Hmm... just going on a gut feeling here... For 5, is that her maiden name, rather than her married name (or vice versa)?

Um, Yinyang, I'm under the impression that this was her maiden name since I've not seen any reference to a spouse. Good question, though. I'll check on it.

11. and 12. ring a bell. 12 had some sort of illicit 15 minutes of fame. I can't remember any of the others.
I love your games!

Foam, I hate to say it, but you're 0 for 12.
Enemy, #12 did not do anything illicit during her fifteen minutes, but the actions surrounding her certainly seemed criminal (they weren't officially viewed as such, though). BTW, there are some connections between 11 and 12. Given your interests I'm sure they'll come to you.

Yinyang, I cannot find a reference to #5 under any other name than the one listed. As far as I know, that is her birthname.

Frank Brown is a cyclist
Nancy Green is Aunt Jemima
Rudy Martinez is a musician I think
At 11:57 AM,
X. Dell said…
Well, Monique, you might think of one yet.
C-Dell, you've got #5. Rudy Martinez is in fact a musician, but specifically, which one? I know nothing about cycling, so I would concede there's probably a biker named Frank Brown. But that's not the one I'm thinking of.

Didn't get a single one, but I thoroughly enjoyed finding out who they were.
Where do you come up with this stuff?
At 2:38 PM,
Devin said…
I also didnt get a single one-the Vecchio name was familiar to me for some reason-I will look them up or try to anyway-best to you as always!!

Charles Gramlich said…
I don't recognize any of them, unless number 11 is the guy who stopped the tank in Tianman square.
At 4:38 PM,
X. Dell said…
NYD, that's one way to approach it. As you probably have found out by now, they were all familiar to you.
Devin, that's okay. Hopefully, you'll have a good time doing it.
Charles, I don't know if anyone has ever identified the guy in front of the tank, as famous as that image was. But #11 is female.

wow, x, you always have the best games..i'm not recognizing any right away, except, i think one was actually a character in a stephen king book! (frank brown, i think) lolol!
but i'll keep this in mind for a few days, see if something comes to mind..

My thinking skills are poor as I just finished summer session.
At 9:45 AM,
X. Dell said…
Libby, no fictional characters here. These all are (or were) flesh and bone people.
Enemy, I understand. The beauty part is you get to prepare for the next semester.
At 10:01 AM,
C-dell said…
I really wish I could try again, I want to know who these people are
At 2:30 PM,
X. Dell said…
C-Dell, you may try as many times as you like.

Helene said…
Didnt know any, so I Googled them and even then, many stories I didnt recognize...
How is life in Cinci and hows your summer going?

Ricardo said…
I feel that I should know these names but I do not.

SJ said…
In Google I trust actually depend. So drawing a blank.
Is Mary Vecchio connected to the Scooter Libby incident?
At 7:36 AM,
SJ said…
OK totally off the mark.
At 3:00 PM,
X. Dell said…
Helene, thanks for askin. Life in Ciny's challenging. I still don't have a computer hook-up. But we're getting there.
Ricardo, the point here is that you know the people, just not their names.
SJ, I'm gathering you Googled Vecchio and found out she had no connection to Scooter Libby. In her case, she's a familiar face.
