Can't remmeber if this got mentioned in a Crosswords thread or not, but in any case, they're relaunching it with the promise of twice-weekly updates by Treadway and Ritch Colbert.  In our latest installment, we find out that Reese Wihtherspoon is a fan of the show!

And how to spell "Witherspoon."  "Remember," you'll have to look up on your own.  ;)

A celebrity week would be interesting, though I can't see Clinton playing.  Not, at least, unless Ty gets a letter-turner counterpart.

In comments to an earlier post, there are some pretty amusing suggestions about how to "fix" the game.

In my defense, that's clearly a typo and not a misspelling.  And yes, I see a difference!

What's really sad is that if the writers' strike had continued much longer, he may have gotten his prime-time special...

Customer: "Did you hear about that young celebrity that just got arrested for killing her husband??"
Me: "No, who?"
Customer: "I can't think of her name... She stabbed him to death with one of those giant steak carving forks."
Me: "What? Who?"
Customer: "Yeah, it was all over the news. God, if I could just think of her name... It's Reece..."
Me: "WITHERSPOON?!"
Customer: "No, with a fork!"
