Sigh. A woman who later went on to play Annie Sullivan in a remake of The Miracle Worker (co-starring Melissa Gilbert). Patty Duke (aka Patty Duke Astin) Bigger than the Sky John Corbett Not a bad flick, if you get a chance to see it.

A man walks into the street and manages to get a taxi just going by. He gets into the taxi, and the cabbie says, "Perfect timing. You're just like Moishe." Passenger: "Who?" Cabbie: "Moishe Glickman. There's a guy who did everything right. Like my coming along when you needed a cab. It would have happened like that to Moishe every single time." Passenger: "There are always a few clouds over everybody." Cabbie: "Not Moishe. He was a terrific athlete. He could have gone on the pro tour in tennis. He could golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone and danced like a Broadway star and you should have heard him play the piano." Passenger: "Sounds like he was something, huh?" Cabbie: "He had a memory like a computer. Could remember everybody's birthday. He knew all about wine, which foods to order and which fork to eat them with. He could fix anything. Not! like me. I change a fuse, and the whole neighborhood blacks out." Passenger. "Wow, some guy eh? Cabbie: "He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid traffic jams, not like me, I always seem to get into them" Passenger: "Mmm, not many like that around" Cabbie: "And he knew how to treat a woman and make her feel good and never answer her back even if she was in the wrong; and his clothing was always immaculate, ! shoes highly polished too." Passenger: "An amazing fellow. How did you meet him?" Cabbie: "Well, I never actually met Moishe." Passenger: "Then how do you know so much about him?" Cabbie: "I married his widow."

Okay, tried this some time ago and it didn't quite work, so let's give another try: Dallas/Fort Worth airport on Sunday, arriving at 1 p.m. Then headed to Radisson Plaza Hotel Fort Worth 815 Main Street Fort Worth, TX 76102 Anyone? Anyone? Anyone?

Woohoo!

You don't need no strength; you need to grow up, son.

Well, now I'm game.

I had an idea, deleted it hoping no one saw, but Steve! saw, so here it is again... Here's what I think, and it should run in the photo forum. One of us (ok, I volunteer) buys a small gizmo, something, I don't know what. I'll take a picture of it (with me in the pic), post it, and send it along. Next person who gets it, do the same thing. And we'll just keep on sending it. Keep me posted on where it is at all times. And the item I'm choosing is... (In tribute to something we used to do at work).

here's a shot in the dark: Too Young Nat King Cole ???

That's like saying Jimmy Carter is from the disco era. Yeah, but totally unrelated. I just checked. 1985. Disco was mostly dead, except at Polyester's clubs.

Oh hayl no. I have not yet begun to withdraw!

No, you're right! Well, right enough. ;)-->

Hmm. I guess I can give credit for that. Although the Dream Academy might disagree.

Definitely not disco era. Perhaps another line is needed?

Sharon, I didn't even see your reply! "A Salvation Army band played."

Pic must have a block on it. It was a guy in a straitjacket, if anyone cares... I'll be okay.

The sluts... THE TRAMMPS!

Disco Inferno by some 70s funk group the hookers... the ho's... Dang, can't quite...

Yes, that's fine. Honor system. And no, nothing wrong with looking up the answer and waiting for someone else to chime in. I do it all the time. And yeah, it's okay to GET the quote from anywhere, especially if you want to get it exactly right. But then, don't get too obscure. If you're enjoying this, I recommend this site: http://www.aaagames.com/movielin.htm

When I look it up, I don't answer. Sometimes I answer, THEN look it up to make sure, so that I can post the next one without waiting. Unless I'm posilutely certain (as I would have been with "Love your suit" had I decided to answer it). But it's bad form to google and then post the answer. The penalty is a Traxx/Predator 2 marathon.

Three students just came up and asked for help on their test (approved help: questions about process, not content). They all asked the same question, and I could tell from the question that they were all going to get the answer wrong. But I couldn't say anything! I could only answer their question. Argh!

My last one was about 1 a.m. eastern. I can still taste it (ewwwww). Toughest thing is that first morning drag, but I think I got past that with no hassle. Then there's the whole drive to school, which could have been worse. Once in school, I have no problem, because we don't smoke in here anyway. I honestly didn't think about it until I remembered this thread. My students are taking a (dreaded) grammar test right now, so I have some free time. Funny, I don't want a cigarette right now. I really want a glass of orange juice.

"In some cultures it's good luck to be wearing something inside-out." "And you believe that?" "No, but it's like praying: what do you risk?" ... "Women will sleep with you if you write a book?" Women will sleep with you if you write a bad book."

Metamucil. It makes you have to go to the bathroom. If you don't take it, you'll get cancer and die. This movie won't just scare you. It will f@#$! you up for life! Crazy People. Hello, hello, hello... what a wonderful word, hello....

Looks like potential Muslim terrorists weren't the only ones caught off guard by those pix of Saddam in his underwear.
