"Billy"? Or, Bill?
Okay, Dear Readers, here's a quiz:
This Tuesday, I have been invited to participate in a function where I will meet one of these fine gentlemen -
(L) Mr. Andrew Shue, formerly of Melrose Place.
(R) Mr. William Clinton, formerly of the White House.
Who will I be meeting?
Why?
Be sure to show your work.
You can bet to heck I'll provide all of you, Dear Readers, with an immediate and thorough debriefing as well as photographic documentation of said function and Billy?/Bill? encounter.
!!!! FLASH FASHION BULLETIN !!!!
Oh! To wear this announcement across my breastal region* at the Tuesday Billy?/Bill? summit! It is to swoon!
Alas, this spectacular item d'couture was released in the last 24 hours, and now it's too late notice for rush ordering.
Tracey, she of Sweetney.com, is the creator/genuis/diva/deity/mofo of this tee shirty fabulousness.
I ordered one in yellow tones. Pink is not on my pallette. (Kindly refer to the fashion statement on my About page)
Now, does this hint help? At all?
Remember, please do not use calculators. Show your work.
*breastal region credit to Bakerina, who not only bakes a mean loaf, but invents useful phrases, as well.
I cannot in a million years imagine circumstances involving those two people. Honestly. But if it is Andrew Shue could you please punch him in the face repeatedly on my behalf? He made my elementary school years a Melrose Place induced hell and I will never forgive him for it.
If it's Clinton though I'm wicked jealous.

My guess is Clinton, because of your work on the Katrina disaster. I can't wait for details!

What? WHat! Wahhhhat!

If it is Mr. C, tell him he's sorely missed.
WOW!!!

Hmm, I'm going to guess Andrew Shue, just for orneriness's sake. Why else would he be in there? You could find a photo of Clinton with anyone (well, almost anyone. Not me, for example.)

I second the Bill/Katrina connection.

Grace! You crack me up. Of course, since you are taking me along, I know the answer, but I'll play fair. This is going to be something else, I do believe!!
I have to go do my nails now. And hem my pants. And get all the lint off my coat.
See you tonight, baby!!

Googling Andrew Shue turns up, well, nothing.
So it's gotta be Bill. It's gotta be.

aww, shucks.
thanks for the support, lady!

I'm guessing that there is a connection between "Billy" and his "Do Something" organization! Seeing as how you just "did something" for Katrina relief. A shining example of Andrew's organization.

You're going to some ClubMom function. I figured this out by googling Andrew Shue, which led me to TeenInk.com, which had an interview with him and spoke of ClubMom. I first heard of ClubMom through the fabulous Mrs. Kennedy of fussy, and of course, you would *never* wear a t-shirt like that to meet Bill Clinton. Even you're not that badass.
Do I get an A? Huh? Huh? Do I?

I say Clinton, and I love pink. I do not, however, wear yellow. I look like a dead daffodil in that color.
Posted by: Margaret | January 30, 2006 at 03:41 PM
Ooooooo, it's a close one! But I've got to go with Mr. C. (Bonus points if you call him "Mr. C" in the voice of Shirley Booth as Hazel.)
Would it be untoward of me to admit that I was tickled pink (because alas, I cannot wear yellow) by the thought of "breastal region" entering the GraceD lexicon? You are so getting bread now. :)

Bill, because it just has to be. Can we not just use our intuition? I'm not into all this showing your work stuff. God, I miss the days of Bill and will always miss the days of Bill. Bill, come back Bill!

i say it was bill and i also say you shoulda given him the shirt with the second and third words inverted.
well, he'd prolly like it.
Posted by: e | January 30, 2006 at 09:04 PM
Grace, sport it like you mean it. ;-)
Posted by: Jenn | January 30, 2006 at 09:35 PM
I love me some Bill Clinton. I hope that you meet him! I think he's brilliant.

And while we're waiting to hear about Grace's adventure, below is a wonderful link for Fans Of Bill:

The song Imagine was sung at a concert in Israel by an Israeli singer, Liel, and a children's choir with President Clinton on a recent visit to Israel.

Hey! Great suggestion by "e"!!!!! I think we need to make our hubbys some of those shirts!
Posted by: Kris | January 31, 2006 at 10:15 AM
I was thinking along the same lines as e.
I hope it's Clinton, because I think he's way more interesting than just about any TV star, and I miss him terribly... but I think Janeen's right.
Posted by: Kimberly | January 31, 2006 at 12:26 PM
Bill Clinton. Because you were Dr. Laura's Worst Nightmare, with a side of Katrina Kick Ass. (And, yes, tell him we miss him.)
Where do I send my worksheet? It's very complex and can't just be typed in, you see.
Posted by: MaryB | January 31, 2006 at 12:57 PM
If lovin' Bill is wrong, I don't wanna be right...
Posted by: Lulabelle | January 31, 2006 at 03:07 PM
