that was a little bit of a stretch. I was stuck on a different first word that used the same two elements in reverse and was less of a stretch... but led me no where in conjunction with the other part. But the seconds half is just plain funny...
Oh, my... I can't believe I had the last word all along and could not for the life of me come up with a different way to spell the first one. Hint: It's only two words and the first one starts a couple of letters removed...

The man in blue is about to do something...go with what he WANTS to do, not what he IS doing.

Okay, whatever the stretch is, I'm not getting anything that makes a recognizable phrase...help?

It would have made alot more sense singular, but overall I liked it.

[6] I'm thinking that gave me the last half... but the first half is not clicking with me.

Ah! got it!
salt: this is not tied to the theme of the hypercross and easy OWWs, so don't think of "Stones" for the left half.

I think that I have two words, one for each picture, but I don't know where to go with them.

I still can't tell if that is a "Z" or a "2".. its killing me... in a bad way :)

[17] it's a Z

[17] It's a 'Z'.
Also note that the police officer is obviously photoshopped into the second picture.

Think "ends" rather than "means" ...

[25] Thanks! I think the plan was to reschedule the "Appointments" one, so that the four tonight would be thematically integrated.

I'm starting to wonder if I know the phrase - no matter what I think of, it doesn't make any sense.

Took me longer than it should've as I insisted on making the first element "roxie" - funny, clever puzzle as per usual, J.
