  1. That's it (though it is spelled Banacek)! Go, PD! George
  2. Dooj is on the right track for the second clue. George
  3. WG, You're one of the posters who always seems to make sense (and that doesn't mean you always agree with me!). It's good to have you around. Peace, and long life. George
  4. Is it just me, or are the rest of you having trouble posting pictures these days? Let's see if I can find a picture of the guy that doesn't disappear. George
  5. Think Lily Tomlin on "Laugh-In." Come on, gang! George
  6. Here's an even bigger hint: it was one of the NBC Mystery Movie series. George
  7. The Color of Money Paul Newman Blaze George
  8. Only my last set of Corps (Branch Coordinators) were of the "this is how you need to live your life" variety, and they weren't particularly good at it, especially the husband. If his life hadn't been micro-managed from above, I think he would have been an all right guy. George
  9. Star Trek III: The Search for Spock Christopher Lloyd Back to the Future II George
  10. Happy Birthday, Hap! You may be an eco-nut, but it's good to have you here! ;) George
  11. I might have done this one before, but two pics. need to know the guy George
  12. Purple Days, You're not supposed to use the same person the movie was linked to (in this case, Dan Aykroyd). How about trying again, starting from "My Girl"? George
  13. Nope. I moved to Texas because that's where the job I was offered was. I did hook up with the nearest Twig as soon as I could. In the LCM years, local leadership tried to get me to sell my house and move forty miles away so I'd be closer to myh Twig. I opted out, much to leadership's dismay. Ironically, my Twig Leader moved another sixty miles away after that! George
  14. I wish! :) I'm also of the mind that the evidence for CO2-based (i.e., man's fault) global warming is far from conclusive. If I were one of the global warming alarmists, I'd focus my energies on mitigating the effects, rather than trying to stop the inevitable, much like Xerxes having the tide flogged because, darn it, he just should have that sort of power. Build a dike around the US (starting with the Rio Grande). A couple of feet ought to do it. George
  15. "Oh, it's from Long Arrow." "Who's he when he's at home?" "An old friend of mine. He's a Red Indian gentleman." "With a name like 'Long Arrow' I didn't think he'd be Irish." "I speak over two thousand languages, including Dodo and Unicorn. I had a classical education." "You know, bein' is prison is much the same as being on a boat. Except in prison there's less chance of drowning." "If one place is as good as any other, it's high time we decided. Otherwise when we get there, we won't know we've arrived." George
  16. Errr... Purple Days, am I right? George
  17. I think it's "You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman" by Aretha (or the Captain and Tennille), but I'll wait for confirmation before posting another. George
  18. Are you sure you didn't mean to address this to Rhino? Except for the nonsense about the "majority of Americans believe in science and understand that climate change is a threat" it was exactly Rhino's point. As a practicing scientist, I disagree that "belief in science" requires considering "global warming a threat." Adn certainly not anthropogenic global warming. Why is there so much more CO2 in the air than there was in 1950? There are 3 billion more people exhaling, for one. Why not just exterminate half the planet's population? Heck, getting rid of China and India alone would eliminate most of the problem (and you'd have all that coal-burning go away, too)! George
  19. You did it fine. Unfortunately, I haven't seen "My Girl," so I'll have to wait for someone else to carry on. If no one jumps in in about three days, I'll probably google to move it along! George
  20. WTH, Great clip! As soon as the camera panned pack I lost all track of what she was saying (something about God or Jesus, I think); but that girl is HOT! Roy, I think you have a good start here. I pray for your success. George
  21. Kelly LeBrock was a model who became famous with The Woman in Red Gene Wilder Stir Crazy George
  22. There's another picture I could use for the second clue that would make it more obvious, but I'm so impressed with my own cleverness here that I'd rather not do that! Here's a vague hint, though: think "Laugh-In." George
  23. Thanks to all of you! It's been a good day, and made better by the well-wishes of my friends! Chatty: cool cake! The groom's cake at my wedding was almost the same, except that the icing was green all around the symbol. T-Bone: a scientist shronk his family to sub-atomic size and somehow wound up in the ring. GL had to shrink down and get into his own ring to get them out. Back in those days, comic stories rarely filled a whole book (as opposed to today,where a story line may carry through MANY issues). The second story in GL #10 was the origin of GL's oath: "In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might, beware my power -- GREEN LANTERN'S LIGHT! bfh: I thought the reason the Beatles wrote their own birthday song was because the traditional one was copyrighted. Maybe this clip pre-dated their own version? Rhino: I'm in touch with Vonda a lot (and occasionally Donna (nee) 0rcutt); but I haven't seen the $ohmers in about 20 years. Ann Le+@rte's sister Phili$ is an occasional contact. Our overlap in Champaign was only one summer, so most of the folks I remember you haven't met! Oh, and a picture on you "100th birthday" thread reminded me of my 50th. It was hard to convince the Countess to have it at Hooters, until 1) the kids said they were all going and 2) she realized she wouldn't have to cook or clean anything! George
  24. Odd. I know I responded this afternoon. Anyway, WW is correct. A wispy, light-thingy entity draws the Enterprise and a Klingon ship to a planet under false pretenses. The Klingons capture Kirk and landing party but are themselves captured when they transport aboard the Enterprise. The entity helps them escape and keeps them fighting, sice it feeds on hate. It even heals them from mortal wounds just to keep fighting. Eventually, Spock and Kirk figure it out and convince Kang to disarm, as well. A wave of good cheer sends the entity fleeing the ship. You're up. WW George P.S. Michael Ansara played the same character (Kang) in three ST series: TOS, DS9, and Voyager. John DeLancie played Q on TNG, DS9, and Voyager. Were there any others (excluding Maj Barrett as "Computer Voice")? I know Jonathan Frakes played Will Riker on TNG and Enterprise, but did he also play that character on DS9? Tom Riker doesn't count! There are a boatload of characters who played the same character in two series, and several who played different characters in three series, but how many played the same character in three series?
