The Trio Game

Gotta love those great native legends. Although there's a lake in Washington state that vies for ninth deepest, the rest of the clues describe Oregon's own Crater Lake National Park, first on my list of spring roadtrips.

And its a wonderful National Park. Amazing how blue it is during the summer time on a clear day!

Your turn Professor.
 
Thank you and others for honoring past crimes, just so its clear I haven't professed English, literature, or history since June 2001--other than filling in locally now and then as "adjunct professor," which from what I see may only require a high school diploma--perhaps a GED, ha ha. But remember: those who can, do; those who can't, teach (the worst of whom teach teachers) heh heh.

1. Author’s alphabetical titles now number twenty

2. Created private investigator in Southern California

3. Editor of how-to guide on writing mysteries

Sue Grafton
 
That's the lady. Just finished T is for Trespass. Reviews for R and S were less than terrific, but I think T is a winner and am looking forward to U.

So much for the commercial. Your turn, Bottesini.
 
Donald Duck’s three nephews? No, wait! The three wise men visiting Bethlehem? Curly, Larry, and Moe’s last names?

Okay, I’ve read the names in books and on closed captions and enjoyed Harry Potter’s nemeses, the evil Malfoy guys. I've check with a fifth grader and that's my final answer.

Can't fool you. Please continue.
 
Cheri got it right, too. Here are three clues about geography/history, Cheri:


1. Means “Sulfur Island.”

2. Last major assault of the war, costing the lives of 6,821 invaders.

3. Of 21,000 defenders, almost none survived.

Iwo Jima?

If that is correct, you have my permission Chase to come up with another set of clues as I will be away from the computer for the next day or so....

Have fun!
 
Byrdie's our geography whiz. You're correct, and as requested, I got your back:

1. Seventeen-year-old Kansas City Star cub reporter.

2. Leader in post WWI "modernist movement" for brief, "Picasso-like" prose.

3. Pulitzer Prize winner whose manic-depression ended in suicide.
 
You mean Clarence, Marcelline, Ursula, Madelaine, Carol, Leicester, Mary, John, Patrick, Gregory, Margot, Mariel, Lorian, or Hilary?

Okay, just showing off. I interviewed Mary and Margot in Ketchum, Idaho, while researching my master's thesis at Idaho State.

Of course you mean Ernest. You're our best new literary whiz. Take it away, Bottesini . . .
 
Okay, I gave others a whole hour to answer, but I had it right away. I just bought all five seasons after watching a couple of hilarious episodes of . . .

Monk.

I know obsessive-compulsive disorder isn't funny to acute sufferers, but Tony Shalhoub makes you love and hate Adrian Monk, the modern day flawed Sherlock.
 
Not all the engravings are of dead presidents . . .

Thank you. Three more:

1. C-note

2. Shocking experiments

3. Most popular American abroad in latter half of 1700s, including England
 
That's the guy. Any chance you read Ben and Me, about how Franklin knew and accomplished so much?

Anyway, your turn, Bottesini.
