-1. Off the wall; odd
-2. Full of spunk
-3. Homo sapiens sapiens or Canis familiaris
-4. On the lam
-5. National park in Montana
-6. Mexican plantation
-7. Too much keeps you up at night
-8. The loan arranger
-9. Describes "The Age of Reason" or "The Roaring Twenties"
-10. Fast and able
-11. For peace of mind, keep it clear
-12. Hollywood's notorious madam
-13. "Plop plop fizz fizz," for example
-14. Belief you bring with you to your next life
