  1. 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."
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Indeed. How can it be permissible She compromises my principle
  5. Sounds like something from "Jesus Christ Superstar" to me. But, I haven?t got any other clue.
  6. 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.
  7. Mark Ruffalo You Can Count on Me Matthew Broderick
  8. 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.
  9. Ken Burns documentary was pretty good too. Let's stay with US presidents. Which US president received a speeding ticket while in office?
  10. There's no maybe about it. Yes, Bernie Taupin lyrics with composition by Elton Hercules John.
  11. I guess so then. It does seem to me though as you were describing the scenario that a president with that much wit and wisdom would be Abraham Lincoln. How about President Lincoln and General Ambrose Burnside? I haven't read a lot about Grant, he would seem obvious, but I don't think Ulysses S Grant stopped drinking?
  12. I'm thinking this is a later president than Lincoln, so let's have a go at Harry S Truman and General Douglas MacArthur.
  13. Next song: And he likes his own backyard, And he likes his fags the best, 'Cause he's better than the rest, And his own sweat smells the best, And he hopes to grab his father's loot, When Pater passes on.
  14. I got the group now, Blind Faith and just need to come up with the title. "Can't Find My Way Back Home" They're not really in my wheelhouse, I knew of them because a couple of guys I knew had their album. I remember the cover is all. I took me awhile before I could hear the song in my brain but like most songs, if you've heard them enough usually the lyrics become clear in your head enough to recognize.
  15. The name of the group doesn't really matter yet. Once I get the title I should know the group.
  16. Okay well I was thinking "Something's (or Somebody's) Got To Change"? I'm gonna step back from this now. I need to hear more of the song (in my head first) to get it. It might be Procol Harum.
  17. I think it's Steve Winwood isn't it? Or Traffic. I'll hone it down in a bit and get back to this.
