Bankruptcy or sequestration in Scotland is often the final step for some people. While it does have a negative association, it may be your only way to clear your debts and get a financial head start. Ha! So that's why I had a copy of this song in a file! I'd forgottesn the thread, having gone to the trouble of copying it from the Burl Ives book. Here's his notes on same: Also known as Oink Piggy Oink or Grunt Piggy Grunt, Squeak Piggy Squeak is a spin off Blind Man’s Bluff. One player chosen to be the “farmer” gets blindfolded and sits on a pillow in the center of a circle of “piggies.” After spinning around a few times, the farmer stumbles over to a random piggy and places the pillow on their lap. When he sits down and says “Squeak Piggy Squeak” the piggy must make a squeaking sound: If the farmer can guess who he’s sitting on based on the noise alone the piggy becomes the new farmer. This game hasn’t proven to be as timeless as Blind Man’s Bluff, but we bet it would still make for a successful icebreaker with modern party guests. 3. THE MINISTER’S CAT Named for a town in New South Wales, Tambaroora is an Australian drinking game dating from the late 19th century. Players place a token amount of money (originally sixpence) into a hat, and then take three turns rolling a die. The player (known as the “nut”) who scores the highest collects the money in the hat, buys all of the players a round of drinks, and keeps any left over cash for himself. 29. UP JENKINS (1800s-mid 1900s) Next, the man would ask a girl to marry him. She would have to say “yes” or “no” based on the characteristics of the character he was playing, not the boy himself. Then, they had to explain to the whole group what her logic was for her decision. For example, if a young man had to take on the persona of the fictional character Dorian Gray, the girl might say, “No, I don’t want to marry Dorian Gray, because he is too arrogant.” He has to move on to the next girl, and ask for her hand in marriage. Sometimes, a girl might say “yes” and give her reasons for why she would marry that person or character, even if others would not.

Holmes describes Moriarty's physical appearance to Watson, saying the professor is extremely tall and thin, clean-shaven, pale, and ascetic-looking. He has a forehead that "domes out in a white curve", deeply sunken eyes, and shoulders that are "rounded from much study". His face protrudes forward and is always slowly oscillating from side to side "in a curiously reptilian fashion". [3] Holmes mentions that during their meeting, Moriarty remarked in surprise, "You have less frontal development than I should have expected," indicating the criminal believes in phrenology. [2] DIN JOE CAME FROM CORK CITY AND HIS REAL NAME WAS DENIS FITZGIBBON.I THINK HIS INTRO TO THE SHOW WASLIFT THE LATCH OPEN THE DOORSTEP RIGHT IN ANDTAKE THE FLOOR.MAYBE IT WAS CHARLES LYNCH WHO SANG 'MORIARITY' AND YES JIMMY CROWLEY DID RECORD THE SONG. Holmes mentions Moriarty reminiscently in five other stories: " The Adventure of the Empty House" (the immediate sequel to "The Final Problem"), " The Adventure of the Norwood Builder", " The Adventure of the Missing Three-Quarter", " The Adventure of the Illustrious Client", and " His Last Bow" (the final adventure in Holmes's canon timeline, taking place years after he has officially retired). In fact, in the case of PRA Group, they’ve been known to use multiple company names. As you can see in the image below.

Wikipedia mentions a game, "Are You There, Moriarty," in which blindfolded players try to hit each other with rolled-up newspapers. I would assume the name comes from this song, but I've never heard of the game and the article never mentions the song. - RBW

Cue games require a variety of collectible equipment including cues, scoring boards, balls, and light fixtures. English Billiards The Victorian era was the heyday of parlor games in both Britain and the United States. Thanks to industrialization, Victorians found they had more free time for leisure than previous generations.
