Thank yeh, thank yeh verreh much! George

NOW I get it! "Stargate Atlantis" A worthy conundrum, Brainfixed! George

Good to know. I did not fill out their registration information, even though I did originally click the "Yes" button. I refuse to join these sites just to be able to see pictures that should have been sent to me directly, anyway! George

Happened to me, from a GS'er. God only knows who got it from me. Any idea how long it takes before the phonies show up? My work e-mail is in my address book, but I can view it at home. It hasn't sent one there yet. George

I really don't want to give other lines. This was Dan Aykroyd impersonating Jimmy Carter in the opening skit of a SNL show. I always thought it was hysterical, and I remembered it almost verbatim, over 30 years later. I think the new SNL cast needs to reprise it with their "Obama." Change "2000" to, say, "2025", and "Jimmy" to "Obama"; and it rings even more true today! Free post! George P.S. I've found the transcript in a number of places, but I can't find a video. If anyone can, please post it.

Well, bless my soul, what's wrong with me? George

Well, you've obviously got the hang of posting pictures! I'm just not sure what they mean! JUNE/POWELL/GIRL/SMILE GATE ISLAND/COAST ?? :) George

I believe that it's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" Simon and Garfunkel. George

Three pics, need two names George

I can hear it in my head, just not the title! George

It is, of course, "Cupid." (Q + Brad PITT). Brainfixed, I suggest you look at the first couple of posts to see the basic rules. On p. 22 (or is it 23?) of the "Movie Pictionary" thread, I give directions on how to post the pictures from the Internet. Because NowISee guessed it first, it's her turn to post one, though I bet she'd be happy to let you "play through," if you'd like to take a stab at it! (We're always anxious to get others into the game.) George P.S. I don't know if NIS is male or female. Just guessing.

"Borat." Of course, the whole title is much longer! George

No, though the uncanny timeliness of it brought it to my remembrance. Note that it must have appeared pre-2000. George

[shrug] Wayne's World Tia Carrere True Lies George

"Are you staring at my butt?" "No, no, I... I was, but I'm not... I'm staring again." "Let me out there, sir, I have no problem exposing myself." "Do you ever think before you speak?" "No, I just whip it out there. Seems to work best." "Too bad about all the dead movie stars." "Yes. What will we do without their razor-sharp political advice." George

Yes! "Civil Defense." Dukat and Garak, being Cardassians, can roam freely through the station; but the others were all locked down with various, increasingly deadly, security protocols taking place. Eventually, even Dukat screws up, and THIS announcement appears: Dukat... if you are seeing this recording, it means you tried to abandon your post while the station's self-destruct sequence was engaged. That will not be permitted. You have lost control of Terok Nor, disgracing yourself and Cardassia. Your attempt to escape is no doubt a final act of cowardice. All fail-safes have been eliminated. Your personal access codes have been rescinded. The destruct sequence can no longer be halted. All you can do now is contemplate the depth of your disgrace... and try to die like a Cardassian. Sisko implements a strategy devised by O'Brien to circumvent the protocols, and everyone lives happily until the next episode. :) George

It actually was on an earlier thread, but some things are so BAD, they're worth repeating! George

Interesting idea. Sort of like God getting Balaam to bless Israel, no matter how much he tried not to! George

Assuming you're still reading this, know that we're still praying for Sprout, et al. God bless, George

Bon anniversaire, mon amie! (Encore une fois.) Comment allez-vous, depuis tout ce temps? George

Okay, then... Good evening. On Tuesday, we Americans will have the opportunity to exercise our role as citizens in a free democracy. Yet, only a third of the eligible voters will actually cast ballots. The other two-thirds are, in a sense, very lucky. Because they do not know what's going on. Last week, I delivered a message on inflation. Since then, the dollar has dropped in value, the stock market has sustained record losses, and the whole sow price index increased 0.9%. In other words, our economic system is screwed, blued and tatooed! We just have to face the fact that there is simply no way to fight inflation in a capitolly-intensive, highly-technological, conflict-riddled, anything-for-a-thrill world of today. That's why, tonight, I want you to try to look for in inflation, an entirely new word: Inflation is our friend. For example, consider this: in the year 2000, if current trends continue, the average blue-collar annual wage in this country will be $568,000. Think what this inflated world of the future will mean - most Americans will be millionaires. Everyone will feel like a bigshot. Wouldn't you like to own a $4,000 suit, and smoke a $75 cigar, drive a $600,000 car? I know I would! But what about people on fixed incomes? They have always been the true victims of inflation. That's why I will present to Congress the "Inflation Maintenance Program", whereby the U.S. Treasury will make up any inflation-caused losses to direct tax rebates to the public in cash. Then you may say, "Won't that cost a lot of money? Won't that increase the deficit?" Sure it will! But so what? We'll just print more money! We have the papers, we have the mints.. I can just call up the Bureau of Engraving and say, "Hi! This is Jimmy. Roll out some of them twenties! Print up a couple thousand sheets of those Century Notes!" Sure, all these dollars will cause even more inflation, but who cares? Everyone will be a millionaire! In my speech last week, I said that America would have to undergo an austerity program, but since this revolutionary new approach welcomes inflation, our economy will be free to grow, and we can spend, spend, spend! George

Come on, Gang! This one's EASY! George

1: "You really think we can convert this place into a deuterium refinery?" 2: "Absolutely! It'll take us three, maybe four weeks at most." 3: "I hope you're planning on eating during the next three or four weeks." "This force field isn't just protecting the door, it goes through the bulkheads, the ceiling, the deck... there's nowhere for me to go." "You're telling me I'm stuck here? With you?" "No! I'm stuck here, with you! Believe me, a far worse fate... and stay away from my computer!" "You know, I never knew how much this man's voice annoyed me." "I should've listened to my father. He always warned me this was going to happen." "What, that you'd spend your final hours in jail? I could've told you that." "I thought your father told you to stay out of there!" "If you don't tell him, I won't." George

"Batman" (the first Michael Keaton one) The second exchange was Alexander Knox and Vicki Vale commenting on Bruce Wayne's statuary, when Bruce joins in. The first I don't recognize, oddly enough. I suspect it's the Joker, but speaking to whom, I'm not sure. George

We're always looking for newcomers to the "game" threads. ("Name that...", "...Pictionary", "Triple Movie Links," etc.) Drop in! George
