  2. 8: is correct
    12: is wrong, but on the right track
    14: kinda, but not quite...you're supposed to be able to go in reverse from the word/phrase to the picture, and if you tried to draw "overwhelming odds" it wouldn't work.

  6. Anon: Hey, Great call on number 19! I was struggling with that one. I didn't even think of "saline".

    I got a different answer for 22 though.

    On 23 I think "a bad spell of weather" is a little more accurate.

    This leaves 2, 15, 21, and 22.

  7. oh, and it's important to know that you got the gender of the person in number 22 right.

  9. Matt: excellent! I love how you explain them in the writing.

  10. 2: Hominy (Hom an' E)
    15: He's against capitalism

  11. D.P.: I like your answer for number 2. I would say that one's solved.

    For number 15, I was thinking more along the lines of "He's the power of Capitalism". I'm not sure why they'd offset "He's" like that if it was just supposed to be "against" capitalism.

  13. Matt: Well, it's good to know you're still alive. :-) Heidi and I are going to be gone this weekend. We're going with the Thames' on the bus to Lexington. Should be fun.

    Thanks for playing. :-)
