If you know the ones I don't know, you could PM me.

Nah, only kidding!

To do a spoiler is really simple. Obviously not on this thread but you know when you reply with the quote above your reply. Well, instead of the QUOTE word, the word SPOILER takes its place.

So you type a spoiler in between the [SPOILER]and your spoiler text and/or smilies goes in the middle and then type[/SPOILER]

Congratulations, Geeky Girl! She was the first to get all of them correct.

Go ahead and pick out a sig quote for me, if you wish.

Here are the answers.

1. Painless Operation
2. Wrong end of the stick
3. Down-right stupid
4. Beaten black and blue
5. What's black and white and read all over?
6. Robin Hood
7. For once in my life
8. Go up in smoke
9. Skate on thin ice
10. Hijacking

Close. You got #3 and #8 incorrect. They were "Comet sucks" and "cnredd is an a-hole" respectively.
