The Denizens of WordPlay


There are those of us who share a harmless interest in (um, addiction to?) crossword puzzles--most especially those in The New York Times.  Once we've solved the daily puzzle (or not) we visit WordPlay, the crossword blog hosted by Deb Amlen, and post our own 'take' on the day's challenge.  (The day I signed up I must have been in a mood--hence the Mean Old Lady sobriquet.)  

Here are pictures of a few of 'the regulars,' generously shared in response to a suggestion from one of the bunch.  (I'll add more as they come.)  Now we'll have faces for those to whom we've been talking all this time!

  2. Sacre Bleu! MOL, who is this impostor pretending to be Moi? How dare he take the Liberte of posting his tres ugly puss on your blog!
    I have no other choice than to introduce (after I locate his sorry derriere, but of course) this pathetic poseur to my dear close ami, Lady Guillotine, to be-head him off at the pass, lest he forward even more photos, not nearly as Alain Delon-like handsome, as is this particular one. WHH
