Crossword	Date	Comment
Domino	12 January 2023, 7:46	...
Mounted Knight	12 January 2023, 7:36	+1.
A kitten	12 January 2023, 5:01	Indeed.
Pow!	11 January 2023, 5:05	... said the school child to his teacher. Some of us don't consider this entertainment. Others of you will ridicule our concern. Others are dead.
Rebus is a proverb	9 January 2023, 7:19	Likewise; I can't make any sense of it. A trowel at upper right? A gate and some leaves? Quotation marks? "b = 0" or "6 = 0"?
Gibson Flying V Guitar	8 January 2023, 22:57	Thanks for the clarification. When Henry IV said that he would put bleach in his tea before cream, I thought he meant that they should be added in that order; so I tried it for a while but I didn't like it. I stuck with the cream, though, and that proved to be a gateway drug to maple syrup, apple juice, and all the rest. Anyway, Henry would be proud that you're still preaching his gospel
Beach Umbrella	8 January 2023, 5:06	Canned, jammed, pickled -- that pretty much covers it. "This one's for you", three times, while there actually are two. And I thought the holy trinity was confusing. (Seriously, though, your reply is the only thing that makes any sense in all of this.)
Ship ahoy!	8 January 2023, 4:58	... or Greenpeace.
Beach Umbrella	7 January 2023, 4:31	In a ball, with a book ... that just doesn't seem practical; but I'll wait for John-Bob's opinion.
Oink	7 January 2023, 4:30	Pork bellies? I suppose so; safer than bitcoin, anyway.
Berry	4 January 2023, 19:54	... and I plead guilty, your honour. I can't help myself.
Berry	4 January 2023, 19:53	Good, thanks.
Ice Tea in a Mason Jar, the Way God Intended	4 January 2023, 0:02	He well might. Thor spends a few weeks in Yorkshire most winters, to get a break from the blizzards.
Sacrifice	3 January 2023, 23:55	... another one that I can't figure out. I see suggestions of crucifixion, jay-walking, GMO gardening, hang-gliding, but no one of those comes together. Can anyone explain?
Rabbit	2 January 2023, 7:15	Not yet; Chinese new year is a few weeks away.
Wedding Day	2 January 2023, 6:41	Two rings.
Loser	2 January 2023, 0:58	Can someone explain?
Happy New Nonogram Year	1 January 2023, 3:56	Well said.
Ice Tea in a Mason Jar, the Way God Intended	1 January 2023, 3:13	We seem to be ganging up on you, John-Bob. Don't let it drag you down, we've always been a different breed out here in the colonies. And with so many gods to chose from, we have no trouble choosing one who intends things the way we like.
Teapot	1 January 2023, 3:07	Oops, I meant: Purists outside of Yorkshire add milk to their cup first, and pour the hot tea over it. Only a lunatic would pour boiling water over milk (but to each their own, I don't criticise).
Teapot	31 December 2022, 22:15	Likewise, except not incensed.
Teapot	31 December 2022, 22:14	As I said: bothered, severely. Purists outside of Yorkshire add milk to their cup (not mug) first, and pour (not pore) the boiling water over it. They say that it scalds the milk. Some purists in China wash their tea before brewing it. Times change, people adapt traditions to their local conditions, civilisations crumble. Do what you like with your tea.
Wedding Day	31 December 2022, 6:58	And not just any prime; a Mersenne prime.
The Nano-Gram's Passion	31 December 2022, 6:55	I know the feeling well. You have my sympathy.
Teapot	31 December 2022, 6:53	I'll answer while Rickshaw's time zone is asleep: add whatever you want. The purists won't be bothered by milk, but if they are bothered by anything that you want to add (such as cream; cream will bother them, severely), add it anyway. Honey, spices, maple syrup, whisky (bourbon, in your neighbourhood?), apple juice -- anything goes.
The Nano-Gram's Passion	31 December 2022, 2:47	Oops, I got it wrong too; "The-Nono-Gram".
The Nano-Gram's Passion	31 December 2022, 2:45	A nanogram is a tiny mass. The Nono-gram is your wife. You would do well to keep those straight. (Her grandmother might be the Nana-gram, but don't worry about that for now.)
Fire Extinguisher	30 December 2022, 22:48	Apparently Mr Wonderful's does.
Woman on Sunday Afternoon -- Seurat	30 December 2022, 22:35	...which was expanded upon by the Cubists.
Teapot	29 December 2022, 0:24	... can't argue with that.
Teapot	28 December 2022, 22:20	That's a different hoax (but: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gb3mFGkKzn4)
Teapot	28 December 2022, 10:01	Surely you don't believe in that Piltshaw hoax?
Route 66	28 December 2022, 2:15	... in a self-driving car, that solves your nonogram while you have a nap.
Menorah	25 December 2022, 0:10	Clarification is good, I always welcome it. My English is not perfect, either, but it's the only language I've got.
Longboat	24 December 2022, 6:31	I know -- it's like an entirely different medium. But an artist who is driven by the market is not an artist ... you've got to do what your spirit (or your famous muse?) moves you to do.
Odin on Sleipnir	24 December 2022, 4:32	That's one for the hall of fame.
Longboat	24 December 2022, 4:31	God rejse, but I can't go with you ... I don't do puzzles that don't fit entirely on my monitor.
Beach Sunset	24 December 2022, 2:14	Ok, off-kilter doesn't bother me, I was just confused (and I kind of liked it as the view through eyeglasses). Doing it as a surprise was brilliant. Now that you're here, I hope you'll stay.
Menorah	24 December 2022, 2:12	Thanks, you're right -- "hanukkiah" is more precise and avoids confusion.
Bath Time	23 December 2022, 19:52	Aha, some insider information. No, not everyone. Thanks for the explanation. It all makes sense now.
Beach Sunset	23 December 2022, 18:34	No comment.
Bath Time	23 December 2022, 18:19	That could be a towel hanging on a rack, that would be more likely than toilet paper, tho' the torn corner fits your theory better.
Beach Sunset	23 December 2022, 18:17	Better you should give it away. If you're suggesting that the tree is above the line and the shadow is below it, then the shadow is on the wrong side relative to the sun. I wondered whether the jagged horizontal line is a low-resolution rendering of the curvature of the earth, but that would put the tree on the horizon, floating on the ocean. Or aybe it's a windmill, with its base refracted at the surface.
Beach Sunset	23 December 2022, 11:04	... what evil lurks in the hearts of men? I don't care about that, I just want to know what I'm looking at.
Bath Time	23 December 2022, 8:29	Another confusing one -- a floating head, wearing Buster Keaton's hat? Water damage? There appears to be a window, but it's not where one would one would be expected to be found beside a bathtub; maybe it's another clue to the mystery.
Beach Sunset	23 December 2022, 8:18	All those comments, and no one asking for explanation? Or am I missing something obvious? Is it the view partly through, partly over the top of, one's glasses?
Menorah	23 December 2022, 7:38	As I understand it, any lamp is a menorah, so calling a hanukkiah a "menorah" is correct, even a single candle with no religious connection is a menorah. Usually, though, "menorah" refers to the 7-candle version.
Menorah	23 December 2022, 7:28	I suppose it could be that, too, but I intended "dig it".
Man in Suit	22 December 2022, 9:01	I know; don't mind me, I'm contrary even when I'm in complete agreement.
