Saturday Night Live "Shazayam!" George

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

Scent of a Woman? George

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

It was the Hurricane of 1935. Hit the tip of Florida at about 185 mph. FREE POST George

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

Still. George

"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

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

"Make it so." George

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

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

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

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

Okay 150 million. Is that within 30 million? George

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

Renee Zellweger Chicago Catherine Zeta Jones George

I'm not sure that going from Dogma to Alan Rickman and back to Dogma is allowed. George

"Old Time Rock and Roll" Bob Seeger She must belong to San Francisco She must have lost her way Postin' a poster of Poncho and Cisco One California day George

Hot dog eating contestants eat 40-70 hot dogs, but I can't see the average American eating ten. (A lot of Americans won't be eating any.) I'd guess the average is closer to two, making it about 600 million. George

"What we've got here is failure to communicate." George

George Carlin Dogma Alan Rickman George

I think that's "The Shining." (?) George

No. The title of this movie was taken from the hymn "Jerusalem." The writer had a much more mundane title for the movie until he heard a phrase from the song which inspired him. This is probably considered more of a sports movie, but religious sentiments underpin the story. American flags seen in the film should have had 48 stars, not 50. Although it received a standing ovation when shown in competition at the 1981 Cannes Film Festival, this movie was mercilessly savaged by the French critics, because it called the French "the frogs" and "an unprincipled lot." In order to prevent the negative critical response from hurting its international distribution, Roger Ebert lobbied the other American critics in attendance to award it the "American Critics Prize", which they did in a 6-5 vote. This marks the only time in the sixty-year history of the festival that this award has been presented. George
