20A
20A"Regale me with tales of Queens!"[-------------]
came to me first, and I still like that answer, but now that the puzzle is complete I don't feel like the themed answers really hold up to scrutiny. This was an early puzzle for me and I'm not especially happy with it. I was glad to work in 40D
40DLyle Thompson's sport[--------]
, though it's fairly nice, but I really don't like 41D
41DMore lustrous[--------]
as an answer -- had to settle for it to make the grid work. - CD
