The counterpart of the duo is Tommy Chong. It was cheech Maren? Question three from what is the term honky tonk derived? It was a kind of bar, at least from the earliest account in print, probably a place of ill repute back in

the day. It was mentioned in print along with something that was a brothel type honky tonk would be a brothel, but anyways, a bar. Question four In most accounts to whom was the Greek god e Feistis married Aphrodite, and she cheated on him with aries, and he chained them to a bed and made everyone come and laugh at them.

Speaker 2

Huh, that's one way to get your revenge. Round two. Question five the category is space. What is the densest planet in our solar system? Question six?

awarded to a notable person? Lord Lieutenant? Question eight? What iconic disco song includes the lyric We can try to understand the New York Times effect on man staying alive? And Nolan makes an interesting observation.
