Theme: Extra Holiday Pay (see 57-across). Ok, all puns this time (note the question marks). Looks like they’re mostly across clues, so we’ll need to solve the down clues to get a handle on them. I’d suggest starting the 57-across and 63-across area of the puzzle as it’s likely to help solve the rest. But, to be honest, it’s only a little bit of help.
Specific Hints:
Starting O (this one killed me!): think game, but not sports
Hairy-raising: Not EERIE
Conservative skirt: well it can’t be a mini, but…
Fishes or cuts bait: remember what this expression means and it don’t mean nothin’ ’bout fishin’
Centipede creator: think old arcade game
