Tuesday Quicky

Special bonus puzzle. Woo hoo! :-D

I read BEQ's latest post Monday night and promptly made this grid.

Fair warning: Even the least tipsy notions may, in this day and age, become reality. Isn't that the very reason they say that you should be very careful what you wish for?

Another Themeless

I thought I might try to tie this all together as a mini-themed puzzle with a war motif. But then I thought "nah".

Bullshit Theme

About a year and a half ago BEQ (that's Brendan Emmett Quigley, to you prosecutors out there) posted a poignant thesis on the top 10 bullshit themes used by crossword constructors.

I, being perpetually at a loss for decent theme ideas, have reflected back on BEQ's post and have decided to do a bullshit theme.

Yes.

A bullshit theme it shall be.
