Thread Name: BS: Crosswords
Subject: RE: BS: Crosswords
Will Fly,
it's reassuring to know that
I am not the only Bear of Little Brain out here.

A close relative included newspaper crosswords in their daily routine. And could cheerfully carry on about same,
in conversations afterwards (or, should I say, conversations between puzzles).

Moving to the East Coast of the US for university,
I somehow encountered the London Sunday Times crossword.
I'm not certain how, as it was NOT from the London Sunday Times
but printed, with permission, in some local sheet or other.

So, to tease my relative,
I saved up several of these notorious crosswords
and was careful to save up their answer-diagrams as well.
Then shipped them in the mail to said relative.

Who, when I was back for a family holiday/reunion,
marched up to me, and intoned,
in their most menacing manner:
"If.
You Ever.
Send Me One Of Those.
Again.
I Will KILL YOU."
