Actually, if I know the answer, I usually just blurt it out. Though I remember ads for Ladder 49, I haven't seen the movie, so it didn't register at all. The Gold Rush clue (49) was a good one! George

Hard to believe I was a TC for almost 20 years! George

What? No DoveStDove? George

I didn't recognize that last tune, so I went back to the beginning of the thread to see if it was revealed. If it was, I didn't get that far, because I was reading all the old Superman stuff. Too bad I wasn't around when the thread started! George

I thought they were the ones pulling people off the ladder! George

Ala, I have no idea who that was; but he's sure a mellow fellow! George

"Enemy Mine"? George

Now that College Football is over (of course, it was over for the Illini in September), we can get back to bsketball. The Ilini had an admittedly light non-conference schedule, but Michigan State was a real test, and the Screaming Illeenee kicked butt! MSU was held to half its usual score, and Dee Brown racked up 34 for Illinois. Again, no one's really expecting a repeat of last season; but, so far so good! 15-0! George

Fooled me. I thought it was "Stand By Me"! George

Peter Pain! Pretty devious. But I like it! George

Sharon is correct. (There was actually an earlier version of "Over and Over," but the DC5 version is teh best known.) Do it, Babe! George

I had all the DM travel comics as well. I remember the Hawaiian trip the most. (Barking sands, etc.) I also had DM's Baby-Sitter's Guide. It was hysterical. There was a list of all the types of kids you might have to baby-sit. My favorite was the cry-baby. How to handle one: "Smack him. What have you got to lose? He's already crying!" I think the major problem with the TV show was that Jay North was too old. On the other hand, it would be hard to find child actors precocious enough to play Dennis, Margaret, Joey, etc. at the appropriate comic-strip age. I think Dennis was suppposed to be about five. Also, in the comics, the dog was called Ruff. I forget what it was on TV, but it wasn't Ruff! George

It's all about being logged in at the right time! This exchange may not be word-perfect, but I'm sure it's almost right: "In the last few minutes you've exhibited every excrementory function!" "I haven't sneezed yet." "Sneezing is expiatory, not excrementory." George

"When Harry Met Sally"? George

Thanks, WhiteDove. I knew tht a thread like this has been around. As one might guess, my name is George St. George. I've been reading comic books for almost 44 years now, and my favorite character has always been Green Lantern. George

"Hey Mr. Wil----son!!!!!!" George

I know I've seen this, too. "Old School"? George

Well, there was a movie whose English titile was "Impossible Love," but it was Romanian, so I doubt that's it. (Raf isn't THAT devious!) George

I recognized it immediately. (Which is impressive, since I haven't even seen a rerun of the show in decades!) I also used to read THIS comic book! Amazing how much trouble a little boy can get into. George

She would wait and wait and wait and wait for her steady date. George

Medical expenses are deductible after some large percentage of your income (I think it's 7%). So if you spend more than 7% of your (gross) income on coffee, maybe you should give it a try. Of course, you'd probably need Valium after all that coffee! George

Sha-a-a-a-ron!! You're u-u-up! George

Just a little nitpicking: "tonne" and "ton" are different units of weight. A "tonne" (or "metric ton") is 1000 kg, or 2200 lbs. George

Daydream Believers George

I didn't get Cowgirl's song, because I can't open mp3's at work (at least not from bluzecentral). I was certain I hadn't seen the show Sudo posted a link to until I saw the other clues. The show DID stink, although I thought Erin M. was pretty hot. George
