	A Moe Syzlak reference earns this quiz some love from me.

	this is better than the aaa quiz as it has less names & geography specifics - this is a fairly comprehensive list of possible crossword answers for aae

	@texanole: i would agree with you IF this were a spanish language quiz, but in english the singular of "tamales" is "tamale". most of the time when we adopt words from other languages, we don't keep the native rules for pluralization (ex: we usually write chateaus even though the correct french is chateaux).

	Technically speaking, a palace is not a kind of castle. Castles have defensive military purposes, while palaces are essentially giant mansions.

	I only got Natasha because she is a stereotypical "femme FATALE".

	7 correct. THIS is why I don't do crossword puzzles.

	A woman who runs a brothel is a madam, not a madame — both spellings work for the form of address, but only the shorter one for that particular meaning.

	@atakdog: Did a double-check and, although this spelling appears for my original definition in the Online Slang Dictionary, I have changed the clue to a more technically correct one.

	Nice shout out to Moe from "The Simpsons" with "car hole".

	Does nobody else find it odd that clowns are included in the parade clue? Clowns? Not that clowns aren't a part of some parades, but I would name somewhere between 25 and 50 things more generally characteristic of parades than clowns. I'm not even sure that clowns would occur to me. Not that it would change the results, because if you can't get it from "procession" and "floats" there's no hope for you ever getting it, but the inclusion of clowns just really seems odd.

	Why was I under the impression that it was "Natasha Nogoodnik" and "Boris Badinoff" on Rocky and Bulwinkle?

	Ravage and Damage can be used interchangeably in this case, I think.

	garage is french for car hole

	Vacate doesn't necessarily mean "permanently."

	A palace is not a kind of castle any more than a sword is a kind of catapult.

	A garage? Hey fellas, a garage. Well, oh la de da, Mr. French man.

	@bingobongo, rampage doesn't fit as it has two letters between the first and second As. The quiz is a_a_e, not a_ _a_e.
