MEOW #129 Body Count

A weekly meta crossword on the forum started by member Josh (aka madhatter5). These puzzles are often very creative with solving mechanisms out of the norm and skewing towards the more challenging. Puzzles are posted every Wednesday, and the solution appears the following Tuesday.

Well, it appears that everyone who is going to solve this has done so. It has been two days since there was any activity, and since I have a rather full day tomorrow I am going to post the reveal today. If you are still slogging away, then avert your eyes please!

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Hi @DrTom, is it possible to put the image inside spoiler tags so Mikey doesn't accidentally see it? :)

Excellent idea, but unfortunately the spoiler tag only seems to work on text not pictures. I've tried in the past to no avail...

Too kind to think of me, honestly, haha! I'm a meta completist, so even if I didn't quite make the deadline, I'll try to pull it out! Didn't see it yet and will tackle it soon. :D

After the deadline, maybe? Not sure. But the cat is out of the bag and now sad I left her in there for so long. Never again, Ginger Cat! (Fun puzzle too.)

And coming in at the last moment - MikeyG. Maybe I need to start a buzzer beater badge?

49 MikeyG

So just one shy of the half century mark. That does my heart (and eyes and ears and digits and ribs and teeth and limbs) good!

Ginger Cat deserves an extra belly rub for her troubles.

I don't know if this is a ginger cat thing or not, but my ginger cat (not named Ginger Cat!) loves to have his belly rubbed.

Also speaking of ginger cats, are you familiar with Jorts and his torty friend Jean? See pinned tweet here: https://twitter.com/JortsTheCat

This was a fun one, once I got past trying to figure out what SEAN and TEMPE had to do with anything (i.e., being fixated on the long answers). :lol:

Glad you enjoyed it, yeah we are creatures of habit. I was afraid that people would be expecting that, but I made the themers, hopefully, very evident anatomically? I wanted you to keep your Eyes and Ears open😁

Fun puzzle but I'm stumped by 33A: "Some linemen", and the answer is "RTB". Help, anyone?
