TOPEKA
Quilt answer: BOBCAT, first letters down.

TOPEKA is the one I'm choosing because it works for the quilt.
***
BOBSLED
OTIS
BUNYAN
CALORIE
ALLEY
TOPEKA
I'm not sure how "Chandler" fits in here, but BOBCAT works as the
quilt answer for both "Carnivore" and "Comic Cop," and it's in the
first column reading downward.

yankee candle shows up as a dependent on my tax returns because my

Quilt solution: BOBCAT (A Bobcat is another name for a wild

reference is, unless it's a reference to another brand of small
frontloaders.

and know I understand your last reference after looking it up. the
nba franchise in charlotte, nc has a center whose first name is
tyson. rather obscure, given the lengths you took to explain about
the candle maker/seller variety.

you cannot possibly do worse than me, unless you try really hard, and
I am sure there are plenty of people out there who would take some
amount of pleasure in beating me. at something, that is.

I would, but I'm prone to obsessing about things like this, and I
don't have the time for that. Sorry, Stephen. Sorry, Mark. I do
enjoy them as a spectator sport, however.

probably Topeka
My guess for the quilt is COYOTE. However, that doesn't fit a couple of
the answers above, so it's probably wrong. Or maybe those answers are
wrong.
