First topic message reminder :

Let's see how this pans out.

First person to get the confirmed correct answer gets to post the next clue. No need to give the number of characters in the name, but the clue must be for the first and last name (although variants of first name are allowed e.g. Andy or Andrew)

1. Delivered without Jay, a robot, without Cy.

Desperate Dan?
Steering the vessel - tiller?

Hmm... the clue there was in the word "steering JHM". Turds tend to be self propelling!

JHM... Since you are much better at clues, can you please provide one. I do not want to come up with another Nduka Odizor. Wink

by **JuliusHMarx** Mon Feb 13, 2012 2:32 am

Disciple of my brother's wife.

To get this one you'll need to google to find out who my brother's wife was. You'll need lateral thinking to figure out who my brother is (was).

by **laverfan** Mon Feb 13, 2012 2:58 am

Gonzales? Too many of them?

Fernando G. is retiring in Miami?

by **JuliusHMarx** Mon Feb 13, 2012 3:18 am

No.
Think about who I am (on this forum, not in real life), then go from there to get my brother (who also posts on this forum)

by **laverfan** Mon Feb 13, 2012 5:22 am

There is a HarpoMars who posts, very close to your moniker?

Is that the correct direction?

That's the correct brother (with me being Groucho aka Julius)

You mean something in the lyrics of the song?

by **laverfan** Wed Feb 15, 2012 3:25 am

No, nothing from the lyrics, but just 'Come hither' and part of 'Sweet Caroline' (the title).

by **JuliusHMarx** Wed Feb 15, 2012 4:10 am

P.S it doesn't say 'rust' anymore - that was a mistake.
