What I live for, what I dream of.
Thank yo...joe!!! What I live for, what I dream of.<br /><br />Thank you for reaching out, and for Giving Cryptics a Chance. It took at least a year of Stupendous Jarrod holding my hand for me to even "like" cryptics, and at least another year before I could complete one on my own. So you are rocketing up the learning curve, friend. <br /><br />As for apron, AHHHHHHH YES totally. You're right.

I get that "covering a" works in a down clue, but maybe it's an intentional mislead? Not that "dress covering" is a whole lot less suspect as a def...<br />joeadultmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08321554103999939370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910851069250142107.post-6655322702436719992015-04-01T05:30:30.676-07:002015-04-01T05:30:30.676-07:00Hello!
A story. (Needlessly long, but (spoiler!) ...Hello!<br /><br />A story. (Needlessly long, but (spoiler!) you're the hero!)<br /><br />A few months ago, my friend subscribed me to Harper's. Thanks, Ben!<br />So it was that I encountered my very first cryptic crossword.<br />I thought, "Sweet, I love crosswords!"<br />Then I read the instructions and the clues.<br />I asked the puzzle, "What do you want from me?!"<br />I thrust it at my co-workers (all copy editors) and asked them what it wanted from me.<br />They chuckled uncomfortably at the strings of nonsense and handed it back.<br />I asked the Internet, and it told me, very dryly, that clues could be constructed in one of a dozen ways, or in any combination thereof, and that "queen" might mean "ER", and that it's not really for everyone, dummy.<br /><br />I banged my head against the first two puzzles, and could get no more than two answers in each one.<br />[montage of this lengthy and painful failure (meaning the puzzle attempts, not this story)]<br />Finally I gave up and looked for some answers, and that's how I found your blog!<br /><br />And because you are funny and informational and reference Magic and The Thing and Parks and Rec and feminism and, oh, everything else, I was finally able to grok this thing!<br />I completed the next puzzle I tried (Tetris)! And the next!<br /><br />I rushed back here (OK, I just typed/clicked at normal speeds), eager to see what you had to say, because this time I'd totally be in the know.<br />I checked often for your latest revue (after I figured out you politely waited to post till after the contest deadline).<br />And then time passed. I began to worry that I had found your cryptolexical oasis just as it had run dry.<br />(I make it sound like months went by, but close examination of the timeline reveals that I must have given up in about a week.)<br />You can imagine my joy today when I saw that you were still at it!<br /><br />Seeing your...glum? expression, though, I thought back to the times I blogged and how annoying it was when blogless people would bug me to update, and how difficult it could be to force myself to write just a few paragraphs.<br />And I looked again at your posts and saw the immense amount of stuff-doing they represented.<br /><br />So I wrote all this to thank you! Thank you for teaching me to cryptic, and thank you for the free edutainment, and thank you for making yourself do something you absolutely don't have to do!<br /><br />Your considerable efforts are appreciated—no April Fool'sin'.joeadultmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08321554103999939370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910851069250142107.post-4854740436921856282015-03-22T18:30:18.135-07:002015-03-22T18:30:18.135-07:00UGH kpm that exact thing has happened to me MANY a...UGH kpm that exact thing has happened to me MANY a time.

This comment system is bad! What you got against anonymous comments anyway. Make me do a captcha, make me do three. I'm not a robot and i'm not afraid to prove it. I don't even read Harper's. But I read THIS.~racbes-solmunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02129763399751106463noreply@blogger.com
