Hmmm, TIS figured that out all by herself. She'll do well in this game.

Ha ha ha ha You'd have to get up pretty early to pull one over me, I'll tell ya.



TIS

And you're three hours behind me. Damn.

SC,

I was gonna say, "Well I wasn't born yesterday" but KNEW I'd leave myself wide open for smart ass remarks.

The GangsterBB Presents:



Good film, actually.

But to answer what you said before - I couldn't access the BB early this morning, then was out of the apartment for the day. Didn't attempt to get on until earlier this evening, and I haven't had any trouble (yet). Perhaps I should've posted this on that thread in General...


Signor V.

written clues huh? well I'll try it.

1. Canton, Ohio
2. Ballroom
3. Running back

Emmitt Smith. Running back in the Hall of Fame and was on Dancing with Stars.

Here's one:

1. Herbert
2. A wedding unlike others
3.Died doing what he/she was famous for

Were the clues to easy Kly?

At first I was thinking of a running back from Canton, but while I don't watch the dancing show, I know that emmitt Smith did very well on the show.

Do you have an idea of my person, Mig?

Yea Emmitt Smith won the trophy when he was on that show and he's on this season of DWTS. As for your clues I'm sorry I haven't the foggiest idea. The only herbert I know is Mr. Herbert from Family Guy...LOL

My person became very famous, iconic, in fact, by a name other than his given name, Herbert.

Herbert Hoover?

Nope. While his given name is Herert, you know him by a different name. He was certainly asand original as they come.

Here's another clue:

An association with Johnny Carson and a certain flower.

Tiny Tim

You tiptoed through the clue list and to the right answer, giancarlo. Tiny Tim was born Herbert Khaury, and died while performing "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" in Minnesota.

I also own a couple of his CDs, including his Christmas album. He has the most peculiar version of "Silent Night," in which he breaks into a soliloquy in the middle of the song. Against the musical background he condemns evil and sinful people, specifying "men fornicating with young children."

The certain flower and the Carson show gave it away to me.

Tiny Tim and his tulip's .

I saw his & "Miss Vicky's" wedding on the Johnny Carson show. It was different indeed.



TIS

That show gave Johnny Carson his biggest ratings ever.

Sure looks like Jimmy Stewart to me.


Signor V.

correct!

Liberace?

You got it Mark ~ Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

Are we done with this game?

Don't know. Since we discovered it's possible to cheat using the pictures, I thought we were gonna do a Q&A type thing. I don't care. I like the game but it did sort of fizzle w/o being able to post pictures. I'm open to whatever everyone wants to do.



TIS

I didn't know you could cheat to find who they are.

I was bummed out when people started cheating. The fun of the game was knowing or trying to guess who the famous person was. Otherwise what's the point in even playing.

I agree I just started getting into the game and thought it was fun but when people started cheating and then other posters relayed the methods of cheating and wudda ya know it ain't fun no more like the game became "Who can cheat the quickest"

Only a suggestion if it appeals to everyone. My brother/sister and I use to, (and every now & then still do) play a game we simply call "Person." One person has someone in mind and the others ask yes or no questions until someone guesses. You can ask anything that can be answered yes or no. I'm thinking for space purposes (if it matters) maybe we can allow one person to post up to three questions in the same post (or not? I don't know, Maybe with so many playing it'll go quickly).
It could go on because there are so many fields of celebrity to cover BUT then again, there would be more than two/three people playing and it could go fast, so don't know if maybe an initial hint might be necessary.

Anyway, just an idea. I'm open to whatever everyone wants.
