· I told my psychiatrist I keep thinking I’m ugly and he told me to lay on the couch… face down!
· When my parents got divorced, there was a custody fight over me… no one showed up.
· With my wife I get no respect. I fell asleep with a cigarette in my hand; she lit it.
· My wife made me join a bridge club… I jump off next Tuesday.
· I live in a tough neighborhood. Once I asked a policeman how far it was to the subway and he said, “I don’t know, no one has ever made it.”
· Once when I was lost, I saw a policeman and asked him to help me find my parents. I said to him, “Do you think we’ll ever find them?” He said, “I don’t know kid; there’s so many places they can hide.”

· I’m so ugly – my father carries around a picture of the kid who came with his wallet.
· I was so poor… in my neighborhood, the rainbow was in black and white!
· What a childhood I had. My parents sent me to a child psychiatrist. The kid didn’t help me at all. · When I played in the sandbox, the cat kept covering me up.
· What a kid I got, I told him about the birds and the bees and he told me about the butcher and my wife. · I came from a real tough neighborhood; I bought a waterbed and found a guy at the bottom of it.
· I came from a real tough neighborhood; on my street, the kids take hubcaps – from moving cars.
· I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me and he said I was being ridiculous… everyone hasn’t met me yet.

· I tell ya, comedy is in my blood; I wish it was in my act.
Thanx to all U cool test solvers for yer suggestions on the "Top Flippers" runt. I have corrected that 9-A clue and made one of the long Acrossers a bit harder. (Originally made the Acrossers real easy, cuz I thought otherwise the puz would be a biter.) Revised version is below:
p.s. Deleted previous edition, to give this biter a 12 min. solve time allotment. Also improved a clue a bit. And was sure to remove any references to "beer".
p.s. Not quite sure exactly when yet (depends on weather forecasts), but soon the M&A clan will be doin a Big road trip. This could well lead to a slowdown in runtpuzs for about a month. Will try to drop one in occasionally, when I can, tho, along the way...
Enjoy the vacation. Maybe use yer time unwisely, to study up on sled dog breeds and beer brands, or somesuch. (har)
P.S. @M&A - Maybe too early to mention, and still dependent on government regulation, but in about a month I hope to visit my friend, the Mall Orca. Perhaps we will pass in the airport, coming and going!
Hi all, I got home yesterday, been working on a few runts without expecting to comment until I got caught up, but tried the Iditarod biter! The best part was 15A but had to reveal letters to get that far. I think I am dead last.
Enjoy your road trip, M&A! You have been spoiling us with all your runts, you deserve a break. I hope you are not relying on your Iditarod team to transport you and the M&A clan. As the saying goes, get a horse!
I just finished getting caught up on all the runts. @M&A, here's my un-dyeing thanks for all runt puzzles, even the questionable ones! I have saved my solves on Down home, except for 2 that I solved with Across Lite while offline on the road.
Now its time to get caught up on the NYT puzzles I missed.
New comments page has been started. Thanks Kirk.

p.s. Deleted previous edition, to give this biter a 12 min. solve time allotment. Also improved a clue a bit. And was sure to remove any references to "beer".
"Iditarod" I think I'll win the race to last place! Thanks.

Thanks. Sorry, Teedmn, I have you tied for last place!
p.s.
ReplyDeleteNot quite sure exactly when yet (depends on weather forecasts), but soon the M&A clan will be doin a Big road trip. This could well lead to a slowdown in runtpuzs for about a month. Will try to drop one in occasionally, when I can, tho, along the way...
Enjoy the vacation. Maybe use yer time unwisely, to study up on sled dog breeds and beer brands, or somesuch. (har)

Yeah. OK, I know. Runtpuz life is gettin kinda wolf pack rough, lately. Here's a nice, relatively-gentle pup that licks but don't bite…

Nice puppy, . . . nice . . Thanks!
P.S. @M&A - Maybe too early to mention, and still dependent on government regulation, but in about a month I hope to visit my friend, the Mall Orca. Perhaps we will pass in the airport, coming and going!
"Face Time" Nice, thanks!

I guess I got spoiled with the pandemic preventing Runt hiatuses but everybody needs/deserves some time away from home. Good for y'all, M&A and @BobK.

Hi all, I got home yesterday, been working on a few runts without expecting to comment until I got caught up, but tried the Iditarod biter! The best part was 15A but had to reveal letters to get that far. I think I am dead last.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your road trip, M&A! You have been spoiling us with all your runts, you deserve a break. I hope you are not relying on your Iditarod team to transport you and the M&A clan. As the saying goes, get a horse!
Possible theme title? - It came to mind just after hitting publish button. Runtucky derby?
