Who's the Blonde That Married What's-His-Name?: The Ultimate Tip-of-the-Tongue Test of Everything You Know You Know--But Can'tRe member Right Now Paperback – June 2, 2009

by Carol Boswell (Author), Lenore Skenazy (Author)
4.4 out of 5 stars 4 ratings
Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon meets The Book of Useless Information via Mad Libs in this fun new twist on classic trivia games.

"WHO'S THE BLONDE THAT MARRIED WHAT'S-HIS-NAME whose last name sounds like a BIRD, but then they split, and she was in that SUPER-HIP MOVIE that totally revived the career of the DANCING SCIENTOLOGIST before he played a woman in that MUSICAL by the FUNNY BALTIMORE ECCENTRIC?"

The answer's on the tip of my tongue!

Everyone's been there-groping for a name or a title and then, in desperation, using roundabout phrases and weird associations in a frantic effort to remember the ENGLISH LADY who wrote all those mysteries, like the ONE ON THE TRAIN with that BELGIAN DETECTIVE and whenever you play that BOARD GAME with the knife in the conservatory and the gun in the billiard room and that COLONEL, it feels like you're in one of her books?

These "tongue-tipper" moments affect everyone. Now they can be put to good use with this innovative pop culture game that will help trivia buffs and useless-information fans remember all the things they didn't even realize they'd forgotten.

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    Ever since her column “Why I Let My 9-Year-Old Ride the Subway Alone” created a media firestorm, Lenore has been declaring that our kids are safer and smarter than our culture gives them credit for. In response to the blowback, she started Free-Range Kids, the blog-turned-book-turned-movement that garnered her the nickname, “America’s Worst Mom.” She has lectured everywhere from Microsoft to DreamWorks to conferences and schools across the country, and even the Bulgarian Happiness Festival. You may have seen her on The Today Show, The Daily Show, Dr. Phil, or her own reality show, World’s Worst Mom.

    Lenore is co-founder and president of Let Grow, a nonprofit promoting childhood independence. Before all this, she was a reporter and columnist at The New York Daily News and New York Sun. Her other books include, “The Dysfunctional Family Christmas Songbook,” and “Has the World Gone Skenazy?” She also used to write for Mad Magazine, and Cracked. (Note: She did not “write for crack.”)

    Lenore lives in New York City with her husband and beloved computer. Her sons are gainfully employed.

    I couldn't put this book down. (Possibly because I knew many of the answers.) Crossword puzzles frustrate me. But this book empowered me. Finally, all the trivia floating through my head can be put to good use !!

    This is truly an interesting book, but lacks a 'common understanding of meanings' sometimes; what I mean is, you REALLY need to be completely in-touch with all Hollywood, entertainment everything (I myself am pretty well-rounded, and I still found some frustration!)...All in all, if you have some friends over, some wine and a nice atmosphere, this is a decent book to have!
