That was a good one, Gracie.
I think part of people's trouble was that we've become accustomed to thinking of entertainers. Well, okay, the vonTrapps were entertainers, but I mean Hollywood, TV, and radio types.

Thank you, Joe.
Yes, it's a sad state when celebrity now is the airhead powderpuff Britneys and Lindsays and Paris-es, don't you think? Saw a minute of something, I don't even know what the show was, where Jessica Simpson was eating Chicken of the Sea, and asking, and I quote, "Is this chicken or fish what I have?"
Grizzy has taken much ribbing about his lovely grey hair (ribbing because he went grey so very early) and I am often called his 'trophy wife' even though I'm actually a few weeks older than he is. But he wins a bazillion brownie points every time he says that he didn't have to choose between beauty and brains, and that there's nothing sexier than an intelligent woman.
He would LOVE the women on this board!
Anyway, Maria was a lot of fun. Thanks for playing! Now I'll let someone else post.

I know who it is, but I can't play since I cheated. I find it hard not to peek. (I have no self discipline.) This is refreshing. I haven't been able to play much because I'm ALWAYS cheating. BL and I are Aquarians, which may account for our inability to stay within the rules. I'm SOOOOO happy! Gail, you are the best!! (I am reminded of when slb and gracie also stood with me in an hour of confession of a bad character. I have such wonderful sisters here! )

Ah, geez, Gail, I'm gonna kill it quick. It's Edward R. Murrow in London during the Last Great War.

Julie Andrews isn't old enough to have been the person in that picture, imo. I read the biography of the Family von Trapp. Loved it. Wish I could fish the book out of it's hiding place.
I don't know who it is, but I suspect more folks aren't guessing because they've cheated.
btw, loved the outraged squirrel. Excellent.

Time for another Thomas tutorial. He knows how to change the words in the Properties and still get the image.

What a GREAT pic of Murrow! What'd you all think of "Good Night, and Good Luck"? Grizzy bought it for me because he knew I'd love it (and he was right.)

I bought a copy that I've been saving up, still haven't watched it. For a metropolitan area, St. Paul has few theaters and a preponderance of box-office smashes like Spiderman. Good movies stay only a short time.
Dan, you are a BP (Big Poophead).

Beautiful, intelligent, experienced in all the things that matter (take that as you will ) witty, kind, compassionate, saucy, loving, giving.... Oh, and humble. Definitely humble. And modest.

Gracie opined: Speak for yourself. What's wrong with us men then? Apart from being referred to as "It" all the time. By the way, the Japanese have brought out a fantastic new camera. The lens' and shutter speeds are out of this world. They're so fast, they can actually capture the image of a woman with her mouth shut.

Anyone seeking further information can google "camel spider" for more pics and video. Snopes says this particular picture is misleading because the carcass is being held close to the camera. But they are, indeed, big and ugly.

Snopes says this particular picture is misleading because the carcass is being held close to the camera. But they are, indeed, big and ugly. I found one of these under my desk last night, prompting me to turn to Google in order to identify it. A "camel spider," "sun spider" or "wind scorpion," it's actually neither spider nor scorpion, but a cousin. They favor shade. Apparently, in the deserts of Iraq, they would race for the shady spots created by the presence of soldiers, giving an impression of "attack."

This could be fun: He is in a new movie. Some of his previous roles were in McDonald's commercials, as "Mac Tonite!" and he was also BSU's mascot Charlie Cardinal. He is a personal friend of mine. Great kisser! Any ideas?

I knew somebody was gonna say that.....
And....'tis true.
On the other hand, Gracie is a good girl with not much of a past. So kissing was always one of my favorite indoor sports. (Or outdoor, now that I think of it....)

Fair enough, Joe!
I'll say this...he looks like Topher Grace, somewhat, in this shot.
But he's not.
(Very bad rhyme. Completely unintentional.)
Actually his name is pretty ordinary. Not Hollywood at ALL.

Post by Brit on Jun 19, 2007 17:41:49 GMT -5
Mmmm,
Clarification please.
In the UK a "kisser" is slang for someone's face.
"Look who's Kissinger now..."
So I reckon it's Henry Kissinger.
Oops, sorry - wrong thread.
Wrong website too methinks...

Post by Gracie on Jun 20, 2007 18:59:06 GMT -5
Wrong website for what?
"Great kisser" as in 'his kisses knocked my socks off' (assuming I was wearing any) or 'made me melt' (often) or 'made me weak in the knees....' and so on.
But you knew that. Knew that's what I meant, yes?
And absolutely NOT Kissinger. I wouldn't kiss HIM with someone ELSE'S lips.

I don't know who he is, but his looks sure are deceiving. I mean, he's a great kisser?

Sorry, the pc was down all weekend. I was thinking unspeakable things. Yes, his looks are deceiving, I would have to agree. But he really is a great kisser! I swear! This one really is the toughest I've put up yet and I may have to give it up just to be fair, because my friend here is always in some sort of costume that renders him well nigh unrecognizeable....you know, as in the old days when you couldn't see any of the KISS members without their makeup, or what Darth Vader actually looked like. But I did think this one might work because I should think he's out doing interviews to promote the big summer hit. I could be wrong though. Has happened before. But he'll love this when he hears about it.

Truth is, I am so un-hip to movie star or TV star personalities that I am clueless about Mr. Kisser.

It's not Tobey McGuire is it? (He's the only one in costume that I know of.)

It's not Tobey McGuire is it? (He's the only one in costume that I know of.) No, but man, that's a good guess. I'm not sure there really IS any way for anyone to find him who doesn't know him. I thought he had a few more credits online than this. He was also "Pan" and "PaleMan" in "Pan's Labyrinth," and he was in "Hellboy" and "Hocus Pocus" and"Mystery Men" and "Batman Returns," to name a few. And I think he was in Shamalan's "Lady in the Water" but I could be wrong about that...didn't see it. I know he's never not worked since graduating from BSU, but these roles were heavily costumed, as I said. SO, to be fair and not infuriating....may I introduce my old friend, Doug Jones. (Toldya his name was ordinary. We all call him Doug Jo-nez, for chucks, with his approval.) You may recognize him as the Silver Surfer, should you happen to have seen the new "Fantastic Four" movie. Grizzy LOVED it.
