CLUES:
- The guest in seat 6 will be seated directly across from an ex-coworker.
- The only queen and king will sit on the two long sides and neither will be
next to a corner
- Eddie thought it would be clever to put the two guests who share a name together
in seats 12 and 13.
- Vader, Armstrong, Socrates and Humperdink all have corners to their immediate
right.
- A royal is seated to the left of an astronaut and is also directly across
from someone with a vulnerable body part.
- St. Paul will perhaps be upset that he didn't get a corner seat like he requested
but may be delighted that he's next to someone else who also suffered persecution
for their beliefs.
- The person who'll sit in seat 9 will probably get tired of being asked why
he changed his name, but having a King to his left will more than make up for
that.
- The one who was persecuted by Pope Shit for Brains will be seated directly
across from the host and will have the only biblical character to his left.
- The guest in Seat 1 will no doubt be fascinated by the guest to his right
and ask him lots of questions (for which he is known).
- Eddie is hoping the painter who loves the stipple effect won't be too embarrassed
by the fact that the guest on his right has tape on his mouth or be too creeped
out by the one sitting directly across from him wearing all black, no doubt.
- The painter of "Happily Lisa" will be pleased to have a famous letterwriter
on his left.
