Boardwalk Empirical (Salon 15)
15 April, 2013
Midway through Season 2 of Boardwalk Empire, a series that gets richer and darker by the episode – do yourself a favour. Last night Eli Thompson wants his kid to leave the garage, so asks the boy to fetch a left-handed beebletzer.
Do you have a similar ‘apprentice prank’ to relate? I once worked at a pub, where we’d tell the new guy to get a Spring Glen Shiraz from the wine room. The room existed; the wine didn’t. Ever been punk’d with striped paint, a reflux cable or platinum skyhooks? Or is there a BS term that does the office rounds?
And a puzzle to prime your morning, plays with director’s cut. What famous director, when cut by one letter, creates a director’s film-making consideration? And if TONE (or LIVER or ERST) can be cut from OLIVER STONE, what directors can produce the cuts below?
- FELL
- PIKE
- IDLY
- TOP
- IDLE
- SCAM
- TINT
- ROUGH
Blab below. And make your own (with byline and number.)
And yes, here’s the post where we get to adore/abhor the best/worst of the week’s Brit puzzles, most notably from The Times (in the Oz) and The Guardian. Solve and share right here.
