Why does the sun go on shining? George

Is it because they long to be "Close to You" by the Carpenters. George

Yes, it is. BONNIE Hunt + ANKLE + HIDE = "Bonnie and Clyde." I'll come up with one soon. George

"American Made" by the Oak Ridge Boys: Seems everything I buy these days Has got a foreign name From the kind of car I drive To my video game I got a NIKKON camera A Sony color Tee Vee But the one that I love is from the U.S.A. And standing next to me. My baby is American Made Born and bred in the U.S.A. From her silky long hair to her sexy long legs My baby is American Made. She looks good in her tight blue jeans She bought in Mexico And she loves wearing French perfume Everywhere we go But when it comes to the lovin' part One thing is true My baby's genuine U.S.A. George

Remember, this thread should be about the first line from a song. But, it was definitely memorable from that one line! George

Nope. Older show. "Ex-husbands are like Crosby, Stills & Nash. They keep coming back - older and fatter." "All this phoney-baloney stuff is killing me." "Russell, you shouldn't be so homeo-phobic!" "He's Afro-American." "Jean, African-American. "Afro-American" is like spaghetti-o's or something." "I love you like a Sister." "Oh, Wade. I'm Southern. Please don't tell me you love me like a sister!" "I am truly sorry for what I did to you. Hell, if I was the man I was today, I beat the Hell out of the guy I was then." "You would?" "Yep. You know, I wonder how that fight would turn out? I got more meat on me now, but I was one quick son of a gun back then." "We don't worship Satan on Halloween. We do that on Mother's Day." George

Who is she? It's not Bonnie Raitt or (a personal favorite of mine) Bonnie Bedelia. George

I'm not sure who the blonde is, but I assume her name is Bonnie. George

Correct. My community band is performing a peice by James Swearingen on our Christmas concert. It's a medley of "Angels from the Realm of Glory," "Angels We Have Heard on High," and "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing." George

Minus the first line, here are two verses: -------- Wing your flight o’er all the earth; Ye who sang creation’s story Now proclaim Messiah’s birth. Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn King. Shepherds, in the field abiding, Watching o’er your flocks by night, God with us is now residing; Yonder shines the infant light: Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the newborn King. George

Interesting. I was a Twig Leader for many years (1980-1992). I sent in the "Blue Forms" with the ABS, but I never received a summary statement at the end of the year. I wonder if TWI did away with that practice, or was it only for WOWs? George

No, but if you run red lights and DON'T get into an accident, you'll start to believe that it's an okay practice. Bad practice becomes bad doctrine because people often don't immediately suffer from the former. I've worked in one chemical lab or another now for over thirty years. I see people with incorrect protective equipment who continue to do so because they haven't been hurt YET. If they had, I'm sure their "doctrine" about personal protective equipment would be quite different! George

My understanding of the Toys R Us incident was that two women were arguing, and their significant others wound up shooting each other to death. Another example of "Peace on Earth, goodwill toward men." What's next? "Naughty" boy takes out department-store Santa with a rocket launcher? George

"I don't know what's causing it. Virus, bacteria or evil spirits, but I'm trying to find out." "I fail to understand why my orders are repeatedly being questioned!" George

I often get that feeling, but usually it's just because people don't have a guess. And honestly, as I said in, I think, my first post on this thread, people do a lot more TV- and movie-watching than reading, so there won't be as much activity here as on other threads. (Except, of course, Name that Hymn, that Thomas Bumgarner keeps on life support.) George

It's on cable now (HBO). Quite entertaining. George

Uhhh... Jules Verne? George

I remember being in line to see "Star Wars" when it opened. (I was somewhere near the front.) The doors opened, and in came the rush. A woman in front of me got angry that I was pushing her. I pointed out that my feet weren't even touching the ground! No one was hurt, that time. But back to the Wal-Mart story: "Guess what? While I was buying something to celebrate the birth of our Savior, I trampled someone to death." :blink: George

I'm pretty certain this is "Man Trap." The first Star Trek episode ever to air (not the first filmed, though.) George

No. Yes. George

I thought I responded to this yesterday. (Sometimes, I hit "Back" instead of "Add Reply".) Anyway, I'm giving it to Steve!. (CHAIR + REAM + AGGIE + WIRE = "Jerry Maguire") George

No. By the way, I just heard that a new TV station in Cincinnati has taken the call letters WKRP! George

With all the detail you gave, I'm not sure this is still a game, but the English title is "Wake, Awake (for Night is Flying)." I've played several versions in band. George

"He's Afro-American." "Jean, African-American. "Afro-American" is like spaghetti-o's or something." "I love you like a Sister." "Oh, Wade. I'm Southern. Please don't tell me you love me like a sister!" "I am truly sorry for what I did to you. Hell, if I was the man I was today, I beat the Hell out of the guy I was then." "You would?" "Yep. You know, I wonder how that fight would turn out? I got more meat on me now, but I was one quick son of a gun back then." "We don't worship Satan on Halloween. We do that on Mother's Day." George

Well, the ACTUAL title is "The Banana Boat Song," but I'll go with Day-o. George
