If we’re to wait until these dawn on me, the thread is likely to be long gone by then and it seems there are only three or four of us even checking in. Even **Sternvogel** with all his help has been random in appearance. ETA: I see you must have meant my outstanding ones are all counted for. I thought you were saying: “No more clues, Loser.” 😃 ---

I went and googled Arden and got a comic named Myrin (new to me) and that looks like a close fit with Marine, so I’ll go with that. ---

I never heard of Rupert Grint before googling, either. And Grint resembles Grind, so there’s my shot at that one. ---

[QUOTE=Zeldar] I went and googled Arden and got a comic named Myrin (new to me) and that looks like a close fit with Marine, so I’ll go with that. [/QUOTE] You got it! From _MadTV_ and, yes, I was surprised it was pronounced “Marine” too. [QUOTE=Zeldar] I never heard of Rupert Grint before googling, either. And Grint resembles Grind, so there’s my shot at that one. [/QUOTE] You got this one too. Rupert plays Harry Potter’s best friend, Ron Weasley in, well. _Harry Potter_. Grint is an Old English variant of “grindeth,” hence my previous clue “In the old days, I’d say this one weareth you down.” I’ll leave my new clues as they are. ---

Okay, I got two of the previously unsolved ones: [QUOTE=Zeldar] Michael Tigris Amplifier Divorceconsort [/QUOTE] Michael Jordan Mike Wallace (Wallis Warfield Simpson was the divorcée who inspired King Edward VIII’s decision to abdicate the throne for “the woman I love”) I was thinking of clues, but hesitated to post them with so many outstanding (in both senses of the word). Here are a few: Johnny Pines Amy Portsenate Ed Dirtytruck Ralph Zenith Jack JerseyShoreTourist (this requires some knowledge of slang) Paul Setter Amy Deny Jimmy Drayman Earl Conjunctions Arnold Pilgrim And although they’re not celebrities, two people in my life were actually given this treatment. See if you can guess their last names: David Side Lillian Leg-en-bass (the hyphens aren’t in the actual name, and the “en” particle will be unchanged – think of possible substitutes for “leg” and “bass”) ---

Thanks for some real zingers, **Sternvogel**. Ralph Zenith = Ralph Nader is all I can get without more head-scratching. Nice work on Jordan! And I’m pretty sure all my hair would be white before I made the Wallace connection. I am no good at all with cryptic crosswords so those clues that go through several levels stump me after the first or second one. And if I have never heard of the person, that makes it even harder. Just letting you folks know I’m still sweating over the ones with no answers and not just ignoring the thread. Thoughts so far: Pines could be some other tree or a sub for longs or yearns or shorts Portsenate could have the port for left or the wine or the place you dock a ship and senate could be congress or house — WINEHOUSE? Dirtytruck could be soil van or grimy lorry or muddy jeep Setter could be pointer or spaniel or pitbull 😃 I’ll be back! Earl Butz!!! A man ahead of his time! ---

All of my celebrities have been solved correctly, with the exceptions of Ed Dirtytruck (although **Zeldar** came very close to getting it – think of “dirty” as a verb and the solution should appear) and Arnold Pilgrim. My college roommate was David Edge. He had a Frisbee on which he had written his surname on the rim, so I jokingly asked him if he needed a reminder of where to grip the disc when someone told him to “grab it by the edge”. Good thinking of both pronunciations of “bass” – in Lillian’s case, it was the short-a fish. Her last name was **Armentrout**. ---

Okay, **Sternvogel** , after a names search at IMDB I found a couple of contenders for Arnold Pilgrim One is a true stretch but if you take “staying” as sort of an antonym for “pilgrim” as in somebody “staying home” then Arnold Stang would fill out the stretch pretty well. 😃 At least I have heard of him, dead for decades though he could be. ETA: IMDB says he’s still alive and did something in 2002. WIBD The other guess is Arnold Rovers which is 100% guess. At least it fits the requirements, eh?
