Trivia For Our Inner Dummy

[Howard Brown]

I'll p.m. you the answer...and let someone else answer it if they want.

Sorry, I was out last night in a Victorian mental asylum, make of that what you will, or ask me for an explanation, I dont mind! I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it!

Thats why I havent yet had chance to answer/guess at any of these lovely questions, tho I have enjoyed reading Sam's/Archy's and How's cheerful quiz banter...

[Ultra Violet]

Very good...very good.

Now get your lazy toches in gear and get Skype.

Here's another one...

One which victim was a handbill with the name "Frank Cater" found ?

Catherine Eddowes

Sorry, I was out last night in a Victorian mental asylum,

Glad they let you out; it's clear you are nutty but harmless.

SKYPE

Archy:
But...you don't have Skype yet...so why even ask...you lazy woman.

I told you last week that I DO have Skype, you ding-dong!

It's a free download & so technically simple that even I could do it. I borrowed a Logitech headset from my neighbors; it works fine, but I'll buy a better headset when i know what kind I want & what will fit me.

I'm trying to talk Currerbell into get one; I'm getting callouses on my dang fingers typing to her all the time!

Dear Cabesagrande*...

"but I'll buy a better headset when i know what kind I want & what will fit me."

Its a frigging headset,woman. What do you mean, "what will fit me". What are you.... a megacephalic?

Look for your daddy...Howar Brown...no "d" at the end of my first name...on Skype tomorrow night...and you better have something to say intelligent or I will hang up on you in a New York minute. I'm down on dummies and shan't waste time on badinage.


* For the inner gringo in all of you.."bighead".

[Currerbell]

I need to buy one of these headsets and hope it fits into my laptop

[Howard Brown]

Another brain surgeon........

Bell...the headset goes on your head. The thing with ears.

[Currerbell]

well I was going to say make sure it fits in my hole snuggly, but I didnt want no vegetarian making ridiculous puns at my expense...

Dear Cabesagrande*...
"but I'll buy a better headset when i know what kind I want & what will fit me."

Its a frigging headset,woman. What do you mean, "what will fit me".

Despite my ENORMOUS brain, I'm petite & have a small head & small ears & everything nowadays is sized for big fat cretins like-

other people.


"One size fits all" never fits me. Ever. I bought a stupid bluetooth thingy that's too large & falls off my ear...
I don't want a big clunky headset made for a big clunky man.

[Howard Brown]

Ladies:

As a special request... please provide me with some search terms you may have in mind for me to look up later on in the US newspaper archive I use. I haven't hit a wall yet...but want to try using ideas others may have as well as my own. Terms like " Victorian police'...or "wanton murderer"...or phrases to enter to see if I can dredge up some new newspaper articles tonight.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[Caroline Brown]

The answer is........all three....William Stephenson, Salvy and Vince...had brothers with the same first name as they did,but who died.

Make that four How - same applied to James Maybrick.

Nice start to life, eh? Give a boy an identity crisis by making him think he is merely replacing his dead brother.

Love,

Caz

Dear Howard, sor,

may I point your attention, that seems to have been focused on the Skype discussion, to the answer I provided in post #79 to your question in post #74.

Yours truly
