Wow...
So far, I kind of stink at this. I only got one right and didn't fool anybody with my own lie. Rafael Sabatini is a cool name, but not my own. He was an early 20th Century novelist, writing swashbucklers like "Scaramouche" and "Captain Blood."
When I was a DJ at a country music station several years ago, it was my pleasure to interview a singer and cowboy poet named Red Steagall. Hitwise, Red was at his most popular nationwide in the late 1970's and on his tours he had a little up and coming girl singer as his opening act. Her name was Reba Mcentire. After she set country music on fire for several years in the 80's, she branched out into acting, making her big screen debut in a sci-fi flick called "Tremors" which starred....drum roll, please...Kevin Bacon!
And when I lived in Midland, Texas in the 1980's, some friends and I attended a stage show called the Summer Mummers. It's a traditional event in that city, a wild spoof of old-timey melodramas and variety acts. You sit at tables and drink and eat popcorn (which you can also throw at the Villain whenever he appears on stage) and have a high old time. Bush and his party were at the table next to us and my friends, who worked in the oil and gas industry, knew him and introduced me. He was still several years away from running for governor. We didn't really talk or pal around, but as the evening wore on I'm reasonably sure both tables threw popcorn at each other and exchanged occasional comments and ribaldry. I exaggerated a bit in my original post: I don't know for a fact that W. got drunk that night. I sure as hell did and so did practically everyone else. (I have a hazy recollection of writing down my phone number and slipping it to one of the ladies at Bush's table. I cringe now to think I might have actually hit on Laura.)
More astute guesses now...
