Weekly Puzzle #14 never appeared because I forgot about it with the NCAA tournament going on.

Well, I know that picture three includes 2/4 of the Tom Tom Club. Also, the dudes in picture 4, whoever they are (Boston?) probably had wilder parties than the cerebral former art students in picture three. Is this sort of piecemeal, clueless observing allowed, or are comments to be reserved to full guesses?

I have more than a feeling that you're on the wrong track.

Reed Johnson heads for Chicago.

#2 is Ray "You doesn't have to call me" Johnson
#3 is the Talking Heads.

You are correct, but you need to explain #4.

You mean, explain the FORESTAR logo? Is it that it's NYSE designation is "for"? Or did you mean, explain the last picture, which is the band, Chicago?

2 More than a feeling? Are you confusing Chicago with Boston? I know I always get those Sox mixed up...

Man, Kath had put on some pounds. He was a guitar genius.

Well, the first picture is of a reed, so we have "Reed Johnson heads for Chicago."

4 I figured it was the "for" in Forestar.

7 Yeah, that's the second time in recent weeks that I've made a snippy comment without reading carefully. Way to make yourself look like a moron, JL.

4 And if you meant the last photo, I saw Peter Cetera there on the left and knew that the band was Chicago.

Bob, I'm not sure where else to put this, but this is from the 1981 SI article on Bill James (and is actually an excerpt from one the 1979 Abstract):

"The argument that what Guidry did is more unusual than what Rice did is specious.... It's an award for the most valuable performance, not the most unusual. The most unusual performance was turned in by Bob Stinson of Seattle, who reached base six times on catcher's interference."

Rice led the league in home runs and triples in the same year. It doesn't get much more unusual than that.
