12..Tennessee.

[VAUConnFan]

2. Sam Houston
4. Compound
9. 1930's
12. New Mexico

 

[wire chief]

4..All relevant synonyms...but no. Stirred, not shaken.

3..We're talking street drugs.

5..Think about what happens after April showers.

9..Ed4 and hoop give the navy too much credit. JR & VAUC way too little.

11.."Wake up (Boneyarders), turn your lamp down low" ...and finish this.

 

[ed4ourgirls]

9. Well I know they weren't flogging anyone during the civil war, so
let's say the 1850's.

 

[SoCalCanine]

5. Mayflowers
11. Statesboro Blues

 

[VAUConnFan]

5. The Mayflowers
3. Is that possibly the drug lately in the news that eats flesh?
4. Bond
9. 1890's

 

[wire chief]

Mayflowers? Do you think a baseball team would call itself that? You must take it another step, as if you are dealing with the Philadelphia Cigars.

And I was most perplexed that Q11 took so long.

 

[wire chief]

1..JR, hoop & geordi chime in with Boris Pasternak

2..The 4 Merry Men of Meyers give us Sam Houston.

3..Described as a poor man's heroin, it has produced some serious side effects, but not including flesh being eaten.

4..VAUC has it with "bond".

5..The Boston Pilgrims

6..Ms. K, kindly just type your answer WITHOUT HITTING 'REPLY'.
Anyway, a battle cannot OFFICIALLY end a war. You need a, well, Treaty of Paris
to do that, like Knights, hoop and geordi wrote.

7..Geordi, exercising his right to know all things Irish, remembers that Tommy Makem
sang with the Clancy Bros. Then he realized the proper response must be linked to that
fact. Then he recalled reading of the death of novelist Tom Clancy. Then he realized
that he should type that. Then all that thinking compelled him to take a nap.

8..Rbny provides Christian Democrats.

9..Ed4 writes, "Let's say 1850's"; let's say Ed4 is right.

10..Put those 2 names together and you have a present-day scenic tourist railway
in Knights part of the world.

11..SoCal eventually logs in and recognizes the Allman Bros' Statesboro Blues.

12..The home of a now-irrelevant team who, if they don't win again sometime soon, may blow us all up. Identified by hoop & JR.

13..The ancient Greek, Aristophanes, who pens just hilarious plays. Geordi and
hoop just rolling on the floor still.

You have achieved 22 of 25.

 

[geordi]

I just woke up! Did anything happen?

I just woke up! Did anything happen?

You missed dinner. I fried various vegetables, added tomato sauce and chicken, then mixed in some tortellini.
