Word Chain Game#1 by Ulster

Like most of my quizzes... I do not hand out answers on a silver platter. I like to think that people like me enjoy a bit of a mental challenge. For example, I never gave a second glance at a cryptic crosswords until I was on a station with Crockie Dundee and he pulled out a big piece of cold steel that wasn't a knife. Anyway, if the NT police have kept the case open... they will find the evidence they are looking for between the East Alligator River and the Diamantina River. If this rainy weather keeps up... the evidence may have been washed down to Cooper's Creek.
*All questions are within the guidelines.
Type-ins have been so generously handed out that I feel like Eddie McGuire on 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' when the next contestant is a pretty, young girl.
All racist inuendos are simply that... inuendos.
Have fun. Enjoy. God bless everyone who deserves blessing

Croatians swim in this sea. And probably Bosnians do too... when no Croatians are around. 😁😯
Adriatic
It was originally called the Flavian Theatre but that name lost its flavour when play watchers, on its grand opening, fled the place in droves after the first Christian was disemboweled by an armadillo... most of them regurgitating their breakfast of sauteed eels' legs.
Coliseum
A place to see old stuff. Dinosaur fossils, half-burned Confederate battle flags from the great Union victory at Chancellorsville. A first edition copy of a copy of the Zuckerberg Bible.
Museum
An Oceania nation has two of these pests that (believe it or not... look like ducks, fire quills at the first hint of a threat to them... and eat ants, for Pete's sake).
Marsupial
This set of islands in the Caribbean Sea include Antigua and Barbuda, Guadeloupe, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Martins and would probably still include Jamaica and Bermuda, If some interfering halfwit called Mercantile had not have upset the apple cart by telling everyone the world isn't flat.
Leeward Islands
Two battles at this quiet village in Nebraska in 1777 were the turning point of the American War of Independence. New York state then bought the copyright and all legal entitlements to transfer the history of the battles to this little village in New York state. To cut a long story short... the dyslexia or illiteracy of the clerk who prepared the paperwork, now has a quiet village in Florida claiming full legal rights. A village so private and low-key, its most famous resident is the lead screamer of a rock band that thought its name was an intialism of 'All Cool Don't Cry'.

Hors d'oeuvre
The time it takes waiting in a doctors' office or the time it takes for your divorce to be finalised.
Eternity
Road signs in the US show this word which means cease being in motion. In other nations it is not as user friendly. It says glaringly 'STOP'. A friend of mine told me he was driving through Alabamie and saw this word on a road sign. "And then?" I asked. "Well, I tossed my 1911 out the window with a flourish and dug in my pocket for my handkerchief.'
Yield
The dispersion or spread of a people from their original homeland.
Diaspora
A donkey. A foolish person. American word for derriere.
Ass
Second largest province in Austria. Capital is Graz.

An annoying sibling of your mother that insists of slobbering all over your face with kisses when you have just turned five... even though Dionne Warwick is playing loudly on the transistor on the mantle piece... in 1973.
