thanks on the hairclip...

Still working on the rock.
Wait! is that MY rock?! nah, it's too small

also stuck on the rock

stuck on the rock and the lift

whats with the crop duster?

[7]think SE Asia (60's-70's)

no idea on pda, rock, jan brady...

also stuck on the rock

We think we got them all, but it won't accept the answers. Grrr...

EDIT: NM - It's not a comb.

got the rock... it makes really good pie!

[7] look at the whole picture

Nice Puzzle gameczar!
Thanks!

thx lead. had an aha moment on the shave. rock still stumping.

any help for the lift?

EDIT - NM, got it. Have one wrong though, rock?

got the helicopter - thanks [8] & [12]

Any idea on Jan Brady? Or the PDA?

EDIT: NM - Got the PDA

Still stuck on Jan and the rock....

[9] threehojos
It's not really jan brady.
and it's not just a pda - it's well connected

I know all but the Brady and the Rock. I'll gladly trade answers...

lol, cute puzzle!

The lift is useful in fruit trees

The rock does make nice pie, it's soft!

Thanks leadfoot - got the "brady" one

"The lift is useful in fruit trees" and also for telephone pole workers

I got the brady... now for the rock...

HELP

I'm stuck on the rock..the pie hint is not helping

Soft and pie doesn't really help me with the rock.

I need a way to search for the type of rock. Most everything to make a pie with is soft...

the manlift one...must be an East Coast thing... I've always known the answer as a tool for auto work.

No clue on most of there. I guessed a few of them, but that's it.

No the lift is pretty universal, as I have heard the term used from Phoeniz, AZ to Milwaukee, WI

thx guys.....on the rock, i figured out the key.

I have all but one... no way to guess the rock.

I know the key... but still won't know how to search for a rock with a fruit name...

think of another name for a rock...

A magazine for an AK-47 would have worked in place of the "comb".

Damn rock...

[33] Agreed!

[27] maybe it's because I have family that has Hot Rods, Funny Cars and Stock Cars. I also worked some construction and still never heard it called anything but a manlift. I have live in CA all my life, tho....

[27] You spend way too much time talking about lifts.

When I hear this term I picture something completely different.

I now have them all but the stone.

me too....any more rock salt?

my dad used to use the stone on our lawn as a soil conditioner.

well, it was crushed first...

type of stone, they might enjoy that stone in key west.

[40] Thanks! That did it for me!

[39] I owe you one, any ideas on the cactus?

Is the one that goes down through the PDA not the obvious answer? It messes up a word that fits the bottom.

they sing about it in Bare Necessities in the Jungle Book

[43] The cactus reminds me of a song in The Jungle Book....ahhhh Balooooooo

it is the obvious answer.

[45] beat me too it. Great minds....

[39] Thanks! Finally got the stone clue.

[47] (smirk) wrong ADE.

[46] I thought so, but it is still failing. Darnit. Checked my spelling too

nice puzzle czar

This was a fun one. :D

The shaving and copter-thing are giving me a little trouble.
Salt?

shaving check post [4]
copter check post [8]

OK, I got it, it was my own stupidity.

Well, I guess it has been a while since a completely photo ID hypercross. How about something more off the beaten rebus/photo ID path soon?

Sounds like a great idea, ethnosax. When will you be submitting it? :^)

[59] The question is actually "When will they be publishing it?" :) I should change my name to Murdoctor. :)

[59] gst
:-) my question exactly!

[60] ahh - so you've submitted already! Good for you!

not too bad - a couple of google searches and I was done.

[32]Yeah, I agree that woulda been a lil better. I never had a necessity for that type of object in the picture. Thanks for the hint

Interesting...I'd always heard of the cactus fruit by another name...made the razor clue extra hard.

ohh NOW i get the pie hint. hmm... i got tripped up thinking it's a rock... though it's more of a stone.

[23][24] Easy, don't get too Key-ed up. Maybe take a break down in southern Florida, way south!

[65] Baloo sings about it in "The Bear Necessities."

Salt on the shaving one?

before a real beard, boys will have what on their face.

I still need the hair clip if anyone can help.

[39] did it for me marvelously on the rock or "stone" one. Think of a soft, powery rock – and one that might be white in certain uses when ground up! Too salty? Well by now these clues pretty much add up!

the rock one left a sour taste in my mouth
