Nice puzzle.

Fun!

Based on the title and knowing who he is I came up with a couple of ideas. Nothing seems to work. I don't have a sinle answer yet.

I cannot get the theme.

[4] Same here, and I know who he is.

excellent puzzle!

Nice one threehojos! Really Fun. I got stuck on #7, wanting it to be a game, but then it literally came to me.

[7] literally? that had to be pretty scary

I know what to do, but I can't figure out any of these pictures. Y'all must be a lot smarter than me if you figured these out

Who is Rick Ocasek and what is he? Maybe the name has something to do with all the answers......

Thought #11 was quite clever.

[10] you can wiki him. Not that that has helped me...

Excellent puzzle! I especially loved the last clue!

Neither the titular musician nor his band has yet helped me get the slightest insight in to this puzzle yet...

[10] [11] [14] focus on his band not on him.

[14] Stick with the band, but subtract the S.

I think #9 should have been carton

Any clue on 2?

[18] It is what is not there.

I was making it too hard.

OK I've made a lot of progress. I got something for #7, but I don't think it's right. Any help with 7?

[21] If you've got the theme, 7 is straightforward. Theme goes first.

This hurt...it took four of us turning off our brains to come up with this one...
Stop thinking...that's the secret...

[22] Thanks. For the longest time they looked like decks of cards to me. That wasn't doing anything for me.

You definitely need the theme to do this one!

Thanks to Jewelia [16] or this one was impossible.

I was 94th and it was after midnight.

wow, squeaked in at 99 at 7:57 am EST!!

101 at 8:45 EST :(

I so desperately wanted #11 to be Carburetor!

#3 is what killed me! Took me forever, and I totally knew who she was. That was me, not the clue. Nice puzzle!

Darn. The hint I needed appeared moments after I quit last night! Oh, well. I still don't regret trying out my new Wii Fit last night (thus making me want to go to bed, rather than sitting at my computer another half-hour)

[29] Wii Fit Rox!!! The best recommendation I can make is for you to get a silicon cover for the balance board. I keep my feet and my board super clean, but it still got footprints where my feet go.

Very nice. Just tough enough.

I think I have the theme but thats about it. I can't even figure out any of these clues

[32] If you were a resident of Rio de Janeiro who exchanged currencies for a living, had a sweet tooth and studied maps in your spare time, you'd be a caramel-eating, cartography-loving, carry-trading carioca.
