This is sad movie night. I watched the last half of Rent just before FNGD began.

Now I'll be depressed.....

I'm callling the result a tie, since my ability to calculate is diminishing.

The cement is Portland cement.

The film is A Star is Born.

Character has same name in the non-musical from 1937 but I dunno about the Kristofferson Streisand remake.

Kay, in case you didn't see it in the Starter Question thread, here is my response to your post about sending me your itinerary:

Judy I emailed you my itinerary. I get in at 3:15 on Friday.


Your itinerary says Thursday. I'm hoping it's Thursday.

If your hotel reservation doesn't start until Friday, then come on Thursday and stay at my place Thursday night. We can do this. I even bought an inflatable mattress, in case we needed it.

hmmm...you could be right. I can change the room reservation, though.
Just let me know what you want me to do. I'm half crazy these days. I'd better look at that reservation. I haven't printed it out yet, since they email it to you there's no need to print it until the last minute.

I'm going right now to check the room reservation! Yikes!

Well, it must be so, as my room reservation starts on Friday!
So you and Annie and Beebs will have me on Thursday. I swear I thought I made my plane reservation for Friday. It's fine with me as long as it's OK with you. 8)

One or many answers may be correct....


B - According to Google, which of fhese is true:

1 - The sheepshank knot is an unknot
2 - The sheepshank knot can be used to shorten a rope temporarily
3 - The sheepshank knot can be used to isolate frayed rope
4 - The sheepshank knot fails under load with modern rope materials, and should never be used.

G - From the Caucasus down to Pakistan, one may be served a succulent morning meat soup, which goes by various names. According to chowhound. com, in Iran Kaleh Pacheh soup will have some meat lower than a sheep shank but not including an identifiable

1 - Tooth
2 - Hoof
3 - Knee
4 - Rectum

I did not even know a sheepshank was a knot.

You will not find me eating said soup.

The shank is above the foot or hoof. So no hoof found if the soup is well cooked.

Good to know.

Rectum okay - hoof not so much.

B - The word "nimrod" is used slangly mostly as an insult, like "dimwit" or a "doofus"
What does it mean, however, in biblical Hebrew, and maybe in other ancient tongues and legends as well ?

G - What is the principal occupation of the characters in the movie 'Hilary and Jackie" "?
a hunter

waitresses

Didnt realize it was so biblical, I thought "mythical'.

And Jackie du Pré was the great cellist whose career was cut short by multiple sclerosis.

They played her first famous cello concerto recording this AM on CBC radio two.
I will venture to see this film.
