I thought of Dimitry Terr(yn) since he is sort of cute and (yn=in), but I don't think I am right with that.
Besides, I won't suggest this, because then I will be called a gutterbrain again.:frown:

1. fancy russian included

Is it me?
Yes it is, cyrus.

'Included' indicates that the answer is directly embedded or hidden in the rest of the clue.

I've got no idea which one you're talking about.
 
Edit:Nevermind.

damn, arildno beat me. The link above is to the profile page for the user "a moron"
 
Nah! That's too direct. And there'd be too many superfluous words in the clue, if that were to be the answer.
 
7. be a moron, silly!

B a .....?
 
7. Last name of a former quarterback that was a pro star in both Canada and the US together with the first (nick)name of a former college football coach.
 
8. She performed a Vicker's test on the subject and proclaimed __________ !

9. mount Saint Man, clumsily

10. crazy as shelter

Correct George!

7. be a moron, silly
'silly' indicates there's an anagram involved - jumble 'be a moron' to get moonbear.

And for George's response, I believe he's talking about Warren Moon and Paul "Bear" Bryant
 
Who do you think we are to solve these man, Ken Jennings?

Correct George!

I guess I wasn't as obscure as I thought. :biggrin:
 
8. Math Is Hard since a Vickers test is a hardness test.

Not to someone that knows the answer (and a little bit about football - can't help it, I'm a Buckeye).

11. Only a resumé? O, that's strange!

The next one is a wee bit of a stretch...so be warned.

12. It flows through an Ouroboros.
 
George Jones said:

Correct again!

8. She performed a Vickers test on the subject and proclaimed __________ !
 
No cyrus - unless you have an explanation that beats my fairly convoluted one.
 
Look at his Icon, the thing flows into itself as it goes round and round, you gutterbrain.
 
11. Only a resumé? O, that's strange

O theswerve O ?

loseyourname
 
Dammit, your too clever George!

Couldn't have been closer! But sorry, no cigar.

As for Perennial's avatar, I'll let you have half a point for that (or half a pint, whichever you prefer) - but it's not anywhere near as obscure as the answer I intend for it.

PS : loseyourname is correct, George. By the way, I now dub thee, Sir George!

Here, I was thinking like Cyrus.
 
So you know what the creature is. And what might flow through this creature?

I thinking along this line, too.

Blood, venom, time, space ... SpaceTiger?

:smile: No George, but you were close.
