Nice work on clue 12!!

I was hoping #12 would be in there, but didn't know how you'd clue it. Nice one!

Edit: [1] LOL!

under 100 in all three, papa like

a little stumped on how any of the clues even relate to the actual blanks.

[1] & [2] Me too - I loved #12!!!

was totally lost and then the theme clicked...

[4] Refer back to the title and change the "name" to the more colloquial form.

Hmmm, I got all but 12. Doesn't seem to fit for me. Salt?

duh... took me 8 min to get #12

stuck on #11.. but have all the others. I feel silly!

[8] say it out loud.

Edit: Ugh. the last pic for #11 isn't a speaker. Got it :)

i'm stuck on 5. any salt?

I also am having a lot of problems with 5.

Edit: Got it. Can't say I ever heard of it. Guess I was stuck on the first picture being "D-Day"

#5 isn't clicking for me

My first Post'n'Solve. D'oh!

Well, I got it only after saying what I thought 12 was aloud to my wife. When she repeated it back to me, I was like, Oh!

Now I made it at 101, after looking at it for 5 minutes! : )

[11]-[13] When I'm stuck with a day that's gray, and lonely, I just stick out my chin and grin, and say
Oh!

[15] thanks, jeb. wasn't using the right word for either pic in the clue. but your sprinkling helped the sun to come out.

It's a hardknock life for those who can't figure out #5

/facepalm...i had the wrong state for 12. my roommate must think i lost my mind cause i've been walking around saying different combinations of prairie and daddy for 15 min. not my night for tanga-ing haha

[7] Thanks so much!

Took me a minute to wrap my mind around #12. Nice one!

Thanks [15]. I was stuck with soldiers and army, and couldn't get the big picture.

seems like I am the only one who can't get #6, any salt for that?

[22] They're dancing in a toy store.

I think I have all the answers correct but its not taking. Anyone care to check them?

Never mind - post and solve. Stupid typo.

How about #9?

I did much better on #5 when I noticed the antlers... :)

Very nice! I agree with [1] - great cluing. :)

[25] Something seems a bit unnatural about the body part pointed at - don't you think? Barbie has the same problem.

Thanks! Very nicely clued.

[15] thanks for the salt, jeb

Great puzzle but I'm more impressed with #9's legs.

Fun little puzzle! Very nicely clued so I didn't have to go look up a single answer :)

Funny that a lot of people had trouble with #5. Took me a bit to get it, but it was that one that made the theme clear to me and let me complete/fix the first 4.

I understand #12. I just can't get a spelling that fits

the 269th Tanga member to solve it. You earned 20 points for solving this. Wow, some of these were difficult, like #5, #7 and #12. I thank the shakers for their salt!

12 or 12 what the *%@! are you?

omg had to google US state info, to figure out #12

Geez, took me long enough. Thanks for the salt.
