  • Cindy Heisler 2s · 2023-10-15T12:12:06.032Z
    I got a chuckle from the "themers". Nice Sunday solve from the Cap'n. Thanks!
    • Capn Rick costruttore · 2023-10-15T13:00:42.619Z
      Glad you enjoyed it, Cindy. Steven Wright is one of my favorite "stand-up" comedians, and he's a local (to me) guy from Burlington, MA.
    • whimsy 🤓9:31 · 2023-10-15T13:20:03.323Z
      Aha! Slightly changed, I see. But I remembered this time! Very fun once again, Cap'n!
      • Capn Rick costruttore · 2023-10-15T13:55:55.430Z
        Thanks, Claudia. Yes, it dawned on me that I needed to make those 7 theme entries "stand up". 😄
      • michaelm 🤓11:53 · 2023-10-15T14:14:50.032Z
        And take a bow, Cap’n! Saw him 40 years ago and still remember this one: The student loan director from my bank called. He said, "You've missed seventeen payments, and the university never received the $17,000. We'd like to know what happened to the money." I said, "Mr. Jones, I'll give it to you straight. I gave the money to my friend Slick, and he built a nuclear weapon with it. And I'd appreciate it if you'd never call again."
        • Capn Rick costruttore · 2023-10-15T14:43:43.293Z
          Yep, Steven is a classic. Thanks, Michael!
        • Meg 27s · 2023-10-15T14:09:56.412Z
          I didn’t sleep well. I made a couple of mistakes. That guy!! Thanks, Capn.
          • Capn Rick costruttore · 2023-10-15T14:46:48.528Z
            Thanks for solving, Meg. Another one of my favorite Steven quotes is "I was reading the dictionary. I thought it was a poem about everything."
          • lbray53 4s · 2023-10-15T14:28:01.720Z
            I LOVE this guy. Maybe it is a Sunday morning thing but when I read 3D I immediately thought of Steven. It took my brain awhile to catch on. I think that using the down entries hid the mechanism just enough. I was also coming off of working on Mikey's puzzle so the "Wright" clues did not register as they might have otherwise. Great job! SSSmore please.
            • Capn Rick costruttore · 2023-10-15T16:18:30.629Z
              Thanks, lbray53. I love this guy too! Yes, I thought that "standing up" the theme entries would fit nicely with the meta answer.
            • imontoo 3s · 2023-10-15T14:41:00.336Z
              So, enjoyed this one! Steven Wright always makes me laugh.
              • Capn Rick costruttore · 2023-10-15T16:20:14.264Z
                Thank you, Konnie. Steven's deadpan delivery is priceless.
              • KayW 🤓6:36 · 2023-10-15T16:31:11.883Z
                It took me a while, but I landed it. Very clever as always!! Thanks Rick!(my first thought was: wait, Wendy just did one like this... oh! A different Wright stuff. )
                • Capn Rick costruttore · 2023-10-15T17:06:19.495Z
                  Thanks, Kay. Yes, my "Wright" guy is from Boston. Regarding aviation Steven once asked, "Why don't they make the whole plane out of that black box stuff?"
                • MatthewL 🤓6:47 · 2023-10-15T16:34:05.174Z
                  Nice one, Rick! Gave me some chuckles on a Sunday morning.
                  • Capn Rick costruttore · 2023-10-15T17:09:01.977Z
                    Thanks, Matthew. We could all use a good chuckle these days.
                  • Hector 🤓7:29 · 2023-10-15T16:38:57.123Z
                    Needed the first nudge. Thanks for the excuse to google SW's one-liners.
                    My girlfriend said, “Let me ask you a question: If you could know how and when you were gonna die would you want to know?’
                    I said no and she said, ‘Forget it then.”
                    • Capn Rick costruttore · 2023-10-15T17:11:36.756Z
                      Glad you enjoyed it, Hector. Watch out for that girlfriend, though! 😄
                    • SamKat9 🤓8:52 · 2023-10-15T17:02:48.421Z
                      Thanks Cap'n! I didn't recognize the quotes so I needed your 3rd nudge, but I was able to get it from there. I'm not very familiar with his standup routines but I remember him as "The Guy on the Couch" from Half-Baked :D
                      • Capn Rick costruttore · 2023-10-15T22:13:52.204Z
                        Thanks, SamKat9. Yeah, Steven has been around for quite a while now. It looks like he was last doing shows in April of this year. I've never seen him live, but I would sure like to!
                      • Tom Wilson 🤓5:47 · 2023-10-15T18:25:46.443Z
                        Nicely done! My fave? “I went to a restaurant that serves 'breakfast at any time' So I ordered French Toast during the Renaissance.”
                        • whimsy 🤓9:31 · 2023-10-15T18:45:53.135Z
                          That's the one I always think of!! :-)
                          • Capn Rick costruttore · 2023-10-15T22:14:24.429Z
                            Thanks, Tom. Yes, that's one of my favorites as well. What a talent!
                          • Carolyn 2s · 2023-10-15T18:32:59.854Z
                            Very fun!

