15. Thought the whole thing was that they maybe sort of took it on their own initiative. the quote was "Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest" or words to that effect and they sort of ran with it. One of the early Henry's. Henry II or III. I'll guess II.

16. Could be cricket?

17. Peyton Manning?

19. Calvin and Hobbes

21. Per Homer, Paris ran off with Helen, the wife of Menelaus to take her back home to his parents in Troy. Menelaus was not amused. Called the Greek fleets. Achilles was the great Greek champion, dipped by his heels in the River Styx by his mother and therefore invulnerable aside from the one thing. Anyway, Achilles went with the fleet but started sulking when someone took some of his plunder. He say out the battles till Hector killed his buddy and then he got mad and fought. Pretty sure he killed Hector, but some mischievous deity told Paris about the ...well you know ... and Paris ends up even throwing a spear or shooting him with a magic arrow or poisoned or something in the spot and that killed him. Paris being the weasel beside his noble brother.

It's sort of like Casablanca in a way in that Rick and Ilsa always have Paris. similar stories really. a remake if you will.

[KnightBridgeAZ]

17. Mahomes?
20. Frankenstein perhaps. Just guessing - I know that it is a subtitle, just can't recollect (for sure) the work.
25. Shar Pei?

 

[ed4ourgirls]

15. Henry II (aka Peter O'Toole). Not actually ordered, but as Gamecockfan77 describes.

25. Chow

 

[Bigboote]

18..Arthur Guinness launched the brewery

19. Calvin and Hobbes

20..Frankenstein

21..Not quite sure what you're getting at here. The quote is from Casablanca. Paris was the one who shot Achilles in the heel in the Iliad.

22..Motown

 

[SVCBeercats]

14. Ded Moroz (helped to have a Russian Grandfather and a Slavic Grandmother)
15. King Henry II
16. Drive and bounce makes me answer Olympic weightlifting. I am not familiar with the 2nd pull and scoop. Nonetheless it is Olympic weightlifting.
17. Chief’s Patrick Mahomes
25. I suspect your answer is the Chow Chow or the Shar Pei since their tongues are consistently black/blue in color.

14..It's more literal of the climate than is "Santa Claus", duck____ duck___.

24..I'm pretty sure his birth certificate says "David". And later he was 1st in a group of 5.

14..Is that a person, SVC. Does it translate to "Father Frost"?

15..A much younger Peter O'Toole, yes. disliking meddlesome priests.

16..Here's the scoop: SVC is pulled for the 2nd time, for blowing a drive to the basket
and a bounce pass.

17..Here's where "democracy rules" goes astray. While several had the cajones to say Mahones,
Baker is the Tops.

18..Topps again, explaining how his wife got them thrown out of ST. James Gate.

19..Game, Big & VAUC wax nostalgic over now lost humor.

20..Knight, ed4 & Big...but such recognition was easy for them, as each it composed of spare parts.

21..Game can be an oh so struggle to read, but this time he oozes enchantment.

22..Waq, Big & VAUC, still hawking their 8-tracks and cassettes.

23..Waq again comes up for air. He still laments being passed over for the role of Alfred the Butler.

24..Nothing is so frustrating to the everyday Testmeister, as finding plyers who don't tarry a moment to think. You couldn't get THE DAVE CLARK FIVE? Be so kind as to finish.

25..Tomato, tomahto...Chow or shar pei. The pink tongue dog fanciers don't wan't to give you credit.

Looks like a 22 1/2 score for you Renaissance cognoscenti.

14..Is that a person, SVC. Does it translate to "Father Frost"?

I think it means Grandfather Winter or Grandfather Frost literally and Santa Claus casually.
