I guess I'm even more dense today, because I don't understand.

I think Tallpine is referencing this:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRKUMUPcR7k

On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

That's a pretty obscure reference, Tallpine.

What's more amazing is that Alan Rickman is in it. I thought he just fell off a building in "Die Hard I" and then disappeared. ;)

But any of us on this board can make that shot. (yawn).

Alan Rickman has been in many movies.

Love Actually, and all of the Harry Potter series as professor Snape, to name a few.

You forgot his masterpiece as the voice of Marvin.

Not every gun owner watches all cowboy movies (if that's what it is/was).

But, to be fair, let's see how you do on this. Where is the music playing?

Huh. All the people on this board who are into movies about the CIA, spooks, ninja's and all that, and nobody knows where the music is playing? Especially guys who like attractive actresses?
