Somewhat off-topic here, but this isn't necessarily true. In fact, I doubt it's generally true, anymore. It's often less expensive to settle than to win. And even if you're in the right, the jury might not see it that way. George

Darn! I knew "Eve of Destruction," but I kept thinking "The End of the World as We Know It." Waysider's tune is hauntingly familiar as well. George

Wasway is correct. George

Ayyy! It's "Happy Days" (daze), Dooj. Richie Cunningham always sang "Blueberry Hill" when his romantinc attempts seemed to be succeeding. If someone else would like to post one, go ahead; otherwise, I'll post one this afternoon. George

"To try or not to try. To take a risk or to play it safe. Your arguments have reminded me how precious the right to choose is. And because I've never been one to play it safe...I choose to try." George

I found mah thri-ill, on Blueberry Hi-ill.... George

Correct. I wanted to use teh scene where Rusty is making out with a German girl and bells ring signalling a catastrophe. To which Russ immedietely jumps up "DAD!!" I just couldn't find the girl's quote that sets it up. George

The third pic is an ace. Raf is up! George

Not much to say there, Cathy? George

No, why? George

I don't think that I'm going to get this one... George

Okay, I don't remember the title ("The Big Goodbye," maybe?). The Enterprise has to make contact with a species particularly picky about protocol, having done something unmentionably vicious to the last group who had tried to meet with them and inadvertently misspoke a word or two. Anyway, Picard decides to unwind in the holodeck with a Dixon Hill story and is joined by Data and Dr. Crusher. I forget what ensues in there (safeguards get messed up?), but Picard gets out just in time to make it to the bridge and recite a particularly guttural greeting to the aliens. He hits it, and the aliens welcome the Federation. The "Step on it" line is the end of the episode. (Right after Data, also still in costume, begins to recount the adventure: "It was a dark night in the city by the bay...") George

You are correct, of course. George

"I think he's gonna pork her." "He's not gonna pork her." "I think he's gonna." "He may pork her, finish your breakfast." "Aw, there's Buckingham Palace, kids. That's where the Queen lives and works." "She works? What does she do, Dad?" "She queens... And she vacuums." George

Oh, all right. "The Partridge Tennis Club." George

Just FF back then, Brief topless scene, too! My favorite line: "You have an excellent body. May I use it?" George

Good one, Dooj. I loved that show, especially the one where Johhny Bench cameoed as a waiter. Geroge

So close. So DAMN close! George

Sounds like a "Dixon Hill" holodeck NG episode. I'm guessing Picard had his uniform on and explained it by saying he lost a bet. Can't place the episode exactly, though. George

"Star" is fine. New Trier High School serves a large part of the near north suburbs of Chicago, and so there's a large talent pool. Something I suppose I should point out, is that the New Trier Township had so many baby boomers that a second school was built. The old school became New Trier East, and the newer one (which I attended) was New Trier West. By the early 80's, though, the enrollment had diminished enough to necessitate the closing of one campus. Becuase the older campus had more room, it once again became New Trier High School. The newer campus was used briefly as a community college, but was vacant enough to be used in movies. The high school in "Uncle Buck" is New Trier West! A new influx of kids in the 90's prompted the re-opening of the west campus, but now it serves as the freshman campus, while upperclassmen go to the east campus. I don't think any of the stars I listed actually went to New Trier West, though the younger ones might have done their freshman year there. Virgina Madsen is only a few years younger than me, but she went to East. George

"The only reason for a space program is military domination." I got booted for refusing to believe this (among other transgressions). Of course, I had a TC who worked for NASA charting planetary trajectories. No military applications there. I think the reason for a spce program is Psalm 19:1 "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament shows His handiwork." George
