I think you're implying that I'm a Geek.....????

Virgil

"techno-junkie" is the politically correct term for it... (but then again, I'm never PC)

 

[goingthedistance]

I'm impressed, Paul! I thought #71 would be hard... Try again on 68 -

I just remember watching Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind as a kid and being freaked out during the scene where the kid is abducted by aliens and his mom is trying everything she can to keep him safe. Of course, all the while appliances and toys and everything else are turning on and the screws start unscrewing themselves...pretty creepy even now!!!

Just a thought, but if we average about 360 posts a day we will hit post # 052706 by our cruise....

Mary - That is great! Enjoy! Go figure, many of us get excited over a washer.




Sue

Go figure, I am reading all this and starting to worry about mine, MIL broke mine 2 years ago after being here 1 day so we bought the LG front loader. Yikes she is coming back in 2 months so I hope it lasts!!!!!!!

 

[mickeymo]

oops typo - Paul, I meant I was impressed that you knew #70 - The jazz singer - talk about knowing useless and obscure information...

 

[itdjbw]

I know there is plenty of Useful info in that head...just a lot of non essential info also but I guess that is why I love you

There go the 'pug''s being sweet to each other again!!!!

just bought a new washer 2 years ago - the dryer is going on 16 years old - I still remember the salesman 16 years ago was astounded that I went for the lower priced dryer - instead of the model that matched my washer. My retort was that they won't stop working at the same time so, I won't have a matched set then...Besides, I don't entertain in my laundry room - so, who cares if they don't match...

 

[mickeymo]

other obscure but, sentimental movie trivia - Poltergeist was John's and my 1st unofficial date as part of a group in h.s. - I hated scary movies, so when he asked me, I told him I was grounded - I really was - he didn't take no for an answer and stopped by my dad's classroom to ask if I could go - Dad didn't even hesitate and said "sure" - Dad, remember I'm grounded - oh, you can go anyway... Gee, thanks Dad...

The swimming pool scene still creeps me out...Useless Poltergiest Movie trivia - just found out the swimming pool was filled with real skeletons...the actress didn't know it until after the scene was filmed...Now that really creeps me out!!!

We are only 289 away from another milestone so I am sure THAT will be accomplished by Friday evening..

 

[dzneprincess]

cool TOP !!! It is so quiet here lately....I know OM is away but what is Stacys excuse???lolol

 

[chip&dale&fun]

S'cuse me... I'll have you know that this head ALSO contains some very USEFUL information... just don't ask me for directions to ANYWHERE.



But does anybody know WHY "HAL" is named "HAL"??? (OK... maybe I AM full of useless information)... MarkRG, you probably know this one.

I know, I know, I know.....googled....nope was wrong....not an "idiot" but wrong....

white code coming

HAL 9000
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
HAL 9000 (Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer) is a fictional computer/character in the Space Odyssey series, the first being the novel and film 2001 A Space Odyssey, written by Arthur C. Clarke in 1968.

In other languages than English, HAL might have another name: for instance, in the French version of 2001 A Space Odyssey, his name is stated as being CARL, for Cerveau Analytique de Recherche et de Liaison ("Analytic Research and Communication Brain"). However, the famous camera plates still read "HAL 9000".

Some versions state that the name HAL was derived by a one letter shift (see Caesar cipher) from the name IBM, although this has been denied by both Arthur C. Clarke and his fictional character Dr. Chandra, who states that "by now, any idiot should know that HAL stands for Heuristic ALgorithmic" (2010).

 

[chip&dale&fun]

No... but I should have added you to the list of 'most likely to know that one'...

ooopsss.....sorry - see white print.......

 

[chip&dale&fun]

why thanks to all of you who have not pointed out that I have misspelled November in my siggie....how long has that been there....geez

I am not a huge movie fan, but KIKIPUG she has a head full of useless information, unless you are on Jeopardy or Millionaire, then it is not so useless..Never play against her in Trivial Pursuit or watch Jeopardy with her...VERY ANNOYING

Karen - You and Augie will get along perfectly. I think I will get along with Ray just fine. I feel like an idiot when we watch Jeopardy and I always have to be on Augie's team when we play Trivial Pursuit. He's too good.

 

[MarkRG]

I'll see what I can do to liven things up..

First, glad You got the tests over garRy!!!!!!!!!!

As far as I can tell, I have sofar made 107 buttons for this cruise, but this number may not be right, I dug up a spreadsheet on Mary's pc that may be an older one.

The highest number sofar was 168 buttons for the DVC Member Cruise 2005.

Now for the quiz(I know some have been answered already):

85. My precious. LOTR, Bilbo is the first to say it when Gandalf mentions giving the ring to Frodo in the first of the three. I've seen all three far too many times. Just don't ask me how Orlando Bloom doesn't even muss his hair after fighting thousands of nasties with his bow, including climbing all over the giant elephant thing. I have no idea either.


92. Cinderella story. Outta nowhere. A former greenskeeper, now, about to become the Masters champion. It looks like a mirac...It's in the hole! It's in the hole! It's in the hole! Bill Murray, Caddyshack - I root for the gopher


95. Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary. Robin Williams, Dead Poets Society- one of his best movies, and if you like that, Check out some of his later, and less popular pieces, Final Cut is quite good.

72. Mother of mercy, is this the end of Rico? Is this meant to be a trick question? I know it's from Home on the Range, or, is it maybe also from West Side Story? (the only other place I can think of someone named Rico)
