Kevin Slater Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 17. Mickey and Minnie Mouse ?? Definitely. Love her bow. 18. Bugs Bunny ? I'd say so. Peter Griffin, Marge Simpson, and Fred Flintstone were the key to breaking it for me. Curious which characters helped others break it. @Kevin Slater 1 and 20 for me. So we still need 4 and 16!

Guest Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 Jean-Pierre Talbot (French: [talbo]; born 12 August 1943) is a Belgian actor, best known for his lead role of Tintin in the movies Tintin and the Golden Fleece and Tintin and the Blue Oranges. A teacher by profession, Talbot was first noted for his physical resemblance to that of Tintin while a sports instructor on a beach in Ostend. He was introduced to Hergé and the two became friends immediately. Talbot played the comic book character Tintin in the two Tintin live action films, Tintin and the Golden Fleece (Tintin et le mystère de la Toison d'or) (directed by Jean-Jacques Vierne in 1960) and Tintin and the Blue Oranges (Tintin et les Oranges Bleues) (directed by Philip Condroyer in 1964). In 1967, a third movie was scheduled but then cancelled. Talbot did not have other movie roles and pursued a career in teaching. He was headmaster of the King Baudouin Free School before retiring. He currently resides in Spa, Belgium. Jean-Pierre Talbot enjoys tennis, skiing and canicross. He is married and has one daughter and 3 grandchildren. (Wikipedia entry) What he looks like today:

rvwnsd Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 (edited) Wagnerian no doubt. Sadly, the Lyric's 2020 production of the Ring cycle has been cancelled. However, if you are a good boy, keep a six-foot distance from others, and don't try to buy more than two cartons of milk, the spirit of Ardis Krainik will populate your dreams and sing the entire thing for you.

Hey. That sure beats the nightmare of Jimmie Levine waiving his arms at that G-D flapping machine for 19+ hours! I'm not sure who Jimmie Levine was or why he was flapping his arms, but strangely enough, considering I'm not into the opera world at all, an acquaintance of mine from my youth just retired, with the 2018-2019 season being his last, from the Chicago Lyric Opéra after being in their chorus for 26 seasons. When I knew him, he was a counter tenor. I don't know if as he grew older he did more tenor parts or not. Gman

He was fired fairly recently for sexual behavior that was beyond inappropriate.

Guest Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 **** SPOILER ALERT ***** 17. Mickey and Minnie Mouse ?? [/uSER] Yes, that would certainly fit, although Minnie wore a number of different costumes. I'm impressed you figured those all out yourself. You must be quite the cartoon fan! Should we challenge ourselves to figure out #16?

It’s a 2 story tall contraption spanning the entire stage with 20? arms that swing up and down (sometimes noisily). During the course of the 4 Ring Cycle operas they become mountains or waves or flying horses or just a screen to project scenery on. It’s an idea of Robert LaPage of Cirque du Soleil fame. It was very expensive idea (US$20+ million) that didn’t quite work. https://images.app.goo.gl/bcSw8QYD1QVZMM2M9

My place is in an incredible mess at the moment. I've actually thought I need to clean it up in case I should get infected and have to go to the hospital. I'd hate someone having to deal with it if #1 I had to be hospitalized or #2 The worst outcome happens. Gman
