Malarkey got #1 and #3 a, c, and h.
Karen got #3 d and h, and missed the rest (Roy of "Siegfried and..." is Roy Horn, BTW). I've a feeling she's going to have a Homer Simpson moment ("D'oh!") when she finds out who Roy Harold Scherer, Jr. is....
:-)
Daisy Juliette Baker is probably the hardest o'the bunch. I think there's only one regular reader who might get it, but I won't be surprised if he doesn't.
