21. JoJo White was a NBA player, a Celtic for a while. In the Beatles tune "Get Back", there's a line "get back JoJo... your momma's waiting for you .. wearing her high-heel boots .. and a low-neck sweater.."
23. "She's got a way about her"?

15. If it is David Ben-Gurion, I think you may need to clarify since he held many positions throughout his career - including twice as Prime Minister.

16. Keith Jackson, the voice of college football (which I think starts this weekend)
21. JoJo White was an NBA player and not from Tuscan AZ as the Beatles claim. Get Back.
24. Karma. He turns his life around, or tries to after winning a lottery. He has to do good or make up for all the bad he did or karma will make his life bad. Good show, and it had the smoking hot Jaime Pressly

14.. Town and gown

15..Ben-Gurion, but don't know who succeeded him.

16..Keith Jackson

18..Instead of having your lender go forward with a foreclosure action, you deed your property to the lender.

20..Incas, Pizzaro

21..Jo Jo White played guard for the Celtics but was not from Tucson Arizona, which is where Jo Jo in the Beatles song "get back" was from.

Not a fan, I guess?
Arizona starts tomorrow night, could be a long night at the stadium due to monsoon thunderstorms. Will make a mess of NCAA's lightning protocols, as we can watch lightning for hours without it ever coming close.

25. The Great Gildersleeve and Portia Faces Life (yes, a soap. But what else are you
going to listen to when you're home with the measles).

Some others that I recall: "Oxydol's" Old Ma Perkins, Backstage Wife, Pepper Young's Family,
and The Romance of Helen Trent (the show which asks the burning question: can a woman over 35
find romance, etc. . . .)

For football (gridiron) purposes, the weekend is Thurs-Mon.

25..Or, ed4, if you're a kid in the back seat coming home from grandma. BTW, did you miss the coda following?

15..Yes, Cajun, but common sense should tell you I'm not looking for a lesser position than PM. If you know the guy who did a 2-year stint after David's 1st term, say so.

19..Tiein' up my white tie, brushin' off my tails.

23.."Won't dish the dirt with the rest of the girls."

And Pinot, your selection does not have the sense of others having troubles with the lady.
"And she'll only reveal what she wants you to see. Blame it all on yourself, cause...?

I like the others only knew the Ben-Gurion part .... so I looked it up only for my own curiosity (having no intention of offering the answer) However, discovering the conundrum I sought only to seek clarity.

23. OK, so, I think that's "The Lady is a Tramp", but, I'm missin' the Joel connection.

25. Yes, I did miss the coda. That would likely be Johnny Dollar. (evidently I listened
to far too much radio as a kid).

14..Town and Gown (clever poetry, no?) by UcM & hoop.

15..Like Cajun types, Mr. Ben-Gurion was PM twice, 1st followed by Mr. Sharett, as geordi offers. Then K9
& VAUC slip in Golda Meier, for your reading pleasure.

16..The JC 5some gives us Keith Jackson.

17..K9 half-stumbles into it. Yes, Amy has a "Me and Mr. Jones". Mind-boggling, I know.

18..Hoop offers a legible reply. K9 is less charitable to the home-dweller.

19.You leave this to me? TOP HAT, a Ginger and Fred extravaganza.

20..Inca or Peru
Will do. With Pizarro the slayer. Credit to hoop.

21..Meyers and a load of bball & Beatles fans.

22..How, Cajun, could you(or any Boneyarder) know such esoterica?

23..Pinot gots the Frank one anyway.

24..See K9...or Meyers for a windier exposition.

25..Newly proclaimed resident expert on "Radio Days"(Woody Allen), I give you Ed4, with all his rashes.

Less perfect here, but take yourself an aggregate 94% all told.

I was stationed in Subic Bay in 83 and 84 ... every local Filipino family had at least one

Did you ever think that there'd be such a payoff 3 decades later?:rolleyes:
