I called Ex10 on her birthday. Since I hadn't seen her in a year, I asked if she was still an exquisite babe. She assured me that she was. FYI. George

This problem just popped up for me today. For some reason, when I open a reply box, the "toolbars" appear in the middle of the box, instead of above it. I haven't found an easy way to "drag" the toolbar to thetop. What happened? George

Congratulations! (Different schools use different systems, but I assume yours is a four-point scale.) George

Picards old ship was the Stargazer, but otherwise, correct. We learn that Picard came up with a maneuver whereby he warped right next to the Ferengi ship and blasted it; this would be called "the Picard Maneuver." (I, and apparently a number of other fans, jokingly refer to pulling down one's jersey every time one stands up as "the Picard Maneuver." I think it could also refer to surrendering to a much weaker foe in order to facilitate negotiations. :)) Picard comes under mind control and is about to use the PM against the Enterprise, when Riker orders Data to come up with a defense to it. He does so, saving them all. I find it odd that no one had ever though of a defense to the PM sooner! Hit it, Mr Steve!! George

"Captain's Log, Stardate 41723.9. In response to a Starfleet order we are in the Xendi Sabu star system having rendezvoused with a Ferengi vessel which has requested a meeting. Although we arrived here and made appropriate signals to the Ferengi three days ago they have so far responded only with the message, 'Stand by, Enterprise.'" "Something unusual has definitely been happening to you." "Why do doctors always say the obvious, as though it's a revelation?" "Why do captains always act like they're immortal?" "Let the dead rest, and the past remain the past." "As you hew-mons say, I'm all ears." George

"bump" (I THOUGHT this was really easy...)

To be fair, I haven't seen the movie in quite a while, so the "best friend" relationship might not be quite accurate. George

Uhhh....no. All right. This will make it easy, but anything to move it along. A guy goes back in time to help his best friend's mom, becoming his friend's dad in the process. George

Sorry. Incidentally, if your "New Clue" is a link, it doesn't work. George

Still not the one I'm looking for. I think that if I change the clue it will be too obvious, so here's another hint: the movie had three sequels and a spin-ff TV show. George

Yep. Interesting story. When I first moved to SE Texas, there were two WOW families in the area. One of the ladies had had a bit part in "Ragtime," so, when it came to the local theater, we all went together to see it. All her scenes had been cut. :( George

Unless, of course, you only have windows on one side of your house. This movie had a lot of great lines, but I doubt I could post most of them here. These will have to do: "Take these three items, some WD-40, a vise grip, and a roll of duct tape. Any man worth his salt can fix almost any problem with this stuff alone." "Why didn't you call the police?" "Well you know, I prayed for them to come but nobody answered." "I don't care about him." "You hang out with him, you teach him to fix things, you saved him from that f---ed cousin of ours." "Watch your language, lady." "And you're a better man to him than our own father was. You're a good man." "Yeah, well, you were blowing it with that girl who was there. Not that I give two sh--s about a toad like you." "You don't know what you're talking about." "You're wrong, eggroll, I know exactly what I'm talking about. I may not be the most pleasant person to be around, but I got the best woman who was ever on this planet to marry me. I worked at it, it was the best thing ever happened to me. Hands down. But you, you know, you're letting Click-Clack, Ding-Dong and Charlie Chan just walk out with Miss What's-her-face. She likes you, you know? Though I don't know why!" George

That it is. Your turn. George

"The Sunshine of Your Smile" (Sinatra)? George

The Heckler was a short-lived DC comic book. Of course, you would have been about 8 when it came out, so I guess that your nom de plume is not an allusion to that character. ;) You are certainly welcome to search for truth wherever you wish, even in TWI, if that's your choice. I still hold many of the doctrines I learned while in that organization as accurate, but it has become clear that the past leadership was very corrupt; and, from posts by those recently out (or still in), it is apparent that most present leadership is corrupt, also. No one will hold a grudge against you for being in TWI, but don't expect a lot of affirmation. God bless, George

This sounds more familiar than your last one, but I'm not getting it... George

WW's hint plus the quote about "schoolbooks" would lead me to conclude that this is "YOUNG Sherlock Holmes." George

As usual. :) Actually, although this show was quite popular, I only watched it rarely. George

Well, One of my friends took a recording of a performance of "Feast of Trumpets," a march I wrote early this year, and added a visual of the heavens in the Sep. 11, 3 BC. time frame, and posted it on YouTube: George

"Is - is me. Hi." "Um, thanks." "Well, uh, maybe I'll see you around... maybe at school... since we... both... go there." "Great! It was nice to meet you." [walks away] "We both go to school. Very suave. Very not pathetic." "There's a reason why you're here, and a reason why it's now!" "Because now is the time my mom moved here." "Something's coming, something, something, something is - is gonna happen here. Soon!" "Gee, can you vague that up for me?" "What are you doing here? Five words or less." "Out. For. A. Walk... Bitch." "We saved the world. I say we party!" "That probably would've sounded more convincing if I wasn't wearing my yummy sushi pajamas." George

"Let the dead rest, and the past remain the past." "As you hew-mons say, I'm all ears." George

Perhaps gift isn't the right word. You have free access to a place with rules. Like a youth center: somebody else pays for it, and you can use it, but you have to follow the rules. Better? George

This is one of my favorite Voyager episodes, where the Doctor gets sent to a prorotype Federation ship that has been commandeered by the Romulans. He enlists the aid of the Doctor v.2 on the ship to re-take it, just in time to keep from being blown up by the Federation. I believe the title was "Message in a Bottle." George

Here's a word I haven't seen in about four decades, but it showed up recently in an article about the "scientists" promoting the "global warming crisis": Mountebank n. (from the Italian montimbanco, one who climbs upon a bench or platform) 1 : a person who sells quack medicines from a platform 2 : a boastful unscrupulous pretender : charlatan The mountebank VPW made all sorts of exaggerated claims about himself and PFAL. George

No, though I think I see how you might get that from Marty McFly helping his dad. The movie I had in mind was far more somber. George
