Megan, for the others, the first is a poker player with a nickname suggesting he talks a lot; for the second, combine boot with the second word from a term for someone who never pays for himself. For the 4th, think somone who has had a lot of plastic surgery (male).

Back with the 3rd hints in a moment. Nicole broke down the one directly right of drugs here: Nicole "Natter 48 Contiguous States of Denial" Nov 25, 2006 7:53:04 pm PST

Once you have that, try googling the phrase, using quotation marks.

The answer for the MASH location is weird, and wrong. The M stands for MOBILE! There was no one location. I remember them mentioning that place a bunch of times, but usually as someone was just coming from there or going to there, and there were a bunch of other places they mentioned just as often, too.

The only ones I'm still missing are one British band -- the one that's two words, each five letters, and the two three-word phrases in drugs .

Hil, for the second, see my third hint to Megan above. For the first, think sporty and posh.

Oooh, thanks. Now, all I've got left is the thing linked to that last drugs one, and one more magazine -- the seven-letter one that's at about 2:00, between Forbes and People.

Hil, when you google, open up a few of the top pages. You should see the last drug one. It's a novel.

For the magazine, it's a financial one. Not about Fame and all, but still good.

Thanks, Lee!

And I just realized I'm not done, I've still got two left. The ones connecting Penn & Teller and David Copperfield, respectively, to Las Vegas. I've tried names of shows and names of casinos , but nothing I could find through google worked.

Ack! And the one linking second and hand that's not used . Will this game ever end?

OK, got the David Copperfield one. Not sure how it's linked to Las Vegas -- if it were just David Copperfield and New York it would have been easier, I think.

If spam were selling real products, how much of it would you want? I'm trying to imagine a world in which my credit card debt could vanish without negative repercussions, or that Nigerian princess really did need my help, or I could get a perfectly normal degree online with no work.

I'd probably only be tempted by the Nigerians. Not the prescriptionless drugs or the low interest rate mortgages. Can't say why.

Hey Rick! As a non-academic type person, I've gotten the idea that European grad degrees are seriously harder than USanian ones -- the public examination in a foreign language certainly gives that impression.

And I just watched tommy's link to a carrier landing, which led me to other vids of landings and takeoffs. Having spent a lot of this weekend listening to the commentary on BSG S1 and how the producers try to build in the reality of the Galactica being a kind of aircraft carrier, I can see where they're coming from, literally. Cool beans!

I also slept in until past 10... it's going to be tough to get back into the work world, I anticipate.
