George, that is not completely true. But when clues start stacking up and are real simple, and no one else is answering, then I reply, sometimes with a correct answer, sometimes with a silly reply. btw, I am typing a new name the hymn for Epiphany. Doctor Who rules.
If a clue doesn't get answered fast, I often get impatient, and keep giving more clues, sometimes I'm glad when someone takes a stab at it, anything to end the misery ....Also, GeorgeSG, keeps my feet to the fire when I get too loose with da rules, in a mentorish good way!

The only difference, of course, is in a war it's also raining on the other side of the street and the people who are chummy over there are trying to kill the people who are over here who are chums.''

Wow. This one's been dormant for a while... "Uh I've just been handed a news flash. The word "Canada" is unrhymeable. It's easier to - I don't know - get drunk and try to climb a bull

Either Anthony Boudain(?) or Andrew Zimmerman. If correct, do I win $1 million dollars?

You are 50% right sir! :)
If this was the lottery, it would be up to at least 5 million by now, if it's Anthony Bourdaine, then the show would be called.....

Ok, TLB, I won't get too picky here about the title, It's No Reservations, I don't think anyone else would be able to get Anthony Bourdain even!

TLB often does "drive-by" posts.
Try this:
"Friends just keep you away from TV."
"Hasn't anyone said you look like someone?"
"Oh, you mean like every famous fat guy in every movie ever?"
"Darling, I need to borrow the iron."
"Dad, I told you. If you want a grilled cheese sandwich, I will make you one."

The 2nd and 3rd quotes definitely sound like MASH.
I can hear Burns saying the 2nd. If it was someone else, he COULD
have said it, at any rate...

"Woah, competition number one."
"I'm just one of the guys."
"Right, hair like silk, body like Monroe and a heart probably as big as all America. Check. Double check."
"I'm just one of the guys."
"What else do you need?"
"How about too eggs easy over… a couple of Bloody Mary's."
"That's affirm..."
"How about a bath with bubbles?"
"Ahh, that's affirm!"
"And a king size water bed with sheets... real sheets."
"Real cotton. How about... how about just a little cease fire?"
"First three requests will take twenty minutes. The last will take a little longer."

"I have some good news and bad news.
This time tell me the good news first.
You are going to be executed in the morning.
Then what's the bad news?
They aren't giving you a blindfold."
...
" if you ever escape...
Yeah?
Be a good fellow and take me with you."
...
"Steal a tank?
We'll give it back... after we take it apart and make blueprints of it.
Well, how do we get ahold of it?
How do we get it in here?
Where are we going to hide a tank?
Where do we take it apart?
Look, I got the idea of stealing it, right? The rest is detail."

Don't we get a trial or anything?
This is Germany. Although I do appreciate your sense of humor.

I am well aware, Colonel, there is nothing you and your men would not do to try to undermine my position, even to have me replaced.
Replace you, are you kidding? We'd do anything to keep you here.
