Here's a rerun of one of my older puzzles. Too lazy to make a new one... sad

Each of the answers for this puzzle will include the words "in the", consecutively and in that order, in the middle. Some may have some insignificant word at the beginning such as "A" or "The" or the like.

-1. a ludicrous concept or fanciful notion
-2. this plant
-3. toy or fast food chain
-4. a hidden secret strength or undisclosed advantage
-5. a person lacking initiative or imagination
-6. a boost or act of encouragement
-7. to be very old
-8. a wild guess
-9. give up in the face of defeat
-10. a small insignificant amount
-11. Seals and Crofts song title
-12. a conniving person who does things behind people's backs
-13. 1952 Gene Kelly/Debbie Reynolds movie
-14. story whose characters include a badger, a rat, a mole and a toad
-15. having wide hips
-16. sad
-17. something which disappoints by failing to deliver anything of value, despite a showy beginning
-18. a small dingy place such as a bar or restaurant
-19. a small but irritating flaw that spoils the whole
-20. a secret source of shame
-21. Kansas song title
-22. Salinger title
-23. a bothersome person
-24. someone who is basically good hearted but lacking social graces and respect for the law
-25. flighty, daydreaming


Did you ever stop to think and then forget to start again?

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.
