You got it, TLB! Your turn to post one! George

The "Two-Drink Limit" thread got me thinking (usually, a dangerous thing). We will NOT enforce such a limit at the BBQ, but I will determine if someone has "had enough." To my knowledge, this hasn't been a problem at previous BBQ's, but in those cases many revelers were spending the night at ex10's or close by. I expect a good time to be had by all, including their safe returns home! George

Anyone else? George

Hey, Gorgeous! Have a wonderful day! The Countess and I look forward to seeing you and T-Bone soon! George

"I'm more like my father than I thought. I wanted to be the lawyer he was, the man he was. Turns out we both just like to cheat on our wives." "Look at this. A Christmas card from Rosalyn." "You know, she probably had them sent out by a service and no one thought to notify them that she was dead." "I guess you're right; a Christmas card from the grave." "One thing you can say about Rosalyn, she sure knew how to network." "It's time you people remember whose name is at the top of the letterhead!" "Don't underestimate me, I'm amazing with mums. When I was at High School all of them had crushes on me, it was the daughters I had trouble with." George

Don't know... George

Tom Cruise All the Right Moves Lea Thompson George

Since the doctor was a boy once, that eliminates NG and Voyager. I doubt Phlox would have had a toy bear, and McCoy never talked about his childhood, it must be DS9. I'm going to guess that it's the episode where Maj. Kira's boyfriend needs repeated brain surgeries, becoming more and more robotic, and less and less human, until Bashir convinces her to "pull the plug," so to speak. George

I didn't recognize Mr. Wood, but you really have it, NIS. It was a Jonny Depp movie. Give it another try. George

I tried to find a picture of a cool chef without a name on it. No Luck. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! George

Actually, it was just "Heathers," You're up, Mr. Strange! George

Nor can I... George

Why, you may take the most gallant sailor, the most intrepid airman or the most audacious soldier, put them at a table together- what do you get? The sum of all fears. Colleges typically did not tell you that ninety percent of your education came after you hung the parchment on the wall. People might ask for a rebate. George

A foreign girl catches the eye of a pair of rivals. All three wind up dead. George

Sounds like the original "Airport" George

"The Fantastic Four"? George

Looking forward to seeing you again, too! George

Okay, gang! Here's the basic schedule for the weekend. The main event, of course, is the Saturday barbeque. We'll start serving snacks around 2 PM, with the actual BBQ around 6. Then, general hanging around until you can't stand it anymore. Many of you will be arriving on Friday. The Countess and I would be happy to have you come by after dinner, say, 7:30, for pre-BBQ fun and games. I'm sure ex10 has a number of places in her neck of the woods where you might enjoy dinner; I would be happy to recommend some places in Pearland. (Highway 518 has a wide variety.) Since most of you (it seems) will be staying in The Woodlands, I suggest ending the Friday festivities at midnight to allow you to drive back. Ex10 has graciously opened her home for you on Sunday morning for brunch and fellowship. The exact time probably won't be determined until Saturday night. ;) I suspect that the attendance will be significantly greater than the few names posted here so far. Especially as the day draws closer, I'll need to know how many to prepare for. You can PM me if you don't wish to publicize. See ya! :) George

It was, indeed, "The Natural." Go, Lifted! George

Unless VPW quoted him without citation, the last one is clearly Dickens (A Tale of Two Cities). George

With this particular thread, I'd use VERY well-known movies. Disguising the plot of a virtually unknown movie is like making counterfeit Monopoly money. (To be fair, I have no idea how popular "Stranger than Fiction" was, but I can't recall even hearing of it before now.) George

I remember being in some leaders' meeting (it might have been at an AC or WIB). The gentleman leading my group was a BC in Louisiana. He shared that in one PFAL class he ran, he had to remove a firearm from one of the participants (not by force, just saying the guy didn't need it). I started laughing hysterically, thinking about a guy who thought he might have to shoot his way out of a Bible class! Now a clergy meeting, on the other hand... :blink: To be fair, Nehemiah had armed people building the wall of Jerusalem, and Paul had a Roman cohort protect him from those who plotted to kill him. George

I remember seeing Three Stooges reruns all the time, but I can't remember any Abbot and Costello. Maybe they just didn't run in Chicago. George

Sounds like an HG Wells story. "The Day the Earth Stood Still"? George

Next time, just guess the flick. If you're wrong, you can guess again without having to disqualify yourself! "Batting practice tomorrow, be there!" "I have been. Every day." "You read my mind." "That takes all of three seconds." "My ma urged me to get out of this game. When I was a kid, she pleaded with me. And I meant to, you know what I mean? But she died." "Tough." "Now look at me. I'm wet nurse to a last-place, dead-to-the-neck-up ball club, and I'm choking to death!" "I guess some mistakes you never stop paying for." "You know, I believe we have two lives." "How... what do you mean?" "The life we learn with and the life we live with after that." "Pretty good food, huh?" "Damn good." "You can't spell it, but it eats pretty good, don't it?" George
