Thanks for the Eliot hint. Must be Glenn Miller? How about hints for Threebrennans, Fiends, and Carbohydrate? ---

[QUOTE=Zeldar] Does Shirley Fiends have to do with Addicts? Or being hooked? This may be another Shirley who has yet to meet me. 😃 [/QUOTE] Donahue is correct. It’s Shirley Jones. What do you have against Shirleys? Actually, you got Hemphill, which I wasn’t sure you’d be on to. I had another one I jotted down last night but forgot to bring the scrap of paper. Are there any outstanding? ---

There may be others outstanding, but here’s a new batch with more stretching required. Not that they’re any harder to guess, but I’m relaxing my efforts to be one-step-away which was driving my earlier choices.

[QUOTE=5-4-Fighting] Don Tangles. [/QUOTE] Knotts, but I tried real hard to make it Rickles! Good work on mine. I assume you’ll give Sarah another shot? As for Lew and my age, I assume you’ve seen _Airplane!_ and I really don’t recall any reference to Lew except as Alcindor there. He was already Kareem by then, right? I wanted him to get into tennis so he could be Ace Kareem. Or maybe even into rap. Still hanging: Made-us-pay Mobius Jesse Ricky Need clues? ---
