I am still trying to figure out whether it´s better from a movie rating point of view to caress a clothed female breast or to shoot a naked female breast..... ---------------- I'm not quite sure how it would actually work out but here is my best guess. Caressing a clothed female breast could get an "R" rating if the participants somehow expressed pleasure as a result of the act. Brief nudity may be allowed in a "PG-13" movie if it is essential to the violence and not sexual in nature.

"Tubular Bells" 1973 - Mike Oldfield From the "Clockwork Orange" era and more than just the theme for the "Exorcist". It was always great accompaniment music for a variety of illegal and/or immoral activities. I wore out my LP a long time ago and recently got the CD. No Moog, just a lengthy list of instruments and studio mixing. Still amazing. Check the link. Tubular Bells

BUT one thing, that I find truly weird is the american movie rating system. ............... Nick.... still wondering ---------------- Nick, I can understand how confusing our standards must seem. Perhaps the following example will help you. If there is a scene in which a man kisses or caresses a womans breast, the movie will most likely receive an "R" rating. However; if the man stabs the womans breast with a knife or shoots it with a gun, the movie will most likely be rated "PG-13". I hope this example helps clarify our standards of decency for you.

I asked a similar question a while back and got alot of good recommendations. Try this link.

Do you know how hard it is to look cool driving through town in your jeep with the top down listening to this song? ---------------- I like that image. I think I'd keep a copy of the theme from "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" handy just for stop lights though. My guilty pleasure: I like polka music. Alot.

My company does environmental remediation. As part of a fuel spill clean-up at an old bulk plant, we recovered thousands of gallons of mixed gasoline and diesel fuel from several groundwater wells. We set up a locked storage tank to hold about 500 gallons at a time for transport to a disposal facility. Now this is an old, degraded mixture of rotten fuel and scum that costs our clients about $4.00 per gallon to dispose of. Yup, we were robbed several times of hundreds of gallons. Saved our clients some money and thieves got justice at the same time. Their vehicles must have been coughing blood.

A gentleman wouldn't ask and neither will I . The only Joe Cocker I have is an old "Mad Dogs and Englishman" LP. I dug it out thanks to your post. I hadn't played it in a long time. That "Ultimate Collection" looks like a great CD, looks like all the classics. Along the same lines (sort of), how about Bob Seger - "The Distance" (before he sold trucks)? It includes "Shame On the Moon", "Love's the Last to Know", and my favorite song of his - "Roll Me Away."

A few of my favorites to add to those mentioned. Raising Arizona (my vote for the all time funniest movie) Local Hero (very clever with rich Dire Straits music) The Out of Towners (the 1970 version with Jack Lemon and Sandy Dennis) Seven Year Itch (Marilyn) Never Cry Wolf (not really a comedy but some great humor in beautiful film with a Mark Isham soundtrack) Monty Pythons The Meaning of Life

Dang, Parrot beat me by a couple years. I searched the forum archive for "honda ad" before posting. Nothing showed up - my goof. It deserved a rerun anyway.

I did see this on the net a couple years ago. ---------------- Yeah, I thought so too, but then I caught this from one of the articles about the ad.... "At one point three tyres, amazingly, roll uphill. They do so because inside they have been weighted with bolts and screws which have been positioned with fingertip care so that the slightest kiss of kinetic energy pushes them over, onward and, yes, upward. During the pre-shoot set-ups, film assistants had to tiptoe round the set so as not to disturb the feather-sensitive superstructure of the arranged metalwork. The slightest tremor of an ill-judged hand could have undone hours of work." I'll have to watch it again. I like the point at the end where the rear hatch drops and changes the center of mass just enough for the ramp to tip and allow the car to roll forward.

A friend just sent this to me today. I don't know if it's been posted here before but it's pretty clever. Cool Honda Ad

Thanks womanthing. I'm glad that my suggestion from a few weeks ago struck a chord with you. Those songs remind me of good times too. By the way, you have the cutest avatar I've ever seen.

Hey, you big blabbermouth - it looks like you just passed the 1,000 post milestone. And what's all this concrete doing in my doorway?

I posted this link a while ago. It's a long read but you might enjoy it. I am Prince Joe Eboh......

All I know about SET is that the amps look cool. I hope no one is offended, but I ran across this and it's just too fitting to not post with all the talk about chest thumping and falling asleep. EDIT: Better add some smileys here.

Happy Birthday! August 8th used to be my birthday too! My actual birthday is August 5th but my mother mixed up the days and thought it was August 8th. We didn't catch the mistake until I needed a copy of my birth certificate for a passport. Anyway, this week I'm going with "Take Me Back to Tulsa" - Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys (a four cd box set!). The genre is western swing and Bob Wills was the King. An old time fusion of rag, country, folk, gospel, honky tonk, crooning, blues, swing, and, of course, jazz (for those who like jazz ). A piece of America. The recordings in this set (109 of em) are wonderful and full of energy. "Sang it, Tommy, sang it......Aww yeeahh, take it away Mr. Leon."
