There was an episode of "Get Smart" that spoofed King Kong. Some guy was made to think he was a gorilla, and was eating bananas. He had taken Agent 99 to the roof of a building. In the course of Max trying to capture him, the guy slipped on a banana peel and fell off the roof, rescuing 99. 99 thanked Smart for stopping him. "No, 99, it was Beauty that killed the beast." "Oh, Max...." "No, 88, 'Beauty' is the name of these bananas!" So, that's how I got to this guess.

No idea. I came here thinking someone was going to say something about Lionel Messi.

Does a horse die in the movie? (In the movie, not the filming.)

Obviously "GITARZAN" by Ray Stevens! All right then, let's see, my turn.....

Indifference to disrespect is pretty much endemic of the genre, now that I think of it.

"Hey, old man, where did you get all this stuff?" "The dead. Our gods are pleased with you. They will watch the battle." "Are they going to help?" "No." "Well, then tell them to stay out of the way." "And if you WON'T help, then the hell with you!!"

If you can figure out the options for the spoofs, you'll probably figure out the original show without a problem.

Taking a shot here... "KING KONG" ???

OK, let's see if I can post this and have it make sense. This television show was spoofed on Saturday Night Live decades ago. When one of the titular stars was a guest host, they came out and they and SNL allowed the studio audience to vote by applause to determine which spoof they were going to use. The audience was able to choose between a spoof with a US general, one with a Shakespearean lead, and a fast food mascot. What was the show they ended up spoofing? (For the curious, the audience went with the third choice, and I'd wished they'd have gone with the second choice because I was curious what SNL was going to do, but I never found out. I thought it was neat that all 3 characters were in full costume on stage during the voting, with the actors rehearsed and ready to go.)

"Hey, old man, where did you get all this stuff?" "The dead. Our gods are pleased with you. They will watch the battle." "Are they going to help?" "No." "Well, then tell them to stay out of the way."

In other words, so long as they're actually lines in the script. (Character is onscreen and begins singing...) Next quote. "Say 'hello' to my little friend!"

Correct! But really, had to get it while on the run? Oh, well....

BTW, NY as a state and a city pretty much grew quickly. When things started there, there was a push to take the Foundational ASAP, then to take the Intermediate ASAP, and thence to run a local fellowship. After that, people arriving weren't rushed so much, so things were pushed at a more normal pace. When I showed up, recommendations looked more to me like a push per year per level, so, take the Foundational ASAP (and retake it), next year after retaking the Foundational take the Intermediate, and after retaking both the next year, look into taking the Advanced Class. Frankly, I thought that was a MUCH more sensible pace. If the idea was for the student to arrive at the Intermediate with a firm grasp of the Foundational, taking the 1st one twice first was a good idea. As for the Advanced, taking both 3x first, IMHO was a good idea if they needed to understand those classes first. As it was, I had enough of a grasp that I was starting to figure out some of the Advanced class content before getting there. Well, if you understand everything it's built on, then it's possible, depending on how well you understand it and how far the next class goes.

These are lyrics from "YOU'RE THE ONE THAT I WANT", the last song in the movie "GREASE." (Sandy showed up with a complete makeover to the carnival around graduation time.)

That was not from "SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER".

"Hello, Darkness, my old friend"

Thank you, Human. Right, I need to post the next clue, let's see...

Can we get another song, or at least another quote?

If I'd been around a decade earlier, I doubtless would have been in the middle of things. Having been born a decade later and running into twi a decade later changed our interactions a lot. It didn't explain how uneasy some local leaders got- apparently, they thought I had plans to try to take their jobs or something rather than just learn everything I could and go as far as I could.

As someone who's played AD&D- and, more to the point, someone who has RUN AD&D campaigns- (Advanced Dungeons and Dragons), one of the things a Dungeon Master (DM) has to account for is deities, beings characters worship. Now, in the classic versions, humans have statistics that range from 3 to 18, with 10 being average. So, someone with as great a natural ability as they could have would have a score of 18. (Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma.) So, an intelligence of 18 is a super-genius, a Sherlock Holmes or other extreme intelligence. A world-class weightlifter would have a Strength of up to 18 (we can discuss the exceptions another time.) You get the idea. So, a character with an intelligence of 3 will frequently misunderstand things that the more-normal player might not, and certainly more things than the average character (Intelligence 10) would. Characters with an Intelligence of 18 understand things that those others can't even imagine. (Imagine Einstein and Sherlock Holmes discussing things with Newton, and Gilligan and Gomer Pyle walked in and tried to follow along. Just wouldn't work.) So, deities have stats also, but theirs almost always start as low as 19, and go up to 25, all of it above what is expected for a character. In the game, deities all have limitations as well, but from the perspective of a human character, they don't seem to have any. A deity with an Intelligence of 25 (there are a number) thinks on levels far beyond the average GENIUS, let alone the average character. If there's actually an Almighty God, one with the capacity to create the Universe and its laws to make an orderly universe, He would have an intelligence that would leave behind Intelligence 25 "deities" like nothing. It is difficult to think like a deity with an Intelligence or Wisdom of 25. To think like one with an Intelligence or Wisdom of 8000 is far more difficult. I might not understand His emotions at all... except when He's making an effort to communicate on my level. (Raising a kid has taught me a LOT about that particular thing. )

Back when I took TKD classes, my instructor sometimes used the theme song to call cadence for kata, so we'd do the forms to the beat of the music. It changed things up and kept them interesting.

That's it!
