I'm sure if you see one, you'll be able to figure it out. It's like a cassette, except it doesn't go all the way into the machine. George

I'll probably use the other quote later, so I won't give it away now. :)--> George Your turn, Sharon.

Far out, Man!! George

This reminds me of a parody of "The Price is Right" in "Mad" magazine mny years ago. This old guy would win everything by guessing the prices to the exact penny. He never want ed any of the prizes, though; he just enjoyed the "fun" of guessing. Finally, he wins a Saturn V rocket (guessing the price exactly, of course). The producers strap him in and ship him off into space, so that "normal" people can play the game again. Feel free to draw any inference, Tom! George

I deleted my other post. (Hopefully, no one is responding to it as I write this.) Sharon's clue reminds me of this one: There is no bathroom! George

"Logan's Run"? George

That was Kathy singing? Cool!! George

I've never had a problem with credit card debt. I use the "deadbeat" method George A. mentioned. But my stepkids have a bunch. It's been hard, but they've learned a lot about personal discipline. George

Reminds me of a recent "Dilbert" cartoon. The boss wants to by a sensible, envronmentally beneficial car. The salesman convinces him to buy an "Envirocrusher 400": 40 feet high (there's a ladder to the door), weighs ten tons, and runs on owls. The boss asks about obtaining the owls, adn the salsesman says that the noise the "car" makes stuns them so they're easy to pick up and toss into the engine. :D--> George

The song is familiar, but I don't remember a TV show with it as the theme. George

Of course, if you're looking for BAD animation, I have two words for you: Clutch Cargo. Rather than have animators work at making lips move, they actually filmed actors speaking the lines and superimposed their lips on the characters. Even that wouldn't have been so bad had the lips been facing the same way as the cartoon character! Oh, and did anyone else watch the old Krantz cartoons featuring Marvel super-heroes? They were more slide shows than actual cartoons, with the same scenes being used repeatedly and characters moving against backgrounds as if they were one picture sliding over another. Ah, to be a kid again, where such things didn't matter! George

"Yummy, Yummy, Yummy, I've Got Love in My Tummy" by the 1910 Fruitgum Express? George

A fine cartoon, for sure. (I had a Latin teacher in high school that sounded just like him.) I thought the movie adaptation was too serious, but Brendan Fraser was ideally cast. George

"End of Days"? George

Right you are, Mr. P.! I still remember the scene: Gable goes through his whole set of hitching-a-ride strategems without success. Claudette Colbert sticks out a leg, and the next car comes screeching to a halt. As CC explains, "It proves the limb is mightier than the thumb!" George

And since hiway mentioned the Fleischer studios, how about those wonderful Superman cartoons from the 40's? I still think those wer the best cartoons made. George

At least in the Chicago area where I grew up, the Rocky and Bullwinkle show began and ended with (5 min.?) R&B clips, with a Peabody and Sherman and either a Fractured Fairy Tales or an Aesop's Fables, along with assorted commercial intros. ("A message in a bottle!" "Fanmail from some flounder?" "NO! Areally IMPORTANT message!" Cut to commercial.) I don't remember where I saw Tooter Turtle, though it might have been coupled with Tennessee Tuxedo or ... Magilla Gorilla? George

Rocky and Bullwinkle could appeal to kids with its goofiness and adults with its double-entendres and satire. I mean, "Boris Badenov" was funny enough until I found out that a czar of Russia (the successor of Ivan the Terible) was Boris Gudonov! And let's not forget Capt. Wrong-way Peachfuzz! George

Here's an easier clue (same movie, of course): Why didn't you take off all your clothes? You could have stopped forty cars. George

Doesn't he go back and find out that the girl has been dead for several years? George

I loved the Tooter Turtle cartoon. "Help, Mr. Wisard! Help!" "Oh, Tooter...Trizzle Trazzle Truzzle Trom, time for this one to come home!" George Oh, and Moony.. I KNOW the "It was the best..." line was the opening to "Tale of Two Cities." It was the "It's a far better thing I do.." line that I thought was from Shakespeare.

Darn! This is one of those "ghost lover" songs like "Teen Angel" but I know I won't get it without googling! George

"Dumb and Dumber"? George

I guess with the BOT being the only actual "members," WW's statement is true. Howevr, it's my impression (from the few that I've talked with) that the rank-and-file TWI'ers aren't fanatical. They're carrying out the motions without the emotions. George

That's interesting. I recognized the quote from the audio clip, but I thought it was Shakespeare (Hamlet, or one of those other dreary tragedies). George
