Re: Smiler Grogan, Report to Game and Figure Out Tangredi!
I 've looked at it a few times and I got nothing. We could make Howard Beale from Howard Rollins + Edward Albee, but I don't see any other Oscar-winning roles we could make that way. Unless the connection is people who are mad as hell.

Well... we may have a first, ladies and gentlemen. A sitewide stumper. Even my Notorious Turkeys game ultimately got its theme figured out, but that was only after I dropped a load of clues in my comments. I could drop more clues on this one, but I'm starting to run dry in the clue department. Soon, I'll end up saying something that just gives away my theme.smilergrogan wrote:I 've looked at it a few times and I got nothing.

My only other thought is that perhaps the Pastor cited Smiler for a different reason. We've been told that one of the names on the list bears a direct relationship to the Tangredi. And the Jimmy Durante clue directly references Smiler Grogan. Perhaps this was a way of saying that Durante is the name that has a direct relationship to the Tangredi?Pastor Fireball wrote:Well... we may have a first, ladies and gentlemen. A sitewide stumper.

Re: Smiler Grogan, Report to Game and Figure Out Tangredi!
The reference to dropping clues might have to do with my idea of dropping letters from a name to get another one, but there's far too much wiggle room on that with some of these longer names.Pastor Fireball wrote:Well... we may have a first, ladies and gentlemen.

If Jimmy Durante is the key, it might have something to do with a certain little known movie in which he had a key role.

Jimmy Durante is not directly connected to the title of the game. I only mentioned Smiler because he hadn't given any thoughts on the puzzle before today and everybody else was stumped.
