1..Chap leads 5 with Midnight Train to Ga. You'd think that one of you would mention that it is a line that Gladys doesn't herself sing.

2..Knights heads 4 with Atty Gen Eric Holder (over documents related to a Vin Diesel movie...wait that's not right).

3..VTC, Poalo & geordi with Yemen(tree very pretty and the Yemen flower is sweet, but the fruit of the poor Yemen may explode beneath my seat).

4..VAUC is alone (though not lonely) with Stanford.

5..Poalo, our new source for all things hardrocky, with Aerosmith.

6..Two Pricilla Goodbodys here, by Chap & geordi.

7..I believe VTC meant to answer this here rather than #4. How can a science-minded fellow be so poor in math.

8..Chap, VAUC & geordi among the evil Gremlins.

9..The catty guests snickered that the bridesmaid looked like they were ____ in tablecloths.

10..K9 is most accurate with Fiat.

11..The flighty Poalo gives us Albatross.

12..An AKA, K9? Doesn't that mean he's wanted by the cops? Truly a "cold case". John Cabot by Knights & VTC.
VAUC gives us a map-maker.

13..Yes, Chap, just like your Avatar. Baby Driver by Paul Simon & the other guy.

12 of 13 for you...but that's just until you fill in the above 4-letter blank.
