Default The Invisible Idiot Game

The Invisible Idiot game is quite simple once you get the hang of it. Below are ten clues representing names that come from a specific category (i.e. actors, musicians, etc.). Each clue is a series of words. To solve the clue, you must find words that mean the same thing as those in the clue. Once you get all of the words in a clue, string them together and it will sound like the name. Different parts of one word are separated by commas, and different words are separated by semi-colons. So, for the clue "Christmas Song; Thorn, Web" you'd get "Carol; Burr, Net." Carol Burnett. See? Easy. :wink:

1 point per solved clue, 3 points for getting the category, and 2 extra points for solving the whole thing at once (including the category) before any of the clues are solved. The person with the most points once the whole thing is solved (including the category) posts the next set of clues.

Oh, and if you're wondering, the name "Invisible Idiot" comes from the linguist who tried to translate "Out of sight, out of mind," literally.

The clues:

Hello (slang), Manipulatory appendage; Retained, An attraction

Sensory organ, Bag; To possess knowledge of (past tense), 1000 kilograms

Mathematical operation, Antonym of lose; Centre, Male elephant

To steal (slang), A solid hydrocarbon, BABBlers; To come to terms with something, Vase, Scream (onomatopoeia), To swear

Girl (slang), Sick, Huh (Canadian), Letter of the alphabet; Unit equal to one centimetre per second squared, Flower

To put into; To perform (music), Pronoun (object)

An enthusiast, Sister (abbreviated); A squirrel's nest, Dull pain

A ladder, A bog; To sell, Monarch

24 hours, To make an offer (buying); Area sheltered from wind, Letter of the alphabet

Automobile, A title of nobility; To speak, To increase

Good luck!
