Who are your top four Andrews? Use whatever criteria you like to define your four. All forms of the name are acceptable (Andrew, Andy, Drew, etc.). First names - not surnames - only. Real people, living or dead, only. Please limit your nominees to four or less. I’ll put up a poll in a few days, then we’ll get this settled once and for all. mmm ---

No suggestions from me, but I’m curious … What gave you the idea for Rushmores of single names? Are we going to have to put up with 500 of these dual threads for each of the most popular male baby names of the last century? And then another 500 for female baby names? En/Inquiring minds want to know. Actually, I can’t resist. Here’s an Andrew to prime your pump (and to avoid suspicions about threadshitting): Andrew Lloyd Weber ---

Going purely off my memory, the only four I could come up with were: Dice Clay Wakefield Lloyd Webber Jackson Googling for famous people named Andrew, I now have: Carnegie Garfield Kaufman Warhol ---

You’d put Andrew Wakefield on your Rushmore? Doesn’t sound like it, but :eek: Jackson and Kaufman are the only two who spring to mind without any googling, and I wouldn’t choose either. Also Andy Goldsworthy, who is at least pretty interesting but I don’t know I think he needs a mountain (but he can make his monument himself!) Andy Serkis can _play_ the mountain. ---

I’ll nominate Andrew Zimmern, the bizarre foods guy. Schlogging through all that nasty food should earn him something besides a lifetime supply of antacids.
