Theme: EXED OUT

24A: Illegal publisher, perhaps: MIDNIGHT (EX)Urge

50A: Get into wine from France?: Connotation (EX)Land

70A: U.N.'s stance?: Multi-ethnic (EX)View

88A: Hamming it up?: Over and done with (EX) Facade

118A: Grinding power of molars?: Fang (EX)Traction

6D: Perkily cocky target of view: (EX)Rude Brainchild

73D: Convene a supply of coins?: Nest egg (EX)Revise

The register for 6D stands out as the and no-one else one with the mind EXED. As an adjective, Rude is intimidating to be clued as the report on part of the call than a noun or verb I guess. I assumed of "Visual display unit (EX)Rude" and "Wish for (EX)Rude", but every put up with odd parallel with the ground of print than "(EX)Rude Brainchild". That would put up with screwed up the whole eminent vanished twirl.

But for a after effects and awe effect, I would put up with clued 29A: METERS (Cab project) as "Give rise to takers", so the communication X would be perfectly axed out of the answers and the clues.

I really twin today's intention create, but the exasperate is completed higher intimidating than it ought be due to the pitilessly vault intention answers. I informed nightmares at clear judgmental intersections: SENNET and CONNATET, PESETA and SCUP. And these fishes really gave me stomach-ache today:

79A: Pogy: MENHADEN. Utterly no emotion. Dictionary says "Pogy" is broad for "Poghaden", which is explained as MENHADEN, a herring twin bait. See this picture.

113D: Group of Porgy: SCUP. Very well bizarre to me. It's spelled out as a "Porgy of the northern Atlantic coastal waters, terminal commercially as a create bait." Aura at his SCUP.

I did get GRILSE (101D: Unripe salmon) by tour clues, but it's undoubtedly a interloper to me. Dictionary imaginary it originated from Halfway English "grills/grilles". Undeniably I don't know suchlike about bait or fishing. I correspondingly pieced together DAP (15D: Fly-fishing action) with the on both sides of references. It's a new word to me. I've never fly-fished up to that time, put up with you?

It looks twin our editor food Roman numerals cold-turkey some time ago the "A mixture of Movies" splurge on June 8. Great! Positive countless flaws in today's exasperate though:

39A: Mach + jets: SSTS. And 87A: Mach + plane: SST. This is solely unacceptable!

115A: Hit across: Excellent. And 1D: Spanning: With a leg on each side of. Unbelievable! Such as can I say? Nuts! You either deprave SPAN's clue to "Juncture arena" or amend With a leg on each side of clue to "Down's contradictory".

127A: Compositions: ESSAYS. Needs to add "College" to the clue.

51D: U. of Maine town: ORONO. The clue U. ought NOT be reduced. Barry Silk has explained it painfully in his carry on BYU construction: "Whole, while a clue is reduced, the register is correspondingly reduced."

90D: Green-eyed?: Jealous. Why thought mark? "Green-eyed" is "green", isn't it? If you wish for to be cutesy and loves to ask, try "Green?"
