  1. This was all of his roles. Latka was on "Taxi", as was "Vic Ferrari", an alternate personality of Latka. Andy was famous for his Elvis impersonations. Tony Clifton was an entertainer invented by Kaufman, whom he insisted was another person. They had public disagreements. For the record, Andy, Bob Zmuda and Andy's brother have all put on Clifton's outfit and makeup and played him, so they could have argued face-to-face. Armageddon T Thunderbird was the "villain" of "In God We Tru$t."

It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure." "Why do my eyes hurt?" "You've never used them before."

  4. Shadoe Stevens was Center Square and Announcer of Hollywood Squares for some time. I recognized him from that. The still showed him. You also hinted the movie was obscure, which pointed in the right direction, provided we could recognize him or guess him. So, it wasn't exactly blind guess territory.
  5. Dick Dastardly's car also resembles Professor Fate's car. I must say that "Stony Curtis" was a good likeness- I recognize Tony Curtis based on the cartoon, not his live appearances!
  6. I don't mind if it's a stinker- it might be easier to remember! But please try to refrain from really obscure movies. I have one I really like, but I never use it because nobody here's even heard of it.

  9. Since no more clues are forthcoming, this is "THE GREAT RACE." I saw this because I heard it inspired "the Wacky Races."

  12. BTW, you've all seen this movie, I'd expect.
  13. Reminded me of the Rolling Stones' "Brown Sugar", but is definitely not it.

  15. You had to look up "Slave-Boy" to remember him????

  17. Now it's sounding familiar. Was one of the male leads spoofed on "the Flinstones" at one point?
  18. Obviously, mileage varies, and different users prioritize different things. "I beg to differ on what you said: keep whatever operating system your computer came with, disregarding the updates and in lieu of that buying a new computer to stay current on latest operating systems...that doesn't seem practical to me for a few reasons: 1.) it seems wasteful like a throw-away mentality besides being more costly in the long run. why not fix or improve what you have. nothing is perfect to begin with - and absolute perfection is only a dream." {I never said I throw away the old computer. I update it as much as is possible and Keep updating its security with external programs. Generally, one doesn't need "the latest" O/S to have a functional computer -high-demand users excepted. The way I use PCs doesn't cultivate using them for an entire decade, so they're not exactly going to be around for multiple O'/S upgrades. My experience is that I've seen far too many people complain about a software upgrade to the next O/S, and try to maintain one with a PC that's several years old and of lower tech. If the current machine serves you well now, then keep using it. Personally, I'm going to go up in O/S by getting it as a factory install on a new PC. Otherwise, I'll keep using the old computer. I don't throw away working PCs. I knew someone who refused to get a new computer, and whose computer was totally unable to handle MINIMUM requirements for the current O/S. (With Windows, you NEVER want to have JUST the "minimum recommended' hardware, otherwise it will run like a snail.) Eventually, they had to go buy a new computer despite themself- Windows stopped supporting XP for all the Win10 stuff.] [We're on the same page on critical updates in general, I think. What's necessary should be updated, what isn't is optional. We may disagree on what is in each category, depending on specifics, however. I also was quite happy with Windows 7, but I agree Win10 is stable.] [As for webpages being built for one browser or another, IE's programmers seemed indifferent to agreements to make standards for compliance for webpages to follow- and thus for browsers to render. So, months after some agreements, IE was still unable to render some webpages properly. It was only after recommendations began to come in to switch to other browsers- for rendering or security purposes- that IE programmers woke up and started to comply. For me, it was far too late- I've used Firefox since 0.9 and find there's lots of browsers I prefer to IE. In fact, I generally only opened IE for Windows updates or Microsoft pages- which were often not W3C standards compliant and so didn't render for anybody BUT IE. IIRC, IE 7 was the last version I actually used. I don't delete it because Windows tends to make it required software for the actual O/S, so deleting it means some stuff will stop working until it's reinstalled, if it works then.] [I don't know it if applies to Edge, but I'm confident all the current browsers all render pages as they're supposed to be rendered (except for the few flash pages still extant, which need a browser that still runs Flash, but that's generally not a selling-point for anything.) I think that's been a goal since the early 200s.] [I use a Windows O/S because I like all the software that runs on it. If I had few software needs, I might just use Ubuntu and call it a day. Other than the actual O/S. I try not to rely on actual Windows software, and try to use something else for a number of reasons. Skype seems to be the exception now that YIM and AIM gave up. If I did little actual writing, I'd probably just stick to CopyWriter. Since I have to have software for a family where everybody needs something for work from home sooner or later, I need to have an office suite (LibreOffice) e-readers and other software. I know there's a big push to do everything on one's phone, but I still use mine primarily to communicate (phone, text, WhatsApp, skype) and find it's great for versatile communication as well as very light webpage reading. A desktop serves me better right now for most things. Other times (past, and I imagine, future) a mini-netbook or laptop was (will be?) better for some things. As always, that's down to needs as well a preferences. I'm mostly comfortable with Win10 now, and don't really have any major complaints with it. It's Windows, so certain features are to be expected and planned around.]
