’s partner” is so obscure and geeky. I love it.

The answer to that was “underpants”, right?

DAMN YOU!!

I know what I’m doing after I put The Boy to bed.

That was cool.

Anyone else have to change “arrest”?

Very fun, thank you!

Fun! Thanks, Dave.

I have a laptop, but I am in Connecticut. Anything I can do to help using Teh Majick of Teh Internets? It’s not currently possible for me to travel. Hell, it’s not currently possible for me to take the fucking trash out.

I would like to second this. I am in Syracuse with a laptop, a couch, and a cable modem, and most likely some time on my hands (depends on how the weekend goes).

well i finished that.

i’d be proud, but i take my crosswords seriously and i don’t want to fall for the soft bigotry of low expectations.

there are youth on the street outside making threatening noises and smashing pumpkins. this must be investigated ignored with all due haste.

you guys want jill’s last mccain photo (and IMHO her best) for tuesday? just say the word.

i don’t mean to do a spoiler here, but perhaps i am not aware of all internet traditions.

since when is there an “s” in john mccain?

Sidney.

no, the clue was “Mustang Ranch Guests”

GREAT tag line!

What color is your favorite word game. Is it pink/cut? Do anagrams and crosswords mix?

Thanks,

Can someone explain “Dix + un” though?

It’s French for “ten + one”

Hi All,
A quick note for any crossword afficionados in the audience…this puzzle follows all the basic rules of construction regarding symmetry, number of words and blocks, etc. I took some liberties here and there (I had to use McCain’s middle initial to make it fit symmetrically) that would have resulted in immediate rejection by any crossword editor. The intent was to get as many Republican-bashing words and clues as possible without pushing it and getting stupid. Some of the clues required a bit of creativity to make work (CENT, e.g.), and some words just couldn’t realistically be clued in that manner (TALC). Clue writing is often where the most fun is in construction.

This is great, Dave. Thanks!

“Vigor’s partner” is so obscure and geeky. I love it.

No, not really. “Vim and vigor” is a common enough phrase, pre-dating vi and talking paper clips.

Also, SPOILER WARNING ABOVE!

Fun puzzle, Dave!

Lawnguylander, I usually reserve my political rants for my non-crossword blog. Seems like it would get a little crowded to wedge crosswords and current events into one spot—but I will say that I enjoyed Dave’s take on things.

Awesome. I just found this same program and used it to do a cryptic like last week: http://baseballn00b.blogspot.com/2008/10/cryptic-crossword.html

I would like a puzzle with the theme Sarah Palin (to her sexist fans), I think that gave me the best laughs. Thanks Orange for the link and I didn’t time myself.
