From the write what you know files, I give you this puzzle. Enjoy. Alas, one theme entry simply wouldn't fit. Highlight the space at the end of this paragraph to see said entry. PRIMORDIAL WAHOOS

This is the penultimate reminder for the end of 2011 puzzle drive to get the never-before-published themeless 21x. Feast your eyes on this baby if you remain unsold. A tip of at least $10 and it's yours. Thanks, again, to all who were able to tip this drive.

Share the puzzle. New one Monday.

UPDATE: New Visual Thesaurus contest puzzle up now. Do it here. Also, I made the Wall Street Journal crossword with Francis Heaney. Get it here: [PDF] [Across Lite]
