@Bob K. - no prob, my dear friend. Hey, M&A himself just lives between his next runtpuz typo/misfire. Now, off to the den, to try and remember why I went there… M&A
@BobK. - A truly valiant solvequest effort on this biter runt. I’ve now gotten worried that I may have mucked the “special” 3-Across answer up a bit, so I’m issuin a precautionary revised version. M&A
@BobK - Yer "huh?" is well-founded. Good grief, M&A. I will issue a revised version. Yer solution was 100% correct, all considered, btw. This concerns m&e ... as I just made a 15 min. runtpuz that I even had trouble solvin, while I was still makin it! [gulp]
@BobK dude - Don’t feel bad, if this one put up a fight at yer house … it put up a fight at mine, back when I was just tryin to make it correctly. It continuously bit the constructioneer, too. M&A
@M&A - I saw your Rex post today. You realize that if you raise tariffs on runts, I will be forced to impose an equal retaliatory tariff on blog entries from Canada. ;-) Good thing the US of A doesn't need anything from the soon-to-be 51st state. I wish there was something you folks could do to peel the orange!
P.S. I did not know about NYT rate changes. I am bombarded with emails asking me to upgrade to full NYT access (currently games only) for the same cost, which I think is around $40, but in CAD bucks for me. Maybe I should sign up for another year.
*** revision alert *** Well, shoot… @BobK. points out that one of this runt’s longball answers is misspelt. I’ll try to cook up a revised version, and put it out in the mornin. no refunds.
@BobK.- This old version had the answer OCTAVAL, which basically means like an octave, or scale of the 8 music notes. I think U were kinda wonderin about that puppy. M&A
I find it amusing that 11D had what seem at least three possible answers, especially when I had no idea what 12 D was getting at! But if I didn't find runtpuzzes amusing, I wouldn't do them! Cheers!
*** revised version *** Got er done early. Hopefully it's all better, now. @BobK: U should go ahead and work this new version. I set it up as a new runt, since a lot of it changed. Maybe yer chance for a primo solvetime, tho.
M&A, have you read Connie Willis? Her "Doomsday Book" (travel to the black plague years) and Blackout/All Clear duology about the battle of Britain are pretty cool. I think she just wants to be a historical fiction writer but throws some time travel in to spice it up.
@Teedmn- Sounds interestin. Thanx for the tip. The ultimate time travel gotchas flick, IM&AO, is “Primer” [2004]. It got called “Donnie Darko” for grown-ups, by some critic. Makes yer head darn near explode, unless watched at least three times, to get it all straight. M&A

@BobK.- This old version had the answer OCTAVAL, which basically means like an octave, or scale of the 8 music notes.
DeleteI think U were kinda wonderin about that puppy.

I find it amusing that 11D had what seem at least three possible answers, especially when I had no idea what 12 D was getting at! But if I didn't find runtpuzzes amusing, I wouldn't do them! Cheers!
Delete*** revised version ***
ReplyDeleteGot er done early. Hopefully it's all better, now.
@BobK: U should go ahead and work this new version.
I set it up as a new runt, since a lot of it changed.
Maybe yer chance for a primo solvetime, tho.

M&A, have you read Connie Willis? Her "Doomsday Book" (travel to the black plague years) and Blackout/All Clear duology about the battle of Britain are pretty cool. I think she just wants to be a historical fiction writer but throws some time travel in to spice it up.
@Teedmn- Sounds interestin. Thanx for the tip.
DeleteThe ultimate time travel gotchas flick, IM&AO, is “Primer” [2004]. It got called “Donnie Darko” for grown-ups, by some critic. Makes yer head darn near explode, unless watched at least three times, to get it all straight.
