17..Who's that couple climbing down Mt. Rushmore a half century ago?

18..There's Madonna and Cher and also one(?) with her own TV show in reruns.

19..In the last 1/4 of the 19thC, which Prez OKed female attorneys to argue
before the Supreme Court?

20..This album starts with Primetime, Let Me Go Home, & One Good Reason.

21..Why is the US Mint in the news this week?

22..Who's the Eagle who just fell from his Monday perch?

23..The Tilly Sisters?

24..Who's your darlin', who's your baby? Who wakes up at night to pull you in?

25..In '85 Robert Penn Warren becomes our first official..?

And so on we go...

11..Meyers & VAUC count the best. It was the 14th Louis.

12..VTC has Lake Tana in Ethiopia.

13..Meyers & VAUC with Marilu Henner. Unfortunately I can still hear Louie shouting, "Nardo".

15..The lady is Doris Troy; the song. "Just One Look". A big '60's hit. Where were you?

16..China's vice-premiere, considered the next #1. VTC & NCor.

17..Rbny wants you to rent this movie. Geordi also knows it's Cary Grant & Eva Marie Saint,
but he has no opinion.

18..OK, the 3rd lady of one name is a redhead. Does that help?

19..Don't be silly, NCor, it can't be Tiffany. What? You meant Rutherford B. Oh.

20..Where's UPink when you need her? Suppose I tell you the album is Ammonia Avenue.
Who did it?

21..Most recently, like mr006 says, nickels & pennies ain't payin' off.

22..Ron Jaworski is booted from MNF. VTC & geordi are there to catch him.

23..Funny VAUC how ears vary. I would have said Jennifer's voice is nails on a blackboard.
I liked Meg. VTC & NCor didn't evaluate.

24..From a sprightly folk tune called Summerfly.

25..Our always friendly Rutgers fan, plus VAUC, answer poet laureate. Now VTC will get
more meaning out of a trip to the cemetary.

VAUC (et al)--out of the blue Nan writes me that for some reason she thinks I should have
an Avatar. I chose Dumbledore. Since it has come up, I ask you to cast your ballot.
Should I be Dumbledore, Gandolph, or Bishop Fulton J. Sheen?

 

[NCorBust]

Bishop Fulton J. Sheen

 

[pinotbear]

Ben Stein

 

[wire chief]

Ben Stein

I think Ben is way out of the parameters of the multiple choice...but thanks for thinking of me.

15. Back in the late 80's, Doris Troy and her siblings, Randy and Vy Higgenson, produced a very nice musical based on Doris Troy's story, Mama I Want to Sing; Played at a theater on 104 st and 5th Avenue, which is around the corner from the housing project I lived in until age 4. Ms Troy, in the musical, played her own mother, while the very gifted star of Mama I Want to Sing, Desiree Coleman, would go on to marry Mark Jackson.

 

[VAUConnFan]

I like Dumbledore.
