  1. Sorry. I usually go two days, just to see if anyone checks in. This is one that Cindy! or hiway (and others) shoudl get. "It's a real mess down here, but we'll get to work on it." "I'm sure you'll perform your usual miracle." "What's the Zakdornian word for 'mismatch'?" "Challenge! We do not whine about the inequities of life. And how you perform in a 'mismatch' is precisely what interests Starfleet. After all -- when one is in the superior position, one is expected to win." "Play a machine? Why should I wish to?" "I don't blame you. It's no fun going into a game when you know you're going to lose." "But I wouldn't lose, and now you're no doubt going to make me prove it to you." "I was hoping that you would agree to play me in a game of Strategema." "Although I am intrigued by the audacity of your request, I can't fathom why you wish the encounter." "I enjoy a challenge." "Very well, an opponent of 'limited dimensions' can often be quite diverting." "I have wagered heavily in the ship's pool that you will take him past the sixth plateau." "What if I don't?" "I will be... irritated." "Despite their reputations, this Zakdorn does not appear to be a very formidable warrior." "In the game of military brinksmanship, individual physical prowess is less important than the perception of a species as a whole. For over nine millennia potential foes have regarded the Zakdorns as having the greatest innately strategic minds in the galaxy." "And no one is willing to test that perception in combat." "Exactly." "Then the reputation means nothing." "When you're out-gunned, out-manned, and out-equipped --what else do you have left?" "Guile." "Join me." George
  2. Right, of course. Being the sentimental slush that I am, I always get a little misty at "Merry Christmas, mein Freund!" Go, WW. George
  3. Whenever I have a song stuck in my head, I drive it out with "Blame it on the Bossa Nova." Unfortunately, then I can't get THAT song out! George P.S. Here's a hint: ALL the verses begin with "Goodbye."
  4. This one is tough to do (lyrics that don't give the title away). And then with a roar they were both on their way Each knowing they'd meet on some other day George
  5. This was a one-hit wonder. "Goodbye,Emil, my trusted friend..." George
  6. Sorry. "Thank you for the cookies. I look forward to tossing them." "You could be a boxer or something. I could be your manager." "No, I could never fight for money." "Well that's fine. You fight, I'll keep the money." "Excuse me? Excuse me. Never sleep with that man, never loan him money, and never believe a word he tells you. That's free advice." "Morning, Agnes." George
  7. As well as Carole King, Neil Diamond wrote a lot for the Monkees. In fact, I believe ND's biggest hit as a songwriter was "I'm a Believer." You're up, hiway! George
  8. three pics. need the guy's name George
  9. This is a tough clue for an easy show. You have to know the actress' name. George
  10. Was it "Baby, It's Cold Outside"? It was recorded by a bunch of folks from the 1940's to the 2000's. George
  11. I'll take up waysider's offer: "The local rock group down the street is trying hard to learn their song." George
  12. "Guiding Light"? "Ryan's Hope"? No, wait..."As the World Turns" George
  13. It's late. I'll come up with something tomorrow. George
  14. I guess I didn't get the "amp" clue. I doubt many use tubes anymore... George
  15. This film didn't get the attention it deserved. "Second Hand Lions" George
  16. The system wouldn't let me vote on the first poll but not the second. If shouting is considered "violence" and "nonlethal force" then I would consider it acceptable. I would only strike my spouse if she actually threatened my life. George
  17. Since my Dad's name was George, I grew up using my middle name, Michael. Only my family and very old friends call me that anymore, so it's funny when my brother comes to visit and talks with my friends. He always calls me George, but there's a beat there where he has to catch himself! :) George
  18. I believe that that's one of the "Pirates of the Carribean" flicks. The first, if I'm not mistaken. George

  20. I haven't watched a show regularly on BBC sing Fawlty Towers. George
