Good morning, everybody, and welcome to “NellyLunatic1980's Crosswords”, where we put a new spin on America’s favorite pastime. You know how the game is played: Buzz in with the correct answer and correct spelling to earn points. If I showed you this...



... and gave you the clue “37-Down: It keeps you running”, you would say “motor” (M-O-T-O-R).


*correct answer SFX*

And now... let’s do crosswords! Here is the puzzle we will be working on:

As you can see, I gave you the word “MOTOR” to start you off. Hand on buzzers. Let’s get started.

1. 43-Across: “Dome” or “turf” starter - A-S-T-R-O (Astrodome, Astroturf)
2. 43-Down: Unit of currency, perhaps - A-M-P-E-R-E (as in electrical current)
3. 34-Across: Gun rights - S-E-C-O-N-D-A-M-E-N-D-M-E-N-T
4. 25-Down: Football brothers Michael and Marcus - V-I-C-K-S (Sorry, but one VICK doesn't fit the puzzle.)
5. 20-Down: Dallas suburb - P-L-A-N-O
6. 19-Across: A type of cream you eat - W-H-I-P-P-I-N-G
7. 1-Down: Catty remark? - M-E-O-W
8. 26-Down: Dryad or nereid - N-Y-M-P-H
9. 32-Across: It precedes eleison - K-Y-R-I-E (Kyrie eleison, which means "Lord have mercy" in Greek)
10. 26-Across: Wesley Clark used to command it - N-A-T-O
11. 9-Down: Marked for life? - T-A-T-T-O-O-E-D
12. 21-Across: Public restroom enclosure - S-T-A-L-L (Insert the Larry Craig joke of your choice here, if you haven't already. )
13. 35-Down: Sally Field’s Oscar-winning vehicle - N-O-R-M-A-R-A-E
14. 61-Across: You lose it when you stand up - L-A-P
15. 50-Down: One of three squares a day - M-E-A-L

CROSSWORD EXTRA
49-Across: Soulja Boy’s hip-hop dance - S-U-P-E-R-M-A-N (Annie was thinking CRANK DAT, but that was the name of the song, not the dance.)

fannie, mrkelley, and gsabc got perfect scores. They don't get an Xbox, $5,000, or a tropical vacation though.

aj didn't respond, so that allowed the three immediately below him to move up. Actual "Crosswords" champion plasticene is now within 10 points of claiming a Top 5 slot.

Sometime next week, I'll show you what my entire crossword puzzle looks like.

I'm not trying to appeal the scoring, but if you're preparing this crossword for submission somewhere, I've never heard of "current" being called "currency".
