Slaine, I noticed you changed your avatar and added a small slide show to your sig bar Ok, here's mine. Should be fairly easy, but the answer should include all of the relevant lyric. We are Kenyan predators

QUOTE (Test4VitalSigns @ Mar 26 2005, 03:51 PM)Unforgiven That's a good one. Anything with Eastwood is usually good. Most of them with the Duke are too. I would have to go with Josie Wales, Pale Rider, and Dances With Wolves.

A shame too, because it's one of my favorite live version songs. It's not even on the ASoH video I know, I know. It wasn't on the setlist during the HYF tour, which was performed on the ASoH video. That may not have been a good question. I should have added In The Mood to the list; that would have ruled out RiR as a guess (sorry Madra). I have an idea for another question but I'm not sure if it belongs here or the connections thread. It will have to wait. Your turn sfuentes

One I remember was when Willis was pushing Arnold to fight a kid named "Stewart The Gooch" or just "Gooch." I always felt Willis was being such a jerk in that one, especially because it wasn't his ass on the line. Mrs Garrett from the Facts of Life started on this show. Seems kind of funny when a spin off can last longer than the original.

John Lithgow going mad in a plane in a bad storm. "There's something on the wing!" I can remember some of the old stories, but not their names. Like the one about the beautiful woman who thinks she's hideously ugly. Turns out she lives in a society of really ugly people and she's the odd one out.

And do you take the bones out? If we took the bones out, it wouldn't be crunchy, now would it?

Look only at the live albums.

Shut up, you American. You Americans, all you do is talk, and talk, and say "let me tell you something" and "I just wanna say." Well, you're dead now, so shut up

Makes you realize just how small and insignificant you are in space or above our 'cradle' - Earth, that is.

Norman and his blonde wife live in Wisconsin. One winter morning while listening to the radio, they hear the announcer say, "We are going to have 8 to 10 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the even numbered side of the street, so the snowplow can get through." Norman's wife goes out and moves her car. A week later while they are eating breakfast, the radio announcer says, "We are expecting 10 to 12 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the odd numbered side of the street, so the snowplow can get through." Norman's wife goes out and moves her car again. The next week they are having breakfast again, when the radio announcer says "We are expecting 12 to 14 inches of snow today. You must park.......... " then the electric power goes out. Norman's wife is very upset, and with a worried look on her face she says, "Honey, I don't know what to do. Which side of the street do I need to park on so the snowplow can get through?" With the love and understanding in his voice like all men who are married to Blondes exhibit, Norman says, "Why don't you just leave it in the garage this time?"

I always enjoyed the end when Carr is announcing the lineup of the opposing team and the Chiefs are just getting more and more surprised and dejected. "Carr: Andre "Poodle" Lussier, defense. Andre, as you know, has been living in semi-seclusion in Northern Quebec ever since the unfortunate Denny Pratt tragedy. Morris Wanchuk: Not Poodle. Carr: And from Mile 40, Saskatchewan, where he now runs a donut shop, number 10, former penalty-minute record holder for the years 1960 to 1968 inclusive, Gilmore Tuttle." "Carr: Here's a name for you nostalgia fans: Clarence "Screaming Buffalo" Swamptown. I'll never forget an exclusive interview in which Swamptown revealed that he calls his hockey stick the "Big Tomahawk," and he usually refers to the opposing players as "the little scalps"." "Carr: Oh...Hold the phone. This young man has had a very trying rookie season, with the litigation, the notoriety, his subsequent deportation to Canada and that country's refusal to accept him, I guess that's more than most 21-year-olds can handle. Number six, Ogie Oglethorpe." Of course the attempts at small talk before the opening face off are classic as well. "I'll straighten you out you leetle ******"

I've always been a little tweaked about three significant issues with Dreamcatcher 1. Colonel Kurtz always kind of came across as a bit of an R Lee Ermey type of character in the book. To cast Morgan Freeman in that role just didn't work. 2. Mr Gray was supposed to be emotionless, cold, and committed to his mission. His first experiences with emotion and humanity come from eating food. Making him a wisecracking jerk with a Brittish accent ruined his scariness. 3. Duddits was just supposed to be a mentally handicapped individual with special power that he helped unleash in the others, not an alien also. As a result, the ending just changed a bit too much from the book.

Name the one that does not belong and why Bravado Natural Science 2112 Distant Early Warning The Spirit of Radio Leave That Thing Alone The Big Money By-Tor and the Snowdog Mystic Rhythms Closer To The Heart Working Man Red Sector A Tom Sawyer

The Manhattan Project It references WWII whereas the others reference the Cold War

Distant Early Warning The only song that does not mention the enemy, either by name or symbolically.

Tough call for me between Moving Pictures, Hold Your Fire, and Presto. Moving Pictures and A Show of Hands were two of the first CDs I ever purchased. So when I listened to MP, I was blown away by the sound, especially of the melodies in The Camera Eye, and the harmonics in the opening of Red Barchetta. Overall, a great feast for the ears. After seeing the video for Time Stand Still and hearing the song, I eventually picked up Hold Your Fire and was astounded by the beautiful intermixing of melodies, combined with the heartfelt lyrics. I first heard Presto while going on a ski trip with a friend. I was once again entranced, this time for the melancholy beauty that seems more prevalent in it. It was also around this time that I met my wife, so that album holds a special place when I hear it. I should add that p/g (never knew what that meant until recently seeing it on the forum) was my first introduction to Rush. I recall seeing the video for Distant Early Warning, oddly fitting protest to Reagan's heating up the Cold War. I've been a fan ever since.

QUOTE (sundog @ Mar 19 2005, 07:14 PM)Living in a fisheye lens, Caught in the camera eye. Limelight? Nice try but I had a feeling that would be the first guess.

Here's a few of my favorites: Territories - Ged's synth work to start the song, especially when he plays the melody, then hits you in the face with a chord, then resumes the melody. Alex's main riff during the verses; I think he starts out palm muting it through the first verse, then just lets it GO! Then Ged plays a similar version on synth during the second verse. I LOVE that riff. Marathon on ASOH - During Alex's solo, Ged plays a few extra synth melodies which add a great touch; I don't think this is done on the studio version. Then near the end Neil drops the tempo right before the final synth melody. Mystic Rhythms on ASOH - I think the synth programming for this was better than for the studio version. The synth bassline has a more primal edge to it. The melody synth also has a prettier sound. Now if Neil's drum track from the studio was added to this, OH BABY! Red Sector A - Neil's rhythm on the hats in the beginning builds up to great sound on the toms and his fills that intro the chorus. Time Stand Still - During Alex's solo, there is beatiful humming in the background. I think Aimee Mann did this also. Tai Shan - The selection of instruments, even if they are electronically reproduced, is very fitting. It makes you feel like you really are in China on the Sacred Mountain. The Pass - The cohesion of the trio, with Ged's bassline going into Alex's chord then into Neil's beat, is truly beautiful. There's also a beautiful wood flute sound in the middle of the second verse. War Paint - Even though the guitar riff during the chorus is simple, it still sounds great. The third chorus, with Ged's bass and synth, combined with Neil's snares, adds to a powerful song. Leave That Thing Alone on DS - great rhythm on the synth. There's sections where the guitar and bass play so close together, it's hard to discern one from the other.

Don't you just hate it when the newbie comes in and gets it on the first try? This one will probably be too easy http://www.ccc.commnet.edu/media/images/photographer.jpg
