  1. Neither, though you're closer with the first guess. George
  2. Actually, that wasn't a bad one. I could sort of hear the song in my head, but not enough of it to remember the title. The hard part of this thread is to come up with songs that are almost universally well-known. For old folks like me, that limits it to songs pre-1990 (and really, more like pre-1985). Younger folks might not get songs from the 50's (or even 60's). And C&W songs are generally less known than stuff from the pop charts. George
  3. Well, I DO recognize Erin Moran. And Clint Eastwood. The sprig looks like rosemary, but I'm not sure. Still not adding up to a film title for me. George
  4. "Oh, you mean my pilot's license? That's out back in the Cessna. Or perhaps you're referring to my license to kill. Revoked. Trouble at the Kazakhstan border. I could give you the details but then I'd have to kill you, which I can't do because my license to kill has been revoked." 1 "Hey, we found prints." 2 "Was he in a little red corvette?" 3 "Under the cherry moon?" 1 "FINGER prints!" "The chips say you're a cheater, cheater pumpkin eater!" "Good morning detectives, collecting money for the Policeman's ball?" "We don't have balls." "I honestly have no response to that." George
  5. Too clever for me. (Well mostly because although the first guy looks familiar, I don't know his name.) George
  6. One would be hard-pressed, I think, to believe that the exclusion of all those anti-promiscuity scriptures was inadvertent. George
  7. Right. "Unnatural Selection." The kids' immune systems trigger rapid aging in everyone else. Pulaski and Data investigate in a shuttle, and Pulaski gets afflicted. The solution is to "fix" her in the transporter, but they have no genetic data, since she never used the transporter. Data and Geordi find a hair in a hairbrush that they can use to set the transporter buffer. At the end, the Enterprise obliterates the Langtree. One of my favorite exchanges was between Pulaski and Data, but it doesn't come across well in print. Pulaski refers to him as "Deah-ta," which he corrects to "Day-ta." "Deah-ta, Day-ta, what difference does it make?" "One is my name, and the other is not!" You're up, Mr. Wolf. George
  8. About the closest that I ever heard to a condemnation of extramarital sex from any higher-up in TWI was when Mrs. Wierwille was in Houston as part of a leadership weekend. Someone outraight asked her if premarital sex was okay, and her response was "If the world says it's right, it probably isn't." George
  9. "If this hadn't worked, it would have been necessary to beam your energy into empty space–" "– and spread my atoms across the galaxy!" "Yes, I'm sorry, it–" "No, no, don't be sorry. Every time I get into the damn thing I'm convinced that's what's going to happen." "Scientists believe no experiment is a failure. That even a mistake advances the evolution of understanding. -... - But all achievement has a price. For one brief glimpse of the mysterious blueprint of human evolution, the men and women of the USS Lantree paid with their lives. Their sacrifice is thus noted in this scientists log." "Doctor... God knows I'm not one to discourage input, but I would appreciate it if you'd let me finish my sentences once in a while." "Medical research is sometimes a risky business. It's all part of being human." George
  10. Yes. And from that you might guess that the Roman was Nero. George
  11. Just a grammatical point here, folks: an inference is something drawn from a statement. An implication is something given. In other words, Dr. Juedes might have implied something by his statement, or you might have inferred something from what he said. You give an implication; you take an inference. George
  12. Sidekicks Joe Piscopo Johnny Dangerously George
  13. We'll try another one. Hopefully, no one will jump in with the answer and then not post the next clue. "The chips say you're a cheater, cheater pumpkin eater!" "Good morning detectives, collecting money for the Policeman's ball?" "We don't have balls." "I honestly have no response to that." George
  14. Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. C.S. Lewis George
  15. When the people find that they can vote themselves money that will herald the end of the republic. - Benjamin Franklin George
  16. Try this one instead: four pics, three names George
  17. "Doctor... God knows I'm not one to discourage input, but I would appreciate it if you'd let me finish my sentences once in a while." "Medical research is sometimes a risky business. It's all part of being human." George
  18. OOOOPS! I've re-set this puzzle in TV Pictionary. George
