alice cooper

by NedB-H Thu Nov 10, 2011 5:57 am

Nope

Just to clarify, the player didn't have hits himself, but guys with the same name did....

by pedro Thu Nov 10, 2011 7:35 am

Bjorn again? Laugh

by McLaren Thu Nov 10, 2011 7:43 am

Britney Spears?

by pedro Thu Nov 10, 2011 8:21 am

James (Jim) Morrison?

by kwinigolfer Thu Nov 10, 2011 9:03 am

Nice on pedro,
You could play for West Brom as well.
Got to be correct surely?

by pedro Thu Nov 10, 2011 9:20 am

Yes, has to be him. Preferred the old Morrison to the new one though.

Ok, me again. Who am I?

-I share the name (both first and surname) with a famous actor
-The particular actor is no longer alive
-It is fair to say that the actor was a typecast

by kwinigolfer Thu Nov 10, 2011 9:41 am

Ted Ray?
Not sure about the type-casting except that he was a comedian and comic actor.

by pedro Thu Nov 10, 2011 9:52 am

No, not Ted Ray.

Hint: you have to think out of the box - and then maybe not.

by NedB-H Thu Nov 10, 2011 2:33 pm

Sorry, been out tonight, but Pedro has it. Good work.

by pedro Fri Nov 11, 2011 8:11 pm

New clue:
I have participated in the Ryder Cup.

by SetupDeterminesTheMotion Fri Nov 11, 2011 8:50 pm

Is the actor Welsh ?

by Doon the Water Fri Nov 11, 2011 10:17 pm

Participated eh! I take it that means not played.

Ivor The Starter

by pedro Sat Nov 12, 2011 12:11 am

I have played in the Ryder Cup!

by princedracula Sat Nov 12, 2011 12:56 am

pedro, pedro... you naughty boy!!!!

by pedro Sat Nov 12, 2011 12:57 am

pd, let me hear then! Very Happy

by SpacemanSpiff Sat Nov 12, 2011 1:11 am

Glen Ford

by princedracula Sat Nov 12, 2011 1:13 am

Had to google all that, of course, I wouldn't know anything about that sort of stuff... angel

Slight difference though acording to wikipedia, one was JC the other is JB... Wink

by pedro Sat Nov 12, 2011 2:17 am

pd,
only first and surname had to be identical... Wink

Anyway, you're spot on!
You're up next!

by SetupDeterminesTheMotion Sat Nov 12, 2011 4:14 am

You forgot

Richard Burton who has also played in the Ryder Cup.

by princedracula Sat Nov 12, 2011 5:18 am

OK, my turn then...

From its first edition untill 2011, there have been a total of 75 Masters editions and obviously 75 winners. Nearly half of these winners belong to only 3 zodiac signs (each of these 3 signs are quite clearly ahead of the others in that respect). What are these 3 signs?

I'm afraid I'll have to accept only complete answers (with ALL 3 signs), otherwise it would be too easy to guess/eliminate them one by one...

PD,

Please tell me someone hacked into your PC and posted this question????!!!!

by princedracula Sat Nov 12, 2011 5:35 am

not mine, but they must've hacked into my mother-in-law's pc... Whistle

by pedro Sat Nov 12, 2011 8:26 am

The sign of the Tiger, Shark and Golden Bear?

by princedracula Sat Nov 12, 2011 9:10 am

The Shark and Golden Bear are both Aquarius, and that is indeed one of the 3 signs (12 winners). Tiger's a Capricorn, but that's not one of the top 3 (it's actually the 4th with 8 winners, mostly due to Tiger, of course)...

by princedracula Sat Nov 12, 2011 9:12 am

btw, the Shark never won the Masters, so he's no contribution there...

