Diary of a Fudger--3-8-13

Constructor: Paula *G*amache

Time: 34:21 (Google-aided)  After 12 minutes or so I had only the Ruthless middle and the SW left--ta- da!  Then I died :(  I looked up the Kia model around 22 minutes in--the SW then fell but BEER GOGGLES and DOG EAT DOG and BLOGGER did not.  I resisted further Google temptation, aided by the fact that there was nothing obvious to look up in the middle and my sense that I would enjoy Paula G's long answers when they finally came to.  Eventually SALT cellar came and the rest yielded--did indeed enjoy the long ones--v. nice puzzle!
