Not ringing any bells here. either. George

I'm about Suda's age, and I can't think of a show that's been on that long. Is this some syndicated show? George

Rascal (and cman, for that matter), Unless you actually happen to know WTH, I'd say that was a pretty serious accusation. He has a different point of view. You don't agree with it. I don't agree with it. That doesn't make him an abuser. George

Thanks to all of you. I suppose the Countess has to get most of the credit, though. John was already in college when she and I got married. I like to think that I provided SOME sage advice during the last ten years though. :) George

Radar, I couldn't find a big, blue face for this, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! (and only 79?) George

I guess there a lot of different sub-categories for "novelty" songs. There are the goofy, original songs, like "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" and "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer"; the parody songs, like "Walking in Women's Underwear"; and the "anthology" songs, like "Santa and the Flying Saucer." Any of them could be an acquired taste, I suppose. Cued by Sudo's post, I tried to find a link to "Batman and His Grandmother," which I remember fondly from my youth. Sadly, I could only find m3u files. (It would take someone of Sudo's calibre to transform for us -- hint.) It turns out Dickie Goodman did ALL of them: "Santa and the Flying Saucer," "Santa and the Satellite," Batman and His Grandmother," "Mr. Jaws," et al. (Oh, and bulwinkl's revised guess is still three years to late.) George

Any more ridiculous than the Devil taking a female form to engage in a lesbian encounter with Eve? :blink: :blink: George

Taxi = "cab" "Unbreakable" is correct. And it's not JUST Catherine Bell's "twins" that I find attractive. George

I seem to remember a questionnaire given out either before or after the class. One of tghe questions was "Where do you think sex should be taught: at home, at school. or in church?" (Or words to that effect -- it's been over 25 years since I've seen it.) I thought that in church would be appropriate, at least to supplement what the youngsters would learn at home. I still do, but I would have to scrutinize the teacher a bit more carefully... George

We haven't had a picture of this babe in a while, so... Four pics George

"Perhaps the biggest disappointment in my life is that the Bajoran people still refuse to appreciate how lucky they were to have me as their liberator. I protected them in so many ways, cared for them as if they were my own children. But to this day, is there a single... statue of me on Bajor?" "I would guess not." "And you'd be right. Take Captain Sisko, an otherwise intelligence, perceptive man, hmm? Even he refuses to grant me the respect I deserve. Laugh all you want. History will prove me right." "War is such thirsty work, wouldn't you agree?" "Perhaps if you didn't talk so much, your throat wouldn't get so dry." "Cannon to the right of them, Cannon to the left of them, Cannon in front of them, Volley'd and thunder'd." "Storm'd at with shot and shell, Boldly they rode and well, Into the Jaws of Death, Into the mouth of hell... Rode the six hundred." "How does that poem end, Chief?" "You don't want to know." "You can't do that." "Why not?" "Because! A true victory is to make your enemy see they were wrong to oppose you in the first place; to force them to acknowledge your greatness." "Then you kill them?" "Only if it's necessary." "I had no idea." "Congratulations, Captain! You wanted them angry, they're angry." "I'd like to toss that smug little Vorta out the nearest airlock. And his Founder with him." "Now, now Damar. That's no way to talk about our valued allies. Not until this war is over, anyway." "One ship against an entire fleet... That's a helluva plan B." "The only reason they haven't killed me yet, is that I'm part of their victory celebration. (reciting) 7:00: Dukat makes a speech. 8:30: Cake and raktajino. 8:45: Execute the Ferengi." "We'll go back to Cardassia and be happy." "She loved you, you know." "I never knew why. Now, I guess, I never will." "She doesn't appreciate what it means to be Cardassian, or to be your daughter!" "But she is my daughter! That may mean nothing to you, but it means EVERYTHING to me!" George

I bet it's Waiting to Exhale George

"----- to Cross the Street"? George

YES! Thank you, Irisheyes. Your turn. George

I ran out of time at 1120 grains. Final level 42. best level 47. George

The first and third pictures are not showing up for me. George

Quite by accident, I'm sure; but yes, you won. George

Getting free medical advice is easy. Anyone can give that! It's GOOD medical advice that's the trick! George

You got it. "Mad Men" aired on AMC recently. It was about a Madison Ave. ad firm in 1960. EVERYBODY smokes (ALL THE TIME); EVERYBODY drinks (almost all the time); and sexual harrassment is expected, if not required. In other words, the good, old days. Well-filmed and well-acted. I think the next season begins in the summer. George

Yes, Rocky! Happy Birthday, and many more (at least, until "time shall be no more..."). George

Yes. Inorganic Chemistry, University of Illinois, 1982. George

A clarification on waysider's "no googling" rule: that applies only to those trying to guess the clue. The one posting the clue may google to make sure the lyric is correct. I remember posting a line from "Donna the Prima Donna." I always thought it was "She walks the beaches like Zsa Zsa Gabor." It turns out the line really was "She wants to be just like Zsa Zsa Gabor." :) George

Try another word for "angry." George

My stepson John had his thesis defense Tuesday afternoon. He's in a combined M.D./Ph.D. program at the University of Texas Medical School in Houston. His mom and I went up to Houston to see the seminar he gave on his research, and I couldn't have been prouder. He's done some excellent work on the use of Gleevec to kill and inhibit a particular type of stomach cancer, and he presented it skillfully. After the open session, he had a closed session with his committee, who, of course, passed him. As soon as all his paperwork clears, he'll be officially a Ph.D. He will continue to work in the same research group as a postdoc until August, when he'll start his last year of med school. He's not only the first Ph.D. from Prof. Trent's group, but he's the first Ph.D. from the UT Sarcoma School! George

The only real rule for picking a song is that it had airplay (as opposed to being an album cut). If no one gets it after one lyric, try some more (though it's obviously unwise to choose a lyric that contains the title). If no one still gets it, you can always give the answer and post another song. Don't be in too much of a hurry, though. Not everyone looks here every day. George P.S. I've posted several lines and given other clues to the latest "Name That TV Show." No one seems to have gotten it yet, although it's a current show that's fairly popular. If you haven't been over there, check it out. I also recommend "Name That Flick," "Name That Star Trek Episode," and "Triple Movie Links." The rules are usually in the first couple of posts. The "Pictionary" threads are fun, too!
