Yep. Your turn! George (P.S. I hope I interpreted bulwinkl's intent correctly and haven't hijacked the thread!)

Yes it is, Tom. The Today Show. George

Withe the Buckeyes headed to the championship game, the Illini are going to the Rose Bowl for the first time in over twenty years! (Illinois did win the Big Ten in 2000, but went to the Sugar Bowl because the 2001 Rose Bowl was that year's national championship game.) I expect a good game, certainly not the 45-9 drubbing we recieved from UCLA back in '84! George

But I still don't know the movie. Proabably because I don't recognize the plant. George

Try this (again, not a terrific sound match, but it should be recognizable): Three pics George

Actually, Suda, wasn't that the name of the song? I think the idea is to give a first line that DOESN'T contain the title. I think bulwinkl intends this as a game thread. Bulwinkl's song, of course is "Doo-Wah Ditty." Try "Picture yourself on a boat on a river" George

There's no official date cut-off for this thread, but it is true that most of us playing are older and remember songs from our youth better than the ones booming out of some kid's car. :D George And I've got shirts older thatn 21 years!

If you google "[name of show]" and "quotes," you'll get a number of hits that you can use: IMDb, TV.com, maybe Wikipedia, and fan sites for the show in question. That should hopefully give you enough quotes. (TV.com often has quotes for individual episodes.) Give it a try! George

Thanks for the vote of confidence, though most of my geography skills reference a world map from about 1970, so all the new countries and re-named countries and cities will probably throw me. At any rate, the site is blocked from my work computer, so I'll have to check it out at home. George

"Soul Food"? George

It's got five blades. Is it a Gillette Fusion? George

One of my favorite game shows (with one of my least favorite hosts): Jeopardy! (Or do I have to answer in the form of a question?) George

I thought David Seville recorded all the tracks. No small feat, back then. George And if you play it BACKWARD, it says, "Theodore is dead"!

He may be referring to the way they "up and left" Texas. George

Thanks, Bulwinkl! Obviously, I'm in the minority here, but I STILL like "Batman and His Grandmother." Hey, it's the season to be jolly! George

Not ringing any bells here. either. George

I'm about Suda's age, and I can't think of a show that's been on that long. Is this some syndicated show? George

Rascal (and cman, for that matter), Unless you actually happen to know WTH, I'd say that was a pretty serious accusation. He has a different point of view. You don't agree with it. I don't agree with it. That doesn't make him an abuser. George

Thanks to all of you. I suppose the Countess has to get most of the credit, though. John was already in college when she and I got married. I like to think that I provided SOME sage advice during the last ten years though. :) George

Radar, I couldn't find a big, blue face for this, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! (and only 79?) George

I guess there a lot of different sub-categories for "novelty" songs. There are the goofy, original songs, like "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" and "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer"; the parody songs, like "Walking in Women's Underwear"; and the "anthology" songs, like "Santa and the Flying Saucer." Any of them could be an acquired taste, I suppose. Cued by Sudo's post, I tried to find a link to "Batman and His Grandmother," which I remember fondly from my youth. Sadly, I could only find m3u files. (It would take someone of Sudo's calibre to transform for us -- hint.) It turns out Dickie Goodman did ALL of them: "Santa and the Flying Saucer," "Santa and the Satellite," Batman and His Grandmother," "Mr. Jaws," et al. (Oh, and bulwinkl's revised guess is still three years to late.) George

Any more ridiculous than the Devil taking a female form to engage in a lesbian encounter with Eve? :blink: :blink: George

Taxi = "cab" "Unbreakable" is correct. And it's not JUST Catherine Bell's "twins" that I find attractive. George

I seem to remember a questionnaire given out either before or after the class. One of tghe questions was "Where do you think sex should be taught: at home, at school. or in church?" (Or words to that effect -- it's been over 25 years since I've seen it.) I thought that in church would be appropriate, at least to supplement what the youngsters would learn at home. I still do, but I would have to scrutinize the teacher a bit more carefully... George

We haven't had a picture of this babe in a while, so... Four pics George
