[50 BMG]

[Pipelion]

Stepan,

Sorry, but back in Aspen I did know guys that grew them, in big jars. They did it for purly scientific reasons and never ingested them, honest. :biggrin PS Careful, don't slander the Native Americans, they like mushrooms.


Centerpunch,

Wow you are good see, I mean really good kid, but as long as I'm in town, you're second best, see.(Edward G. Robinson type answer to Steve McQueen in the 'Cinncinati Kid').

Seriously, you have found a factual and funny answer, as good as I'd expect. But who would want to hear, "hey, real cool car,,, and man is that thing ever,,,"Micky Mouse"?

Paul, you are funny :willy :rofl , My answer isn't as funny as yours. Well done!

People,

I can't tell yet. Boys in Hawaii are just paddling in from the AM surf.

...............But here's a hint. A little more Hollywood than .............Centerpunch's answer and dead on appropriate.

Until tonight,

Allan

July 17 events in history

I could come up w/a few interesting ideas from these events... hmmm...

www.brainyhistory.com/days/july_17

 

[Piccola]

7/17/1935 "Sticks Nix Hick Pix" - probably not the best choice for a GT name, but I couldn't resist. :biggrin try saying that 10 times fast!

 

[Pipelion]

Piccola,

Answer/guess number 1 right on. but connection not on list!!!10 points for great guess. Charlie Chan say, "most honorable attempt".

What the hell is stix nicks and pics???????? That's even worse than "Mickey Mouse GT", sorry 10 point deduction. :biggrin

Allan

Piccola,

Allan

Allen, you said it had to do w/Hollywood. "Sticks Nix Hick Pix", found in Variety newspaper on July 17, was voted the most famous headline. (Variety is a big shobiz "Hollywood type" newspaper, though there was obviously no connection to the Ford GT...) Deduct 10 points if you like, but I still thought it was a funny name :rofl

[K-P Garage]

I'd like to buy a vowel

Anything to do with Leno?

 

[Pipelion]

Piccola,

I'm well aware of 'Variety', but you got me on the "Sticks" deal. I should have been more intune, sorry.

Allan

10 points rerewarded to Piccola. 1 point deduction for mispelling "Allen" with an e. :biggrin

Piccola has 9 points.

PS As Allan misspelled misspelling. 1 point deduction reversed.

Piccola has 10 points.

K-P Close but no.

White Petunia, The date is the point of reference, straight up, no hidden meanings.

[K-P Garage]

Piccola just handed me this

If this is correct, I will steal the credit, if not, then it is because piccola just handed me this: "July 17,2002--Salenn, Inc is immensly pleased and proud to have benn selected by Ford as one of the key suppliers to the re-creation of one of the great cars of all time, the production version of the GT40 concept vehicle.............. :confused

 

[Pipelion]

White Petuna,

100 points for showing how ill prepaired the question was. Unless they were building GTs on Sunday, 2005. But I did say they would be "rare".

Allan

 

[Pipelion]

Sorry K-P,

Allan

OK I'm an IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


HUGH WON, at 1:37 PM today.

He is hereby awarded 175,000 forum points. :banana :banana :cheers

[Pipelion]

The answer is a;




.............. Harrison Ford GT ................................





Now what does July 17, have to do with Harrison Ford? How did Hugh win, dispite my ignorance? Hugh has a nose for the Ford GT.

I ment to and thought I posted July 13, not July 17. July 13 is Harrison's birthday.

Long ago I thought calling a Ford a 'Harrison Ford', would be a funny model designation. A Harrison Ford GT, even better, especially built on his birthday.

When Hugh posted the "Widowmaker", I assumed he ment
Harrison Ford and PMed him he'd won. I thought he was being subtle and wanted to see who would get 2nd place.

So I guess any Ford GT built on July 17 could be called the,
Widowmaker. I wouldn't take it to Russia though. And I guess it's a little late for what do you call a Ford GT built on July 13, 2005 or 2006.

So I'm MIcky MOuse, :slap, sorry,


Allan
