Obviously, MATILDA knew it was "Lost in Space." Was her next line a clue to a new show? George

Actually, it was "Star Trek VI, The Undiscovered Country"; but go ahead, WW. I'll be out of town for a week, anyway. George

Good one, Maddy! Unfortunately, I'll be out of town for a week, so I'll leave it to someone else to answer! George

Your shot is right on target! George

And I was going to use "What a gorgeous pair of knockers!" "Young Frankenstein" "I wish, I wish, I wish I were a fish." George

Sorry. I'm going to be out of town for a week. It was "In Plain Sight." Please, someone take my turn. George

The Texas BBQ started three years ago when Tom Strange and I invited ourselves to Ex10's place, and a number of other GS'ers (from as far away as Alaska) joined in. The next year (also at Ex10's) was a bit more pre-planned; and it was an international event (with Twinky showing up). Last year, due to some unfortunate Ike damage at Ex10's, the party was at my place. There are pics from all three parties in the Gallery. It's customarily the first weekend of November (pleasant weather in SE Texas), though no official plans have been made yet for this year. George

I'm going on vacation tomorrow for a week, so I won't be around to check. Someone else, please go ahead and post! George

Oh, and then there's the Greasespot barbecues we've had the last three years. Lots of ex-Wayfers there! George

No. Right network, though. It's a current show. George

Well, pretty much everyone I fellowship with these days are ex-Wayfers. Does that count? :B) George

Fine. John Travolta Face Off Nicholas Cage George

If I'm not mistaken, that's Aunt Em in "The Wizard of Oz." George

There ya' go, Dooj! "Jerry Maguire." "No one ever won a war by dying for his country. You win by making the OTHER son-of-a-b--- die for HIS country!" George

(on phone) "I'm very angry that your mother paid us a surprise visit.....No, I don't hate your mother; I don't know your mother. I hate surprises!" "Do you know that periwinkle is also an intracoastal mussel?" "No, but if you hum a few bars, I'll wing it." "Every one of those individuals shares a unique attribute, distinguishing them from the rest of the general population. And that is, somebody wants them dead." "What about my Probe? Exactly what image was that suppose to transfer, 'cause all I'm getting is paper dress, metal stirrups and legs a-kimbo. Exactly what was the thought process behind that marketing coup? (Impersonates a Ford marketing exec) Say Bob, what's a metaphor for an invasive, somewhat humiliating procedure 'cause we really need something to compete with the Chevy Speculum." George

I was another who had been booted before I learned of the rottenness in the system. Of course, there were occasional allegations, but nothing substantial. George

Well, I feel safer, knowing he's around! :) George

"Boston Legal"? George

Interesting. For me, something like "Fish sticks on Wednesday" or "Qantas...never had an accident." would have been giveaway lines, but not "K-Mart sucks." All a matter of perspective. I agree that Dooj gave up too early. As I did with "Risky Business," try another line if the first doesn't click. "Rain Man" was definitely a well-known film. Definitely. ;) Steve!, why don't you give it a go? George

They seem to fail the cardinal rule of writing: Eschew obfuscation. George

As I have been away for a few days, I was not surprised to see a large number of posts in this thread. I don't know if I should be surprised that SOWERS Grad hasn't posted in days. What I do want to know is, what the heck have the REST of you been fighting about? :) George

I guess I was out of town for all the real fun. Sorry I'm a bit late, but Happy Birthday, Old Man! George

Actually, I started this thread because in the "Name That Flick" thread there were lines that would come to me for a film which I thought would be too obvious. So, to make it more challenging, I would dig up less obvious quotes, and if necessary, eventually give the easy one(s). As I mentioned in the opening post, there are movies out there for which certain lines might be giveaways but which had a small enough viewership to make it obscure, anyway. (The quintessential example being "Traxx.") Is "Slap Shot" in that category? I don't know. (Even I saw the movie a long time ago, but remember almost nothing about it.) You're generally more likely to get a quick hit with a a more well-known movie, though a good quote might get you there even for a less-well-known film. Note that WW got "Risky Business" without having seen the film, after I gave the right quote. As far as responding is concerned, I suggest putting a question mark after your answer, if you're unsure of its correctness. If you know you have the right answer, go ahead and post another one. George

I know I've heard that exchange. "King of the Hill"? George
