dives
I think this one is hard, so a long list:
Davis
Brown
Irving
Capote
Ford
Brosnan
Miller
Prefect
Wood
people with the same name(s) as US presidents?
People whose first names are also Presidential names?
(Truman, Pierce, Ford, etc…)
Dang! I thought it would be a stumper, and simulsolved in seven minutes. :eek:
Must try harder…
Thomas
Norman
John
Peter
Jost
Vincent
or:
Dorothy
Antonia
Patricia
Agatha
Phyllis
Regarding my list of
Bay
Hornet
Kate
While a Google search brings up several women named Kate Green, I don’t consider any of them famous enough to be clues for this game. Here’s another item for the list:
Rock
Zeldar: Did you mean to include “fish” in this list?
angel
devil
fish
cat
I ask because it completes compound words started by “angel”, “devil”, and “cat”. “Blue” works well for the first three, but BlueCat
seems rather obscure (I just learned about the operating system when I Googled the word combination). Should I keep trying?
The results of a Yahoo! search on these names brought back a likely hit of Caribbean cruise destinations, so I’ll go with that – having the least clue otherwise.
Blue was not my connection, but to help with the search, perhaps “devil’s” is more precise than “devil.” The answer is almost trivial, too.
Yes. That spoiler is the clincher: Hudson
Whatever else these gals may have in common (hopefully more convincing) their names do appear on this page
Bugs Bunny
Rocky the Flying Squirrel
Mighty Mouse
Bucky Beaver
Food, I think. (Devil’s, angel, fish, cat, I mean)
Dorothy
Antonia
Patricia
Agatha
Phyllis
I suspect are female detective writers:
Dorothy Sayers, Patricia Highsmith, Agatha Christie, Antonia Fraser. I know I read a bunch of detective books by a “Phyllis” decades ago, but I just cannot call her name to mind now. Senility, you know.
Cartoon rodents? (Is a Beaver a rodent?)
Airplane
Moon
Tiger
Chain
You’re right with “food” on mine. And if you’re wrong on the writers, I am. too.
My dictionary says beavers are rodents. Gnawing critters.
Paper for your set.
Gene Autry
Roy Rogers
Rex Allen
Jimmy Wakely
Robert Redford
John Goodman
Gary Cooper
Anthony Perkins
Kevin Costner
Tim Robbins
Dan Dailey
Correct. Phyllis is P.D. James. (I had to do something to counteract the obviousness of Agatha.)
Oh! And I knew that… Anyway, I just remembered who I was thinking of: Phyllis A. Whitney. She wrote over 70 mysteries and was a Grand Master of the Mystery Writer Guild. Mostly women in jeopardy suspense-ish ones, IIRC.
Let’s see. How about:
Saw
Knife
Pearl
Skin
