There ya' go, Dooj! "Jerry Maguire." "No one ever won a war by dying for his country. You win by making the OTHER son-of-a-b--- die for HIS country!" George

(on phone) "I'm very angry that your mother paid us a surprise visit.....No, I don't hate your mother; I don't know your mother. I hate surprises!" "Do you know that periwinkle is also an intracoastal mussel?" "No, but if you hum a few bars, I'll wing it." "Every one of those individuals shares a unique attribute, distinguishing them from the rest of the general population. And that is, somebody wants them dead." "What about my Probe? Exactly what image was that suppose to transfer, 'cause all I'm getting is paper dress, metal stirrups and legs a-kimbo. Exactly what was the thought process behind that marketing coup? (Impersonates a Ford marketing exec) Say Bob, what's a metaphor for an invasive, somewhat humiliating procedure 'cause we really need something to compete with the Chevy Speculum." George

I was another who had been booted before I learned of the rottenness in the system. Of course, there were occasional allegations, but nothing substantial. George

Well, I feel safer, knowing he's around! :) George

"Boston Legal"? George

Interesting. For me, something like "Fish sticks on Wednesday" or "Qantas...never had an accident." would have been giveaway lines, but not "K-Mart sucks." All a matter of perspective. I agree that Dooj gave up too early. As I did with "Risky Business," try another line if the first doesn't click. "Rain Man" was definitely a well-known film. Definitely. ;) Steve!, why don't you give it a go? George

They seem to fail the cardinal rule of writing: Eschew obfuscation. George

As I have been away for a few days, I was not surprised to see a large number of posts in this thread. I don't know if I should be surprised that SOWERS Grad hasn't posted in days. What I do want to know is, what the heck have the REST of you been fighting about? :) George

I guess I was out of town for all the real fun. Sorry I'm a bit late, but Happy Birthday, Old Man! George

Actually, I started this thread because in the "Name That Flick" thread there were lines that would come to me for a film which I thought would be too obvious. So, to make it more challenging, I would dig up less obvious quotes, and if necessary, eventually give the easy one(s). As I mentioned in the opening post, there are movies out there for which certain lines might be giveaways but which had a small enough viewership to make it obscure, anyway. (The quintessential example being "Traxx.") Is "Slap Shot" in that category? I don't know. (Even I saw the movie a long time ago, but remember almost nothing about it.) You're generally more likely to get a quick hit with a a more well-known movie, though a good quote might get you there even for a less-well-known film. Note that WW got "Risky Business" without having seen the film, after I gave the right quote. As far as responding is concerned, I suggest putting a question mark after your answer, if you're unsure of its correctness. If you know you have the right answer, go ahead and post another one. George

I know I've heard that exchange. "King of the Hill"? George

"The Glenn Beck Show"? George

"Splash"? George

I'm certain I'm right, but I won't be in town for a few days, so someone else may post a new clue. George

Somebody go ahead and give it. I'll be out of town for a few days. George

Since you seem quite sure of your answer, how about posting a new clue? George

Those were from "Blood Diamond." I'll be out of town for a few days, so free post! George

That was "Julie, Julie, Julie, Do you Love Me?" by Bobby Sherman. I'll be out of town for a few days, so anyone can go ahead. George

Using Firefox did get me onto the "Songs Remembered..." page. George

No idea about the reference, but at least I can access this page using Firefox! George

Danteh, The rules here are that you need to guess correctly the previous poster's episode before posting one of your own. Since these seem to involve time distortion, however, I'll let it pass. I believe you are correct about Maddy's post. I will therefore guess yours. It's either the original Star Trek pilot "The Cage" or its "remixed" version, "The Menagerie." Since "The Cage" was not actually aired until years later, the first episode seen would be "The Menagerie." George

Right you are. George

I admit that there are a boatload of questions on the table, but it would be nice to get a FEW answers... George

Istill can't open the last page of the "Songs Remembered from..." thread. It's odd, because I don't have the problem anywhere else on the board (including the first page of the thread). George

This should be interesting... George
