    Well-done and most enjoyable, Peter, right down to the "weak-kneed" Easter egg. In this time of thanksgiving, I'm super grateful to be among such talented Muggles. It's "awwwwwwwwww"-inspiring.
    • boharr 4s · 2023-11-27T14:48:15.052Z
      Thanks, Peter!
      • imontoo 5s · 2023-11-27T14:44:56.230Z
        Nicely done, Peter! Thanks.
        • MatthewL 🤓8:16 · 2023-11-27T15:10:53.421Z
          Welp, this was a total guess. Still not sure what the mechanism is, but a solve's a solve. Thanks for the puzzle Peter! Now to try and figure it out.
          • whimsy 🤓11:19 · 2023-11-27T16:41:05.984Z
            I'm with MatthewL! But I always enjoy that pat on the back from Crosshare, so thanks, Peter!
            • Sharkicicles 2s · 2023-11-27T18:10:07.847Z
              This was my reasoning… cyber Monday, Fat Tuesday, Ash Wednesday, Holy Thursday, Bloody Sunday, leaving Black Friday.
              • woozy 🤓13:56 · 2023-11-27T21:13:14.218Z
                Instead of "Cyber Crime" (cyber Monday is a relatively new penomenon) I'd have used Muggle Meta Bacon.
                But that may be just a regional thing.
                • Sharkicicles 2s · 2023-11-27T21:42:56.817Z
                  Bacon?
                  • Sharkicicles 2s · 2023-11-28T01:59:53.447Z
                    Oh blue Monday. I know the New Order song but had no idea it was actually called that until I googled it. Less generational issue, more me being dumb.
                    • Abide constructor · 2023-11-28T03:18:50.950Z
                      Most of us geezers would think Fats Domino, actually
                  • Abide constructor · 2023-11-27T22:51:37.525Z
                    I originally had BLUERIBBON but my young "testers" had never heard of the song.
                    • Sharkicicles 2s · 2023-11-28T01:57:43.696Z
                      45, have no idea what that refers to… apparently Cyber Monday dates back to 2005, which I was surprised to find.

                Good! Freaky, but casusal (thank God).

                  LOL! There's another crossword theme right there.

                    Very nice! Guessed the answer before figuring out the mechanism (but I did figure it out!). Not sure what the 7th theme entry could be...
                    • Abide constructor · 2023-11-27T20:31:43.266Z
                      There is a seventh theme entry (well known TV host) but I felt that would require too much research/googling.
                      • Sharkicicles 2s · 2023-11-28T02:02:24.104Z
                        Also could have done Billy Sunday from the Sinatra song. Is there a Johnny for the well known host?
                        • Abide constructor · 2023-11-28T03:20:13.193Z
                          No we need to find the semi-obscure Saturday. Then 10 letters

                      "What the.... I see nothing but two word phrases.... oh wait, the two words are in the grid.... so adjective noun ... hmm... well there is BLACK and there is WIDOW so let's try BLACK WIDOW.... Okay, but why?"
                      "Well-done and most enjoyable, Peter, right down to the "weak-kneed" Easter egg. In this time of thanksgiving"> Something to do with sports?
                      "Good! Freaky, but casusal (thank God)."> Something to do with friday?
                      Oh! I get it! Cyber Monday, Fat Tuesday, Ash Wednesday and ... okay, I guess to do order it must by BLOODY (not HOLY) Sunday, and I've never heard of HOLY THURSDAY but... a back solve is a back solve and a WAG is a WAG. I declare my actions a solve.

                          What? I figured "Dude Abides" would be the answer! Thanks for the puzzle, Peter.
                          • Carolyn 3s · 2023-11-27T19:52:54.154Z
                            Also guessed that right away, before seeing the mechanism. However, first I was looking for element symbols from the sixth period of the table of elements! Tried to make it more difficult than it was. Very nice.
                            • DrTom 4s · 2023-11-28T17:52:17.854Z
                              Yes, I too spend a lot of time on the periodic table and wondering if sports (the 6th period in the school I went to) had anything to do with it.
                            • KayW 🤓6:12 · 2023-11-27T20:44:30.192Z
                              That was a fun romp through the week. Even if it means I now have a U2 earworm in my brain. I bet you didn't expect Mike Shenk to kind of spoiler your MMM last Friday. Thanks Peter!

                                Spent some time making sure there wasn't a specific mechanism for the second word, but once I actually looked at the other 5-letter entries it's obviously the only one that fits. Also spent some time on 'no way that 1D clue is innocent' 😂 Fun stuff, thanks.

                                        I was hoping this answer kinda jumped out at you. Then you figure out why later.

                                        Six? Seven? According to the Fab Four, you need Eight! World-Class Sixth Period, Peter, thanks!

                                          Nice way to start (and almost finish) the week. As a constrictor, I always hate when the answer can be guessed without the mechanism. Here, all you had to do was look for a 10-letter 2-word phrase. If you did, you missed the beauty of the puzzle and the satisfaction of the "aha" moment.
                                          • DrTom 4s · 2023-11-28T17:50:42.409Z
                                            Guessed and had to backsolve. Very interesting; should have seen it from CYBER, FAT and ASH but didn't. I saw what I think is another Easter egg (not an Easter Sunday egg mind you). Was 16A "Week 5" a subtle nudge because there were 5 days of the week? I'll take it as a solve even if it was a lucky guess and a bit of detective work. Thanks for the puzzle Peter.

                                              Not intended, but it was probably subliminal. Interesting...
