Common denominators

The Game Room
121

Sigmund Freud
Edgar Allan Poe
Sonny Liston

I guess I have to add a few more people who fit the same theme:

Marlon Brando
Sir Robert Peel
Tom Mix
Oliver Hardy
Stu Sutcliffe

122

Here’s a brand new theme:

  1. Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry
  2. “Willy Wonka” author Roald Dahl
  3. U.S. Senator/Presidential candidate George McGovern
  4. “Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry
  5. Movie star Jimmy Stewart
123

People on the Sgt Pepper’s album cover?

124

How about a couple more:
Lewis
Barker
Owens
Or:

Charlotte’s Web, by EB White
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, by JK Rowling
Anansi Boys, by Neil Gaiman

(One common denominator is obvious. They’re all fantasies to one extent or another. But what else do they have in common?)

125

Ah. Nice. I even saw that mentioned while poking around for Liston info but didn’t process it properly.

126
  1. Actor Matt Damon
  2. Software mogul Bill Gates
  3. Poet Robert Frost
127
  1. Cy Young Award winner Jim Lonborg
  2. Western gunfighter Doc Holliday
  3. Edgar Buchanan, who played Uncle Joe on “Petticoat Junction.”
128
  1. Ugandan dictator Idi Amin
  2. British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli
  3. Chemist Louis Pasteur
129

All of these have stumped me! :smack:

130
  1. Movie director Steven Spielberg
  2. President Gerald Ford
  3. Sex researcher Alfred Kinsey
131

Citation. (The name of a racehorse ridden by Eddie Arcaro, an executive jet built by Cessna, and a model of Edsel automobile)

The answer was right in front of you.

132
  1. Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos
  2. England’s Queen Elizabeth II
  3. New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani
133

You know how sometimes when someone explains a joke to you, you feel really dumb for not having gotten it?

This is not such a time. :stuck_out_tongue:

134
  1. Comedian Ernie Kovacs
  2. Oscar-winning actor Jose Ferrer
  3. Home run hitter/Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt
135

Yes!

138

They’re all really tall (6’1"+) WWII pilots.

EDIT: Full disclosure - I only knew about Dahl, McGovern and Stewart. I had to google the other two.
