Her name was Polly!

It amazes me that I can remember such trivia from years ago...but I have no clue where I was yesterday.

Bob, She was known as Pretty Polly. I think she might have had a last name as well.

OH WAIT! I think it was Polly Pureheart, or Purebred, Pure Something.

...TMAX shoots and HE SCORES. Great Ceaser's Ghost, Lois, those who play the puzzler have me very busy.

It's early in the morning, and now I must think of another question.

First: Don't forget U.N.C.L.E.

Hmmm, now for a question:

In what state was the ranch on Bonanza located?

OK, more:

The Chevy Corvair utilized what type of engine?

What year did full size Chevy vans go from full chassis frames to a unitized body?

In the late sixties, Pontiac GTO had a model called ... .....

What parts on the Stanley Steamer car had to constantly be replaced? (Hint, it was due to the weight of the vehicle)

American Motors was known for some UGLY looking cars. Name two. (Hint, one starts with a P, and one starts with an M.)

SONG: Chestnuts roasting on an open fire... What's the next line?

What was the only year that the Mercury Comet had the " cat's eye" tail lights?

Song: ...In the meadow we can build a snowman, and pretend that he is ...... .....

What was the Skipper's nick name for Gilligan?

Before he was Gilligan, what show did he star in? (hint: initials are DG)

What was the date JFK was assassinated? What city?

TV commercial... Everything's better with .... ...... .. ..

AND NOW, for a funny rhyme.

Oh,you wonder where the yellow went,
When you brush your teeth with Pepsodent.
Now your teeth are turning black,
You wish you had your yellow back.

One more: What show did the line "Book Him, Danno" come from?

Well, that should keep y'all busy!

On the Man From U.N.C.L.E , what did U.N.C.L.E. signify?

corvair - mid mount rotary?
chevy vans - ?
Pontiac "The Judge"
Stanley Steamer - shocks/springs?
American Motors Pacer & Matador
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
mercury tail lights - ?
Parson Brown
"Little Buddy"
Dobie Gillis
11-22-1963 in Dallas
Blue Bonnet On It
Hawaii 5-0

What was the name of Tom Slick's car?
What was Super Chicken's regular name (when he wasn't Super Chicken)?

Funny rhyme back at ya:

It's not my job to run the train,
The whistle I can't blow,
It's not for lowly me to say
How far the train will go.
They will not let me grease the wheels,
Nor let me ring the bell,
But let the train jump off the tracks.
And see who catches hell...

Rudy · Post by **Rudy** » Sat Dec 25, 2010 3:04 am

WOAH!!! Griff, you answered many of the last questions correctly.

Corvair engine: air cooled six cylinder horizontal opposing cylinders mounted in the rear of the car.

Pontiac GTO The Judge.

American Motors Pacer (upside down bathtub) Matador (what were they thinking?)

Jack Frost nipping at your nose

Parson Brown

Little Buddy

Dobie Gillis

11-23-63 Dallas

Blue Bonnet on it

Hawaii Five O

Ok, that leaves: Full size Chevy vans, Stanley Steamer,Mercury Comet tail lights.

Congratulations, Griff. For all your correct answers you win a trip to your local grocery store where you will be free to purchase two cans of Lentil soup.

I don't know of Tom Slick or Super Chicken.

OH, Let's not forget U.N.C.L.E.

Oh yeah, the Bonanza question is still in the air.

Griff · Post by **Griff** » Sat Dec 25, 2010 5:04 am

Rudy, George of the Jungle, Tom Slick and Super Chicken were cartoon characters created by the same guys the made Rocky & Bullwinkle: Ray Ward & Bill Scott, and like Bullwinkle, there was satire and humor for young and old alike.

They just don't make 'em like they used to...

but Hulu has all the Rocky & Bullwinkle episodes available for free viewing (along w/Fractured Fairy Tales, Ezra, heh! Great stuff)!

Rudy · Post by **Rudy** » Sat Dec 25, 2010 6:27 am

I think it was on Rocky and Bullwinkle that there were two arch enemies ..... and ........

Bonus points for their last names. (hint for their first names B, the man N, the woman). Think Russian. By the way, their last names had the same initials as their first names.

OH, and who was the Canadian mountie's name who always rescued the damsel from the buzz saw?

Here's a good one. Whenever the Canadian mountie rescued the damsel, what was the villain's response? ALSO what was the name of the villain? (hint: the villain's initials are SW).

I almost forgot. Where was the Bonanza ranch?
