PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Merl Reagle Crosswords" |
I do his puzzles every Sunday in the Phila. Inqurier. It's not as hard as the NY Times, but I enjoy it more because he always has some fun themes. He was in that Crossword puzzle documentary.Anyway....does anyone else do this particular crossword and if so, maybe we could help each other out! Here's a link to this weeks puzzle. I completed maybe 90% of it. I actually get the Sunday paper on Saturday night so I can get started! But, I also tend to do a little (I "work the corners") each day until I am done. Sometimes I finish Suday, other times I pick it up and put it down and don't finish until later in the week. Depends on my time and the theme! Good Luck! http://www.sundaycrosswords.com/ccpuz/MPuz.php

2. "RE: Merl Reagle Crosswords" |
LAST EDITED ON 04-21-08 AT 10:53 AM (EST)At the American Crossword Tournament this year, puzzle #3 was constructed by Merl Reagle -- it had the same title and gimmick as the one you linked to, but it wasn't the same puzzle. He also announced the "play-by-play" when the finalists did the last puzzle on the whiteboards in front of the audience. I like his puzzles. At the end of the tournament we were all asked to vote for our favorite puzzle out of the first seven, and I voted for his (I never did find out which puzzle won). His wife was selling his puzzle books out in the lobby and I bought one. I'll do this one later. Thanks!

6. "RE: Merl Reagle Crosswords" |
LAST EDITED ON 04-25-08 AT 11:16 AM (EST)I am so excited that I found fellow puzzlers. I actually went away for a few days and had no computer access...and I just remembered to check this to see if anyone replied. Yay! If anyone wants, I'll post the puzzle links on Sundays and on Mondays we can compare notes. I worked this weeks, I did get the definitions...so Byoffer, tell me which ones you need and I'll let you know my answers. I actually had trouble with the first corner, 1 across and then 1, 2 and 3 down. These are probably super easy but I couldn't get it! The defs. I got...strange I know! Until Sunday (or Saturday night!)..... ETA: I'll put the puzzle date in the subject line.

LAST EDITED ON 04-25-08 AT 03:49 PM (EST)I'll work on it over the weekend...this afternoon....I print it out I hate doing crosswords on line... Done!] BR...I watched the PBS special on crosswords...were you on it?
I couldn't do it..I would get too flustered. I figure it's my leisure time activity and I don't want it to be ultra competitive...I've gotten quite good at them but not fast enough...and Saturday Times...I've finished one on my own ever it was just recently I remember Merle being witty when doing "play by play"

13. "04/27/08 "Dressing The Part"" |
I am SO late to the party this week...DH is just finishing up his final semester and has been working on papers etc.Since we have a 9 month old, me and the baby have been going to my moms down the shore to give him peace and quiet! Plus, class nights are LONG with a baby! He leaves for work at 8 and doesn't get home until 10. At least at moms it's less exausting! The only drawback is that mom has no computer. Oh well, I got to work on this weeks and I finished it. Any stuck puzzlers? Any help needed? I liked this weeks theme! BTW, I was so mad when I saw the answers for last weeks..that stupid 3 down EGO TRIP, was the one that was stumping me. Sometimes it's the easy ones... At any rate here's this weeks puzzle: http://www.sundaycrosswords.com/ccpuz/MPuz.php
