Three of a kind

Pick three works that you think fit together as a set. They might be three works in the same medium, for example:
True Lies
Mr & Mrs Smith
Knight and Day
(Three movies featuring Spies, couples, tango music, and deception)

Of they coukd be three items from different media:
Tetris
Legoland
Minecraft

And so on. Only three, and maybe say why you think they go together

The Mask of Zorro
The Phantom
The Shadow

All period movies of masked pulp heroes.

Apple pie
Vanilla ice cream
Caramel sauce

Each of the three pairs well with any other of the three.

Name three towns in Mississippi that rhyme:
Lula
Tchula
Tula

Then, name blues musicians associated with each town!

I know the multitude of answers to the latter triple posit, but it would make for too long a post.

Nobody but blues fanatics (such as I) would care, anyway :smack:

Three streets in Chicago that rhyme with “vagina”

Paulina, Melvina, Lunt

This will fit better over in Thead Games. Off we go!

Empress Matilda
Mary Queen of Scots
Edward, the Black Prince

HILARIOUS! I am familiar with all these streets, 'cuz I am an ex-pat Chicagoan. :rolleyes: :eek: :cool: :smack:
