Big Blue Huddle

I got it in 4. But it took a very long time. I had the first 3 letters in 3 but the last 2 were tough.

This is fun having the movie actor and figuring out his movies by the roles he/she plays.

So let's continue with John Wayne.

I know he made a huge amount of movies before he really became a star so I am not even going there, trying to stay with movies I would hope most people have seen and will remember his character. Again, all the movies were very well known and their characters were memorable.

1--Rooster Cogburn  (If you don't know this forget the rest) (Really 2 movies with the same character, but I'm looking for the main one)  true grit and Rooster Cogburn

2--The Ringo Kid (see #1) Stagecoach

3--Tom Doniphon the man who shot liberty valance

4--Lt Col Benjamin Vandervoort  the longest  day (guess)

5--John Elder  the sons of Katie elder

6--General William Tecumseh Sherman  how the west was won

7--Capt Nathan Brittles she wore a yellow ribbon

8--Sean Thornton. The quiet man

9--Hondo Lane hondo

10--Ethan Edwards. The searchers

11--John T Chance Rio bravo

12---Davy Crockett. The alamo

13--Thomas Dunson 

14--Capt Kirby York. Fort apache

15--Robert Marmaduke Hightower

16--Sgt John Stryker sands of iwo jima

17--Lt Col Kirby Yorke. Rio grande

18--Ricklin

19--John Breen

20--Col Joseph Madden

The last 3 I have no recollection.

Tough one today. I thought my streak was over as I was on line 6 and still only 3 letters. I spent about 10 minutes trying to rearrange them and finally saw an opening and got it in 6.

Today's word was a bit tricky. I got it in 5 but took longer than usual.

Bill

Today I got the word on my first try. Lenn, you should have a great day today too.

Bill

Crashed and burned today. 39 game streak is over

Several variations of that combination Bill. I waffled with two choices and screws up on the first one but got it in four. Linda got it in two. Does Louise play?

Have a great Birthday Weekend, my friend!

Yes Louise does play but has limited patience. Thanks for the birthday wishes. A night of USFL. Go Generals!

Bill

It took all six tries today. Had 4 of 5 letters in the right place after 3 tries but it took 3 more attempts before I finally got it.

You guys are chipping away at the list, so let me help you all out a bit

#3-- An easy one if you just take the first name. He is bad.

#5 was a tricky one, so substitute Father instead of his first name

#7-- Another toughie--think comedy about a very and a bit weird lady with her name as the title

#8-- and Jim will kick himself for not getting this one --'Pilgram'

Tuco   The good the bad the ugly

Ransom Stoddard    The man who shot Liberty Valance

Bill

Today's word in 3.

Bill

I got today's word in 5. It was a word I was unfamiliar with.

Bill

5 for me today.

Bill

I had a good friend who was the manager of The Mt. Washington Hotel back in the late seventies.

Bill

Both Gleason and Newman did a lot of the pool shots themselves. Gleason was a very good pool player and Newman bought a pool table and spent hours learning how to play.

For the first time I just watched "The Hustler."  I liked it a lot even though most of the characters were low lifes.

I really liked The Hustler. George C Scott was great. A real bastard.

Bill

It's good to get another trip around the sun.
