  1. "The Silver Words"? "The Silver Dictionary"? ?? George
  2. Here's a different version of the same puzzle: George
  3. You folks aren't looking at the Properties, are you? George
  4. No on both counts, but close... Good to "see" you Sharon! George
  5. This might be a little tricky: two pics George
  6. If you don't like rock and roll think what you've been missing. Let's all start to have a ball; everybody rock and roll. But if you like to rock and stroll, come on down and listen. George
  7. This will probably slow us down again, but Earth Girls Are Easy Julie Brown Spirit of 76 George
  8. Sorry. I guess his answer was lost in the post. New tune later. George
  9. Actually, I think I just got it. Brad Pitt is Jennifer Aniston's "ex" "The X-Files"? George
  10. Fran Drescher The Beautician and the Beast Timothy Dalton George
  11. Wasway's is "Bungle in the Jungle" by Jethro Tull (one I posted a few months ago, actually). Now, back to WordWolf's song, which is our REGULARLY scheduled broadcast.... George
  12. Well, shut my mouth! weathers pitched THREE perfect innings in relief to get the win when Griffey hit a homer in the 12th. Harang only gave up one run, when he balked -- in the eighth. Harang and Wells both pitched nine innings. Almost reminds me of the old Ferguson Jenkins/Bob Gibson duels. George
  13. If the Reds follow the pattern that they have for the last five years or so, they'll trade away productive offensive players for a couple of rag-armed pitchers who will finish with a combined record of 8-20 and an ERA of 4.8. I'd settle for a real closer. Graves was good once, but spending a year in the starting rotation ruined him. Then he turned into a wiseass. After blowing a save adn getting booed, he gave the fans the finger, saying that he only blew one save in eight chances (to that point). Ignoring the fact that he routinely came in in the ninth inning with a three run lead and finished with two runs in and two runners on base, I don't think he had much to brag about. A closer should strike out two batters and get the third to pop up. Weathers has shown some good stuff on occasion, but he's not consistent. Last year, the Reds got Guardado, who did remarkably well with an 85-mph fastball; but he's hurt. It could be a long season. I wonder if Griffey will make it to 600 HR before he's out for the season again. George
  14. "There is a war on. How is it you are heading west?" "Well, we face to the north and, real subtle like, turn left." George
  15. "You will dismantle your ship for the supplies you will need; then I'll crush its empty hull. I have been too patient. I shall be patient... no longer." "Captain, we've got to do something!" "We were doing something, until our brave lady stepped in and saved us." George
  16. Actually, it was Tom who got it. George
  17. I can hear Donald Pleasance saying this about Michael Meyers. "Halloween" George
  18. " It is said that the people are revolting." "You said it! They stink on ice!" That one finally gave it away, for me. Yes, I have seen it. George
  19. A bend of the premise, but certainly no worse than "Big Apple, Big Apple." ;) George
  20. "Birthright." NG, though it crosses over with DS9, as Dr. Bashir helps Data with his problems. Worf hears that his dad was a prisoner in a Romulan camp. He goes there. Instead of finding his dad, he finds a community of Romulans and Klingons working together. He brings some of the Klingons home, promising not to give away the secret to the Klingon/Romulan planet. George (new clue to follow)
  21. Here's one my dad was fond of: You know I can't afford to buy her pearls But maybe someday when my ship comes in She'll understand what kind of guy I've been George
  22. Gonzalez is hitting quite well, actually. (.271, 7 HR, 16 RBI) And I really mean it about the eighth inning. In the last three weeks, the Reds have given up about 30 runs in the eighth inning. They lost both games of a two-game series to Houston by giving up five-run eighths. Last night they lost to Los Angeles by giving up a five-run eighth. They either come into the eighth close, only to watch the opponents run away with it, or come in ahead, only to blow the save. The hitters are performing; the starters (except for the incredibly over-priced Milton, and he's on the DL now) have been acceptable to good; but the relievers have really stunk. (Well, except for the first two weeks when they didn't give up a run.) George
  23. I'm a Reds fan. Never lived there, just liked Jonny Bench when he came up and stuck with the team. If only the Reds could play games that didn't have eighth innings. They'd be at least at .500. I noticed that the Reds have only won one game in the last three weeks where they scored fewer than 8 runs. They need that many to survive the eighth inning! Goerge
  24. "(I Don't Like) Spiders and Snakes" by Jim Stafford, I believe. George
  25. I would guess "Queer Eye," but that's only half the show's title. George
