1. Wasn't Buzz Sawyer in that crowd?

If so, then I hate to say it, but Larry the Cable Guy would probably get the role.

2. ???

(Looks up Wikipedia)

Buzz Sawyer was a real life wrestler. Am I missing something?

[Orrex]

3. Hmm. Maybe I have the name wrong.

The guy I'm thinking of drove some sort of vehicle--possibly crafted from a log--that had four circular saw blades in place of wheels.

Sound familiar? Is he one of the ones you named above?

I'm looking for an image online, but if I have the name wrong, them it'll be tough.

4. Found it!

Rufus Roughcut is the name, as you indicated. How the heck did I screw that up? The most current wrestler I can name is Andre the Giant, so I have no idea how Buzz's name got into my brain.

But he doesn't look anything like I (apparently incorrectly) remember. Weird.

5. Dude, I wrote that on the list!

It's OK -- there are days when I'm unable to perceive ANYTHING!

[Orrex]

8. Yeah, chalk it up to a brain fart

I saw the name on the list when I first read it, but I still couldn't make the connection. If you hadn't corrected my error, I never would have figured it out.

No doubt countless lives have been saved as a result!

6. Ashley Tisdale for Penelope Pitstop...

That's perfect!

:toast:

7. That one almost casted itself without my intervention.

She's JUST the girl who'd arrange for poor Brendan Fraser to be crushed, buried, shot at, thrown off cliffs, blown up, electrocuted etc etc etc, in the most spectacularly cartoonish ways while appearing to be all nice and girly and accessible, innit?
