In honor of Jeremy Irons’ birthday … this is a game of famous people who have meaningful names. But this time, let’s make it a Q&A game. Each player answers the previous clue correctly, giving a response that’s a complete sentence, then gives the next clue. Example: **Player 1:** British actor presses his laundry. **Player 2:** Jeremy Irons. Who is going to write about conservatism and baseball? **Player 3:** George Will. Best wishes to the former president of Nigeria! **Player 4:** Goodluck, Jonathan! Instruction to a child to give his sister some of his candy. **Player 5:** Cher. Comparative rowdiness between a Victorian playwright and the playwright of ‘Our Town’. **Player 6:** Oscar was Wilde, but Thornton was Wilder. Etc. You can answer any previous clue that hasn’t been correctly answered (or add an appropriate answer of your own). Ok, let’s start with the obvious one: British actor presses his laundry. ---

> [@Johnny\_Ace](#): > > Irish Gothic author keeps the train running. Are you going for Bram Stoker? I’d guess so, as I doubt there’s one called Stokes, although that would be the right tense. ---
