1..Terif leads a bunch (who may or may not have common sense themselves) with
Thomas Paine.

2..Ed4 alone hits it, 1863. The rest of you are just subterranean.

3..Kibitzer & 7 other Finians. Lotta Irish on the board.

4..Two actors, both named Dreyfus. So say Meyers plus 3.

5..Perkins, Diddley, Orbison...who hits all 3? Waquoit & Fairview

6..Cezanne, rightly cite rbny & Kibitzer. Rest a youse got no class.

7..Ph, acidic content, bluish or pink...zorro & 4 with their nose to the dirt.

8..High blood pressure...again, lots of you, with Meyers in denial.

9..Actually, it's southern Germans, in the form of spatzle(insert umlaut, bitte).

10..VAUC, along with 4 other phantoms.

11..From Carousel, YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE. Terif & Fair are the stalkers.

12..The Kurds, who float among Turkey, Syria & Iraq. Damn those British and their weird partitioning. Zorro & vtc, up on the middle east.

13..Germany, Ed4 & VAUC. Waquoit has bad dreams.
