Fra-Mar Tavern[edit]

J. 1963,I have tried to find history of building but am having no luck any help?---- I have removed a duplicate post Matt Deres (talk) 04:17, 5 October 2010 (UTC) [reply]

With pre-Internet information like this, the best place to look is at the local libraries and/or historical societies in the location in question. I did a google search for "Fra-Mar", and find many unrelated businesses, but no Cliffside Park Tavern, indicating that it closed down many years ago. If you can find archives of, for example, business registrations or tax records from the County/City in question you can get the address of the building, and see if it is still there, perhaps under a different name. Looking in old newspapers (probably on microfilm/microfiche) you can find old ads which may have mentioned it, or shown pictures of the establishment. If there is a "Cliffside Park Historical Society" or some similar group, they may be able to help you find this information as well. --Jayron32 04:29, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

jes brieden or Catherine Thompson on biz kids?[edit]

Is the person who does voice over on biz kids either Jes Brieden or Catherine thompson? here is an example of what she does: The biz kids biz quiz, and the worker with a Bausten or New York accent that is always talking to an unhelpful assistant named "brian," She also does a nice brittish accent. Is it Jes Brieden the singer? or Catherine thompson from the zula patrol? if it is neither, who is it? Whoever it is, i would like to compliment them on their ausom voice work, you're the biz kid! and brian, you should get to those papers now! 204.112.104.172 (talk) 05:20, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Name the Dan Brown book[edit]

...in which a person in a limo is shot at (and dies...I think) possibly from a missile by a helicopter!? Sorry, I know this is all very vague... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.49.50.61 (talk) 13:20, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

mario & luigi: bowser's inside story[edit]

Ummm did I post this question right? In mario & luigi, bowser's inside story, I've got as far as beating a trio of aliens, and getting the peach castle attack pieces... but I can't get into the castle... :( can anyone please help? They are the eggmen (talk) 15:42, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you're probably better off looking at a videogame site such as GameFAQs. Grsz11 15:46, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You did post the question correctly, and you posted it here on the Entertainment desk, which is perfect. If a volunteer happens to know the answer, you'll get an answer in a few days ... but Grsz is on the right track; my first place to check would be GameFAQs.

There is also neoseaker, that's where i found mario party 2 how tos. 204.112.104.172 (talk) 21:31, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Aliens? I don't remember any aliens, and the guides I've checked don't mention any either. Can you be a bit more specific? Reach Out to the Truth 23:40, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ummmm, I got the three star cures, did prettymuch everything outside peach castle: getting the attack pieces, going everywhere in the main area, and fought off several previously frozen aliens in a secret chamber under bowser's castle (I think this might be a side quest or something, as doing it didn't appear to unlock anything). I'm mainly stuck because there is this seperate back room in the back of the garden but there are some bars in the way of me going to it, with more on the inside of the back room (accessible by pipe inside bowser) and a pile of junk sitting in the other doorway. I've tried spinning, hammers, digging, jumping, squishing mario and then jumping or using hammers, but nothing appears to affect them. I'm gonna check if that's the case for the pile of junk but I think it is. Can anyone tell me what I'm supposed to do next? Does it involve finding bowser somewhere(I searched but didn't find him)?

I just checked and the hammering, jumping, digging, or spining doesn't work. Neither does squishing mario with a hammer and then having him jump or use his hammer. They are the eggmen (talk) 14:24, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There's a massively detailed walkthrough here, maybe you can find the answer in there. --Viennese Waltz 14:24, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
