I'm not in a huff

Anyway, it's your question UP. And if it's not a belter, you'll be on the receiving end of a severe tongue-lashing.

i'm very pleased to have remembered that.

okay i've been reading my book.

linguistically, what connects jack ruby and bob marley?

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Fri Sep 01, 2006 1:52 pm

I'll go for the obvious and say that both their names are 1 syllable, 2 syllables... but apart from that, I don't know...

actually that was worded particularly badly for which apologies.

jack ruby was an assassin, bob marley a frequent user of marijuana but what is the linguistic connection?

Some obscure rhyming slang ?

One shot the sheriff and the other shot LH Oswald.

sod that, the garbled answer is the the word assassin derives from the same root as haschisch.

but i've just read something much better.

VRØVLE is the danish word for hooey but what item of clothing do danes call COWBOYBUKSER?

Damn. Actually knew the answer to that last question thanks to extensive research in the field.

As for your question, 10 gallon hat?

Jeans too obvious ?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Fri Sep 01, 2006 2:12 pm

nope but you are right that the first six letters are the clue.

edit: Harry got in while my nimble fingers were still typing.
jeans is correct.

back to reading for the next Q.

Bloody hell, was going to say chaps.

Local question. Who is Arthur Wellesey better known as ? He had a famous quadraped also.

i have got this wrong on SWP before.

is it the scarlet pimpernel?

I've heard the name... a famous quadruped, that would be a horse, surely?

I'm going to guess the Lone Ranger.

Don Quixote?

My Blackadder III knowledge helps once again! The Duke of Wellington, I believe... No idea who or what the quadraped is though!

Correct. His famous horse was Copenhagen at the Battle Of Waterloo.
