Today Tom Pepper takes us on a punning tour of the U.S. In several themed answers, the abbreviations for a state are read as if they are a separate word. "Psychedelic stuff from the Evergreen State?" is WA 'SHROOMS. "Mosquito from the state nicknamed Land of Opportunity?" is AR BITER. "Gambler's action in the Cornhusker State?" is NE WAGER. "Highway divider in the Centennial State?" is CO MEDIAN. And so on.
I love analogies! "Inning : baseball :: END : curling." Never heard of it! A game of curling has eight or ten ends.
