26D: “M*A*S*H” star (alda) Never heard of him or the show.19D: _ Na Na (sha) that SHA WASHO crossing was a bit on the brutal side ( 22A: California Indian tribe: Var.).Cool J even referenced that in “Mama Said Knock You Out.” Brilliant. 11D: Clay, today (ali) This one still makes me laugh, even after the millionth time of running that clue.It'll be great for when we're building the outdoors kiln this summer. 9D: Brick carriers (hods) We just bought an 18” hod at Home Depot.I had the right retired number and the right city, but mixed my Boston sports teams up. 6D: Bruins' retired 4 (orr) I really wanted Joe CRONIN.43A: Queens's _ Stadium (ashe) Is this where the Mets are moving to?.Can I tweet that? Have you followed me on Twitter yet? I can't wait till I stop calling this a blog and start calling it an e-mag. 12A: Slate, e.g (emag) Great timely entry.Anyway, here's World Party singing “Ship of Fools": Then again, I did take a Renaissance Painters art appreciation class, but I got docked a couple of grades for pronouncing Titian with the second T hard. Even Hieronymous BOSCH ( 5A: “Ship of Fools” painter) didn't pose much of a challenge. I AM NOT ( 2D: “You are so!” preceder), CHEAPO ( 8D: For next to nothing, in slang), and MAHOGANY ( 10D: Reddish brown) were all gimmes, and when you're writing down all those letters in the long entries, the rest fell quick.

I also didn't fall for the HIDEHI ( 48D: Cab Calloway phrase) trap versus the more common entry HIDEHO, but I was having a Vulcan mind meld with Ed, Paula and Will on this one.

I worked my way over to the SE corner saying hi to old friends Ogden NASH ( 57D: He wrote “If called by a panther, / don't anther”) and EMILIO ( 46D: Actor Estevez).

Everybody and their brother knows the answer is SHEEP, duh. 47A: From what animals do we get catgut? is a perfect example. Seemed especially easy considering that many of the clues were older-than-dirt riddles that I've heard time and time again. If it wasn't for the fact I was also helping my wife out do some preliminary work on her W-2 while I was solving this, I probably would have broke the 4:30 mark. I blew through this one fast, but once again, I did it on paper and forgot to time myself. an exterior covering or appendage of some seeds (as of the yew) that develops after fertilization as an outgrowth from the ovule stalk THEME: Hidden crosswordese entries – four entries with old standby fill entries in the middle of other entries: (EDS, ADO, RYA and ZEAL).
