For some reason I think 7/2 should be called a lame duck. Not really a question, just makes sense. Duck with a walking stick right?

You would need to be quite old to know that! More correctly, I'd guess the hand would be 78 not 87. The difference being that 78 (RPM) is the speed in Revolutions Per Minute that records used to spin at way back in the dark ages long before CD's were ever thought of - let alone any more modern gismos!!!!!!!!!!!!

Small correction Diablo. It's actually supposed to be Wayne Gretzky (i.e the world's most famous Ice Hockey player). The 9-9 reference doesn't mean anything to a European, which is why I presume other names develop.
If anyone doesn't get the German Virgin one, the German word for no is Nein.

Ok, let's try achtung. Could be A-10 but that doesn't make sense.
Gesundheit, hmmm brings to mind something dirty like having to do with a german irgin but can't figure a card link.
Alright I give up. What is a german igin? It probabaly has to do with a Q in it but other than that I don't know.

Motown is record label (and nickname for Detroit (Motor Town)) which Jackson 5 and other soul legends were on. (J5 was right).
Dolly Parton is a country singer with big jugs, that was in a cheesy film which she sung the theme tune for (oops!).
