On the odd chance that I was able to convince some of hte Nostalgia Thread people to take a peek over here, here's another puzzle. IF YOU'RE OUT THERE AND ARE AFRAID TO GUESS BECAUSE YOU THINK YOU'LL HAVE TO POST A PUZZLE, JUST SAY SO. NO ONE HAS TO POST; IT'S JUST MORE FUN FOR ALL WHEN THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE POSTING!!! Have at it! George

Actually, the next-to-last clues was FORTS; but yes, MIRROR + CULLEN + DIRTY + FORTS + TREAT = "Miracle on 34th Street." Well done, Hiway! Right now, there isn't an open game in MP. It's Raf's turn. I may just go and post a new puzzle there for all our new players! George

Not from the quote, but from Raf's hint: "Men in Black 2"? George

A couple of helpful hints for my "Pictionary" puzzle: The first man was a game-show host in the 60's (nostalgic, eh?). The last man is on a WB TV show, but also has been in several movies, including "Hair" (nostalgic, eh?). I don't know who the girl is; her name isn't part of the clue. George

Sorry, Bowtwi, it didn't come up as a link! George PS Any guesses on my visual puzzle?

As long as we're posting pictures, I want to make an unabashed plug for some other threads that Nostalgians would probably like and be good at. These are the "Name That Tune," "Name That Flick," and "Movie Pictionary" threads. The first two are straightforward: You give a line from a song or movie, and the others guess it. The winner gets to pick the next song or film. The song has to be one that had air time on the radio, and the film can't be a made-for-TV special. And "googling" is NOT ALLOWED! (It would be far too easy simply to enter the line into a search engine. With Movie Pictionary, one posts the title of a movie in picture form, using internet pictures, the way others have posted pictures in this thread. It doesn't have to be a word-for-word presentation of the title, but when sounded out, the title should be apparent. Here's one I did that I thought was fairly clever, to give you a feel for the game: The correct guesser then posts the next puzzle. We really need new blood in that thread. It seems as if only Raf and I are playing. :( (If you don't recognize the men in the photos, I might give more clues later.) George P.S. I'm not trying to hijack THIS thread. I just think that the folks posting here would enjoy the other threads, as well!

I presume that's a new quote, not a statement. George

Assuming you mean Clem Robins (the comic-book letterer), he's been in the Cincinnati area for years. Zabasearch has listings for him (I think the most recent is at the top): http://www.zabasearch.com/ (Type in his name. You can leave the state as the default "All States.") You might also try to get in touch with him at DC Comics. George

Correct! Your go, Sharon. George

"All day long I listen to people give me excuses why they can't work. My legs hurt. My back aches. I'm only four. The sooner he learns life isn't handed to him on a silver platter, the better." George

I imagine you've ALL seen this one. If needed, I'll post another clue tonight. George

Sorry it took so long. The only part of that movie I remember is the meeting with Napoleon. "I was a captain of industry, feared by men, adored by women." "ADORED? C'mon, let's be honest, Lew. You PAID for the women." George

I'd love to revel in Illinois' defeat of North Carolina today, but the two teams only bear a slight resemblance to last year's championship teams. Can you imagine the top two college FOOTBALL teams starting the next year unranked and ranked 15th? Oh, well. Might as well enjoy it. ILLINI BEAT THE TAR HEELS! ILLINI BEAT THE TAR HEELS! Nyah, nyah, nya, nyahhh, nyah! 6-0! George

"Time Bandits"? George

"Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy"? George

I've taken WIGP (Foundational and Intermediate); and I don't recall a discussion about Peleg. I'm SURE there's nothing in there about methane (gas hydrates) as there was in WAP. George

I know I'm confused, Cowgirl! Is this a clue to a movie or TV show (or beer commercial)? George

Well, okay, I HAVE seen some of "The Deer Hunter"; but I doubt I've seen the beginning (where the music probably would be heard). I actually met one of the (bit part) actresses from the film. She was a cousin of Don Brunelle (9th Corps); I met her at his wedding. George

In that case, perhaps another clue is warranted. George

If he's reasonably techno-capable, an iPod or equivalent might be good. He could put more music on it than he'll ever listen to. George

Hiway, Now that you're back, did you get the PM I sent you? Some people have had problems, so I don't know if you received it. George

I think we may have created a monster when we pushed Kathy to post more. How about a compromise where any poster has no more than one open link? If no one guesses the answer, and you want to post another, just tell us the one we didn't know! George

Correct. Is anybody out there other than Raf? No offense, friend, but this is like postal chess. We need more players. George

A really big hit? I never saw it! (Or, I've completely blocked it out of my mind!) George

Thanks for the clip, CK. Didja ever notice how most of the TV themes that actually got air time on the radio were cop shows? Right off the bat, I can think of Hawaii 5-0, the Rockford Files, and Hill Street Blues; and I imagine there are others I could think of with a little time. George
