  1. uh...watching TV? Wedge watch? Arcing the Boob Tube? :blink: color me stumped.
  2. Another big hit from the late 80's.
  3. Sussudio (sp?) by Phil Collins.
  4. D'oh! Sorry. Here's my clue. Three images for a two word title.
  5. Close, but not quite. Here's another line.
  6. I was going to guess "My Fair Lady", but that's not two name. :unsure:
  7. Oh. Sorry, I forgot it was my turn. :-) This should be an easy one.
  8. So where did the whole Talk to the hand thing get started? I thought it was associated with Fran Drescher somehow.
  9. OH! Oh! "Come with me if you want to live" is from Terminator 2. Spoken by Ahnold as the good terminator sent to resuce John Connor from the bad old lady Terminator. He spoke it to a stunned Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) who is convinced she's about to be brutally annhiliated. That's one of the best scenes in the movie. :-)
  10. I had so much fun with "rear window" that I decided to do another slightly warped one. This one should be easy, but then again...I threw you a little curve on the first image. :-)
  11. Oh poop. I remember when everyone started quoting the "talk to the hand" line, but I never saw the movie.
  12. Beach fondue? Beach butter churn? :huh:
  13. Beats me. I'm not much of a "bratpack" fan. The only other Judd Nelson movie I can think of is From the Hip.
  14. Uh I hate to burst your bubble but that's not true anymore. Not since the Patriot Act was signed into law. Now if the Federal Government suspects you are a terrorist, they have the right to arrest you and detain you without charges ...indefinitely. In case you all had forgotten, there are hundreds of detainees in Gitmo right now who have never been charged and are not allowed to see the evidence against them. As far as we know, all of those detainees are foreign nationals, but that doesn't prevent the CIA from doing the same thing to any citizen they suspect of being a terrorist. Technically, we do live in a police state. It's just a relatively benign police state. Hopefully it will stay that way. But there are no guarantees. Which brings us back to the original topic. This is one of those passages that drove me away from the Fundamentalist Camp. I can't accept the notion that "the powers that be are ordained of God" being true of human governments. The USSR, a tyrannical government that adopted and taught atheism as the state doctrine and persecuted Christians was ordained of God? The Taliban and the Iranian Clerics, even more opressive regimes that execute people who preach the gospel of Christ were ordained by God? Sorry, I don't buy that. I can accept the idea that we shouldn't go looking for trouble or get embroiled in politics, but declaring that all governments on earth have a divine mandate takes it into the category of incredulity for me.
  15. He was illin' But better now. And GL--I mean George-- got it right. :-)
