[QUOTE=Zeldar] Is there a Sol (soil) van? [/QUOTE] It’s Ed Sullivan (it came to me in a dream last night) – good shoe though! [QUOTE=Zeldar] Joan Crawford Phyllis Diller Is Abednego Daniel (I can’t think of a single Meshach or Shadrach)? Is there an Eddie Walker or Eddie Trott? [/QUOTE] Joan & Phyllis are correct. There’s no Abednego Daniel that I can think of and you’re so on the right _track_ with Eddie. **Zeldar** , do you want to give up on the names prior to my post #176. ---

[/QUOTE] What I was asking was Abednego a substitute for Daniel, not that Abednego Daniel was a guess for the whole name. As for those that you already gave clues for, twice, that stumped me as bad as the names themselves, yes, Uncle! Bail me out here, I beg thee. However, I’ll keep trying on the later bunch. Is that Jim Kildare? (I never knew his other name besides Dr.) OH! It has to be Eddie Cantor! ---

[QUOTE=Zeldar] What I was asking was Abednego a substitute for Daniel, not that Abednego Daniel was a guess for the whole name. **Sorry, I misunderstood but think historical associations; also any set of women would see the trap I’ve designed here.** As for those that you already gave clues for, twice, that stumped me as bad as the names themselves, yes, Uncle! Bail me out here, I beg thee. **PM’d Sternvogel to see if he wants one more stab at 'em, then the big reveal.** Jim Kildare? (I never knew his other name besides Dr.) **Correct, his name is James**. OH! It has to be Eddie Cantor! **Good one!** [/QUOTE] I keep forgetting when I edit inside quotes VBulletin doesn’t think I typed anything. ---

No resonse from Sternvogel, so, Gloria Champion - Haven’t you ever acted as guardian to something or someone. - [Gloria Foster\*\*](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/**Gloria_Foster). Don SpiffApple - This just a simple polishing Job. - **[Don M(a)cLean](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_McLean).** Jordan Shavings - peelings, peels or pickings - It’s comedic, what the layers will reveal - **[Jordan Peele](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_Peele)** , another _MadTV_ comdian. Garry Bountyhunter - Even with the correction, any LEO will do - **Garry Marshall**. Woodie Passerine - This particular type of bird (though not a parrot) is now associated with dirty talk - **Peter Finch**. Foodkeeper Admiral - Nimitz was not the only name associated with football - **[Refrigerator Perry](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Perry_(football_player))**. ---

Good ones, **5-4-Fighting** , but I just couldn’t get anywhere with them. I can’t place Gloria and Jordan in my memory but I should have been able to figure the others out. ---

[QUOTE=5-4-Fighting] No resonse from Sternvogel\*\*. [/QUOTE] Just logged in and read your PM – too late, I see. Yes, Ed Sullivan (sully van) was correct. As for Arnold Pilgrim, it’s actually a straightforward clue – the etymology of his last name reflects a practice of certain pious visitors to the Holy Land. ---

It’s be frittering around the edges of my so-called mind for what seems tlike weeks now, but this [defnition](http://www.thefreedictionary.com/palmer) points to him. ETA: Great clue.
