  1. I have not seen that movie. The only line I tend to remember from it wasn't even said in the movie. "Welcome to Earf."
  2. "Know what happens when you give a politician Viagra?" "No." "He gets taller." "Guy come out of an antique shop carrying a big grandfather's clock. Bumped into this drunk, broke the clock. Guy said, 'Why don't you watch where you're going.' The drunk says, 'Why don't you carry a wristwatch like everybody else.'
  3. In later seasons, the primary cast for this show went to work for the FBI, which allowed for a new direction for the show as well as a new setting. A pair of the characters went into the private sector as security consultants instead, and settled down to raise a family. One character who didn't, had previously been shown to be at risk of getting punched in the nose possibly once per season (justifiably.) One character was especially fond of traveling- and being ready to travel, 24/7. The early seasons set the action primarily in Sacramento. One character who retired from investigation work was a computer expert. The other was formerly on the Arson squad (before we met him.) A third was a military veteran- he went on to work for the FBI in Austin (IIRC) as well as other places. When they worked for the FBI, they were joined by Agent Wiley. He hadn't figured out why some people had nicknamed him "Coyote" for "Wiley Coyote." Most of the characters were called mostly by their last names for the entire run of the show, which, for agents, is not that peculiar. One of them was a man named "Jane", who should not be mistaken for the man named "Jayne" who was on "Firefly." Rarely, the title character would perform a magic show of one type or another. Given his skills (and the show's title), this should not be surprising. Another character was referred to by the name of a European city, even though she was not from there and probably has never even visited. One of the FBI people was known by a name that was a religious title, despite him not seeming religious or it even seeming appropriate for him.

  5. "And I'd give up forever to touch you, 'cause I know that you feel me somehow. You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be, and I don't wanna go home right now.And all I could taste is this moment. And all I can breathe is your life. And sooner or later, it's over. I just don't wanna miss you tonight." "And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming, or the moment of truth in your lies. When everything feels like the movies- yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive." This is one of those songs whose title is not in the lyrics. It was on the soundtrack to a movie.
  6. King Canute is a historical figure. He is remembered for something specific he did one day. It's remembered to this day, sometimes in an old saying, and a video by Sting included it. What he did is remembered correctly. However, people have interpreted that as him having an enormous ego, when he was actually demonstrating the opposite, to his courtiers who were yes-men. What did he do, and what was he trying to say at the time? (What did he mean by doing it?)

  8. ""He had white horses, and ladies by the score."
  9. "And I'd give up forever to touch you, 'cause I know that you feel me somehow. You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be, and I don't wanna go home right now." "And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming, or the moment of truth in your lies. When everything feels like the movies- yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive."
  10. No, although both songs share a similar pace and sentiment, they're not the same, and they don't sound like similar songs when played one after the other.
  11. Ok, I have a question. King Canute is a historical figure. He is remembered for something specific he did one day. What he did is remembered correctly. However, people have interpreted that as him having an enormous ego, when he was actually demonstrating the opposite. What did he do, and what was he trying to say at the time?
  12. Now that you've mentioned it, I think we've all had an ex like that at some point. Meanwhile, I need to come up with a good question.
  13. Please pick another movie, or give another clue, preferably not another one pointing to "salt flat" because that's not getting me anywhere.
  14. Ok, switching songs. SAME ARTIST, DIFFERENT SONG. "And I'd give up forever to touch you, 'cause I know that you feel me somehow. You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be, and I don't wanna go home right now."
  15. "George of the Jungle"????? (Or possibly "Lancelot Link"???)

  18. "Come Together." Oddly enough, I'm more familiar with Aerosmith's cover of the song than the Beatles' original release. Aerosmith included it on Volume 1 of their Greatest Hits.
  19. This song was not the same song as the one Heart did, but they had the same name. I dislike when that happens, but what can I do? Some artists don't care if that happens. (Four Non-Blondes released their one hit as "What's Up?" because they didn't want to get it confused with Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin' On?" despite that being in the lyrics of both songs.) "Robert Winters & Fall" released "Magic Man" about 43 years ago, in 1981. It was the title cut of an album obviously by the same name. "Do It Any Way You Want" also charted, so Robert Winters was not a one-hit wonder.
  20. According to Wikipedia, the Heart song "Magic Man" was also covered by Dolly Parton with Ann Wilson in 2023 for Dolly Parton's musicalbum "Rockstar."
  21. Correct! On the R&B charts, it did VERY well. It crossed over enough that I heard it a lot. It's quite good.
  22. "Could you whisper in my ear, the things you wanna feel? I'd give you anything to feel it coming. Do you wake up on your own, and wonder where you are? You live with all your faults." "Don't you love the life you killed? The priest is on the phone. Your father hit the wall. Your ma disowned you.I don't suppose I'll ever know what it means to be a man. It's something I can't change. I'll live around it. I want to wake up where you are. I won't say anything at all."[/b] "And I'll do anything you ever dreamed to be complete. Little pieces of the nothing that fall. Oh, May. Put your arms around me. What you feel is what you are-and what you are is beautiful. Oh, May. Do you wanna get married or run away?"
