    "Frozen Assets" --

    Thanks.

    BTW, I am leaving on Wednesday for two weeks at Mall Orca. For the first eight days I will be on my own, which means no keyboard, which means I may not be doing any Runts. I promise to catch up eventually.

    @BobK.-"No runts?!" … Sounds like a primo vacation, to m&e. Enjoy yerselves immensely. I'll work up some Desperate Word Squares © to compliment the usual no keyboard dilemma.

    @BobK. - U are one dedicated runtfan. Thanx. Unfortunately, you'll have to draw a bunch of black squares for this next one, if solving on paper.
    Hint: The black square pattern is like this: [*=black,o=white]
    *ooo*oo
    oooo*oo
    ooo*ooo
    **ooo**
    oooo*oo

    M&A-- Thank you for your kind consideration, but I really feel bad for you taking all the extra effort of listing the grid pattern. After all, when I open the puzzle, I see the grid, and it only takes an average of 2.6 nanoseconds to blacken each appropriate square in my prepared 7 x 7 diagram.

    @BobK and @Teedmn should receive extra U Central puzscore points, for debuggin it. Does 1000 extra points sound about right?

    Next runtpuz will sorta be a make-amends xword, based partly on @Teedmn's recent cartoon offering.

    Thanks.

    Strangely, this morning I turned on my shiny new iMac for the first time after two weeks vacation, and my repeated attempts to get on line were met with the statement that "Safari cannot be opened because it is not responding." After trying everything else I could think of that did not involve a 16 lb. hammer, I turned the iMac off, let it sit a few hours, and ... voila!, here I am.

    I wrote this puppy yesterday, and posted it right away, before I could get cold feet. For obvious reasons, the cluin tended to lean toward a bit desperate. A recent homophone-clued NYTPuz kinda opened up the whole "desperate clue" conceit, which got my pronto attention.

    There have been weirder answers in a runtpuz!

    "Headed to Grandma's mine" is puzzle #1100. I have updated the list of M&A puzzles and also the Runt corpus which now has 12,187 words up from 11,002. Patrick Berry immunity words are up to 3,311 from 3,069. And there are now 483 two letter words which is 483/676 = 71% of all possible two letter words.

    Finally @Teedmn has decided to give someone else a chance to rewin the crossword puzzle graphic novel and the new winner is @BobK!! Feel free to use this blog to figure out how to get the book.

    Oy! Halloween is still ten days away, but I am already at a triple witching time! I have a WSJ puzzle with seemingly too many possibilities for an answer, a Matt Gaffney puzzle with seemingly too few hints to the answer, and now a contest I didn't even know existed. I have rewon the "crossword puzzle graphic novel"?!? I don't remember ever having heard that there was such a thing, let alone that it was up for grabs. And now I have to figure out how to get it? Sorry, my ideas on the subject begin and end with, "Teedmn, if you are coming to Stamford in March, could you bring the book?"

    (Please mentally sprinkle this post with smiley face emoticons -- I'm honored but puzzled!)

      Ralph refers to the book, "Fun" by Paolo Bacilieri (no matter how many times I write that name, I can never remember it), a graphic novel about the history of crosswords plus a mystery. I don't know if you remember at Lollapuzzoola, when @Tita said to me, "I wish I'd known you were going to be here; I just sent something to you." The book was the prize for the randomly chosen person who congratulated M&A for his puzzle 1000 accomplishment on the Rex blog and Tita won. After she finished it, she wanted to share it and Ralph suggested me as the next recipient, to sort of coincide with my birthday.

      I would be glad to send it to you via US Postal Service if you want to email your address to me! No need to wait until March.

    I was locked out of Comments for a while, but I visited other sites, saw that I was OK with them, came back here, and now I am accepted again.

    Thanks, Teedmn.

    And this must be comment #198 or so.
