  1. I'm just curious why nothings came up, it's pretty easy? It's sort of like, "And here's to you Joe DiMaggio" along the same vein anyway?
  2. Yes Montpelier, and they like it that way. More into local businesses and less national chains. Barre a neighboring town is not that far from Montpelier and they have a McDonald's. The capital was hesitant to let a Walmart come there until 1997 when they got one.
  3. Nope. It's here in the mainland. I was in Honolulu oh, some while ago now, but they had McDonald's then.
  4. It's kind of strange isn't it. Which is the only U.S. state capital without a McDonald's?
  5. Okay. "Let me show you what I got here. See this? This is a charger. It's used by convicts to hide money and drugs. They stick it in their body. They tuck it up their rectum. You familiar with that? This.....Look at me. Pencil detonator. Timer, used as a receiver-transmitter. C-4. Highly explosive. You put 'em all together, and you got a bomb. Not very sophisticated, but very powerful. - That's what you have in your behind right now."
  6. I think we've reached a stand still so, I guess I'll play my cards. It's Ulysses S Grant. I hesitated using this clue again after we just used it, but I thought it would immediately get answered or it would be just another trivia that nobody had heard of. I guess it was the latter. Grant was arrested for a speeding violation riding in his horse and buggy in Washington DC. He paid a $20 bond, but didn't show up for court. The same policeman, who was a black Civil War veteran, had stopped Grant on other occasions, apologized, and told President Grant, "I am very sorry, Mr. President, to have to do it, for you are the chief of the nation, and I am nothing but a policeman, but duty is duty, sir, and I will have to place you under arrest." . Grant was known for having a penchant for speeding and he liked fast horses.
  7. Sorry, but I'm occupied at the moment and I don't want to hold up the thread. So if anyone wants it they can post. I'll check back in tomorrow and if there hasn't been anything posted I'll put something up.
  8. Indeed. How can it be permissible She compromises my principle
  9. Sounds like something from "Jesus Christ Superstar" to me. But, I haven?t got any other clue.
  10. No. This took place when the horse and buggy were the popular mode of transportation, but Teddy would have certainly ridden and driven one in his day.
  11. Mark Ruffalo You Can Count on Me Matthew Broderick
  12. Yes, he would count if he was in office at the time. He may have been cited but it wasn't for speeding. So no, he's not the president in question.
  13. Ken Burns documentary was pretty good too. Let's stay with US presidents. Which US president received a speeding ticket while in office?
