Well, of course ther ARE other possible points of view, like "Who cares if CO2 is a problem? Tax them anyway!" But I think Rhino gave a fairly broad spectrum of opinions, both for or against a CO2 tax. Consider this a "PULL" question: do you believe taxation is appropriate as a means to get global warming under control? Why or why not? George

two pics. need a name George

Fore-Tea-Leoni-twin-towers Remember, Tea's name is pronounced in two syllables (not like the drink). Got it yet? George

"So, how did you overcome the icing problem?" "Have you ever lost an hour of sleep your whole life?" "I'd be prepared to lose a few with you." "I'm sorry. This is the fun-vee. The hum-drum-vee is back there." "You've been called the Da Vinci of our time. What do you say to that?" "Absolutely ridiculous. I don't paint." "What is going on here?" "Let's face it, this is not the worst thing you've caught me doing." George

John Hannah The Mummy Brendan Fraser George

All right. "Dark Angel." I'll post one later. George

The second guess is closer, but you're missing the third syllable. And remember that I don't always break words with clues. For example, if I wanted to do "I Spy," I would probably use ice and pie, not eye and spy. George

Well, since I started this thread, I don't feel bad about posting here, even if there is another thread for this year! Bon anniversaire, encore une fois! George

Gee, and I didn't even mention that he hangs around all day on his boat! You got it, Raf. George

It seems that you've posted this one before. Is this the DS9 episode with a ship run by hot-shot, gung-ho cadets (or young officers) whose captain has been killed? They pick up Nog and Jake on some sort of rescue and then enlist their aid. George

Someone other than Ghandi drinks his own urine. George

Didn't Walter do a Renewed Mind class? Unless that was the one called Dealing with the Adversary... George

My twig went witnessing at a frat bar on the U of Ill. campus some January. I started talking with a couple of sorority girls (of course) and brought up the Bible. One of them opined, "Isn't this a strange thing to be talking about in a bar?" I asked, "What would you like to talk about?" She said, "I don't know. What we did on our Christmas vacation, or something." "Okay, what did you do on your Christmas vacation?" "Nothing." "Okay, then let's talk about God!" They didn't come to fellowship. And I didn't get their phone numbers. George

Waysider, Sudo is usually our master when it comes to posting songs, etc., and disguising their names (so you can't see what it is when you open it). The way we usually respond is not to come right out and say the answer but to give some clue that says we know what it is but still lets others guess. Then, eventually, someone will give the whole answer. For instance, when Sudo posted these: So looking at the guesses HERE! and HERE! I mentioned the "no brag, just fact" guy and a mod-ern tune. "No brag, just fact." was Walter Brennan's catch line in "The Guns of Will Sonnett." "Mod-ern" hinted at "The Mod Squad." Sudo, how's about giving us another one (and it doesn't have to be an Earle Hagen tune) to see how Waysider fits in? Waysider, if you don't have any idea what Sudo posts, just say so. I wonder if this thread has essentially died off because people are looking but just not responding. :unsure: George

Sounds a little like "Les Miserables." George

I'm always game. We have to figure a way to attract newbies, though. With Bluzeman, Chatty Kathy, and Pirate in retirement we need a few more players! George

That WAS pretty easy. I'd like to point out, though, that I was referring not only to "Wilson" but also the "dentist," an ice skate. OW! :o Take it away, Raf! George

I think the first was Mr. "no brag, just fact." The second seems more mod-ern. George

A lonely guy gets friendly with sporting equipment. George

Nothing, now. When I tried to open it earlier, there was a message saying it was no longer available. As someone once said, "Sowwy." George

And what if the chimp wants to marry a panda? Reminds me of an old joke. A preacher is railing on his congregation for, shall we say, injudicious choices. "I can't believe the abominations among you! Members of my congregation fornicating with sheep, cows, dogs, chickens..." [voice from the back] "Chickens?" George

No, but there is something wrong with the video. :D George

The Countess conjectures "I Spy." I'm inclined to agree. George

So many incidents, so little time! One that I still chuckle about occurred when I was taking LCM's R&E class. I was witnessing in a neighborhood with a young man. When we came to one gate and rang the bell, we waited a couple of minutes; and then a sheepish voice came from behind the gate: "Who's there?" The young man answered,"Jeffrey." It was the truth, of course, but it meant nothing to the guy behind the gate! Well, we spoke with him for a few minutes -- he never opened the gate -- and moved on. George
