Et tu, crossword puzzle?

Is that an aptitude test in disguise?

You’ve still got it, Oldbot!

Last word: Artifact.

I waited for years for crosswords to catch up with the times. They stopped using forgotten terms like ‘Actress Gardner’ [Ava] and finally started using fresh, cutting edge folks like Ice-T and Dr. Dre.

There IS no ‘4 across’. There’s a 4 DOWN though.

I forgot my age a long time ago.

I remember watching the Beatles’ first appearance on the Ed Sullivan show…

3d scrabble? TBBT boys would’ve loved it!

There seems some kind of theme there, but I can’t quite make it out.

Yep, that’ll do the trick.

What did they call Oldbot before he was old?

Reminded of the first crossword I did after proposing to my wife – there were at least two appropriate answers in it, but after 32 years, 11 months, 28 days I only only remember “ADORE.” Did get a second copy, filled in only those answers, and framed it, so will remember once I remember what I did with that frame.

This looks suspiciously like a gag crossword puzzle you give someone on their 40th or 50th birthday. Exactly how old is Tim?

⇧ taking boring to a whole new level…
