  1. No. This is a current show. (Cable series.) George
  2. I know a young lady who is the voice for Gohan and Goku. I may have seen the show once, though, George
  3. DRAG ANN BALL Z(?) "Dragonball Z"? George
  4. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Actually, I thought VPW was a bit cornball, but sincere. I can read Greek, and so I could see points where VP was a little off, but mostly what he taught fit with what I read. Being Roman Catholic at the time, I hadn't had much real exposure to the Bible, so I thought it was great. Incidentally, Rhino -- if he hasn't been cast from this site -- ran my first class, something for which he continues to apologize. :) George
  5. "We've got to risk implosion, it's our only chance!" "It's never been done." "It's a theory. It's possible. We may go up into the biggest ball of fire since the last sun in these parts exploded but we gotta take that one in 10,000 chance!" "What is it?" "Nothing but gravity increase, sir. Like the planet reached out and yanked at us." "Compensate." "Take D'Artagnan here to sickbay!" George
  6. --- ANN LUCY --- I'm not up on rappers, either. George
  7. Sadly, I don't recognize the baseball player or the pink-haired woman. George
  8. Okay. I think we need a picture of Cathy. It's been a while three pics, need two names (sort of) George
  9. Of course, to counter-balance the wisdom of putting all my IRA into cash, I bought 1000 shares of Dow Chemical stock right before Christmas. At $20/share, and the fact that Dow had never lowered its dividend in its history, I couldn't resist the 8.8% dividend yield, figuring that, sure, the stock would probably go down a little, but it would be essentially an 8.8% CD until the stocks went back up. And, after all, the news media had declared the deal with the Kuwaitis as "done." Naturally, about four days later the Kuwaitis backed out, leaving Dow, with its figurative nuts in its hand, trying to figure out how to handle the purchase of Rohm & Haas, which Dow lawyers had made so airtight they couldn't back out. Well, I did get one dividend at the original rate, though by that time, the stock was trading at about $14. When it hit about $10, the dividend was cut by two-thirds. So now it's a 3% dividend yield on my investment, but the stock value has lost about two-thirds of its value. On the other hand, if anyone wants to buy now (at about $6.75),the dividend yield is 8.8% again. ;) George
  10. About a year ago, I put my 401k all into the cash fund. When I "retired" last summer, I rolled it all into an IRA. The fund manager suggested a more aggressive portfolio, but I thought the market still seemed a little too volatile. I made about 2.5% last year, but I did make money. George
  11. Was that some sort of TV movie? George
  12. On the other hand, Bathsheba bathed where David could see her. I'm guessing that other options were available. George (No, this doesn't mean that every woman who is coerced was "asking for it." Bathsheba might have been, however.)
  13. Rooster hits the washboard -- people just gotta smile! George
  14. "Remember, Dad, you treat a woman like a person, then a princess, then a goddess, then a person again." "The spirits tell me your little pants are on fire." "Oh, you mean my pilot's license? That's out back in the Cessna. Or perhaps you're referring to my license to kill. Revoked. Trouble at the Kazakhstan border. I could give you the details but then I'd have to kill you, which I can't do because my license to kill has been revoked." 1 "Hey, we found prints." 2 "Was he in a little red corvette?" 3 "Under the cherry moon?" 1 "FINGER prints!" "The chips say you're a cheater, cheater pumpkin eater!" "Good morning detectives, collecting money for the Policeman's ball?" "We don't have balls." "I honestly have no response to that." George
  15. Well, there's a book called "A Wrinkle in Time" (ERIN CLINT THYME), but I don't know of a movie by that name. George
  16. The Waterboy Kathy Bates Fried Green Tomatoes George
  17. AIR IN CLINT TWIG Doesn't sound like a movie I know. George
  18. Or maybe that the ONLY time I've seen him was in "The Dark Knight." George
  19. Neither, though you're closer with the first guess. George
  20. Actually, that wasn't a bad one. I could sort of hear the song in my head, but not enough of it to remember the title. The hard part of this thread is to come up with songs that are almost universally well-known. For old folks like me, that limits it to songs pre-1990 (and really, more like pre-1985). Younger folks might not get songs from the 50's (or even 60's). And C&W songs are generally less known than stuff from the pop charts. George
  21. Well, I DO recognize Erin Moran. And Clint Eastwood. The sprig looks like rosemary, but I'm not sure. Still not adding up to a film title for me. George
