Cary Grant in "Charade." I cheated by "googling" this. Please forgive me. Try this one: "You're the best, Ray!" George

I had a friend down here telling me about a dessert she made with "balled milk." At least that's what it sounded like; I knew it couldn't have been "bald" milk. After a stare from her that would have withered a redwood, I realized that it was "boiled" milk!! :D--> George

Actually...it was Michigan STATE. :)--> George

Thanks, smurfette! Just two games to go! (Hopefully, no more of this down-by-15-with-four-minutes-to-go nonsense! Sheeesh!) George

Bull Durham? George (I hope it's right. I've been trying to get in, but every time I actually know the movie, someone else gets it before me.)

36-1! At least I have a week to get my heart re-started! :D--> I knew that Arizona was going to be tough. I got back from fellowship this evening just in time to catch the last five minutes. I doubt I would have survived the whole game! Now to see how the other Big Tenners do. See you in St. Louis! George

Interestingly, now the reverse could be true. UNC's last three games could be Wisconsin, Michigan State, and Illinois! George

Hmmm.... It would appear that at least three Big Ten teams can make not only the Sweet Sixteen, but also the Elite Eight. Can't be said about the ACC (this year). George

I've got to agree with Raf: --> George

Moving to Texas doesn't necessarily mean avoiding snow, Mr. P! Check out my pictures thread. White Christmas in Brazoria County, TX George

Good work, Raf! Hey, you could try "the cleanse." If THAT doesn't keep your mind off smoking, I don't know WHAT will! :D--> George

Happy Birthday, Ms. Garden! So, would you say you've reached "middle age" yet? ;)--> George

35-1! Only a brilliant game by W-M's Joah Tucker (32 pts.) kept it from being a blowout. the Illini don't face a lot of full-court-press opponents, but they eat up that kind of game. It will be interesting to see how the Big Ten-ACC matchups play out tomorrow. George

When I heard of this, I thought they were nuts! I'm definitely a "Jesus saved us from this" person! :D--> George

I recently watched a friend drink "liquid chlorophyll," and it reminded me of "the cleanse" that was popular in TWI (especially among Corps) about twenty years ago. Basically, "the cleanse" involved drinking a slurry of volcanic ash, along with fasting. If that didn't "clean you out," an enema was also suggested. What was your experience? George

It appears we got an abridged version of the survey, fortunately! George Here are two for Pittsburghers: Do you pronounce "pool," "pole," and "pull" the same? How do you pronounce "color"?

Thanks, Cowgirl! I had thought of trying something like that. I just didn't know how much resolution was there. Incidentally, you look terrific. George

I've noticed that a lot of posters now are using very small pictures as avatars. More to the point, I notice that when I open one of their posts, that the picture appears large for a fraction of a second. Is there any way to see the enlarged view for an extended period of time? George

Hey, mstar! Have you gotten scrod lately? :D--> George

Thanks, Guys! :o--> :)--> George

I remember once saying "fixing to" instead of "about to." I slapped myself silly! :D--> :o--> George

No, just throwing out the dirty water. I enjoyed baseball as much in the '60's as I do now. I'm not saying to get rid of baseball, just the cheating. George

"Rhymes with father" would be pa-jah-mas.

I also got 55% Dixie, though most of my answers were generic (common throughout the US) or midwestern/Great Lakes. And I didn't answer #7, because the correct choice -- You guys -- wasn't given. George Some other possible giveaways: Tow motor, or fork lift? Tire tool, tire iron, or lug wrench? Wrecker, or tow truck? Black-eyed peas, or cattle feed?

How? By saying that all their heroes cheat? Be the best you can, Billy; but don't do it the way Bonds, Canseco, and others do? No, there's nothing we can do about it, and they won't be punished, but you have to do it differently! Somehow, I doubt that that will fly with the kids... George
