  1. I deleted my other post. (Hopefully, no one is responding to it as I write this.) Sharon's clue reminds me of this one: There is no bathroom! George
  2. I've never had a problem with credit card debt. I use the "deadbeat" method George A. mentioned. But my stepkids have a bunch. It's been hard, but they've learned a lot about personal discipline. George
  3. Reminds me of a recent "Dilbert" cartoon. The boss wants to by a sensible, envronmentally beneficial car. The salesman convinces him to buy an "Envirocrusher 400": 40 feet high (there's a ladder to the door), weighs ten tons, and runs on owls. The boss asks about obtaining the owls, adn the salsesman says that the noise the "car" makes stuns them so they're easy to pick up and toss into the engine. :D--> George
  4. The song is familiar, but I don't remember a TV show with it as the theme. George
  5. Of course, if you're looking for BAD animation, I have two words for you: Clutch Cargo. Rather than have animators work at making lips move, they actually filmed actors speaking the lines and superimposed their lips on the characters. Even that wouldn't have been so bad had the lips been facing the same way as the cartoon character! Oh, and did anyone else watch the old Krantz cartoons featuring Marvel super-heroes? They were more slide shows than actual cartoons, with the same scenes being used repeatedly and characters moving against backgrounds as if they were one picture sliding over another. Ah, to be a kid again, where such things didn't matter! George
  6. "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy, I've Got Love in My Tummy" by the 1910 Fruitgum Express? George
  7. A fine cartoon, for sure. (I had a Latin teacher in high school that sounded just like him.) I thought the movie adaptation was too serious, but Brendan Fraser was ideally cast. George
  8. Right you are, Mr. P.! I still remember the scene: Gable goes through his whole set of hitching-a-ride strategems without success. Claudette Colbert sticks out a leg, and the next car comes screeching to a halt. As CC explains, "It proves the limb is mightier than the thumb!" George
  9. And since hiway mentioned the Fleischer studios, how about those wonderful Superman cartoons from the 40's? I still think those wer the best cartoons made. George
  10. At least in the Chicago area where I grew up, the Rocky and Bullwinkle show began and ended with (5 min.?) R&B clips, with a Peabody and Sherman and either a Fractured Fairy Tales or an Aesop's Fables, along with assorted commercial intros. ("A message in a bottle!" "Fanmail from some flounder?" "NO! Areally IMPORTANT message!" Cut to commercial.) I don't remember where I saw Tooter Turtle, though it might have been coupled with Tennessee Tuxedo or ... Magilla Gorilla? George
  11. Rocky and Bullwinkle could appeal to kids with its goofiness and adults with its double-entendres and satire. I mean, "Boris Badenov" was funny enough until I found out that a czar of Russia (the successor of Ivan the Terible) was Boris Gudonov! And let's not forget Capt. Wrong-way Peachfuzz! George
  12. Here's an easier clue (same movie, of course): Why didn't you take off all your clothes? You could have stopped forty cars. George
  13. Doesn't he go back and find out that the girl has been dead for several years? George
  14. I loved the Tooter Turtle cartoon. "Help, Mr. Wisard! Help!" "Oh, Tooter...Trizzle Trazzle Truzzle Trom, time for this one to come home!" George Oh, and Moony.. I KNOW the "It was the best..." line was the opening to "Tale of Two Cities." It was the "It's a far better thing I do.." line that I thought was from Shakespeare.
  15. Darn! This is one of those "ghost lover" songs like "Teen Angel" but I know I won't get it without googling! George
  16. I guess with the BOT being the only actual "members," WW's statement is true. Howevr, it's my impression (from the few that I've talked with) that the rank-and-file TWI'ers aren't fanatical. They're carrying out the motions without the emotions. George
  17. That's interesting. I recognized the quote from the audio clip, but I thought it was Shakespeare (Hamlet, or one of those other dreary tragedies). George
  18. Since I posted other clues for "Sleeper" a few weeks ago, that shouldn't come as a surprise! This movie isn't my usual fare, but I thoroughly enjoyed it: What she needs is a guy that'd take a sock at her once a day, whether it's coming to her or not. If you had half the brains you're supposed to have, you'd done it yourself, long ago. George
  19. Well, at least now I understand what you meant about the last picture possible representing the whole title. George
  20. Sounds like "Sleeper" right before Woody explains that Howard Cosell was a form of capital punishment! George

    Need Info!

    I don't know ... how about the "Changed" film? ;)--> George
