12:17 pm

MollyL

Name That Proper Noun. I don't know why people insist on using acronyms.

1:33 pm

jan

I've always hoped that someday I could complete a grid without using the list. I don't think today's counts, though.

2:11 pm

MollyL

I always think it's kind of funny when people post "Finished, no list" for the small grids.
: D

5:29 pm

lexophile

Hey folks... I know for most of you this is an "OMG" moment, because you

5:30 pm

lexophile

have already finished the tiny grid (and usually finish the larger ones, too), but I need the ni 5/14 for fireworks... just can't seem to monkey it... all clues appreciated!

5:32 pm

welki

ni + ***t in the wind

5:36 pm

lexophile

yikes, i must be dense... the only thing that comes to mind is "3 sheets to the wind"!!!

5:42 pm

welki

probably before your time - the title of an old Kansas song. if you're country, 'might be a little ***t on the bottle'

5:51 pm

lexophile

ahhhh, got it. thanks, welki!!!
