Thankfully I have managed to avoid that. I went to a conference in Hawaii with a colleague who was from there and quite proud of her state fish and saying its name.

 

Just imagine! This thread is just over one year old, and this is page # 100!

This rebus leads to the name of a famous 16th century (before I was born) guy. Who is he, tell us, show us a picture, and tell us a bit about him. The guy I’m after is not the guy in the clue.

Noted man about town and boy toy of Elisabeth.

I’ve lost track, all. Anybody that gave a correct answer that doesn’t yet have an “award”?

 

Not a rebus. A quiz. I want to know if you know who made the following saying? Picture, please. Clue. A 50s tv show. Also, name the show.

“What sort of a day was it? A day like all days, filled with the events that alter and illuminate our time.” And _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.


Also, fill in the blanks to complete the title of the program.

 

This should be a pushover for you veterans of the rebus thread. This leads to a 19th century chap. The map shows a general location. You can decide what the other clues indicate Bon chance, as they say! Three clues. Also, a thumbnail sketch of his accomplishments.

66720

 

A quiz! Can our U S members tell me which prominent American who is the news frequently, lately, who has an A MC Rambler as a hobby car. If you know who he is, why does he drive a Rambler?

 

I’ll take a punt at Merle Evans, a Kansas born band leader. He was born mid 1890’s, so that makes him a 19th century chap...



Inducted into the American bandmasters Association in 1947, and the International Circus Hall of Fame in ‘74

Conducted the Ringling Bros, and Barnum & Bailey Circus for 50 years

 

Octave Chanute 1832. Civil Engineer and influential early flight enthusiast.

 

Sorry @Charlemagne1333 . Wrong. @Transitus got this one. The number 66720 is a zip code for Kansas, followed by the treble clef showing eight notes (an octave), followed by the map of Kansas with the star located at Chanute, Kansas, which was named after Octave Chanute.

 

ZZZZZZZZZZZZ! Are American brethren sleeping on this one. Clue. Think of the early 1960s, when A M C displaced Chrysler as the third member of the BIG 3 U S car companies.
