  1. Great about your mom! Looking forward to meeting you! George
  2. "My officers, the Bajoran engineers, and all their families depend on the shops and services of this Promenade. But if people like you abandon it, this is going to become a ghost town. We need someone to step forward and say, 'I'm staying. I'm rebuilding.' We need a community leader. And it's going to be... you." "Me?!" "You seem to have all the character references of a politician." "Sounds like they're not ready." "Your job, short of violating the Prime Directive, is to make sure that they are." "If you don't take your hand off my hip, you'll never be able to raise a glass with it again." "Oh, I love a woman in uniform!" "This is where the adventure is. This is where heroes are made. Right here... in the wilderness." "This wilderness happens to be my home!" "I didn't mean..." "The Cardassians left behind a lot of injured people, Doctor. You can make yourself useful by bringing some of your Federation medicine to the 'natives'. (sarcastically) You'll find them a friendly, simple folk." "Have you ever served with any Bajoran women?" "No. Why?" "Just wondering." "Doctor, most people in my experience wouldn't know reason if it walked up and shook their hand." "That may be the most important thing to understand about humans. It is the unknown that defines our existence." "Fire six photon torpedoes across their bow." "All we HAVE is six photon torpedoes!" "We won't win this battle with torpedoes." "I suppose you want the office." "Well, I was hoping to say hello first, and *then* take the office, but we can do it in any order you like." [sarcastically] "Hello!" George
  3. Late is better than never. Good show, too! George
  4. I know how to post links. I just don't put songs on my own server and re-name them before posting the links. George
  5. My laptop's sound isn't good enough. I'll have to check again at home. And though I find the proliferation of "reality" shows infuriating, there ARE a lot of shows out there that I like. Mostly sci-fi/fantasy stuff like Heroes and Smallville, but certain cop shows like NCIS, Cold Case, and Numb3rs are fun, too. A new show that I think is quite good but which appears to be headed for oblivion (I think it competes in its time slot with some dancing show) is Journeyman. It is somewhat like Quantum Leap, except that the hero always returns home, doesn't appear as someone else when he goes back in time, and always seems to be in San Francisco. It stars Kevin McKidd, whom I really enjoyed in the HBO miniseries "Rome." George
  6. If this link works, it will take you back to a picture of me and my grandsons from last year. If it doesn't, just go to my Gallery! ;) World's Finest trio George
  7. I didn't think anyone actually said "throughly"! :) George
  8. Yep. Pretty cool. See you soon, George
  9. Happy Birthday, Ham! Keep us laughing! George
  10. My father-in-law hated squirrels. According to my wife, he once drove up over a sidewalk curb to hit one! George
  11. Caligula Peter O'Toole My Favorite Year George
  12. Happy Birthday, David! See you soon! George
  13. We usually only allow one guess per visit, but I'll give it to WW. "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" (Jane Russell wasn't in HTMAM) George
  14. It's a pretty well-known film, if not too recent. This should help. George
  15. "You kept it." "Kept what?" "The flower." "Well, I'm a packrat. I never throw anything out." George
  16. :lol: Now they'll probably mandate "doggie seats" for dogs under 50 lbs! George
  17. Yew, it was Barbarella. Made Jane Fonda famous. George
  18. I always thought that retirement wa wasted on the old. Better to party until you're 35 and then work until you die! As that is not really an option, however, one must consider a lot of variables: How long am I likely to live? How long will my wife live? (Retiring with $50,000 is fine if you expect to live a year!) What is the likelihood of a debilitating illness? (family history, etc.) Am I out of debt? If not, how will I manage what I have? I have a reasonable amount in my 401K, some Social Security due me, some liquid (or liquefiable) assets, and no debt. But I wouldn't want to retire--yet. George