by princedracula Sat Nov 12, 2011 11:28 pm

OK, I think I'd better give you the answer to this very important question... So, if you're an Aquarius (12 wins), Gemini (12) or a Virgo (11) you stand a great chance to win the Masters! At the opposite pole, if you're a Taurus (only 1 winner - Mike Weir), forget it...!
And that's the scientific explanation as to why Rory and Lee have been struggling to win the Masters - they're both Taurus! Very Happy

by pedro Sat Nov 12, 2011 11:30 pm

pd, do you also do woodoo?

by McLaren Thu Nov 17, 2011 3:42 am

I went to the same high school as a glee cast member, an astronaut, a pro bowler and a dolphin. Who am I?

by princedracula Thu Nov 17, 2011 6:40 am

...and you won the Open Wink

by kwinigolfer Thu Nov 17, 2011 6:41 am

Not Paul Lawrie?

by princedracula Thu Nov 17, 2011 7:16 am

Well, Paul Lawrie did win the Open as well, but I was referring to another (single major) Open winner. And I think the dolphin was from Miami... Wink

by mystiroakey Thu Nov 17, 2011 7:19 am

by kwinigolfer Thu Nov 17, 2011 8:06 am

pd,
There was an NFL kicker from Scotland who I think played briefly for the fish - harpoon in the dark.

by Maverick Thu Nov 17, 2011 8:08 am

Didnt the Indianapolis Colts have a scottish kicker on there special teams during their superbowl win over the Chicago Bears. Think his name was Adam something..

by princedracula Thu Nov 17, 2011 8:16 am

Actually, now that I think about it more, there is another close connection between my man, Paul Lawrie and the Open (apart from the fact that they both won it and they're both single major winners)...

by kwinigolfer Thu Nov 17, 2011 8:17 am

Expect that was Adam Vinatieri and I think he's from North Dakota.
I was thinking of Lawrence Tynes, but it turns out he went to High School at the same place as, I think, Boo Weekley, Heath Slocum and Bubba!

Doh

Definately him Kwini thinking about, i'm getting him confused with Tynes who won SuperBowl with the NY GIants, getting my Manning family teams and superbowls mixed up

by McLaren Thu Nov 17, 2011 8:43 am

ehh, no one that close so far.

heres another clue, the character played by the glee actor shares his name with a piece of sporting equipment.

and yeah the open clue is spot on.

by super_realist Thu Nov 17, 2011 8:45 am

Mac, I think what you are failing to realise is that most people on here will have never seen a nanosecond of Glee, let alone know anyone on it.

It's a prepubescent kinds programme, for christ sake.

...........I'll let someone add the punchline. Yahoo

by princedracula Thu Nov 17, 2011 8:53 am

Well, if I'm not close enough, then I better name him...
Justin Leonard!

by McLaren Thu Nov 17, 2011 8:55 am

spot on prince

Are you a fellow glee fan?

by princedracula Thu Nov 17, 2011 8:59 am

no way, just a google fan... Smile

by McLaren Thu Nov 17, 2011 9:03 am

cheating Shite

Right then prince lets have another.

by princedracula Thu Nov 17, 2011 9:05 am

...and btw, the connection to Paul Lawrie I was referring to was of course the fact that Leonard was the 'not so famous' loser in the '99 Carnoustie playoff which Lawrie won...

by McLaren Thu Nov 17, 2011 9:16 am

I assumed you had it at that point prince. I actually found out the trivia whilst googling leonard, I was checking his pres cup captaincy credentials.

by pedro Thu Nov 17, 2011 10:19 am

What impresses me about Leonard is that he seems to win tournaments almost every year, yet always go low on the radar.

by Doon the Water Sat Nov 19, 2011 2:17 am

Wee fitba one to break the spell.
Which Scottish player scored in two European cup finals before 1971
I was surprised by this one, found out by reading Alan Brazil's pretty awful book.

by SetupDeterminesTheMotion Sat Nov 19, 2011 2:22 am

Alan Gilzean.

by kwinigolfer Sat Nov 19, 2011 2:24 am

Denis Law?
