The Monday streak is in full effect. It’s stretched to 66 weeks. As a comparison, Calah and I have been going out for 106 weeks, so that’s more than 62% of our relationship.
I pulled out 23A Decorates with bathroom tissue, as in a Halloween prank: TPS to point out how crazy this activity seemed just 12 months ago. Just wasting toilet paper by throwing it over a house? A tree? Even Halloween mummy costumes. And now we all have too much toilet paper. Or do we? The Delta variant is causing LA to reinstate the mask mandate. Is a run on toilet paper next?
Well, unlikely.
The theme of this puzzle was fun. I enjoyed this theme a lot.
17A Summery quip, part 1: TAKINGADOG.
35A Quip, part 2: NAMEDSHARK.
40A Quip, part 3: TOTHEBEACH.
57A End of the quip: ISABADIDEA.
It’s true! Taking a dog named Shark to the beach is a bad idea. It’ll probably get sand in your car.
But then again, the humor of calling for Shark and then telling people, “It’s OK. He doesn’t bite,” would really be fun.
Finished this one in 6:10.
