Sean Connery: May I say something?

AT: This luxury boat was owned by the FBI and used in an operation to bring down members of the Bonanno crime
family. It was shown in the movie "Donnie Brasco" and was the nickname of one of the characters. Who am I?"
This question is for Carla Hurst-Chandler

[Carla Hurst-Chandler]

Before coffee??? You're hardcore.

What is
"The Left Hand", Alex...

Okay...the daily double...what is the make of the yacht?

Back to you...

[clintessential]

Alex: The MAKE? Dear me, CH-C, I would never have guessed you to be a slave to the bourgeoius notion
of mass production. It might have won WW2, but it has no place in the rarefied air of faux snobbery that
I embrace. TRANSLATION: I have no effing idea. Enlighten me.

[Carla Hurst-Chandler]

No clue...lol. What do I know about boats? I'll stick to Automotives for 400...Alex

Up with coffee...way too early @@

[clintessential]

AT: OK. This question is for CH-C. Cars for 400. There were 2 models of cars produced in South Bend, Indiana.
Name one of them.

This question assumes you watched the Sopranos.
After his release from prison Feech(Robert Loggia)
asks to run the high stakes poker game. One of the
players is a former football player who played for
the NY Giants. Who is he?

[Carla Hurst-Chandler]

That is easy, Alex...What is a Studebaker...

Gave up TV in 2010...so I have no idea...just didn't watch the thing.

To bring this back to topic...I am still afraid of Spiders (but not Spyders)

[clintessential]

Alex Trebec: What just happened?
Sean Connery: I think she got tired of your hospitality and left.
Alex Trebec: Yeah, I don't even remember asking her the question.....
Sean Connery: Ingracious
Alex Trebec: ?
Sean Connery: You haven't been nice to her before have you?
Alex: Well, yes.
Sean Connery: Wimp. You know what else? Youre mothers a whore Trebec.

[Carla Hurst-Chandler]

Good Morning...

Clintessential...was thinking maybe we should start a Jeopardy thread...lol...and give the people with fears back their's.
Will pop over to the off topic and random stuff and set one up

I concur, Sean, Trebec's Mom is a whore.

There...done.

See Community and Off Topic Jeoprdy thread

It's your turn.

What I meant was as much as Paisley is despised, no one moons him because it's too cold. They wait for him
to address the Snake Convention in las vegas in August when its 140 degrees. But I have to admit the History of Ireland
that I know might be, shall we say, "revisionist." Here's a trivia question. Name the snake that had his stainless steel,
high performance sports car, with gull wing doors built in Belfast. He also liked cocaine(that's what the FBI said,
it might be just a vicious rumor)

@Mike: Before I do anymore posts that reference Ireland or Irish history, I'm going to do some reading. What would you suggest? Nothing too detailed, but enough to understand significant events, who was invovled, and changes the event
caused.
I have questions about:
1. St Patrick rids The Republic and Northern Ireland of snakes. Was this symbolic or did St Patrick, physically, in real time, get rid of them. Were they exterminated or relocated? The climate that I associate as "snake friendly" would
be much warmer than Ireland, which give rises to the possibility(among outsiders) that it was symbolic.
2. Was there always a Nothern Ireland? For some reason, I thought the British had created Northern Ireland(The
Six Counties) to separate the part of Ireland they laid claim to, from the Republic. And that this part was the most
productive and provided a substantial amount of tax revenue. Is the British occupation of Northern Ireland a relatively
new devlopment? It's been that way for 100's rather than 1000's of years.
3. I used the term "Finian" only because I'd seen in a book about Ireland. I believe the book was either written by Gerry
Adams or about him.Is a Finian a political term? He supports the IRA, but is not a combatant? Does it designate Irish
Catholic heritage?
4. Have the Troubles subsided(there is less violence and assassinations) since both sides(IRA and Provos) turned in their
weapons? I haven't heard anything happening since in our media. I used the term Provos. That the Protestant paramilitary, right.
Of course, you don't have to answer any of these questions. But if you could recommend a book that can(and is not the
size of a microwave, I would be most appreciative. Did you know everyone in Limerick is a poet? Or that everyone in
Galway plays the flute? Interesting what historians from the Colonies have dug up about Eire,

You can try some books by Paul Brennan (the irish academic), he wrote some about both Eire and Northern Ireland. He is very well-known in France.

@BooksNJoy Thank you. I'm going to ring up the Library right now.

@ clint, a book called Ireland by Eyewitness travel does explain a lot of the history of Ireland and the different names (poets etc) associated with the major cities here, as well as the long and complex relationship between here and England which led to our republic of Ireland now comprising 26 counties with the officially British Northern Ireland comprising 6 counties, including Belfast. The whole history of the 1916 rising and the events which follow make for a fascinating read..

Sad to see the death this week of Robert Kee broadcaster & historian. His fantastic TV series on Irish history back in the '80 was perhaps the best explaination of the convoluted & tortured history of the relationship between Ireland & Britain.
He was a superb broadcaster RIP

I have an irrational fear, almost a phobia of milk being out of date. I mean the fear of drinking milk that is out of date. I will not drink any milk based drinks at friend's houses unless I have checked the date first.
