For the purpose of this thread, I think we should rule TV quotes are acceptable as long as they are FAMOUS quotes. The cowbell one is probably the most-quoted Walken quote out there. Can I get an "amen" on that ruling? Anyone?

Probably too easy, so I'll shorten it a little. "I'm so hot for her"

Yes. For the benefit of the other posters, I will explain. When Batman was invented, he was a solo act. He was one of the early heroes to get a teenage sidekick. (For a time, everybody got one, but most of those heroes have been put out to pasture.) So, Batman got Robin. Robin was Dick Grayson, the youngest son of the acrobats "the Flying Graysons", killed by a criminal. (Robin later snapped the photo that ensured Tony "Boss" Zucco got The Chair for that.) Eventually, he got older, and the Boy Wonder became the Teen Wonder. He went to college and led the Titans. Eventually, he gave up being Robin because he wasn't a sidekick anymore. With a name and costume that were nods to Superman and Batman, Dick Grayson became "Nightwing." Meanwhile, in the Batman comic, we got Jason Todd, who was basically a Dick Grayson clone with a different name. Then came "Crisis on Infinite Earths." After that, everyone's backstory changed, usually just getting shorter. With Jason Todd, they took the liberty of making him very different. He was now a streetwise kid who acted before he thought. Batman discovered him when Jason tried to boost the Batmobile's tire. Batman tried to channel his energy into being a hero, but Jason was still reckless. (And worse, nobody liked the new Jason. Some people thought he'd stolen DG's place despite DG having a new place, and in general, he was an annoying character.) So, DC wrote a 4-part story, "Death in the Family." Jason discovered his birth mother wasn't who he thought, and went on a search to find her. Batman trailed him, but didn't catch up to him completely. She was working for the Joker, who was going to let her die in an explosion. Robin caught up to her, but the Joker beat him with a crowbar and left him for dead. Jason got up, and went to try to disarm the bomb, and realized there wasn't enough time. The view went to outside, where Batman caught up. Part 2 ended in a cliffhanger, with Batman outside the explosion. Did Jason Todd survive the explosion, or did it kill him? DC ran 2 1-900 numbers. For each call to one or the other, a vote was cast. They had 2 completed comics ready to accompany the next cover, which asked if he survived. The vote just barely went to killing him off, so the comic had Batman recover the body, then go after the Joker. For the curious, Batman was solo for a while, then DC introduced Tim Drake, a much more likeable detective type, who DG treated as a younger brother and who became the next Robin. That was the first teen Robin who started with the long pants. (He also learned to use a staff when fighting, so can be seen carrying one, and wearing a much more protective costume, complete with a cape that was yellow on the inside, black on the outside for sneaking around. (The red and green of the costume were also darker shades, and he got black martial arts tabi boots.) So, there was a big fuss about the 900# thing, and even when they did a trade paperback collecting the story, there was a fuss. Penn Gillette was quoted on that, having commented when the actual event happened. So, it's George's turn!

Here's a new question. After a certain event, a few people commented. Probably the most anomalous one was from Penn Gillette (of Penn & Teller, that Penn.) He said that his one thought afterwards was that they were beaten to the punch in that someone else had already thought of a campaign where you could have the public phone a 900 number and decide whether or not to kill your partner. Calling a 900 number, and a partner dying or not, depending on the vote? About what was Penn Gillette speaking?

A long time ago, in an election year, Trix had a smart advertising campaign. It was a campaign. Kids could vote! We were voting on whether or not the Trix Rabbit would be able to have some Trix or not. I voted he should have some. Several months later, the commercials announced the result, and he got a free pass to have some Trix for one commercial...after which it was going to be off-limits for him again, since Trix are made for kids. But, hey, I honestly think they abided by the election results, and had 2 concepts ready for the commercial, depending on the election result.

"Always in a hurry, I never stop to worry Don't see the time flashin' by Honey, got no money I'm all sixes and sevens and nines Say now, baby, I'm the rank outsider You can be my partner in crime." "Women think I'm tasty, but they're always tryin' to waste me And make me burn the candle right down But baby, baby, I don't need no jewels in my crown 'Cause all you women is low down gamblers Cheatin' like I don't know how."

I just found out he had a MIDDLE name. The 70s had cool cereal mascots. Now people are worried that some people get offended if breakfast cereal has a mascot. But, really, is Tony the Tiger hurting anyone?

"Do you like scary movies?" "There are certain rules that one must abide by in order to successfully survive a horror movie. For instance, number one: you can never have sex."

I hope that everyone's doing all right, right now, with the storms and everything. One thing I'm glad about is that "I'M NOT THERE." (I hope they evacuated, too, if they were anywhere near the epicenter.)

Pronunciation aside, this is obviously "CHEERS". (I never heard the Boston Brahmin when he walked in.)

In case that wasn't it, how about "Retro-Active"?????

........Possibly, but I'm not sure. It's not the one I'm looking for, and one movie is known for that line. The line was not said face-to-face.

Next song. "Always in a hurry, I never stop to worry Don't see the time flashin' by Honey, got no money I'm all sixes and sevens and nines Say now, baby, I'm the rank outsider You can be my partner in crime."

"Do you like scary movies?"

I suspected that, but I wasn't sure.

It is. Ralph Kramden sometimes complained about himself.

He's Captain HORATIO Crunch. BTW, I wonder how many people remember the short-lived change to Sugar Bear. For a few months, he had the ability to hulk out as "Super Bear." A few months later, they dropped it. Must not have been very popular around the office. Meanwhile, me and Quentin Tarantino miss "Fruit Brute." He was the werewolf mascot for the fruit-flavored monster cereal. Then they got rid of him and brought the cereal back as "Yummy Mummy." (I meant Fruit Brute was the mascot, not Tarantino.)

Sorry, I didn't check in. This is Tom Petty's "You Wreck Me." "You wreck me, baby, yes you do..."

I'm going to take a shot at all of them, including ones I'm not sure about at all. Oh, you WANTED the clean sweep. OK, I'm going for it. 1- Honey Nut Cheerios 2- Frosted Lucky Charms (are magically delicious.) 3- Rice Krispies 4- Trix (Silly rabbit, Trix are made for kids. Although I did vote for you to get to try some!) 5- Azucaritas (OK, that's the name here, and it's the same mascot. "FROSTED FLAKES.") 6- Froot Loops (Here, they're called "Froot Loops.") 7- Super Sugar Crisp/Super Golden Crisp. (The name changed when they wanted to draw attention away from sugary ingredients. One comedian wondered if they would change his name to "Golden Bear" to match the cereal.) 8- Raisin Bran. (That's a sun carrying 2 scoops of raisins. Hey, must be the sun because he's drying the grapes into raisins. Never thought of that before.) Say, do you know Cap'n Crunch's FIRST NAME? His last name is "Crunch", he actually has a first name.

Next one. "I've got a BIG MOUTH!"

A lot of people remember the Honeymooners and forget or don't know the other show existed. I remember the Honeymooners well enough that I got suspicious that I could think "Jackie Gleason" but NOT "the Honeymooners" with that line, so that narrowed the field considerably.

It's not Jackie Chan, neither....

"Second star to the right, and straight on until morning" was said in "Hook", but I don't think that's the answer you're looking for.

I think I have the artist, but I'm trying to actually remember the song, and it's not coming yet.

Bingo.
