Sorry...fixed it.

 

[meyers7]

Sorry...fixed it.

Ah the one who scored all those shootout goals against Russia. The one who said he wasn't a hero, real American heros wear camo.

 

[Zorro]

1..Red and white roses, respectively

3..Henry vIII and the Pope?

4..Charles Atlas

10, Lowe?

[VAUConnFan]

[wire chief]

12. Westinghouse

Perhaps it is clearer if I type "producer".

 

[watanabe]

Perhaps it is clearer if I type "producer".

Producer of entertainment? Like Disney (Like Spin and Marty)?

 

[Zorro]

6. That would be Tom Jones, but was there a Delilah in it? That was way back!

On edit; I just checked out several sites on the movie, and dimmed if I can find any connection to a Delilah. Perhaps my mind is just not subtle enough.

 

[wire chief]

1..Waq, geordi, & zorro are in bloom here, more color-conscious then some.

2..Rbny is learning that if you watch PBS, you're a better test taker.
Geordi also mentions his Firenze fame. Now, the singular genius was building the dome of the duomo, when technically "it couldn't be done".

3..Waq, zorro & VAUC cite the fool's mission. Pope said no; Catherine said OWWWWWWWWWWWW.

4..Charles Atlas offered body building--on the inside of matchbooks,
no less. Credit to the Waq Foursome.

 

[wire chief]

5..Rod Stewart sings Forever Young. Geordi & Waq say it's their shower song. No, no, they do it separately.

6..Yes, you have had better moments of mental acuity and alacrity,
Zorro, for you are not recalling a hit song from the 60's.

7..Flu viruses...and ed4 has had his shots.

8..VAUC & Waq orient us to the 2 Chinas.

 

[wire chief]

9..Mighty Sochi hockey player is he. Meyers sets me straight.

10..Just the score would be the Loewe half: so my fussbudget
self will cite only zorro, who pledges to work on his spelling.
Or does he mean Rob Lowe who once toiled for the West Wing.

11..Ed4 says it's Thomas Mallory. We can live with that, no matter if
we prefer rectangular tables at home.

12..Watanabe does not give up on hints until he agrees on the right one. Disney.

13..For awhile, Belvin Perry had nationwide fame, like that Ito guy
in the last century.
