No. It takes particularly sharp eyes, though! SHOE + (Red) DUKE + (Faith) HILL = Shoot to Kill. Go, Raf. George

I think you're right, wasway. Of course, we could just wait until tomorrow night to be sure. George

The CEO of our company came to Texas and gave a presentation on our new paradigm. One key slide said: CONTINUOUS PURSUIT OF EXELLENCE Needless to say, I did not point out the irony. George

"Weren't you a blonde when I came in?" "Could be." "I tend to notice little things like that - whether a girl is a blonde or a brunette." "Which do you prefer?" "Well, as long as the collar and cuffs match..." "The scorpion." "One of nature's finest killers, Mr. Wint." "One is never too old to learn from a master, Mr. Kidd." "That's quite a nice little nothing you're almost wearing. I approve." "I don't dress for the hired help. Let's see your passport, Franks." "Occupation: Transport Consultant? It's a little cute isn't it? I'll finish dressing." "Oh, please don't, not on my account." "Hi, I'm Plenty!" "Of course you are." "No! That's my name -- Plenty O'Toole." "Named after your father, perhaps?" George

Both like and as are used in similes, but not interchangeably. Briefly, like is used to compare nouns; as is used to compare verbs. A fuller treatment can be found HERE. Using johniam's example, I could say either "Grammar school was like TWI" or "Grammar school brainwashed us as TWI did." Both are similes. George

I presume that you're joking here, Belle, since I'm sure you know that as can mean "in the same manner" as well as "simultaneously." I'm taking this whole thread with tongue firmly in cheek. I'm not one to nitpick, usually. I wouldn't even tell Chas how to spell avatar! George

That's a bit extreme. It may be no PT Cruiser, but you actually seem rather satisfied with the minivan... George

I don't think this one's been done yet. "I don't know who he is, but he sure talks GLOOMY!" George

Yes. Yes, we are. :D I can't speak for everyone, but you could come to the BBQ this year! George

Like can be a verb ("I like chocolate.") or a preposition ("It smells like chocolate."). It is not a conjunction, although it is often used as (note: not like) one. Use as, instead. George Also note that when a word is used to represent the word itself, rather than its meaning, it is to be italicized or underlined.

Sorry, Belle. I couldn't resist. Please excuse the fact that I do not know how to break up a post into individual quotes. George

Now that wasn't so hard, was it? By the way, Raf, did you get it from the quotes, the characters' names, or the CSI+letter hint? George

Alexander was having trouble with Worf, and Lwaxanna was having misgivings about her wedding. so she took him to a bizarre world (I think it was a holodeck simulation) where they could have fun. Worf was not amused. I'm sure there was also a main plot involving some dire threat to the Enterprise, but I can't remember it. George

I've been reading comic books now for 45 years. I've always thought that Green Lantern was the coolest character. The particular picture is from a painting by Alex Ross (who, coincidentally, is from my home town). 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! George

Sounds like one of Lwaxana Troi's weddings (which never actually come to pass). I think it was the Next Generation one. I think the final scene has Deanna, Lwaxanna, and Alexander enjoying a mudbath. Pan to Worf saying, "So all we do is SIT HERE?" George

How did I miss THIS one? Maybe because I was gone all day. I do hope you had a wonderful birthday! George

Threee pics. You have to recognize the people. George

It's a current TV show. There are four letters in the title, and three of them are C, S, and I. George

I'll try to post one tomorrow. George

Indeed. George

That's fine. Actually, I was thinking someone would use Rob Morrow or Johnny Depp. Anyway... Looking for Mr. Goodbar Tom Berenger Shoot to Kill George

Still not ringing any bells... George

I'm tempted to use Hector Elizondo, but that would bring me back to "Pretty Woman." Come on, there's a MAJOR star in this film, as well as some lesser luminaries. George
