Whoa. Lost connection after last post and then had to run off to work for a few hours. Way to go, trevor! And another virtuoso performance, ixion. By the way, ixie, I'm reading a superbly written book called Subjects unto the Same King, in which this line appears:
"Rhode Island had been excluded from the 1643 establishment of the United Colonies, and it was derided by leaders of the other English colonies as a cesspool of religious and political radicalism that overflowed far too often for the safety and comfort of its neighbors."
It's so nice to see that the writers of your beloved Family Guy are upholding RI's reputation as a cesspool full of loonies.

welcome back wristo.
as i see it - 3 wordplays to match up with 3 synonyms


3.Wolfed into free menu(7)

4.Dismissing a Canadian, North American the French(7)[can only match with pitch or bone]

7.Expenses interrupted by short stubborn person(7)[[can only match with Defends or bone]

Defends(7)

Bone(7)

the 3 answers have to start and end with a pair of letters from B K E N E S.
