    bfh,

    You can't go from "Honeymoon in Vegas" to "Honeymoon in Vegas" in one step. You'll need to find another James Caan movie.

    George

    George - it wasn't me.

    Besides, I would have used either Misery or Alien Nation, my two favorite James Caan movies, like this:

    Misery

    Kathy Bates

    Oh. I thought you meant apple pie... :wink2:

    Of course, for we Brits, 14.3 means ... nothing.

    Oh, you Brits...

    Driving on the wrong side of the road

    Calling a parking lot a car park

    Spelling color and flavor wrong

    And what exactly is that boot and bonnet thing?

    Now Twinky, don't you know it's all about America? :jump:

    Fun facts about Pi day:

    On March 12, 2009, the US House of Representatives passed a non-binding resolution recognizing March 14 as National Pi Day.

    For Pi Day 2010, Google presented a Google Doodle celebrating the holiday, with the word Google laid over images of circles and pi symbols.

    The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has often mailed its application decision letters to prospective students for delivery on Pi Day. Starting in 2012, MIT has announced it will post those decisions (privately) online on Pi Day at exactly 6:28pm, which they have called "Tau Time", to honor the rival numbers Pi and Tau equally.

    There's two artists that I know of (although there may be others) - Elvis and Tony Joe White.

    Personally, I prefer Tony Joe; he has more grit in his voice which I think lends itself well to the lyrics

    and attitude of the song, but I'm sure rabid Elvis fans would totally disagree.

    You're up.

    Back in the day, this was one of my favorite songs - guess it still is.

    Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies...."Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show" by Neil Diamond.

    New Tune:

    Down in Louisiana

    Where the alligators grow so mean

    Lived a girl that I swear to the world

    Made the alligators look tame

    Movin' On...

    The movie is Miami Vice.

    New Flick:

    I was sheriff of this county when I was twenty-five years old. Hard to believe. My grandfather was a lawman; father too. Me and him was sheriffs at the same time; him up in Plano and me out here. I think he's pretty proud of that. I know I was. Some of the old time sheriffs never even wore a gun. A lotta folks find that hard to believe. Jim Scarborough'd never carried one; that's the younger Jim. Gaston Boykins wouldn't wear one up in Comanche County. I always liked to hear about the old timers. Never missed a chance to do so. You can't help but compare yourself against the old timers. Can't help but wonder how they would have operated these times. There was this boy I sent to the 'lectric chair at Huntsville Hill here a while back. My arrest and my testimony. He kil't a fourteen-year-old girl. Papers said it was a crime of passion but he told me there wasn't any passion to it. Told me that he'd been planning to kill somebody for about as long as he could remember. Said that if they turned him out he'd do it again. Said he knew he was going to hell. "Be there in about fifteen minutes". I don't know what to make of that. I sure don't. The crime you see now, it's hard to even take its measure. It's not that I'm afraid of it. I always knew you had to be willing to die to even do this job. But, I don't want to push my chips forward and go out and meet something I don't understand. A man would have to put his soul at hazard. He'd have to say, "O.K., I'll be part of this world."

    X - Just how dangerous is he?

    Y - Compared to what? The bubonic plague?
