In a few short weeks, I’m going to have to come up with a new idea.

1. I don’t give a fuck about your war. Or your president.
Solved by Mrs. B. (comment #7).

2. Perhaps he knew, as I did not, that the Earth was made round so that we would not see too far down the road.
Solved by Katrinawitch (comment #5).

3. In ancient times, hundreds of years before the dawn of history, an ancient race of people—the Druids. No one knows who they were or what they were doing.
Solved by Evn (comment #1).

4. If you work with me, I’ll help you say “fuck off” more clearly.
Solved by Melville (comment #2).

5. I hate Illinois Nazis.
Solved by Dawa Lhamo (comment #3).

6. You know what word I’m not comfortable with? Nuance. It’s not a real word. Like gesture. Gesture’s a real word. With gesture you know where you stand. But nuance? I don’t know. Maybe I’m wrong.
Solved by Melville (comment #2).

7. Lady, you take my picture with that thing and I’m gonna rip your brassiere off and strangle you with it! You got that?
Solved by George (comment #4).

I guess you all aren’t huge fans of ’70s movies. I think it was a GREAT decade for film.

Anyway, you finally did it.

We’ve got two left!

I might as well continue the theme through to the end.

1. Everyone has the right to make an ass out of themselves. You just can’t let the world judge you too much.
Hint: Another quote: “Kings died, kingdoms fell. I don’t regret the kingdoms – what sense in borders and nations and patriotism? But I miss the kings.”
Solved by Evn (comment #16).

2. It’s hard for me to take your despair very seriously, Doctor. You obviously enjoy it so much.
Hint: The doctor she’s speaking to was nominated for an Oscar for this role; his fourth and final nomination. (Of four nominations, he had one win.)
Solved by Melville (comment #12).

3. 1st Man: You’re not supposed to eat pickles. It’s high sodium.
2nd Man: I spit out the sodium.
Solved by George (comment #8).

4. You still don’t understand what you’re dealing with, do you? Perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility.
Solved by Evn (comment #1).

5. I’ve never kissed a member of the clergy before. Would it be a sin?
Solved by Hazel (comment #7).

6. Are you gonna pull those pistols or whistle Dixie?
Solved by Evn (comment #3).

7. Now listen to me you benighted muckers. We’re going to teach you soldiering. The world’s noblest profession. When we’re done with you, you’ll be able to slaughter your enemies like civilized men.
Solved by Hazel (comment #7).

It took a hint, but you did it!

…for the last remaining Trivia question.

After two (?) years of Tuesday Trivia, I finally screwed it up. Here it is, late evening, and nothing posted. Evn must be tearing his hair out. Busy, busy day at work, with lots of eyes over my shoulders, then an evening out with coworkers and The Boss’s Boss.

Okay, so here we are. Let’s continue our theme of the past weeks and do Quotes of the 1960s.

1. I’m walkin’ here!
Solved by Hogan (comment #1).

2. I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal.
Solved by Hogan (comment #1).

3. Your father never laid a hand on me until we were married. Then I… I just gave in because a wife has to. A woman doesn’t enjoy those things the way a man does. She just lets her husband come near her in order to have children.
Solved by Ben (comment #2).

4. I already know an awful lot of people and until one of them dies I couldn’t possibly meet anyone else.
Solved by Trevor J (comment #6).

5. Power is not a toy we give to good children. It is a weapon. And the strong man takes it and uses it.
Solved by George (comment #7).

6. I can eat fifty eggs.
Solved by Melville (comment #3).

7. She has the face of a simpering sheep. And the manners. But not the morals. I don’t want her near me.
Hint: Spoken by a queen.
Solved by Hogan (comment #12).

Smooth work, kids!

…might as well continue the theme.

1. “This may come as a surprise to you, but there are some men who don’t end every sentence with a proposition.”
Solved by George (comment #3).

2. “I never faint because I am not sure that I will fall gracefully and I never use smelling salts because they puff up the eyes.”
Solved by Tom Hilton (comment #2).

3. “You know, I’ve often thought that the gangster and the artist are the same in the eyes of the masses. They are admired and hero-worshipped, but there is always present underlying wish to see them destroyed at the peak of their glory.”
Solved by George (comment #3).

4. “I believe a man is as big as what’ll make him mad. Nobody around here seems big enough to get you mad.”
Solved by Amy (comment #7).

5. “An old lady on Main Street last night picked up a shoe. The shoe had a foot in it.”
Solved by Melville (comment #1).

6. “Audiences don’t know somebody sits down and writes a picture; they think the actors make it up as they go along.”
Solved by Melville (comment #1).

7. “Don’t you know that a man being rich is like a girl being pretty? You wouldn’t marry a girl just because she’s pretty, but my goodness, doesn’t it help?”
Solved by Tom Hilton (comment #2).

I hope the odd hours gave different people a chance to play. You always ask for that.
