Day Forty-five - "Shooting the "N". . .

Today's Challenge is NOT nails! I know they look like nails, shaped like nails, and even have pointy ends like nails but they are NOT nails!

Really, these are NOT nails! And, for something else that you can try to nail - today's trivia: What was the name of the pig on "Green Acres?"

Lots of winners from the "M" Challenge - they were marbles, clay ones at that! Well done Phil, Tony, EMO, Peyton, Mike P., Michelle, Joyce, Steph, Mike Di, and Joani! 

And, almost a repeat performance on the "little dab" of Brylcreme. All of the aforementioned winners got it except for Steph.

Day Forty-four - "Shooting the "M". . .

Happy Valentine's Day to all of my Blog Followers!

And, there is your Letter "M" Challenge! Shouldn't be too hard, right? 

For my trivia buffs, “A little dab will do you,” was the catch phrase for what product?

"L" was for locomotive or Lionel so here are the winners: Mike D.,  Phil, Tony, Peyton, Michelle, EMO, Carol, Ted, and Milt. 

As for knowing the Addams Family butler, Lurch - Mike D., Phil, Tony,  Peyton, and Michelle.

Day Forty-three - "Shooting the "L". . .

This one shouldn't be too difficult if you remember the theme - alphabetically and the Letter "L"

Today's trivia is brought to you by, "The Addams Family!" What was the name of their butler?

Yesterday was the Letter "K" that was a given and most of you knew it was used in some printer's type setting - Peyton, Carol, Michelle, Phil, Milt, EMO, Tony, Ann, and Joani. Welcome back to the world of electricity, Phil and Mike P.  Over the years we managed to pick up quite a few of these printers types, many with a product on them.

"Turn, Turn, Turn" is taken almost verbatim from the Book of Ecclessiates in the Bible - well done Peyton, Michelle, Phil, Milt, EMO, and Joyce.

Day Forty-two - "Shooting the K". . .

And, shooting it literally! Can you tell me for what this item was used?

And, for our trivia aficionados,  The lyrics from the Byrd’s “Turn, Turn, Turn” were taken from what best-selling book? 

       
 "J" was the Jacket for one of my 78s – I put it on them because of the colder weather. They appreciate them :) We did have only three, make that four correct answers - Phil, Peyton, Joani, and EMO. But nobody knew that Richie Cunningham and Shirley Feeney first met and dated as a couple in the 1973 classic movie, "American Graffiti."

Day Forty-one - Shooting the "J". . .

Glad to hear most of you are back on the power grid. I drove through the town of Carver, MA this afternoon and it was a disaster - trees down, power lines hanging, telephone poles shattered, and roads poorly plowed.

Here is my "J". . .

And, for our trivia masters, Richie (Happy Days) and Shirley (Laverne and Shirley) were a couple in what classic movie?     

The "I" was an Indian Head penny - the last year for this coinage as the Lincoln penny replaced it in 1909. I was reminded by one out-of-state follower that to be politically correct, this should be a Native American penny and therefore not be used for the letter "I" - thanks Ed! So we had Ed, of course, Ted, Michelle, Peyton, EMO, Carol, Mike Di., Joani, Doris, and Phil. 

As for the trivial matter of the Monopoly piece, the Cat, replacing the original piece, the Iron - Peter, Michelle, Peyton, Carol, Mike Di., and Joani.             
 

Day Forty - Shooting the "I". . .

Strange twist of events, I had power for the duration of the Blizzard of 2013! Strange in that most of my relatives did not - it's usually the other way around. And, guessing by the low turnout on the "H" Challenge - many of you are still without!

So here is "I" if there is anyone else out there. . .

(I'm trying to figure out how to use Extension Tubes with my Macro lens)

So yesterday's Double "H" Challenge was the hat and its hatbox.
Michelle, Peyton, Carol, Maeve, and EMO emailed me the correct solutions. Michelle and Carol knew "Charley on the MTA" was sung by the Kingston Trio.

Today's trivia is very, very current - Recently,  Monopoly replaced what game former piece with what new piece? No fair looking it up!

Day Thirty-nine - Shooting the "H". . .

Well, we're about four hours into the Blizzard of 2013 and I still have power! If you are reading this, I guess you do as well!!
So here is today's "H" challenge - a two-for-one. . .

For the musicologists out there:Who immortalized the MBTA with a classic folk song in the fifties? Song and Artist, please.

Well, Day 38 was an actual WWII Gas Mask! Here are the correct responders: Mike P., Ted, Phil, Mariann, Milt, Tony, Michelle, Peyton, Steph, and Mike Di. 

Only EMO and Milt knew the names of the pitcher (Tomorrow) and the catcher (Today) from the "Who's on First" routine. It's a classic with superb timing - catch it on YouTube.
