Who was James Dean?

This actor was a friend of Deans and acted in the movie Hoosiers.

Who was Dennis Hopper, Alex.

Continuing with Automotives...When referring to The Boss in
302 Mustangs...who is The Boss?

1969-1970 High Performance Mustang. Updated version available in 2012 and 2013

What was the make of the car Dean died in?

I'm taking off for a couple hours(007 is selling the Alfa Romeo he drove in From Russia With Love)
Would love to have it. But only if headlights still convert to machine guns and Ursula Andress is still
in th passenger seat. Cheerio

Bzzzztttt....I'm sorry.

MR. Connnery?

Your Mother is STILL a whore, Trebec.

The answer is Who is "Bunkie Knudson" When working on the high peformance Mustang the engineer was asked what he was doing...he answered "Working on The Boss's Car" (referring to "Bunkie"...new President of Ford Motors...) and the name stuck.

What is a 550 Porsche Spyder, Alex.

Have a great day! And no...I don't think headlamps that convert to automatic weapons is too much to ask...seems almost American!

Tah-Tah

AT: Just got back. The whole thing was a hoax. I showed up at the address listed in the paper. Nothing there
but a dumpster with "Your Mother's a whore, Trebec. All the best Alf Romeo" spray painted in black letters.
I don't know how many times I've lobbied for another "Iconic Has Been" to replace Connery, but to no avail.
I thought Brando would work out, but every time he was introduced, he tried to recreate the scene with the young girl
in "Last Tango" and fell off the stage humping the Potent Potables Sign. Theres no justice!!!!!!!!!

AT: Back to the fray. What was the Make of the car in Rainman that Tom Cruise inherits.
His brother was played by Dustin Hoffman who claims he's "an excellent driver, excellent
driver." Just the make is enough and you get a clue. In later years they made the Riviera.

What is a Buick Roadmaster, Alex.

In Gone in 60 Seconds...what car was referred to as The Pit boss's "lady".

(...and I remember Brando falling off the stage...the crater is still there...I think they filled it with potted plants...)
Sad really.

AT: Thats unfair Carla, You've been practicing! I know makes and models, but not whodrove them in certain movies.
I got a feeling you might have played Jeopardy before. When you guessed "The Left Hand," I knew I was in trouble.
But must soldier on. Gotta choose something you're not encyclopedic about. hmmmmmmmmm...Indiana. Of course.
Why didn't I think of that before! All these questions are about the great state of Indiana. None of them are asked
with the intent of besmirching that great state or any of the citizens who reside or have resided therein.
1.This former baseball player played first base for the Yankees. He set a record for most consecutive games hitting a homerun. He retired in Evansville.
2. This football player played college football at Notre Dame and was the first player to win the Heisman whose
team had a losing record.
3. This gangster was finally gunned down in Chicago. He and his date(an FBI informant) had gone to see a movie
at the Biograph Theater.
4. David Letterman graduated from this college in Muncie, Indiana.
5. This town was founded in 1820 by people of German descent. They attempted to run the
town using a socialist paradigm, but failed. It was later purchased by the Owen family. The
town produced many citizens who made significant contributions to their city, as well as to the state of Indiana.
6. This Canadian hosts a TV Game Show and has never been to Indiana. Also, his mother is a who**e.

Ok Alex, Connery is right. Your Mother's a whore.

Oh and the answer to The Pit Boss's Lady is What is a Mercedes Benz. How difficult is that...sheesh...

1. No friggin' clue...do I look like I follow baseball?

2. No friggin' clue...stopped getting excited about football after Iron Mike stopped coaching the Bears and took up a lucrative career with Viagra. Wait a minute Iron Mike---Viagra...it makes perfect sense now.

3. Who is John Dillinger, Alex

4. No friggin' clue...and Dave never struck me as funny...just creepy and a bit desperate.

5. Could it be Owensboro,Alex? Okay, actually I have no frigggin' clue...always did like the Heidelberg Haus in Lawrence, though...best Schnitzel ever...

6. Mr Connery has been slipping me notes beneath his podium...the last one says "Are those rea..." oh wait a minute wrong note... Ah here it is "Who is Alex Trebec?"

Ok...back to makes and models...for a gadzillion dollars and a pickle...

Auburn Indiana was the home of this fine piece of Automotive luxury.

clintessential · Post by **clintessential** » 10 Jan 2013, 07:37

The Duesenberg was built in Auburn.
Don Mattingly played first base for the NY Yankees
Paul Horny was the Heisman winner. Unlike Iron Mike(my hero), Paul rarely needs
viagara(cause he so Hornung all the time)
Letterman went to Ball State(which they renamed Bald State when he started losing his hair)
The socialist experiment was in New Harmony

Just one last question about the great state of Indiana:
This famous basketball player is from a town in Indiana with two names. Ironically, the names are homonyms(words
with the same meaning). Who is this player?

Your automobile question: Are those, oops, Why is Diez y Seis, the 16th of September a national holiday in Mexico?
That's the day the pinche new Chevrolets come out
This car was named after Henry Fords son. Quien esta?
Su Madre es un gran put*, Trebec.

¿Qué es un Edsel, Alex?

(...and do I look like I follow friggin' bsketball...no idea...)
AT: Back to our game.
(...reading Mr. Connery's last note..."Yes...I do enjo..." oops...here's the question. Trebec...your mother is still a ...

Dieses deutsch-Automobile wurde einmal von Hitler als People's Car gebilligt.

What the hell is going on in this thread, am I stoned or something, cant make head nor tail of it??

Carla Hurst-Chandler · Post by **Carla Hurst-Chandler** » 10 Jan 2013, 13:01

Bzzzttt...no I'm sorry Mike...

The correct question was "What is a Volkswagon?"

Care to pick a category and play

clintessential · Post by **clintessential** » 10 Jan 2013, 13:53

Was ist eine Volkswagen, meine schatze? Alle ist Gemutlickeit? Schoenes Wetter heute nicht wahr?
AT: At least Connery's stopped insulting my heritage.
CH-C: How so?
AT: I don't know what he means by it, but every time you answer a question,
he mumbles something like "not many of those to a pound." Oh well.
While I'm about it, I want to thank all the wonderful people of Indiana who
made us feel so welcome this week, especially Carla whose abundant assets
have won her 1.3 Gazillion Dollars and at least that many fans.
AT: One more car question: In Bullitt, Steve McQueen leads two Mob guys
on a high speed chase through San Francisco. What was the Make and Model of
his car?

Carla Hurst-Chandler · Post by **Carla Hurst-Chandler** » 10 Jan 2013, 15:15
