Wiffle ball Roller Derby Dodgeball Jousting Jousting of course!! 7 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: JOUSTING Answer: Maryland became the first state to adopt an official sport, naming jousting as its official sport in 1962. Jousting competitions are non-contact “ring tournaments” where competitors on horseback with lance in hand try to spear hanging rings of various sizes while quickly riding by three arches. According to the Maryland State Archives website, “jousting tournaments have been held in Maryland since early colonial times but became increasingly popular after the Civil War.” To this day, only a handful of U.S. states have chosen to name official state sports, and fewer still have chosen something as esoteric as jousting.

Spalding Nike Wilson Rawlings Wilson I believe Answer: The official football of the National Football League, is made by Wilson Sporting Goods. Since 1941 every point scored in the NFL has been with a Wilson football. The official football is called “The Duke”, named after Wellington Mara, the beloved New York Giants owner who started as a ballboy with the team in 1925. Back when Mara was a young boy taking in the game from the sidelines, the Giants players dubbed him "The Duke" and years later, the NFL game ball took on this nickname too. According to a history of “The Duke” by Wilson, the NFL first used the ball in 1941.

Miami Vice Kojak CHiPs Starsky & Hutch Starsky & Hutch 19 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: STARSKY & HUTCH Answer: The streetwise informant “Huggy Bear” is a character from the 1970s TV series Starsky & Hutch. In a 1998 interview, Antonio Fargas, the actor who portrayed “Huggy Bear” said: "At the time, it was considered hip to have one or two black actors on your series, and I was lucky enough to be one of those." Huggy's notorious "hip" and "urban" way of speaking has made him a symbol of badly-written black characters of the time. At the same time, many people appreciate Huggy for being a sympathetic and fairly major black character at a time when these were few and far between on television.

Eggs Benedict Sandwich Chicken à la King Caesar Salad How about "Sandwich" PHKRAUSE tha answer is SANDWICH dgrimm60 Answer: John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, was a British statesman who succeeded his grandfather as the Earl of Sandwich in 1729, at the age of ten. He is best known for the claim that he was the inventor of the sandwich. A very conversant gambler, Lord Sandwich did not take the time to have a meal during his long hours playing at the card table. Consequently, he would ask his servants to bring him slices of meat between two slices of bread; a habit well known among his gambling friends. Because John Montagu was the Earl of Sandwich others began to order "the same as Sandwich!" – and the "sandwich” was born.

The film tells of a huge, ape-like creature dubbed Kong who perishes in an attempt to possess a beautiful young woman. In the film, an American film crew captures Kong and takes him to New York City to be exhibited as the "Eighth Wonder of the World". Kong escapes and climbs the Empire State Building with hostage Ann Darrow (Fay Wray). At its top, he is attacked by four airplanes. Kong destroys one, but finally succumbs to their gunfire. He ensures Ann's safety before falling to his death. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2

Wells Fargo Allstate Goldman Sachs Prudential Financial Prudential 5 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: PRUDENTIAL Answer: Prudential Financial uses the Rock of Gibraltar as its logo. The use of Prudential's symbol, the Rock of Gibraltar, began after an advertising agent passed Laurel Hill, a volcanic neck, in Secaucus, New Jersey, on a train in the 1890s. The related slogans "Get a Piece of the Rock" and "Strength of Gibraltar" are also still quite widely associated with Prudential, though current advertising uses neither of these. Through the years, the symbol went through various versions, but in 1989, a simplified pictogram symbol of the Rock of Gibraltar was adopted. It has been used ever since.

Actor Robert Reed played quintessential family man Mike Brady in the popular sitcom. Michael Paul Brady, better known as Mike, was the father/widower of the Brady Family. Mike was one of the staff architects with the firm he worked at; the name was never mentioned in the series, and Mr. Ed Phillips was his boss.

It stars Bill Murray as Phil Connors, a TV weatherman who, during an assignment covering the annual Groundhog Day event, is caught in a time loop, repeating the same day repeatedly. The film was shot in Woodstock, Illinois, because Punxsutawney "didn't have a town center that looked good on camera", according to Ramis. Punxsutawney officials, miffed that their town had been passed over, refused to allow the real Punxsutawney Phil to appear in the movie.
