I should know more of these than I do, but to get us started:

Q07: Fake fake fake vomit
Q09: Zapping any kind of yo-yo into an owl
Q10: Emo roe (April Fool's Day familiar)
Q16: Taco Cat?
Q21: Whatever that old SC skill was: Lunging Thrust-Smack?
Q26: The dude who discovered Ag'kothyx (or whatever the hell that fruity-drink demon's name is)

The others I would have to take a crack at the wiki...

Was there any logic behind taco cat other than it contains cat and lunging thrust smack other than that its a popular skill?

Nicely done on the emo roe, I'd never have got that <_<

My bad: it was Thrust-Smack, an obsoleted SC skill, not LTS.
