  2. quote:Originally posted by Illiterate Wino:"Bring me four fried chickens, and a coke." Same movie as this one: quote:It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses. -- Scott Johnson (ScottJ)
  3. quote:Originally posted by Rasstag:mmmmm... how about... what was the name of the race of beings that vanished in "Forbidden Planet"... (and who played the captain?) The race were called the Krel, and the captain was a very young Leslie Nielsen! -- Scott Johnson (ScottJ)
  4. quote:Originally posted by Team Og Rof A Klaw:"No, no, Doolittle, you talk to it. Teach it phenomenology, Doolittle." I didn't think ANYONE remembered Dark Star. It's interesting to me because it was John Carpenter's final film school project, and is the very first screenwriting project for Dan O'Bannon (who also plays Pinback.) O'Bannon went on to write screenplays for "Alien", "Blue Thunder", "Total Recall", "Invaders from Mars", and a handful of other very successful movies. -- Scott Johnson (ScottJ)
  5. quote:"Attention! Attention! Ladies and gentlemen, attention! There is a herd of killer rabbits headed this way and we desperately need your help!" Night of the Lepus ... the ultimate B-grade creature feature. -- Scott Johnson (ScottJ)
  6. quote:The question isn't, "Why should you work for the NSA?", the question is, "Why shouldn't you?" Good Will Hunting. Try this one. quote:Lieutenant! I have pi$$ed in my pants, and there's nothing anyone can do about it! -- Scott Johnson (ScottJ)
  7. quote:Originally posted by Og's outfit:Here's one that's a bit tougher....... "He's called a big one. Again, it is the legend!" Dune? -- Scott Johnson (ScottJ)
  8. quote:Originally posted by Team X40:And I know the "mmm...thats strange" line, I just have to think about it. NOW I remember ... Airplane II. The ultimate sight gag and one-liner movie. -- Scott Johnson (ScottJ)

  10. quote:He had yellow eyes, so help me God, yellow eyes!Fra- gee- lay - it must be Italian!". "Only one thing in the world could've dragged me away from the soft glow of electric sex gleaming in the window," This is from my favorite Christmas movie, "A Christmas Story". OK, here's my contribution. "It's an 88 Magnum. It shoots through SCHOOLS." -- Scott Johnson (ScottJ)
  11. quote:Originally posted by Jolly B Good:In case you didn't know Garmin sells a special spacer for the battery compartment specifically for handlebar mounted GPSV's. It comes with their handle bar bracket/mount. Not sure if you can purchase it sepearately. If you contact tech support and tell them your unit has been powering down every time you hit a bump, they will send you the little battery spacer, FREE. -- Scott Johnson (ScottJ)
  12. quote:Originally posted by AllenLacy:I personally don’t see how the emissions of GPS which runs on 2 to 4 one and half volt batteries could create enough interence to matter. If you want to confirm that GPS's do radiate, try operating two GPS's side by side sometime. Generally, the accuracy of both units will degrade considerably. However, I agree with you ... the chances of a GPS receiver causing interference to a fully TSO'd FAA-certified unit are epsilon ... but they're nonzero, and that's enough to get them banned in many cases. I'm personally waiting for the first fly-by virtual, probably over a major intersection or fix. (Upon reaching the fix, look down and e-mail me the color of the water tank.)

  14. Beyond sad. I hope these guys hang up their hiking boots and never again wander anywhere that they can't ask directions at the nearest gas station. As geocachers, we're fairly used to not knowing where the cache is, but at least most of us have the good sense to know where WE are. Always. I am eternally happy to know that most geocachers are smart enough never to go anywhere they can't find their way out of, with or without a GPS. -- Scott Johnson (ScottJ)
  15. If you wouldn't buy a food processor made by Honda, or a car made by Sunkist, or a TV made by Frigidaire, why would you buy a GPS made by Cobra? Don't get me wrong, it might be a fine GPS ... but it'll take a lot of fine points to overcome the fact that it was made by a CB radio manufacturer who's never built one before. -- Scott Johnson (ScottJ)
  16. quote:Originally posted by Sugar Kane:Maybe it's just me, but... where's the violin shape? I don't see it. Imagine the body of the violin on the spider's head, just behind the two palps. The neck of the violin trails down the spider's back. It's pretty clear in the posted picture. I was bitten by one of these once, but luckily it was a small immature one and didn't have a ton of venom. It was in a shirt I put on. It bit me on the side, just below my rib cage, and produced a lesion about 3/8" across that took fully three months to heal. Recluses are no fun. Looks like the guy in the picture waited too long to start treatment, though, because it doesn't usually get THAT gory. -- Scott Johnson (ScottJ)
  17. My two cents' worth: A rent-a-cop (as opposed to a real police officer) at a place like Cedar Point has the authority to remove YOU AND your property from the premises. He does not have the right to separate you from your property; that's theft. A real, duly authorized police officer can get away with just about anything he wants, which is why most of them here in Atlanta drive 90 MPH when headed for the donut shop, but pull citizens over for 67 in a 65... -- Scott Johnson (ScottJ)
  18. OK, great idea! I just added my 1351 workunits to the team's total. -- Scott Johnson (ScottJ)
  19. Just because someone can't spell simple words like "Aye", "Matey", "Havasu", "They", and "Treasure" doesn't mean they're a cache pirate. The guy who writes the signs at my local diner is an even worse speller. It's easy to be fooled this way. Some of us who've been around the internet for 15 years or more remember a guy who called himself 'BIFF'. He spelled things REEL KEWL and called everyone D00D, and before long there were about a thousand BIFFs out there, all copycats. What the hell is an AMAGO-AMERICAN, anyway? -- Scott Johnson (ScottJ)
  20. The GPS is probably more accurate than the cop ... the GPS isn't trying to meet a quota! Scott -- Scott Johnson (ScottJ)
  21. Australian Cattle Dog, and Female? Only one choice. That'd be a Sheila. Scott -- Scott Johnson (ScottJ)
  22. <insert failed attempt at ASCII banner here. Darned proportionally-spaced fonts.>
  23. I thought this was a joke. I just tried to post a message with the above referenced word in it, and it actually would not post! Let me go on record as saying this is the silliest, most childish action I've yet seen TPTB take. Honestly, people, it's a WORD -- are you really afraid of it? Let me quote one of this century's greatest philosophers. George Carlin. "There are NO BAD WORDS. There are bad thoughts, bad ideas, bad feelings ... and WORDS." -- Scott Johnson (ScottJ)
  24. Navicache Navicache Navicache. It's just a word, geez. -- Scott Johnson (ScottJ)
  25. Most of the smokers I know are fairly considerate. The ones I have a problem with are the "Smokers' Rights" activists. Their credo seems to be: "I reserve the right to expel poisonous, foul-smelling gases into the very air you breathe, and don't see why you should have the least objection." There is a restaurant here in Atlanta that has a sign that says, 'Smoking Encouraged'. Want to kill yourself slowly by smoking? I say, more power to you ... it could have a positive effect on the gene pool, really. If you're going to do it, though, keep it away from me, or I reserve the right to fart on you. -- Scott Johnson (ScottJ)
