Mystery Contest
OK, last week you all accused me of putting up an easy contest so it would be over quickly, so I could go work on the greenhouse. Well, it is raining today, so I have ALL day. You will rue the day you complained about an easy contest. Today, you will all be defeated, and I will finally be able to have a victory breakfast in the morning. Let the Contest Begin!

ReplyDeleteJoe,
ReplyDeleteThat entry is not going to get it done.
Ha! contest was too easy last week, huh?

ReplyDeleteIt is not Fnny Brice
Icantdrive55,
It is not Margaret Hamilton.
Ha! You will all be defeated today.
PJM
PJM, you have done it this time. That is the ugliest man/woman I have seen in quite a while. It almost looks like the pictures of old gunfighters after they lost a gunfight and got propped up on a board (chair?) for the picture. I can't tell if the clothing is worn or just placed over the body frame.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is Calamity Jane in repose.
Good morning PJM

Elizabeth Hoagland, wife of Utah polygamist, George Q Cannon?
ReplyDeleteIt is not Elizabeth Hoagland
ReplyDeletePJM
I'm thinking Mr. PJM may have 'misled' us by choosing a photo of a man (in which case we have misled ourselves).
ReplyDeleteEmeline Pigott
ReplyDeleteNot Emeline Pigott
ReplyDeleteOscar Wilde

Regardless of who ths turns out to be, I hope we get some backstory on it. The photo creeps me out.
ReplyDeleteJust put in a call to Mrs. PJM to pick up some powdered sugar and whipped cream for the victory breakfast. I feel certain I will be victorious this weekend!
ReplyDeletePJM
A wild guess: it's PHOTOSHOPped!
ReplyDelete, just having fun.
Last post removed my
ReplyDelete*jk* before the "just having fun".
Alrighty... I'm dying to know who this poor unfortunate gal is... when shall you reveal her identity???
ReplyDeleteIs it belle boyd?
ReplyDeleteI think we are traditionally tortured until after the morning crepes are consumed. Then the answer is revealed.
ReplyDeleteW.C. Fields?
ReplyDeleteIt is not Belle Boyd,
ReplyDeleteIt is not WC Field.
PJM

ReplyDeleteNot Mother Bickerdyke,

ReplyDeleteI will rest assured of a victory tonight.
PJM
Possibly Marie Curie?
ReplyDeleteCharlotte Perkins Gilman, who wrote "The Yellow Wallpaper"?
ReplyDeleteOK, We have not had a correct answer, so I am the winner.
ReplyDeleteIt was Isma Martin, a confidence/con lady from the late 1800's and early 1900's. The picture was from her police file. She had many scams, but one of her favorites was to ride into town on a bicycle, and then claim to be a representative of a bicycle company. She would take deposits and payments for bicycle orders, and guess what . . . She never delivered any bicycles.
PJM,
ReplyDeleteWow. Good one. Enjoy your victory breakfast. The only thing I had right on this one was that it had a vaguely criminal aspect to it.
Goes to show that you just can't trust those biker chicks.
Dave
Congratulations on your win, Mr. PJM. Enjoy your victory breakfast!
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th of July to all, celebrate what independence we have left while you can.
She was apparent;y denied a pardon in order to help her repent.
