PUZZLE #262: Compound Crosswords 5

PUZZLE #262
COMPOUND CROSSWORDS 5

Fit the words hinted at by the clues into the nine grids below so that the two words in each grid combine to create a two-word phrase or compound word. There may be multiple possibilities for these phrases, but there's only one way that all the words will fit in all of the grids.

Once each grid is filled out, the pink letters in each grid will spell out the FINAL ANSWER: a compound word.


CLUES
* _____ and the Beat (The Go-Go's album)
* Basalt or granite, for one
* Bookcase section
* Cereal that Mikey likes
* Cooks chicken like Colonel Sanders
* "Fat Bottomed Girls" band
* Five-sided baseball plate
* How I Met Your _____ (sitcom with over 200 episodes)
* It's signified by an "X" in Family Feud
* Leprechaun on a cereal box
* Like Copernicus or Chopin, say
* Low-pH substance
* Oscar the Grouch's fur color
* Place to buy a fat pig in a nursery rhyme
* Pointer on an Enter key
* Red Hot Chili Peppers member who voiced Donnie in The Wild Thornberrys
* Shoe part that's directly under the laces
* What a hammer hammers

Once you believe you've figured out the FINAL ANSWER, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks. You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or get a hint from me in exchange for a "hint star", more details for that are on the sidebar to the right) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured it out. If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for two versions you can print out: a .PNG and a link to a .PDF!
