Seriously, let’s hear it for baggage handlers .

I wonder if this guy has both Donovan Leitch and Offer Shlomi as branches of his family tree.
For the record, I will not be making this anytime soon (read never unless forced).

I’m pretty sure the video nighthawks posted was CGI. This one isn’t.

Another term used around trucking is “swamper.”
The swamper is usually a direct employee of the trucking company who accompanies the driver and loads and unloads the truck at docks where the shipping or receiving company hasn’t its own employees assigned to that duty (sadly, to my direct knowledge, many of the drivers don’t lift a finger to help no matter what the load or manoeuvring necessary).
I’ve not been involved as either a driver or swamper; it’s merely an observed behaviour.
1) I’m claustrophobic, that was a nightmare for me.
2) Either thoroughly wash the peels first, or use organic. Bananas are incredibly heavily sprayed. When in Costa Rica we could smell the pesticides more than a mile away from the plantations.
3) Pretty cool!
Well… I’m here to offer a solution… but only to the Cleo puzzle… sorry… that’s as far as my petty power extends.

You can check your work, or relieve your puzzlement…

BTW… A reminder, pretty please…
If you want to mention anything specific about a particular difference….such as its location, nature, or anything else that might help another solver find it…
Please please please use a spoiler tag, so the late arrivals can enjoy a little solving fun without any clues.

…was the signature; fortunately I remembered that has happened before. At about 2:30 am after we’ve returned home from a friend’s place outside of Munich…
Bassets with bazookas, on the other side – not scary at all.
The Cliffords keep their calm only because they know that Cleo is able (and willing) to protect them from any size of cats.
Fun fact: T-Rex RNA-remains suggest that they must have tasted like chicken.

WOW!
A city in Whales? Possibly Aberyswyth?

OK; got them.
Me too! Haven’t been able to say that for a while!

I’m having difficulty holding onto dinner after watching that.
They are basically _lumpers_. Just think of it as a 3D Tetris.
A new word for me!

Yup. I’ve run into a lot of taxonomy lumpers and splitters!
That’s the only use I’d heard before… Though I thought of it as slang.
Sokoban – unless the items vanish whenever one row is full.
No; wait – so it’s Tetris after all…

I know this is juvenile, but I like the way the “Fever” dancers raise their butts on the line “moon lights up the night.”
I am not going to get serious about solving, but I thought it was agreed to leave Claude’s pair alone.
The youngest she could be here is 41.
Is everybody puzzled, Cleo Pals?
Are all you Puzzle People perplexed?

Stupid dog!

I got them all for a change. I always love how nonchalant they are about Cleo carrying a bazooka. Just Cleo being Cleo.
That dog has a lot of bazookas…
Good morning puzzlers!

Y’ll have a plate at a jazz club...(((((HuGz!)))))
So, taco salad (close enough to nachos) for dinner tonight, while listening to Cannonball Aderly.
Loved all the ‘tough guys’ videos! Especially the West Side Story gangs.
a cat that big would be no less scary or dangerous than a t-rex
Really? – Who would have thought.
well, EXCUUUUUUUUUSE ME!
Alright; you are excused. 😉

Amazing, isn’t it!
