| rdfs:comment | - The Algonquin Round Table was a celebrated group of New York City writers, critics, actors and wits who met together each day for lunch at the Algonquin Hotel at 59 West 44th Street in Manhattan from 1919 until roughly 1929. In 1920 Indiana Jones was introduced to this group by Kate Rivers where he attended at least two lunches. Present at the first lunch Indy attended were Alexander Woollcott, Franklin Pierce Adams, Dorothy Parker, Harold Ross, Edna Ferber, George and Beatrice Kaufman, and Robert Benchley.
- Gathering initially as part of a students who ate at the same time, a number of the members of group met in kindergarten in 1900 and continued their mutually exclusive clique until 1906 when the last of the group graduated from six grade and then moved up into the angst ridden world of Junior High. It was at this point that the Algonquin group fell apart, as the ages of 13 to 15 lend themselves better to moodiness of puberty angst – with humor being put on hold until the senior year in high school.

During these lunch periods (and sometimes at recess if the slide and jungle gym were being used by oogie kids from special ed classes) they engaged in wisecracks, wordplay, witticisms and an occasion game of four square. News of their impromptu repartee and convivial conversations were born from the crying and weak – those who most often fell under the scathingly, yet true, observations.
