  1. Get well soon, Bro, so you can celebrate another 50 or so! George
  2. I am so old that I'm thankful for grey hairs. At least they're not GONE! George
  3. I'm not sure if this is a "gem" or not, by I love the sentiment! Imagine, from the Greasespot Cafe Test: George
  4. Just a hunch, but I bet the fact that everyone left was used to show how spiritually off they were (not how spiritually off the leader was!). George
  5. In this thread, Sharon, the quotes don't have to be from the same episode, just the same show. I'll wait and see if someone new jumps in. The second quote DOES make it pretty obvious! :) George
  6. Suda, are up to posting one now? George
  7. Ummm, that means it's yor turn, Raf... George
  8. This song's not on my play list, either. George
  9. Interesting point, but lousy Latin. In governs either the accusative case, in which case it is rendered "into," or an ablative, in which case it is rendered "in." Caecus is the masculine, singular, nominative form of the adjective; and terrae is the nominative plural, the genitive singular, or the dative singular form of the noun terra. Assuming the meaning was to be "In the land of the blind, a one-eyed man is king." it should be In caecorum terra, luscus rex est. I've seen patria (country) used instead of terra (land) for this proverb: In patria caecorum, luscus rex est. (Or, because word order is not essential in Latin, "Caecorum in patria, luscus rex est.") Interfector Draconum :)
  10. Definitely! Have a great one (and many more)! George (And it's good to see Dooj back!)
  11. I don't know what comparisons there are between Sandra and Keanu, other than they bothe have average looks and average talent. Anyway "Miss Congeniality"? George
  12. David Niven The Pink Panther (the old one) Peter Sellers George
  13. Ah, it's the OLD "Running Scared." Darlanne Fluegel Tough Guys Burt Lancaster George
  14. A Trojan virus allows someone else access to her computer. It's a lot more serious than someone simply posting junk under the name Doojable. George
  15. Not quite. To accuse FALSELY someone of rape, etc., is slander (unless it's in a written medium, in which case it's libel). Even then, to prosecute someone for slander or libel requires that the alleged slander involve malicious intent. If someone is simply mistaken, his comments cannot be construed as slander. George
  16. I know I'll need another quote or two. And now I've got to figure out whom Tom considers the female Keanu Reaves! :) George
  17. I guess that the next time I drop in on somebody around breakfast time, I'd better bring tap shoes. Never know when they'll be required! George
  18. Go ahead. I googled the line. I do remember the scene, but it wasn't Dustin Hoffman in "Kramer vs. Kramer"; it was Al Pacino in.... George
  19. Perhaps you live on an alternate earth with a different set of definitions. A crime is an act committed or omitted in violation of a law forbidding it or commanding it and for which punishment is imposed upon conviction. (American Heritage Dictionary, 2nd ed.) The fact that someone is not punished for a crime does not mean that the act was not criminal. Murders and robberies go unsolved. Battery and rape go unpunished because the victim was intimidated or ashamed. They're still crimes, in THIS USA. George
  20. I didn't say that I didn't get (or send) PM's. I just don't seem to be part of the "underground" here. And if the tongue-in-cheek wasn't obvious, I really don't feel like using PM's as a back-biting tool. George
  21. WD, Although it would be swell to catch all crimes on videotape, it just doesn't work that way. If someone is raped in a back alley, is it not a crime because there were no witnesses other than the victim? George
