Axe that half-assed gag (20) muzzle - mule = zz by fabpig

Doesn't give a toss when running away (2) fleeing - fling = ee by Yoruichi-san

Unbundle the puzzle (8) baffle bale = ff by fabpig

No longer the long time largest corporation (16) Exxon - eon = xx by fabpig

Bum shoulder relieved (4)

Happens not to belong to us (6) occurs - ours = cc by Yoruichi-san

The top non-executive (6) summit - suit = mm by Yoruichi-san

A dirty dirty place expunged (2)

Left this Earth in style (2)

Expelling the popular student stung (2)

Went downhill from the time they were truent (6) skipped - skied = pp by Yoruichi-san

I think this will finish it.

Bum shoulder relieved (4) - beggar - bear = gg

A dirty dirty place expunged (2) - sooty - sty = oo

Left this Earth in style (2) - classy - clay = ss

Expelling the popular student stung (2) - conned - coed = nn

yes sir, all correct

"not your cup of tea" ;P

yeah Y-san, don't have OCD, just like java (2,8). have a bunch of these. may post more shortly.

ahh, the numbers in parenthesis represent the would be double letter scores in the game of Scrabble ©. meant as possible clues to winnow out potential letters. think it may have inadvertantly misled anyone familiar with typical cryptic clues (you there, fabpig?)

EDIT: right on phil1882, thanks
