Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly TRIAD: only for serious mindbending!

Pop
Curly
Mary

Third names in famous trios?

That would be it.

Snap, Crackle,& Pop
Moe, Larry, & Curly
Peter, Paul, & Mary

You're up.

Ray Boone
Gus Bell
Sam Hairston

Major league baseball players whose sons and grandsons were also major league baseball players.

Ray Boone -> Bob Boone -> Bret Boone
Gus Bell -> Buddy Bell -> David and Mike Bell
Sam Hairston -> Jerry Hairston -> Jerry Hairston Jr.

That's correct, Matt! And the ping-pong game between me and Quis is over.

This one should be easy. There are a few parts to the answer, but nothing that isn't obvious once you know it.

Gladys Knight and the Pips
Vicki Lawrence
Brook Benton

All had hit songs with Georgia in the title?

Gladys Knight & the Pips: Midnight train to Georgia
Vicki Lawrence: The night that the lights went out in Georgia
Brook Benton: ?

(or maybe it has "night" in the title Or both "night" & "Georgia")

Correct: all had their biggest hits with songs about both 'night' and 'Georgia'. 'Midnight Train to Georgia', 'The Night That the Lights Went Out in Georgia', 'Rainy Night in Georgia'. Go ahead.

Barbara Billingsley
Ethel Merman
David Leisure

All appeared in the movie Airplane!?

That they did. You're next. For a Triad, not for appearing in Airplane!

Gully cats
Hedge toads
Queen snakes

All are wild animals that Linus Van Pelt fears?

Stealth, you are awesome!

Young Mister Van Pelt's fertile imagination also gave is the rock snake (noted for lousy aim) and the chicken-bird (do they build their nests on mountain tops?) and, of course, the Great Pumpkin!

Your go.

The Teardrop Explodes
Echo and the Bunnymen
Wah!

It's been a week now, so it's time for a hint:

The connection has to do with the three lead singers of the bands listed at the bottom of the previous page:

Okay, I guess that one was too obscure.

The respective lead singers of each band (Julian Cope, Ian McCulloch, and Pete Wylie) had all previously been together in a very short-lived band named The Crucial Three.

Anybody who has a mindbender can post next.

Kris Kross
Pointer Sisters
Van Halen

All have had hit singles called "Jump".

That's it.

Good Neighbors
The Spinners
"Bang a Gong (Get It On)"

This one, too, must be obscure. The correct answer is that they all had slightly different names in the UK. The British TV series Good Neighbors was originally The Good Life, and T. Rex's hit "Bang A Gong (Get It On)" was simply "Get It On". In the US, these names were already taken.

The venerable US soul group The Spinners became known in the UK as The Detroit Spinners for the same reason.

Next triad is up for grabs.

This one shouldn't be too bad:

Jane Marie
Felicity
Sally Joy
