Lions and Lionesses—

The Killer Crossword is an extension of the club meetings. You are not bidding on a badge or paying a fine, but using the little intelligence you have left to attempt to win a free meal. For most of us a free meal is not worth the effort, but we have enough competitive and anal members to make this online venture a success. Your name will be singled out and you will come forward to receive your money if you succeed. Further, your name will be enshrined on a large club napkin to be displayed at the Installation Night Dinner. Sudoku freaks, go count from zero to nine. We are human. We like words.

This is killer crossword time.

Lion Pat ... Lion Pat ... Lion Pat— a world record on 50's rock this month: one hour and twelve seconds, the same amount of time it takes an Ophirean to shag a sheep. It will take a lot of time for the Lords of Lozanos to process that. In the mean time....

This month’s crossword requires you to put on your TV thinking cap as well as your skills in math. The critical words will all ask you to think of a TV show that has a number in its title. If this was music and the clue was a Three Dog Night Album, you may want to choose one, as in the song “One is the Loneliest Number. Hang tight, read the clues, and please do better than you did in cycling. Ophir residents, beware. We are now using something called language. Remember, Dr. Oz says using your left brain in crosswords helps ward of Alzheimer’s.

The First and Only Rule

Seeing that we are playing for $money$, here are the rules:

1. First correct hard copy submission to me (TJ), either in the U.S. mail or a face-to-face presentation prior to the solution being published in the online bulletin gets the prize, announced as an agenda item by the prez.  Find a way, not an excuse. (Damn, I feel like I'm coaching again!)

2. There are no more rules. Whiners will be fined. If you chose to whine, you will show up in the Mane Thing De-Clawings! All decisions are Final-Final.

Good Luck!
