Question

This is a variation on the earlier Rhyme Time puzzles created by Brandonb. This time each clue has (at least) two answers. The spelling of the rhyming words can be different but they should have the same number of syllables (and of course rhyme).

Example: watery flyer = wet jet / rain plane

1. monkey band

2. superlative dog

3. unemployed tunneler

4. upright support spirit

5. invertebrate virus

6. unsuccessful alcohol

7. dirty finger

8. reduce friction on pipe loop

9. computer covered in thick oil

10. untrue pastry

11. conceited storm

12. beast follicles

13. clown’s irons

14. lower maw

15. avian utterance

Now I'm leaving work, so I have to stop playing with puzzles...hopefully some will be left by the time I can get back to a computer! Good luck everyone!

1. Baboon Platoon?

3. Poorer Borer?

8. Lube Tube

1. Not quite. Yours is sort of an approximate rhyme. I was thinking of a different definition of "band".

3. Ha, I knew you guys would not disappoint me in coming up with new unexpected answers but that is not what I was thinking.

8. Right, but what is the second answer?
