Chicago Queen Latifah Bringing Down the House George

Is this the DS9 episode where Quark thinks he's dying and plans to auction himself off? George

My favorite 1B was probably Willie McCovey, but one I have interesting memories of was, I believe, "Moose" Skowron. He would do the splits taking almost every close throw from short or third. He was tall enough that that extra reach probably gave the Sox (the WHITE Sox, that is) an extra putout or two per game. George

Meet the Fockers Dustin Hoffman Dick Tracy By the way, good to have you here, Son! Have you tried our other games? (Incidentally, it's customary to give others some time before responding to your own last clue.) George

You should be able to get it, Dooj. Big hint: one word, two syllables, proper name. George

Cage, not Cages, but otherwise correct. The pronunciation should be something like la cahzh aw foll. I couldn't think of a better sound match for the "ahzh aw" part. Asia might have been better than ahchoo. You're up, Dooj! George

Roy, Allow me to add my best wishes, as well. You keep Greasespot interesting! God bless you always, George

You obviously do know the answer. I guess we'll see if anyone else knows French. George

I'd guess "Legend" (the Richard Dean Anderson show) or "Peacemakers" (the Tom Berenger show on TNT), but neither of them would have referred to a "space helmet." (Both were set in the late 1800's.) George

?! George

Don't have a cow, man! George

OK, then. X-Men 2 Hugh Jackman Van Helsing George

I seem to remember an announcer named Lloyd Pettit, though nothing much came up in a quick google. Is that who you mean? Also, Cubs and Sox announcers were pretty much interchangeable, back then. If the Cubs were away, and the Sox were at home, lots of times the home game would be televised. And the radio announcers would change places with the TV guys midway through the game. George

Well, good for you! Care to share with the class? George

No. I haven't. George

Batting .750. The second is Vince Lloyd. All were Cubs announcers at one time. Milo felt he was heir apparent to Brickhouse, and when the Cubs spot went to Caray, Milo vamoosed to Houston, where he's been for a LONG time, now. Incidentally, he was the commencement speaker at my step-daughter's college graduation ceremony last month. George

Actually, it's Yeardley Smith. And, unfortunately, the Julie Kavner pic I posted got replaced with the last cartoon, which really gave it away. George

I think it's a safe bet that I haven't seen this one. George

Here's another "picture puzzle." I ask hiway to refrain from answering immediately. What do these six folks have in common? George

I grew up in the Chicago area, so finding day games was never a problem. (When I visit Chicago, I absolutely refuse to go to a night game at Wrigley.) I don't know if it's been mentioned before on this thread, becuase I hardly ever pop in here; but Cubs fans were really spoiled. WGN televised almost every HOME game, along with a good number of away games. It wasn't until I went away to college that I found out how unusual that was. I suppose I could try this in the Nostalgia Thread, but do you recognize these guys: George

Maybe if I change the second clue, you'll get it. George

After five days, I guess it's fair to google. Sadly, the only other person I recognize from "The Notebook" is Gena Rowlands, and I had to google HER to find a movie with ANYONE ELSE I recognized. Gena Rowlands Paulie Bruce Davison George

I would have gotten "Mellow Yellow." This one, I have no idea. George

I agree with wasway. Sounds like "Gilligan's Island." George
