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.

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

One of those three is correct. Which one? George

One of my dear friends had a stroke several years ago. Though she could still write, her speech was severely affected. Eventually, the frustration was too much, and she took her own life. :( Hang in there, Roy. God will get you through. George

I presume that you're joking. <_< George

You're up! George

"He is my son. I am his father. I must go find him. Go ahead, shoot me if you want, but I will go find him." "The Third World is not a world apart... and the witness you will hear today speaks on its behalf. Let us hear the voice of that world. Let us learn from that voice... and let us ignore it no more. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Solomon Vandy." "In America, it's bling bling. But out here it's bling bang." "You lost both your parents." "That's a polite way of putting it, ja. Mum was raped and shot and uh... Dad was decapitated and hung from a hook in the barn. I was nine... boo-hoo right?" George

"Trust no one." "I'm afraid I can't help you." "Why?" "The last time I helped you, I bloodied my fist and revealed my identity." "Sometimes the only sane answer to an insane world is insanity." "You have seen this before, I can tell. You lied to them." "I would never lie. I willfully participated in a campaign of misinformation." "Toads just fell from the sky!"
