The scenarios below lead to sentences that rhyme with old familiar sayings, adages, saws, titles, or lyrics. Provide both the original saying (OS) and the rhyming sentence (RS). First-letter hints have been provided.

-1. A reporter saw Marcel on a rink. Marcel gestured to Frosty, the only spectator. The headline read:
(OS) T W F N M
(RS) M S F S

-2. Two Alaskan cities disputed where a dogsled race should begin. Although Anchorage won, this defiant slogan lives on:
(OS) H I W T H I
(RS) N I W T S I

-3. A man employed an old hag to shave him daily. One day she refused, taking a walk instead. Confronted, she explained:
(OS) A R S G N M
(RS) A S C L N B

-4. A chess aficionado had a set with mythical beings as pieces. One was a troll-like rook, thus the saying:
(OS) A M H I H C
(RS) A F G I H C

-5. GI Joe shyly threw metallic confetti on the street when no one was looking. Thus it was said that:
(OS) A T G I N G
(RS) D T L I N B

-6. Competing for attention with his famous daredevil dad, the little namesake son wore a tuxedo made of $20 bills. The headline read:
(OS) M I T R O A E
(RS) M I T S O S E

-7. When asked if he blamed his first-year halfback for losing the game, the coach replied philosophically:
(OS) T T W T C C
(RS) T T W T R F

-8. A grave robber got bored with corpses and raided a beehive one night. Carrying the comb home, he was shot with a tranquillizer gun, proving that:
(OS) A F A H M A S P
(RS) A G A H H A S D

-9. A scientist discovered that certain amphibians are nomadic, without exception. In other words:
(OS) A R L T R
(RS) A T N T R
