I once sat across the aisle from him on a flight from Memphis to LA. Can you guess what he was doing to pass the time away?<BR/><BR/>You are both wrong about his teammate, though. His name was MERLIN Olsen, as in magician, not MERLE.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06646388856674896936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305840857858959680.post-86231321622150351342008-03-08T17:49:00.000-07:002008-03-08T17:49:00.000-07:00I can vouch for what Anna said about Rosie GrierI can vouch for what Anna said about Rosie GrierUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06646388856674896936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305840857858959680.post-13887897593353270992008-03-08T17:41:00.000-07:002008-03-08T17:41:00.000-07:00Apologies to Orange...I was just too curious about...Apologies to Orange...I was just too curious about that tail. But you have my word...no centipedes or millipedes. Nothing needs that many legs to move!<BR/><BR/>Have fun with your taxes, Wendy. We probably won't start on ours until next month. Go figure...<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Anna, for the Olsen/Karras info. And I remember Rosie Greer doing needlepoint on something like the Mike Douglas show...never figured out how he held the needle with his huge hands.<BR/><BR/>I really enjoyed Sunday's puzzle...I'll be back later to blog it.Linda Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15816794362786044423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305840857858959680.post-8361263832520682872008-03-08T12:29:00.000-07:002008-03-08T12:29:00.000-07:00Very few gimmes in this one, but SCUTTLE was one o...Very few gimmes in this one, but SCUTTLE was one of them - to deliberately sink a ship by opening the sea cocks or punching holes in the bottom.<BR/><BR/>The only thing I remember about Rosey GRIER, other than how big he was, is that he did amazing needlepoint. <BR/><BR/>Linda, the football player who acted on Little House on the Prairie was Merle Olsen. Another former NFLer who turned to acting is Alex Karras, who was in Victor/Victoria.MBGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08315707409179428435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305840857858959680.post-22194248249997713972008-03-08T10:22:00.000-07:002008-03-08T10:22:00.000-07:00Eartha!

I actually saw her at the Carlyle in NYC a few years ago; she is a marvel at her age and certainly doesn't lack for self-esteem. ;) We had a great time at her show.<BR/><BR/>Night Court - what a great show that was. Was anyone ever better in his role than John Laroquette? Mel TORME had a few cameo appearances on the show, as I recall. I just checked to see whatever became of Harry Anderson; he opened a nightclub in New Orleans just before Katrina but eventually left the city because he couldn't make it work after that. <BR/><BR/>Another answer that would have worked at 10D was RAIL Moguls. How would life be different if we could be either of the two? <BR/><BR/>Speaking of taxes, I must spend my confinement by this blizzard finishing the assembly of paperwork that I started a month ago.wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06899889818724088564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305840857858959680.post-558833575697627112008-03-08T08:52:00.000-07:002008-03-08T08:52:00.000-07:00Gah!

Linda, please promise me never to include a picture of a centipede or millipede. Those are worse even though they're smaller.Orangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12433254398377357737noreply@blogger.com
