restaurant I'm determined to get back to that romantic, candlelit dinner with wine that I was having with waikiki and texasdaisy earlier tonight (apologies to texasdaisy's husband).

wine

Not my normal thing, but I always turn it up when it comes on the radio .

This show never aired in the UK (we had our own version called Family Fortunes), and I never knew about the celebrity specials with the Dukes - my own fault for not trawling Hnet thoroughly enough . Amazingly you can now buy the boxed set on Amazon for under $5. I found this episode, Dukes vs Waltons, on YouTube: A birthday men hate? - now Cathy, you're just rubbing it in .

candlelight

I'd forgotten about the credits - it's always worth watching his movies right to the end. Here's some from one of the Naked Gun movies: Worst Boy: Adolf Hitler General Foreman ...... John Hoskins Foremen ................. Guy A. MacLaury ............................. Joseph Santre ............................. Bernard McPherson ............................. Michael Bunch George Foreman ....... 6'4" 250 lbs. Age: 42 Won: 60 Lost: 3 KO's:65 Production Painters ..... Nick Bridwell ................................ Donnie R. Puga Impressionist Painters .. Vincent Van Gogh ................................ Edgar "Skip" Degas Driver Captain ......... Ray McLaughlin Co-Captain ............. Dan Brooks Navigator ............... Rabbi Brian Thau Bombardier ............. Alan Ladwig Deep Sea Drivers ..... Steve Brodsky ............................ Jimmy Ferrara ............................ Wayne Campbell ............................ Gina August Stock Librarian ........ Suzy Lafer Stock Answer ......... "I'll have it ready in the morning"

It's such a shame they only made 6 episodes of Police Squad. I've lost count of the number of times I've seen them, and they're still funny. I just remebered another of my favorite lines from the first episode: "There'd been a recent wave of gorgeous fashion models found naked and unconscious in laundromats on the west side. Unfortunately, I was assigned to investigate hold-ups at neighborhood credit unions."

It seems like a perfectly reasonable day to have a birthday .

Time to dig out that white suit ...

I was going to start this thread myself, but waikiki beat me to it (news hadn't broken when I went to bed last night). Leslie was responsible for delivering some of the funniest lines in TV/movie history: All-time classic from Airplane I also saw him just last week in a re-run of M*A*S*H. He played the over-zealous Col. Buzz Brighton in The Ringbanger (S1E16). Even though his was a fairly straight part, you could still see some of the trademark facial expressions that we all came to know and love. RIP Leslie.

Roger, is this your ride now?:

Well done everyone - I thought I keep it easy for Thanksgiving . Also I'd like to thank y'all for the birthday wishes. Q. In 'Witness for the Persecution', who or what does Waylon describe as 'something that was as rare as a mule with feathers'?.

Lola - The Kinks Or Weird Al's Star Wars parody, (this is the Lego video ).

(I could only find the live version on YouTube)

Or you could have Weird Al's parody, . Most of the movie in a 2 minute song .

You beat me to it .

MC Roger in tha house. I do listen to some rap/hip-hip, but I'd never come across this duo. dates back to 1992. One of the emcees, Skoob (aka Books) is celebrating his 40th birthday today, 27/11/10 - talk about starting a trend .The lyric is: With a yippedy zippedy Winnie the Pooh bad boy blue Yo crazy got the gusto, what up, I swing that too So nincompoop give a hoot and stomp a troop without a strain Like Roscoe B. Coltrane [sic] They sure don't write 'em like they used to. Rosco also gets a mention in the Westwood Freestyle 2010 event with Eminem featuring Mr. Porter and Royce da 5'9". It is on YouTube, but I'm not linking to it due to the bad language - who'd have thought it, bad language in a rap song . Of course the recent single by Katy Perry features rapper Snoop Dogg and includes a Dukes reference in the chorus:California girls We're unforgettable Daisy Dukes Bikinis on top I'd sit down before you watch the video, Roger - I don't want your wife blaming me for your heart attack . So Roger, I hope you have fun this weekend, tinting your pickup windows, fitting over-sized rims with spinners and draping yourself in bling. Be sure to post the photos .
