FYI, I will be computer-free over the weekend. I'm sure you'll all struggle along without me. George

Are these three actors in a movie? George

Correct. With more power hitters and smaller ballparks, inside-the-park home runs are not as common as they once were. (Some balls hit in Forbes Field are STILL rolling...); but they do happen. The Reds have two of them already this year. Peralta's HR came when the outfielder crashed through the fence into the bullpen. His time around the bases was slower than most regular HR trots. Obviously, rounding the bases because of an error (or more) doesn't count (often called a "Little League HR"); but misplayed balls or balls lost in the sun (or, in one case, fog) do count. There was even one walk-off, inside-the-park grand slam. Roberto Clemente in 1956 against the Cubs at (of course) Fornes Field. Human, you're up George

Back to baseball. This is a fairly rare occurrence in baseball, although it has happened three times already this year. Some interesting occurrences: On August 27, 1977, Texas Rangers teammates Toby Harrah and Bump Wills did this back-to-back. Ichiro Suzuki is the only player to have done this in an All-Star game. On April 6, 2009, Emilio Bonifacio of the Florida Marlins became the first player in 41 years to do this on Opening Day, On July 18, 2010, Jhonny Peralta of the Cleveland Indians took 16.74 seconds to accomplish this. Only 18 players have done this twice in one game. What is this occurrence? George

John Quincy Adams was the first President elected in the House of Representatives, as no one had a majority in the Electoral College, so I'm guessing it was he. George

This streaming show is based on a series of novels. Two movies have also been based on the novels. The actor playing the title character in the series is about twice the size of the actor playing him in the movies. Although the movie actor is a well-known action star, I find the TV actor more believable in this role. George

Indeed. George

Was that intentional, or did you just not understand the lyrics? Sometimes we hear very weird things. George

Nope. But you'll probably get it now: Tomorrow Never Dies Tale of the Mummy Fast Food The Cherry Orchard Dracula 2000 Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life The Phantom of the Opera Beowulf & Grendel The Ugly Truth Hunter Killer 300 London Has Fallen George

"The Streak" by Ray Stevens. George

Actually, it's Kevin Costner talking TO Susan Sarandon. George

Spider-Man Homecoming Michael Keaton The Flash George

Yes. George

And this thread is fond of this line. Silence of the Lambs "Well, I believe in the soul, the c-ck, the p-ssy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated cr-p. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days." George

No, though she was in Dracula 2000 (perhaps why you thought of her). A lot of TV, but not many movies. Tomorrow Never Dies Tale of the Mummy Fast Food The Cherry Orchard Dracula 2000 Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life The Phantom of the Opera Beowulf & Grendel The Ugly Truth George

Tomorrow Never Dies Tale of the Mummy Fast Food The Cherry Orchard Dracula 2000 Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life George

Some of those characters sound vaguely familiar. I hope you haven' thit the "giveaways" yet. George

Tom Sizemore? George

Moby Dick is correct. George

Reminds me of "Life is a Rock" (long list of names) but clearly that's not this one. George

Dracula "Call me Ishmael." George

It is. Burgess Meredith had all the funniest lines. George

No. Morse Code usually uses SOS. I'll just flip the cards here. French for "Help Me!" is "M'aidez!" pronounced "mayday" and usually spelled as such. FREE POST (Of course, I "borrowed" Human's spot, so he should go if he has one. George

That's the one. I thought that maybe San Antonio would lead people to guess heroes from the Alamo, but Teddy Roosevelt (a major, at the time) enlisted over 1500 Rough Riders in the bar of the Menger Hotel. George
