YAHOO LIKES DEVIN TOWNSEND

Is Yahoo’s crossword puzzle creator a metalhead? Given the fact that there are a million and one other hints I could think of that would lead to the implied answer “lad,” I’d wager he or she is. Even just plain old “Strapping Young ___” without the “(Canadian Band)” descriptor would’ve been enough to jog even the most pot-addled of brains.

It’s aways fun to see metal shout-outs in the most unlikely of places, especially a more off-the-beaten-path reference like SYL. Mama Neilstein would totally send me a link like this… if she even knew SYL were a metal band.
