Title: Guess the mystery guest
Post by: mweed on July 20, 2009, 07:52:49 AM
Here's a picture of Bob posing with some guy.  Can anyone guess who he is?  And this should be a real test for the bulk of the forum members here . . .


And, yes, he is a celebrity . . .

Uh, is it you?

You're enough of a celebrity, if you ask me!

Otherwise, your boss? :P I'd be LMAO-ing if that's the right answer.

Nope.  And, nope.  We're talking someone known by millions and millions of screaming fans who PAID MONEY to see him . . .As opposed to me who is known by dozens and dozens of yawning fans who I PAY to see me. ;) ;D


But that is me in the striped shirt . . .

Dr Phil?  (http://coolaggregator.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/drphil1.jpg)

I don't think so.

Scatman John . . .

I'll give you a little hint.  The 70's were the heydays of his fame.

(http://bobthepleo.com/pleo/forums/70s.jpg)

He's lost a little hair since then . . .

My dad! It looks JUST like my dad did once upon a time! XD

(He's lost a little hair now, too.)

Richard Roundtree . . .

(http://www.gbmnews.com/News_Photos/013008/roundtree_071219_ms.jpg)

I'm not sure he had that much hair even back then . . .   So, that would be a Nope.  But that was a very good guess!  Not sure how many of our forum members would know who starred in the movie Shaft . . .

Now, I don't think I've ever met Allo's dad . . .    How famous is he?  And I guess you favor your mom in appearance . . .  ;)

Hint #2

He currently makes a living as a motivational speaker, but was never a TV or movie star.

Not me. I haven't a clue who that is. ???  but don't we have to do the mystery guest theme song? (Its from an episode of Garfield and Friends. ;) episode number 50. Orson's Farm Part. volume 3 if your looking for that on DVD. ;))


                  Can you guess the mystery guest?  Take a shot and give it your best!  If you need help i'll give you a clue: he's not a singing raisin and he's not painted blue.  If you're at home and you've got the gall, Pick up your telephone and give us a call!  Use your brain.  But Wait!  That's not fair, I forgot that there's nothing there! hahahaha. ;)    

Don't yell at me.  That's the exact words to it from that episode.  There's a break in it, but there's a bit more song so . . .     

OK, times up!  Give me your guess!  Who do you think it is, more or less?  What's taking so long?  My hints are the best.  Can you guess our mmyysstteerryy guest?  

   and if you've seen the show you either remember or can guess it was Roy Rooster that was singing it.

I have all seven seasons.  I believe the mystery guest was Garfield (and not even Jon could guess who it was).  But, no.  That isn't Garfield posing with Bob.   So, guess again!

Gee, too bad! I wuz kinda hopin' to see some Greensploitation films. 8)

Oh, well.  I guess you could try renting Undercover Brother.  Maybe there's a role for Bob there somewhere . . .

ANd there's still this underlying fear that even when our mystery guest is revealed, people will still ask "who?"  The 70s was a loooong time ago for many here.  I would hazard to guess many here remember Gene Simmons as that obnoxious aerobics guy who does those "Sweatin' to the Oldies" exercise videos . . .

Yes, who doesn't remember "Sweatin' to the Oldies" with Gene Simmons. ;)

Or was it Richard Simmons?
I keep getting them confused! ???
Title: Re: Guess the mystery guest
Post by: grumpy on July 21, 2009, 12:19:12 PM
That's because Richard is Gene's evil twin brother!!!      But that's mweed's point.  You and I know the difference, but does the younger generation?

So . . . which of those two came from your personal collection?

Just like pairing " The Wizard of Oz" movie sans sound with Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" music, mixing the exercise video sans its sound track and replacing it with Kiss' "Alive!" gives a whole new meaning to "Sweatin' With the Oldies"! ;D

Nope.  Hint #2 was that he is NOT a TV or movie star.
Title: Re: Guess the mystery guest

OOO OOOO!!  I know!!!!

He's a person!!!
Title: Re: Guess the mystery guest
Post by: mweed on July 23, 2009, 01:35:59 PM
Well, I kinda figured nobody would know who he was.  So I'll just go ahead and tell you.  Then the question will still be do you know who he is . . .  ;)

He was #88, wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys back in the glory days of Tom Landry . . .  Drew Pearson.

We tried to get his SuperBowl ring on Bob, but couldn't. :(

I don't know much about Football or other sports, but I think you need to start thinking about calling them the Santa Clara 49ers! %)
