I know Jackie Robinson made his Dodgers debut on 4/15. Is that when the others started too?



Musicmystery -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/15/2010 6:43:50 PM)

Bingo. An April 15 premiere quartet.

Your turn!



dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/15/2010 6:56:39 PM)

NEW QUARTET:

#1 Coffee
#17 Hating Their Parents
#44 Public Radio
#91 San Francisco



Musicmystery -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/16/2010 5:46:51 AM)

They are from a list, "Things White People Like."

Excuse me. I need coffee.



sunshinemiss -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/16/2010 5:54:47 AM)

But did you announce on a San Fran radio station that you hate your parents?



Musicmystery -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/16/2010 6:02:09 AM)

No. My mom is dead, so there's no point in hating her, and I've never been to San Francisco. I've never even worn flowers in my hair.

I do like public radio, though.



dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/16/2010 5:51:01 PM)

Well done, MM! Your turn.



Musicmystery -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/16/2010 7:24:42 PM)

A new quartet:

malicious nieces
red sweatshirts
brown coconuts
hungry iguanas



dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/16/2010 7:26:42 PM)

Things white people don't like? [:)]

It may be a coincidence, but each pair contains an adjective and a noun in alphabetical order.



Musicmystery -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/16/2010 7:27:53 PM)

Not a coincidence at all--it's what they have in common.

Your turn, dc!



dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/16/2010 7:44:31 PM)

NEW QUARTET:

Elena Kagan
Diane Wood
Merrick Garland
Leah Ward Sears



Musicmystery -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/16/2010 11:04:43 PM)

Potential Supreme Court nominees once Justice Stevens steps down.



dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/17/2010 7:29:04 AM)

Exactly! Your turn,, MM.



Musicmystery -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/17/2010 8:25:13 AM)

Musicmystery -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/17/2010 11:01:52 AM)

No, only three of them.

Hint--they are listed in order.

That makes it your turn, Lance!



LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/17/2010 3:57:53 PM)

And a throw-away:

Juneau
Phoenix
Birmingham
Little Rock

Yes, state capitol cities, but what makes these four a unique quartet amongst the 50 state capitol cities?



stella41b -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/18/2010 6:36:20 AM)

All four cities lie at the foot of mountains?

Juneau lies at the foot of Mount Juneau.
Phoenix lies at the foot of the McDowell Mountains
Birmingham lies at the foot of Red Mountain (part of the Appalachian Foothills)
Little Rock lies at the foot of Pinnacle Mountain
