Somebody from before my time, obviously..... Tony Curtis????????

Me, too.

Taking a swing at it.... was this "Malcolm 10" or something?

Raf's right. I confused Oasis with Radiohead (it can happen), and I got stuck on the title because "I'm a loser" and "I'm a creep" sort-of blend together in my head as song lyrics go. I'd have the same problem if there were lines like "I'm a cretin" or "I'm a nincompoop" and so on. So, Raf's turn, fair and square.

Ok, let's review what we have so far..... I've got a few questions about (former) Pope John Paul I (formerly Albino Luciani.) A) He caused something to happen that had NOT happened since 1605. B) He was the first pope to do what? C) He was the first pope to also do what? (B & C are 2 different answers.) D) In one category, he came in 4th (honorable mention.) In what was he 4th? ====================== Where are we on answers so far? B) First pope to use two names So, we have B but not the rest. BTW, if you have B you can probably guess C as they are related. He was actually pretty famous for D (there are still conspiracy theories about this) (A) was a direct consequence of D.

So, we're back to one living Pope.

"Well, she was just seventeen, and you know what I mean..." (We know what you mean, you mean you're going to jail!)

Well, I'll just take that one to the streets and post another.

Beaches John Heard Home Alone

Which makes this George's turn.

He did, but this once I think we can overlook that, since it's obvious from what he posted that he knew it was "A Christmas Story" and MEANT to name the movie. His, OTOH, is "RISKY BUSINESS." *slides away*

A) No, that was Benedict/ Ratzinger, Francis' predecessor. Considering he had a reputation for following tradition, it's peculiar he didn't follow the tradition for a Pope stepping down and return to "Bishop of", making for only one Pope. Instead, he called himself "Pope Emeritus," which was a completely different first. So, we have one living Pope and one living Pope Emeritus." B) Correct. D) *checks* No.

"The ship appears to be run by computer. It is the only thing that is speaking." "Speaking? Let me hear it." "9-8-7-6-5..." "Get out! Get out of there! Get out!"

I got to thinking about who'd be well-known in the US, the UK AND here. That ran the list down VERY quickly. Peppa Pig is famous in the UK, and well-known here, but AFAIK, largely unknown in the US. And each of the 3 countries has something known locally but not recognized anywhere else (like Plim Plim or El Sapo Pepe.) And so on. Of the smaller number famous everywhere I know, there's fewer couples (Shaggy and Scooby do NOT count.)

How iconic can we get...... Were they the voices for MICKEY MOUSE and MINNIE MOUSE?

How about "Meet Joe Black"????

I'll let people chime in a bit before throwing in some of my ideas. However, with 2 artists per position, I posted 2 for one position- and you posted one of them. At least 1 is a neat choice I didn't even consider.

"You don't know me, but I'm your brother."

That last part rings a bell. It's not Beck's "Loser." It's not Oasis. I'm on the right track somewhere in there, I just know it...

In my experience, it can get them to take off, or to look at you differently. They obviously have SOME sort of notice about twi. Some of them expect a shouting match and take off, some think "Oh, cool, we can discuss the Bible" but they're in the minority. In this case, I suspect it was them at your door, but I can't guarantee that.

That works- basically, you're telling them that their organization made the deliberate decision to kick you out and declare you persona non grata, period. That's a relatively rare thing, and very deliberate. They can't talk to you or acknowledge you exist.

*A* IS "Gilligan's Island. Decades later, people began speculating, which is why there's room for disagreement. The placements usually go... Greed is Mr Howell, Lust is Ginger, Pride is the Professor. Then we get Mrs Howell for Sloth, and Envy for Mary Ann. As for the last 2.... The Skipper gets Wrath for always swatting Gilligan with his hat. Sometimes Gilligan gets Gluttony for his appetite, sometimes The Skipper is Wrath AND Gluttony because he's fat. In those instances, people say Gilligan wasn't a sin, they say Gilligan and his red shirt are the Devil, and that's why he always keeps them on the island. Early Fox and the early WB went through a LOT of television shows that lasted 1 season or less. Some might have worked, but they abandoned everything pretty quickly. Among Fox's early offerings was "Woops!" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woops! A random handful of people survived World War 3 and found a farm, and try to re-establish civilization all over again. My favorite was Frederick Ross, who was a PATHOLOGIST no matter what people say now. He even said he claimed to miss the carve-the-person aspect of pathology in at least 1 episode.

That's the one. I challenged someone once to count how many cups of coffee he finished in the course of the movie, right before they sat down to watch it. When they got back to me, they just busted out laughing. In the first 10 minutes, he's stopped twice. Once, he's in a car that brakes heavily, and once someone shoots the cup out of his hand. The other attempts are a bit more subtle until the closing of the movie. The last line of regular dialogue is "Drink your coffee." He does and flips the cup over his shoulder as the narrator closes things out. So, your turn!
