[QUOTE=Sternvogel] Jesse Jackson Ricky Nelson Ah, the clue helped – Bob Costas (cost us) And so did that hint – Calvin Klein, who could drink from Klein’s bottle, but not a Klein bottle! Sarah Silverman [/QUOTE] As usual, **Sternvogel** , you da dude! ---

Okay. Some blind stabs and some questions: Don SpiffApple – is the apple part something like pear or lime or fruit? Rupert Pulverize – how about Grind or Mash or Smash Michael Tigris – is Rivers good enough or do we have to get which river? Daniel Harvardsister – Yale something maybe? Or Brown? Jordan Shavings – could this be Sparks? Arden Jarhead – is Eve the Arden part? Is jarhead for sailor or soldier or marine? Gary Bountyhunter – Tracker? Chaser? Good tough stuff! ---

[QUOTE=Zeldar] Sarah Miles, Steve Harvey, Jane Seymour, Emily Watson (don’t know Emma but I assume there must be one) [/QUOTE] These are correct. Zeldar, [this](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001833/) is Emily Watson, though the brainfarts caused by my meds caused me not to type my intended name of [Emma Watson](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0914612/). Not to try to steal any glory but I thought of Jesse Jackson (specifically through the Jesse spelling) but didn’t think it fit. **Sternvogel** , have you suggested any clues? They’d probably be very good. ---
