Not my idea of functioning

Don't forget Maya Rudolph's parody of Kamala Harris on SNL. She called herself a "Funt" -- a fun auntie. That was one of the funniest segments on SNL in a very long time. I wish I knew how to add the link...

If Cut On?

Sounds like a malfunction at the junction.

Fiction! Sorry...maybe wrong...don't know the rules.

Mary Beth said...

I'm with Joe, I see "fiction". I think the "you can't make this stuff up" primed me to see that.

Inside joke? I have no idea what I'm supposed to be seeing there that I can't make up. (Mary Beth's guess is pretty solid.)

Mary Beth said...

Or "Function". I don't know the rules. That fits better with it not working - even though my first reaction to the comment was to be contrary and pick something you can make up.

I was mournful by the time they got the puzzle to function.

I C FUTON. Makes me sleepy.

Whiskeybum said...

To get ‘function’, you have to use the ‘N’ twice - isn’t that cheating?

@Whiskeybum, the rules of this puzzle are that you can use any letter multiple times, so long as your word contains the center letter at least once. You get different points depending on word length, but no word can be shorter than 4 letters. If you use all 7 letters in a word at least once, then that is a "pangram" worth a minimum of 14 points.

missin' K and apostrophe?

FullMoon said...

Oh, nevermind.

Whiskeybum said...

FWBuff - thanks for the clarification of the rules!

FWBuff said...

@Whiskeybum, glad to do it! It is a fun (and addicting) puzzle. It is one of the only reasons why I still keep a subscription to the NY Times!

Entire puzzle page seems to be forcled. Mostly getting server errors trying to access the page. Got to it once or twice, then it flamed out when I tried to access any of the crosswords.
