I got three of them immediately and I'm 95% sure of a fourth. Five of them are people that I feel I should know, but I can't place them. The other three -- not even a distant bell is ringing.

No cookie for me this time.

Steph said...

Care to share your guesses?

Steph said...

You can rot13 them if you like.

Blog Queen said...

I see George Clooney, Patrick Swayze and Tom Hanks....the rest...I have NO idea...lol

Steph said...

So far, so good!

JPDeni said...

Those were my three absolutes, too. The 95% sure one is Xrnah Errirf (via rot13), which I have since verified. Still not able to access any connection to the five that I feel I should know.

Steph said...

Xrnah Errirf is correct!

Steph said...

Here are the correctly guessed people so far:

2. George CLooney
4. Kenau Reeves
8. Patrick Swayze
12. Tom Hanks

Crap, I've been staring at the damn things for 10 minutes now - I got 2, 8 & 12 right off the bat. I KNOW that I know #10, but it won't come to me. Back to the staring. :)

Steph said...

HINTS:

1. Verbal energy in expressing questionable views.
2. Guessed (George Clooney)
3. Married five times.
4. Guessed (Keanu Reeves)
5. Sometimes it just goes wrong.
6. A winner whether at sea or in the air.
7. And sometimes it goes REALLY wrong.
8. Guessed (Patrick Swayze)
9. Once in the soup always in the soup
10. Enigmatic method
11. Attention RW.
12. Guessed (Tom Hanks)

So far, JP Deni and Blog Queen are 3 for 3.

Steph said...

Oops. JP Deni guess Keanu Reeves, so she's ahead by 1.

B.E. Earl said...

1 - Looks a little like Conan O'Brian
7 - Is that Marylyn Manson?
11 - Tom Cruise?

B.E. Earl said...

Revising my guesses:

1. Eminem
3. Billy Bob Thornton
5. Kurt Cobain
7. Marilyn Manson
11. Tom Cruise

10 is killing me. I've seen that photo before. I know it.

B.E. Earl said...

And 6 could be Leo DiCaprio. Maybe.

OK, I'm done.

JPDeni said...

1, 5, and 7 are the three that there's no trace of recognition at all for me. If b. e. earl is right about them, that would make sense, because I don't know what any of those people look like as adults. I know their names, but not their faces.

Joe said...

Coming late to this, but I knew most of the easy ones. I think #1 looks like Chris Matthews; I think #3 could conceivably be Larry King and I think, based solely on the clue, that #9 might be Greg Kinnear. #10 has me utterly stumped.

JPDeni said...

I have a wild guess for #10. K. D. Lang. I did some searching and wasn't able to confirm it, but that's who it looks like to me.

Steph said...

Nope and nope. One hint: these are all male.

B.E. Earl said...

Did you see I guessed Eminem back there for #1? Marshall Mathers is his real name.

Steph said...

Ah! My mistook!

B.E. Earl said...

3 - Shatner?
9 - Travolta?
10 - DeNiro?

Kay Dennison said...

Is #9 John Travolta?

Do I get a cookie?

JPDeni said...

I'm guessing Justin Timberlake for #9 (#9 #9 #9), just based on the most recent clue.

Ville said...

Dave Thomas (The Wendys guy)3
Joey Fatone 9
Robert Dinero 10

JPDeni said...

Via rot13:

#9 is Evpxl Znegva

#3 is Wrna Pynhqr ina Qnzzr

But I don't get a cookie because I cheated.
