  1. Umm. This seems more of a general trivia question, but OK He wasn't nominated? George
  2. It was a pretty big hit. I can remember the chorus, but not the line you quoted. George
  3. I imagine it's Brad Paisley's "I'm Gonna Miss Her," which I've heard a lot more than the Playboys' song. Ooh love to hold ya, ooh love to kiss ya Ooh love I love it so Ooh love you're sweeter, sweeter than sugar Ooh love, I won't let you go George
  4. "Sure Gonna Miss Her" by Gary Lewis and the Playboys? George
  5. Sean Connery Rising Sun Wesley Snipes George
  6. Only one at a time, WW. However, since both guesses are incorrect, I'll let it slide. "If I am wrong, I'm insane... but if I'm right, it's even worse than if I was wrong." "I'll just die if I don't get this recipe. I'll just die if I don't get this recipe. I'll just die if I don't get this recipe." "I can't just call him up and say, 'Hi! I used be Joanna Ingalls. You deflowered me twelve years ago. Would you check my water?'" "I don't think that, uh, Ed ever loved me. I mean, uh, he married me because I looked right and it made a big impression on the other TV executives for his wife to look like I look. God knows he's given me things, I... I'm not complaining on that score, but... uh... he never loved me." "Joanna! How could you do a thing like that? How could you do a thing like that? How could you do a thing like that? When I was just going to give you coffee. When I was just going to give you coffee! When I was just going to give you coffee! I thought we were friends! I thought we were friends! I was just going to give you coffee! I was just going to give you coffee! I thought we were friends... I thought we were friends... I thought we were friends. How could you *do* a thing like that? I thought we were friends." George
  7. This streaming show is based on a series of 24 novels. Two movies have also been based on the novels. The star of the TV show read all of the novels in preparation for the role. The actor playing the title character in the series is about twice the size of the actor playing him in the movies. Although the movie actor is a well-known action star, I find the TV actor more believable in this role. The title character is considered by some an antihero, but I prefer the description as a knight errant. He refuses to be called a "vagrant," preferring "hobo." Traditionally, hoboes work for their sustenance and are generally law-abiding, whereas vagrants beg or steal. The star said he thought that playing the title character, a man of few words, would be a cinch in terms of dialogue. That was until he had a scene describing a case in great detail, where he had to spew out four pages of monologue in 30 seconds. That required some extra study at night. George
  8. Michael Shannon Knives Out Jamie Lee Curtis George
  9. Sounds familiar, but I'm not coming up with it. George

  11. I am completely lost. And the Raf-WW diversion didn't help any. George
  12. I think you've done it again, Human, unless these are the names of actors in a movie. I don't recognize any of the names. George
  13. FYI, I will be computer-free over the weekend. I'm sure you'll all struggle along without me. George
  14. Correct. With more power hitters and smaller ballparks, inside-the-park home runs are not as common as they once were. (Some balls hit in Forbes Field are STILL rolling...); but they do happen. The Reds have two of them already this year. Peralta's HR came when the outfielder crashed through the fence into the bullpen. His time around the bases was slower than most regular HR trots. Obviously, rounding the bases because of an error (or more) doesn't count (often called a "Little League HR"); but misplayed balls or balls lost in the sun (or, in one case, fog) do count. There was even one walk-off, inside-the-park grand slam. Roberto Clemente in 1956 against the Cubs at (of course) Fornes Field. Human, you're up George
  15. Back to baseball. This is a fairly rare occurrence in baseball, although it has happened three times already this year. Some interesting occurrences: On August 27, 1977, Texas Rangers teammates Toby Harrah and Bump Wills did this back-to-back. Ichiro Suzuki is the only player to have done this in an All-Star game. On April 6, 2009, Emilio Bonifacio of the Florida Marlins became the first player in 41 years to do this on Opening Day, On July 18, 2010, Jhonny Peralta of the Cleveland Indians took 16.74 seconds to accomplish this. Only 18 players have done this twice in one game. What is this occurrence? George
  16. John Quincy Adams was the first President elected in the House of Representatives, as no one had a majority in the Electoral College, so I'm guessing it was he. George
