Ok, I know I promised but blame it on Scottie, or the late lunch, or the unbelievably long line at the bank on a Friday afternoon before a three day weekend.
Also inspired by the slew of lists seen here most recently. Well here goes. You kids play amongst yourselves for a while.
1. Understands about greeting nary one existing question. (7)
2. Behold,you and me on the cross. (5)
3. Barely passing and the next one coming and going before crazy old sailor. (9)
4. Most elementary question in an Old World grouping one inside a shortened many. (7)
5. Asp and arch shapes around kid, that is. (7)
6. Roach before an exclamation, not outerspace existence. (6)
7. Total reversal of afterthought is more average sized. (4)
8. Look, man, twin Vipers move over mirrored in previous subcutaneous drip. (11)
9. Small spelling error encircled. NOTE: mass abreviated passport. (7)
0. Be quiet, alias last listed. Not me surrounding urban transit. (9)
The theme of the list and the "answers" will most likely come pretty quickly. The fun? is figuring out the rationale behind the translation.
For those new to these Play on Word Quickies: Each word or two (generally speaking) of the puzzle corresponds to a letter or two (generally speaking) "spelling" out the answer. Other descriptors can be thrown in refering to the relation of individual letters. The letters will "read" left to right as presented unless there is a descriptor that directs otherwise. For the most part, punctuation is not part of the answer but rather to make the clue read better. Other than that, the clues are very precise. There are no unnecessary words in the clues or extra letters in the answers.
