"What do you call a destitute, venerable and benevolent person who doesn't let things bring them down?"
-1. large scale -2. satire -3. bisect -4. word with palm or auto -5. entryway -6. tine -7. you might toss it? -8. carrying a spare tire? -9. fervor -10. sparse -11. cake topper? -12. use an epee -13. change -14. a flower or a chicken? -15. belief -16. pie nut -17. tilted -18. reside -19. bravery -20. put off -21. guide -22. obsolete -23. preference
