Yeah, but if McClellan doesn't find those orders, he doesn't consolidate his forces and the Army of the Potomac is probably defeated a corps at a time. They were too spread out, and Lee knew this because he had reliable intelligence from his cavalry.

@Automatic Jack:

I loaned all but the last in the series ("Lord Conrad's Quest For Rubber") out about ten years ago and haven't seen them since. It's a fun series.

Agreed, Turtledove is a bad writer, but I found myself waiting for each and every installment in his time-line that began with the Confederacy winning the Civil War in "How Few Remain" and ended with a Virginian Hitler killed in "In At The Death"- 11 books, most of them coming in at 600 or so pages.

I don't know what alternate universe version of '70's National Lampoon Nabin was reading, but it wasn't the same equal-opportunity-offender that I read in that decade.

Wrong Knievel movie, Zack.
1971's biopic "Evel Knievel", starring George Hamilton as the King of the Daredevils is fuckin' great! Hamilton fittingly plays it way OTT.

I saw Playhouse in the theater as an adult, and I didn't go in expecting anything but the gags and jokes; the episodic nature didn't concern me at all at the time. Maybe it helped that I got high before I watched it, but I enjoyed it as much as I expected- quite a bit, that is- but I didn't leave the theater…

@JVS-

@BFG: "How do you go from that to "Coward of the County"? "

"Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)" hit #5 on Billboard's US Hot 100 chart in 1968, so I'd say that people listened to it the first time around.

Josh- You broke the rules with The Entertainer, didn't you? He died in 1917, and he didn't play on Hamlisch's adaptation.

@Warren Oates

Yes, listing, as if they had taken a torpedo aport.

Trio
The German minimalist trio, Trio, had a huge hit internationally in 1982 with "Da Da Da I Don't Love You You Don't Love Me"- but not so much in the USA.

Something about that picture of Bigelow makes me think it would either be a really good thing or a really bad thing to run into her in a dark alley.

Errh..uhhm…Noel.

Its stylistic touchstones include John Waters, Russ Meyer, and the sob-sister adventures of Playboy's Little Annie Fanny.
Tobias, this film isn't even Pyrex, let alone pyrite: It's clearly Play-Doh. Why sully the good names of Waters and Meyer? Somewhere a 12 year old boy is discovering his procreative functions via…

Riff, if any part of that film was on any porn site, I would never return to that site again.

Well played.
