Though I've been out for eight years now, it was never beyond TWI to "sanctify" a pagan holiday. Yes, there were Ho Ho presents, and "Bless or Treat." In response to Catcup's query, though, I don't remember getting any cheesy gifts from innies. Of course, I was the only innie in my family! George

Wasway: Nice song. Never heard it before. Cowgirl: Never saw the movie. I do vaguely seem to recall hearing of it though. Don't quit playing. Bluzeman: I always loved those "anthology" bits (my favorite, of course, being "Batman's Grandmother"). This one was a little before my time, though I love the idea of Little Richard as the President! George

Good job, Bluze! I know what it is, thanks to years of Star Trek. (I'm not sure what the first picture is, but from the rest I know what it represents.) If no one else chimes in, I'll answer. I have a puzzle lined up, but it's pretty easy. George

Bluzeman, you're up! George

Definitely one I hadn't heard before. Cute, Morgan! George

Always a pleasure with a willing student! George

I presume that was "May" Come. I hope you're right. I haven't seen the film, but it's a good set of clues! And this isn't the Nostalgia Thread, where everyone plays along until everyone gets it. You don't always have to give the answer away, but if you know it, go for it. It gives Raf and me a chance to see others at work! George

Well have you done, young Paduan. Strong in you, the force is. I don't see the answer immediately, so I'll give it some thought. George PS: Large pictures are fine. When you get the page of thumbnails on Yahoo!, each one has a size in pixels listed under it. I try to pick ones in about a 200x200 range, but sometimes there just aren't good pictures in that size.

The TV shows mentioned in Sudo's clip seemed like early 60's shows, maybe 1962. George

Well, I'm married, too; and Alaska is a bit far from Texas, but thanks for the thought. I'm not going anywhere, either. George

Everyone's heard the song, for sure! I believe the movie was "Bells of St. Mary's." George

Thumbnails are the small pictures that are really links to larger versions of the pictures. If you go to Yahoo! and click the word "Images" (right below the Yahoo! header) and then type in a word or phrase in the "Seach Images" line (remember to use quotes or parentheses to enter a phrase) and click "Yahoo! Search." a number of small pictures (thumbnails) will appear. (These appear in pages of 20. If there are more than 20 pictures, you can move from page to page by clicking the appropriate number -- or "Next" -- at the bottom.) When you click on a thumbnail, a new page will appear with the thumbnail at the top, and a copy of the original web page, with the full-sized picture, at the bottom. To post the (full-size) picture in this forum, right-click the thumbnail at the top of the page and then click "Properties." There will be a line that says "Address (URL)." Copy the URL (from http/ to .jpg). (I select it and then hit Ctrl-C. You can also select it, right-click and then click Copy.) Return to this forum (which is why I find it easier to keep two windows open, one at Greasespot and one at Yahoo!) and click the little icon at the top of the window (I'm assuming you already hit "Reply" to open a window) that looks like a tree. A box will appear with a "Script Prompt." Type Ctrl-V to paste the picture's URL in the box, and then click "OK" (or just hit enter). A copy of the URL will appear surrounded by . Your first picture is in place. Hit enter to move the cursor to the next line, and repeat the process for your next picture. When you're done, click "Preview Post" to make sure it looks the way you want it to. A common mistake is to forget to click the tree icon before pasting a URL. In that case, you'll see the URL written out, but no picture. If you've done it right, click Add Reply and see who figures out your puzzle. I'm looking forward to your first one! George

Yes! Give it a shot! If you choose not to do so, just let us know, so the game doesn't just stall. George

Beats me, too, but then I can't think of any "country" Christmas songs except for "All I Want for Christmas Is You" by Vince Vance and the Valiants. At least this is better than talking about mouse droppings! George

I think we need another clue, Sharon! George

They play THIS in my cycling class, as well. You'd think I'd do better. Of course, the only songs that REALLY come to mind when I'm in those classes are "Help," "We've Got to Get Out of This Place," and "This Is the End of the World As We Know It"! George

Digi, I think you may be right. If Raf says so, and you would like to post a puzzle, try the directions here. (I posted this several pages ago, so I'm "bumping" it back to the end. ) George What's THIS? The SudoGB?!! :o George

When I was in grad school, my Branch Leader asked me to assist him in running a class. I thought about it for a few moments and told him No. I was in a critical time in my studies. He accepted that completely. He said he had asked becauase he thought I would do a good job but had no problem with my passing on the opportunity. Ah, those were simpler times. George My BC was 9th Corps, incidentally.

Thanks! I thought it was pretty brilliant, myself! Oh...that's your ANSWER. Correct, of course. Are you up to posting a puzzle now? George

And it's okay to ask a friend, family member, etc. "Googling" takes the challenge out of it. George

Not back yet. Let's try this: George

No sweat, Digitalis. Unlike the Nostalgia Thread, where pretty much anyone can post a clue at any time, this game just gets too confusing with more than one thread going at a time. (The "Name that Flick" thread runs along these lines, as well.) Save your clue for the next time you correctly guess a title and performer! George

The first picture seems to have disappeared (though not before Raf saw it, apparently). I'll post a replacement if it doesn't return. George

AGAIN with the nobody-wants-to-post! Well, at least we're getting more viewers, so I feel it's worth my time. Here's an easy one (I suppose): George

I have five pairs of jeans: one nice one for going out, one worn one for going to work (I work in a lab), one very worn one for working in the yard, and two pairs of shorts. This is Texas, after all! :) George
