15: Sea Monkeys!

4 - Charles Lindbergh

15 - Sea Monkeys

3 - Sign from the train station in the TV series Gunsmoke

Those are tough!

6: looks like Princess Di

16 = waterbuffalo hat from flintstones
13 = on the tip of my tongue, gaaaaaah. Is it Meryl Streep?

nm, dont know what i was thinking, its not Streep, but god.. it's so familiar.

5 - could either be a young Iggy Pop or a young Vincent Furnier (Alice Cooper)

I live in this town and I can say from experience that this is one of the craziest, if not craziest, time of the year. It is considered the largest trivia contest in the world. It has had at least one documentary made about it. The Jeopardy guy that won so many shows came to town last year or teh year before to get material for his book.

Bubba Grizz and I were part of many teams in college. It was funner back then because you didn't have the internet to research everything. The last couple years questions have been god awful hard. On my street alone there are at least 3 teams. I will usually just drop in to different teams, eat their food and drink and then leave. It pretty much is a 54 hour straight party. If you walk in somewhere, you will usually be accepted as a member of the family. Those picture questions are amongst the hardest of the lot. The fact that we answered (or think we did) 5 or 6 of them on this board is pretty amazing. A couple years ago, the team I hung out with was only able to figure out 2 or 3 and they were a top team.

This year it will allow people to join the contest from anywhere via the internet. The whole contest will be webcast. I can't think of what the web address is but if anyone is interested then I can get it.

Picture 8 looks like Marlon Brando

It's Marlon until I hear otherwise!

Will we get the correct answers to these later?

13 is really starting to annoy me. It kind of looks like Janine Turner, but it's not!

Winnow wrote:6: looks like Princess Di

Yeah it is but dunno who that is with her...Dunno if we need to know...

Could 8 be Hamlet?

It's Judi Dench. M from James Bond.

Hmm, it could be.

So for that quizz you can use internet and every tool you want ?

that is definitely not the water buffalo hat from the flintstones.

It is the hat from "Huey, Duey and Louie" from Ducktales when they are in their young woodchuck outfit i think :

and in my opinion the picture 14 looks more like Brando than the old king one

6. looks like Princess Di

16. looks like a cartoon hate from a Hanna and Barbarra toon.

13. Nice mullet

8 Is that King Bruno from Jabberwocky...I swear he's from a python or related film...

The cereal with the Quaker Hat has to be from a Quaker Oats product eh?

I was thinking it was from a Shredded Wheat ad.

I seem to remember something like that too.

9 is an oompa loompa in the Willy Wonka factory ><

8 has to be Hamlet, I feel like I'm 50 years too young to be participating in this trivia.

Consensus is Hamlet died at 30 in the play. While there is some debate and a bit of wiggle room...I'm gonna venture a no...

That is an official Fnordware Winter Hat! Note the VV on it

8 is definitely King Bruno from Jabberwocky. Here are other pictures. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jabberwocky_(film)

14 Kinda looks like Bob Hope

The hat isn't a junior woodchuck. The junior Woodchuck hat has a WJW logo on it. There was a "woodchuck militia" (also Disney) that wore coonskin caps as well but I couldn't find any pictures that had a W on them.

9 is something from willy wonka. With the all the stretchy stuff it might be related to laffy taffy.

I am certain I saw 17 on a Public TV documentary on cars within the last year. It might have been a cover for a song title from the twenties or soemthing.

One of the black guys kinda looks like a young lionel richie.

19 looks like a golden graham to me.
