  1. New quotes #1: I want to say one word to you. Just one word. #2: Yes, sir. #1: Are you listening? #2: Yes, I am. #1: Plastics. #2: Just how do you mean that, sir?
  2. I agree, Raf, one of my all time favorites. If anyone reading this has not seen it, it's well worth the time. Take it away, Mr. Raf Daddy! Edited to add -- If you watch it, stay for the song during the credits at the end.
  3. ....Relatively speaking, that's what Santa's anuts and uncles are called --- Relative Clauses.... another quote...... "Perhaps your skills do reach farther than basketball." "Further" "What?" "You said that my skills reached "farther" than basketball. "Farther" relates to distance, "further" is a definition of degree. You should have said "further"." "Are you challenging me, Mr. Wallace?" "Not any more than you challenged Coleridge."
  4. "Women will sleep with you if you write a book? " "Women will sleep with you if you write a bad book."
  5. 1st Indy movie -- Raiders of the Lost Ark ??
  6. Well, I'm glad something helped! It's a good, but long movie. I was trying to tie in the Crowe part of his name, but didn't think a cock crow(e)ing wold fit in very well. Finally, it's your turn....
  7. Very popular movie, but perhaps less than memorable quotes. Our hero also speaks in this flick and these three lines should finally russell up a new winner in this forum arena... To my son - I tell him I will see him again soon. To keep his heels down while riding his horse. To my wife... that is not your business. You can help me. Whatever comes out of these gates, we've got a better chance of survival if we work together. Do you understand? If we stay together we survive. My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.
  8. Okay, I'll make it a little easier. So far, two quotes from two different supporting actors. This one also from a supporting actor, but more meaningful. (Dare I say, Good Luck!): You wrote to me once, listing the four chief virtues: Wisdom, justice, fortitude and temperance. As I read the list, I knew I had none of them. But I have other virtues, father. Ambition. That can be a virtue when it drives us to excel. Resourcefulness, courage, perhaps not on the battlefield, but... there are many forms of courage. Devotion, to my family and to you. But none of my virtues were on your list. Even then it was as if you didn't want me for your son.
  9. additional quote --- (there are some really easy ones for later if the need arises): I don't pretend to be a man of the people. But I do try to be a man for the people.
  10. New quote.... Those giraffes you sold me, they won't mate. They just walk around, eating, and not mating. You sold me... queer giraffes. I want my money back.
  11. Sounds like The Scorpion King with Mr. "The Rock" himself....????
  12. Yup that's the ticket, but tic-tac-toe is the real winner!
  13. New quote... How about Global Thermonuclear War?
  14. To Sir With Love ??? I think Sidney Poitier was in both this movie and In the Heat of the Night.

    Another groaner.

    I’ll bet he was never charged with elocution.
  16. Dooj, as T-Bone said, You must first be one of the INLightened ones. The inner circle, so to speak.....
  17. HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!! from your northern neighbor
  18. Christmas Story for people having a bad day.... When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre-Christmas pressure. Then Mrs. Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more. When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows where. Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered. So, frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drank all the cider and hidden the liquor. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom. Just then the doorbell rang, and irritated Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree. The angel said very cheerfully, "Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?" And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.
  19. Happy Birthday Belle. You are the same age as my wife - do you think I'll get in trouble since I married her over 25 years ago! Have a great one and try to remember it tomorrow.
  20. Hey there. I thought it was supposed to rain on the "Just" AND the "Unjust". How come everyone else needs an umbrella? Do you have a new secret to radiant living?
  21. Funny story received from e-mail Fifty Years of Math 1957 - 2007 Last week I purchased a burger at Burger King for $1.58. The counter girl took my $2 and I was digging for my change when I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and gave it to her. She stood there, holding the nickel and 3 pennies, while looking at the screen on her register. I sensed her discomfort and tried to tell her to just give me two quarters, but she hailed the manager for help. While he tried to explain the transaction to her, she stood there and cried. Why do I tell you this? Because of the evolution in teaching math since the 1950s: 1. Teaching Math In 1950s A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit ? 2. Teaching Math In 1960s A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100 His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit? 3. Teaching Math In 1970s A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit? 4. Teaching Math In 1980s A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20. 5. Teaching Math In 1990s A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers, and if you feel like crying, it's ok. ) 6. Teaching Math In 2007 Un hachero vende una carretada de maderapara $100. El costo de la producciones es $80. Cuanto dinero ha hecho?
  22. Happy Birthday BikerBabe. I miss our late night and early morning chats, but still think of you and pray for you often. I'm glad God and Toppie sent you wonderful weather for your birthday celebrations.
  23. Hey Toppie, Happy Birthday and many more to come. I miss chatting with you and the other Birthday girl, but I don't go there much anymore and really should start again. Have a great day and the rest of the year!

    ……then there was the lens maker who fell into his vat of molten glass and made a spectacle of himself.
