In the UK there is a show called Only Connect that challenges you to make connections out of seemingly non-connecting items. The most enjoyable portion of this is calling the Connecting Wall, where they give you 16 connections and you are to arrange them in groups of four, and then describe why they are a connection...

This recently came from a championship round, and something tells me it'll be fun for everyone one here...

So, here comes the wall, post your connections and why!
