Actually, wasn't Geer one of the ones responsible (or THE ONE responsible) for John Shoen...'s getting booted for his paper on adultery? George

Well, right. One of the clues is that it scans a lot faster than AVG. Though I also use Advanced System Care, and it runs much more quickly, but it's more for spyware and registry errors than virus protection. And "Advanced Virus Remover" doesn't come up as a webpage; it looks like something generated from your start-up bar, so it could have been running for some time before "announcing" itself. George

A couple of weeks ago, I was websurfing, and I got a pop-up from the start-up taskbar telling me that my computer had been infected. A "scan result" showed 25 problems, including a couple of Trojans, etc. It gave the appearance of a Microsoft product for Windows XP (which I run), including very Microsoft-ish shield insignias, etc. Various other pop-ups appeared warning me not to run "unprotected." The window with the "scan results" had a radio button with "Remove Infections" (or something like that). Clicking on it gives you the chance to purchase the "full edition," not just the "trial" version. I thought to myself, I already have antivirus and antispyware software; let's try it out. I ran AVG 9.5, taking about two hours, which showed no viruses, even though the threat definitions had been updated earlier that day. So, then I re-booted. Not only did the "Advanced Virus Remover" nonsense come up again, but now I couldn't open AVG! Finally I ran Spybot, taking about four hours. (I know, I know, I need better memory!) Anyway, Spybot DID find the rogue software and removed it. (Although, when I brought up Windows again, there was still a pop-up!) A system restore to two days earlier brought AVG back up and eliminated further pop-ups. Apparently, there are other, similar scareware programs, so be on the lookout. I wonder, If one actually contacts the site to purchase the "full" edition, does one actually get something to remove the hoax? George

That's right! Your turn. George

"It is far easier to whisper advice from behind the scenes rather than risk its merit at the point of attack." "Sir Cedric! Sir Cedric! Good news. We've finally found an heir!" "That's wonderful, Duncan. Who is he?... A good man?" "Well. He has his strengths and his weaknesses. You see, he's...American." "Quickly, Duncan! The strengths!" "When in public, a royal personage must refrain from chewing gum, using profanity, picking his nose, scratching his p... p... p... p... private parts and staring down the bust lines of visiting female dignitaries." "What the hell! That's everything!" "How's it going, Your Majesty?" "Great. We've got nothing in common and she's got a voice like a tuba. If she had her way, we'd have sex on a bed of nails on national television. But at least the party stinks." "Your Majesty, may I present the Sovereign King Mulamboa of Zambezi." "Hey, homes! Whas happenin'! Gimme quintet, brother!" "I do not comprehend, Your Majesty." "Uh, welcome, Your Majesty. On behalf of the people of the United Kingdom... ...Uh, do you wanna go get a beer?" George

Don't sweat it, Dude! I took the class at most three times, and that was about thirteen years ago! The fact that I don't REMEMBER LCM showing self-restraint doesn't mean it didn't happen! :lol: George

I was around for the WAP class. I don't remember any particular point where LCM appeared to restrain himself, by biting his tongue or any other means! :lol: George

VPW, of course, had his foundational (as well as intermediate and advanced) PFAL class. Martindale first re-did the advanced PFAL class, and then tossed them all for his Way of Abundance and Power (WAP) series (foundational, intermediate, advanced). I was gone before LCM was tossed, so I don't know what the class is now. I seem to recall that PFAL is taught now, but with several teachers recording individual segments. George

Sorry, mon ami, this performer (group?) is apparently off my playlist! :) George

Well done! I was certain I would have to give more clues. Don't forget, boys and girls, you need to name the series, also. (I'll let it pass this time. It was the original series. A married couple, members of yet another near-omnipotent race, quarrel over the Enterprise while appearing as a witch and warlock.) Go ahead, hiway! George

"Maverick"? George

"Tango and Cash" is correct. In the scene quoted, Lt. Ray Tango (Sylvester Stallone) faces off a truck, barreling down on him, with a pistol. A uniformed cop says he thinks he's Rambo, and then Stallone gives the ironic line. George

ABSOLUTELY no idea. George

In lieu of Raf, anyone? George

"Go back... go back... go back!" "Remember the curse!" "Wind shall rise..." "And fog descend..." "So leave here, all, or meet your end!" "Where did your race get this ridiculous predilection for resistance, hmm? You examine any object. You... you question everything. Is it not enough to accept what is?" "Jackson, the crew member who returned to the ship – you wondered what killed him. I made an image of him. In the essence of my thoughts, the image was Jackson. And when I killed the image, and knew that it was dead, he died!" "You can't think a man to death." George

I would have thought that my last post made this prety obvious, but this should do it: "Hello, HAL. Do you read me, HAL?" "Affirmative, Dave. I read you." "Open the pod bay doors, HAL." "I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that." "What's the problem?" "I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do." "What are you talking about, HAL?" "This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it." "I don't know what you're talking about, HAL." "I know that you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen." "Where the hell'd you get that idea, HAL?" "Dave, although you took very thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move." "Alright, HAL. I'll go in through the emergency airlock." "Without your space helmet, Dave, you're going to find that rather difficult." "HAL, I won't argue with you anymore. Open the doors." "Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye." "Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over." "Eighteen months ago the first evidence of intelligent life off the Earth was discovered. It was buried 40 feet below the lunar surface near the crater Tycho." "Well, whaddya think?" "I'm not sure, what do you think?" "I've got a bad feeling about him." "You do?" "Yeah, definitely. Don't you?" "Don't suppose you have any idea what the damn thing is, huh?" "Wish to hell we did." "I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do." George

Let's get this re-started: Warden threw a party in the county jail... George

That may be, but should we wait? George

Some of the lines seem familiar, but I can't get a fix. What decade was the song from? George

This movie was a little less well-known, though it did well in the box office. If you've seen the movie, you probably remember this exchange: "He thinks he's Rambo." "Rambo? Rambo's a pus-sy!" (hyphenated to beat cuss-checker) George

Ah. The OTHER "big worm" movie (not including, I suppose,"Beetlejuice"). "Dune"? George

We have a winner! In "What's My Line?" a contestant would be quizzed by the panel (asking yes or no questions), trying to guess the contestant's occupation. Ten "No" answers, and the contestant won. As I mentioned, if thepanel wan't getting close (or if time was running out), the moderator would flip all the cards and declare the contestant a winner. Of course, if, say, President Eisenhower were the contestant, it would be obvious, so in such cases the panelists were blindfolded. The show ran for 17 years, and then about ten more in syndicated reruns. The similar show was "To Tell the Truth." The show challenged a panel of four celebrities to correctly identify a described contestant who typically had an unusual occupation or experience. This "central character" was joined by two "imposters" who pretended to be that central character. The celebrity panelists questioned the team of challengers, with the imposters allowed to lie, but the central character "sworn to tell the truth". Occasionally, the show would "cheat," in that all three were priests, or fashion designers, or whatever. (In those cases, there was something distinctive about the real contestant -- archbishop, or inventor of the miniskirt, or whatever. At the end of each session, the panelists would vote for the person they thought was telling the truth. Each wrong guess earned the contestant $250, or $1000 if all were wrong. ($150 was awarded as a consolation prize if all the panelists figured it out.) The regular panelists I remember were Kitty Carlyle, Peggy Cass, Tom Poston, adn Orson Bean; but there were many others over the years. Anyway, bulwinkl is up. Give us some quotes! George

That's right. Kitty was on the other show with a similar premise. This one featured Dorothy Kilgallen and Arlene Francis. To tell the truth, I think I watched the other one more. :) George
