Game #164: Out of Order!

[franktangredi]

So, we match Al Capone with Unser to get Al Unser (Jr.) who won the Indy 500 driving for Roger Penske.

Looking over some of the other names, this match probably isn't right.

I think Roger Penske goes with Yenta (Taney) for Roger Taney, best known for the infamous Dred Scott Supreme Court decision.

And here's the Al Capone reference. I should have figured it out immediately when Bugs Bunny was an answer but Al Capone goes with Bugs Bunny and Roman for Bugs Moran, the employer of the gentlemen who were dispatched in the St. Valentine's Day Massacre.

Well, this is a record for finding the Tangredi. I knew this one wasn't going to be hard, but I didn't expect anybody to look at the word list quite this early.

Regarding the above: take a look at the solving directions for an important reminder.

[mellytu74]

59. This Hockey Hall of Famer was the first NHL player to play twenty seasons – all of them with the Boston Bruins.

RAY BOURQUE

Bourque played his last season with the Avalanche. Might it be John Bucyk?

then I must have misread the question - because Bourque's first 20 years were with the Bruins.

Can't be Bucyk - he started out with the Red Wings.

[mellytu74]

9. A species of rabbit is named for this media mogul, who turned 90 in 2016.

RUPERT MURDOCH

Oh for heaven's sake ... Fireball is right. It HAS to be Hefner

[mellytu74]

84. This two-time middleweight champ was scheduled to play himself in the movie Somebody Up There Likes Me, but he was replaced after he knocked out Paul Newman for real.

ROCKY GRAZIANO

This can't be Graziano since Newman played Graziano in the film and if they actually thought of casting Rocky in the lead role, he wouldn't be sparring with Paul Newman.

It could be Tony Zale because the timing is right, and he had a notable fight with Graziano.

It would also match with Citrus (Curtis) and Albert De Salvo for Tony Curtis, who played De Salvo in the movie The Boston Strangler.

I completely misread this question.

Yes - TONY ZALE is right. Courtland Shepherd played him.

[mellytu74]

18. Following in the footsteps of Judith Anderson and Zoe Caldwell, this Dame became the third actress to win a Tony for playing the same role.

This is DIANA RIGG. the role is Medea

[mellytu74]

BUT it is ...

Aubrey Victor "Dit" Clapper

[silverscreenselect]

Regarding the above: take a look at the solving directions for an important reminder.

Frank noted that 40 of the names are used twice, so we can match up Al Unser and Roger Penske after all.

[mellytu74]

61. The official NASA mission log noted that “not since Adam has any human known such solitude” as this astronaut.

I do believe this is MICHAEL COLLINS during Apollo 11

[mellytu74]

29. ROBINSON CANO + Source = Robinson Crusoe + 87. DANIEL DAFOE

Second use of Dafoe

[mellytu74]

73. This chemist may be considered one of the architects of the modern world thanks to his invention of polyoxybenzylmethylenglycolanhydride in 1907.

As Mr. K said, a fancy name for plastic. I just realized this is Bakelite.

LEO BAEKELAND

[mellytu74]

19. This English chemist shared the Nobel Prize with two Americans for their work in discovering fullerenes.

HAROLD KROTO.

I admit I looked this up because I thought that #72 might be Harold MacMillan but I think we need a newer vintage on that answer.

Anyway.... Mr. K had me thinking. Mercer wrote the lyrics but Harold ARLEN (Renal) wrote the music.

19. HAROLD KROTO + Renal = Harold Arlen + 40. JOHNNY MERCER

Which I believe is the second use of Mercer

[silverscreenselect]

Hugh Hefner + Salon (Sloan) = Hugh Sloan, a Watergate figure working for the campaign to re-elect Richard Nixon.

[mellytu74]

Hugh Hefner + Salon (Sloan) = Hugh Sloan, a Watergate figure working for the campaign to re-elect Richard Nixon.

83. Following what has become an annual tradition, Carnegie Hall will hold a concert this month honoring this mezzo-soprano on her 83rd birthday.

Is this MARILYN HORNE? Because...No More! doesn't = Moreno. It equals Monroe.

Who would go with Hugh Hefner

[mellytu74]

Tony Zale's other best-known fight was again Marcel Cerdan with Edith Paif (Cerdan's lover) praying in the audience.

10. MARCEL DUCHAMPS + Dancer = Marcel Cerdan + 84. TONY ZALE

Second use of Zale

[mellytu74]

14. A 2001 survey of economists named him the second most popular economist of the 20th century – behind the man whose “naïve” theories he devoted his life to opposing – but he said his proudest achievement was his role in ending the U.S. military draft.

I would guess Keynes and Friedman are the two most popular economists of the 20th century -- but I'm not sure which this clue describes.

Uncle Miltie called him Uncle Fultie.

14. MILTON FRIEDMAN + Rebel = Milton Berle + 62. FULTON SHEEN

[silverscreenselect]

Clifford Odets + Virgin (Irving) = Clifford Irving, author of the bogus Autobiography of Howard Hughes

[mellytu74]

25. LES PAUL + Spain = Les Aspin who was Secretary of Defense under 1. BILL CLINTON

I have to go back to work now.

Really.

[jarnon]

I got to this game late, and most of the answers I know have already been given. Here are a few leftovers.

12. The nationalist movement founded by this activist in 1831 inspired such later groups as Young Germany and the Young Turks; he himself lived to see its chief goal achieved, though not exactly in the way he wanted.
GIUSEPPE MAZZINI

26. He was General Secretary of his nation’s Communist party from 1953 to 1968. Then came the Spring.
ANTONÍN NOVOTNÝ

46. His appointment was confirmed by the thinnest margin of any U.S. Supreme Court justice of the 20th century.
CLARENCE THOMAS

89. He had the largest speaking role in three different plays by William Shakespeare.
SIR JOHN FALSTAFF

99. Speaking of waking up famous, this botanist noted, “When I woke up just after dawn on September 28, 1928, I certainly didn't plan to revolutionize all medicine.” (But he did.)
SIR ALEXANDER FLEMING

[jarnon]

89. He had the largest speaking role in three different plays by William Shakespeare.

89. This seems a bit too obvious, so I'm not sure if it's right, but Henry VI is actually three separate plays, so it would make sense he had the largest roles in all three.

I just watched The Hollow Crown on PBS, and the King didn't have that many lines in Part 2 & 3. But you have the right era.

[silverscreenselect]

26. He was General Secretary of his nation’s Communist party from 1953 to 1968. Then came the Spring.
ANTONÍN NOVOTNÝ

46. His appointment was confirmed by the thinnest margin of any U.S. Supreme Court justice of the 20th century.
CLARENCE THOMAS

Seeing these two answers together practically gave this match away. I just had to find the right associated word.

Antonin Novotny + Calais + Clarence Thomas = Antonin Scalia

[jarnon]

33. She had the second-longest combined tenure as First Lady and Second Lady of the United States.

Looking up the dates in Wikipedia:
Pat Nixon: 13 years 7 months
Eleanor Roosevelt: 12 years 1 month
Barbara Bush: 12 years
Abigail Adams: 11 years 10 months

Of course, Eleanor was never Second Lady, but Frank could be sneaky. (In the same vein, Norman Mailer and Frank have won 2 Pulitzer Prizes between them.) The "Nixon rule" fails here.

[mellytu74]

I just got in the house - I will consolidate.

[SportsFan68]

Out of order! Out of order! You're out of order! This whole court is out of order!

I love that scene.

[jarnon]

This game is moving so fast, a consolidation will help.
