Only missed #2 and half of #4. Couldn't remember the goldfish but knew the turtles.

Crap day for me, lt.
Only could remember #s 6 & 7. #1's Art Deco/oscars was a cool clue, but didn't know the rest about the sword/knight or reel of spokes. And I thought CRAP was CRAP but didn't even venture to guess.
C'est la Vie!
