:heh: I get it TOM.....AND THE ANSWER IS ***DRUM ROLL PLEASE*** PALADIN Thank you, thank you, thank you berry much.

The American public should raise hell about this. This should be the proverbial straw.

letha g: How do you know the post wasn't by Mr. Caruso, using an alias?

I think Paladin is roaming around here someplace, isn't he, TOM? Paladin, Paladin where do you roam? (remember the song?) Have Gun Will Travel Reads the Card of a Man...

We used to watch "The Twight Zone" after school at 4:00 and get all bejeebeed out.

Who was it that used to say..."The Twilight Zone, the zone between the zone, between the zone"?

Ok. I reckon ya'll give up on mine. You're too darned young to appreciate them, but trust me, they were great. Heavy breathing opening scene: "Splendor in the Grass" "We can put them in orbit" is from "The Loved Ones" which played primarily in artsy off-campus near university theatres because it was such a dark comedy. Completely utterly hilarious! Haven't seen it again since then so I don't know how well it has aged, politically correctly speaking. But I will admit if you don't appreciate Jonathan Winters comedy, you probably wouldn't like this film. I'll never forget a scene on the "Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" when he was playing Maudie Frickert and was in a hospital bed in "her" gown. One of the brothers came into the room and sat down beside him/her (Jonathan was famous for ad-libbing) and Maudie lifted the sheet and said, "You wanta see my toys?" On live national television. You gotta love the guy!

I had to watch "Oh Brother" twice. It took me that long to get the vernacular down. No wonder I didn't recognize the words in print!

Obedience When everybody on earth was dead and waiting to enter Paradise God appeared and said, "I want the men to make two lines. One line for the men who were true heads of their household, and the other line for the men who were dominated by their women. I want all the women to report to St.Peter." Soon, the women were gone, and there were two lines of men. The line of the men who were dominated by their wives was 100 miles long, and in the line of men who truly were heads of their household, there was only one man. God said, "You men should be ashamed of yourselves, I created you to be the head of your household! You have been disobedient and have not fulfilled your purpose! Of all of you, only one obeyed. Learn from him." God turned to the one man, "How did you manage to be the only one in this line?" The man replied, "My wife told me to stand here."

lizrbit: We talkin' "Caddy Shack"?

TOM: Wise words, indeed.

Ooooh I just remembered another fantastic movie and line from it: "We can put them in Orbit!" (spoken by Jonathan Winters)

I've seen Better Off Dead. I don't remember the quote or the scene. Darn somebody around here might be getting old. Eeeek! Carlene: I have to admit that, in spite of everything, I loved to watch Marlon Brando in movies. I remember seeing "One Eyed Jacks" for the first time. It made quite an impression. It had other memorable lines. One of my favorite opening scenes in a movie was:__________________(fill in the blank.) First lines of the movie were HEAVY BREATHING!!!! I was in high school and what a "message" movie that was!

Cory: OMG! I'm surprised you haven't just squeezed him to death by now! He's adorably squeezible! DerickM: Isn't that just like a cat! They make the decisions. All you have to do is feed them and pet them when they decide they want some strokes.

Twoo dollars. I want my twoo dollars.

Bull is beautiful. Is that what you call him? Dozer maybe? I've always wanted a bulldog. I thought maybe I would get a Pug since they're smaller. But I wound up with two Min. Schnauzers. Go figure. Hope Maggie's not reading this over my shoulder - she always sits in the chair behind me when I'm on the computer. She's soooo smart! One funny thing about that is that the chair she sits on is also a swivel office chair. I left the room one day and heard her barking forlornly. I came back in the office and her chair had turned completely around and was up against and facing the wall. There was no way for her to safely jump down. She's smart, but she hasn't figured out how to turn the chair completely back around yet.

Wheet: I don't know. What movie did that come from? (I prefer this universe.)

Wow Cory! Congratulations. You're doing really well! Best of luck to your wife.

GRAVITY BOOTS! Gravity boots are the answer!

Carlene: Like very, very fine wine.

sandranoelle: I think if I could answer that question I could make a million dollars. It is a tough one. We're all doing this for the first time and learning as we go. I have had several fills and the first week or two I have decent restriction and then not much of anything. By decent restriction, I mean that I am not terribly hungry and I can't eat quickly or too much. After that restricted feeling wears off (after 1 or 2 weeks), I get hungry and think about food all the time and seem to lose ground and can even gain some. The dietician told me today that she thinks I still don't have enough restriction. I'm just hardly losing any weight. I still get too hungry. I've had to slow down a little, but I can still eat too much at each meal. I learned that when you first get a fill there is probably some swelling and that explains why you feel more restricted at first. Once the swelling goes down, you get the munchies and start eating too much. The bottom line is that I still haven't reached that "sweet spot" everyone talks about. That is where you don't obsess about food, you don't get hungry unless you wait too long to eat (4 hours or more) and you have to eat very slowly and are satisfied with much less food at each meal. Your doctor's office should have some key questions to ask you that tells them if you are restricted enough. If they are cautious with their fills, like my doc, there's not a very big chance that you will get overfilled.

Carlene- we are of a similar vintage!

Oh, you must mean that the ones that were already in circulation are selling from individuals, like on EBay, right? Not that the government is selling them. That would be a good way for them to make a little extra money on us, huh?

Where the heck am I every time one of these dadblamed mistakes happens! Those coins will be worth a whole lot more than $50 one day! I am surprised they sold them, they usually gather them all back in, don't they?

Betcha can't get this one..."Get up. Get up, you scum sucking pig!" Hint: Spoken by Marlon Brando.
