FLATS FRIDAY - DID YOU MISS ME?

i'm back! did you miss me? (don't lie, you did)

SPOONERISM (*7, 2 4)

When me and my friends used to log onto YOUTUBE

(back when the service was still online),

Nintendo game downloads sans disc were our shit,

And we talked about motion controls all the time.

Even today, when we’re choosing our fits,

Our old gaming pastime affects what TO YOOB:

On Connor, a Mario tee looks pretty slick,

But these Kirby crocs make me look like a rube.

CURTAILMENT (9, 5 3)

Speedrun church? I have a TEST:

Lay TESTA, pray, and—boom! You’re blessed.

COVERING SELF IN OIL (*3, 2 4)

One day at a DRY game, I had to pass time.

So I thought I’d try for a serious crime

I snuck in the locker rooms, stole all their liquor—

They sent me to jail, but I got out SLICKER.

LETTER BANK (6, 5/5, 2 3 2 *6)

I A [sic] a viral B tweet

in which two opinions compete,

though some forums claim

puzzle one hundred and thirty seven: croods themeless

as you may know, i love themeless puzzles and that is why they are the only thing i post on this blog. this puzzle first started as an attempt to [add seven-paragraph-long essay about every entry that i managed to fit into this puzzle in a vague enough way that it doesn't spoil the puzzle but specifically enough that i can justify writing this blurb]. luckily i was able to [imply i'm a coding god]

puzzle one hundred and thirty six: hey guys i found a cool new fifteen

puzzle one hundred and thirty five: ASSface

sorry really sad about not hearing from coby. here's an assface.

note: every entry in this grid is an ANAGRAM of a word in its clue, a SEMORDNILAP of a word in its clue, or a SUPERVOCALIC. also the grid looks like a face.  

puzzle one hundred and thirty four: that's business, baby

today's puzzle was inspired by (and submitted to!) my favorite crossword publisher "the morning brew".  tony howell a.k.a. the editor a.k.a. "bae" has graciously lifted submission guidelines from the nyt and instead of paying in money (which nobody needs lol), he is paying in brewneck sweatshirt, valued at 35 dollars. finally!!! i've been waiting to get my hands on one of these.

i have submitted this puzzle to coby three times. maybe more :)

FLATS FURSDAY: FLATS FURSDAY

by participating in flats fursday, you hereby agree to be deemed a furry by proxy. if you were already a furry before participating in flats fursday, it cancels out and you are no longer a furry.

TRANSPOSAL (4)

I know some might find me quite boring,

But I wouldn’t watch furries scoring.

Don’t call me a prude,

I’m okay if art’s lewd.

But I’m kind of OVER re: VOREing.

LETTER BANK (6, *8, 5 1 7)

He looks for SECOND art online,

And likes what he can see.

Legoshi kissing Haru? Fine!

Just keep it, like, PG.

(Alas, that hope is not to last,

He sees one FIRST and THIRD so fast)

WORD DELETION (WHOLE = *4 *6, IN = 3, OUT = 7)

One day at the WHOLE back in one-nine-eight-three,

When Best Musical was announced,

The cast (true to species) let out a big ~IN~,

and then, OUT the audience, pounced.

LETTER BANK (8, *10, 6 4)

Once I made a TEN post

Seeking fellow EIGHT around me.

Many folks responded

(that part kinda does astound me).

We talked about our ears and tails

And all the mice we’ve chased.

We had spaghetti dinner,

With some SIX FOUR (just for taste).

I don’t think I’ll soon forget

Those happy smiles, and how.

All in all, I’d say it was

A purr-fect day. Mee-wow!
