  1. Yep. The Norelco Santa commercial. There were a lot of cute commercials back then. What was the one where there was a winter forest scene, birds and fawns gleeful, when a man comes up to a tree with a saw? Everything stops, and he starts playing "God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen" on the saw? George
  2. Let me guess. You've all PM'ed each other, deciding to tease me by not answering one of the easiest episodes to get. George
  3. With no Raf post, I'll do another: four pics, need a name George
  4. LA Beach? LA Surf? LA Wave? I don't know. George
  5. I learned Latin (and Greek) before I got involved with TWI. Happy Birthday. George
  6. I don't know that I'd call a groundhog a "rat." George
  7. To the Greasespot Choirmaster, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOUNG MAN!!! George
  8. As long as the don't go "commando"! George
  9. Still not getting it, but I'll guess "LA Law," just because. George
  10. As much as I despised the "in everybody else's business" manner of the last branch coordinators I dealt with, they did take care of their own cleaning, etc. Of course, on their meager salaries, there wasn't that much to take care of. George
  11. Skipping the first line Laete triumphantes. Venite, venite in Bethlehem. Natum videte regem angelorum. Venite adoremus. Venite adoremus. Venite adoremus Dominum. George
  12. "And now, shipmates, this black spot? 'Tain't much good now, is it? Dick's crossed his luck and spoiled his Bible, and that's about all" "Fetch the rum, Darby!" "His left leg was cut off close by the hip, and under the left shoulder he carried a crutch, which he managed with wonderful dexterity, hopping about upon it like a bird. He was very tall and strong, with a face as big as a ham-plain and pale, but intelligent and smiling." "From trunk to trunk the creature flitted like a deer, running manlike on two legs, but unlike any man that I had ever seen, stooping almost double as it ran." George
  13. You need a name? There are no people in the pictures. George
  14. Nope. I really can't believe you guys haven't gotten this. (Incidentally, there were no Romulans in either "The Naked Time" or "The Naked Now.") One last quote: "Bones, I believe you're getting gray!" "Well you take over my job and see what it does to you!" "Well then we have no choice but to surrender." "Sir, the Romulans do not take captives." "'Give us some more blood, Chekov. The needle won't hurt, Chekov. Take off your shirt, Chekov. Roll over, Chekov, breathe deeply, Chekov! Blood samples, Chekov; Marrow samples, Chekov; Skin samples, Chekov.' If, If, I live long enough, I'm going to run out of samples." "You'll live." "Oh yes I'll live, but I won't enjoy it." "Because of your Vulcan metabolism, I've prepared an extremely potent shot. However you'll be pleased to know I have removed all the breakables from sickbay." "That is very considerate of you, Doctor." "Adrenaline!" "Let me know if we contact any Romulans." (the Enterprise takes a hit) "I think we just made contact, sir." "Captain, I just wanted you to know I did what I thought was best." "Noted. You should know, however, that there are very few things a Starbase can do that a starship can't." "If I may say, Captain, so I am now quite aware of what a starship can do--with the right man at the helm." "Doctor, the ship's temperature is becoming increasingly cold. I've adjusted the temperature in my quarters to 125 degrees which is at least tolerable, and..." "Well, I can see I'm not gonna make any house calls on you!" "I was wondering if there was something which could lower my sensitivity to cold." "I'm not a magician. Just an old country doctor." "Yes, as I always suspected." "Send a message to Starfleet Command. Code Two." "But..." "CODE TWO!" "I don't know what's causing it. Virus, bacteria or evil spirits, but I'm trying to find out." "I fail to understand why my orders are repeatedly being questioned!" George
  15. Right series, wrong episode. (There were no Romulans in "Amok Time.") "Well then we have no choice but to surrender." "Sir, the Romulans do not take captives." "'Give us some more blood, Chekov. The needle won't hurt, Chekov. Take off your shirt, Chekov. Roll over, Chekov, breathe deeply, Chekov! Blood samples, Chekov; Marrow samples, Chekov; Skin samples, Chekov.' If, If, I live long enough, I'm going to run out of samples." "You'll live." "Oh yes I'll live, but I won't enjoy it."

  16. This one is very well-known in English; I'm pretty sure most will get it from the Latin, as well. TLB, belay that "Reply" finger until someone else makes a guess! Venite adoremus. Venite adoremus. Venite adoremus Dominum. George
  17. Boy, I didn't think it would be that obvious, but you're right! George
  18. A brother's birthday gift goes awry. George
  19. "O Come, O Come, Emanuel." (Though I remember the second verse a bit differently: "O come, O come, thou wisdom from on high, who orderest all things mightily.") George
