    Not sure why this one skewed tough for me: blindly filling in UNEROTIC for 10A didn't help, and choosing an Able Sister instead of a more popular video game character didn't help me with super-tricky 22A. With the exception of the bumpy surface for 19A and a preferred parse for 7D ("Start of naming"), I had a blast. I particularly liked 8A, 16A, 3D, 11D, and 17D. Your star clue here is 14D.
