> [@anyrose](#): > > (any1) > clue #1: I am a 20 something “career girl”, not very attractive. My roommate is a party girl (read slut) She got knocked up for the third time, only this time she wants to have the bay. But when the bayb arrives, she wants nothing to do with it, so I take it, and I give it lots of love. Meanwhile, my dad’s boss has proposed to me. Who am I? > clue # 2; My roommate’s boyfriend (the baby’s father) fell in love with me while he helped me care for the baby, but he became restless after she ran off with some other player and left me to fend for myself. Which is why I accepted the old gentleman’s proposal > clue # 3: Although some of the decisions I have to make seem black and white, my life is really just shades of grey > clue # 4: Unseen voices sang to and about me in the beginning and end of the film - and it was a real catchy tune that made it to the top ten on the pop charts > clue # 5: I was played by Lynn Redgrave, and the older gentleman by James Mason I am **Georgie, girl**. 😉 (or boy as the case may be :D) > [@JustAnotherGeek](#): > > Hrrrmm… I don’t think that we’re speaking of the same person. If you know the name of #6, #5 is really easy. Yeah we are. The actor who played Howlin’ Mad Murdock also played Lt Reg Barclay on ST:TNG. But honestly, #5 has me stumped. ---

Ahhhhh… right. thus the “broccoli.” you’re gonna _reeeeaaaallllyyyy_ hate it when you figure it out… One more hint for #5 5.) I am a master assassin. My arch-enemy never even uses a gun, but I can never kill him. It’s personal now. I had to kidnap him and call a truce once so that he could help me rescue my daughter… Even though my nemesis tries to never kill people, he thought that he killed me several times.

Every time he thought that I _had_ to be dead, they never found a body… okay - wild stab in the dark - In an alternate universe, you once walked down the aisle with the object of your enemy’s affections (affections she returned but they both knew a romance was a bad idea…for the first few seasons anyway) you’re Lex Luther? Altho what that has to do with Howlin’ Mad Barclay is beyond me. ---

Sorry, **anyrose** , I figured nearly everyone had met Torgo, the clown who makes the dark side fun. **RobuSensei** : Yep. I’d take a guess on the open clues, but I have no idea. I’m an eccentric millionaire dandy who started an arena for three (then four) guys who can cook pretty decent. ---

Shine the flashlight over there! There’s another one! Welcome! Stick around! Here’s another one: I was the one object of color in an otherwise bleak film.

Did I say Department of Fish and Game? I meant Department of Weights and Measures…or was it Department of Agriculture? Out little ‘agency’ gets shunted around so much I tend to lose track. ---
