someone explain this crossword clue: big foot? = EEE

is that a european shoe size or something?

Jordan, Friday, 7 December 2007 17:58 (sixteen years ago) link

width?
or maybe it's like OMG BIGFOOT EEEEEEEEEEEE

La Lechera, Friday, 7 December 2007 17:59 (sixteen years ago) link

EEE indicates width in a shoe size. It also shows up in a lot of crosswords.

Tausig's puzzle this week was the easiest of his I've ever done: I did it on the way home the other night, and I was done before I got to Fullerton.

jaymc, Friday, 7 December 2007 18:01 (sixteen years ago) link

yeah, i agree, super easy (both the inkwell one and the one in the Onion)

Jordan, Friday, 7 December 2007 18:02 (sixteen years ago) link

i like doing easy crosswords though :>

Jordan, Friday, 7 December 2007 18:02 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, I meant the Inkwell one. Haven't done the Onion one yet.

jaymc, Friday, 7 December 2007 18:07 (sixteen years ago) link

the past couple of weekends sarah and i have taken the onion and reader crosswords with us to brunch and traded them back and forth while waiting for our food. most obnoxious cute couple thing to do y/n?

Jordan, Friday, 7 December 2007 18:16 (sixteen years ago) link

more obnoxious than doing it: braggin on the internet about doing it

La Lechera, Friday, 7 December 2007 18:16 (sixteen years ago) link

chicago kevin, Friday, 7 December 2007 18:29 (sixteen years ago) link

equato sounds like one of those made-up fruits where they force two fruits to have sex to one another. like ... a cantelope and ... a tangerine ... and a ... blueberry. a menage a trois de fruits.

OH MY FUCKING GOD YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVE MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THE WHOLE FUCKING WORLD? GIVING REMEDIAL COMPUTER LESSONS TO 50 YEAR OLD WOMEN. ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY DON'T ACTUALLY WANT HELP, THEY WANT ME TO GIVE UP AND DO IT FOR THEM. GOD I LOVE THAT. I LOVE THAT SO MUCH.

HOW DO YOU BROWSE FILES? HOW DO YOU BROWSE FILES? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

kenan, Friday, 7 December 2007 18:39 (sixteen years ago) link

It's entirely possible that I have had too much coffee.

kenan, Friday, 7 December 2007 18:39 (sixteen years ago) link

I'm going to be doing crosswords alone forever.

Laurel, Friday, 7 December 2007 18:41 (sixteen years ago) link

Pluots are so delicious.

Eazy, Friday, 7 December 2007 18:42 (sixteen years ago) link

I prefer doing crosswords alone, too.

jaymc, Friday, 7 December 2007 18:46 (sixteen years ago) link

But that's largely because I like the sense of pride and accomplishment, where I can be like I DID THAT ALL BY MYSELF.

jaymc, Friday, 7 December 2007 18:47 (sixteen years ago) link

Wamu's hold music sounds like the intro for "Like a Virgin"

Jesse, Friday, 7 December 2007 18:49 (sixteen years ago) link

before i moved in with jen our sunday morning ritual was doing the online crossword in the irish times, euro spellings fucked us every time.

chicago kevin, Friday, 7 December 2007 18:50 (sixteen years ago) link

i have an as yet unfulfilled fantasy about sunday morning in bed, including a lady, coffee, and crosswords. maybe waffles.

Jordan, Friday, 7 December 2007 19:21 (sixteen years ago) link

my left eye has been twitching uncontrollably for the last few days, wtf

Jordan, Friday, 7 December 2007 19:22 (sixteen years ago) link

Hey, what does "FTW" stand for?

Jesse, Friday, 7 December 2007 19:23 (sixteen years ago) link

for the win

Jordan, Friday, 7 December 2007 19:23 (sixteen years ago) link

jordan, don't be greedy. i'd settle for a sunday in bed with any one of those things.

chicago kevin, Friday, 7 December 2007 19:24 (sixteen years ago) link

is it really so much to ask?!

Jordan, Friday, 7 December 2007 19:25 (sixteen years ago) link

(i guess the lady is the key part that i've been missing)

Jordan, Friday, 7 December 2007 19:26 (sixteen years ago) link

Fuck The World

Laurel, Friday, 7 December 2007 19:26 (sixteen years ago) link

waffles in bed seems like a bad idea to me, especially if they have maple syrup on (which they must do). i can't even imagine having syrup seeping into the mattress.

colette, Friday, 7 December 2007 19:27 (sixteen years ago) link

Fear The Waffles

chicago kevin, Friday, 7 December 2007 19:28 (sixteen years ago) link

i can't even imagine having syrup seeping into the mattress.

of all the things that could seep into a mattress maple syrup is probably the most innocuous.

chicago kevin, Friday, 7 December 2007 19:28 (sixteen years ago) link

just don't use too much syrup, waffles are nature's syrup holders. or sometimes i make sour cream waffles and top with sour cream.

Jordan, Friday, 7 December 2007 19:30 (sixteen years ago) link

btw, i have my cold brew coffee cold brewing at home. or, i guess it brewed last night, and now the concentrate is draining. i'm a little skeptical of the microwaving part, but i look forward to not having to make coffee for at least two weeks.
