When They Were Young
I’m pretty confident that no-one is going to guess who this woman is. Damn, I gave it away, I said it was a woman. Yup, it’s Lady Gaga.
No it isn’t, I’m sort of kidding.
For me to give you any type of hint as to who this is, would be giving the answer away. But since I like wrecking these games, let me tell you that this is an American born actor who has been in so many amazingly successful movies it makes my head spin. I’m sure it would make your head spin, too. Look at us, we’re just a couple of crazy kids whose heads are spinning right off our necks. Are we in love?

Harrison Ford?
July 2nd, 2009 at 10:29 am
Richard Dreyfuss?
July 2nd, 2009 at 10:45 am
Dustin Hoffman? Robin Williams? Gary Cooper? Paul Newman? Tony Curtis? Jack Lemmon? W.C. Fields?
July 2nd, 2009 at 10:52 am
Hey, how come Red Andy gets so many guesses,(all wrong,btw)?
Johnny Carson.
My one and ONLY guess.
Unless I’m wrong, in which case my lawyer will contact you about my getting another chance.
July 2nd, 2009 at 11:04 am
Johnny Carson…nyuk! And I can guess just as many times as I want (until the Mayor blocks my comments). Why not guess Jay Leno? He starred in a lot of amazingly successful movies, too.
Hey, I’m desperate dmorris…please don’t tattle on me to The Mayor. Please!
July 2nd, 2009 at 11:09 am
Fear not, Red Andy! We old prairie dogs don’t rat!
And I’d bet a pint of good beer that that IS Johnny Carson.
Take a close look.
Anyway, the Mayor’s probably off for the weekend at a fabulous luxury fishing resort in the Queen Charlottes, at the taxpayer’s expense!
Wish he’d taken me.
Sigh.
July 2nd, 2009 at 11:17 am
George Peppard?
July 2nd, 2009 at 11:28 am
Thanks dmorris…it’s always good to know someone who can hold a confidence. You are right…the nose and eyes look like Carson. Maybe The Mayor threw me off with his “amazingly successful movies” thing.
Clint Eastwood?
If it turns out to be Harrison Ford, then I will have wasted most of an hour trying to figure it out when the white Go_Fish already solved it.
I need to get a life.
Robert Duvall?
July 2nd, 2009 at 11:29 am
Nope, Johnny Carson.
Though he does look like George Peppard.
But isn’t.
Nice try.
July 2nd, 2009 at 11:37 am
I’m going with Conway Twitty.
July 2nd, 2009 at 11:40 am
I will make one more try, and leave you alone. When I saw the photo initially, my first thought was “Al Gore.”
It’s Gore, isn’t it?
July 2nd, 2009 at 11:46 am
Sorry dmorris…I didn’t realize that you had posted this challenge. I didn’t see a by-line, so I just assumed it was The Mayor. So, it is Johnny Carson…hmmm…OF COURSE IT IS! I knew that all along…uh…the clues made me doubt myself.
July 2nd, 2009 at 11:53 am
Harrison Ford.
July 2nd, 2009 at 12:23 pm
That is DEFINITELY Lawrence Tero, the HUGE STAR of DC Cab.
July 2nd, 2009 at 12:28 pm
Two Dogs, Mr.T!!?
Nope.
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeere’s JOHNNY!
July 2nd, 2009 at 12:30 pm
Andy, it IS the Mayor’s challenge, not mine. I’m just being annoying because it’s Thursday, and the Mayor’s not home.
July 2nd, 2009 at 12:43 pm
I’m not pure enough to be white. Consider me more a stained, mop water gray.
Did the mayor leave the liquor cabinet open? Let’s go see.
July 2nd, 2009 at 1:42 pm
Well crud, dmorris…of course it’s not Johnny Carson. I KNEW THAT!
I think Two Dogs is getting his photos mixed. I’m pretty sure he figured that the dick head photo was “Mr. T”
So, is this now a regular Thursday edition of: “The Mayor’s away, so the residents can play” deal?
July 2nd, 2009 at 1:52 pm
I will tell you who it is not — it is not Johhny Carson. Or Tucker Carlson. Or Ed McMahon. Or any talk show host.
July 2nd, 2009 at 2:45 pm
Oh, so the Mayor is back in town. Behave children.
Al Gore?
July 2nd, 2009 at 5:34 pm
Glen Ford
July 2nd, 2009 at 5:55 pm
Oh,oh. The Mayor’s back! He’s gonna save his reputation.
Hey li-dey-li
The Mayor’s back!
It’s NOT Carson?! I’d bet my bottom dollar it was Carson.
So………sh**, this is the first time I’ve been wrong since 19:42!
Hm, does kinda look like Glen Ford, but Glen was born in Canada, Quebec Province.
July 2nd, 2009 at 5:55 pm
John Wayne.
July 2nd, 2009 at 5:57 pm
Okay,Mayor, you know I hate to grovel, but………well actually I don’t mind grovelling if there’s a decent reward to be gained…….so, a hint, a teeeensy-weeeensy hint…….
