I don't recognize it at all. Which is odd, if it's been done several times. :unsure: George

It's an 88 Magnum. It shoots t'rough schools! George

I agree with hiway about Fizzies. The carbonation was all they had going for them. They tasted awful. I think his "new" batch was probably the same, he just might not remember how they really used to taste. :( George

Raf likes to take the weekend off. He'll have something for us soon. George

Sounds like "Pirates of the Caribbean" to me. George

Obviously we're on "autoedit." That's not what I typed, of course. I remember a few months ago we couldn't type "Pe$*@!ta Aramaic" or "$*@!ake mushrooms." George And apparently, we can't again!

Hiway was correct, of course. Though most people remember Diana Rigg as Emma Peel, she was preceded by Honor Blackman as Catherine Gale in early B&W episodes. Diana was replaced by Linda Thorson as Tara King (my personal favorite) in the last season of the original Avengers. Joanna Lumley played Purdey in "The New Avengers" for two seasons in the mid-70's. All opposite the unflappable Patrick MacNee as John Steed. Honor Blackman was also, of course, wimp Galore in "Goldfinger." Diana Rigg was Tracy Di Vicenzo in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service." The latter film was the only to star George Lazenby as Bond, and the only time Bond actually married. (Of course, "Tracy" had to die.) When "The Avengers" first aired in the States, I thought it was about the Marvel super-hero group. I was disappointed to find out otherwise, but I grew to enjoy the show immensely. The 1998 film was okay, but a bit of a disappointment. George

What do these four women have in common? This should help: Listen only if you can't guess George P.S. What else did the first two have in common?

I don't recognize Rick's song, but it sounds like Steely Dan (famous for the creepy "Rikki Don't Lose that Number"). Kathy's song is by the Byrds, though. George

Sorry. I wasn't paying close enough attention. I thought Doojable got the clue, not Chas. (I didn't see Chas sneak in!) Chas is up, of course. George

So, what we're saying is, Kathy stumped HERSELF? George Where's a "smack" smiley when you need one?

Wasway? You're up! George

Well, since Dooj got Flow's clue, and Raf got Dooj's, I guess we go with Raf's: "So this is how liberty dies. With thunderous applause." I don't recognize it. George

Well, I don't know the movie OR the TV show. But by posting this, I've put the Nostalgia Thread back on top! George

That got it. Thanks! George

Just thought I'd bring this back to the top. I still don't recognize teh movie, though. :( George

You tease! Promises, promises! George

Okay, then! :) George

Just for fun, you might check out the TV show "Supernatural." (But don't tell your Branch Coordinator!!) It'a about a couple of brothers who go around stopping demons and such, usually taken from old legends and folklore. There have already been episodes about the hook guy on lovers' lane, "Bloody Mary," and a haunted scarecrow. And they drive around in a 67 Impala! George

I'm sure you realize that the "top" position is a matter of most recently posted and not necessarily of quality. George

Just a reminder: Doojable's clue wasn't the "official" one. Flow7 has the floor. George

Correct! Hit it, Wasway! George For the others who couldn't quite [lace it, teh whole line is "I'm looking at my girlfriend; she's passed out on the floor."

Okay, I know I've seen this somewhere before; but it's not in this thread where it should be. How do I change the writing under my avatar (what used to be the "karma settings")? George

If you know it, Rick, go ahead. It's awfully quite around here! George

This reminds me of one of the skits in "Amazon Women on the Moon" (a classic comedy film, those who don't know). Steve Gutenberg makes a date with Rosanna Arquette. When he gets to her place, she asks him for his driver's license and a credit card. She runs them through a machine and gets a printout of all the dates he's had in the last year. The results are horrifying enough for her to send him away. Maybe the movie was just a little ahead of its time! :) George
