What @GeorgeNYC said.Except who/what is Denny Crane?Agree it's a Monday. Wish I had written it! But should they not all actually be girls not women? Shouldn't all be writers as Rex said, or either all literary characters or all real?I would never have SCUM as the first word. Asamatteroffact, I wrote in ALGA, even after seeing 1D ___ - fry and trying to think if it could possible be anything besides stir-fry, I so did not want SCUM.Bleedover: ALA(insert @Vann55-like rant about IOTA/IONA OTOS/OTS/ATO)But I did love the idea!And I loved that the corners smuggled in the ZJX...imagine this puzzle without them!Or, actually, imagine the little SW corner with ASS over JOY over SEX (albeit backwards).Throw in LUBE VAS SINTAX and A-TEASE and I'll let Joho construct a little tale about de-FLOWERGIRLS!
Hey, have you heard about…Emilio Largo

No excitement to this one. Never heard of Pez (really!), Arnie Morton, or meme. Is it pronounced mimi? may-may? memmay? meem? memmy? Does anyone care? I don't foresee any reason ever to have to pronounce it for the rest of my life.
Nice and entertaining puzzle.I learned this meaning of "Jot" from this blog, so thanks!I had EVIDENCE for 10D, which slowed me for the longest time.I remembered something about oysters and Rs from a joke I heard a kid, involving a Rabbi seeing a congregation member eating oysters on Yom Kippur. Can't remember the joke, but do remember the adults laughing....
Being on the West Coast and not a morning person, I always get here after most puzzlers have their say. I can't decide if it is comforting that other people get hung up the same places I get hung up. I misspelled Murdock at first, but had a question in my mind about it as I worked along. Didn't remember meme and didn't know Emilio, though the latter was the most logical.@Hazel, thanks for the reminder about "Elegy for Iris." I going to put that in our Netflix cue.
I liked this puzzle a little better than most of you. Had a rough start because I also wanted the alga and the Quai(e?). Guess I wanted a pangram.I've been looking for "largo" ever since someone mentioned it. Where???@dk: I too thought for a few seconds that you had been hurt skiing into a tree....@hazel: I've read a few of Murdoch's books. Some of it heavy going...How about Violet Gray and Hyacinth Bucket (Bouquet)?When we arrived back in CT we found the burners not working. It's cold. The heating guy is in the basement, talking up a storm. Guess my husband is keeping him from his work.
As a socioculural anthropologist, I have mixed feelings about "meme." Yes, I've heard the word and know what it means. But I associate with a certain type of sociobiological/evolutionary thinking (i.e.Dawkins) and it certainly isn't a generally used term in my field (which at least in theory is about "cultural information"). However, the term seems to have gone into more-or-less general English with perhaps a somewhat different meaning from what Dawkins had in mind.
@Kartoffel - Hubster said he had a multiple murder, multiple murderer case with many stolen items and a trail of credit cards that had more than 200 EXHIBITs. One side uses numbers, and the other uses the letters. When you get to the end of the letters, you can either go AA or A2. Most cases are drug cases and have about 35.
Largo is, like many Bond villains, a man of exquisite taste who demonstrates power and influence through wealth. His mysterious persona and appearance immediately make him stand out. When things dont go according to plan, verbal outbursts are the least you have to worry about. His lack of consideration for people in his inner circle makes Emilio Largo a ruthless villain for whom failure or disloyalty is to be punished by torture or death.
James Bond first heard about Domino during a briefing from M to all thedouble-0 agents in Europe. Bond had recognized her brother from a photograph,having seen him dead the night before at the Shrublands health clinic. He wassent to Nassau to investigate, where Domino was staying. 2ff7e9595c
