xword faxtx

Today's crossword was toilet-themed. Classy. New facts to me:

• "Four-baggers" are home runs (HRS)
• "Woad and anil" are DYES
• DIDOS are pranks
• SALADA is a brand of green tea
• A STALAG was a German prison camp, and the setting for "Hogan's Heroes"
• ACTA are "court records"
• The ASTROS were the first team to play on artificial turf (duh, I guess)
• ASHY is a word and, as far as I can tell, is the same as ashen.
  
• Elzie SEGAR created Popeye.

That is all I have to say about that.
