That is all I did to discover it.

What is this "connection poser"?

Well those two questions are candidates for top awards in a certain category.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Univer...ary_Washington

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Love_Lucy

As for the third choice:

When I read of glatt's son's good news, I realized I did not know of UMW and looked it up.
It sounds like a very nice institution and one worth considering.
One possible plus is that in 2006-2007, its President was a man named William Frawley.
Now it is dropped.

Thud.

People probably just expected more, when the term "connection" was used, than that a former university president (who was fired for repeated DUIs) coincidentally had the same name as the well known actor (who died 40 years earlier) who played on I Love Lucy. That was an extremely loose association like we might find in the Word Association threads.

It's OK, even Babe Ruth struck out once in awhile.

Whatever the story says, that's a chip off a fancy polished granite counter top

(read the story) ok no it's not

Gravdigr · 01-23-2020, 02:08 PM

I've wondered if that had ever happened.

I wish that they had reported on the brains dimensions.
