Lombardi seems too obvious. Starr?

Well, my first thought with Jack Benny was clarinet, which wasn't a choice...and then I realized I was thinking of Benny Goodman. [Big Grin]

Okay, so far I have the following people who have confirmed and given me contact info:

• The Utah Clump: point person, Ruth

• Claudia Therese

• Megan

and . . . that's it? The best I can come up with on Hatrack is three friends?

Ketchupqueen, are you in or out?

Anybody ever hear from fugu?

Football: Lombardi is correct (I'm a big Green Bay Packers fan, and he was the Packers' coach during the years they won Superbowl I and II).

Advertisement: Soft Drink, it was Pepsi.

I forgot to say that I am fairly confident in sports, as I play baseball and watch basketball, football, and baseball on the "tele." (Espanol) However, my guess on the "catch a crab" one would be in diving, but I am not fluent at all in any of those sports (I do know what all the strokes of swimming are, but who wouldn't?)

Oh, and I know NOTHING about 60's TV shows, or anything like that. However, I'm not sure if those timeframes are going to fit into my fairly unknown schedule...

Icarus, I thought it was just Utah people fo rsome reason. I am not sure how much of a help I would be, though, but if you need me, i will be here.
I am so sorry I did not realize it before.
I do know one of Prince William's names is Arthur, and i actually think he IS King Arthur, the Once and Future King, but I don;t think you want my fantasies...
And The Killing Fields was Cambodia, Khmer Rouge, right?

Well, of all the questions you have posted today, the only ones I am reasonably sure of are:

The Killing Feilds = Cambodia

Jack Benny = violin (Although, if I recall correctly, he didn't play it "regularly." He would just hold it and threaten to play it.)

Elizabeth, as of right now, I only have two lifelines, so, send me an e-mail with your contact information and tell me what your strengths are, and if I get it in time, I'll use it.

(btw, you do know that I don't live in Utah, right?)

I'm useless with most of those questions. The only one I knew for sure was The Killing Fields, and that only because I watched it in the last year or so.

The biggest problem Fahim and I have with being lifelines is that the call would inevitably be while we're sleeping, and it takes longer than 30 seconds to wake up and be halfway intelligent. [Frown]

Fahim says he'll volunteer as long as it's not during the daytime for you. [Roll Eyes] Although Fahim did admit that being disturbed in his sleep would end up in him being grouchy and irritable and I'd be on the receiving end. [Frown] Yeah, not so good.

I'd help you out, Icaro, but I sleep when normal people are awake, between about 10 am CST to about 8 pm...

I'm sorry to hear that Icarus--what happened?

I'll definitely be interested in being a lifeline for you in the future; maybe next time we can get the OH/IN clumps together and make an unstoppable triva juggernaut.

Nothing happened; there was never any guarantee of making into the pool. Last year, of the five of us tha tried, two of us made it into the pool, so I felt good about our odds of one of us getting that far this year.
