  2. I can't recall any of his words - but I do recall him being an unctuous piece of work a few years back, when he had his time in the public media.
  3. Side note - Cotton must have been doing that, to miss the post on this very same subject 15 minutes or so ago. Right?
  4. They certainly did, 99. See flicks up to the '40's and perhaps some in the '50's. It wasn't for every film, but it was not uncommon.
  5. Are you referring to an...overture?
  6. It certainly is. See also Syria, Pakistan, Iran these days. What would the result have been if the governments of Japan and SK pushed this issue you speak of, in the '80's? War, millions dead, over this 13 year-old?
  7. Please - there are never 10 minutes worth of opening credits. Nice try... What I want is the actors' names, their stage names, and a picture of their mug would also be nice.
  8. Wait a minute - you aren't blaming the police?
  9. Eh - weather, your team's injuries, the other team's injuries, close calls, you name it. There is season after season - teams that are close to the playoffs. Good for Whitner...unless you think it's a piece of bad juju that will come back.
  10. $1,000 check payable to the Erie County General Fund...
  11. Happy B'day, Hops! :thumbsup:
  12. 1. Why are the credits for the cast often at the end, these days, other than in some cases, a name of a star or three during the opening credits? The old movies listed the headliners after the movie title was displayed, then listed "The Cast" or "The Players, showing the names used in the flick, and then the real name of the actor. Some of them would show their faces before the presentation started...very informative. And when the movie was over, some would again list the players. For quite a time it's often that all the others - the grips, the technical people, the cameramen, costume designers, the law firm, etc., scroll by before the actors are listed - and again, the actors' names are not connected with the stage names. And why do they use such small print in many cases? 2. Why do films have have these multiple layers? - by that I mean...A Film by XXX...Produced by YYY...In Association with ZZZ...then Pixar, Paramount, Colombia Films etc. Is this done to bury any potential liability?
  13. Happy B'day's, gents!
  14. - yes indeed! I do think there is a qualitative difference, though. You don't get in a heated argument with a cheeseburger, one doesn't dial a donut and so forth. I have very, very seldom used a phone while driving. I find it much more distracting than mindlessly chewing on food. There have been numerous horrific accidents in my area due to phone distractions. Including some of the ones where 3 or more kids died as the driver was chatting or texting. There was a national dialogue in Germany when the first cup holders started showing up there. "If you want a beverage, stop and have one.". For the longest time, the radios in German-manufactured cars would not go off with the ignition. The idea being...you turned the radio on, and you can now turn it off.
  15. ...Significant changes in auto construction, anti-lock brakes, (the costs of which is certainly passed on to the buyer), seat belt laws and enforcement of same.
  16. Here is the TSN site: http://www.tsn.ca/nfl/ I read it, but I don't see where these "rankings" are coming from. Please direct me.
  17. It was the days of the head slap and the bump and run. 50% completions was a big thing then. And long before one seasons' work got tongues wagging for a HOF berth. But I can't see Kemp as getting into the HOF. Decent QB for the era.
  18. Seems so... Bad thought - Palmer drops to #4 in 2003 and the Jets pick him.
  19. Don't forget Canada! http://www.eia.doe.gov/pub/oil_gas/petrole...ent/import.html
