Atalante - where are those puffins from? I love your whisky collection too!
ohh that's a good one
the puffins are from a very small island called North Rona to the west of the top of Scotland. No inhabitants, just birbs :)
I am going to Scotland this summer. Hope to visit Macallans.
How did you get to that island?
we were on a dive trip - its a 14 hour journey out from Orkney :D
there are easier to see puffins ....
14 hours on a boat. eek.
I actually saw lots in The Faroes in 2023!
Ok, I will pass on that boat trip

duh, you have to get over half on odd ones, so one you have to get one, three, you have to get two, five you have to get three. it's not rocket science.
Ah, HOMOET...half or more on every tile 🤣🤣 Sorry, I just find all these new acronyms (FOET) hilarious.
definitely not rocket science Hokie, and exactly how I operate too :)
and molly, it's always at least half. It's not like we stop exactly at half the words :)
ALHOET?
there ya go
get some new jargon going
A friend of Al Gore
tarpit ought to be a word
Alas, it's two words
There are some seriously weird words in this grid. an edible, sugary substance secreted by certain Asiatic beetles, forming their pupal covering???

morning
hi hursh
hurshy and the nicest kitty in the world!
:D
she's in her warming box at the moment tho
awwwww
we have a disagreement about the warming box. i feel it is for when i am not home to cuddle with, whereas she feels it is good for all the time.
Silverclaw would agree with Rilla
she used to have hers on all the time
i just went to get her out of her warming box and get her to cuddle
it's funny because of course the FIRST thing she does is say, "you're so rude!" and leave. but then about 10 seconds later she comes back.
she's very forgiving that way
Okey dokey, Hurshy and the talking cats
they don't have to TALK to communicate quite clearly
did anyone ever answer my NTPN?
i did not see it
I figured mael and possibly you would get it
can you say what it was again
guy who wiped out half the galaxy in one fell swoop
I think ata might have gotten it but didn't answer
yes because its very similar to an 8 :D
hmmmm
if it's from one of the comic universes i wouldn't know it
ah, I don't have any 8s yet
yeah, that's what I thought, hurshy
and yes, marvel
another marvel villian, carla :P
and also in Dr Who, hurshy :P
well i haven't seen all the classic doctors yet... i've just started on tom baker
so you've seen all the episodes with Rose yet
yes
well the 8 is in one of those!
perhaps i will see it when i get to whatever letter it starts with :D
it is suitably obscure but its a word you'll recognise, I'd think
well i have noticed we have Van + Halen
and Mr Drogo from Game of Thrones
Valen from Babylon 5
Arkhan from Dungeons and Dragons
it's Nerd City today!
ooh just monkeyed an odd pair of Hs
really is!
and of course kh4 noonan singh

if slightly unreasonable
focussed
i just feel like, he AGREED to be left on Ceti Alpha V, he was excited about having a planet to conquer
oh I agree
so then to blame kirk for it... like oh, he's supposed to come back and check on you, after you tried to take over his ship, jackass?
villains are always like that
lol, they're not known for being upstanding

no
all these different streaming services these days, can't afford them all

well, it's always something scottish 😜
oh, but I have the plaid
i think i might be missing the nasty one
yeah, I can't think of a snake besides that taipan
oh the other might be related to nordic heaven?
possible since I don't know that either
isn't that valhalla?
yes. be creative
hokie, change the fourth letter of the scottish one to make a 6/21
thanks, got it
oh sorry I thought that was a snake too. sorry!
oh, a russian wild horse
well then idk what i'm missing
I think tarpit should be a word. but I reckon it's two.
tr7 I think
maybe this nordic one but idk
ahhh
well I have 3 TU, 5 TE, and 6 TA
idk why i wasn't thinking TR at all
thanks, top row gray!

today's NYT mini crossword violates one of the cardinal rules of crossword puzzles
that every square has to be part of both an across and a down
