It actually read like a speech, and had that JFK quality to it...

George, good guess......and you are right!!! Congrats!!!!

The Link is fixed, everyone has great contributions too! http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?con...a&aid=10297

The news has just been released that Congress has come to an agreement on the +700 billion dollar Bailout Bill.....Let's hope it helps to rebuild rather than elongate the pain.. This is an article which describes two possible future scenarios to what might happen depending on the strength of the Bailout Bill. http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?con...a&aid=10297 Lets try to be nonpartisan in our replies here so this thread stays informative and doesn't get moved to the Politics forum - so that those who don't visit the Politics and Tacks forums can read this.

Sounds like JFK?

Good one!

You guessed right George! Male or female hotties???

Yea George!!!! You bet your Harley it is!!!! I figured the Louisiana references, the pot references, and the campfire dialog would spark someone's memories...

I'm sure you saw this film, it was probably back in '69 though... Here's more: Madame Tinkertoy's House of Blue Lights. Bourbon and Toulouse, New Orleans, Louisiana. Now this is supposed to be the finest whorehouse in the South. These ain't no pork chops.These are U.S. prime. Out of sight, man! How long did you boys say it would take you to get down there? Two or three days? ls that right? Boy, l sure wish l was going with you. You got a helmet? Oh, l've got a helmet! l got a beauty! You know, l threw this thing away one week ago. My mother, of all people, retrieved it. l can't understand. She didn't want me to play football. Always afraid l'd get hurt. And here, years later,l find it on my pillow...with a note pinned next to it saying, ''Save this for your son.'' ......... [sitting around a camp fire] No, man. This is grass. You mean, marijuana? Lord have mercy! ls that what that is? Let me see that. Go ahead. Light it up. Oh, no, no, no....l couldn't do that. l've got enough problems....with the booze and all. l can't afford to get hooked. You won't get hooked. Well, l know. But it leads to harder stuff. You say it's all right? Well, all right then. How do l do it? Here. That's got a real nice taste to it. Though l don't suppose it'll do me much good. l'm so used to the booze. You've got to hold it in your lungs longer. What...was that, man? What the hell was that? l don't know, man. I was watching this object...like the satellite we saw. And it went right across the sky.

Hi John, regarding the buying blessings, can you give the url to where this is stated or an exact quote or reprint of their text? This seems to be a departure from what twi used to teach in the '80's.

more: [while smoking a Joint] Oh wow! What? Who's that man? What the hell was that, man? Huh? [nervous] No, man, like hey, man. Wow. I was watching this object man, li-like the satellite that we saw the other night, right? And, like, it was going right across the sky, man, and then... I mean it just suddenly, uh, it just changed direction and went whizzin right off, man. It flashed... [interupting him] You're stoned out of your mind, man.

I read that the snorkeling/kayak was one of the best spots, I can't verify it, but I bet it's true. There are plenty of blogs where people review the different activities, luau's and restaurants in the Kona area, punch some key words into a search engine and see if you can get more first hand info. There is a public beach in the south end of the Kailua area where people snorkel, we found it too crowded though. I've been to the Royal Kona Hotel's Luau, it was ok, but your average touristy standard luau, with buffet service, and a show. I heard the ones at the Hilton Waikoloa and the Farmont Orchid were better. Here's a link, and defer to the blogs for more info: luau's. Also go to Roy's in Waikoloa for dinner, if you've never been, it features local Hawaiian fusion cuisine. BTW, it can rain everyday on the Kona side since the volcanic mountains are so close and so high. There can be a fog/cloud band you can see from the hotels on the coast as you look inland about the +750 ft altitude level in the mornings or in the afternoons, other than a storm system coming in, it is warm enough to not mind a few rain drops, which usually end quickly anyway. Just remember to fill up your tank before you leave for Kealakua, service stations are sparse down in the southern end of the island. Here's a few links with reviews, tips.. tripadviser snorkeling, best restaurants etc food

You know, this used to be a helluva good country. I can't understand what's gone wrong with it. Man, everybody got chicken, that's what happened. Hey, we can't even get into like, a second-rate hotel, I mean, a second-rate motel, you dig? They think we're gonna cut their throat or somethin'. They're scared, man. They're not scared of you. They're scared of what you represent to 'em. Hey, man. All we represent to them, man, is somebody who needs a haircut. Oh, no. What you represent to them is freedom. What the hell is wrong with freedom? That's what it's all about. Oh, yeah, that's right. That's what's it's all about, all right. But talkin' about it and bein' it, that's two different things. I mean, it's real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace. Of course, don't ever tell anybody that they're not free, 'cause then they're gonna get real busy killin' and maimin' to prove to you that they are. Oh, yeah, they're gonna talk to you, and talk to you, and talk to you about individual freedom. But they see a free individual, it's gonna scare 'em. Well, it don't make 'em runnin' scared. No, it makes 'em dangerous. Buh, neh! Neh! Neh! Neh! Swamp!

Maybe we should start a new thread in this forum, the "Stump GeorgeStGeorge" thread!!!! We can put George through the gauntlet with the most obscure references, to see if he can solve the hardest puzzles!!!!!!.....and maybe vice-versa???

Er...thanks....George is the "master" alright.....were you trying to stump him? It was the mention of the glove that gave it away for me....if he'd have seen it, he would have guessed it, I can always delete my answer so we can see if he does guess it?

Is it the Pink Panther?

Is it Andrew Johnson?

I feel one of the best ways to see the lava flows is to do a charter boat rental, usually the hotel concierge will refer you to someone, and go out by motor boat to the area where the lava flows into the sea. Spectacular and worth the cost, and a memory that will stay with you, you can literally get within feet of the lava as it pours into the ocean. Definitely go to the farmers market in Hilo, I think its on Wednesdays or Thursdays, it might take more than 1.5 hours to get there from Kona, lots of traffic near Kona at 9, 12 and 5pm. Make sure you eat a Malasada donut and a Moco Loco or a plate lunch, sushi is also great there. Hapuna Beach is a great place to swim, got to swim with a young seal the last time I was there. Definitely go to Punalu'u black sand beach in the south western tip of the big island, turtles are common on this beach too. Definitely get an ocean view room, and sit at an open air bar oceanside and have tropical drinks, and have fun!!!

Oh geez!! Is it Babylon 5??

Lonnie? How is it so many bikini clad women end up somewhere in your clues??? :lol:
