MYSTERY PICTURE (Greg Sullivan column): Also, Drew-Scal chest bump, Cooz and Papoula, untying knots, shady law firm, and more

It’s Mystery Picture Time.

It’s Mystery Picture Time.

Baby-boomers and older, too.

Take a look and tell us who.

Wow, we’ve crept into the 1980s, December of ’80 to be specific, for our latest MP. I was tempted to sub-title this photo “You light up our lives” due to the array of dazzling smiles. Actually, the guy in the back row, far left, is hinting at a smile.

The photographer is the late great Hank Pollard, who introduced me to the Manila Jade restaurant back in 1984.

Back to the Mystery Picture.

I know the identifications and theme of this picture but will keep my trap shut, for a while. We want to hear from you, the public. Tell us who, what (you already know when) and where. Name some of these guys. Name all. Guess. Share insight. Maybe one of these guys flunked you and you’re still bitter (oops, there’s a clue).

You may share your info on Facebook (my page or HNNow), Twitter, under the story online. You may email. You may call. The handwritten letters are very nice.

— A little mind emptying.

• One of the many fun moments from last week's Herald News All Scholastics Banquet at White's of Westport involved Drew Plante and our guest speaker Brian Scalabrine. Not so long after Plante won a Scalabrine USC basketball jersey for asking the best question of the night, the recent Case High School gradaute, wearing the USC jersey, was back at the stage for being named our boys' basketball player of the year. A pumped Scalabrine greeted Plante with a strong hand grasp and a jumping chest bump.

• Recently discovered that a staple remover is an extraordinary tool for untying tight-tight knots in shoelaces and drawstrings. (Amazingly, at just about the same time I discovered this, my 13-year-old son separately made the same discovery.)

• Hate, hate, hate myself for not taking a picture. On a second-floor window in Harvard Square are the names Dewey Cheatham and Howe. Any self-respecting Three Stooges fan can tell you Dewey Cheatham and Howe is a law firm from a Stooges movie short. My guess is the Harvard Square window sign is just a joke … but what if it isn’t? How cool would that be? A real firm named Dewey Cheatham and Howe. That might trump my current favorite Boston-area attorney name, William Soo Hoo.

• I get sick just looking at a Larabar.

• Add the cranberry-grape juice from Aldi to the list of terrific juice drinks. Taste-wise right there with the cranberry-cherry and, perhaps, more thirst quenching.

• Who remembers Quisp and Quake?

• Since Bob Cousy, Manny Papoula's basketball coach at Boston College, is a Holy Cross alum, let's end this column with an old favorite:

• Togo Palazzi.
