Hypercross: Putting the Cart Before the...

Fun puzzle.
I kept writing "house" instead of what I should have been writing.

Congrats on finding a fertile pre/suffix!

I'm stuck on the top one across - help?

[1] you of all people?

I think I have all the right answers, but no dice. I don't even know how to guess which one is wrong. sigh

EDIT: Aha...I found two incorrect (but in my opinion, workable) answers for the far left down. Now I've got it. Clever puzzle.

having problems with the men's room... (man I had to chuckle after wrote that :-)

leadfoot, think Upstate New York and Halloween

sorry to nag, but any help on the top one across?

-- ha! I didn't even intend to make that pun!

I think you have an on again/off again problem...

[3] Well, you probably know what it starts with. :) Just start saying all the things that symbol can mean. Eventually, the proverbial light bulb will turn on.

[6] Is there any unusual feature on that men's room sign?

Thx - I love those simultaneous posts!
edit
Thanks all!!

And fun puzzle apparatus! thanks!

leadfoot -- thanks! That did it!

Hmm, I have them all but something is wrong.
Anything spelled oddly?

[14] the only thing I noticed spelled oddly was the peanuts character

Yeah, I think I got that one: ley?

yes "ley"

Well, I'm blowed if I can see which one is wrong.

gm you list to me and I'll check it (pbleadfoot)

[20] Thanks leadfoot, GM sent.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you... check your GM

Done and done.
Thanks for your assistance leadfoot.

I thought the far left was a theme's rear. couldn't figure why that was incorrect.

Fun puzzle thanks.

OK, I finally had the oomph to get the top one...

A few of the clues here were clever. Not hard, but clever.

I like the normal "themed" hypercross puzzles.

Glad people seemed to like it.

cute. except I spelled the peanuts character answer wrong.

[28] I debated on using him for the clue but couldn't really find any clue that led to the proper spelling so I figured easy recognition would be better.

Very good puzzle. Clues were clear and other than the misspelling of the clue with Mr. Brown, pretty clean to work through!

Is that a Michael Vick nike?

I think the condom could have been used without the brandname just as effectively

[32] Agreed. Or a photo of the "Tommy" statue at the University of Southern California would have been clever.

Overall, this was a very fun and easy puzzle. Nicely done.

[31] Yes, yes it is...

[32][33] I thought of that as well but I wanted to give a few near obvious clues to help the theme along. That makes it an easier puzzle but can also sway the fun level for some.

finally got it

thought it was a beet

I don't get the good:evil clues. Any salt?

The opposite of good is evil

The opposite of the front of a piece of paper is the ______ of a piece of paper...

ah- TY leadfoot

[24] Me too!

Nice puzzle, not too hard yet still enjoyable. I especially enjoyed the "mens room" clue.

I was stuck on the top across. I got it, but it wasn't as easy as all the rest. * switch didn't fit.

The only one that threw me was the spelling for Mr. Brown's clue.

I must be making this way too hard on myself...

Funny enough, I put the Peanuts characters full name in and it fits in the spaces - I thought to myself well that's a major departure from the theme. When I got to the bottom 3 across - none of them fit. Once I got one of them I saw the error in my ways.

[42]I'll be here a couple more minutes. If you're still out there, feel free to GM me.

I did the same thing!!!

#3 is NOT 'HORSESASS'

didn't like the switch clue at all.....don't know how to salt it....maybe an engine would have been clearer?
