Saw that show last night race. Pretty kewl for b-cast tv. We made a game of it and tried to pick the line before they gave it. I'm not a real movie buff but this wasn't real hard, it being the top 100.

Thanks for the entertaining post.

A very 'agreeable' av there, heh. Want me to let him rest his neck a sec or so every cycle?

I thought that it was pretty kewl that some of what we think was said really wasn't. Like, nobody said "Play it again, Sam" in Casablanca

And it wasn't "Come up and see me sometime." It was "Come up sometime and see me."

Close but no cigar..

racehorse,

Just got a good raise and were shifting,....or switching to vibe. 24/7 for Duke Energy.

:cool: List and thanks for the entry that's very intresting to read. Some years back another poll had Arnold's quote from 'The Terminator' as #3 and here it's a #37.

Just this morning in the Courier paper a reporter reported his 45 minute flight in a FA-18 Navy Blue Angel Hornet jet. As you read it you will laugh repeatedly.:D http://www.courierpress.com on June 23, 2005. I had to post this addition for all pirates who will roll laughing.

Heck! I may put it here in The Brig in time. I may ask my wife to type it for me.;)

See you on FF, and Dale gave me my avatar too!

Hi MK :) ,

Glad to hear you got a raise. :)

Very funny story, MK. "Never Again", eh? ;)

You also have a great avatar. Dale is very talented. :) I am looking forward to seeing the new "Batman Begins" movie but will probably wait and buy a DVD copy when it comes out in a few months.
