This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)
You know, these double-definitions are one type of clue they use in "cryptic crosswords," which are what the British have instead of crossword puzzles. One difference is that the British aren't so nice as to tell you explicitly where one definition ends and the next begins; they just phrase the whole in the form of a sentence. It looks like this.
#74
The river's shore is a financial institution.

Three months is too long for this thread to be silent! Tamago, we give up.
Now I'm continuing this with an easy one.
#76 - Copulation! Intercourse!
The girl who took us all by force!
A clown who'll kill us all for fun!
And the last touched child, on the run.

Is #75 vernacular?

Alas, no! Think simpler.
Edit: OH WAIT YOU SAID 75 NOT 76 Whoops. My bad. You probably are right about that.

#77 sentence?
I'm not sure, I have never been good at this type of games. I'll leave #78 open in case I get the answer.

#76: Uhm... is the answer It?
#78: A scaly foe that walks slow and well
A caramel cake with nuts and a chocolate shell

Oh dag, I bet you're right!! Very clever!
#78, I would think, is turtle
#79
They vanish from trees till the winter's all over;
What a robin in Canada does each October.
#80
The side that's spend-happy, gay-loving, and green;
What Rhett did in Gone with the Wind's final scene.

Haha, not quite, but darn close: #79 was leaves, while #80 was left. I enjoyed that two conjugations of the same verb had two unrelated other meanings!

#83 is game!
But we skipped a number
#82
Examples would be Grim Dawn or Oblivion;
An anti-tank weapon shot by... um... a Bolivian.
#84
Stuff prepared by a flour mill's denizen;
Tasty mutton, chevon, or venison.
12/26/14 For posterity: #82 = RPG; #84 = meal
