Wednesday, April 15, 2009 Puzzle by Michael Vuolo, edited by Will Shortz
GO UNDER THE KNIFE (17A. Have surgery), BORN WITH A SILVER SPOON IN ONE’S MOUTH (24A. With 37- and 50-Across, privileged) and FORK IT OVER BUDDY (60A. “Gimme!”) are this Wednesday puzzle’s three interrelated eating utensil idiomatic entries. Is that a mouthful?
A few linked clues -- Talking horse of old TV; Barry White’s genre; “I Was a Teenage Frankenstein”; "Bowling for Columbine” and ONO clued as “Vas ___ Vas” (former derivative Spanish-language game show) instead of Yoko --YAY (63D. “That’s great news!”).
I‘d make a joke about 50-Down, but that would be just OFFAL (Butcher‘s discards)!
