I wonder how many ways there are to work a play on a famous person’s name into a sentence. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n
“Desi wasn’t as famous as Lucy, but he still had a Ball.”<\/p>\n
“If Glenn isn’t the greatest Hollywood actress, she is Close.”<\/p>\n
“Everything written by the author of The Iliad wasn’t just a hit. It was a Homer.”<\/p>\n
“Stephen is not merely our greatest writer of horror, he is King.”<\/p>\n
“Lucy ruled the set on Xena<\/i>, even though she was Lawless.”<\/p>\n
“After Shelley left Cheers<\/i>, it continued as a hit TV show, but not for Long.”<\/p>\n
“Nobody can say bad things about Freddy Mercury, but Brian May.”<\/p>\n
“Taylor was our fastest rising pop star because she was Swift.”<\/p>\n
“Neil may be an aging rock god, but he will always be Young.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
