	Really cool quiz! :)

	JujBres:	May 11th, 2010 at 04:26 GMT		42 points
	Am I the only one who drinks Hannah flavored coffee?

	Pat Summitt not Summit

	jackmana:	May 11th, 2010 at 04:47 GMT		56 points
	And so I thought to myself, "Who the hell is Lou Denver?"

	Never heard of a few of these people, but thanks to these clues, now I have!

	Am I the only one who tried "Roo" for Baby kangaroo?

	westknife:	May 11th, 2010 at 05:19 GMT		13 points
	"Joe" doesn't mean "cup of coffee," it just means "coffee."

	FancyMonocle:	May 11th, 2010 at 05:33 GMT		6 points
	Great quiz.

	NightOwl:	May 11th, 2010 at 05:52 GMT		4 points
	Good fun, though I do argue with the definition of a ledger as "journal entries." ("Financial entries" would be more accurate) Liked the mix of people from various time periods--though I too got stuck trying to figure out who Lou Denver was! Very clever.

	apparently there's no roofie mantle....

	It's kind of funny that you're asking for the nickname of a nickname.

	I've never heard it called anything but a "Heath Bar," but a quick Google search showed it's just "Heath" with various sub-titles which always include the word "bar." Nice job, like the quiz.

	Really clever quiz that made me think! Love it!

	For me as a non-native English speaker It looks strange how some common names are given meanings(or the other way around), and most are new to me(Mickey, Jimmy, Brad, Joe). In German the only examples that come to my mind are 'Dietrich' which is the 'lock pick' and 'Horst' which is the 'aerie'.

	I know someone always says it but I don't think too many people have heard of Red Buttons, Pat Summit and Mickey Mantle outside of the US. Flame away.

	janiac:	May 11th, 2010 at 10:23 GMT		6 points
	great quiz love the fact that you went back in history and covered so many areas keep up the great work!!!

	rudi:	May 11th, 2010 at 10:56 GMT		14 points
	I got them all, but have never heard of Pat Summit (just typed it out of desperation). Also tried "Chum Cactus" for "pal prickly Christmas plant" at first.

	Pat Summitt has two t's, unfortunately. I do know who she is, though! Is "rock" slang for the ring or just the diamond? And "Berry" as a suffix for Marion doesn't really work.

	A_Trep:	May 11th, 2010 at 12:02 GMT		1 point
	@tjvhammer: Pat Summitt is a women's college basketball coach in Tennessee... I only know her because Geno Auriemma, the coach at my school (Connecticut) is pretty much her arch-rival. Mickey Mantle is a hall of fame Yankee outfielder who played in the 1960's. I have no idea who Red Buttons is but somehow got the answers from the clues.

	CyberDog:	May 11th, 2010 at 12:44 GMT		5 points
	Actually, berry does work as a suffix for Marion. The Marionberry is a type of blackberry, not to be confused with Marion Barry, the former Mayor of Washington DC. But, I had no idea who Pat Summit was, with one t or two. I knew who the rest were though

	rockgolf:	May 11th, 2010 at 13:07 GMT		10 points
	@A_Trep: Red Buttons was an Oscar-winner for supporting role in Sayonara, and later became better known as a stand-up comic. @GreenArmyDan: Agreed. I'm pretty sure Lady Gaga is a fictional character.

	chikka2:	May 11th, 2010 at 13:16 GMT		5 points
	brilliant clues. Would kinda like to meet Lou Denver and Buddy Pine someday

	@reesmane: At first I thought you had a point, nd was going to defend you. The guy you're thinking of was champion of the world (i.e. not US centric). HOWEVER, you have to apply the rule of crossword puzzles where clues are apples to apples. That is to say, if the clue ends in s, so should the answer. If the clue alludes to a last name, so should the answer.

	I second the elucidation of Aston - maybe with (car). I spent ages trying to think of anyone called Villa something! And given how few of these people I'd actually heard of - and how crazy some of these names are(!), I thought an answer with that was not beyond the realms of possibility... =)

	fabfivemayce:	May 11th, 2010 at 13:31 GMT		2 points
	Excellent Quiz!! More please! I was wondering who "Joe Washington" was..... ad hoping for a Fir tree called "Cameron"

	@chikka2, funny you mention Buddy Pine. That's the name of Syndrome in The Incredibles.

	Penny:	May 11th, 2010 at 14:24 GMT		2 points
	Kept trying to think of something other than Zombie, because obviously there wouldn't be anyone with the name Rob Zombie! Oh. Well, you learn something every day playing Sporcle!

	Charles:	May 11th, 2010 at 14:29 GMT		5 points
	Great fun, well done! Got a couple from the clues who I'd no idea who they were. Also, kept thinking "spike" for "Term for a drug in someone's drink" clue!

	barnztormre:	May 11th, 2010 at 15:06 GMT		14 points
	Okay, invoice = "Bill". Now, Ishtar... "Bill Bomb"? "Bill Flop"? "Bill Turkey"?

	Vlad:	May 11th, 2010 at 15:33 GMT		0 points
	I would really like to meet Villa Short and Roofie Core?

	Would someone please explain to the dumb English girl why "Joe" has anything to do with "cup of coffee"? I'm stumped...
