2. A dirty joke?

Do enlighten us.

[rzemanfl]

3. Please look it up. I am gunshy after having two posts removed. n/t

[whathehell]

6. No, if it's sexist, offensive material, 'maybe you shouldn't have posted it..

with or without the "tease"....It's grow up time. '.

[rzemanfl]

7. That movie was made in 1964. This place drives me nuts sometimes.

If the dictionary is sexist it isn't my fault. Blame me for a 50 plus year-old joke? Fine.

[whathehell]

10. Sorry, the "victim" pose won't work..

You took it out of 1964 and deliberately made a point of the name...Try again.

[whathehell]

8. If you were really "gun-shy" you wouldn't have posted it

How 'bout deleting the smarmy reference before you get a third hide?

[rzemanfl]

9. If I get tombstoned over a 53 year-old movie then DU is not the board it once was. n/t

[whathehell]

11. Aww., poor widdle you..

Who asked you to post it? You know exactly what you're doing

[rzemanfl]

12. Yes, this is what important as the country falls apart. Sniping at each other on DU.

No wonder we lost.

[whathehell]

19. LOL..You're funny.

That might work as a deflection if it weren't YOU who started it by posting that very NON-important bit of off-color trivia in a 53 year old movie.

[rzemanfl]

20. You said it all, "NON-important bit of off-color trivia" that's what it is. Trivia.

It was you who started the game of "Trivial Pursuit" rather than google a word you didn't know the meaning of.

Let's end this now. K?

[whathehell]

22. That was YOUR contribution, honey

and I didn't need to "google," it, I already knew what it meant, along with the fact that you didn''t have the guts to post it yourself, duh.

[whathehell]

21. No, You did..

I just described it.

[rzemanfl]

24. Well, I'm glad you had fun. This is something Old Leftie Lawyer might have done, rest her soul.

I will consider you a force to be reckoned with hereafter and not get sucked into your games again.

[whathehell]

25. Bwahahaha!

"sucked into your games again,".

What you're doing there is called "projection" dear, Help is available for it...Good luck with it.

[rzemanfl]

26. Annette Apollo, that you? n/t

[whathehell]

30. I'll let you wonder..

[rzemanfl]

31. She'd never get up that early. Not even after being dead 7 years. n/t

[whathehell]

32. Slacker..

[rzemanfl]

33. Yeah, well being dead does cause a person to neglect things. n/t

[whathehell]

34. Which is why you may not want to look for her here..

[rzemanfl]

35. If I'm not going to find her, here is as good a place as any. I'm a slacker too.

[whathehell]

36. Maybe here

but not me....Bye.

[whathehell]

23. Oh, yes, you're all self- righteous and 'big picture' now, lol

not so much with your smarmy little op

Nice dodge, but just a LITTLE transparent.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

4. Let me guess...

Merkin = American
Muffley = Muff (Vagina)



Edit: Sorry, I replied to the wrong poster.

[rzemanfl]

13. Half right. n/t

[nycbos]

5. How did Peter Sellers not win an Oscar for the THREE brilliant characters...

..he played.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

14. He was hilarious playing all of them!

Dr. Strangelove was a bit over-the-top, but he actually pulled that off too!

[nycbos]

15. That was the point

"The whole point of the Doomsday Machine is lost if you keep it a secret. Why didn't you tell the world."


"Mein Führer... I CAN WALK"

[Buckeye_Democrat]

16. It was my favorite acting performance by George C. Scott too!

One of my favorite movies of all time!

Peter Bull (playing the Russian ambassador) can be seen ready to burst into laughter while watching Sellers/Strangelove explain his "final plan" to deal with the situation.

[nycbos]

17. I must confess you have a astonishingly good idea there doctor.

And my favorite George C Scott moment was....

[Buckeye_Democrat]

18. The General Turgidson scene that I liked the most...

was this one:

Actually, that clip cuts it too short! Here's the exchange that reminds me of people discussing President Trump, with General Turgidson being a Republican giving him the benefit of the doubt.

General "Buck" Turgidson: Uh, we're, still trying to figure out the meaning of that last phrase, sir.

President Merkin Muffley: There's nothing to figure out, General Turgidson. This man is obviously a psychotic.

General "Buck" Turgidson: We-he-ell, uh, I'd like to hold off judgement on a thing like that, sir, until all the facts are in.

I first saw that movie many years ago and assumed that paranoia about water fluoridation was a fictional creation for that movie! It wasn't until a few years later that I discovered it was a real conspiracy theory by various kooks!

EDIT: Ugh! I'm not sure why I wrote Ripper instead of Turgidson at first! Too much tap water for me, I guess!

[Hassin Bin Sober]

28. Yeah, and now those various kooks run our government.

Daddy Koch (brothers) was a charter member of the John Birch Society that laid the ground work for people like Reagan and all the bad that followed.

When people say "John who?" I use Frank Burns as an example of paranoid, racist, sees-a-communist-plot-in-everything, tax-avoiding, sniveling weasel.

[Motley13]

29. it was Rex Harrison for "My Fair Lady"

also good, but can't touch Peter Sellers.



Alec Guinness was also fantastic

Love that laid back British humor (humour)

[mountain grammy]

27. Brilliant.

Don't understand the conflict, one of the funniest movies made, in my opinion
