[wire chief]

1..Sucre bleu!! 'tain't no capital. However you are in the right neighborhood.

6..Overdrive

8.. Hey, where are the WAG's?

10..Well it IS a statement about the past, but more specific than "Yesterday".
It includes the word "never".

 

[Waquoit]

1. La Paz
6. Bachmann
10. Tomorrow Never Comes

 

[wire chief]

1. La Paz
6. Bachmann
10. Tomorrow Never Comes

1..Not quite THAT close a neighborhood.

[geordi]

10. Yesterday??? A Day in the Life???
12. The Pequod

12. The Pequod

 

[KnightBridgeAZ]

8 - 1930's - wild guess

 

[meyers7]

6..Overdrive

You didn't say it was a before/after. I was trying to think of the middle name for a Michelle Turner (who I've never heard of).

BTO was one of my favorites as a kid/teen.

Randy must have been so embarrassed with Tai's "She's So High" from back in the day.

 

[wire chief]

1..Quito

2..Well, I call him Steve. No, no you're right. It's Henry...but at least it didn't throw you.

3..Yes to conifer. Thank you K9 & VAUC

4..Rbny selects Rollins. Then along come geordi.

 

[wire chief]

5..We're looking for the Carole King hit, and dish & K9 & VAUC all chime in.

6..Meyers, I've used that before & after format a billion times, and out of trillions of posters, only you are dismounted by it. Waquoit, post hint.

7..See the erudite K9 here.

8..1888

 

[wire chief]

9..Switzerland, as provided by an Asjha fan.

10..Yeah I goofed again, for not double checking the Beatles reference. It's actually a McCartney song from 2005, but none of you guys listens to music that recent, so there's no chance here.
"This never happened before".

11..See our political commentator, Smarty Pants.

12..Hmmm, 4 posters pick Pequod...sounds like a good word.

13..They are pillowy, K9, but a donut sort, a dessert.

 

[k9fanatic]

13. Paczkis? I may be spelling it wrong, but those wonderful jelly-filled Polish donuts you only find around Lent?

Sounds like cultural spelling variations.

1..Sucre bleu!! 'tain't no capital. However you are in the right neighborhood. . .

Actually, Bolivia has two capitols. Sucre is the "official" capitol, and La Paz is the "de facto" or
"administrative" capitol. Neither is the correct answer apparently.

True, true, I had forgotten.
