I slept with my arm wrapped around my neck and it went numb and scared the hell out of me because I thought a stranger was trying to smother me. I once couldn't feel my face because it fell asleep. Nothing really gave me pause except for wondering who would sing about not feeling his face. I think there's a shoe museum in her name somewhere in the Philippines.

I guess if you are starving and the only thing in the fridge is a bottle of mustard and the one clean utensil you have is a spoo, then, well, I suppose you'd use a spoon. Well, except that part of POUPON being eaten with a spoon. Maybe decade.ĬASHIER: "Would you like the milk in a bag, sir?" The clue for ODE is one of the best of the year. I appreciated that 1A is DISH and that it crosses STIR. The whose in the clue for the reveal requires a little thought, but I see how it works. Bad jokes, sad jokes, fad jokes… don’t know if DAD would’ve occurred to me. I guessed wrong and had “food” for the walnut and forgot to guess the joke. Speaking of that song, I had a dnf ‘cause I didn’t know THE WEEKND or DAD jokes. (I couldn’t feel my face for about a week once.

Do people put them in moats as extra incentive against attack? Ya know – the dreaded MOAT EEL?ĭidn’t know there was a song I Can’t Feel My Face.
