1..You surprise me with a lack of considering a foreign company where public acclaim has long been there.

2..His 1st name is also the title of the TV show where he eliminates those who deserve it.

3..Republic of China is the valid pick of geordi & hoop.

4..Waq knew the obscure Hec Ransey. I say "obscure", cause your Testmeister had to look that one up, So Waq gets the "most complete" designation this time. But, hey, don't the rest of you even think about being discouraged as test-takers.

5..Geordi has been given the Testmeister Distinguished Service Medal here. Like a Life Peer, he can't pass it to his bratty kids.

6..JC, geordi & hoop return us to those thrilling days of yesteryear. Minnie Minoso rides again!

7..Pinot gives the execution a French twist...or was he speaking of her hairdo? Rbny & geordi are accurate here.

8..About Terif & JC's answers, we proclaim, "That's All Right".

9..Yeah, Jared's in trouble beyond keeping the pounds off. Go with Terif's wording, for geordi is dispensing with the trial.

10..I wonder if the Drifters were recalling those days with "Up on the Roof". Ya always gots the Follies, "When this old world starts getting me down". Credit to sleep.

You have 3 to fix, me buckos.
