    Oh! Hey! No googling required!
    • whimsy constructor · 2024-04-10T13:29:25.779Z
      Right-o! Thanks for playing, hoover!
    • HeadinHome 🤓2:06 · 2024-04-10T13:30:44.121Z
      Right up this old English major’s alley! Niiiiice.
      • whimsy constructor · 2024-04-10T21:03:50.260Z
        Loved your poetry over on the forum -- education$ well-spent -- 😄
      • boharr 2s · 2024-04-10T13:31:53.045Z
        Recital, Reading, Slam! I knew it was there. Thanks, whimsy!
        • whimsy constructor · 2024-04-10T21:04:31.256Z
          And why we provided a trio of answers!
          • boharr 2s · 2024-04-10T23:56:11.209Z
            Only one submission worked for me. But I only needed one,
        • MatthewL 🤓7:18 · 2024-04-10T13:54:35.641Z
          <Snap, Snap, Snap>. Nice one, Whimsy! Thanks for the puzzle
          • whimsy constructor · 2024-04-10T21:04:58.607Z
            Love the sound effects!
          • Hector 14:30 · 2024-04-10T13:57:42.237Z
            Really rich, a hit!
            • whimsy constructor · 2024-04-10T21:05:40.975Z
              That's the one I missed! 😄
            • woozy 20:36 · 2024-04-10T14:49:23.508Z
              Well, I underthought it for a little bit. But when it became clear there wouldn't be a second step of finding alternative entries that are verses, odes, sonnets or stanzas I realized it had to something else.
              Good puzzle.
              • whimsy constructor · 2024-04-10T21:06:19.861Z
                Thanks for playing wooz!
              • Mwoychick 🤓9:30 · 2024-04-10T15:31:17.100Z
                Thanks for the puzzle, Whimsy - it's your time to rhyme!
                • whimsy constructor · 2024-04-10T21:19:12.588Z
                  Thanks for adding a bit of parsley and sage, Mark!
                • Carolyn 2s · 2024-04-10T15:26:15.715Z
                  Nice way to start the day! Thanks
                  • whimsy constructor · 2024-04-10T21:06:59.387Z
                    Glad you enjoyed!
                  • Ergcat 12:48 · 2024-04-10T16:08:27.132Z
                    Good puzzle! I guessed Poetry Reading first but then realized “poetrySlam” was indicated by the last part of the themers!
                    • whimsy constructor · 2024-04-10T21:18:01.281Z
                      Yeah, really tried to get the fisticuff notion out there! And the noisy band in the center implied slamming doors too. Thanks for joining the chorus, Elaine!
                    • Bird Lives 3s · 2024-04-10T15:42:50.015Z
                      Never attended one --- I can't deal with violence. But it makes a great meta.
                      • whimsy constructor · 2024-04-10T21:08:56.467Z
                        😂 I've never been either; now that you've pointed out a thing or two, I think I'll steer clear!
                      • lbray53 2s · 2024-04-10T17:10:16.316Z
                        I never heard of this event. I guess I need to get out and about.
                        • whimsy constructor · 2024-04-10T21:14:56.824Z
                          Heard of but never been -- too raucous for me! (see above 😄
                        • imontoo 7s · 2024-04-10T18:58:26.997Z
                          Nice one! Thanks!
                          • whimsy constructor · 2024-04-10T21:15:05.670Z
                            Thanks for solving, Konnie!
                          • ajk 🤓8:29 · 2024-04-10T20:36:38.398Z
                            Rang faint bells but needed some google work to remind me of the exact term. Thanks. :)
                            • whimsy constructor · 2024-04-10T21:10:26.579Z
                              Yes, we included a few terms since DrTom came up with one of the alternates first.
                            • Darth 13:16 · 2024-04-11T02:10:15.212Z
                              Nice! The Doors made a loud sound that resonated with me. =) Thanks, whimsy
                              • whimsy constructor · 2024-04-12T02:19:13.877Z
                                So The Doors were your way in? 😄
                                • Darth 13:16 · 2024-04-12T13:24:53.162Z
                                  Yep. Lol😄
                              • Berto 1s · 2024-04-11T02:35:36.825Z
                                My first answer was “writers strike”, as in the ‘event’ that had us watching repeats of late night talk shows for months last year! Good thing Crosshare allows for multiple tries!
                                • whimsy constructor · 2024-04-12T02:20:10.902Z
                                  Thanks for staying the course, Berto!
                                • Philip Chow 6:17 · 2024-04-12T19:12:19.296Z
                                  thank you for the fun puzzle!... i liked the hera/zeus clue pairing... this puzzle was filled with so many whimsical clues (buzz aldrin, uriah heap, GOT stark naked)
                                  • whimsy constructor · 2024-04-12T20:00:10.459Z
