Where Is Our Dale?

Surely our astute group will not be fooled by this impertinent imposter. One can tell immediately and conclusively, evidenced by the jocularity, the political thrust, by the sheer volume of posts, that this poseur is not Dale. Dale is far too busy for this sort of nonsense. I suspect a kidnapping or other sinister plot or foul play...Any ideas?

(best Basil Rathbone voice) An excellent observation, PhilO. And have you not also observed the striking number of OT posts, coincident, I might add, with elendil's sabbatical? Something is afoot, my dear fellow. Best fetch yer revolver!

"dale" is elendil.

Discuss.

Discuss.

Let us parse "elendil".
If we write it "elen-dil", we can then assume that "dil" could be a modified version of "dal" or more accurately "dale". We are then left with the "elen-" part which everyone will agree is a bad pronounciation of "alien".
Thus, "elendil" is a twisted attempt at "alien dale" which further proves that someone is posing as Dale.
Does anyone know if Dale was nurturing any pods?

Why is her bra exposed?

Nano, you don't read, you don't watch the right movies.... I don't know about you.

That's her dress, not her bra. Go rent it now. Better yet, read the book.

And as if there had to be a reason to expose bras....

My rabid attendance at monster truck rallies should tell you all.

That is one of my favourite movies of all time (the other one being, for no reason, The Day The Earth Stood Still). They're becoming relevant again, since the US Government in its wisdon has decided to revive 1950's paranoia.

Weren't there 3 versions of Body Snatchers? Some are better than others. The version i like is in black & white.

I'm sure it was an innocent accident.

"Rabid attendance" tells me all....

Yes, three Body Snatchers movies. The first one (BW) is the best, very good and (for an American movie) very noir. The second one with Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Veronica Cartwright, a very young Jeff Goldblum, and Leonard Nimoy (!) is also good. The third one is pure crap and to be avoided.

Or a wardrobe malfunction, maybe? :roll:

Yes, the first one, the one with the dark ending. Very good. For the people who haven't seen it, it's about how you're never sure if anyone is one of "us" or one of "them". Anybody on the street could be working for Osama, so you have to be vigilant, etc. I agree the most recent version is krap.

The other movie i mentioned "The Day The Earth Stood Still" is about the hope of transcending paranoia into sanity, even if we have to be forced into it.

Watch these and the original Star Trek series, and you will be enlightened. Maybe.
