So, geordi, your 2nd posting was no improvement over the 1st.

4..I guess the meaning of "broadcast" needs examination, so Poalo could be correct. Here's a link about "dumb laws" that specify 70% of
music must be in French during certain hours. What I had in mind is that one can curse on French radio.

9..Of your offerings, Cherry Hill is the closest. Sometimes it has been called Philly's twin, though I imagine
Philly doesn't like that.

[KnightBridgeAZ]

9 - with the hint, Camden I suppose.

 

[wire chief]

I know from time to time I wonder what folks look like. Odds are low I'll get to Storrs or Hartford in my time left to find out.
Anyway for those interested in what a Wire Chief face is, check out my twin (the white dude in the photo on the bottom of A10 in
today's NY Times. It would fool my kin.

Anyway, to finish up...

1..Five of you hit on Missouri.

2..Crown picks Adjani...I like a cultivated fellow who watches foreign flics.

3..It's the old Appian Way--geordi is so certain that he mentions it twice.

5..Same fella cites A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN.

6..VAUC is correct about Michelle Greene.

7..Meyers unabashedly leads 4 alkys with Beefeaters.

8..On the Russian space station, Mir--offered by Poalo & VTC.

9..Knights gives us Camden, echoing WC Fields that he'd rather be dead then be there.

10..Assai

11..Pap 1st gave us the Moody Blues, then Poalo finished up with Melancholy Man.

12..Ed4 with cri de coeur.

13..Samuel Taylor Coleridge--geordi heads up 4; Pinot was in such a hurry to be first that his fingers stumbled.

As always, it's been a pleasure to confound you. And where did you hide zorro & K9?
