  1. Tom, if you know the answer, just say it! (You got the hard part, so I can't imagine you don't know the whole titile.) George
  2. This is an older movie, but it should be easy to interpret: George
  3. Was the venue particularly smoky? Inhaling a bunch of carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide can leave you with a "hung-over" feeling, even if you didn't drink. George
  4. "Jonny Tremain"? (Haven't seen it in forty years, so it's a wild guess.) George
  5. Of course, it's never been too clear how much will be left in Social Security when we'll be ready to retire, either! George
  6. Kathy, this was "The Cage" (or, perhaps, "The Menagerie") that I wrote about earlier! Jeffrey Hunter was Captain Christopher Pike in the original pilot. He was replaced by Capt. James Tiberius Kirk in the new pilot, and the rest is history, Sadly, Hunter was dead when they made "The Menagerie," so they had another actor play a badly disfigured Capt. Pike in the "non-flashback" scenes. George
  7. Again, I'm going to jump in without confirmation. (Just to keep Raf from having to admit to being ugly.) George
  8. The picture that CK posted was apparently from teh time of the original pilot, "The Cage." Maj was originally cast as the first officer, "Number One." The pilot didn't do well, and everyone was re-cast, except for a certain Science Officer with pointy ears. Maj wound up as Nurse Chapel. Most of "The Cage" was used in the only original ST two-parter, "The Menagerie," where Spock commandeers the ship to bring his former captain back to Talos V to live his life out in the illusion of vigor. I enjoyed all the ST versions, especially DS9. I think "Enterprise" was finally doing in the third season what it should have in the first, but by then it was too late. :(--> George
  9. I have to assume that this is "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly." Though, from Raf's and Linda Z's comments, I must also assume that the last picture is Raf himself, in no wise "ugly." I have no fear of googling photos. George
  10. Honestly, I would hope it would be about respect for Mrs. W., not a slap in TWI's face. There are other avenues for that. George
  11. Belle, I hope he takes a good, LONG look at the prospects. A few years ago, a good friend of mine was asked to take a job at HQ. He quit his very successful business to help, as any good TWI-er would. His wife was equally infatuated with TWI, so they both moved to Ohio. Only then, somehow, there was no job opening. Shattered, they left Ohio for another state. My friend never recovered his self-esteem, and after his savings were used up, killed himself. :(--> Of course, I think he should have picked himself up and gone on with his life, but TWI is clearly responsible for his death. If your ex really considers moving to HQ, make sure he gets the job offer IN WRITING, with EVERYTHING spelled out, and hires a good lawyer. George
  12. Peter Noone, lead singer of Herman's Hermits. You're up. George
  13. OK, Sharon, it's been two days... George
  14. Okay, maybe you don't recognize the guy in the picture (one of my favorite pop stars of the '60's). I'll do it slightly differently, but now you'll have to guess TWO movies. The first -->--> George
  15. I'm not going to get into "Well, I could have learned this elsewhere" because I HAVE NO IDEA what my life would have been like without the time I was in TWI, and it's ridiculous to speculate about it. What I did learn from TWI: Salvation is by grace, not works. (Cf. the RC doctrine I had dealt with prior.) The Bible makes sense. :)--> I can forgive others because God HAS FORGIVEN me. Jesus was a man, not God. (To me, this makes his sacrifice much more poignant.) I have the privilege of sharing what I know to help others. --> What I learned from TWI's mistakes: Teaching someone to be strong doesn't mean teaching them to be hard-hearted. There's more; but that's what comes to mind immediately. George

    E-mail Scams

    Same scam. Only the names have been changed to fool the innocent. George
  17. Here are a couple of hints: he was a lawyer on TV for several years; he appeared in both "Major League" movies. George
  18. How about this: --> George (The smiley is part of the clue.)
  19. Ah, but the episode that he lost his powers ("Q Who?") was a classic! George P.S. Remember who played the other Q in that episode?
