[KnightBridgeAZ]

22 - William of Orange - I don't "pile on" correct answers, but FWIW there is a statue of "Willy the Silent" as it is called prominently placed on the Rutgers campus, in fact I graduated right in front of it.

[wire chief]

14) Bill Bradley
16) William Wordworth
18) Bill Haley
22) Just a guess....William the Conquerer?
24) "My Boy Bill"...........best song from Carousel IMHO.

There are worse responses than Haley, but although he's in the doo-wop era, the Comets aren't doo-wop. Nor were they that prolific.

 

[wallman]

LOL sara, nobody puts baby in the corner!

 

[Waquoit]

23 - Werner von Braun

 

[ed4ourgirls]

Werner von Braun didn't escape the Nazis, he WAS a Nazi. We need a Wilhelm.

Then find a term that equals "additional acreage".

18..Nobody had more hits then the P_______., and who is the lead?

God, sometimes you need such spoon-feeding.

 

[DriveLH]

21. Bill Medley

 

[Bestiarius]

17. William Westmoreland
18. Tony Williams the Platters or Bill Pinkney the Drifters

 

[wire chief]

14..Rob & zorro provide Senator & Knick Bill Bradley.

15..Won't You Come Home, Bill Bailey--rbny, zorro & geordi.

16..Wm. Wordsworth works & rob and geordi become our poet Laureates.

17..Finally, with Best, some one is willing to think about things. He got
William Westmoreland.

18,,Tony Williams and the Platters goes quite nicely. Again credit to Best.

19..Willie Pep--rbny geordi & zorro go to a different auto parts store.

20..In this test, zorro, first names are crucial. We can't know if you remember
Safire as a Guillermo or Billy Bob unless you tell us. It's OK, we got rbny to set
us straight.

21..Not the quickest response, but after I pulled his teeth, Drive gives us
Bill Medley. The rest of you were suckered into assuming "Jennifer" was Gray
and not Warnes. Ha ha.

22..William of Orange ( William the Silent is OK too. What? No one wrote that?
Wrong! Knights did.) Drive and zorro look good in Orange.

23..Ed4 picks the non-Nazi Willie Ley.

24..The guy who's like a tree, My Boy Bill, hummed by rob & zorro.

25..Or give him Cappie. Drive names Bill Laimbeer.

Holy cow, was that fun. Hmmm...next time I'll use "Hortense"

Uhhh The magnum opus of W.F. Bach was the Prelude and Fugue, formerly incorrectly attributed to his daddy. I claim equal points.

Did I give any indication that the title was missing words? Was incomplete? Would still
need some dangling participle? Had an invisible "AND FUGUE?
Fugueedaboutit.

Ok, but I intend to seek legal council for a possible appeal, so be forewarned.

 

[wire chief]

And another thing, the Supreme Court has as settled law that all Fugues MUST be accompanied
only by Toccatas.

 

[Zorro]

JS; You and I need to talk. Pro bono, of course.
