PUZZLE #33: Pent Words 3

PUZZLE #33
PENT WORDS 3

Boy, it's been a while since I've made one of these, hasn't it? Considering that my last one was in February (I'm not counting the "Tet Words" variant I did in April), I think a new installment of "Pent Words" is well overdue! So let's dig in, shall we?


For this puzzle, you must divide the grid into pentominoes (they’re kinda like Tetris pieces, except they’re areas made up of five squares each) and put a letter in each cell. The rows, reading from left to right, will contain the words hinted at by the ACROSS clues. The letters in the pentominoes, reading left to right beginning with the top row, will form the words hinted at by the PENTOMINOES clues; these clues are presented in no particular order. (In the example above, the rows spell out CHINS, PARTY, and ANKLE, and the pentominoes spell out the words CHINA, STYLE, and PRANK.) Use the across answers to figure out where the pentominoes go. 

The FINAL ANSWER is a two-word phrase made up of the two unclued pentominoes.


ACROSS (Two answers per row)
1) Boast / Ghostly bulldog from Luigi's Mansion
2) Joss Whedon show (in)famously cancelled after one season / Yakko and Wakko's sister
3) _____ the Earth (Furry adventure game) / Mil. mailbox
4) Eurodance group whose debut album was Sex & Violins / Jai ____ (sport that appears in a lot of crosswords)
5) 1 vs. 100 host Bob / Hairstyling shop
6) Word following "Folk" or "Fairy" / Major Arcana cards
7) U2 song where Bono counts "one, two, three, fourteen" in Spanish / Tommy Pickles' dad in Rugrats
8) Team Fortress 2 character hidden beneath a gas mask / Towards the boat's back
9)  "I Alone" band / Exploding penguin from Disgaea, dood!
10) Repent / Mason-_____ line

Once you believe you've figured out the FINAL ANSWER, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net (the main email for my home computer) or itsredhead64@gmail.com (the main email for my tablet and whenever I'm not at home) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in roughly two weeks. You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or get a hint from me in exchange for a "hint star", more details for that are on the sidebar to the right) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle (don't let the fact that ponies are involved deter you from solving it!). If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for a version you can print out!
