strange puzzle for me today. i got totally, totally stuck in the middle on insane clues 32a, 33d, 43a, 51a and had never heard of a THROWAWAY society. having LTD instead of YTD at 91a meant i was basically lost. i actually convinced myself there was a rebus in the dead center square, so i did not think of W for SAVE_ATER. seriously, i spent a minute thinking about SAVE(ITFORL)ATER. when i finally changed the stupid L to Y in square 91, the whole thing basically fell like a house of cards and i felt dumb.
oh, and to cap it off, i had an error at square 11. i never did figure out why TIC was a {Signature piece?}. then again, it's a pretty huge stretch for BIC, too.
