14..Hoop and Waq correctly place Carney as the original with Walter.

15..Among a 4some, it was a struggle that we got Madame Sec'y married or not married or just occupying side by
side motel rooms with connecting door.

16..Shannon is correct, and stop giggling over VAUC's sworn testimony.

17..It is AT&T, as hoop, VAUC & wally state. I think Ma Bell was separate then. Nowadays if you advise folks
to "reach out and touch someone", you'll get arrested.

18..Qatar, unless they are bombing Yemen still, and geordi's on the scene.

19..Pinot, more than anyone, would know about drinking sweet wine, though give him credit for the accuracy
of every word in his presentation. Originally an Ed Ames tune. VAUC & geordi have the "Today" title, too.

20..The funky marine iguana that Pinot once dumped in the Everglades and is causing major problems.

21..See JC or VAUC, both subbing for Martha at Oldies shows.

22..The Buddy Holly Story, as told by hoop and VAUC (in not-credible southern accents).

23..Rbny, hoop and geordi, patriots all, but with lousy singing voices.

24..Lots of near misses, but Mets(who? where'd he come from?) is on the nose with 1802.

25..Florida still has a law on the books vs. cohabitation.

And speaking of Florida, our Gov. has apparently forbidden his agencies spokespersons to never utter
"global warming" nor "climate change". Meanwhile our upcoming week has us in a late-May weather
pattern. Raise your glasses to all those who have their heads under the sand.
