Hil, for the first one, there is a drug combination that includes cocaine and another drug; its name is related to one of the border boxes. The name of the combination and the other drug are both in the puzzle. I am not sure what other one you mean.

For the second clues, the first combines boot, and a word that is part of an expression meaning someone who never pays for himself. For the other two, think of something that s Windows has a lot of, especially when a new version is first released. If you get that one, think of a combination of that and dragon.

eta: Or what Nicole said.

JenP, yes. And thanks to ita talking about it, I'm watching it on On Demand right now.

Newsflash: Diane Farr's hands still hover over her "hidden" bump.

Oh, TOTALLY. Also, how lame was it that they finally inferred that she and Larry had sex, as he was leaving.

Man, I just take it as a given that Thanksgiving week is reruns. I guess I shouldn't extrapolate from Sci-fi to the rest of TVdom.

I'm watching NCIS. Numbers, well, tomorrow, I guess. I'm sleepy.

Okay, if we're back to the puzzle, I've filled in a bunch of stuff from this morning, but opened up a bunch of new stuff.

Oh, and I misidentified a clue in the drugs box, which confused you, Lee. The one I'm looking for there is the three word one off to the right, that's connected to both drugs and zombie dust.

Also, in automobiles, I need the one that connects Railroad Tycoon and Mario Kart.

Also, I still don't have the clue that connects acid to cocktails or the one in cocktails that connects to line.

And I've only got about half of board games filled in.

I like NUMB3RS, but it's a damned coy show, isn't it? Implied violence (I mean, it's not on a CSI level) and kissy face that wouldn't get 17 year old you in trouble with your parents.

Which reminds me! Damn, I'm riled at the movie ratings board. The amount of violence allowed in their "Approved for all ages" trailers was really high! Violence I'm okay with seeing, but the idea that it was palatable to an 8 year old...just not right.

Blood Diamond? The hell? Kidnapped kids, explosions, and people being shot? How is that okay?

Sean, for the automobiles one, think about what both those things are examples of.

I'm still trying to figure out a bunch of the same drugs ones that you are, and a good number of the board games.

Thanks Hil. That should have been obvious.

The one that connects acid to cocktails is a type of cocktail that's got Acid in the name. It's got Malibu and pineapple , usually.

The one between cocktail and line , I really don't know what the connection is. Think about cocktails other than drinks .
