In general, I try to give clues that have the proper consonants, or reasonably close representations. For example, I might treat "d," "t," and "th" interchangeably, or "f" and "v." (One of the puzzles I'm proudest of was an early one I did with MIRROR + (Bill) CULLEN + (a ) DIRTY (face) + FORTS + TREAT (Williams) for "Miracle on 34th Street.) Rhyming sounds, or parts of words (like a banana for the sound BA), only make the puzzle more confusing. I have no problem with PIE-TEA for "party,' though I probably would have used Jack Paar (or the part on a man's head) for the first syllable. The letter "F" and a beehive would have worked for "of five"; but those are just my preferences. I'm not trying to discourage anyone from playing! I'll have one up later today. George

Sounds pretty silly, but I haven't seen it. George

You believe rightly. George

bulwinkl, you're up! George

Amazingly, I can hardly find any other quotes. Would it help if I mentioned that three of the main characters were called Bud, Kitten, and Princess? George

Oh, Ra-affff! George

There will be some "pre-party" hanging out at ex10's on Friday, but nothing before that. George

I seem to remember four in the Atlantic simultaneously a few years ago. Only one threatened land, though. George

Was there a lyric in here somewhere? George

LEAN HATCHET/AXE RAT/MOUSE WEST/LEFT ??? George

I guess my only question is, was he offered the A&M job before or after the other gig? George (There's the makings of a great Aggie joke, here.)

'Tis the season. George

Only if you consider forty-five years "old"! It's "Donna the Prima Donna" by Dion. Someone else go ahead. George

Sounds like "Party of Five" but I don't get the last clue. George

Sounds like the NG episode where a Ferengi doctor explains metaphasic shielding. He's murdered by another alien who pretends to be murdered himself. (His physiology allows him to simulate death.) I don't remember the tennis elbow stuff, though. George

Remember that some GS-ers need to remain anonymous, so a webcam is probably out. George

1st two lines I met a girl a month ago; I thought that she would love me so. George

It seems that the impact in LA will be less than predicted, especially in New Orleans. Hopefully, the folks who evacuated won't decide to ride out the next one. As is usually the case for storms making landfall in LA, we're getting a nice day in Houston, with a pleasant northerly breeze. :) Gustav might be a big rainmaker for Dallas, though. George

As opposed to the many "degrees" of angelic power taught in many Christian circles today, TWI basically taught three: angels, archangels, and cherubim, which are actually found in the Bible. Actually, only Michael is called and archangel, though TWI gave Gabriel and Lucifer that status as well. Angels are messengers (which the Greek angelos means) and support staff (ministering to Jesus in the Garden, etc.). Cherubim are spirit beings quite differnt from angels. When angels appear, they look like men; cherubim hang around the throne of God to give Him praise and look like composite animals. George

That's a bit of an exaggeration. Anyone who PRAYED TO Jesus was supposedly talking to the "other Jesus" (2 Cor. 11:4), a devil spirit. George

Exercise is good, especially something strenuous (running, weight lifting). George

There is nothing new under the sun. Or in the Cafe. Why not drop by the game threads in the Reading Room? George

We let youngsters live because they're cute. We let adults live becuae they contribute to society. We let teen-agers live because it's the law. George
