  1. Without his post, I'd forgotten HUMMA KAVULA! since he wasn't in the book. However, his babelfish is on the fritz. Although "zarking" was never defined, its meaning can be discerned from usage in the books. ("Zark off!") As for frood, it was actually defined. Frood- "really amazingly together guy." ========================== "Hence a phrase that has passed into hitchhiking slang, as in “Hey, you sass that hoopy Ford Prefect? There's a frood who really knows where his towel is." (Sass: know, be aware of, meet, have sex with; hoopy: really together guy; frood: really amazingly together guy.)”
  2. That's from "Storm Front", first book of the Dresden Files, since Harry Dresden is a wizard (Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, if memory serves.) However, that hasn't been made into a movie yet, nor have I heard plans to do so. So, it has to be the movie with the 2 names- HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE or HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE.
  3. I was hoping for the name of either band as well- T-Rex did the original and Power Station did the remake- but that was the correct song.
  4. No. Are you suggesting he wasn't who he said he was? Maybe he should call a cop. ;)
  5. "Well you're built like a car, you've got a hub-cap diamond-star-halo. You're built like a car, oh, yeah." (Of course, either answer is acceptable.)
  6. A famous writer explained the difference between three different things in books or movies- terror, horror, and the gross-out. He claimed he went for terror, and if he missed it, he went for horror. However, he wasn't proud- if he couldn't manage either, he would go for the gross-out. Which writer was this?
  7. "You're Abe Frohman? The Sausage King of Chicago?"
  8. The Cars, "JUST WHAT I NEEDED."
  9. "You can't always get it, when you really want it. You can't always get it at all."
  10. In the Odd Couple, "The Exorcists", Felix is convinced they have a ghost in their air conditioner- the ghost of Irving Cohen, who died in the apartment and was its occupant directly before Oscar. They went to the office of Dr Clove to consult with him. Dr Clove had an interesting discussion with them, and said he could come that evening, but would have to charge them for a house-call. He would arrive just before midnight. If he ascertained the presence of a spirit, he would proceed to the exorcism. Felix should have prepared for him bayleaf, cloves of garlic, incense and half a chicken (usually around midnight he gets a little hungry, and we knew he was attending Weight Watchers meetings.) When he arrived, Feiix was wearing a black robe and a lei of garlic buibs, and was flinging flower petals around. When the doorbell rang, Oscar answered it. Dr Clove arrived. *to Oscar* "Good evening. Where is the chicken?" Dr Clove saw Felix and burst out laughing. Oscar: "*laughing* That's authetic!" "Pardon me Mister Ungar. How a man dresses in his home is his business. I am merely laughing because you look funny." "I wore this for the exorcism!" "Mister Ungar, that outfit is worn in cases of Demonic Possession and once in a while for Trick or Treat, but it doesn't work here." Only those listening CLOSELY can make out the question when Dr Clove walks in. I heard it by chance one night and lost it completely.
  11. Has to be ROBERT GUILLAME as "Benson". His spinoff series included Rene Aberjonis (spelling?) who played Constable Odo Ital.
  12. Daryl Hannah Crazy People Dudley Moore
  13. That's him- a big actor with many roles, usually remembered for "King Tut" on Batman or stealing scenes in "the Odd Couple" as Hugo Lovelace the landlord or Dr Clove the exorcist. George's turn!
  14. Survivor's "The Search Is Over." Not a very Survivor-style of song, but there you go.
  15. Edwin Flagg William Howard Taft Big Sam Hollis Deputy Alvin Potts Sorak 'Diamond' Jim
  16. Didn't see it, but I'm pretty sure the cast includes Kathy Bates Titanic Leonardo di Caprio
  17. Yes, Curse of the African-American Pearl.
  18. Ok, some competitions this round. Name ANY to take the round. A) In this competition, dog owners/dog trainers run obstacle courses with their dogs, and take challenges with them finding things by detecting scents. Often there's a part where the trainer and dog travel together on a zipline or down a wall. The winning dog is that episode's champion, referred to by the show's title. B) Surprise! You're not here to audition for a cooking show. You're here to participate in a cooking competition! You will now go head-to-head against a professional chef (a different chef each episode) in making a dish around a selected ingredient. A panel of average people will judge the results. If you get at least ONE vote (from a panel of 6), you win the money. C) The best of the best Food Network chefs face off one-on-one in a randomized competition with a random ingredient, random kitchen tool, random heating element, random style, and random time limit. The dishes are presented by 2 other chefs/ food blogger experts, who inform the expert judges what was made (to make it a blind judging.) The winners move on, and the overall winner gets money and a big victory belt, having proven to be the best of the best of the best. D) This defunct cooking show was a one-on-one contest between 2 professional chefs, more for bragging rights, and for the odd trophy. The show's title made it sound like it was a battle to the death, not a cooking competition. E) This is the game show that Saturday Night Live used to make fun of, often. The show's host has changed hands quite a bit in the last few years.
