    Um, that went swiftly! Right except for 13.
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    11: are you putting "HIM" in caps to emphasize, as an acronym, or something else?

    13: I know there is a song called "Crawling Towards the Sun" which would fit the clue. Any chance this song is a reference to a story of the same name?

    15: The Catcher in the Rye

    I said the same thing to Nightie....
    "Come away O human child!To the waters of the wild, With a faery hand in hand, For the worlds more full of weeping than you can understand."
    W.B.Yeats

    "If it looks like a Dwarf and smells like a Dwarf, then it's probably a Dwarf (or a latrine wearing dungarees)"

    With the blessing of the great Pendragon, I have the honor of posting the next list. After this, you might have to call me Pundragon. I have a little more twisted sense of humor.
    1. It goes right through town Main Street by Sinclair Lewis
    2. Patty Hearst? Kidnapped
    3. Burger King theme? As You Like It
    4. Soda Jerk CEO?
    5. Once it burns to the ground...
    6. "It's not unusual to be loved by anyone." Tom Jones
    7. Worn out shoes?
    8. On the menu under appetizers: Buffalo Squab?
    9. You like him, I like him.
    10. Eva, Magda, and Zsa Zsa The Three Sister by Chekhov
    11. For Everything there is a season - tern, tern, tern
    12. Dear Mom stop Pops bit it stop Love ya and I really mean it stop Eddie Oedipus Rex
    13. A disease you catch at the bus station?
    14. He has a rake...
    15. Loam
    16. Sergeant York, for one
    17. Where do kittens sleep? Cat's Cradle by the late, great Kurt Vonnegut, JR.
    18. "Yoo hoo! Yoo hoo! You in the schooner..."
    19. "Sir, I've got Oscar on line 2."
    20. Dimaggio: "I got it! I got it! I don't got it."
    Not quite as sophisticated as Mr. P, but enjoy.
