  1. I wouldn't worry about it Raf. What are the odds that a storm would form in the Caribbean, hang around the Yucatan, and turn northeast to devastate Florida?

    Oh, it happened a month ago?

    Never mind...

  2. Act2,

    It was one wild story. And it was sweet to see you here. :)

    Sushi,

    Geez! I even knew the answer and still didn't get your clue. Bong! :rolleyes:

    Rick was surprised to learn this tonight but he said hey I make mistakes too ya know :P but the singer wasn't either Julie Andrews or Deborah Kerr believe it or not.

    ]It was Marni Nixon

    And here's a blurb regarding it: While her most famous "collaboration" with Kerr was The King and I, she also sang a song for her in An Affair to Remember which co-starred Kerr and Cary Grant. (Nixon amusingly freezes Kerr's screen image while singing the dubbed song).

    I believe that I referred to Marni dubbing Julie Andrews's voice in a previous post. I think I was corrected in that regard, although their voices are VERY similar. (I think I actually had an LP of "Mary Poppins" songs that Marni "covered.") Marni DID dub Audrey Hepburn's voice in "My Fair Lady."

  3. I even sat down and did the math one time and figured that if i won a person or two a year and they in turn did the same that the multiplication would work out to cover the earth in way less than a lifetime. It was a long shot but at the time seemed doable.

    The problem with this exponential growth is that it assumes that everyone who hears "the Word" would pass it on to another one or two a year. If I speak the Word to one or two people a year, and they reckon me an idiot, then only about 100 people hear the Word in my lifetime.

  4. Well... "Movin' on up" wasn't from "Welcome Back, Kotter" it was from a spin-off of "All in the Family," which MAY be whence this tune is from. There was a similar show at the time that I think is the real source of the clue. Laissez les bons temps roulez! (N'est-ce pas?)

  5. Yes, the Illini football team played about two and a half good games this season. I can't believe they got pasted by PURDUE today. :asdf:

    With three of the Illini basketball team's top players from last year gone, expectations aren't high for another 37-win season, but we'll see...
