 Please take my turn to post DC .... i cant think of a darn thing, let alone four.




dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (12/1/2006 5:33:34 PM)

Here's an easy one, I think.

"Boy, the way Glenn Miller played..."
"This is it. This is life..."
"Lady Godiva was a freedom rider..."
"Here's the story..."

Those are all the first lines of theme songs for TV shows.




dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (12/1/2006 6:03:05 PM)

Bingo. Your turn, LAM.




Lordandmaster -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (12/1/2006 6:04:00 PM)

Let's see...

Concord
Garden
Massachusetts
John F. Kennedy




dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (12/1/2006 6:12:26 PM)

Street names in Cambridge, I think.

Blood
Toil
Sweat
Tears




Lordandmaster -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (12/1/2006 6:12:56 PM)

That's all Winston Churchill had to offer.




Lordandmaster -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (12/1/2006 6:18:53 PM)

Next one:

Catonsville, MD
Leonardtown, MD
Middleburg, VA
Cynthiana, KY

You're probably never going to get it, so I'll give y'all a hint: they all have schools or parks honoring a certain person.

*Brief hijack*

I have no idea what the answer is to this...

However, I have a question...  Can I see a picture of your devoted alpha slave?  [:)]

dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (12/1/2006 6:24:02 PM)

And would that person be Benjamin Banneker, who (I think) helped Pierre l'Enfant layout the little riverside village where I live?




dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (12/1/2006 6:38:00 PM)

I'm pretty sure Banneker is right, and were list-less (not to be confused with listless), so I'm gonna post another quartet.

Brian
Michael
Emmett
Ted





Lordandmaster -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (12/1/2006 6:39:31 PM)

Yes, it's Banneker...how the fuck did you know that?  I'm impressed.

Your list is from Queer as Folk, right?

I can Google too. [:)] (Wouldn't have gotten it w/o your hint, though.)

Though I'm a bit miffed that you didn't include DC, which appears to have both a Banneker school and park.

Now it's my turn to be impressed! I figured that would stump all you straight folk. [:)]




dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (12/1/2006 7:36:40 PM)

Haven't seen LAM in a bit, so I'll fill in and post a list for the hordes of folks who are sure to visit the thread this evening.

1900
1920
1940
1960

What do these years have in common (besides the census)?




Lordandmaster -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (12/1/2006 7:45:10 PM)

Well, yeah, but they also have a L'Enfant Plaza, which I find somewhere between ignorant and downright offensive.  L'Enfant was the guy who got sacked because he was incompetent.  Banneker designed your city, but he doesn't get a plaza because he was black.

marieToo -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (12/1/2006 7:47:38 PM)

where do you people come up with these freaky lists?

You can buy 'em on eBay.

Ah, but have you seen L'Enfant Plaza? Not exactly a great monument.

To be fair to dear old Pierre, I honestly do think he designed the city, though I confess that I'm no expert. He got fired, I think, because he was a lousy politician and razed some wealthy dude's house because it was in the way of one his grand boulevards. FWIW, Wikipedia says Banneker's role in DC lies in the realm of urban legend. But again, I'm no expert.

You were the last list solver, LAM, so feel free to post a new challenge if you want. I was just pinch-hitting between rounds of stirring my plum pudding.
