Today's Newsday puzzle by Bruce Venzke is called "Vowel Play." This is one of those puzzles where you replace a vowel and it changes the word and meaning. See the theme answers below. This will be sort of a "Wordless Friday" since I don't have the energy to write. I will post pictures instead.
17A: Human Dynamo (BALL OF FIRE). Jerry Lee Lewis plays his classic "Great Balls of Fire." Video is from 1957.
23A: Cathedral Features (BELL TOWER). Here is the largest Ivan the Terrible bell tower, the largest in the world (pictured left). Located in Moscow.
35A: Arcade Machine (BILL CHANGER). Also handy at casinos. The bill changer pictured is only $897. A mere bag of shells! On sale at Gumball.com.
40A: Cotton-Picking Pest (BOLL WEEVIL). I never knew what a boll weevil looked like. but now I do. They are pretty ugly and are as pesky as bed bugs.
Tonight at the 92nd Street Y, the Friars Club is presenting a tribute to Jerry Lewis. Rumor has it that many celebrities from Alec Baldwin to Jerry Seinfeld will be in the audience. I can't wait for this event!
When I get home, I will need plenty of shut-eye to get ready for tomorrow's tournament. I may not be able to post anything over the weekend, so until Monday. . . .
Signing off,
