I would've said SAW LOGS, not SAW WOOD, so that was strange.
What is there even to say? The double-letter thing occasionally leads to some interesting fill, like " I INSIST" (27A: "No, no, it's my treat") and CHUKKERS (which, in a weird coincidence, I just encountered accidentally in the dictionary the other day) ( 36A: Time periods in a polo match). Add to that a highly segmented grid that offers very little mid-solve pleasure-with no theme answers to carry you through the puzzle or anchor you to the theme in any way-and you get a really disappointing Sunday. I expect the joke to Make Sense and I expect it to Land. to make a dime? Between being cornball and being confusing, this puzzle strikes me as quite poor, *especially* for Patrick Berry. Why is doubling it funny? This seems an aaaaaawfully long (and dull) way to go for some kind of simple math joke. but I don't see how doubling the quote is funny / cute / anything. I've been sitting here waiting, hoping someone on Twitter or Facebook will confirm the theme for me. (wikipedia) (they were in the Premier League, but they *just* got relegated, wah WAH.) In June 2016, the club was sold by American businessman Randy Lerner to Recon Group, owned by Chinese businessman Dr Tony Jiantong Xia. They were also founding members of the Premier League in 1992.
Aston Villa were the originators and founding members of the Football League in 1888. Founded in 1874, they have played at their current home ground, Villa Park, since 1897.
#CLASSIC YOGI BERRA QUOTES DEJA VU PROFESSIONAL#
Word of the Day: AS TON Villa( 59D: _ Villa (English football club)) -Īston Villa Football Club ( / ˈ æ s t ən ˈ v ɪ l ə/ nicknamed Villa, The Villa, The Villans, The Lions) is a professional association football club based in Aston, Birmingham, that plays in the Championship, the second level of English football. Maybe something having to do with the idea of not having "two nickels to rub together"? And the adjacent (doubled) letters represent that. then? Honestly, at the moment I don't understand. THEME: "Double Quote" - double letters throughout grid: when you read them in order (top down, left to right) you get a quote from YOGI BERRA ( 114A: Speaker of this puzzle's "double quote"): " A NICKEL AIN'T WORTH A DIME ANYMORE" since the quote is doubled.
