gridCOMMENTS

No Milk Today

Hey, Grid fans. This is a very, very busy week in Electric Mattland, so there's no Grid this issue. Also, I'm highly disorganized, so while I have all of the submissions from the last regular issue, I haven't marked them yet. So, you'll have to wait on that too.

What I do have to keep you folks busy is the following: can you devise a six by six Grid with no black squares, and all words being proper crossword entries? (By that I mean that ordinary English words, including those designated obsolete, are permitted, as are proper names of people and places.) The winner of next issue's Grid Prize will be the person who can invent the best such square. Submissions are due by next Production Night, which you can surely find elsewhere in the issue... I don't know when it is, no one tells me anything. Either drop your answer in the BLACK BOX or e-mail it to me: mwalsh@alumni.uwaterloo.ca. [Get solutions in by next Monday, July 24th. Yeah, it's not much time, but the end of term sort of crept up on us. Besides, just think, if you're the only one who manages to figure out a solution over the weekend the prize is yours! — HoloEd]

And a gridQUESTION: Ever notice how drinking's like war? Discuss.

Tata, all,

Matt in the Hat
