How to play: the poster submits the initials of a famous trio. Whoever identifies the trio submits a new set of initials.
For example, someone submits "P, P & M".
Someone else guesses "Peter, Paul, & Mary".
That is correct so they submit "L, M & C".
And so on.
So to begin with, "W, B, & N."
Winken, Blinken and Nod
"H, D & L"
Huey, Dewey & Louie
C (Sometimes spelled with a G), M & B
