High five for the double, Step! *smack*

Ah, yes. "Uncle Bill! Uncle Bill!" screamed by Buffy or Jody every two minutes.
Oddly enough, or maybe it's coincidentally enough, I remember this one too...from just last week, actually, when my movie trivia buddy was trying to remember a weird Sean Connery role in a sci-fi movie. Obviously (it is now, anyway), he got it wrong.
Vanna White of Wheel of Fortune fame....and the title holder of the World's Record for "most frequent clapper" according to the Guinness Book of World's Records.

"Zardoz", that's the Sean Connery movie (as you probably know). I remember Katina talking about it months ago. A movie that bad sticks in the memory. I knew the Guinness folks were coming up with some pretty lame records these days. But "frequent clapper"? Ward Willoughby, America's best archer, who plays a part in the wacky proceedings of the Powell and Loy comedy, "Love Crazy". www.imdb.com/title/tt0033852/

Thanks! I'd like to say it was skill. In fact, it was dumb luck.
Feminizing that name reminds me of the movie "I Remember Mama". The youngest girl called her cat Elizabeth, until her big brother pointed out that the cat was male. Then the cat became Uncle Elizabeth. Lol!
O is for "This Old Man", the one who "played nicknack on my thumb"
