Part 1: Famous Pairs


Explanation: Unrelated things that somehow form the name of a related pair. Example: "One-armed pitcher and British Elvis" yields "Abbott and Costello". Needless to say, spelling doesn't count, but extra words make the answer wrong. Thus, "Jim Abbott and Elvis Costello" is wrong because it's not an associative pair. Also, ... oh, what's the sense?