PLEASE(End of grovelling)
July 2nd, 2009 at 5:58 pm
Is 19:42 army time, as in you haven’t been wrong since 7:42 regular time? Cuz if that’s the case, it means you haven’t been wrong in the last 4 minutes.
John Wayne? Let me tell you something, partner…nope, not John Wayne.
July 2nd, 2009 at 6:01 pm
Not Mr T, not Conway Twitty (but I love that answer), and not George Peppard.
Hmmmmm….
July 2nd, 2009 at 8:13 pm
Audie Murphy?
Hint?
Was he a leading character, or the perennial “sidekick”??
Tom Hanks?
I’m getting desperate,Mayor!
July 2nd, 2009 at 8:34 pm
Rock (Boytoy) Hudson?
July 2nd, 2009 at 9:53 pm
Well,I won’t be sleeping tonite!
Robert Redford?
July 2nd, 2009 at 10:38 pm
Ha, Cliff Robertson.
Cheers
July 3rd, 2009 at 12:10 am
If it is Harrison Ford, why am I not surprised that he’s had that same smirk on his face for 60 years now?
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:21 am
He DOES look like Cliff Robertson!
Okay,Mayor,Did this guy play JFK in a movie?
It’s this type of thing that caused the coup in Honduras!
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:23 am
I haven’t slept all night.
Dean Stockwell?
(sob)
July 3rd, 2009 at 7:28 am
Robert Wagner!
It’s gotta be Robert Wagner.
Coffee’s kicked in, I may make it through the day.
July 3rd, 2009 at 10:14 am
dmorris, don’t you know that the Mayor is probably enjoying this just a little too much! I’ve decided not to give him the satisfaction of knowing just how completely frustrated I am. I will never grovel…much.
It does look like Robert Wagner.
Jan-Michael Vincent?
Marjoe Gortner?
July 3rd, 2009 at 11:14 am
Way to go, Andy! The Mayor has no idea of the stalwart spirit of his citizens!
I’m completely out of ideas!
July 3rd, 2009 at 11:19 am
Ryan Fucking O’Neill!
Yes??
He asked hopefully.
July 3rd, 2009 at 12:34 pm
dmorris: Ryan ONeill? I think you’ve got it!!! Love Story! Ryan & Ali McGraw…so much in love that their heads were spinning.
I tip my hat, sir!
July 3rd, 2009 at 12:51 pm
Thanks,Andy, but we don’t know if that’s right,yet.
The cruel and sadistic potentate obviously intends to make us suffer as long as possible!
And, horrific thought, what if the S.O.B. has actually posted an early picture of Ali McGraw, who is indistinguishable from Ryan O’Neal!
Revolution lurks in the wings at Mitchieville!
July 3rd, 2009 at 12:57 pm
Fine, fine, I’ll tell you, settle down!
It’s jkljlkj… oh man, keyboard problems, it’s jklejgkjg, what’s going on? My keyboard won’t let me type the name lkjlkjrkjrg.
Wow, this sucks!
July 3rd, 2009 at 2:00 pm
Sadist!Heheheheheheheh!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh!
That’s it, you’ve done it Mayor! DMorris’ mind has finally snapped.
Signed,
His care Nurse
July 3rd, 2009 at 2:47 pm
I don’t care.
Ronald Reagan?
July 3rd, 2009 at 3:07 pm
Andy, it DOES kinda look like RR. I am assuming the photo, with it’s “Leave it To Beaver” look, was taken in the late 40’s or early 50’s.
Maybe I’m as wrong about that as I was about Carson!
William Devane?
July 3rd, 2009 at 3:49 pm
dmorris, I REALLY DON’T CARE…but you are probably right. Reagan probably didn’t sport such a nice button-up shirt in Elementary School back in his day.
Maybe Robert Mitchum…maybe Jeff Chandler…maybe Dom Deluise.
My last (and final) guess is Arnold Schwarzenneger.
That’s all I’ve got. If it is Glenn Ford, or Al Gore, I will truly tinkle BBs. But I am DONE!
The Mayor probably doesn’t even know who it is, and is just messing with us. Hey! Maybe it’s The Mayor himself…and he’s just messing with us.
July 3rd, 2009 at 4:19 pm
For answer, please refer to the first comment from Go_Fish.
Ha ha freaking ha!
July 3rd, 2009 at 5:07 pm
Sigh…
Yeah…Ha Ha freaking Ha…
Crud…
July 3rd, 2009 at 5:11 pm
O.F.’s S’s.! The very FIRST one!
Harrison Ford!?
Sadist!Maniac!
Well done,Mayor.
(Bastard);-)
July 6th, 2009 at 10:31 am
Wow. I was guessing too.
An educated guess though. I had the pleasure of meeting Ben Ford while in Kalifornia a couple years ago. His resturant, Ford’s Filling Station, rocks! He looks like a young version of his dad.
