I wish! :) I'm also of the mind that the evidence for CO2-based (i.e., man's fault) global warming is far from conclusive. If I were one of the global warming alarmists, I'd focus my energies on mitigating the effects, rather than trying to stop the inevitable, much like Xerxes having the tide flogged because, darn it, he just should have that sort of power. Build a dike around the US (starting with the Rio Grande). A couple of feet ought to do it. George

"Oh, it's from Long Arrow." "Who's he when he's at home?" "An old friend of mine. He's a Red Indian gentleman." "With a name like 'Long Arrow' I didn't think he'd be Irish." "I speak over two thousand languages, including Dodo and Unicorn. I had a classical education." "You know, bein' is prison is much the same as being on a boat. Except in prison there's less chance of drowning." "If one place is as good as any other, it's high time we decided. Otherwise when we get there, we won't know we've arrived." George

Errr... Purple Days, am I right? George

I think it's "You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman" by Aretha (or the Captain and Tennille), but I'll wait for confirmation before posting another. George

Love it! George

Are you sure you didn't mean to address this to Rhino? Except for the nonsense about the "majority of Americans believe in science and understand that climate change is a threat" it was exactly Rhino's point. As a practicing scientist, I disagree that "belief in science" requires considering "global warming a threat." Adn certainly not anthropogenic global warming. Why is there so much more CO2 in the air than there was in 1950? There are 3 billion more people exhaling, for one. Why not just exterminate half the planet's population? Heck, getting rid of China and India alone would eliminate most of the problem (and you'd have all that coal-burning go away, too)! George

You did it fine. Unfortunately, I haven't seen "My Girl," so I'll have to wait for someone else to carry on. If no one jumps in in about three days, I'll probably google to move it along! George

WTH, Great clip! As soon as the camera panned pack I lost all track of what she was saying (something about God or Jesus, I think); but that girl is HOT! Roy, I think you have a good start here. I pray for your success. George

There's another picture I could use for the second clue that would make it more obvious, but I'm so impressed with my own cleverness here that I'd rather not do that! Here's a vague hint, though: think "Laugh-In." George

Thanks to all of you! It's been a good day, and made better by the well-wishes of my friends! Chatty: cool cake! The groom's cake at my wedding was almost the same, except that the icing was green all around the symbol. T-Bone: a scientist shronk his family to sub-atomic size and somehow wound up in the ring. GL had to shrink down and get into his own ring to get them out. Back in those days, comic stories rarely filled a whole book (as opposed to today,where a story line may carry through MANY issues). The second story in GL #10 was the origin of GL's oath: "In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might, beware my power -- GREEN LANTERN'S LIGHT! bfh: I thought the reason the Beatles wrote their own birthday song was because the traditional one was copyrighted. Maybe this clip pre-dated their own version? Rhino: I'm in touch with Vonda a lot (and occasionally Donna (nee) 0rcutt); but I haven't seen the $ohmers in about 20 years. Ann Le+@rte's sister Phili$ is an occasional contact. Our overlap in Champaign was only one summer, so most of the folks I remember you haven't met! Oh, and a picture on you "100th birthday" thread reminded me of my 50th. It was hard to convince the Countess to have it at Hooters, until 1) the kids said they were all going and 2) she realized she wouldn't have to cook or clean anything! George

Odd. I know I responded this afternoon. Anyway, WW is correct. A wispy, light-thingy entity draws the Enterprise and a Klingon ship to a planet under false pretenses. The Klingons capture Kirk and landing party but are themselves captured when they transport aboard the Enterprise. The entity helps them escape and keeps them fighting, sice it feeds on hate. It even heals them from mortal wounds just to keep fighting. Eventually, Spock and Kirk figure it out and convince Kang to disarm, as well. A wave of good cheer sends the entity fleeing the ship. You're up. WW George P.S. Michael Ansara played the same character (Kang) in three ST series: TOS, DS9, and Voyager. John DeLancie played Q on TNG, DS9, and Voyager. Were there any others (excluding Maj Barrett as "Computer Voice")? I know Jonathan Frakes played Will Riker on TNG and Enterprise, but did he also play that character on DS9? Tom Riker doesn't count! There are a boatload of characters who played the same character in two series, and several who played different characters in three series, but how many played the same character in three series?

I have a problem here. The episode you described is "Errand of Mercy," but there was another episode entitled "Day of the Dove." One of them is the correct episode. I can't give it to you until you get it correct. George

Time to lob a couple of softballs. "Out! We need no urging to hate humans! But for the present, only a fool fights in a burning house." "There are rules, even in war – you don't keep hacking at a man after he's down!" "There was a Federation colony on this planet! It was destroyed!" "By what? No bodies, no ruins... a colony of the invisible?" "Yes, a test of a new Klingon weapon leaving no traces. Federation ships don't specialize in sneak attacks!" "You are not going to–?" "The Federation doesn't kill or mistreat its prisoners; you've been listening to propaganda broadcasts." "Four thousand throats may be cut in one night by a running man." "I, too, felt a brief surge of racial bigotry – most distasteful." George

No. This wasn't a comedy, per se, but had a lot of light-hearted repartee. Taos and New York are big hints. George

Hey, Hottie! Haven't seen much of you around these parts lately. Maybe that's because teh Nostalgia Thread has been languishing somewhat. Anyway... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! George

No. Right genre, but about a few years too early. George

Here we go again... "If I was you, I'd find a trail out o' here before ya get me riled up." "Chief, I think I got somethin' you'll want to hear." "Good! What time does your plane leave for Taos?" "Send in the sagebrush Sherlock Holmes, will you?" "Not Mexico, New Mexico! It's in this country! How should I know, it's out there after Chicago someplace!" "This is quite a spread." "Louise is famous for her spread." "These New York detective things interest me. These crimes of purple passion, axe murders and things like that, they - they fascinate me, I love 'em." "Will you hold my bomb just a minute? Just a minute. I got a pebble in my boot." "Must have fallen out of your head." "I just love anything Western. The Grand Canyon Suite is one of my favorites."
