"And there's... RECTAL? I don't think so!"

My first thought for 27-Across ("Roofing pro," 6 letters) was RAPIST.

EDIT: Apparently, the KC Star runs the puzzles a few weeks behind the NYT, and this one is actually the March 20th puzzle.

I hope that's not a reflection of anyone you've dated in the past.

But it does remind me of my favorite Queer Duck episode. (Click on "Watch the Show" and choose episode #2.) Needless to say this probably ain't work safe, but it sure is funny.

Queer Duck, of course, was created by the NPL's own Mr. Tex.

Is that today's or today's six-week-delayed syndicated? 'Cuz I'm not seeing a 6-letter word at 27A.

Er... it's the one printed in the Kansas City Star, but it says it's the NYT crossword. It says "05/01 Puzzle by Laura A. Halper" next to the grid. I don't see anything about delayed syndication, but I don't know how that works.

Oh. Okay, then.

Queer Duck, by the way, is both terrible and wonderful. My editorial is going to be in late because I can't stop watching it. :P
