  1. During WW 2, the Japanese made over 9000 balloon bomb attacks on the continental US with only an estimated 300 landing , but only one of these resulted in the deaths of civilians, Name the state and approximate vicinity in the state, e.g., Northern, Southern, Western, Eastern in which it happened and how many civilians died? Extra points if you can name the rural town , or the closest city 50 miles away it happened in .
  2. Yes that's right. Billy Joel's has been divorced three times, married a fourth time, and no doubt, that has to add more pressure financially. BJ just released a new album this week which I hope has got some hits on it. "Turn the Lights Back On" it's called. I didn't know anything about the embezzlement WordWolf. That had to be rough on him.
  3. "I've been searching for something Taken out of my soul Something I'd never lose Something somebody stole I don't know why I go walking at night But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life Until I find what it is I've been looking for" "In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep Through the jungle of doubt To a river so deep I know I'm searching for something Something so undefined That it can only be seen By the eyes of the blind In the middle of the night I'm not sure about a life after this God knows I've never been a spiritual man Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river That runs to the promised land"
  4. Yep, you got enough Raf. I figured you might. "Staring at my tits" is Stranger than Fiction. You're right, it is bizarre. The line "I suggest you pick up the dog poop" is Kate and Leopold as is "the greatest erection on the continent" quote. There is an Office Space line also, "Okay, sounds like somebody's got a case of the Mondays". Very Impressive Raf. FFT ""It's a dangerous thing, ambition. It practically ruined Mickey Mouse's career". is a quote by Rex Reed from 1970 film Myra Breckinridge.
  5. Oh, alright. No one got "Honey Pie" so I'll go again. "I've been searching for something Taken out of my soul Something I'd never lose Something somebody stole I don't know why I go walking at night But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life Until I find what it is I've been looking for"
  6. Yes, and yes and yes again. But Hugh Jackman did quote one of the lines.
  7. I wonder if Raf would have gotten any of those obscure movie lines or not, lately he's been out of the loop. But if anyone wants to post anything they can go for it.
  8. It's obscure for sure, but most of the songs on the "White Album" are just that. Obscure. If you listen to "Revolution #9" it comes off completely unlike "Revolution" even though it's the same song. The White album was a compilation of things that the band had laying around and with a little genius on the part of George Martin and because the "Fab Four" weren't into being "Fab" anymore, some songs like this one, "Honey Pie", "Helter Skelter", "Savoy Shuffle" and "Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monkey" remain obscure today but it highlights the eclectic achievements that the Beatles were always about.
  9. Ah, the writing on the wall then, so to speak. Thanks George. How's that for a diatribe? Thanks again WordWolf, I learned something I didn't know, even it was just Spanish. And I think it's been no secret as I've alluded to this from time to time that I don't consider myself particularly academic, and there are so many things that I'm still learning that I don't know about, most assuredly the result of my lack of applying myself at a younger age, and as a result now, I've become somewhat (no, not somewhat but) I am now an Opsimath who's trying to learn some things I should have picked up on earlier but didn't. You guys are great. Thank you for the listen.
  10. WordWolf we know it's not whatever 'White House' is, but what we do know that it is is a movie line from the iconic Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman movie "Casablanca". I'm curious to learn then however, what correlation there was, if any, between the "White House" and what links "Casablanca" with it. I'll wait for your response, and I'm curious what it is that you have to say. I hope that there is something to it and that the "off the cuff" comment,. if it is one, is a prelude to something that I'm not aware of, and now, more to the point......I know that you know, WordWolf, what movie the line "Here's looking at you, kid?" (ad-libbed I believe) is from, but I wonder what made you post White House? Ad-libbing, kidding, and ribbing aside, I would imagine that the classic "Casablance" movie line is in every list of "Top Movie Lines of All-Time" and at-least at somewhere in it's top ten. So, I know you know it. So, was Ingrid sleeping with President Roosevelt? Or maybe, Mrs. Roosevelt?
  11. Well, yes that is a quote but I was using it because it was fitting to the latest round of quotes.
  12. When Principle Rooney is at the school in "Ferris Bueller" and let's Sloane go home with Ferris (posing as her dad) then, Ferris asks, "Do you have a kiss for Daddy", and upon seeing them kiss, that is what the Principal says! "I guess you guys weren't ready for that yet". Unless someone wants to keep playing, then I suppose I should give it up to a FREE POST.
  13. Big hint: It's from the White Album by The Beatles.
  14. That line is about the construction of a similar object but no, that is not the movie WordWolf. One of the lines I think for sure is from a movie you guys have seen. The others probably not. But in your case WordWolf, that never seems to slow you down from what I can tell playing here. Am I right, have either of you seen Training Day or Hard To Kill?
  15. Usually if no bites are taken that means no one has a clue, especially after 5 days. "She was a working girl North of England way Now she's hit the big time In the U.S.A. And if she could only hear me This is what I'd say [song title], you are making me crazy I'm in love, but I'm lazy So won't you please come home"? Oh, [song title] My position is tragic Come and show me the magic Of your Hollywood song You became a legend of the silver screen And now the thought of meeting you Makes me weak in the knee Oh, [song title] You are driving me frantic Sail across the Atlantic To be where you belong [song title, come back to me (Ooh) (Yeah) I like it like that (ooh ah) I like this kind of Hot kind of music Hot kind of music Play it to me, play it to me Hollywood blues Will the wind that blew her boat across the sea Kindly send her sailing back to me? T-t-tee Now, [song title] You are making me crazy I'm in love but I'm lazy So won't you please come home? Come, come back to me, [song title] Ha, ha, ha Hoo-woo-doo ooh-ooh Bo bo Buh-huh-buh wa-ooh-uh bo bo [song title, song title]
  16. Tina Louise will turn 90 in a few weeks. Is that crazy or what?
