Doubleday&#8221; (an anagram of Douglas and Bradley). I want to make a portmanteau name for Barry and Brad. Brady Swilberk? I had SPLIT instead of ALLOT at 22d, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lynn Lempel&#8217;s New York Times crossword The last theme entry I filled in was 25a, and it actually made me laugh out loud. Each theme answer doubles the S at the end of the first word, thereby changing the phrase&#8217;s meaning entirely.

MIRROR OF THE MIND is not a familiar-sounding phrase to me or my husband. As for vanity mirrors, apparently the term applies to many different sorts of mirrors. 28a. CASEWORKER, that&#8217;s solid.

Five theme answers, all beginning with go and finishing with an adjective. 17a. [Split a bill evenly with someone] GO HALFSIES. 39a. [Flip out] GO CRAZY. 62a.
