7) Tapped mine Oregon
8) A six-ounce can of Coke Minnesota
9) Iced tea Louisiana
10) Advice from someone regarding farming tough earth Idaho
11) Happens in a prison laundry Washington
12) Something a bulldog says
13) Program start Maine
14) R.'s a lumberjack Arkansas
15) A boy scout in Utah in 1912 Indiana
16) Illinois town's landward boundary North Carolina
17) Wild, yet pure West Virginia
18) Paging Stewart
19) Yes, in St. Petersburg Nevada
20) Same as the republic Georgia
21) Off to work I go Iowa
22) It's in the water Florida
23) Torchbearer New York
24) Lost a pirate somewhere
25) Bishop's comment about mushrooms

Here are two easy ones.

1) Dry area - Arid Zona - Arizona
15) A boy scout in Utah in 1912 - Indiana (from Indiana Jones)

Bingo. Two down. I was aiming for something a little more obscure than saying "Henry, the Professor" but you picked it up pretty quick.

2) Ted Stryker's problem when trying to drink

Mississippi? He would miss his mouth completely with the beverage.

Right. "Mis-sip" is what I was going for.

Advice from someone regarding farming tough earth

Idaho?

*groan*

Raven Hawk · 06-17-2004, 06:33 PM

R.'s a lumberjack = Arkansas

henry296 · 06-17-2004, 06:36 PM

Yes, In St. Petersburg

Flori-DA

Buzzbee · 06-17-2004, 06:38 PM

Off to work I go

Iowa

Bad bumper sticker --> I owe, I owe. It's off to work I go.

Bad-example · 06-17-2004, 06:41 PM

3) Colossal, yet isolated

Sounds like Alaska

Nevermind, I didn't see that had been guessed already.

Wolfpack · 06-17-2004, 06:47 PM

Buzzbee goes three for three on Oregon, Idaho, and Iowa.

Raven Hawk is right on Arkansas.

henry and bad-example miss. (Alaska is still not the right answer.)

I admit I was scraping around a bit on Idaho. I thought of more tasteless ways to do it, but passed.

Raven Hawk · 06-17-2004, 06:49 PM

Puking one's guts out because of a loud concert

Illinois

Wolfpack · 06-17-2004, 09:04 PM

14 down, 11 to go. How long should I wait before dropping more hints?

QuikSand · 06-17-2004, 09:06 PM

20) Same as the republic

Georgia?

Yes. I had to think about this clue for a bit because I didn't want to make it overly obvious.

pennywisesb · 06-17-2004, 09:20 PM

Passacaglia gets NY, MattJones gets Maine, and Taz gets Florida.

Wolfpack · 06-17-2004, 10:54 PM

I believe these are the ones that are left....

9) Iced tea Louisiana
12) Something a bulldog says
16) Illinois town's landward boundary North Carolina
18) Paging Stewart
19) Yes, in St. Petersburg Nevada
24) Lost a pirate somewhere
25) Bishop's comment about mushrooms

ScottVib · 06-17-2004, 11:32 PM

19.) South Dakota?

24) Lost a pirate somewhere

Only thing I could think of was Roberto Clemente and thus Pennsylvania.

Huckleberry · 06-18-2004, 08:11 AM

Iced tea - Louisiana (Luzianne)

Wolfpack · 06-18-2004, 09:08 AM

Only Huckleberry is right of the most recent answers.

I'm contemplating additional hints. Are they warranted?

Huckleberry · 06-18-2004, 09:52 AM

19. Nevada?

Raven Hawk · 06-18-2004, 09:53 AM

18. Paging Stewart - Kansas (Can Sass?) i.e. Stewart's Character on MADTV

"Bill's Television" would be a good clue for Pennsylvania...

Alf · 06-18-2004, 10:07 AM

19 - North Dakota

Wolfpack · 06-18-2004, 10:45 AM

Huckleberry finally relieves everyone of the burden of 19. The Neva River flows through St. Petersburg, so it's "Neva-Da". The St. Petersburg piece of the clue was crucial there, as it was more specific than Russia as a whole.

Raven Hawk misses and Alf misses by default.

Wolfpack · 06-18-2004, 10:47 AM

Dola...

Five to go and these seem to be the jawbreakers of the group.

Wolfpack · 06-18-2004, 10:48 AM

Double-dola...

I also note that no one's even taken a cut at (16).
