Hello, folks! For this puzzle the answers are current movie titles. The "bait and switch" is that each of the original titles were anagrammed and then the words of the anagrammed title were replaced with synonyms. Can you retrace the path to the original movie title?
That Man Outsmart = He Outwit :anagram: Whiteout
1. Sweet Shop
2. Geeks Like Fiction
3. Most Skillful Destruction
4. A Psychic Oxter
5. Trendy Humor
6. KGB Agent Squid Quota
7. Dirty Idea Night
8. Wireless Pig
9. Fret Also Mister
10. Citified Bladder Experts
11. Spherical Chart
12. Baby Mama

The civil war started, the military divided,
Both sides were stubborn, but it eventually subsided.
The South was still mad, but back they started to trickle,
Even though their attitude was as sour as a pickle. - armadillo (army dill oh

These are the state symbols of Texas
I think that the beginning is the best place to start.
Bound for Virginia settlers depart.
By the Chesapeake Bay is where Jamestown sat,
Filled with patriotic men and women with lacy hats. - This could be bluebonnet the state flower or Blue Lacy the state dog
As the country grew, it’s freedom was saved,
Well, everyone except those who were enslaved.
Some of them were teased, others were shunned,
Causing both North and South to pull out their guns. - Northern Mocking Bird the state bird
The civil war started, the military divided,
Both sides were stubborn, but it eventually subsided.
The South was still mad, but back they started to trickle,
Even though their attitude was as sour as a pickle.
Lucky for us, the war here was through,
But then we got into World War II.
To help out over seas, we grew gardens in our yards,
And anything we didn’t eat, we gave to others in jars. -Something about there two verses gives me the pecan (pee-can with trickle and jars) but also the prickly pear (pair with pickle and WWII)
I think that I’ll finish with something from today,
Because we know today is tomorrow’s yesterday.
Even though history may sometimes seem unreal,
You may be making it when you can’t stop honking on the wheel. - Longhorn one of the the state animals

I’m here to ask, would you like to dance?
I’ll lead you in, just give me the chance.
Smooth and easy; from here to there.
Improv to start, neither always nor rare.
Transitions around; do not interrupt me!
From one to another, it seems so easy.
bridge? or segue?

Two more doubtful guesses:
check up and down

I feel bad for not participating more in this wonderful riddle. Here are two more guesses.
sit on (both sides of) the fence
smoke and mirrors
-
poke with a trident thus kaput = fork over?
-
these are idioms or common sayings that have synonyms or misinterpretations substituted?
kinda dehyrated per calcified remain = dry as a bone (or bone dry)
in the lead about chess heavenward = check up

God's Railway = the prefix used for "god" is "theo" and "Ry" is the common abbreviation for railway so "Theory" is the theme. I was also hoping for a bit of misdirection in thinking about religion with "Peter, Paul or Mary" and "desert god"
1. A revolutionaries heart changes over time -
2. And Peter, Paul or Mary circle the line -
3. Battery barter, I hear them say -
4. Not even Grammie gets to play -
5. Disorderly conduct has an odd smell at first -
6. And bemused gabbing will make a large burst -
7. Moving, yet trivial correspondence -
8. Put it in gravy for more importance -
9. Half of the alphabet, one hundred tiny things -
10. What used to count for less feelings -
11. A desert god had once agreed -
12. Danger may be found in seed -
I had fun guys. Thanks, to all who participated!
-
Woohoo! that is definely it. Way to go, Wilson!Set? [this one is a "double definition" A desert god = Set; also once something is agreed it is "set".-hm]

I assume that you mean light has different speeds in different mediums. Yes, I am aware of that. I even heard that they have used a sort of super dense crystal and lasers to slow down the speed of light to like 20mph. the point is that light has the same speed in the same medium regardless of the speed of the speeds of the objects passing each other. Light speed is the staring point you have to use a factor for the medium as well. Its consistency is why you get things like refraction.i suggest you read up on light, there are different speeds of light
light speed is an out dated and more generalized term

Nope, but this is the only one left. I think you were closer before but you had the wrong god.a big wet one....Flood?
-
Not that simple.Rotation?
That is it!string ("Peter, Paul or Mary" all famous saints thus st + "circle" = ring and somewhat synonymous with "line"
-
You found it!germ (Danger may directed by "be found in" and synonymous with "seed"

5. Fundamentalist?
11. Idolatry?
12. Latent?
2. Stage? or Chart?
Aside.(P,P&M has caused me to think of
"Puff the Magic Dragon".Will take me
some time to forgive you)
Sorry, Wilson, none of those are it. Don't blame me I said P, P or M.

Once again, that is right for #5.Hey hm, I hadn't honestly figured out the theme until now.
theories
Yes, that is the theme. Any thoughts how that relates to the title clue?
chaos - (conduct has on add smell directed by "at first" and synonymous with "Disorderly"
Only three left.
-
Of coursebig bang (anagram of "gabbing" directed by "bemused" and synonymous with "large burst")
that is exactly right. Do you have any thoughts as to the theme? I'm sure you do but it may help others.
-
Hello, PG. Right on for #7!relativity ("yet trivial" anagram and psuedo synonym to correspondence)[and "moving" is instructions to anagram -HM]
-
Good morning, Wilson. I think you are getting the hang of these.[spoiler='Good morning HM.
Most (all?) of these will probably not leave the station.
']
2. Branch?
3. Cell? [HM explanation: Battery (cell) barter (sell), I hear them say (is a clue that I am looking for homophones)]
7. Chain(letter)?

On a Hill is a Green House
In that Green House is a White House
In that White House is a Red House
In that Red House is a bunch of black and white lil Babies.
What am I?
That a greenhouse like for growing vegetabels has a birdhouse or other sort of container inside of it that happens to be white. Inside of the birdhouse some ants or termites have made a home (red house) and their larvae and workers (which are the babies of the queen) are white and black.
