  1. (Not the actual spelling of the word, but an attempt to convey its pronunciation by the star of the show...)
  2. First: Chariots of Fire was, indeed, correct. Second: You've done this one recently. I can't quite think of it now, though. George
  3. One of the Addams Family movies. I'll guess the first. George
  4. Yes I was out of power for a couple of days but got it back before I left. It was my annual trip to perform in the National Community Band, this time in Knoxville TN. George
  5. I've been out of town. Sorry. She must belong to San Francisco She must have lost her way Postin' a poster of Poncho and Cisco One California day She said she believes in Robin Hood and brotherhood And colours of green and grey And all you can do is laugh at her Doesn't anybody know how to pray? Mmmm strip off your pride you're acting like a teeny-bopper run away child And scrape off the paint from the face of a little town saint George
  6. It was the Hurricane of 1935. Hit the tip of Florida at about 185 mph. FREE POST George
  7. No structural damage from Beryl, but power (and internet) out for over two days. Now I'm heading to Tennessee on vacation until Monday. Sorry if I'm leaving a couple of "game threads" hanging. George
  8. "Since my customary farewell would appear oddly self-serving, I shall simply say...Good luck." "While the essence of our culture has been saved in the elders who now reside upon this ship, I estimate no more than 10,000 have survived. I am now a member of an endangered species." George
  9. The running gag of having the pre-credit sequence ending with a character referring to the star as [title of the show] was originally only supposed to be used in the pilot as it was believed that they would never be able to keep finding ways to work it into the conversation. It ended up being used in almost all the episodes. In the first season opening credits, the star walks through Times Square and sees several Broadway marquees. "Philadelphia, Here I Come!" closed on 1 October 1966, while "Cabaret" opened on 20 December 1966 and Neil Simon's "The Star-Spangled Girl" opened on 21 December 1966. The three shows never ran at the same time. George
  10. Andrew was a strong one, but windspeed was only 150 mph upon landfall in Florida. (It hit the Bahamas harder.) The one I refer to was earlier and about 20% stronger. George
  11. This is looking moderately problematic. Most of the Texas coast will be impacted. Fortunately, it's moving quickly enough that impacts will be lessened. George
  12. Watching Beryl in the Gulf and heading (more or less) this way, it brings up this question: What was the strongest storm AT LANDFALL in US history? George
  13. Dude, you did it again. No Chicago -- Catherine Zeta Jones -- Chicago For that matter, going back to Zellweger, you basically reversed my last clue! George
  14. It's not clear that even 50 million people will be eating hot dogs that day, but let's go with 100 million hot dogs. George
