  1. <<BUMP>> C'mon, Sudo! Post a good one. It's been a while. George
  2. It was, indeed, a fine movie. I saw it on cable a few months ago. Hard to beat Michael Caine and Robert Duvall! If you've seen this movie, you'll remember this line: "First, a magic trick. I'm going to make this pencil disappear." George
  3. I remember a scene in the James Bond movie "Licence to Kill" where Wayne Newton, playing a scam-artist preacher, gets his head handed to him by Carey Lowell, to which he responds, "Bless your heart!" In context, it seemed to mean "Screw you!" George
  4. The Countess and I moved 40 miles closer just for this reason. How about it, Ex10? Your place? (Our new home is larger than our old one, but our yard and "patio" are pretty small; otherwise, we'd volunteer.) George
  5. The local BC got tired of me thinking all the time and called one of those drumhead meetings where your TC, assistant TC, wives, etc., sit around while the BC makes accusations and then "fires" you. Since the Countess-to-be and I had just gotten engaged, she and her TC, etc. were there, too. She was given 24 hours to decide whether she would stay with me or with TWI. I left, frightened and confused; Lucy just left mad. Of course, later, I had one of those "esprit d'escalier" moments: "Boy, I should have said this and this and THIS!" But, Lucy and I were beyond that. Was there any impact from our departure? Probably not much. At least one couple missed us, though. The wife said, "I wonder how George and Lucy are doing" in fellowship, at which point another "believer" said "Who gives a f###?" The woman said, "I do!" and left. We left in 1997. About two years ago, one of my old TC's called, trying to see if I would come back to TWI. Sorry, Dude, but thanks for thinking of me! George
  6. Steve!'s had his chance to chime in. I'm quite certain you're correct, Maddy, so have at it! George
  7. So... Rafaella? Rafellina? Rafetta? :) Congratulations, my friend! I guess that there will be none of THIS, however... George
  8. When I was in graduate school (almost three decades ago, now :o ) Prof, Harry Gray from CalTech gave a seminar on advances in solar cells. Some "greenies" in the audience asked him if he thought the US should abandon oil and go to solar power. His reply was "It should be obvious by now that we need everything we can get." Things haven't changed much. George
  9. "You make each day a special day. You know how, by just your being you. There's only one person in this whole world like you. And people can like you exactly as you are." "Oh, Nurse Miller, well how in the world are you?" "I'm just fine, X, but the real question is how in the world are YOU? You're the one who got hit with that teeny tiny hard ball." "That's for sure." George
  10. HAVE A GREAT ONE, MY SUPER-FRIEND! George
  11. Maddy, Welcome to the game! You're probably right, but we'll wait for Steve!'s confirmation. You DO know that you'll have to post clues to a new one if you're right? :) George
  12. "Hook" is correct. Dooj, yer up! George
  13. "Are you related to Mighty Mouse?" "Have to fly, have to fight, have to crow, have to save Maggie, have to save Jack." "You're a... you're a complex Freudian hallucination having something to do with my mother and I don't know why you have wings, but you have very lovely legs and you're a very nice tiny person and what am I saying, I don't know who my mother was; I'm an orphan and I've never done drugs because I missed the sixties, I was an accountant." "Guess again." "Someone has a severe ca-ca mouth, you know that?" "You are fart factory, cheesy, scab picked, pimple squeezing finger bandage. A week old maggot burger with everything on it and flies on the side." "He'll crow. He'll fight. He'll fly. And then... he'll die." George
  14. Probably. But not I, I'm afraid. George
  15. GeorgeStGeorge

    Texas

    Let's make sure Jim knows about the 2008 BBQ. (Is it too early to start planning?) George
  16. It's actually "Ironside," but close enough. Have at it, Purple One! George
  17. That's the one. If someone hadn't gotten it soon, I'd have changed "traveler" to "voyager". You're up, Raf. George
