What About It: I've taken the liberty of explaining how to play all the game threads in a thread "pinned" at the top of this forum (Greasespot Gallery and Reading Room). Please give it a look. In teh meantime, in a nutshell, the "Name That..." games require you to REMEMBER (or guess) the appropriate title (and artist, if a tune). If you're right, you get to post the next clue. This is not a test of websurfing skills, though. "Googling" to get the answer is not allowed, but it can be appropriate for the clue-giver to google, just to make sure the lyric is accurate. Now, in THIS thread,the onus is more on the CLUE-GIVER to cite a song that most people will recognize from the very first line. It is usually appropriate to wait for confirmation of your answer before posting a new song, but if you're certain you're right (and that should be common on THIS thread), go ahead and post a new song. George P.S. Try the other games, too. I really wish I could get folks interested in the "Pictionary" threads again. It's not that hard to post the clues, and it's fun coming up with the puzzle as well as guessing someone else's.

Is this the DS9 episode where Quark plays a game with some visitors to the station, using the crew as "pieces"? The title was the name of the game, something like "Run Away Home." George

Have you ever seen the movie "Neighbors"? :lol: George

Of course it's not a trick. The idea of this thread (as opposed to "Name that Flick") is to make the quote so obvious that anyone (well, almost anyone) can get it from the single quote. You're up. George

"I'm sure you were great in the last town you worked in," "America, Fargo. I was a US Marshall, my last town was America." "Smart mice. IQ's through the roof. Little varmints used vector formulas to keep me off their tracks." "How'd you catch them?" "Smart cheese." "How long've you been in the tow business?" "Oh, I don't do this for a living, I do this for fun! I just always liked fixing things. I was an engineer, fact of the day." "As in trains?" "Space shuttles." "I went back to check on my own, personal files, and they've been classified. I mean, my files." "It's not my fault that there are things about yourself that you're just not cleared to know." "Yeah, I'd hate to stumble across something that if I told me, I'd have to kill me." "I figured it all out. I know what you're up to." "In regards to...?" "I know that you have a device that can... create a wormhole, or, uh, bend time, or make you invisible... or a wormholing, time-bending, invisibling device, that shields you from the mind." "Yes, he said "invisibling"." George

As strange as it seems, coming from WordWolf, I think this is an Enterprise episode, though I can't think which one. George

"A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down!" gEORGE

Samuel Jackson A Time to Kill Donald Sutherland George

I probably shouldn't have started this,since I'll be out of touch until Monday evening, but feel free to go ahead! George

I saw some of "Pulp fiction" on cable. Couldn't get into it. George

The "keep your friends close..." line is from Sun-Tzu, ca. 400 BC. I've heard it in a number of places. "Family buffers" on the other hand, is not a term I'm familiar with! George

Yo, Wolf! George

Since Katie (Gen-2) is apparently having some sort of brain surgery (Godspeed, Katie), I'll jump in: "How long've you been in the tow business?" "Oh, I don't do this for a living, I do this for fun! I just always liked fixing things. I was an engineer, fact of the day." "As in trains?" "Space shuttles." "I went back to check on my own, personal files, and they've been classified. I mean, my files." "It's not my fault that there are things about yourself that you're just not cleared to know." "Yeah, I'd hate to stumble across something that if I told me, I'd have to kill me." "I figured it all out. I know what you're up to." "In regards to...?" "I know that you have a device that can... create a wormhole, or, uh, bend time, or make you invisible... or a wormholing, time-bending, invisibling device, that shields you from the mind." "Yes, he said "invisibling"." George

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought it was about VP's plagiarism. Take BG Leonard's class, give it a new name, NOW IT'S MINE! :lol: George

That's easily enough corrected! George

Technically, it is, for this thread. If more than one artist recorded it, then any one would be correct. (Unless differences in the lyrics identify a particular artist.) George

That could be from any number of movies. "The Godfather"? George

No, actually, soul searcher got it first. George

Okay, then. Helen Slater House in the Hills Michael Madsen George

At first, I thought it was this actor And I wondered when he became a minister. But that's John SCHUCK. George

I would agree. Of course, for me, the one line would have been, "I tied my own shoes once. It is a highly-overrated experience.: :lol: George

Obscure enough, I'd say. :unsure: George

Dooj, I still remember you calling me to tell me why you had moved, and then put RumRunner on the phone! :) I enjoyed our discussion on "climate change," but now I wish I could have spoken more with him on a less superficial level. Just another thing I assumed I'd have time for later. :( You have my deepest condolences. Love, George

Yes, there was a Supergirl movie. My avatar is Green Lantern, not Robin. Uma Thurman was not in Supergirl. (She did play Poison Ivy in one of the Batman flicks.) I know some others have seen Supergirl, so I'll wait before continuing the thread myself. George

These seem familiar, but I can't place them. George
