    Pub Quiz category quandry

    Background: my full name is Graham Curtis Gibby, son of Anne Christie Graham, grandson of James Barrie Graham 3rd et cetera, et cetera.

    SO, I spend a fair amount of time (and money) at my 'local,' Flanagan's Pub in the French Quarter, including the pool league team, my own off-menu items from the kitchen and all the bartenders know my drinks.

    But lots of people have all that. Then there's the pub quiz tonight.

    Famous Grahams

    Dammit, just thinking about botching that last one gets me nervous.

    Wikipedia goes on for pages with Grahams. Bleh.

    Just sharing.

    As Graham is also a first name it does not necessarily mean just those who bear the surname.

    Example - Q Who wrote Our Man in Havana?

    A Graham Greene.
    [B][COLOR="Red"][SIZE="1"]Reverend Earl Trefor the Sublunary of Kesslington under Ox, Venerable Lord Trefor the Unhyphenated of Much Bottom, Sir Trefor the Corpulent of Leighton in the Bucket, Viscount Mcclef the Portable of Kirkby Overblow.

    Aside from all the geographical locations with "Graham" in them.... We mustn't forget famous Christian evangelist Billy Graham...

    Don't forget John Graham, Viscount Dundee. "Bonny Dundee" or "Bloody Claverhouse" depending on where your sympathies lie.

    I'm left with some of the more obscure Grahams:

    Graeme Garden, comedian- from The Goodies. Hardly seen outside the UK because of the total lack of PC.

    Golden Grahams- the cereal. Homer Simpson immortalized the ad jingle when his NASA spaceship was crashing.

    You should have stopped with Heather Graham.

    When given a choice, most people will choose.
