$8K: I don't watch the show. Secretly leaning toward A, but would've burned the ATA.

$25K: Can't place any of these four with a death date. Try the PAF and hope for the best.

Must have been a long time ago, then. The J! Archive doesn't list her.

I'd have gone with "A" even though I've never see the show (or the movies).

Just shows how important it is to practice - and if Michael was that good, why wasn't he on the list?

The things you learn when you move to a new state - I read a lot about "The Great Compromiser" and this is one of those things that stuck in my brain.

Tough question. Easy to rule out Douglas, who was still debating Lincoln in 1860, but the other three were essentially contemporaries and Clay and Webster were very similar in bacground. And both died in 1852!

This little tittel tidbit gets brought back up every time they have someone lie in state (Reagan, Ford, Rosa Parks, et al)

8K: Crutches would make sense. On the other hand, little about the Jackass movies does make sense. ATA

16K: OK, I know about bill & trill & so forth, & even nano. What the hell # is "mega" supposed to be. Is a megaton bomb, for instance, really a million ton bomb? Or something else. Know its going to be a large #, so 50/50 & hope only 1 large is left.

See my comment in other thread about how people love that "real" look in their photos but want their info-deleted music to sound like the crap it sounds like. Maybe if music info was stored something neat-sounding, like "(mu)zixells", instead of just plain old "bits".

25K: I don't think Douglas died in 1852, since he debated Lincoln after that. I think. But PAF here.

[ne1410s]

I don't think Douglas died in 1852, since he debated Lincoln after that. I think.

The Lincoln-Douglas Debates were held in 1858. The only site still standing from those debates is Old Main at Knox College in Galesburg, IL.

And now you know the rest of the story.

Well, let me get my post on Gail Rosier in the Gail Rosier thread, not in the name #384 thread where I had inadvertently put it. My mind is mushed.

Because we were dealing there with the category of birth names, , and it turns out that THIS contestant started out Gail Fouts in Walla Walla, Wash, and then at the time of her J! appearance, was Gail Fouts Bernstein from the great state of Massachusetts.

I gotta not fail to mention Walla Walla, Wash; since I did not do the Pogo version of the lyrics to Deck the Halls last month. Like all true anthemic versions, the first verse sticks in the mind, and I will roll it out if needed. But, There is a whole album of walt kelly Pogo songs, in fact. And here is a refernece thereto:

http://www.boston.com/news/globe/ideas/ ... halls.html

The late great Clyde Gilmour of the CBC played two or three of the Pogo songs occasionally, at the end of his weekly program "Gilmour's Albums"; he liked "Truly, truly true", as well as a song I cannot remember, but had, like the Kelly Deck the Halls, a set of word salad lyrics.
