1..Waq, Meyers & JR perform the Joker...without the Steve Miller band.

2..VAUC & JR figure there's got to be 1000 for every day of the year.

3..The same 2 identify Tahirah, Meyers too, though more vaguely.

4..See geordi or JR. Paul McCartney is an example.

5..Well, Africans who want to expatriate try to get in either. How does that help?

6..Think Petunia.

7.."For your_____ loads, pumping ______ ___."

8..VAUC makes the most sense.

9..Geordi and JR pick Tagalog.

10..Meyers admires Paul's letter to the Corinthians, but doesn't like him as a tennis player.

11..He drew an everlasting symbol.

12..VAUC & JR with VW.

13..Wild-ass Meyers scores with Laos. JR was more certain.
