  1. Peyton Randolf was not any of the Articles of Confederation presidents. The first was John Hanson. The two who signed the Declaration were Richard Henry Lee and JOHN HANCOCK. Presidents were appointed for one year terms and could not serve twice in a three-year period. There was no Vice-President, so when Hancock became too ill to carry out his responsibilities, they were jointly performed by David Ramsay and Nathaniel Gorham, chairmen of the Congress. A nice little summary can be found HERE. FREE POST George
  2. Sam Elliott Road House Ben Gazzara George
  3. No. None were presidents under our current Constitution. One last hint: one (though not the first) was a BIG signer of the Declaration. George
  4. The funny thing is that I remember Jackie Mason, years ago, telling the joke, "Why are JEWISH divorces so expensive? They're worth it!" New one soon. George
  5. Yes. I assume you got it from Ripley? George
  6. Must be. It was only a miniseries, but it was certainly a well-known TV show. George
  7. "Kunta Kinte, behold the only thing greater than yourself!" George
  8. Interesting guess, but no. teamer Charlie Dillon Edgar Pudwhacker Lt. Britton Davis Rudy Baylor Mike McDermott James Francis Ryan Tom Ripley Rannulph Junuh George
  9. No. This is a tough one, as the person is not well known. He was instrumental in getting Maryland into the Revolution, but he was not a signer of the Declaration of Independence. I'll give this another day or two. Let's say that if you name ANY of the Presidents in this era, you win. Note: these presidents were not elected by popular vote but were appointed by Congress. Two of them WERE signers of the Declaration. George

  13. Actually, the last record of this I can find was by WW, last November. And I got it right. So feel free to answer and post another. George
  14. Before our current Constitution was ratified, the United States was defined by the Articles of Confederation. Who was the first President of that government? Bonus question: The Articles were in effect from 1781 to 1789. How many men served as President, during that time? George

  16. Okay, then. The Man with Two Brains Prizzi's Honor Crimes of Passion George
  17. "I'm the type of guy who likes to roam around..." George
  18. My favorite line from "City Slickers." "You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!" George
  19. Yes it does. Lovers' Concerto. I remember the scene in "Mr. Holland's Opus" where Holland plays the Bach to show his kids the origin of the pop tune. George
  20. I didn't watch the show, so this is a guess: Game of Thrones? George
