[5] It's about the words they are saying. When I made this, they were in the news a lot about what they said (slang).
[9] This was my first puzzle attempt (albeit not a good one). After getting some later submissions published, I never expected this one to go anywhere but the trash.
I was trying to find a way to not make the cryptopix a rhebus (like so many of them are), but not require tons of research (which I don't like). It seems I failed.

Terrible puzzle. Way too obscure and the puzzle doesn't make sense unless you have the specific references in the context of the phrase. Thumbs down. :(
[15] I think the worst puzzles lately have been the ones that only the rabid Tanga insiders can get (you know the ones - mariage proposals, congratulations, and the subsequent nuptuals).
Gee, tough crowd. The duck did throw me, but other than that, no real complaints. And I never heard of the answer, either, but I was able to find it rather readily.
[22] thanks, that helped me... I was looking for something different - I watch the show avidly... still took me 30 minutes because I just couldn't get the last two pics.

Good thing that I am a fan of his. I got the first two and 3 gave me the last. Wow, I am 8th. That has never happened.

I hate the irrelevant information here: why a duck? And why the Dixie Chicks?

We have too many things pointed out in the mastodon picture there is only one thing(it is the same thing pointed out in two places)

That was tough! I don't watch this, so I had to google from the first 2 clues. Geez!

Boy that was really awful. I would never have gotten it without all the salt here.

I'm sorry, is this an actual phrase? Title of something?

ok, so if the last pic isn't supposed to get me to the dixie chicks then what...
i think i've got everything but the last word. and i've never been a fan so it's not clicking.
is the first word a commonly used abbreviation or the full word?

[12] 1. They are disrespecting the president.
2. I'd send you a clue, but I can't afford shipping.
3. Full word.

I'm a huge fan of the show and it still took me 2 minutes 17 seconds.
This puzzle combines my two favorite things... sci-fi and no sports.

[18] Duh, duh, duh - Didn't pay attention to the stethoscope and took me way longer than it should have!!
Yes, a bit awkward - but thanks for making the effort and submitting a puzzle!

Make sure you get the "the" in there ... 2nd words from end of the answer, but not clued in the puzzle.

Boo hoo.
My god there are so many whiny babies out there. You either know it, or you figure it out.
Stop complaining.

I got an answer of 5 words. Is there punctuation or other abbreviations? It is not accepting my answer!
Title, 'name', inclusive word, article, acronym

[20] It is clued, part of the mountain - s.
[22] Your sequence looks correct. No abbreviations or punctuation, but there is capitalization.
