Yes! I nearly wrote that. But a bit edgier and tuned to local sensibilities.Like our Onion?

Okay, a few days ago I asked for suggestions for the Star Trek Hangman puzzle I had to host at TrekBBS, since I had no inspiration going on at the time. I used the suggestion @Arakhor offered, and it turned out well... the puzzle lasted 5 turns and then someone who rarely joins us solved it.
The puzzle he posted took me exactly ONE letter before I solved it. (it's often not the letters themselves, but the patterns of 2-letter and 3-letter words, plus punctuation that help more).
So now it's my turn again. And the bonus is that the guy who loves waiting for others to guess letters and then pounces on the answers without doing any actual work to solve it, never had a chance at either of the last two, as they went by really fast.
I count that as rave-worthy.
Pizza tonight is also rave-worthy.
C'mon, we all know that, should you ever finally engage in full-body mithosis, you would just call the child ‘Europhilos’.Not really a rave - but maybe it is better to present it as such, instead of the gray "general thought". I will be presenting (after some time...) a seminar on the presocratic philosophers and tied thinkers and notions.

I have never done that crossword. I used to do the local paper's crossword when I had a subscription, but it's been nearly 10 years since I bothered with that. I do have over 2 decades' worth of Dell and Games crossword/word/logic puzzle books on hand.I think that ‘Fun will now commence’ has seeped over from Star Trek to other areas of pop culture.
Also, since you like crosswords, do you to the NYT's weekly four-crossword backlog?
Thanks - I'll check it out!If you're interested, every week the NYT releases four old crosswords at its crosswords page without need for registration. One of them is a mini (by Joel Fagliano usually) and the other three are full-sized and of varying difficulty. Some of them take me a couple of days to solve. It's good fun, and better than Wordle which, if you know which words to start with, you just cannot lose.
I apologize, but I did not read blowhole.Fishing with Dolphins

Bottlenose dolphins help Brazilian fishermen pull in their catch, and researchers have worked out what the marine mammals get from the cooperative hunting.www.nytimes.com
Finished up a test strip of tablet weaving to make sure I have the pattern down before breaking out my silk thread.
It is based on a piece of tablet weave from the trading hub of Birka in Viking-age Sweden.
