Name That Theme!
This time, though, the theme is pretty damn obscure. If anybody gets it, I'll be dazzled. Dazzled!
1. What very famous athlete is shown here in his youth?
2. What noted actor is shown here in his youth?
3. Who is this leading figure in... in... well, American letters, I suppose you could say?
4. Why, it's the legendary entertainer _______________!
5. Who is this "Rough and Ready" gentleman?

Theme -- Famous basketball players
1. Cassius Clay, aka Muhammad Ali
ReplyDelete2. George Clooney
3. Hunter S. Thompson. Incidentally, I just got back from a week in Las Vegas for the AAG meetings. Unlike Thompson, however, I did not have a trunk full of pharmeceuticals, so my experience was likely somewhat different. But frankly, in Las Vegas, it's pretty friggin' weird even without drugs.
4. Loretta Lynn
5. Zachary Taylor
Theme: A cross between an elephant and a rhinoceros. What's a cross between an elephant and a rhinoceros, you ask? Elephino!

Fear & Loathing Hunter S. Thompson
Loretta Lynn
Zachary Taylor
in common - no idea... (They were all entertainers, even old "Rough & ready." No seriously doesn't he look like a fun guy?)
They were all born in Kentucky?! Really? I don't know why that surprises me.
ReplyDelete1. Ali
ReplyDelete2. Clooney
3. Hunter S. Thompson
4. Loretta Lynn
5. Z. Taylor
They are all from Kentucky?
They are all the greatest?
The theme is they were all on the Facts of Life and slept with Tootie.
ReplyDelete1 Gotta be Muhammed Ali, still signing his autograph as "Cassius."
ReplyDelete2 You know, I really couldn't tell you. Is that Sylvester Stallone?
3 For some reason I'm thinking that's the gonzo Hunter S. Thompson.
4 Loretta Lynn?
5 No one I'd be thrilled to have over for dinner, I can say from his expression. Andrew Jackson? Do we even have photographs of Andrew Jackson?
I am guessing the theme is "famous Kentuckians."
That looks nothing like George Cloo--- OK, I guess it does. Still, I like my goofy idea that Sly Stallone went through a pretty-boy in polka dots phase.
ReplyDelete1. Clay
ReplyDelete2. Clooney
3. Thompson
4. Lynn
5. Taylor
All were coal miners' daughters.
So, yeah, you're looking at Mohammed Ali, George Clooney, Hunter S. Thompson, Loretta Lynn, and Zachary Taylor.
ReplyDeleteAnd all of them were, indeed, "country bumpkins who got all up in everybody's bidness and went all classy and shit." Also, coal miners' daughters. Also, from Kentucky. The mystery theme was "Famous Kentuckians."
