Crossword Complaints

We return today with no comments, just complaints. Both the Washington Post and NYT crosswords pissed me off today. Stupid words, stupid clues. It might also help if I didn't misread a variety of clues.

Hey, I almost liked this one!

Washington Post 5/30
And why did I like it?
31A "Type of computer port" --> USB
57A "'Novum Organum' author" --> Sir Francis Bacon (It's Ac guy)
Also fun names like Khachaturian.
Did not like 31D "___-daisy!" because a) its outdated, and b) it should be "OOPSY," not "UPSY."
Oh, and I thought the phrase was "sick as A CAT," not 26A "A DOG." Horrible Histories told me so. Therefore this crossword lies!

OK. I promise to stop boring you now. More may follow Monday.

Crossword Complaints

First in what may become a series.

Washington Post 5/29
So the overall clue was "Mixed Green Salad," which turned out to mean that the four long clues were anagrams of "GREEN SALAD," with the center across word reading "ANAGRAM." It was, shall we say, annoying. Although I did like 28D "Lee at Appomattox." Figure out the answer for yourself. This is also an It's Ac fact. :P
Um. A bunch of clues that took me forever to get, and about 5 which I will admit Googling. Proud to know 42A "Get Yer ___ Out (1970 Stones album)," but that's because I'm an old music junkie like that.

BTW, don't expect complete crossword pictures, because I do these on good old-fashioned newspaper. With a pen.
And I'm too lazy to scan.

EDIT: Hey, look, you can do the crossword for yourself!
