Harvey, a pookah, and his best friend, Elwood P. Dowd. A pookah is an entity that can only be seen by some, usually large and white in color. It is neither here nor there, near or far, in or out, up or down, and, how are you Mr. Greenley?

 

[rbny1]

15. Fired by Detroit, played for Philadelphia.
17 Majolica is a form of pottery, so I guess the craft is called potting.

[DriveLH]

[meyers7]

[wire chief]

14.."can do him absolutely no good." Geordi with the sense of it.

15..He was (mostly) a 76er who was just fired as coach of the Pistons.
Rbny & Chic here. Now I never saw him wielding a baseball bat, but who am I to argue with Meyers?

16..Peas for all you chicks out there; the VAUC quintet.

17..Pottery, as rbny, Chic & geordi so state.

18..Geordi places them in Harvey, then Pinot points out that
Harvey is an invisible rabbit.

[pinotbear]

It had been, oh, 35 years maybe, since I'd seen this, so, I had to get another look at it.

 

[wire chief]

20..No idea, huh? OK, it's Vaya Con Dios. Now aren't you embarrassed?

21..Mrs. Geordi wrote me that she wanted to be acknowledged in these tests, so voila!

22..Robert Aires and only Chic has him.

23..The cat that may be alive or dead (a physics conundrum).
Zorro & Pinot.

25..Again you leave it to me--My Immortal.

It seems Zorro was right. This was a tough one.

 

[Zorro]

Uh..I know that Ailes has made a lot of money off of Fox, but did he really start out as a billionaire?

 

[KnightBridgeAZ]

I'll acknowledge the toughness of this one. Knew nothing in the part A, too late for the Dutch in this part and must have slept through the cat part of Quantum Mechanics class 35 years ago (or maybe my memory faileth).

 

[VAUConnFan]

It had been, oh, 35 years maybe, since I'd seen this, so, I had to get another look at it.

Isn't that the Maytag Man?

I believe you're right. He was a "character actor" that appeared in a lot of TV and films in the 50's n' 60's.

 

[meyers7]

15..He was (mostly) a 76er who was just fired as coach of the Pistons.
Rbny & Chic here. Now I never saw him wielding a baseball bat, but who am I to argue with Meyers?

[meyers7]

25..Again you leave it to me--My Immortal.

I am embarrassed. I must have skipped over that one???? I have that album (mp3).

 

[wire chief]

I am embarrassed. I must have skipped over that one???? I have that album (mp3).

I'm assigning Meyers to write 100 times:
I must not lose focus when reading a Wire chief test.
What? My Goodness, no, not on the Boneyard.
