  1. Running Scared Jimmy Smits Star Wars Episode 3-Revenge of the Sith For those who saw "Running Scared" and wonder who he was, he played Detective Tony Montoya, one of the 2 young detectives that were undercover. "Croissant?" "Nice car. What do you call it, 'the Chicken-Mobile'?"
  2. Appears to be "Star Trek." (The Original Series.)
  3. It does. The only artist I know who did a broadcast of this song was DANNY AIELLO. He was on Saturday Night Live- which was indeed broadcast. The song was "CHUBBY CLEMENTINE." So, a cover of Bobby Darin's song.
  4. Just so I can say I asked, Cream with "Sunshine Of Your Love"????
  5. Wow. *checks* One source says he was 5'4" and 100 lbs, giving him a BMI of about 17.19. But, yes, that was James Madison. Apparently 3 James Madisons standing on a scale at the same time would still weigh less than one William Howard Taft (322 lbs.)
  6. Considering this messageboard has been going for more than 25 years, and still has daily activity, I think that's quite remarkable. Out of all the messageboards I've been at since I went online, I think there's only one other one that's still around. IIRC, that one went down completely, and was restarted by someone else, so it's more of a different board with the same name as the first board. This one has been active since the 1990s, and underwent migrations between hosts and servers. It's outlasted the entire hosting company on which it started.
  7. Right. Lots of claims by non-experts who weren't there and whose accounts contradicted all the official reports. I'd at least respect if you'd just SAY you thought my friend was a liar rather than the cowardly approach of INSINUATING it. No airplanes- despite people there managing to get footage of the impacts. No airplanes- despite people actually seeing the planes hit. People who weren't there say there weren't any, so the eyewitnesses and the actual footage must be wrong. I used to find that sort of disconnect amazing, but it's always been possible, and now it's even easier to have an echo chamber where all the voices agree with you, and all the dissenting voices never reach you. Facebook alone has a lot to answer for, there.
  8. BTW, George, you've seen the Bugs Bunny cartoon with Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. "HEY, GRANDMA! That's an awful big nose for you. TO HAVE!" That was "Little Red Riding Rabbit."
  9. "YOU'RE Abe Frohman? The Sausage King of Chicago?"
  10. The second line is also from Dire Straits' "Heavy Fuel", but the first line is not. But I keep hearing the Dire Straits song when I try to name this one.
  11. Neither FDR nor Franklin Pierce, although neither was from my lifetime. The lowest BMI was 20.9, and I've posted everything you need to know to figure out who it was without looking it up.
  12. https://allpoetry.com/The-Bridge-Builder The Bridge Builder An old man, going a lone highway, Came, at the evening, cold and gray, To a chasm, vast, and deep, and wide, Through which was flowing a sullen tide. The old man crossed in the twilight dim; The sullen stream had no fears for him; But he turned, when safe on the other side, And built a bridge to span the tide. "Old man," said a fellow pilgrim, near, "You are wasting strength with building here; Your journey will end with the ending day; You never again must pass this way; You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide- Why build you the bridge at the eventide?" The builder lifted his old gray head: "Good friend, in the path I have come," he said, "There followeth after me today A youth, whose feet must pass this way. This chasm, that has been naught to me, To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be. He, too, must cross in the twilight dim; Good friend, I am building the bridge for him." Will Allen Dromgoole was a woman who was born in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. She wrote over 7,500 poems, 5,000 essays, and published thirteen books.
  13. I have a question about the content. I'm curious if they included the poem, "the Bridge Builder," by Ms Will Allen Dromgoole, and, if they did, did they include her name? I'm thinking they didn't include it, even though it was the reason they picked that name for the book. Personally, I quoted the poem once on the GSC, when someone asked why we post, warning about twi.
  14. I picked the asbestos example for a reason, and I phrased myself rather specifically for that reason. I think you noticed.
