This is terrific....but where can we get the answers??? Please email them to me.
Thanks,
Rochelle
I wish I knew all the answers myself - I was hoping to have a flood of suggestions. So far, not a one.
WHAT? You don't know the answers?! And I have been working tirelessly at it. Tsk. Tsk.
I have reasonable guesses for 17 of 67. To email that number would be embarrassing!
Anon: I know *some* of the answers; I was hoping you'd know the others. Send 'em along, I say.
Aishwarya: Did you get 'Hamlet' for 'rented bacon'? :) I thought that was particularly wicked.
I did not, and I hope you are suitably ashamed of yourself for coming up with it.
Ha. I wonder if I can tempt the Jabberwock to attempt these, film buff that he is...
