  1. Every light is burnin' In a house across town She's pacin' by the telephone In her faded flannel gown George
  2. Probably time for another clue. Sounds vaguely familiar, but then ALL sitcoms sound vaguely familiar! George
  3. Actually, Pam, if I was correct in my guess (and it turns out that I was), then it's my turn to give a clue. Since you're new here, I'll let it slip, and even cede my turn to you. Your quote sounds like a Next Generation episode. I'll guess "First Contact." George
  4. Dooj, Dooj, Dooj.... "A Chorus Line"? George
  5. Chas, I also appreciate your husband's stand. Whereas it is not essential that everyone be able to grasp non-Euclidian geometry or multi-variable calculus, a comprehension of mathematical rigor is essential to the development of logical thinking. When I taught college chemistry twenty-five years ago, the biggest problem I saw was the inability of students to solve problems, not necessarily because they didn't understand logarithms or vectors (though this contributed to the problem), but more because they couldn't logically attack a problem. Another semester of geometric proofs in high school would have helped, I bet. If I'm not mistaken, it was a popular TV talk show host(ess) who declared a few years ago that students shouldn't have to learn arithmetic because cheap calculators are available. What good is a calculator if one doesn't understand the fundamental concepts of mathematics? If one doesn't understand addition, why would he even know to hit the "+" button (unless, of course, the only question he ever gets is of the form "How much is 213 + 599?")? How would he handle "If you have 213 jelly beans, and I give you 599, how many would you have?" Of course, grammatical rigor has been abandoned, as well; don't get me started on that! George
  6. "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-a-Lot? (Guessing WW's clue.) George
  7. Sounds like a real long version of the "Lassie" theme to me, Sudo. George
  8. It is possible, of course, that that particular line was used in more than one film. Perhaps PB will favor us with another quote from the movie? George
  9. Earth Girls Are Easy Julie Brown Spirit of 76 George
  10. It's only dead if you don't post. "The thread is not dead, but sleepeth." George And, who WAS it in Sushi's link?
  11. I couldn't find the quotes with Google; they're probably not exact. Janeway DID say something similar to Chakotay in "Scorpion." but it sounds more like a line she'd say to Seven before the final confrontation with the Borg Queen. If you can find it, WW, please do. Either way, how about giving us a quote to move forward with? George
  12. As many others have pointed out, ROA was a wonderful time to reconnect with old friends, even during the more regimented ones. (There was also a bit of morbid curiosity to see who "was still here.") The babes. I was single; and there was a plethora of beautiful women who, thanks to August in Ohio, wore short-shorts, tank tops, etc. Of course, when I moved to Texas, it was like that all the time! I usually enjoyed the teachings, except for LCMS later rantings and the time I was in the "Way Chorale Internationale" sitting on bleachers while VP taught essentially the whole story of Joseph! I enjoyed singing in the Way Chorale Internationale (but see above). I made my first marriage proposal at a ROA. (She said no, but that didn't dampen the experience -- much.) George
  13. I'm sure glad you came back to us, Dot! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! George
  14. Dear Free, The guy's a scumbag, what can I say? Don't feel hurt over losing this loser, feel MAD! Then get over it and find a guy who will be worthy of a sweet, gorgeous, Christian woman like you. I have a lot of female friends, but they all know I'm married to a wonderful woman -- because I tell them! I pray that your heart will be healed soon. George P.S. I don't know if Kansas has a website like THIS , but it might help you "check out" any other guy who might come your way.
  15. If my wife weren't so wonderful, I'd wish I were single! NICE photo!
  16. After five days, I google. Diane Keaton Father of the Bride Martin Short George
  17. I answered this last night, but my post didn't get in there. A favorite of mine: "The Pretender." Suda, you post one! George
  18. Right! (MOO + NOVA + PARROT + DOOR) Go, Rhino! George
  19. I PM'ed eihwaz. if he/she doesn't reply, we'll google adn get on with it. George
  20. I think that all the fans in the stands should dress like the Chief. (If the Devil had known, he would never have killed Chief Illiniwek...) George
