As a devout reader of these books, I must say I haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about half the time. Okay, maybe I'm not so devout. Moody gives it to him directly, right before the match. If he had not, the implied explanation would have been that Neville (who's VERY good at herbology, you mentioned) gave it to him. I think I agree with you on the foe glass. Never introduce a gun in act one unless it's going to go off in act three. Is that the saying?

All memberships were transferred (look at your joined date). Unless he posts, there's no reason to believe Rocky is here. But I hope he does have a happy birthday.

I figured that since the answer to "where are we" was a year, people would know time travel is involved. And the bit about are you sure we're not in somebody's bedroom is about as clear a reference to Time Bandits as I could think of.

They start on cartoon characters after that. Hurricane Atom Ant, Hurricane Bam-Bam, Hurricane Chilly Willy...

YES!!!!

What "ahem"? We've already got it up here (see post #12). Get with the program, people!

Yes, I imagine he would. Surprised I haven't heard from WordWolf on this one. This kind of movie is right up his alley.

Wednesday is the last day of the Hurricane Season! Hooray! Let's celebrate with a CONE!

The giveaway: if you don't know it after this, just give up: "Do you know where we are?" "Of course I do. 1796, Battle of Castiglione. See?" "Are you sure we're not in somebody's bedroom?"

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the pants! It depends on what the meaning of pants is. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this pants!

Not a bad flick. Not a great one, but not a bad one. You've got to be willing to put the Bible thumping aside, though. In fact, a lot of reasonable things need to be put aside, as well: the only character who has anything approaching a firm grip on reality is the villain. Four of the eight main characters have AIDS. The ending is dumb, to put it mildly. But the music pops, and the manipulative SOBs will force some tears out of you. Everything I need to know I learned from Rent. 1. I can not have a job and not pay my rent for a year before the landlord starts demaning things from me. 2. You can be a 19-year-old junky on your last legs and still look as hot as Rosario Dawson. 3. Whenever I start singing something in someone else's presence, that other person WILL know the words and be able to accompany me in perfect harmony. 4. Everyone has AIDS. 5. You can live right upstairs from Rosario Dawson and not notice. 6. And have a male roommate who doesn't notice. 7. And both of you are straight. 8. You can sell your guitar and buy a car with the money. 9. Killing a yappy dog will make you a hero in some people's eyes. 10. I miss the World Trade Center. (Thank you for that one, Chris Columbus!)

Nope and Nope. Admittedly, this is a VERY tough one. This MIGHT make it easier... "I'll never get the chance to meet Robin Hood again." Oh, stop moaning. He's obviously a dangerous man, unbalanced if you ask me. Giving away what isn't even his! "That's what Robin Hood always did. Even I know that." Of course, you know it all. "He was one of my heroes." Heroes! Heroes! What do they know about a day's work? --- "I'd like to stay." "Jolly good! What's your name?" "Ke..." "Ke? What a jolly nice name. Well never mind, cheerio! Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very, very, very much."

Fear is Pants in the Machinery of Life. What killed that boy? The PANTS in the heart and life of that mother!

Nope. If I were creating the world I wouldn't mess about with butterflies and daffodils. I would have started with lasers, eight o'clock, Day One! --- "We made trees and shrubs. We helped make all this." "Whew! That's not bad." "Yeah. But did we get a thimble full of credit for it? No! All we got was the sack. Just for creating the Pink Bunkadoo." "Pink Bunkadoo?" "Yeah. Beautiful trees that was. Og designed it. 600 feet high, bright red, and smelled terrible."

Oh, all right: Wild at Heart.

Which, I think we can all agree, is often absolutely necessary!

There are still Way Corps Death Eaters loyal to L Craig Voldemortindale? Coooool. He will return! He will return to power!

You would think. But no, it was not Dogma.

Don't we all?

Coca Cola Light? You mean this?...................or this?

"Dead? No excuse for laying off work." --- "God isn't interested in technology. He cares nothing for the microchip or the silicon revolution. Look how he spends his time, forty-three species of parrots! Nipples for men!" "Slugs." "Slugs! HE created slugs! They can't hear. They can't speak. They can't operate machinery. Are we not in the hands of a lunatic?"

The cafe's been getting more and more customers lately, and I've missed my customary cups of coffee for the new folks. I apologize. No slight intended. No way I can remember all the names: Thin Lizzie (?) and themex come to mind immediately, but I'm sure there are others. So, welcome to the cafe, one and all. And how do you take your coffee?

:) okay, in case anyone cares, here's Delta, headed right for Africa!
