Who the hell ARE these people?

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

During a normal, friendly dopefest in California you suddenly experience one of those pesky rolling blackouts, during which everyone’s name tags have been ripped off and replaced with the following

  1. Jello ends win the heart of a female (7)
  2. Initially someone called you regarding llama’s top half (6)
  3. Alien inserted into a bookkeeper follows Mr Brown (11)
  4. Master Puzzler says Boo! in the park, initially (6)
  5. Had New York mixed with useful results (5)
  6. Topless garden does anger Roys head horribly (5, 6)
  7. Brassy Singer (8)
  8. Nun, who lost her female sheep, pled to the first heir, t’was messy (10)
  9. Heartless report (8)
  10. Something tough gets partially angry in real life (9)
  11. Changing of the guard in Eastern Europe (7)
  12. Can someone initially get the parasites back off this topless madam? (5, 5)

Being a newbie, you don’t recognise anyone’s face. Can you tell, who you’re drinking with down with?

I don’t get it. Is it just me?

3

#6 is Arden Ranger.

4

#2 is Scylla.

5

#5 is handy.

6

Is #7 Tuba Diva?

7

So far so good.

8

I don’t think I’m on your list, however . . . :slight_smile:

9

I can contribute:

  1. Coldfire

and number 4 seems vaguely familiar…

10

also,

  1. Gaudere
11

#12 at the party, eh…I’d like to see that!

12

#10 is hardygrrl.

13

#3 might be Libertarian (with ET=alien inside LIBRARIAN=bookkeeper), but I don’t see the Mr.
Brown part.

14

It really should have been Mr Browne as in Harry Browne leader of the Libertarian Party.

You’re doing well, only

  1. Jello ends win the heart of a female (7)
  2. Nun, who lost her female sheep, pled to the first heir, t’was messy (10)

Left to go. 8 isn’t a very good clue though so if no-one gets it today I’ll give a hint tomorrow.

15

Also clue 1 might make more sense if the clue is reordered thusly:

Win the heart of a female with Jello ends (7)

16

McMurphy: a winner never cheats and a cheater never wins, it’s true, but can you give us a hint?

17

And (4) and (12), no? Biotop has obliquely referred to them, so I’m guessing that he knows who they are, but they haven’t been explicitly mentioned.

I’m gonna have a think about 'em now…

18

Oops. I somehow failed to notice that (4) is Biotop!

#12 is Cecil Adams.
