Aha! I was thinking about that s....
Is it:

"For sheer panic, it's hard to beat bullets coming up from the floorboards."

You beat me Redsoxfan!!

Thank you, RedSox Fan, for putting me out of my misery! I was getting sloppy there at the end, dropping letters that I had filled in earlier! Good thing I didn't do the long version of the voice over...mentioning how the undercarriage is the least reinforced part of a car and you need a very large caliber to pierce a radiator/firewall. I'd have really screwed THAT up, lol!

okay, your turn!

I had it in earlier...but managed to drop it, worrying about spacing between the words. Eventually I'll get the "hang" of it, right? Congrats on winning the weekly "count" game, T!!

Nice going Melybelle!

I'm so glad you decided to play with us and I promise you that it gets easier.

If you copy and paste your last quote entry, you don't have to worry about dropping letters you've already inserted.

Thanks for a good quote and for keeping the game going.

Ann

okay, OT...watching David Letterman...Top Ten: Excuses for Dick Cheney to not have gone public with the illegal CIA anti-terrorism program. Hilarious!!

I got too caught up with trying to edit the spacing between words. Thanks for your support, Ann!!

Sorry about that, TinChicago! The next time I get another turn, you can have it if you want.

Another long one, because they're fun.

"-------'- - --- ---- --------- ---- -- ------. -----'- -- --- -- ---- ------, -- --- ------- ------- --- -------- ----------- ---'-- -----. -----'- -- ----- ---- --------- -- --- -----------'- ---. ---, -- ------, --- ---- ----- ---- --- ---- --- ---- -- ---- ---'-- ------- ---- ----- -- - ----- --- - ----."

thanks Melybelle! And I saw that Letterman thing too, apropos to our boy, huh?

S, please!

May I have a S please?

You're very welcome.

I missed the DL top ten. I hope someone remembers part of it and puts it at the bottom of a post.

And now back to the business of guessing:

I'll have an "A" please, RedSox_fan.

Thanks.

Ann

Great job!. that line made me bust up. lol.

N, please.


Ann, I think I can get you a copy of the Top Ten tomorrow. My recall is awful, but there were a couple that were along the lines of "what part of 'evil' don't you understand?".

"-------'s a --t ---- --------t t-an -t s--n-s. T----'s n- -a- t- s--- a---n-, s- --- -s-a--- -----a- --- --at---- -n----at--n ---'-- a-t--. T----'s n- --n-- -a-- --a-ant-- -- t-- -n----at--n's -a-.

Letters guessed: A N S T

Alright, I'm off to bed. I'll catch up on new letters in the morning.

Thank you, I'd love to see it!

I came back because I forgot to update the list .............

but as long as I am here and since it's such a long quote,

I'll take an "E" before calling it a night.

Thanks.

Sweet dreams, everybody!

And an R please. See you tomorrow!

How about a T, please?

May I have a C please?

"-r--er-'s a --t --re -----c--t t-an -t s--n-s. T-ere's n- -a- t- s--- ar--n-, s- --- -s-a--- --er-a- --r --ate-er -n--r-at--n ---'re a-ter. T-ere's n- --ne- -ac- --arantee -- t-e -n--r-at--n's -a-.

I'd like an H, please.

I'll try another vowel. How about an "O"?

Thanks

seriously OT, but as promised, Dick Cheney's Top Ten Excuses for the Secret and Illegal CIA Program (courtesy of David Letterman and WorldWide Pants):

10. Was going to make it public, but then I remembered I'm an evil bassturd

9. It was so secret, I didn't even tell myself about it

8. Uh-oh, chest pains, gotta go!

7. Wasn't me; I was judging a water-ski exhibition in Orlando

6. Hellooo--everything I do is illegal

5. Spy program?? I thought it was a pie program

4. No habla Ingles

3. I can't willfully violate the Constitution and the rights of every American citizen-- what is this, Russia??

2. Dude, bros before hos

1. If I announced every evil thing I did, I wouldn't have time to shoot old guys in the face

Melybelle,

That is too funny! Thank you so much. I was half expecting a quail shooting reference but I guess they've used that one up.

Thank you again. You made my day

I'll take a "D" please

Thanks

May I have a G please?

RedSox_fan.........Oh my, it just hit me!

I'll wait and see if someone else gets it.

And maybe I'll help them along a bit too.

To that end, I'll ask you for a "B" please.

Ann

RedSoxfan, I'm surprised you haven't gotten any takers/guessers yet.

So I will solve this one and offer up my turn to anyone who wants it.

I'll check back in a bit to see if there were any takers. If not, I have one ready to go.

Ann


Bribery's a lot more difficult than it sounds. There's no way to shop around so you usually overpay for whatever information you're after. There's no money back guarantee if the information is bad. And, of course, the only thing that you know for sure is that you're handing your money to a thief and a liar. (Michael voice over in Truth and Reconciliation)

I'd like a "U", please. There are just two words I can't remember!

Good job, Ann! I couldn't get back here earlier today. Urgh. oh well.

Congrats, Ann! I guess it's up to you to start the next game.

Not yet, we have to wait for RedSox_fan to confirm and the All Star Game is on!

While we're waiting, if anyone would like to take this round, please speak up!

You got it, LI_Ann! And you're right, I'm late confirming it because the All-Star Game is on. I haven't been on these boards long but you know me so well already.

RedSox_fan,

You can shorten the LI_Ann to Ann if you like. It's what I wanted to use but it was taken.

I thought we'd have to wait until the 7th inning stretch to hear from you.

Everyone must be watching the game because it's really quiet around here tonight and no one took me up on my offer.

Guess I'll go update the list and then post a new quote.

Ann

This one should be a crowd pleaser.


--- ---- - --- ---. -- --- ---------.

-- --- ----- ----. --- ---- - ----

-- -- ---- --- ----- --- --- - ----

--- ------- --- ---‘- ----- -------

---- --- ---- -------- ----.

Just got to put this out there: anyone who is on the board can guess a letter, and if they have enough letters they can totally guess the quote. It just seems like the same few people seem to be guessing the quotes and putting up new quotes every few days that's not what I intended when I started the game, thanks for your enthusiastic response, I'm glad you like it so much, but I want to make sure others feel like they can participate too. Thank you!

OK, can I start with an I please?


I wasn't here because I was over in the Spoiler thread, where MsSully posted the new clip from Movieweb, which all you spoilerphiles should go check out.

Hi Ann, nicely done. That was a long one.

May I start off by asking for an S please?

Here's your I Karendipitee

I- --- ----- ----. --- ---- - ----

How about an A?

Here's an S for TinChicago and an A for LGia19

Hi all. I just got in from chores.

good job ann i couldn't figure out a couple of words in the front of that quote. good job.

because i don't get on until now and do spot hits here during the day most things are solved by the time i get here. so, no matter to me, i enjoy playing.

may i have a "R" please.

May I have a L please?
