I was born in 1963. I used to watch "Match Game" in the 1970s. I think the fact that our mother (who was and is rather straight-laced) is hearing-impaired (even when she was young) made it easier for us to get away with watching it. If Mom could've heard all of the jokes, she wouldn't have let us watch it.

I have a T-shirt that says "I would prefer not to." And, yes, I knew The Captain and Tennille.

Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions. - HH the Dalai Lama (b. 6 July 1935)

"Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!" - David Farragut (July 5, 1801 – August 14, 1870)

I didn't like Justin's smirk, and was happy for Liz, with her nice grey hair, pretty shirt, and (as Osiris described it) pseudo-Olympic necklace, to come out ahead.

I thought of that, too, but those aren't opposites.

I don't wanna turn you off
I wanna change your channel.

Your answers and mine are the same, with "shaky & still" being the one I am less certain about.

Take the word FALSE. Divide it between the L and the S. The start of the word is the start of FALL, and the end of the word is the end of RISE. And, of course, "fall" and "rise" are opposites. Do the same thing for the word SHALL. Divide it into two parts, so that the start of it starts one word and the end of it ends…

From principles is derived probability, but truth or certainty is obtained only from facts. - Tom Stoppard (b. 3 July 1937)

I've used some form of Isis for a long time, e.g."Mighty Isis" and "Absolutely Isis", and Isis Uptown since I moved to New Orleans in April 2005 (yes, I did end up back SW Louisiana for a while later in the year). The Goddess Isis wouldn't think much of those people who use her name so poorly.

Death taking a holiday is rarely a good idea.
