OK. Here's one for you or for any other contestant who might show up.

The category is Children's Literature.

They gave him what goes for a cold in his nose and some more for a cold in his head.

Here's a hint. He had weezles and sneezles. They bundled him into his bed.

Well, that is almost exactly right, Lightning Rod!

One minor error.

Christopher Robin only has one b in his last name.

Perhaps you should have used Google.

-------------

New category, new question eh? Is this one of YOUR famous friends? Or would someone like me who only knows all of your never-quite-got-famous friends be able to get this answer... er, question?

sorry i missed all the questions i took a little nap.

did you check out some songs by Zevon dor?

Post by **Doreen Peri** » September 28th, 2005, 10:39 pm

hey KidDo!

Not yet... I'm trying to find some country songs to do first because there's this internet country radio show run by a man I've known for many years and we are invited to be on the show maybe...

...

but while I'm in here in LimeWire, I'll do a search for Zevon.... what were the tunes you suggested again?

Hope you had a good nap! I love naps.

well you have to get use to his humor, sometimes if you here one of his songs without hereing a couple people tend to think he's morbid or a jerk...but its more of a sarcastic thing.

i love:

Carmalita
I Was in The House When The House Burned Down
Genius
Poor Poor Pitiful Me
Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner
Desperados under the Eaves (thats with Stevie Nicks i beleive
Mr. Bad Example
Mohammeds Radio
Mama Couldn't be Pursuaided (SP?) (this is a really fun lively one)

Mutineer (is a great ballad.)

I'll try to find Poor Poor Pitiful Me first because that will fit into the theme of the other tunes we're looking for, too!

Yeah, I'm familiar with Zevon's "Lawyer's, Guns & Money!" I just did a search... I'd forgotten about that one. I'll try to find some of the others, too.

Feel free to post a Final Jeopardy question.... er, I mean answer.

Poor Poor Pitiful Me is a very sarcastic song..i mean in someways its not though. hard to explain. i think its a really fun story, sometimes zevon likes to laugh at himself and his issues, i think this is one of those cases.

Okay, i've turned a joke I heard into a jeopardy question:

After being told that three brazilians had been wounded by a suicide bomber in Iraq, who asked the question, "how many is a brazilian?)

Heh.
