Am I the only one here who thinks that Mike might be KIDDING? I haven't seen many of his posts lately, but I don't recall anything quite this "knee-jerk" before. I'm hoping it's tongue-in-cheek! :) George

That occurred to me a while after posting. I'll get a new puzzle up later this afternoon. George

The last three clues would be " in Babysitting" so I'm guessing "Adventures in Babysitting" though I don't get the first two clues. George

Hint: this is not my usual genre (oldies rock and roll). George

If I didn't know better, I'd have sworn that this was 1985 or 1995. It just goes to show that all the heavy-handedness didn't start with LCM (though he did get it to be the standard by the time I left). Bless you, Sea. George P.S.: After your introduction, I, too, am a little curious to see what you call "abuse."

Raf -- Post a puzzle! :ph34r: George

"Little Nicky"? George

Here's another part of the song: I told my boss where to get off two months ago today Now the bills are piling high and they're hauling things away George

I don't really think of "Dodgeball" as a sports flick. How about "Army of Darkness"? George

No it doesn't Raf! You're the worst kind of liar!! Can't you tell it's ME they're talking about? It's always poor, little me!! You don't know how hard it is to be the lone mainstay of civility at Greasespot. And I think it points out Belle's shortcomings that she would even post such a thing! Nyah, nyah, nyah!! I can't hear you!! :D ;) George

"Dodgeball"? George

I know I've seen this movie, I just can't place it! George

Indeed. How old is this recording? His voice sounds so young! (Was this from "Wonderfulness"?) George

Okay. Try this one. (Sharon is welcome back any time!) Things are gone to pieces you know the times are hard when you have to use your visa just to pay your mastercard George

It's odd to be able to tie 70's bands in with Abbott and Costello, but when I was in college, my roommate and I tried to work up a routine like this: "Guess Who"'s playing tonight. "Who"? No, "Guess Who." "The Band"? No, "Guess Who". That's what I'm trying to do. What? Guess who. YES! "Yes" is playing tonight? No. "Guess who". etc. etc. George ;)

I remember Orson Bean!. I think he occasionally did stand-up on the Tonight Show (Carson era), but mostly I remember him as being a panelist on game shows like "What's My Line?" Oh, and I agree that "A&C Meet Frankenstein" was their best movie. George

I was ticked off when FOX cancelled Firefly. Joss Whedon has a lot of pull to get a movie made of a cancelled series. (Well, yeah, there was Star Trek; but it went three seasons, not eleven episodes!) I haven't seen Serenity yet, but I'm looking forward to it. George

This isn't a GS event, but any 'Spotters who wish to attend are certainly welcome. (Realistically, only those in the Houston area would be likely to make it.) The 18th annual "Thank God I'm not a Pig" roast will be held from noon to 5 PM this Saturday (10/8) at Quintana Beach Park (55 mi. S of Houston). (In case of rain, the covered pavilion at Richwood Park will be used.) The theme is "The Fantastic Boar" with music from the "Porkestra" (the Lake Jackson Traditional Jazz Band), food, and games for the kiddies (including the traditional "pigyata"). Admission is free, though donations for the Brazoria County Youth Homes will be accepted. Directions to follow. George Directions to the Pig Roast (Quintana Beach Park): From Houston or Sugar Land: get to Highway 288 (from downtown, Loop 610, Beltway 8, or Highway 6, depending on your starting point). Go south all the way through Lake Jackson and Freeport. (Highway 288 merges with Highway 332 through Lake Jackson and with Highway 36 at the south end of Freeport.) Continue on 288/36 until it dead-ends at FM 1495. Turn right; continue around until you go over a large bridge. Turn left at CR 723 and go until it dead-ends. Turn right, and you're there! The daily parking fee will be waived when you say you're coming to the pig roast. The Pig Roast is at the Bryan and Quintana Pavilions. Note: you can avoid going through LJ and Freeport by getting off 288 at Business 288 (just north of Angleton). Go south to FM 523, and turn left. Stay on 523 for quite a while. (Pass Highway 35, FM 2004, the town of Oyster Creek, and Highway 332.) After two stoplights past 332, 523 continues straight; but 1495 curves left. Stay on 1495 over a big bridge and through a little of Freeport. Continue past the junction with 288/36 and follow the remaining directions as above. In case of rain, the Pig Roast will be held at Richwood Park: From Houston or Sugar Land: get to Highway 288, and go south to FM 2004. Exit, and turn left (between the stoplights); go a couple of miles until you cross train tracks. After the tracks, turn right at the first stoplight (Oyster Creek Dr.). Go two blocks and turn left (Wisteria). Go to the stop sign and turn right (Glenforest Dr.). Gladys Polk Elementary School will be on your right, Richwood Park is on the left.

The Wolf is correct. (Tom -- SO CLOSE!) George

Yoo-hoo! Sharon! George

Well, maybe Raf will let you have his turn. If he does, you'd better USE it! George

Nope. Here's another quote: "I am called ... 'Snotty'" George
