Wow... I have an entirely different brain then you guys do. The WSJ puzzle was hard but at least you had a hint where to start looking. I have utterly no idea what to do with this utterly normal looking crossword and grid with its utterly normal and reasonable with no hint of oddity theme entries.

Edit: Oh, never mind. ("you see, there's this thing called 'The Internet' and ....")
Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

Ditto. Very, very ditto.

The ‘saur is out of the box!

I don’t know the show, but I believe I’ll finally break down and try an episode or two. I got the answer because of the many references I’ve seen to the show … in puzzles! Confirmed with Mr. G.

Never watched the show, but was familiar with it. Nice Sunday diversion from the WSJ and MMMM which are both driving me insane.

🦕 me. Thanks Will! Really quick solve because I hit Google immediately. I have never seen the show so it was a good thing I did. BTW, did anyone else have an issue with 56D?

Yep, all about the googles for me too… never watched this. Dino me.

Agree about 56D… I don’t get it.
