1..Roy did not want a tiger in his tank, hoop & VAUC.

2..VAUC gives its meaning(scram!) Six others type "skidoo".

3..Something like, "Stays at Spring Break". Our raconteurs are JR & SoCal.

4..Bye, Bye Blackbird--credit to zorro, geordi, SoCal.

5..Crown and a mess of others have General Giap.

6..I ask for a hometown and you give me a saint. Oh, so many dyslectics on our board.
OK a tiny credit to Pinot & hoop.

7..The Dalton Gang, write hoop, zorro & geordi.

8..VAUC has it; the Detroit Lion died on the gridiron. Only one who ever did.

9..Pap's here after a long hiatus. He had threatened never again to post until I used a Pink Floyd song. He and hoop have Daniel Silva.

10..Jim Bakker, our religious police are geordi & Meyers.

11..The Pinot Quintet...um no, the Drifters. Dishonorable mention to JR, who has been too long with Charley Brown.

13..This time it's the Zorro Quartet with Little Rock.

12..Hoop is most thorough with the Russian for 1,2,3, despite his gramma always razzing him.

You hit 100% on part A. Go up your worthiness on B. I'll wait.
