this one has no special twists. i just felt like making one. early reviews are favorable. the bottom half is harder than the top half.

here are some tiger-themed proverbs:
- the child of a tiger is a tiger
- when the tiger comes down from the mountain to the plains, it is bullied by the dogs
- do not blame god for having created the tiger, but thank him for not having given it wings

i made this one recently in the hopes of auditioning to do the cryptic crossword in the nation, as frank lewis is entering semiretirement. it’s unthemed, and probably the best one so far. probably also the easiest. a romp. a joyous little caper, in a meadow of laughter and orgasms. HUZZAH!

this is my first cryptic crossword. it has no theme, and probably too many short clues, but it’s still pretty good. 28-across and 8-down are personal favorites. as with all of them, contact me if you need help. enjoy.
