They're laid out horizontally, reversed, vertically (both up and down) & diagonally.


I cry "foul" and won't eat the wordsearch after all!

I wonder if Invictus realizes how he sounds when talking in that tone of voice

I was just practicing my "DT" impersonation... Did anybody find "DT" in the wordsearch?

Right next to me, actually. BTW, you're not allowed to use my initial. Find your own. And you and certain friends owe me a Mexican dinner.
(Notice how cleverly I changed it from lunch to dinner, and then have them paying for it. And people think I'm nice. Ha!)

Your initial was the only "V" I could find in the puzzle!

I had a big plate of chile rellenos tonight, thankyouverymuchma'am. Dinner will be fine -- I can eat there 5 days a week if given the opportunity. Just bear in mind that the flan is seriously good & the fried ice cream is a waistline's downfall. AE said the only fault he could find is that they don't serve Negro Modelo. (Dos Equis & Tecate, si. Negro Modelo, no.) Also, they're a little shorthanded on the waitstaff, since one owner is out right now with a new baby girl () & the other's wife is expecting the middle of September.

BTW, since we're talking about cool juxtapositions on the puzzle, I thought it was cool how "MESS" comes right out of "THAMES" as THAMESS.

You eat some of those chile rellenos & you will also be in a rather good mood

And for hungry Voter: Medio camino a La Costa donde 49 cruz 26. El restaurante se llama "Perico's." ¡Alimento muy bueno!

In the immortal words of Alan Luddite, "Time's up!"

There were three words/phrases in the original puzzle that were not reported:

ANGIEDVORAK - Col 4, down, letters 3-13
IDOT - Col 7, up, letters 12-9
SATANHADME - Col 10, down, letters 3-12

We're especially disappointed that, while folks caught the LVN/Seeker & Thames/Mess combinations nobody saw how IDOT & TROLL were strung together into IDOTROLL...

Oh well, until next time, enjoy your last week before all hell breaks loose!

I feel constrained to lodge an official protest with the proper international authorities: I did report the appearance of the lovely Ms. Dvorak.

Symp, it's DR. Dvorak. That's one of the main things people have complained about (men are Dr. and women are Mrs.) -- can't fuss about it if we do it too.

(And since I know Symp, I know it's a slip.)

Sorry!    Just to be safe, I also withdraw the adjective!

Now that the proper title has been added & the improper adjective withdrawn, the judges are pleased to give "Southern Sympathizer" full credit for finding the offending words in the puzzle.

Now all that's left is for me to figure out what the heck that's a picture of!

Seriously, that was fun and very creative on someone's part. Thanks for the laughs!
