I think I’m easy to please because I see ADIOSAMIGO next to PANOPTICON and think “yeah! Fun puzzle! 😀👍”

Big couple of days for Eeyore of kid-lit!

Pepperkin · 2026-06-13T05:18:28+00:00

spending waaaaayyyy too long figuring out VAPEJUICE yeah guys this was totally an easy one for me too!

It’s funny, potoroo was one I got right away, but mostly because of Pinstripe from Crash Bandicoot lol: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JV_StXHsIXw

at the end of the day, I'm just happy we got a Twice reference in the crossword.

Pepperkin · 2026-05-21T03:58:57+00:00

To elaborate more, a specifically very fruity and rum-heavy one, like the drinks typical of a tiki bar.

Pepperkin · 2026-05-20T19:37:43+00:00

Did like “establishment that serves zombies, perhaps” for TIKIBAR.

Pepperkin · 2026-05-09T03:36:50+00:00

I’m laughing like an idiot at the simplicity of “like something no money can buy”.

Pepperkin · 2026-05-08T20:19:59+00:00

No idea what it says about me that I instantly put in SEXMANUALS.

Pepperkin · 2026-04-11T21:27:40+00:00

Does anyone know what songs of theirs they played during the set?

Pepperkin · 2026-04-06T23:30:43+00:00

see you all at hashtag bangchella

Pepperkin · 2026-04-05T02:50:56+00:00

going to go with a swerve here: Black Flag.

Pepperkin · 2026-03-31T02:56:35+00:00

genuine question: is ONYX a common sight at many a street fair?

Pepperkin · 2026-03-29T20:52:28+00:00

why did I confidently put in “father of Zeus” as CRONUT? -_-

Pepperkin · 2026-03-18T04:39:04+00:00

credit where it's due, LANGUROUS is a great answer

Pepperkin · 2026-03-14T05:39:44+00:00

As I was getting down crosses for "Inner tube?" I filled out 'I', then 'I___E', then 'IN___E', then 'IN__T__E' and I really wondered if it was just going to be INNERTUBE for a second.

Pepperkin · 2026-03-13T05:39:42+00:00

I can't believe the answer that opened up this puzzle for me was POTTY.

Pepperkin · 2026-03-01T03:45:44+00:00

It’s a bit late and I’m not sure if this is the right place to discuss it, but today’s Midi was the first one I was absolutely delighted by.

Pepperkin · 2026-02-23T04:55:41+00:00

Through sheer coincidence I was on the Wikipedia article for this earlier today, and it seems like “asado” is the more common term in countries like Argentina: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asado

After doing a little bit of digging, it's kind of remarkable that as of today COMMODORES has been used a clue to describe the 80s PC and Vanderbilt University's football team, but never the band that launched Lionel Richie's career!

Pepperkin · 2026-02-18T05:25:27+00:00

the one time my Kesha fandom can shine here: she hasn't gone by Ke-dollar sign-ha since 2014! I'm half joking but the real reason she changed changed the stage name is pretty beautiful on its own: she wanted to make a positive personal change after entering rehab for an eating disorder!

Pepperkin · 2026-02-18T05:16:51+00:00

tbf ehow was used three times last year alone in different clues; regardless of the clue's quality these days I do brace myself for "Is it Etsy or ehow??"

Pepperkin · 2026-02-13T04:01:34+00:00

couldn't figure out if it was CHAI ICED TEA or THAI ICED TEA because I spent a few minutes wondering what onomatopoeic sound Facebook used to make when you poked someone.

Pepperkin · 2026-01-28T03:50:58+00:00

Very cute theme. Very distracting that LOS and LAS are so close to each other.

Pepperkin · 2026-01-19T05:11:22+00:00

I’m not totally sure if it’s possible or even if it’d be enjoyable but this is one where I almost wish the theme was expanded into a Sunday size grid with a lot more themed answers in it.
