14. The “Spruce Goose” was a Howard Hughes creation. It was built from wood due to the metal restrictions of WWII. It was not made of spruce but it did rhyme with goose so … It actually flew for less than a minute but long enough to get government funds. Only Howard Hughes! Only the USA government would pay for this “Albatross Dross!”

14. The Lockheed C-130.

14..Game, Bama & SVC comment on the Spruced up Goose.

15..Several of you ask. "Shall We Dance?".

16..Pinot alone gives her the 2 talents, pianist & novel writer.

17..SVC, Bama & Big make the link.

18..SVC & VAUC have twice the memory of Bama.

19..Game, SVC, VAUC suggest that she's off chocolate for life.

20..SVC is correct, but it's nobody's business but the Turks.

21..Big's got the best memory. Art did not have much of a part, not like in Carnal Knowledge,
but it was his first Hollywood foray. Interesting that 2 of you thought it was in that 4-some go to bed together joint. I guess Natalie does cast a spell.

23..SVC is most complete.

24..I must single out Bama for his twofer.

25..See Big. He knows quality TV, when he sees it.

Games coming up, so I rest.

Natalie does indeed cast a spell. But I admitted to to my lack of Carnal Knowledge in front of God and everyone. I am humbled! And Olivia must drive Big absolutely Wilde. I did not remember her numerical designation. Good quiz, Chief. Rest up !
