cruciverbalist

I am a cruciverbalist. Any time I go on a trip of any length I bring along a book of crossword puzzles that Mrs Dust bought for me a couple of Christmas's ago and work through them when I have (five letters, a fifth tire) time. As I am going on a short trip to see (six letters, a class) this weekend, so will my crossword puzzle book.

Thing is, I am not a crossword puzzle purist. If I can't (six letters, "______ eight") out a section of the puzzle, I am more than willing to look up the answer to a clue in the answer to move things along. This is because I don't think it is relaxing fun to stare at a page for twenty minutes to try to determine the spelling for some (six letters, to cut green beans into strips before cooking) town. As a result, I don't like doing the newspaper crosswords that come with the text, "Answers Next Week," or something to that effect. Mrs Dust thinks I am cheating, but I disagree.

If nothing else, doing crosswords has added to my (ten letters, Tarzan had a small one) several four and five letter words containing a lot of (six letters, they can be bought from Sajak). Now I can construct meaningful sentences such as, "I will elide your idea as I puree the oleo on the dais."

Oh yeah, and I had every intention of posting this even before Jadee posted the cruciverbalist description on her site.
