Another weekend is upon us, so let's kick back and relax with some enigmas.

COMMON BONDS

02. {James, honey}

REBUS
Considering the upcoming events of next week, a famous slogan is represented by the image below. Do you know what it is?

We'll reveal all next weekend. But for now, let's peek inside THE ANSWERS BOX and reveal the results from our memorial Trivia Time from the April 13, 2013 Puzzle Corner.

TRIVIA TIME: MARGARET THATCHER
Whether as a compliment or intended as an insult, many called the former Prime Minister of England "The Iron Lady". But how did the nickname actually come about?

A Soviet journalist gave her the nickname, based upon observing Thatcher's uncompromising politics and leadership style.

TRIVIA TIME: ANNETTE FUNICELLO
When, where, and by whom, was Annette first discovered?

Walt Disney himself spotted her during a ballet recital of Swan Lake when Annette was 12.

TRIVIA TIME: JONATHAN WINTERS
How did Jonathan Winters actually get his start in comedy?

Winters entered a talent competition to win a wristwatch to replace one he lost. He won, and the rest is history.
