[mariana44]

That is right--quite spooky really !

[Marian]

We just a gold medal in the Paralympics Games, in which sport?

[ROBERT M.]

A. Most of them Marian

[Marian]

The question is rather out of date Robert now, it was the first one, which was cycling. Your turn.

[LindyG]

Robert consistently has a comedian's timing and wit. Robert, I bet you could've done some great shtick with Matt.


And sung some fine duets, as well!


Question:
Where did an "Air Show" jet crash THIS week?

[ROBERT M.]

A. Quad-City Air Show in Davenport, Iowa

Q. How many tracks has the Rarer Monro including the jingles ?

[hpooch]

A. 66

Q. WHAT ACTOR WILL BE PORTRAYING FDR IN THE UPCOMING FILM "HYDE PARK ON HUDSON"?

[LindyG]

A. One of my favorite actors, Bill Murray...

(Get Low, starring Bill Murray and Robert Duvall and Sissy Spacek, was EXCELLENT!)

Q. Who got lost in his kayak last weekend, and was "helped" (not rescued, the PR team were quick to point out) by the U.S. Coast Guard? HInt: In the past, he persuaded us most convincingly, that he knew a thing or two about navigating rough seas. I still believe him.

[Marian]

A. Was it Russell Crowe Lindy?

Q. If it was, what part does Russell play in the new film of "Les Miserables"?

[LindyG]

You are correct Marian! Poor Russell, he'll get about this forever! And he is in the middle of playing the Biblical "Noah"! (I'm so glad the Coast Guard "helped" him!)

Quasi-Answer (I hadn't heard): Marian, Does Russell play Jean Valjean?!?!?! And does he sing?!?!

[Marian]

Sorry Lindy, not Jean Valjean, but close! Hugh Jackman is Jean Valjean.
Yes, I haven't seen it yet, but it is the the musical version so yes, Russell does sing.

[LindyG]

Hi Marian,
Well then, does Russell play the psychotic police officer, Javert? Who seriously confuses wrong from right as a matter of course (but does have one of the best/most beautiful songs in Les Mis, and Russell would play that role great, I think. He'll be SCARY!)

A. Javert it is.

Eu...here are samples (actually, Russell sounds the BEST here!)...but they're not singing the songs from the original Les Mis, it's an entirely different musical). "Eponine" is singing the original song though.

Q. What prescription drug seriously interfered with the singing/performing career of the Everly Brothers?

[karl]

Russell did sound good, Hugh Jackman was scary!

I hope this production of Les Miserables is better than the Liam Neeson film, the stage show is magnificent I've seen it in three different countries and each production was first class.

[LindyG]

No takers on the question I posted on The Everly Brothers?

I have another question ready, if so...

[hpooch]

A. RITALIN (being a retired pharmacist I experienced some weird results from teenagers taking this "legal" prescription).

Q. MADONNA & MARIAH CAREY SANG TWO OF THE MOST POPULAR SONGS FROM 1990 THAT BEGAN WITH 'V'. WHAT WERE THEY??
