The PC weenies win again The end of an era George

Jonny/Depp Robert/Reed/Mike/Brady dollar/seal ?? George

When I was in graduate school, a visiting British professor came to work in our lab. He'd ask, "'Ave you a 'gum bung'?" which I eventually decoded to a "rubber stopper." He'd ask for a "retort 'older": ring stand. I almost felt like having him draw pictures! And, of course, there's the pronunciation thing. Even when they're not adding syllables (aluminium), the emphasis is usually on the wrong one (ca-pill'-ary instead of cap'-illary); and the vowels were wrong (mee-thile instead of methyl). What's wrong with them, anyway?! George

I also gave up giving up things for Lent for Lent. Mark, maybe you can bring me up to speed on present RC requirements. The last time I checked, Ash Wednesday and Good Friday were days of fast and abstinence. No meat, and "fasting" meant only three meals that day, the largest of which being more than the other two together. (It was intended that one had one light meal and two others just to maintain bodily strength, although one could fulfill the letter of the law by having two decent meals and then glutting oneself at the third!) Also, are Fridays in Lent still days of abstinence? George

And rightfully so. Don't recognize the voice, but it's not very distinctive. I'll be interested to see who it is! George

"Mister Parador" is not correct, though you're getting close. George

Correct, Number 6. You may proceed. George

The last three syllables are one word. In fact, you're saying it with a French accent! :) George

You're not seeing the first picture, of a cow lowing. George

No guesses? George

four images George

Evel Knievel is a "Daredevil." I presume Tom is responding "Ay Chihuahua!" George

Got to be a Voyager episode. The series finale? George

I was thinking of Little Richard, but I have no doubt that the Beatles covered it. Go, Suda! George

You got it, eihwaz1 (let me guess... "I was one"?)! Welcome to Greasespot, and welcome to "the game room"! The title of the episode was "Acquisition," but you described it correctly, and that's all we need. Please go ahead and post a line or lines from a ST episode. (We're excluding the cartoon, but all the other series are fair game. You might want to peruse the thread to make sure you don't use one that's already been done.) George

Well, actually, there WAS a movie called "Over the Top," but I'm sure Raf means it isn't the answer to his puzzle. George

"I compared 3 versions of the lyrics when posting the quote." That was industrious of you! "I woke up this morning ---- was not in sight. I asked my friends about her, But all their lips were tight!" George

Not even waiting for confirmation... Three pics. George

"Big, Bad John" wasn't in first-person, thogh he did have a big right hand that sent a Louisiana miner to the promised land! George

The episode title is actually in the first quote. Come on, take a guess! George

"Sixteen Tons" by Tennessee Ernie Ford? George

Is that Mai Zetterling? At any rate, I'm sure the answer is "All My Children." George

Right, PB! Your turn. George

Correct! I admit that I haven't watched the show much, but it's pretty cute. Final episode tonight. George

Du bist Korrekt, mein Herr! George
