Please select four names only.

Use your own criteria. After all, it’s your mount.

Poll in the works.

Hmmm…I drive by Andrews every weekday. It’s rather flat, and I expect they’ll keep it that way, due to the USAF jet traffic and all. Gonna be one flat mountain, the Mt. Rushmore of Andrews.

Yes, this time I know what you mean. Couldn’t resist razzing you anyway.

I went two; Brees and Rooney. Should have clicked Other as well for Sir Andrew Noble.

For the 80s: Andrew McCarthy  
For the creepiness factor: VC Andrews  
For nostalgia: Andy Gibb  
For yumminess: an Andes mint 😛

These threads keep throwing me. With the s’s as the end, I read them as last names. So the first person I thought of with “Williams” was Robin Williams, and the first person I thought of here was Julie Andrews.

It seems Robert Munroe has been reading **MMM** ’s threads.

Nitpick: I think you mean _Randall_ Munroe.

I was struggling to remember his first name and was too lazy to check. And I didn’t want to be scooped by the other ninjas around here 🙂

You are of course correct. Oops on me. :smack:

Love it.

I especially like the match-up between Bed, Bath & Beyond and Beyond Thunderdome.

**MMM** : You still haven’t answered my Q about what you’re doing with these threads. And why William and Andrew specifically? Can we expect you to do the entire Royal Family?

I didn’t remember being asked that. So I looked back at the threads, still don’t see it.

Anyway, my motives are neither earth shattering nor nefarious. Just having fun with random names.

Thinking it might be cool to have a playoff and determine the best Mt. Rushmore based on first names (would the Benjamins prevail over the Raymonds? Time will tell).  
mmm
