Crossword 204: Afterthoughts

John William Godward, Idle Thoughts
John William Godward, Idle Thoughts

This week’s puzzle has a theme no one has ever tried before—at least so far as I know—in which added letters, and parsing, and synonyms, and puns, are all daringly combined in no fewer than six original nonsense phrases!  I’m a little worried that releasing it into the universe will result in the creation of a semantic black hole from which meaning can never escape, and that then nothing will ever make sense again.  But I’m going to chance it!