                              Recognized some of these immediately, and started thinking, hey he stole these jokes from Ste....oh, right. If you melt dry ice, can you swim without getting wet?
                              • Capn Rick costruttore · 2023-10-15T22:16:46.309Z
                                Yep, andeux, I stole all of those one-liners from Ste...oh, Wright! 😁 The dry ice quip is a good one too.
                              • ajk 🤓11:09 · 2023-10-15T21:35:36.211Z
                                Used the nudges, but probably would have gotten it without them because I would have been less lazy and looked at other possible orderings of the first letters 😃. Fun stuff, thanks.
                                • Capn Rick costruttore · 2023-10-15T22:18:16.695Z
                                  Hey, it's Sunday, Alan. We can overlook the laziness thing. 😄
                                • Mwoychick 🤓9:35 · 2023-10-15T22:25:11.374Z
                                  Great puzzle, Cap'n Rick, and I love the Steven Wright clues - he always makes me laugh!
                                  • Capn Rick costruttore · 2023-10-15T22:38:23.007Z
                                    Thanks for all your help, Mark!

                                    Stephen Wright's delivery is the best. "The sign says you're open 24 hours! [pause] [incredulous look] Not in a row..."
                                    • Capn Rick costruttore · 2023-10-16T01:39:46.860Z
                                      Amen to that, Laura! Thanks for solving.

                                      I needed nudge 1, got it from there, but haven’t had the pleasure of getting to know the subjects material. Funny one-liners!! Thanks Cap’n

                                          Saw Steven Wright a couple of times by the third joke I recognized the jokes. Reallly good one Rick....
                                          • Capn Rick costruttore · 2023-10-16T14:02:07.773Z
                                            Thank you John. I never had the opportunity to see him live, but I sure wish I had! The first joke I ever heard was when he said "I put instant coffee in a microwave oven and almost went back in time." 😆

                                            My first guess was DEADPAN, but I couldn't backsolve to it. So I ordered French toast during the Renaissance.

                                              When I was putting this one together I thought about using DEADPAN. But then I realized that I could "stand up" those themers, and that made the decision for me.

                                              Steven Wright is a genius of our time. One of my favorites:
                                              I was going 70 miles an hour and got stopped by a cop who said, "Do you know the speed limit is 55 miles per hour?"
                                              "Yes, officer, but I wasn't going to be out that long..."

                                                Thanks for solving, Sendhil. Yes, Steven is definitely a genius.

                                                I thought of Steven Wright when I saw the title and one joke in I knew it had to be him. I’m sure there are other eggs than Mort Sahl but I’m working on a phone and it’s hard to search. Loved it Cap

                                                    Needed another nudge to take me back to my first idea, followed almost immediately by a headslap. Nice variation on a common theme.

                                                      i needed the nudges cause i was sure the meta had to do with homophones or silent letters... looks like i didnt have the right stuff for this puzzle, sorry for the intrusion among you geniuses, but thanks for the puzzle anyway

                                                        Thanks for solving, merlinnimue. No shame in needing a nudge from time to time. 😁
