  4. Typical sniper kill- one shot, one hit. Correct. I suppose you figured out Groucho grew a real moustache for television and gave up the greasepaint one...
  5. Just saying, that's a clue that I had a shot at figuring out.
  6. I actually would have had a shot at remembering "Warehouse 13" (you've mentioned it before). "13 Ghosts" was a 1960 movie that had a REMAKE in 2001. If you'd mentioned that, I would have remembered a few movies that were remade around that time, that among them.
  7. AFAIK, there were exactly 3 "Cannonball Run" movies. (This is none of them, nor was it marketed as a comedy.) The first CR was really good. The second CR was pretty good and was the last movie (IIRC) that Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr worked with Frank Sinatra. The third CR, aka "Speed Zone" was a miserable attempt to cash in on the first 2, which is why it's known as "Speed Zone" as much as CR3. Only 1 actor from EITHER of the first 2 movies appeared in Speed Zone- Jaime Farr as the Prince, who didn't bother wearing a fake beard in his scene, and wasn't accompanied by his trademark musical riff from the first 2 movies. Hopefully, there will be no further plans to do a CR movie.
  8. "Have you ever been made love to by a Frenchman?" "Not that I can recall!" Based on the radio show. When the host prepared for the television show, he chose to grow a moustache for it. This show was honored with a commemorative stamp by the USPS.

  11. He said the show was LIKE "Romper Room", which means that, whatever it is, it is NOT "Romper Room." It's "Bozo", but please explain about the logo.

  13. A lot of what I do watch is syndicated to different networks than when they're airing where you are. And SyFy doesn't air exactly the same stuff. And some of it lacks SAP so I can't watch it that way.
  14. I'm curious about the logo, but I've got the rest...
  15. "Hey, hey, ten points for our fearless leader. Sway, how about giving us the Bill Bixby trifecta?" "Drove a Corvette in "The Magician", a Ford pickup truck in "The Incredible Hulk", and in "The Courtship of Eddie's Father", he walked. "
  16. Just realizing that-without syndication years later- IF I ever saw it at all- I was a very young child. *does a search* Yep. You could have posted every single thing and I would never have gotten it. I have never heard of this show as best as I can remember.
  17. There's more than 1 movie. Is the one "the Incredible Hulk"?
  18. I'd disagree, but that last quote seems familiar from SOMEWHERE....
  19. Did this show run ONCE for ONE season in the early 70s?
  20. Nice, and (IMHO), you didn't make any jumps that weren't warranted by general familiarity with the current political system. (That is, you didn't outline specifics of the system because you expect the instructor to be familiar with it, but otherwise, you moved systematically.) In fact, I'm just musing about something- not disagreeing, but wondering about phrasing. I was wondering if the sentence would be better served with the addition of the phrases "de facto" and "officially", with a slight rephrasing to accomodate it. On the books, the USA is still technically a constitutional representative republic. In practice, it's a plutocratic oligarchy. So, I was thinking, how about this? "Over time the Federal government has transformed into a de facto plutocratic oligarchy, while remaining a constitutional representative republic officially/on paper." That's just me thinking, there. Otherwise, I saw nothing in need of correction or comment. I thought that was worth repeating.
  21. BOTH. Yes, he schemed to arrange people to abuse and use as sextoys. In that respect, he planned carefully, and detailed things carefully, and succeeded. As for the entire corps program, that was the bait for the trap, and vpw was incompetent to actually do a real Christian leadership training program. That's why it was all so slapdash and changed a lot from year to year. vpw was never in any kind of training program, and his time in school was looking for "soft options"- homiletics rather than church history or BIBLE LANGUAGES, supposedly a subject he knew about but was pretty clueless. So, he had no actual experience to draw on- nothing from a leadership program, and nothing from the actual military he CLAIMED to draw from with the program. That's why it all seems based on A) movie cliches B) passing whims C) things added on in passing Movie cliches include the "don't think-just follow orders" mentality that the real military doesn't have- ex-military ex-twi have made that very clear, from different branches. He didn't borrow from actual religious training- except to say they were inadequate while he pushed inadequate training on people. Sometimes it's hard to tell which things were slapped on in passing and which were whims. The whole "you will hitchhike then risk life-and-limb rock-climbing" thing was a little of both. It was obvious people were permanently injured with the climbing, and the hitchhiking was illegal and dangerous, and resulted in rapes and deaths- but vpw INSISTED it continue. Then there was someone who suggested they air everything during Spring cleaning and suddenly it became a doctrine. The only thing that seemed to be added carefully across the program was the SALES TRAINING- which was Dale Carnegie training taught without paying them their licensing fee, of course. Why a 4-year "leadership training program for Christian leaders" lacked anything professional except for how to become SALESMEN shows the priorities of those running the show.
