Because you're my friends and you're trying to help me with my problem, I'm not going to mention the Universal puzzle that crossed OOOLA with OOOOO. Instead, I'll just note that I printed out all 44 of The Week's current-events crosswords yesterday. Mmm, mmm, Gordon.

I might not have noticed this if I hadn't solved both puzzles on the same day. The Universal Syndicate puzzles of 11/10 ("Weather Watch" by Kelly Mellon) and 11/22 ("How's the Weather" by Mark Howard) have identical theme answers and grid design, but only one identically-filled corner. I wonder if either of those "constructors" are real people.
Meanwhile... clearly Rich Norris has once again run out of Monday puzzles. Ouch.

Yesterday I sent Peter Gordon a request for a Fireball Crosswords custom entry -- a semi-obscure TV show that's 15 letters long. Turns out that it's one of his favorite shows too, and he was already considering a theme using it! Back to the drawing board...
