I heard this as a topic on the Morning Breakfast show I listen to in the car on the way to work.

"What famous / infamous person, or unusual thing, do you have in your photo album?"

Now, be prepard to scan the pic for us all to see .... keep the imagination in check!! *L*

One guy this morning had a pic of himself with Elvis!! (he use to work in US media way back when Elvis wasn't in hiding).

(ignore the typo's - tough day at the office)

Who is Elvis?

Costello or Presley?

*pokes tongue @ Dave* .. don't be cheeky!!

Mayhem, if I was refering to Costello, I would have used the surname .... there really is only ONE Elvis.

Only to those ignorant of music history, I should think. I know that most people would think of the Southern boy first, but here at Tir, The Costello should come first to mind. After he IS Irish, don't y'know!

*pulls up a chair to watch the fireworks aimed at the all-knowing one*

Declan Patrick McManus (Costello) is defintely Irish, but ole "swivvel hips" from Graceland has the more authentic claim to the name "Elvis", to my mind anyway.

"Elvis has left the building"......Presley to me!!!!

*wanders off to "You Ain't Nothin' But a Hound Dog" resounding in her ears*

Now that it has been established that Elvis is Elvis is Elvis ...... any good pics?

Nuh!.....*cracks up*

I will agree that we tend to think of "The Pelvis" first. And I must thank Jumm (whoever you are) for remembering The Costello's given names. I never can, I'm rotten with names I don't think of!

*bites tongue* .. damn .. i had a good line there.

Yeah, I got a few, but Acc won't let us post them here...
he he he...

*pouts*
I wanna see the fire works!!!

Naughty Guest! Methinks you're a "regular" guest! Haahaa!

I think you're right Jumm!

Go on Dave...be a devil.....Acc is a grown up person....he will understand....*extends arms across the waves to hug Acc*....I showed my I.D. at the door...I'm over 18....if not an adult..*grin*...*realises she is leaving herself wide open to abuse....*.Yeah go on do ya best!! *LOL*
*grabs Lace's tongue and frees it*....or is that freeze it???? *L*
I've got Leonard Teale's autograph..if that qualifies??...*Thinks not* *S*

Accasbel is an Adult?? Well, I never .......

Leda, you were certainly a grown up, responsible person - THEN, someone (who shall not remain blameless) showed you 'the net' *L* The rest is becoming Tir na nOg history!! *smile* ...

You wanna freeze my tongue?? That would be even worse than taking my keyboard away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... hmmm .. time we had a chat, me t'inks.

chuckles wickedly *

Glad to see Lace's tongue is free again. ie. not clamped between her teeth...*S*

Why is that guy so popular with the ladies...look at the way he just sits there licking his eyebrows...............

So... *getting impatient*....

"What famous / infamous person, or unusual thing, do you have in your photo album?"

Hmmm...I did meet a few famous musicians, Art Blakey,Barrett Deems, Billy Corgan, but unfortunately have no photos...I do have a pic of me in Alaska with a salmon I caught though it was not famous...would that count? And more to the point, could I figure out how to post the durn thing?

Wellll ... although you are famous to US Celt, AND we are all SURE you will be World Famous one day very, very soon, I am not sure your salmon in Alaska pic qualifies ... unless of course, it is a famous salmon?

On the other hand, I am sure we would all love to watch while you try and post the durn thaaaaaang!! *L* Go for it!! (let me know how you did it when your done!! *s*)

Um, maybe you could let ME know HOW to do it in the first place...*g*

For 50 points, what is odd about the words racecar, kayak, and level? :)

I think ...one thousAnd

YESS!!! Geez you guys are on to it alright!

What country is hosting the 2011 Rugby World Cup?

South Africa? I think I heard that somewhere. Not sure, just a guess

No. This might prove tricky as most of y'all wont be Rugby fans I expect.

BTW...not a bad guess Mac.

I say that, because SA is one of the top Rugby playing nations. They play a very hard game, along with the Auzzies, and are one of the top countries to watch during Cup year.

For those of you who aren't into Rugby or sport...

Where is the largest muscle in your body? :)

New Zealand

latissimus dorsi?

The Gluteous Maximus...

NZ is correct fer 2011 Rugby world Cup destination.

Hmmmm...the information I have tells me that "latissimus dorsi" is wrong!??...but am I going to argue with a nurse?????

Yeah! What the hell...Mac...yer wrong! *L*

Yes Ms Indie! YOU ARE 100% CORRECT! *GRIN*

What occupation derives its name from the French word "plommier", meaning to work in lead?

I concede that you are correct and it is especially true of SOME people. I have no doubt you aren't pulling these facts out of your arse...

And what a great segue into the occupation of plumber. Plumbers used to secure one piece of pipe to the other with melted lead. Copper tubing is still soldered together using various soft metals, although lead isn't used much today because of the obvious problems with lead poisoning. Mostly today plumbers use combinations of tin and silver

*s* Would I lie to you, Mr McGuire? Could I, indeed, lie to you?...I think not! These facts are not borne of my arse atall but are carefully selected for their entertainment value. *L*

Love the use of "segue" in your description. I think the word is a musical term, yes?, meaning, leading from one piece to another?

Which airline owned the jet that exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988?

Pan Am (Pan American)

I knew you weren't lying, I said lat dorsi because it is actually larger laid out (i.e.covers more space), but the GM has more mass/weight. I answered in the blink of the eye, without thinking. I didn't look it up, as I assume that you and perhaps Indie may have. No matter, carry on

Pan American is correct. Interesting note about the Lat dorsi. Never thought about there being more than one way to consider the size factor, but you are quite correct. My apology.

Onwards we go...

Who is said to rule in a Plutocracy?

That's where Mickey Mouse's dog, Pluto is the ruler.


only the rich rule in this sort of system

Correct! The wealthy rule in a plutocracy.

What is the collective name for the 9 handmaidens of Odin?

The Valkrie, I think... although I may not have spelled it right...

Yes! Valkyries is correct, Lass!

What is the name of the poker hand containing three of a kind and a pair?

full house

What was the capital of Assyria?

Nimrod

btw...full house is correct.

Nimrod is incorrect

Ninevah? I got it mixed up. I think King Nimrod named Ninevah? *runs for the Mesopotamian text book ~ yes I actually do have an old school text book about Mesopotamia etc, but haven't looked at it fer manys the year.

What is thanatology the scientific study of?

Nineveh became the capital of Assyria after the rulers of Assyria destroyed Babylon for being too uppity.

the study of grief?

Not so much the study of grief, but closely related. The study of an EVENT causing grief (...and I don't mean downing too many Jamesons within Tir...*LOL*)

Thanatology,

(from the Greek thanatos, “death”) is the description or study of death and dying. Thanatology is concerned with the notion of death as popularly perceived and especially with the reactions of the dying person, from whom it is felt much can be learned.
Thanatology also examines attitudes towards death, the meaning and behaviors of bereavement and grief, and the moral, spiritual and ethical questions of euthanasia, organ transplant and life support.

Closely related? Jaysus, you are a tough proctor! This game fatigues me. I'd say that I was close enough. Schools out for summer, schools out forever...

Fine. Schools out then.
