Lol... here in America we have a local radio program called the "Dave, Shelly And Chainsaw show." The answers posted here reminds me of one of the players there.

For instance, one of the players thinks that Lon Chaney is the Vice President of the US.

BTW you just accepted my challenge on the "Battle of the Blogs" on BlogExplosion. I have a feeling you'll win. Very nice blog indeed.

Lon Chaney - brilliant !!!!!!! It sums him up nicely

Thank you very much for leaving message - i never hold out hopes of winning battles (what with anything to do with France in the title, but it's all for fun anyway)

I offer you a firm hand shake, a tip of the head and a wink from accross the ocean

Take good care of yourself Reverend Loy
