Saturday, June 29, 2024 - No JUNKART in today's gri... OHWAIT, we stand corrected 🙄
In a remarkable role reversal, Jean found today's crossword to be epically and especially tough, but after inexplicably uttering the phrase "hold my beer", managed to wrestle said puzzle into submission, in a legendary, marathon session which will no doubt inspire many lusty tales of cruciverbial derring-do.

Wednesday, June 26, 2024 - Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble
