  1. and your husband wants to be a girl
  2. In the week it debuted, this series was rated dead last in the Nielsens. As the show progressed, some critics complained that the laugh track was too loud. There was no laugh track. A disclaimer was added a few seasons in to let viewers know the show was filmed before a live studio audience. When one of the main supporting characters died, writers created a new character to replace him. The new character shared the first name of the actor who would play him. This is supposedly a total coincidence.
  3. You had me at Universal. The car was gravy. The rest just clicked, although my memory of the series is clouded by the years since I saw it. Can't forget Yvonne DeCarlo, though.
  4. Name the Actor: Hint: Feels like I will NEVER run out of roles to post. Doc Robbins Francis Fratelli "Snake" Bob Keane Cosmo Renfro
  5. The Munsters. Educated guess, but I would be SHOCKED if I were wrong.
  6. Willie was the "nice" visitor who was originally slated for assignment to the Middle East but sent to Los Angeles at the last minute. As such, his English often left a lot to be desired. "Excuse please, I am just." He meant "lost." "I guess I'm not what you would call an ox." "That's FOX, you dope!" The visitor who went looking for a mouse where he could have been seen was someone else entirely. Destler, of course, was the actual name of the Phantom of the Opera -- in the Robert Englund version of the tale.
  7. English not well to me. I wasn't entirely sure, because multiple people have played the role of Destler. Gerard Butler Lon Cheney Claude Raines But for some reason I fixated on Willie.
  8. 'Jefferson Smith Goes to Washington" doesn't have the same ring to it. Mr. Smith, on the other hand... You're up, Mr. Wolf.
  9. so the donate button is still up. read into that.
  10. He wasn't a doctor. He does get a title in the course of the movie, but before that he's just plain old...
  11. Read my very very first character. He's a title character, as you would address him formally.
  12. Well, the Exorcist was not New York, and the sequels, dreadful as they were, did actually seem to be actual sequels. Same with the Godfather, though even the bad sequel was pretty good. So, a movie that takes place in New York, with a sort-of-sequel that prominently features an underground set... OH!
  13. And you're wrong. And let's save time: Your second guess is wrong too.
  14. Thanks. I'm not going to let this one drag out. Next clue will be a giveaway, although if you take a step back, the first one is a giveaway already.
  15. If I'm right, great. If I'm wrong, ignore. Name the Actor: Jefferson Smith Wyatt Earp Ben McKenna McCaulay Connor Ransom Stoddard
  16. Not sure why I didn't answer this yesterday, but Sam Carmichael was the giveaway for me. Of course, hearing this guy sing was the equivalent of having my ears involuntarily pierced. Get it!?!?! Never hire someone named PIERCE to sing. Brosnan. Pierce Brosnan.
  17. Because they are indicators that this story is bull. People don't live to be 480 years old, start a 120-year construction project, have a kid or three, endure a worldwide (literally or from his perspective) catastrophe, survive it, then live another couple of hundred years.
  18. Do I want indisputable proof that a hyperbaric atmosphere existed 10,000 years ago, and that such a condition in the atmosphere would account for 900-year lifespans? Yeah. And I don't think that's asking too much. What I DO think asks too much is when pseudoscientific know-nothings throw words around hoping that their audiences are too stupid to call them on their bulls hit, expecting people to accept the possibility without a SCRAP of supporting evidence, citing articles written by other know-nothings who link to articles that actually disprove their f-ing case. And yeah, I'm far more educated than iron and bronze age goatherders who thought the sky was a dome holding back a wall of water. I thought you were, too, for a minute there.
  19. This is, of course, the pot calling the kettle black. It's obvious that you've been here to throw sh*t at this discussion to see what sticks, and to promote your own religious beliefs at the expense of an actual analysis of the evidence. You repeatedly come here and declare things to be so despite the evidence weighing against your position (ie, I'm more sure of the existence of Adam and Eve than I am of George Washington: NO ONE who takes these things seriously believes your statement to that effect was correct -- you were either being dishonest or dumb as a brick). Oh, for those checking: The "hyperbaric conditions" that existed prior to the flood existed hundreds of thousands of years ago. The flood is alleged to have happened roughly 5,000 years ago. You cannot argue with a straight face that Methuselah lived to be 969 years old because of the oxygen content in the atmosphere 190,000 years before he was born. Hyperbaric conditions do not prolong life by hundreds of years. If you think they do, by all means, show the research and collect your Nobel Prize. Stop relying on pseudoscientific websites that prop up religion by misrepresenting science to gullible audiences. I do hope you keep your promise to be done with this thread unless you decide to change your approach and get real about the evidence and what it shows. Equating your wishful thinking with evidence has derailed this thread long enough. Change your diaper.
  20. By the way, specific references to specific world leaders don't automatically make the stories credible. They just help. Knowing Jesus' crucifixion took place under Pontius Pilate, for example, leads the overwhelming majority of scholars to believe Jesus was a real person who was really executed. But knowing that Forrest Gump met Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon, not to mention Elvis Presley, John Lennon and Dick Cavett, does not make Gump any more real. But maybe Gump did exist, because we all know there was a war in Vietnam and a lot of soldiers fought and survived it. Some of them even earned Purple Hearts.
