Well...Jim Wells actually did bite, but he GoobleCheated, and he was man enough to admit it, so he did not collect the cash prize I offered.
For 50 blog points...
Tell me who these two guys are (Jim, I added to the first one you GoobleCheated on), and their lasting legacies.
1) Issur Danielovitch (You don't really need to go in to his lasting legacy, seein' as he ain't dead. Yet.)
b) Amos Muzyed Yakhoob Kairouz
And NO! They are not old commies, or current detainees at GTMO.

Who The Heck I'm Iz?
.
Wow! It has been since March 2, 2011 since I posted a "Who The Heck I'm Iz?" deal.
So, I know y'all are bound to be parched for a chance to show just how knowledgeable of obscure things you are. In our last edition of this, the guy was Marjoe Gortner. Only Big Bad Jim even kinda halfway knew the guy. Hopefully y'all will do mo' better this time, because this guy is not as obscure. As far as I know he was never a Child Evangelist, either.
Actually, I started to do this post last night, but I got disrupted by a very troubling story out of Thibodeaux, Louisiana, which Big Bald Jim had posted on The Facebook®. So, I just quit and went on to bed. But, I woke up, and figured I'd go ahead on and do it now. You're welcome.
So, The Mrs. was looking at a film on The Netflix® last night. And, it was a pretty good film, too. It was somewhat hard to follow because about half the time they were talking Spanish, and the other half they were talking English. And, there were no sub-titles, neither. Fortunately, I am half-way fluent in Spanish due to the fact that I live in the 'hood surrounded by a bunch of Wetback neighbors...and I had a small manufacturing plant in TJ a few years back, and was forced to learn the native tongue.
So, I could follow the film (I think it was filmed in 1994, or '95...not sure) pretty good. Anyway, it was about these Irish nannies, and a Spanish revolution deal, and an Irish chick (who was hot btw) that fell in love with this Spaniard (who was married btw, but didn't seem to find anything wrong with having more than one woman on a string). And, I mean, I was focusing in hard on the dialogue so as to be able to really enjoy the film.
Then I saw this other guy in the film (not the cheatin' Spaniard...another guy). And I says to myself, "I know that guy! I know him. Who is that guy? Who is that guy? Dangit!!!!! Who is that guy?" Then it started to dawn upon me.
He was that guy that I saw in that film WAY back in the 60's when I was a kid (1967 to be exact). He is that guy that came to help out that guy that sang "MacArthur Park," and eventually ended up banging his wife. But, I was a little confused. I mean, I thought he was a Frenchman in that film from the 60's, come to help out the Brits...so I figured I was wrong, because here he is now as a Spaniard in the mid-90's!
So, I studied on it in my head...pondered all I could remember...did a quick GoobleSearch®, and discovered that I was right. It was the same guy...separated by about 30 years. But my GoobleSearch® turned up an interesting something. He ain't a Frenchman. Nor, is he a Spaniard. Nope. He's an I-talian!
And, I'll tell y'all, the old boy has held up well, too.
He will be 70 years old this coming November. This picture was taken in August of 2008, so I guess he was about 66.
Okay...who is this guy?

Mayo Clinic Test...
.
Our buddy, Paul The Fireguy sends this along.
See if you can solve this one. Facial expressions are an important part of the respected Mayo Clinic Psychometric Test.
In the following pictures you see women with a range of facial expressions. Study the expressions, and try to imagine what single act each is experiencing. Then scroll down to see the answer.

They are all about to sneeze!

Okay...FOR ALL Y'ALL AMERICAN HISTORY BUFFS!!!
Quick...
Who was Garret Hobart?
I will give you a couple of clues, but if you Gooblecheat, I will know.
1) He lived from 1844 to 1899.
2) He was from New Jersey (get a rope).
That's all. I actually thought he might be the guy that started the Hobart Appliance deal, which somehow got merged with KitchenAid in the way back. Heck, he might have been...or at least some kin. But that ain't what I'm looking for.
I'm just doing this to make a point. You've got no idea who the guy is, and you know you don't. But at one time, the future of the Republic may have hanged in the balance because of this guy...this guy that you have no idea who he is now. Heck, I guess that's another clue. We'll call that one a freebie.

Just to relieve the suspense...
This morning I posed a quick quiz trivia question. Because so many hundreds of you two of you participated, I figured I'd better relieve all the suspense I have kept y'all in all day.
Question #1: "stewardesses" Which is the feminine plural of steward (or some such thing as that...not really sure).
Bonus question: "lollipop." Really, "lollipop." I figured it would have been something longer.
And, just a note to one of our beloved participants..."secretary" has a "y" at the end. I will let you off the hook because I know for a fact that you only type with your left hand. But, most folks use the right hand to strike the "y" key.
Just sayin'...
