All right. SOMEBODY answer this! George

Purlpe Days, I brought the computer and old hard drive back to Best Buy. The Geek wasn't sure how to do the transfer, so I had him open Explorer and then navigate to your post! It eventually got done. ;) George

"God, you're gonna remember this the rest of your life. Can't believe you've never been cow tipping before. Get ready to live. Huh, huh, huh, ssshhhh. She's sleepin'. What you do is, you put your shoulder into her and you push." "And?" "They fall over, hee, hee, hee." "And this doesn't strike you as kinda' dumb?" "We're family, we're gonna be doing lots of dumb stuff together. Wait 'til Christmas." "It's called reading! Top to bottom, left to right... a group of words together is called a sentence. Take Tylenol for any headaches... Midol for any cramps." "Hey, what's your name?" "Helen." "That's nice, you look like a Helen. Helen, we're both in sales. Let me tell you why I suck as a sales man. Let's say I go into a guy's office, let's say he's even remotely interested in buying something. Well then I get all excited. I'm like Jojo the idiot circus boy with a pretty new pet." [Reaches down and picks up a dinner roll] "Now the pet is my possible sale. Hello there pretty little pet, I love you. And then I stoke it, and I pet it, and I massage it. Hehe I love it, I love my little naughty pet." [Pokes the roll playfully] "You're naughty! And then I take my naughty pet and I go..." [makes ripping noises as he tears apart the roll] [Wailing loudly, making the whole restaurant look] "Uuuuuuh! I killed it! I killed my sale! And that's when I blow it. That's when people like us have gotta forge ahead, Helen. Am I right?" "God, you're sick!" "Listen up, you little spazoids. I know where you live and I've seen where you sleep. I swear to everything holy that your mothers will cry when they see what I've done to you." "You're right! You're not your dad! He could sell a ketchup Popsicle to a woman in white gloves!" "Ketchup Popsicle?" "Yeah. I learned everything I know from him. I didn't have a real father, but you, he was your real dad and you just took him for granted." "I can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking my head up a bull's a$$, but I'd rather take a butcher's word for it." George

"Young Frankenstein" (or is it Frahnkenshteen?) :) All right, this movie isn't really well-known, so I'm violating my own rules, but the previous quotes reminded me of this. And, if you HAVE seen the movie, you'll remember this line: "Badgers? We don'need no stinking badgers!" George

As it happens, I filled out one of those on-line reviews of service, pointing out how PO'ed I was about Best Buy not setting up Outlook with my old data. I got an e-mail from the service manager telling me to come in and they'll take care of it. If they mess up again, I'll try what you wrote. Thanks, George

It's one of those early Clint Eastwood films, but I'm not sure which one. I'll guess "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" George

Well, If Purple Days or flow gets it first, save yours! George

Helium walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve noble gases here." Helium doesn't react. Heisenberg is stopped by a traffic cop who asks: "Do you know how fast you were going?" Heisenberg replies: "No, but I know exactly where I am." A superconductor walks into a bar. The bartender says "We don't serve superconductors here." The superconductor leaves without putting up any resistance. A Higgs boson walks into a church. The priest says "Bosons aren't allowed in here." The Higgs boson says "but without me, how can you have mass?" Wanted: Schrodinger's cat. Dead and alive. f(x) walks in to a bar. The bartender says "sorry, we don't cater for functions." A neutron walks into a bar and orders a beer. He asks the bartender how much. "For you, no charge." An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first orders a beer. The second orders half of a beer. The third orders a quarter of a beer. The fourth orders an eighth of a beer. The bartender rolls his eyes and pours two beers. George

Well, you've got the names, and one of your guesses for the middle clue is correct, so you're almost there. George

Unfortunately, Waysider's post (link) didn't work, though I assume he knew it was "Tie Me Kangaroo Down." His line is from "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka-dot Bikini" by Brian Hyland. When you were a child you were a treated kind but you were never brought up right You were always spoiled with a thousand toys but still you cried all night George

Never heard of her. Google search shows that she's easy on the eyes. George

"Listen up, you little spazoids. I know where you live and I've seen where you sleep. I swear to everything holy that your mothers will cry when they see what I've done to you." "You're right! You're not your dad! He could sell a ketchup Popsicle to a woman in white gloves!" "Ketchup Popsicle?" "Yeah. I learned everything I know from him. I didn't have a real father, but you, he was your real dad and you just took him for granted." "I can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking my head up a bull's a$$, but I'd rather take a butcher's word for it." George

Darn! This one I can hear in my head, but only as much far as the lines you've quoted! George

Okay, here's the deal. Since there was no real way to give my old computer more memory, I purchased a new one, loaded with Windows 7. The guys at Best Buy were supposed to put my old hard drive in a new case and transfer data to the new computer. They did the former but not the latter. I loaded Office 2010 Home and Business, because I like Outlook as a mail device. What I need to do now is to transfer my old e-mails and contacts from the old hard drive to my new computer. Since I had Windows XP on the old computer, I had Outlook Express, not Outlook. I presume that the file formats are the same. Any ideas how to do this? I suppose I can have the "Geek Squad" do it remotely, but it will cost about $60. George

"Uncle Buck." The high school scenes in that movie were shot at my old high school, which had been closed for a while after all us baby boomers grew up. It's back in business now. I'll post a new flick later. George

Yes. After Stark tries out the boot jets and falls over backwards, "Jarvis" hits him with fire foam. Go flow. George

My favorite is "Michelle" I just didn't feel like answering all the parts of the poll. As far as "A Day in the Life" is concerned, if I want a fatalistic tune, I'd prefer "Eleanor Rigby." I'm much more fond of early Beatles than later. George

You've got it, my man. Were the lines that memorable, or did the (parts of) character names give it away? George

No. More recent. I'm surprised that you didn't get this, considering your most recent post in "Triple Movie Links." George

Ah. I knew I recognized the name. I just couldn't place it. I COULD go with Iron Man II, but instead... Galaxy Quest Tony Shaloub Men in Black George

Is this an answer to the line I quoted? If so, it's not correct. Here's the line again, with a little more: My daddy was a cop, on the east side of Chicago. Back in the USA. Back in the bad old days. George

I love "Army Wives." Of course, you could put Catherine Bell in a show about Yellow Pages delivery people and I'd watch it! And "Army Wives" has Kim Delaney, Brigid Brannagh, Wendy Davis, and Sally Pressman; all worth the ptice of admission! George

Well, maybe. If it's very warm and humid when you drive and much cooler later, you might get some condensation. It's probably a good idea to toss a can of de-icer (usually methanol or ethanol) in the tank when the weather turns cold, but it really shouldn't be a problem most of the time, especially, as Jim points out, since most gas sold these days has ethanol in it. On the other hand, 20 gal of gasoline weighs about 140 lbs., so having a full tank is like carrying an extra passenger. George

Except,of course, that to produce solar cells takes energy,and that probably comes from some geologic source (oil, gas, or coal). George
