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

Since I posted other clues for "Sleeper" a few weeks ago, that shouldn't come as a surprise! This movie isn't my usual fare, but I thoroughly enjoyed it: What she needs is a guy that'd take a sock at her once a day, whether it's coming to her or not. If you had half the brains you're supposed to have, you'd done it yourself, long ago. George

Well, at least now I understand what you meant about the last picture possible representing the whole title. George

Sounds like "Sleeper" right before Woody explains that Howard Cosell was a form of capital punishment! George

I don't know ... how about the "Changed" film? ;)--> George

After praying for a day or two, I started e-mailing and calling my friends in Louisiana and Mississippi. Most came out of it relatively unscathed. One old friend, Andy Stone, who performs as "Vince Vance" (Vince Vance and the Valiants perform all over the country, though they're best known in Texas and the Gulf Coast), had his home and office completely wiped out. (He lived in Waveland, MS.) Fortunately, the group was performing in Indiana when the storm hit, so all the people are fine, and most of his equipment, costumes, etc., are intact. But I'm sure lots of mementos are irretrievably lost. And a lot of upcoming gigs on the coast have, of course, been cancelled. But did Andy sit around bemoaning his fate? No, he got out and entertained the evacuees in Dallas. He's keeping a very positive face on this, and I love him for it. George

Perhaps it's the term "Quackwatch" that David found insulting. Honestly, one of the best, scientifically tested cancer remedies IS "herbal-based." Paclitaxel (more commonly known by the trade name Taxol ™) is from the bark of the Pacific Yew tree. (Semisynthetic production methods based on renewable Yew needles have been developed more recently.) I'm certainly also aware of the good, synthetic chemicals developed to combat cancer; e.g., cisplatin and carboplatin are inorganic compounds, not found in nature, that have been very effective in cancer treatment. That doesn't mean that an herbal remedy is out of the question. I haven't read the links here, so I don't know if someone is espousing green tea to cure all one's ills, but let's not rule out a natural product as a cancer cure unless it's been tested. George

Thank you SaintGeorge and if you lived in the Columbus Ohio area right this second you would not be breathing. (ohio and texas) I watched the game here until Ohio State blew it near the end. I'm a Big Ten boy myself. Fortunately, MY alma mater, Illinois, won its game handily. (Though, in all fairness, their opponent wasn't of the calibre of UT.) And I still don't know the film, boob or not! George

"Bonne chance" is French for "Good luck." I don't recognize the movie from any of the clues. George

If you say so. --> George

At first it reminded me of an Elton John song. Now I have no idea. George

Light + Sissy + Strata = Lysistrata? (Old Aristophanes play. I doubt it was ever a movie.) George

Yep. George

I had the pleasure of having the Cortrights in my twig and then being co-twig leaders with them during their stay in Texas. Great people! I was sad they moved away, but Mike was offered a good job close to his home, so off they went. We still keep in touch, though not as often, I suppose, as we should. The Believer's Links part of their website can be helpful, though a lot of the links are out-of-date. In the "secular" realm, there are also a lot of websites with personal information. You might find these helpful: Switchboard.com Intelius.com Zabasearch George

As is also apparent, one can get a "permanent" karma name (Resident Curmudgeon, Fiddle Picker, etc.). I think you have to have something on Paw to get him to allow this! George

There are too many Churchill quotes to post. Try this link: Churchill quotes George

"Sir Winston, you're drunk!" "Yes, Madame; and you are ugly, very ugly. Tomorrow, I shall be sober." W. Churchill

I guess it depends on the penalty for possession up there. A new safe could be expensive! George

ITunes!! Slowly I turn, step by step, inch by inch... But first a digression. I wa not offended by Sudo's remark. I imagine that most of you recognized one of Steve Martin's signature lines. And, yes, every time you install a new media player, it tries to seize control of the system. Annoying. But NOT as annoying as ITunes. My wife got it from her kids for her birthday. Not only has it dominated her settings, but it keeps butting in on ME when I'm using the computer! If one of you more "internet savvy" people can tell me how I can uninstall it from my settings (we have Windows XP) without upsetting my wife's stuff, I'd be very happy. George

Okay, you all had your chance! And since I have no idea what Raf's pictionary clues mean, I'll give a clue here: I happen to know that in the future I will not have the slightest use for algebra, and I speak from experience. George

The last post I saw from her was her announcing that she was evacuating. I assume she got out OK, but she may not have internet access right now. (It may not be her biggest concern, either.) I'll keep her inmy prayers. George

Yeah. Actually, the last picture is Rhonda SHEAR. It was hard getting all the pictures actually to show up! Have at it, Raf. George

Well, it was either that or "The Brady Bunch." Try this: George

Well, I wasn't that thrilled by the clip. Sounds a little like Rod Stewart without all the rasp. Just not my style, I guess. George

Since I grabbed Sharon's spot in "Name that Tune," I'll leave this to another erstwhile poster! George
