Jan 25, 2010 Hypercross Puzzle

That was fun, but I'll be paying for it in the morning.

I'm enjoying some #7 right now.

Fun!
#10 is pretty cool.

Yes, #10 made me laugh.

I want some now

Spelling slowed me way down.

I don't get the clue for #10, but I was able to get the word with the first half of the clue, plus the theme.

#10 is awesome ... the clue, not the item itself ... although the item might be awesome too, but I have no experience there.

#10 is the one I assume they think I have wrong but I can't think of anything else that fits it. That or I have a spelling issue even though I checked everything twice.

Nope it was 1 that got me. I spell it a different way.

Yup! "Spaghetti minus a hot dog" had me stumped for a while too but I also had enough #7 in me to get me through.

[8] send me your list if you wish doc

I wasted many many minutes ignoring "i before e."

Actually, I just had my wife come over and she explained it to me. And I thought *I* was the Freakin' Genius around here....

no whining

#10 isn't when in the bun.

12?

especially like reading the properties. very clever.

[14] Use it in a chicken or shrimp dish. Delicious.

[14] that's our neighboring red planet.

[14] its not the moon.

wish I was tasting them all!

geez... it took me forever to figure out that it was #3 i was spelling wrong...

The spellings are tough for a non-snob like me. Remember folks, the clues are ALL phonetic this time! fun.

It took me until clue #9 to get my first answer and thereby the theme. I thought clue #2 had soemthing to do with "Peanot Butter". hey, it goes on toast, right? :)

went to bed, just got up and still no idea what 12 is. I knew what the pictures are of but not how to make something of them

Love me some Johnson's Baby Poo

amazing that as a non-drinker this is the first puzzle I solved, must be due to the daughter that works at an upscale local restaurant :)

Don't be such a chicken, [23]

I could solve most of these on knowledge - I used to pour at tastings. But I did have to go to a <theme> list in order to find all the proper spellings.

Love #4! Great clues overall!

#12 is used to make a classic chicken or veal Italian dish. It's strictly for cooking. And have drunk all of the others at least once and still got the spellings wrong at first.

WOW finally got there. Thanks for the help

A toast to you susie!

[11] Yes, and other wEIrd policIEs of the English language..

I've finished now, but I still don't get #10...

Edit: I thought about it for several minutes, then 5 seconds after I post...

Glad you used a "hot dog", so to speak, for 10 and not a slang term/photo. Should actually be easy for those in New England or New York.

TERRIFIC! (But I couldn't spell #3...) Great puzzle.
