I listened to James at a Star Trek Convention years ago (right after "Wrath of Khan"). He was intelligent and charming. He noted tthat he also auditioned as a Frenchman and (I think) an Italian, but it was his "Scotty" that got the part. With the exception of Walter Koenig, none of the original Trek cast were particularly young adn that was forty years ago. Now "Bones" and "Scotty" are gone. Alas. :(--> George

Actually, most Midwestern cities have large Polish populations, so polka music is pretty big. And here in Texas, there are lots of Czechs as well as Poles, so polkas are big here, too. (My family name was Jurascheck until Grandad changed it to St. George.) George

Then that person can apologize to ME and clear the air! :)--> George

Sounds like Willie to me, though there isn't as much of the "twang" in his voice as I'm accustomed to, so I could be wrong. George

I remember making hamburgers and fries at the "Lone Star Stand" one ROA. I took a couple of the potato bags, punched holes through them, and used them as insulated "sleeves" to keep from being burned by the spattering grease. Where was OSHA when I needed them? I also did BP a couple of years (yellow hat). I didn't mind so much staying up all night in a cold drizzle until my relief didn't show up. THAT made me mad!! George

Oh, and if anyone has a horror story about me, I'd be glad to hear it. It would give me an opportunity to apologize and clear the air. George

It seems to me that anyone here was as likely to be abused by a branch leader now long removed from TWI as he was by someone on the BOT. If no one else will stick up for him, maybe the branch leader DESERVES to be lambasted. I'm not particularly fond of dishing dirt, anyway; but I see no reason to exclude "lower" TWI officials. And I thought the purpose of modifying names was to goof up search engines, not really to disguise identities. George

I don't know. George

A man goes to his optometrist and says, "I can't see as far as I used to." The optometrist takes him outside, points up, and says, "What's that up there?" The man says, "The sun." The optometrist says, "How far do you want to see?" George

A termite walks into a bar and asks, "Is the bar tender here?" George

A man walks into a bar and says, "Ouch!" George

Amazing! I was listening to "Prairie Home Companion" today, and they must be lurkers here, because they used all your jokes! Or, possibly, it was a repeat show broadcast at a different time in Groucho's neck of the woods. I asked my wife if she would love me when I'm old and fat. She said, "Yes, I do!" George

Barb L@lly was also ordained, I believe; and I think there were a few others. I am (blissfully) unaware of their sleeping arrangements. George

Sounds like most of the testimonies in the "My Story" forum! :D--> George

Satori, do you read Batman comics? Ra's al Ghul has, at least for the last twenty years or so, been about purifying the world. (He has also been able to "resurrect" himself with "Lazarus pits," so he's a couple centuries old.) Initially, he was more about testing "the Detective" to see if he would be a suitable son-in-law. Although the Joker would face Batman more often, Batman recognized Ra's al Ghul as his most deadly adversary. Interestingly, when I saw the early part of themovie, all I could think was that Liam Neeson should be Ra's al Ghul, not the Asian actor. How nice that I was right. Gary Oldman as Jim Gordon was great. I found his turn as a NON-psychotic a refreshing change! Lucius Fox was a character (like Ra's al Ghul) introduced in the comics back in the '70's. He was COO of Wayne Enterprises, and he was black. Morgan Freeman was an ideal choice, though in the comics he's a business whiz, not a technogeek. I don't recognize Cillian Murphy from any other work, but he made a believable Scarecrow (although he was probably a bit too good-looking.) The special effects involving his fear gas were more convincing than the comics. A very pleasant surprise was Tom Wilkinson as mob boss Carmine Falcone. With his Brooklyn accent and ungentlemanly ways, it took me several minutes to recognize him as the actor who portrayed Cornwallis in "The Patriot." I'm not sure why every leading actress in a Batman film has to learn his secret identity. That's the only thing I found disconcerting. The ending sets up a confrontation with the Joker. I wonder who they'll get to play him, this time? I always thought Peter O'Toole would have been a marvelous one, but he's a bit too old these days. And with the district attorney killed off, it leaves the door open for Harvey Dent to take over. He would become, of course, Two-Face after a criminal splashed acid on him. George

Still no idea, even if it has to do with (Romaine) lettuce! George

Right you are, Pirate! I really liked the song (Whittaker's version) when it came out during my high school days. I'm REALLY impressed that you got it from the SECOND verse. (I was planning to give the opening lines next, and finally the "I have loved you dearly, more dearly than the spoken word can tell" if it hadn't been guessed by then.) Your turn. George

Indeed it is! Elizabeth Taylor and Sandy Dennis won Oscars for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, respectively. Richard Burton and George Segal were nominated for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor. George

I doubt it's an historical film. (I don't think an ancient Roman would say "gay lesbian.") Maybe it's an Italian film? George

I have never intentionally watched any "Survivor," "Fear Factor," Great Race," "Bachelor," "Bachelorette," "Big Brother" or ANY of the "personality" shows like the Osbournes, Anna Nicole Smith, et al. I must admit, though, while I was working on my taxes, I did see about six "Real Gilligan's Island"s in a row. :o--> George

That's what I saw in a write-up about it. There may have been other characters with one or two lines. To be honest, I haven't seen the movie. (When it came out, I was too young. Note that they still made some black-and-white films back then.) It is a very well-known movie, though, with four main characters. And it's not "Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice." George

"The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone"? George

A worthy try, CK, but incorrect. Here's a little more about the film's nominations: The four characters were nominated for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress. (Two of them won.) The movie also received nominations in these categories (winning those marked with an asterisk): Best Picture Best Director Best Screenplay (adaptation) Best Cinematography, B&W* Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, B&W* Best Costume Design, B&W* Best Sound Best Film Editing Best Music, Original Score George

Well I guess that rules out action flick and documentary, then. Wise @$$. George
