"Das Boot"? George

Ah, yes. another acrostic. I should have realized that there was a reason for all those ramblings about Greek gods. I just assumed you knew it from "give them a hand"! George And I have no idea what WordWolf's song is.

I (finally) saw it yesterday. I thought it was very well done, with all the characters in keeping with their roles in the series. SPOILER ALERT!! I was sad to see the "Shepherd" die, though his was a very minor role in the film. It was especially sad to see "Wash" die. I really enjoyed his relationship with his wife. I guess that viewers of the movie who hadn't seen the series wouldn't have felt the same way, not being as emotionally invested in the characters. Too bad they couldn't have added a couple of "red-shirt" characters to kill off, instead! George

HELLO!!! Quiz here! I realize that this might go better in the Sports forum, but you guys should be able to get SOME of these. Here's another to get you thinking: Crimson Tide Fighting Illini George

Actually, I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised to find that most (or all) of these quirks occur in other "civilized" nations, as well! George

Fine, WW. Since I'm sure you meant "Apocalypse Now," you may post a puzzle. George

"Session 3" by V.P. Wierwille? ;) George And of course, Runaround Sue was correct. I bet Pirate would have gotten the others, too. Where you been, bro?

Linda sort of beat me to the punch; but, yes, effect is used as a verb (though infrequently) as in "to effect a change." (I see it a lot in technical journals.) Affect as a noun is pretty much obsolete. George Note also that when a word is used as the word itself and not for what it represents, then it should be italicized or underlined.

This reminds me of a trivia question: how many NCAA (Division I) teams can you name whose team name DOESN'T end in "s"? Crimson Tide (Alabama) is one. George

You've got all the words within your two tries. Of course, you'll have to "bend" the sounds a bit to get the title. George

Sheeesh!! That was "Gitarzan" by Ray Stevens. Try THIS: I miss her lips, and the smile on her face The touch of her and hand and the girl's warm embrace. George

As Ala suggested, "The Scent of a Woman" had (Al Pacino and) a great tango, but this wan't it. George

It got a LOT of play when it came out (late '60's). One of the best "novelty" songs from a master of the genre. Moony PM'ed me to tell me the answer but that she's too busy studying to post the next clue. Raf apparently knows, but he's not telling. If no one else pipes in, I'll try ANOTHER song tomorrow. George

Don't feel bad, Kiddo! I have no idea what they're talking about, either! :wacko: George

Still not getting it. Sorry. :( George

All right. I'll post another one, then. George

Let's see... Girl named Jane Has a monkey Plays guitar George

I can't believe that Raf and I are the only ones who know this, Here's another verse, making it even EASIER: He's got a girl named Jane with no last name Kinda homely and plain but he loves her just the same Cuz she kindles a flame and it drives him insane When he hears her sing, she really does her thing It's her claim to fame, come on, sing one Jane George

"One More Repossession (And I'll Be out of Debt)" by Perfect Stranger. (See my post in teh "Name that Tune" thread for the lyrics. I had to stop dancing, I was laughing so hard! George

Well, they're all I can stand. All right. THIS should give it away to the rest of you: He's got a pet monkey who likes to get drunky, Sings boogie-woogie and it sounds real funky. Come on, sing one, Monkey. Your go. George

I'm not worried, unless you use BIG RED LETTERS! George

Bigamy: having one wife too many. Monogamy: see "bigamy." George

WW, You may comparing apples and oranges here (or at least oranges and tangerines). I don't know how a professional lighting system would compare with the lights my dad used to film super-8 home movies. Also, light intensity diminishes as the square of the distance from the source. So, lights four times as powerful would give the same illumination if they were twice as far away. VP's set was probably larger than my living room. George

Sox/Cards. (Cards win in 6.) George

Pirate, that means it's your turn! George
