After a quick look through and getting the theme straight away I knew only 1, yogis mate. lol
Obviously not my type of cross.
PS, lots of pandas share the theme. Pure guesswork.
Pass.

Can't get first or second down, or last across

[2] Yeah, unless it's misspelled, there's an extra letter there.

[2] and [4] Fit it to the theme... I don't think it's the group, but their song.
Of course, I haven't finished solving it yet, so I could be wrong.
(I need help on the bottom two across ones).

For second to last across, see http://atv.disney.go.com/playhouse/allshows/
Any help on the first or second down would be nice

[6] Thanks.
First down, it's about a song, not the group.
Second down, his brother (I think) was in NKOTB. (I'm VERY embarrassed that I know that).
Oops... maybe you meant that thing on the dashboard, rather than the guy? I was wrong with the thing on the dashboard, so I need help on that one, too, now.

[5]Wrong down we were complaining about. Our complaint was yellow background beefcake image....

[5] D'oh! My mistake, it's the second one down that's giving me an extra letter.

[8] Ah, yeah, I'm embarrassed that I knew the correct spelling of that one... it isn't traditional. I think it might be how Dan Quayle would've spelled it, actually.

no clue on the emo band, and I'm uncertain on the spelling of some of those.

First down band - have it on the tip of my tongue, but stuck trying to remember them (or their songs)

Hello all
Well, it just goes to show that even with testing, errors still get through.
EDIT: NOW CORRECTED.....

[7] No, I got the thing on the dashboard (it's not "sue sue", if you remember the commercial). It was the beefcake i'm stuck on (the one you are referring to doesn't technically fit the theme, nor does it fit, but in light of [13] I guess it's correct).
RPardoe
Posted on Sat Oct 06, 2007 07:36 PM |
[13] Go ahead and change it. Otherwise folks will be complaining all night long. Or do you intend to stay up 24 hours to remind folks?
TWhitsett
Posted on Sat Oct 06, 2007 07:38 PM |
[13] Actually it IS spelled correctly.
Ooops... my bad... Google kept changing it to the spelling you used when I typed it in. Not sure why.

Posted on Sat Oct 06, 2007 07:38 PM |
[14] That's what I thought too--not only misspelled, but not fitting the theme. :(
As for the dashboard item, I found its name here: http://reviews.cnet.com/4370-3430_7-218-101.html
As for the leftmost down and the bottom across, I'm completely clueless, so I'm just waiting for some really helpful salt.
RPardoe
Posted on Sat Oct 06, 2007 07:39 PM |
[16] Perhaps - and I haven't solved completely yet to find the correct spelling - but from what I think it is (might be) - seems pretty obscure and hard to find unless you are a fan with intimate knowledge.... ;) (Meaning - I haven't stumbled across this as the proper or correct spelling.)

[16] Not according to IMDB

For the leftmost down, even though none of them look alike, the name would imply that two of them look exactly alike (second word). Couple that with a fairly common last name (first word).
For the bottom across, even though they weren't related, they all claimed to share the same last name, which was the name of the band. Original punk band...
bagherra

If I'm not mistaken, it's the band that recorded:
....hrm, as I typed it, I tried it and it fits....
they also have a song called
Tok Tok which would have fit better as the other one is less "themey".

Beefcake is corrected...
I repeat...beefcake is now corrected...
Wow, thats making me hungry (for cake)

okay, the song ISN'T lies lies lies, even though it almost fits.

Is the song also the name of a sitcom with the Max Headroom guy? That's what I'm going with now, but I still don't know who "One of these guys" is.

any help on the clown and lion picture?
ethnosax
Posted on Sat Oct 06, 2007 07:53 PM |
I've got answers, but something's wrong somewhere. Probably I picked the wrong panda (how many times have I said that?).
[32] I was stuck on the band too, but then I looked up a previous suggestion--"original punk band". The first result I found in Google for that phrase got me in the right direction.

okay, thanks to my buds at puzzlers, I got the panda, and honestly, yeah....I wouldn't have EVER gotten that without being told what it was. It doesn't even show up on Wikipedia!

[43] That's what I tried, but it doesn't fit! Am I doing something wrong?
ethnosax
Posted on Sat Oct 06, 2007 08:02 PM |
[44] Must be typing something wrong, because it sounds like you have the answer.
I finally got the points, after trying about four names for "one of these two". Not so much fun, but not as bad as an entire hypercross about one TV show.
ethnosax
Posted on Sat Oct 06, 2007 08:05 PM |
And hey, isn't anyone going to ask tonight about why it says they're not going to save your answer? I feel a little let down whenever there's a hypercross without that comment. :)

Any salt on who the first across is??? I don't recognize him, and no amount of image searching for UN seems to help.

[37] how about the first letter of that panda name? I have tried 5 names and no dice.

Well, I figured out the theme and I have everything except the first two down clues.
Extremely frustrating when you have no idea who's in the pictures (as people have been saying on Tanga for about a year now!). I wouldn't mind giving up so much if I hadn't already solved the other 9 clues.

[48] - try searching for "UN secretary general"
melantha
Posted on Sat Oct 06, 2007 08:25 PM |
[48] The Animaniacs mention him in a song about the UN.....
[37] Yes it does! I read the whole part about zoos, and he's in there.... Lucky boy.

Yay!!! the image sizes are great! Thanks!
Boo!! I don't recognize 80% of the images - another impossible one to search for unless you know what you're looking, in which case you probably don't have to search.
Great idea for a theme though.
