![]() May be a new player to some particular game.ģ. a person who does something stupid, often repeatedly. I looked it up and pieced together some insights -ġ. Never heard of QUINTE, RAGNAROK, or GINS up.ĪMATEUR I got with the fair crosses, but “n00b” was a total woe for me. I left two squares blank: the G and then N of GINS up. “we’re here” then “we’re home” for WE MADE IT “pernod” for PASTIS – Hi, Thanks for stepping in this morning. I clawed my way to the end – had to erase ![]() Very nice work, though! This was by far the toughest Saturday I’ve done in a while. So, Ryan McCarty, I hated you right out of the gate. I’m still childishly jealous when I see a debut – a solo – that’s a themeless. ELLIE KEMPER ( 14D: Title actress on Netflix's "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt") was ELSIE KEMP_R for a bit because I didn't know LIDA ROSE ( 20A: Barbershop staple from "The Music Man") and couldn't remember Ms. Anyway I dissed the show and now I've got the star's full name stabbing straight down the middle of the grid- this is the kind of cosmic revenge I can get down with. And that's just one of the problems I have with it. ![]() Her voice is the vinegar that curdles the show. ![]() Someone told me that I need to crawl out from under my rock and watch "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt." I barely made it through one. I think it stayed in there for a while, too- I seem to recall ending in the NW and realizing my mistake through TOURNIQUET ( 4D: Flow stopper, of a sort). TIFFS also allowed for ENTIRE ( 2D: Uncut), and so before I knew it I had a wrong answer locked in. My solve started at 1D ( French anise-flavored liqueur) with the declaration "It's either PERNOD or PASTIS" and confirmation of the latter by incorrectly filling in TIFFS for 19A ( Rows) and its correct-yet-incorrect T. Maybe you look around to see if anyone saw you just totally own the longest answer in the hardest puzzle of the week. Sometimes it's nice to drop in a grid-spanning answer like that with few/no crosses. As themelesses go this one is not terribly sparkling in terms of the overall fill, but the marquee/seed entry, SCHUYLER SISTERS ( 33A: Sibling trio in "Hamilton") is certainly a modern-day crowd pleaser. ![]()
