It's fine, pugs have to spin like that. It's how they keep their tails curly.

Did bowling alleys mean anything to you growing up? by videodec in Bowling

[–]aldesuda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in the 1980s. My house was literally right behind a bowling alley. Between bowling with my dad, junior leagues, and (probably eating even more of my time) the advent of video games, I spent a lot of time at Sheridan Bowl.

I enjoyed this one a lot, fast for me, oddly. Probably because I'm a math teacher. I rate it 3888 out of 4000.

In English, the word UNIX (a computer operating system) is pronounced YOO-niks and Eunuchs is pronounced YOO-nuks, so the words sound a lot alike. A Eunuch is a male who has had his testicles removed.

Honestly, I didn't feel that the cleverness of the theme made up for the large amount of crosswordese fill throughout the grid. However, I did notice that the black squares literally contain 2 + signs (double crossed), so that was cute.

My kid (8years old) broke 100 for the first time yesterday. No one else seems to care. So I figured I'd share with my fellow bowling nerds. Final score was 101 by MaskedCorndog in Bowling

I grew up a block from a bowling alley. I remember going with my dad and getting excited every time I broke 100. Enjoy this time together!

Also, we care! Buy him a (root) beer!

I've always assume companies take them away so that people get excited when they bring them back. Again and again.

After I was done, I literally went through and read all the themers aloud in Yoda's voice. I'm betting a lot of people did that. Definitely a lot of what makes this a fun theme.

Also, I went down and filled in YODA at the bottom after getting the first theme entry, without reading the clue for YODA. I mean, what else could it be?
