  1. I don't recall how I found out there was a Parthenon in Nashville, but on a family vacation in the late 60s, my parents and I went there. This was way before the giant statue was erected. They had a smaller, gilded statue on a pedestal that was taller than the statue itself. Pre-internet, how did we ever find out about places to see when we went to other cities?
  2. From mythopedia.com: Centaurs were originally all male. Female Centaurs, or “Centaurides,” were probably introduced no earlier than the fifth century BCE, and even then, they were regarded as novelties.[12] Female Centaurs did sometimes appear in later art and literature: Ovid, for instance, tells of a female Centaur named Hylonome, whom he may or may not have invented.[13]
  3. A female Centaur makes no sense any way you look at it. Dove has had "+MenCare" for quite a few years - My SIL turned me on to the soap. (The green one, not the orange) It's got such a lovely scent. I now use their (pit) deodorant, too. I wouldn't doubt they'll soon have a full-body version.
  4. I've seen it. She whinnies the name Native. WHINNIES!! "Na a a a a a tive"
  5. I said Rogers Brothers solely because they made my Nana's silverplate cutlery. ETA: I used the archive for yesterday's game. I am gobsmacked that I got Toshiro Mifune.
  6. I'm not sure Mario500 understands why we're here. LOL
  7. I did listen further - Jonathan later says you can keep the insurance as long as you want to, so, I suppose, once you turn 86, they figure you're not gonna throw away all the money you sunk into it and will keep on paying nine ninety five.
  8. If you get Colonial Penn and then turn 86, are you no longer covered? Jonathan talks about being 50-85 to get their insurance.
  9. Two for me, one of which I know nothing about the category. If I had been a Friday contestant, I would have bet 0 on comic book characters, yet, whoo-hooo, I got it. I also got CT, which was an asterisk.
  10. And Hayley Mills' brother in law in the 1966 film, "The Family Way." I thought he was adorable and she probably married the wrong brother.
  11. I have a long-time friend who would've gotten the Bangkok song in a heartbeat. There was a time in her life she was obsessed with the original cast album of "Chess" - where the song is from. She played the CD incessantly. Unfortunately, she was campaign manager for a city commissioner seat and I was a volunteer on the campaign. ALL the campaign workers were subjected to Wendy's obsession. LOL.
  12. My late mom liked him. He did an Excedrin commercial where he referred to a really bad headache as a "bangeroo." So when Mom couldn't remember his name, she just called him Bangeroo, which we did until the end of his life.
  13. I love how the sidebar shows "popular images" and it's all the food we're bringing to the virtual party.
  14. Obviously, a Fuzzy Navel. LOL Thank you for Jules Verne - I got ONE this week. Corn Dogs for all... (I used to work with a woman who gossiped a lot. Talking about one of our co-workers, Linda said, "She thinks she's shit on a stick." I asked her if that was anything like a corn dog.)
