[Bigboote]

8..The hunt; Diana

9..Niccolo; Antonio. (Coincidentally, and I'm not making this up, when I was reading this question this morning, I was listening to Akiko Suwanai play Paganini's fourth concerto on the Dolphin Stradivarius.)

10..Clarence Saunders invented ___-_______ shopping and began what chain?

11..Czechoslovakia

[SVCBeercats]

1. Cambodia

4. There is a Virginia Cascades waterfall in Yellowstone Park and there is another Virginia Cascades waterfall in Jefferson National Forest which is in of all places, Virginia.

11. Martina Navratilova was born in Prague, Czechoslovakia, now the Czech Republic.

2..So you read the noteworthy accomplishment of Mo'ne, yes? Well Ms. Neher did something akin and singular also, though in a different sport.

9..That's one scary Limey-American. And once K9 was leafing through the very same novel about which I asked.

6..They are vital to treating a dilemma out West right now.

10..I'll give you part--"self-service".

1..K9 & SVC have it.

2..She threw a TD pass in a varsity game.

3..Ed4 & rocket narrowly escape a fender-bender.

4..Now, SVC, waterfalls have a straight descent, whereas cascades gurgle their way over an incline. We will brook no further
drybeds in your stream of consciousness.

5..We disavow the McEnroe reference in favor of Rocket's text. And SVC, when you are in sophisticated company, you may want to refrain from the expression, "line umpire". People may suspect your college degree is bogus.

6..SVC reads the hint accurately.

7..Rex Harrison and rbny say, "Marry Freddy?! Bah!"

8..Many here know more about mythology than reality.

9..Like Big says.

10..Piggly-Wiggly...One wonders what people were like a century ago that Saunders thought they'd groove to the name.

11..Goodness, apparently the whole world knows this.

12..K9 knows something about child abuse. To this day she is haunted by the failure of the ice cream truck to carry spumoni.

13..Rocket's right on the nose.

 

[Gamecockfan77]

Who doesn't groove on the piggly wiggly?

I dig the pig.

Dry bed?! Hrrumph!

The following is a list of waterfalls by type.

• Plunge: Water descends vertically, losing contact with the bedrock surface.
• Horsetail: Descending water maintains some contact with bedrock.
• Cataract: A large, powerful waterfall.
• Multi-step: A series of waterfalls one after another of roughly the same size each with its own sunken plunge pool.
• Block: Water descends from a relatively wide stream or river.
• Cascade: Water descends a series of rock steps.
• Segmented: Distinctly separate flows of water form as it descends.
• Tiered: Water drops in a series of distinct steps or falls.
• Punchbowl: Water descends in a constricted form and then spreads out in a wider pool.
• Fan: Water spreads horizontally as it descends while remaining in contact with bedrock.

Virginia Cascades Falls in the Jefferson National Forest of Virginia is a perfect example of a cascade waterfall. The falls, pictured here, descends a height of about 69 feet along approximately 35-foot cascades.

Yellowstone's cascades does not plunge at all. You picture a bogus cascade, since it starts as a true plunge.
Like your next-to-last definition, you too much plunge into the punchbowl.
