Frank Underwood - Thanks for the video of Bill Walton. So he majored in biology on sorority row, huh? He's definitely one of a kind! Also, thanks for the info on Yappi being a NEO-based site. Over the years, some of the threads have been monopolized by posters from a certain area. That, of course, is to be expected.

Zunardo - You are correct on #16. It was
Jean Knight who recorded "Mr. Big Shot".
JB - You seem to know Frank Underwood, so see what you can do to find his wife, Claire. I think Robin Wright would be welcomed on this thread (as least by
Bevo).
