Puzzle 51

It's always nice when 13-Down makes an appearance, i'n't it?

Just another hokey themeless for your solving pleasure. I hope.

And it goes without saying.

Alien Invasion

Some day I'm gonna make a puzzle containing nothing but abbreviations and acronyms. By accident, of course.

But, not today.

34-Across

Y'know, I really should stop making puzzles and start cluing and posting them.

Let's see. Right now I've got **licks finger** five new ones and two oldies (that I just can't let go of) in the queue. And I intend to post them (somewhat) rapid-fire this holiday weekend, so hold onto your lunch.

Oh, who am I kidding. Considering the time it took to clue this one, I'll be lucky to finish the next one in time for Thanksgiving.

I'm posting this one first to get it out of the way, and for one reason: That fershlugginer northeast corner. Given the theme's necessary, unchangable fill, it was a mutha to find letters that fit together to make actual words. 11-Down could been HAWKEYE, SOCKEYE, DARK AGE, PARK AVE and even FUCK LEE (that d-Ang movie producer!), but none of them worked. Believe me, I tried.

As usual, I don't employ test solvers. So I have no idea whether this is an easy peasy puzzle or the solve from Hell. I just hope it's fun.

And, since I haven't posted a video in quite some time, here's my new favorite song:



I doubt that they're the actual Shangri-Las, but nevermind.
