  1. Suppose I just did this: Maid Maid Maid Maid Maid Maid Maid. Ring any bells? George

  3. Thanks to GS's unscheduled "break," WW has had plenty of time to come up with a new one. How about it, WW? George
  4. Russell Crowe was offered a major role in this film but could not do it due to scheduling conflicts with "A Beautiful Mind." He suggested Eric Bana for the role. It was Bana's first role in an American film. Ewan MacGregor's role was based on a person involved in the actual event on which the movie is based. The actual soldier won a Silver Star for his actions but was later convicted of child molestation. MacGregor's character, therefore, had a different name. The scene depicting a soldier cut completely in half by an RPG is partially true. In reality his torso and legs were held together by his spine, and he survived unconscious for about two hours. In his commentary, the screenwriter opted to depict it as it is onscreen as he felt audiences would not be able to suspend their disbelief if it was shown as it happened. George
  5. "Are you here all by yourself?" "Ma'am, I'm eight years old. You think I would be here alone? I don't think so." "Where's your mom?" "My mom's in the car." "Where's your father?" "He's at work." "What about your brothers and your sisters?" "I'm an only child." "Where do you live?" "Uh, I can't tell you that." "Why not?" "Because you're a stranger." "Why the hell did you take your shoes off?" "Why the hell are you dressed like a chicken?" "Did I turn off the coffee?" "No... I did." "Did you lock up?" "Yeah." "Did we set the timers on the lights?" "Yeah." "Did you close the garage?" "That's it. I forgot to close the garage, that's it." "No, that's not it." "Well, what else could we be forgetting?" George
  6. "As the snow flies -- on a cold and gray Chicago morn A poor little baby child is born..." George
  7. Got it. Don't recognize the quote/lyric, though. George
  8. That's it. Fun fact: When it first opened, the Astrodome had natural turf. It wasn't long, however, before they realized that grass doesn't grow well indoors. The artificial substitute became known as Astroturf. George
  9. We haven't done Pictionary in a while. Let me see if this works: Well, it doesn't work. File size apparently too big. Let's try it a different way: Rock Hudson James Doohan Telly Savalas Roddy McDowall Keenan Wynn Barbara Leigh Angie Dickinson John David Carson Joanna Cameron Gretchen Carpenter Aimee Eccles Margaret Markov June Fairchild Joy Bang Brenda Sykes Diane Sherry George

  11. The venue was home to an NL team, an NFL team, and a rodeo. It now serves none of those purposes. George
  12. These are movie quotes, right? You didn't really identify the movie from my quote, and I suspect the other is a Songs Remembered... line. George
  13. I was going to use that next. Jerry Maguire "You're a mean one You really are a heel You're as cuddly as a cactus You're as charming as an eel." George
  14. "Gloom, despair, and agony on me! Deep, dark depression, excessive misery!" George
