The guy on the right does look trust-worthy, but the guy on the left is not a Brit.

Two for one. Don't cheat! damn. I wanted to move the picture to the next page, but in doing so, I discovered something I wished I hadn't. Any more clues for the addle-brained, books?

No clues!

I'd say, but then I'd have to post one. (Assuming my guess is correct. I'll PM you, bl.)

You're right. How did you know? Hahahahaha...good thing I wasn't online yesterday!! Y'all know what McKuen means to me!

Okay, here's one, one you'd never expect me to like. Great picture of her. But I'm still giggling over McKuen and Hamlin. Did any of you ever see the Elaine Stritch one woman show? McKuen's at the end of it, as they say, 'pissed to the ears.' His brother Edward has never forgiven him for being quite so blunt in his remarks!

It looks like Peg Bracken, but we've still got booklady's dynamic duo to identify publicly.

Two for one. Don't cheat! Funny, Michael, but we still haven't ID'd these guys.

Funny, Michael, but we still haven't ID'd these guys.
I haven't a clue. It's too hard. I give up. All I know is that the guy on the right has a weird hair style.
Where's Joe? He's smarter than me. Why hasn't he figured it out yet?

Joe knows, he's just wimped out on saying so since he would then have to find the next photo.

I too figured it out, but I confess I cheated. I think it is a bit remote though.
And I have got no idea how to go about offering you the next one anyway so I privately e-mailed booklady!

It is so tempting to cheat, I almost never can play the game because I usually end up peeking. I didn't peek in the case of Rod McKuen, though.

Hint: They are clearly dressed in a style which I would guess was prevalent from about 1750 to no later than 1850.
What dynamic duo can you think of from that era?
I know you refused to give a hint, bl, but this is getting ridiculous, and this hint really only points out the obvious.

Thanks to Joe's hint I made an uneducated guess. Then I cheated to verify my new found enlightenment and I was correct.

So, who will name them and choose the next image?

So, who will name them and choose the next image? Since Gracie has already given us the next image, Maybe I should just go ahead. It's Clark and Lewis, of Lewis & Clark fame.

Alas, their fame did not reach these shores Joe and it would be unfair of me, in the spirit of the game, to offer a remote British pioneer now would it?

I am currently reading Undaunted Courage: Meriwether Lewis, Thomas Jefferson, and the Opening of the American West. Good book.

Brit, Lewis and Clark are not well known in England?!

I have never heard of them, though no doubt, amongst scholars of such matters would have.
They are certainly not "household names" here.

I'm thinking that Gracie's offering has to be a writer -- maybe Flannery O'Connor or Shirley Jackson or Dorothy Parker. Somebody like that.

You can only know what you were taught. I just assumed that Lewis and Clark were on the order of any great explorers -- Columbus and Byrd and Captain Cook.

OK, I've just looked at a picture of Shirley Jackson. Clearly the photo is not of her!

Post by Brit on Dec 30, 2007 19:56:16 GMT -5
Well, now you see what a dumb guy I really am.
I had to google Byrd and all I got was an English Composer (16th Century) and some other fella and a current US Senator - but no explorer.
