I'll take the "easy ones"
8. 7-UP
12. changing the line up
14. Overwhelming odds

Luke said...

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.

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.

Luke said...

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

21 fo(u)r no apparent (pair rent) reasON whatsoever
22 mis(s)underSTANDinG between friends

Luke said...

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

Is this a Matt I know? I'm curious. :-)

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

Luke said...

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.

luke - yeah, you know me, but I'm working on 9 weekends away so you haven't seen me lately

Luke said...

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. :-)
