I fear that no one would dare try to come up with another "Drawing Conclusions" set-I for one know that I wouldn't want to be compared unfavorably with T McAy, and also know that anything I did in imitation of you would necessarily compare unfavorably.
I did come up with Vincent Price (though we were more confident about Goldblum). Then again, we did screw up the dotted-eighth (rather stupidly giving the value for a dotted quarter) and of course had no idea who Pacman Jones was. At least we recognized everything correctly, other than the knight, which was probably my fault since I'd drawn the plume.
Another really nice aspect of this game is that, while some of the trivia might have favored trivia experts, I generally felt that all three of us could contribute at all points. I mean, obviously in the drawing; but also it was anyone's guess which one of us would realize that we were looking at a fly, or Orion, or the like. That was one of the things that made the game great. (Other things were, of course, the insane level of cleverness; and the boost of confidence in learning that I could draw, or at least draw really simple shapes well enough for them to be recognizable as a baseball diamond or the letter H or what have you.)
I am left idly wondering what other triples one might come up with. Food for thought, and possibly self-contained handout material if I can come up with anything.
