1. This native of Seattle, Washington stole the show at Woodstock with his rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner”.
2. He is the greatest basketball player in the annals of recorded history and possibly the most perfect person ever created and placed on this earth.
3. After Hattie McDaniel won an Academy Award in 1940, it was more than 50 years before this woman became the second African-American female Oscar winner.
4. Known as “The Miz”, my all-time favourite pool player passed away last year. He is probably better known to the general public for his appearances in those all-star Miller Lite commercials. If I had a nickel for every time I’ve read my dog-eared copy of his “Inside Pocket Billiards”….
5. These three men were the leading candidates in the 1992 Presidential Election.

Thanks for the QOD
Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

And everybody knows that Jesus' game is baseball!
In fact, baseball is mentioned often in the Bible:
God created the world in the Big Inning
Eve stole first; Adam stole second
The Samaritan woman walked to the well with the pitcher
And the Prodigal Son ran for home!

3. Miss Whoopi Goldberg (I like her name. It sounds like a good name for a Shitzsu.)
4. I can swim, but we don't have a pool, so I don't know the answer to this question.
5. Mr. President George H.W. Bush, Mr. Governor William Clinton, and Mr. Billionaire Ross Perot.
QoD: I think they might all be left-handed. (I'm ambidexpawed, myself.) If that's right -- or if that's what's left -- I wish you would have included Mr. Albert Einstein, who is my left-handed idol in the field of science, relatively speaking.
5-point bonus: That just might be International Left-Handers Appreciation Day, or something like that. At any rate, I have pretty much ruled out Talk Like a Pirate Day. That's a special day that I do not celebrate, because if I say "Argh!", somebody might think I was growling and be afraid.

QOD: I'm not going to chance it, although I suspect it might be that they're all sinistradextrous, judging only by the QOD title and the fact that I know Jimi played guitar lefthandedly, and Bubba and GHW were both southpaws.
5 Point Bonus: It's not your birthday. Is it Larry Bird's?

Hmm, seems potentially a bit subjective... Not a big B-ball person but I will guess Michael Jordan is the obvious choice. The perfect person part might be open to some debate but the B-ball part would not seem to be.
But I have been wrong before...

Well, assuming I have "correct" people to begin with I got a whole lot of nuthin' for this. But taking a clue from the title I am going to gamble and guess they are all southpaws like me! I know Clinton, Bush and Perot are and I think Goldberg is.

. In the year 1991 and 1992 or so, the Montreal Expos suffered from overbalance to the left, as the crafty type lefties Nabholz, Barnes and Haney all failed to establish themselves as big-league starters. I listened to those games, with semi-perverse lyrics based on Warren Zevon's "Lawyers, Guns and Money" in my head.
