451.0. "Summertime Amusement" by CALLME::MR_TOPAZ () Wed Jun 07 1995 13:38

       
       Here's the game for you word people; I haven't figured out how to
       explain it, but maybe you'll catch on, and maybe you won't:
       
       
       
                       Utah Rambler


       
       The answer is Ogden Nash, because Utah Rambler is the natural
       follow-up -- Ogden Utah & Nash Rambler.
       
       OK, sports fans, here's another -- and would you believe it, I'm
       making this up as I go along:
       
       
       	               Juan Ho


       
       Did you get it?  Of course -- everyone's favorite singer, Don
       (Juan) Ho (ho)!
       
       Here's the last one for now:
       
       
                      Dimes  Kent
       

       
       Marcia Clark.

    three. Put em back in the rack pack. And all must open ring top at
