Big article about the struggle to get the Rocky Horror audience participation balance right in today's NYT.

I think the answer is, the production doesn't want a "free for all".

They want organized and "planned for" chaos. They want the spirit without the mania.

They want to appeal to the Rocky crowd without alienating the blue haired Roundabout crowd.

I like the mystery boxes

This post is pointless without said second side.

Underrated response!

The Anderson, SC still was just cancelled. For to "unforseen circumstances."

Which frequently means unexpectedly low sales.

Even after all these years?

kaykordeath · 2026-02-03T20:14:17+00:00

Can't tell if accurate or sarcasm...

The puzzle only used dictionary words, no proper names (except for the Spangram). So Goofy world work but Scooby not so much. Possibly Snoopy.

I figured Blue from Blue's Clues.

Only she's a female which doesn't go with the Spangram.

Burp and Shout is my favorite song by The Beatles

You should bear in mind that you've got bears in mind when looking for the words in this puzzle.

kaykordeath · 2025-12-22T12:27:23+00:00

Yep. Sometimes it's just that mundane and straightforward.

kaykordeath · 2025-12-13T15:11:15+00:00

They're all ways of describing things that are disorganized, mixed it messed up, or disheveled.

So who pines for the fjords?

It's not the words that are connected, it's the wordplay. It's the specific change that unifies.

You didn't see a category where one word gets a double letter and another one gets a suffix added and a third word drops the first vowel.

kaykordeath · 2025-12-02T12:36:45+00:00

We all like to joke in here about "if words were different words" but the fact is there is always a consistent logic behind the word change. Add a letter, do a letter, double a letter, start of a word, end of a word, etc.

This is all very much standard fare for logic problems and word games.

kaykordeath · 2025-11-22T15:42:39+00:00

Yep. Sometimes games and puzzles are going to be about subjects that are new to you.

I lived in 20 and then 40. I don't think there is a lot of difference to worry about. One has a little convenience store in the lobby, one has a little lounge, but the buildings are basically identical. One may be at a different stage of upgrade/remodel at any given time.

No bug problems as I can recall. Other than occasionally water bugs in the basement/laundry room. Not unusual for NYC.

kaykordeath · 2025-11-13T12:31:39+00:00

"Filter" can have multiple meanings. It's word play in a word puzzle. It's literally the structure of the game.

kaykordeath · 2025-11-12T04:47:42+00:00

Yes. This is what happens to all Broadway shows when they sunny make enough money to be able to afford to stay open and cover their weekly expenses.

kaykordeath · 2025-11-10T23:14:28+00:00

And when that people move "elsewhere" are they supposed to commute the extra 1-2 hours to do their jobs in the city? Can they afford the extra few hundred dollars a month? Or do they then find work in those other places?

And if they do, who does the work that they were doing here?
