Diane Keaton?

She's one of my favorites.

Chuck, the Roughriders are the only sports team I know of whose radio broadcasts are sponsored by competing brands of hybrid canola seed!

Ivor Wynne is 81 years old. It has now been determined that the original plans to renovate it are asking too much of the old structure, so last night the City Council voted to demolish it and build a completely new ballpark. This is good news in the Ticats' minds. No plans on where they will play their 2013 schedule have been announced. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=374804

He'll always be Mr. Pomfritt to me!

Correct, Jim! I learned last night that he was the President of the Screen Actors Guild thirty years ago, preceding Ed Asner.

I received a $40 Amazon gift certificate, and I spent it on the Frank Sinatra Capitol Concept Albums box and the Dean Martin Matt Helm DVD box. That's a lot for $39.00!

Correct, Valerie! I'm surprised anyone got her. Did you know her when she was married to Lester Bowie? Here's someone whose face I bet many recognize, but do you remember his name?

This is a hard one.

Here are this week's TSN power rankings: [1] Winnipeg: Fifth win in a row helps secure top spot[2] Calgary: Jump up a spot with victory over defending Champs[3] Montreal: Fell two games behind Blue Bombers with loss[4] Hamilton: Could not complete comback in Winnipeg[5] Edmonton: Looking for share of West lead against Stamps[6] B.C.: Well rested Lions hope to keep momentum going against Argos[7] Toronto: In B.C. on Labour Day weekend looking for third win[8] Saskatchewan: Miller's first game in charge is a tough matchuphttp://www.tsn.ca/cfl/ ***** This weekend coming up is Labor Day Weekend, which is considered the start of the second half of the season, just as the All Star Game break is considered the start of the second half of the baseball season. So I think this would be a good time to say the following. In the fifteen or so years that I have been listening to all the games on the internet, this year has been by far the least interesting. Toronto, Saskatchewan, BC and recently Edmonton have been pathetic. That's half the league. There have been fewer exciting games than usual. The passes to nowhere have been in abundance. But it is not uncommon for things to change in the second half of the year. Just last year BC and Edmonton were quite good in the second half after being dismal in the first half. Saskatchewan has fired its coach, so things may turn around for them. Steven Jyles will soon come off the injured list, so the Argos might get better in a hurry. BC has already shown some signs of improvement recently. Edmonton did well until their top four receivers went down, so if they can just hang on until they get them back, they might surprise in the playoffs. I can't explain how the Bombers have lost only one game so far. They are good, but not dominating. The Als have played better than their three losses would indicate. The Stampeders started slowly but won games on the road, and now they are starting to perform well. That leaves the Ticats, who will probably finish the year at .500. So all is not lost for the season yet. But we need to see better quarterbacking and better receiving if they expect people to come out to the games.

Correct, Valerie! I thought you might get her. But I bet you didn't get Kate Upton!

I hope this one isn't too obscure. Here's another photo of her: and the best that will post here:

Correct, Jim!

It's too bad that picture is so small, it is hard to see. I've found only one other photo, and it won't post here. So I'll give you a hint: He worked with both Ernie Kovacs and David Letterman.

Correct, Dave! She just turned 19, which I suppose at our age is the moral equivalent of jailbait! Valerie, do you remember Rocky and Bullwinkle hanging around Lake Veronica?

OK, I suppose nobody here above 30 knows her. Apparently she is the hot topic for every guy under 30 in America. Last hint: She was named Rookie of the Year in this year's Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.

It may be that everyone following this thread is too old to have heard of post #527, but I'll wait a while before giving a hint. In the meantime, here is someone from the past, for Americans.

Here's someone I had never heard of before today. If you can identify her, you are more hip to what's happening now than I am!

Correct FFA! and Richard Long reminds me a bit of Robert Goulet. sorry i can't post his picture! Years ago I did business in Quebec with a man named Goulet who told me that he was a cousin of Robert's. No reason not to believe him.

Correct, Paul! Maybe that was too easy. Here's a guy who reminded me of Gig Young.

Here's a familiar face!

Correct, Jack! I'm pretty sure that Vera was Howard Hughes' girlfriend.

Correct, Valerie! I was watching an episode of my dad's favorite tv show, The Rogues, tonight (on DVD), and she was in it. I hadn't thought about her in years. Here's another one for you.

Happy Birthday 2011 kh!
