[NellyLunatic1980]

Rules: viewtopic.php?p=40443#40443

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:


Alternate link: http://www.angelfire.com/ky3/nellylunat ... 26qod.html

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

Answers are due by Thursday at 5 PM Eastern.

I heard a rumor that tomorrow’s QoD will be hosted by a special guest.

This is exciting! I've never done a crossword before, and I love to try new things. I had to print out the design and stare at it a lot.

1. 43-Across: “Dome” or “turf” starter -- ASTRO
2. 43-Down: Unit of currency, perhaps -- AMPERE
3. 34-Across: Gun rights -- SECONDAMENDMENT
4. 25-Down: Football brothers Michael and Marcus -- VICKS (Grrrrrr.)
5. 20-Down: Dallas suburb -- PLANO
6. 19-Across: A type of cream you eat -- WHIPPING
7. 1-Down: Catty remark? -- MEOW
8. 26-Down: Dryad or nereid -- NYMPH
9. 32-Across: It precedes eleison -- KYRIE
10. 26-Across: Wesley Clark used to command it -- NATO
11. 9-Down: Marked for life? -- TATTOOED
12. 21-Across: Public restroom enclosure -- STALL
13. 35-Down: Sally Field’s Oscar-winning vehicle -- NORMA RAE
14. 61-Across: You lose it when you stand up -- LAP (I don't have one, but my mom does.)
15. 50-Down: One of three squares a day -- MEAL

CROSSWORD EXTRA
49-Across: Soulja Boy’s hip-hop dance -- I can't figure this out. The only Soulja Boy dance I've seen on television doesn't fit here unless "MOTOR" is spelled "MOTOK," and I'm wrong about at least four other words that crisscross. Crosswords are hardhardhard!

Woo-hoo, nobody else spelled out their answers as instructed. I guess I'm the only one who gets any points!

I was trying to fit "Gun Rights " into _ _ _ E _, since I misread the 54 in the diagram as a 34. I had no prayer of coming up with VICKS without a crossing letter, and I'm doubtful I would have gotten it even with the C.

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.

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".
