Right. Figured that one would be pretty easy.

Died today here in NC To most people I guess he'll always be Gilligan, but I remember him best as Maynard G. Krebs, a great tv character. Of course I'm old too.

I think that first picture might be a beet.

If it's what I think it is, something rather large is holding up that piano player, and the stage she's playing on. That's the only scene I remember about that movie. I couldn't tell you one other thing about it. Georgia Tech's hanging in there so far, 17-14. Always like to see the ACC beat the SEC.

You got it.

I don't know. I kinda like the "Bucket Babe" answer.

You're an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks, to collect a bill.

I'd suggest you fill up before you get North Carolina, if you can. A lot of stations are out of gas and those that have it are charging $3.49 and up. The I-95 corridor has always had higher gas prices than anywhere else in the state.

It looks like S.O.B.

It seems like all we're seeing on the news is death and destruction and looters and people blaming the government for all of it. Here's a look at the other side CHARLOTTE, N.C. (August 31) -- Volunteers from across the country began heading south even before Hurricane Katrina made landfall. But officials say there are ways to help hurricane victims without traveling to the affected storm areas. For almost two days, there has been a traffic jam outside the main office of KISS 95.1 FM. Local residents have been lining up there to donate food and supplies. “It’s been crazy -- just car after car,†employee Katie O’Brien said Tuesday. “We’ve been out here the last two days loading up our station vehicles and going out to random places all over Charlotte.†Organizers and donors are convinced that every dollar and donation counts. “I think if people could bring just a little bit, over time it will fill up and help people in the Gulf,†donor Kathryn Wills said. Donor Josh Handy said: “Some people need it more than I do right now. They’re going through a tough time where they might not have anything. I just felt like I needed to help.†Organizers say the generosity they have seen is not surprising at all. They say this type of disaster always brings people together to help. In fact, some say they want to do more than just donate supplies. Supplies could be donated through Tuesday, but only cash and checks will be accepted from now on. “I’d love to go down there to help people and help rebuild, but I can’t realistically," John Alexander said. "So this is the best way for me to be able to help." Supplies could be donated through Wednesday, but only cash and checks will be accepted from now on. The KISS offices are located off the Clanton Road exit of Interstate 77. ************************************************ Yesterday, the folks from KISS 95.1 left for Louisiana with 15 tractor-trailer loads of supplies and more than $250,000 in cash from a city that has no ties to New Orleans at all. Except that a lot of us remember getting help during Hugo and wanted to give back.

Actually it's from the movie "A Summer Place." A 50s classic - Sandra Dee and Troy Donahue.

The war was being run by a bunch of four star clowns who were gonna end up giving the whole circus away.

This is unbelievable - (August 30) - Law enforcement efforts to contain the emergency left by Katrina slipped into chaos in parts of New Orleans Tuesday with some police officers and firefighters joining looters in picking stores clean. At the Wal-Mart on Tchoupitoulas Street, an initial effort to hand out provisions to stranded citizens quickly disintegrated into mass looting. Authorities at the scene said bedlam erupted after the giveaway was announced over the radio. While many people carried out food and essential supplies, others cleared out jewelry racks and carted out computers, TVs and appliances on handtrucks. Some officers joined in taking whatever they could, including one New Orleans cop who loaded a shopping cart with a compact computer and a 27-inch flat screen television. Officers claimed there was nothing they could do to contain the anarchy, saying their radio communications have broken down and they had no direction from commanders. “We don’t have enough cops to stop it,†an officer said. “A mass riot would break out if you tried.†Inside the store, the scene alternated between celebration and frightening bedlam. A shirtless man straddled a broken jewelry case, yelling, “Free samples, free samples over here.†Another man rolled a mechanized pallet, stacked six feet high with cases of vodka and whiskey. Perched atop the stack was a bewildered toddler. Throughout the store and parking lot, looters pushed carts and loaded trucks and vans alongside officers. One man said police directed him to Wal-Mart from Robert’s Grocery, where a similar scene was taking place. A crowd in the electronics section said one officer broke the glass DVD case so people wouldn’t cut themselves. “The police got all the best stuff. They’re crookeder than us,†one man said. Most officers, though, simply stood by powerless against the tide of law breakers. One veteran officer said, “It’s like this everywhere in the city. This tiny number of cops can’t do anything about this. It’s wide open.†At least one officer tried futilely to control a looter through shame. “When they say take what you need, that doesn’t mean an f-ing TV,†the officer shouted to a looter. “This is a hurricane, not a free-for-all.†Sandra Smith of Baton Rouge walked through the parking lot with a 12-pack of Bud Light under each arm. “I came down here to get my daughters,†she said, “but I can’t find them.†The scene turned so chaotic at times that entrances were blocked by the press of people and shopping carts and traffic jams sprouted on surrounding streets. Some groups organized themselves into assembly lines to more efficiently cart off goods. Toni Williams, 25, packed her trunk with essential supplies, such as food and water, but said mass looting disgusted and frightened her. “I didn’t feel safe. Some people are going overboard,†she said. Inside the store, one woman was stocking up on make-up. She said she took comfort in watching police load up their own carts. “It must be legal,†she said. “The police are here taking stuff, too.†(New Orleans Times-Picayune staff)

"Just My Style" by Gary Lewis and the Playboys. You have to be really old, like me, to remember that one.

You think we watch any of your movies, Harry? I've seen better film on teeth. That's all I got.

The guy's been in town two days, and already he thinks he's David O. F***ing Selznick. Your turn
