"The Walking Dead" Trivia Challenge

Season 4 of "The Walking Dead" ends this Sunday, which makes this a perfect time for "The Walking Dead" trivia challenge.

Confession: I don't watch the show. I'm not a fan of Zombies, unless it's the group that sang "She's Not There." I love that song. But undead people eating brains? Definitely not my thing.

But I know there are a lot of fans of "The Walking Dead," and someone requested it, so here it is: "The Walking Dead" trivia challenge crossword.

March Madness

Last year, for March Madness, I made up a basketball trivia puzzle to satisfy all the sports fans. This year, I decided to cater to the rest of the world, particularly the ones who don't know much about basketball.

This week's March Madness puzzle includes some of the worst basketball puns I've ever seen. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

The Irish

This week, I'm exploring my Irish heritage with an extra large crossword that includes some of the Irish people I admire. You won't find James Joyce in this puzzle--although I'm a huge fan of the song "Finnegan's Wake," the book was not as enjoyable to me.

Girl Scouts

This week, I pay tribute to a group that's near and dear to my heart: Girl Scouts! As a former Girl Scout, and Girl Scout troop leader, I was involved in the Girl Scout program for over 20 years. And since next week is Girl Scout Week, this is a perfect time to remind everyone to buy the cookies.

The Pixar Theory

Who doesn’t love a good conspiracy theory? Jon Negroni spent a year untangling the secret embedded in Pixar movies, inspired by Cracked.com’s “After Hours” video “Why Pixar Movies Are All Secretly About the Apocalypse.” The Pixar Theory can be viewed in its entirety at his blog.
This week’s StearsWords crossword puzzle is equally tangled and convoluted, and will require both a devious mind and a detailed knowledge of Pixar movies.
