Good Morning!!!

Not if it's going to make yo feel uncomfortable. But since the Big Bang board is more than a little dead, I thought you might like to join us. But I'm open to suggestions. What shows are you watching? ( Hawaiian Eye, Hawaii 5-0, Gilligans Island)

Gotta run, the bus is comming

Good Afternoon to you!

After thinking about it, I think this board is where I belong. I don't come to this message board so much to talk about any particular topic as I do to reunite with some of the old buddies I made on IMDb, just like you. I know the group here is small now, but there are some of us still left. Last night I posted a thread that ended up with multiple posters and built up almost 30 posts over a few hours, so this board has life in it yet! And as you may remember me saying, I'm very much like Sheldon in that I like homeostasis. So I guess this board has its own Sheldon... and it's me. (Not sure if that's cool or pathetic.)

I hope you'll keep playing with me Tim, and that anyone else who would like to will visit here from time to time for some good old message board fun.

Ski lift?? Why don't I just ride an escalator up into an airplane and then skydive?!?!

You know Tim, this is like our special thread. We were reunited here several months ago, and then again tonight. Kind of like our own little Casablanca. And Knixon is playing us some special music in the background. "Play it again Knixon Sam".

I'm not so sure I could make it on the Star Trek board, Tim. I could only use the words "Gorn" and "space" so many times before people would begin to tire of me.

Close, very close...

Well dang, there was a great Monty Python bit about that on youtube, but I can't find it anywhere now. It must have been taken down by someone, grrrrr!!!!

 Scene: a 1920s-style drawing room 
 Chapman: I say! 
 Cleveland: Yes, Daddy? 
 Chapman: Croquet hoops look damn pretty this afternoon. 
 Cleveland: Frightfully damn pretty. 
 Idle (as her mother): They're coming along *awfully* well this year. 
 Chapman: Yes, better than your Aunt Lavinia's croquet hoops. 
 Cleveland: Ugh! Dreadful tin things. 
 Idle: I did tell her to stick to wood. 
 Chapman: Yes, you can't beat wood. Gorn. 
 Idle: What's gone, dear? 
 Chapman: Nothing, nothing -- just like the word, it gives me confidence. Gorn. Gorn -- it's got a sort of *woody* quality about it. Gorn. Go-o-orn. Much better than 'newspaper' or 'litter bin'. 
 Cleveland: Ugh! Frightful words! 
 Idle: Perfectly dreadful! 
 Chapman: 'Newspaper' -- 'litter bin' -- 'litter bin' -- dreadful *tinny* sort of word. 
 (Cleveland screams) 
 Chapman: Tin, tin, tin. 
 Idle: Oh, don't say 'tin' to Rebecca, you know how it upsets her. 
 Chapman: Sorry, old horse. 
 Idle: 'Sausage.' 
 Chapman: 'Sausage'! There's a good woody sort of word, 'sausage'. 'Gorn.' 
 Cleveland: 'Antelope!' 
 Chapman: Where? On the lawn? 
 Cleveland: No, no, Daddy. Just the word. 
 Chapman: Don't want antelope nibbling the hoops. 
 Cleveland: No, no -- 'ant-e-lope'. Sort of nice and woody type of thing. 
 Idle: Don't think so, Becky old chap. 
 Chapman: No, no -- 'antelope' - 'antelope', *tinny* sort of word. 
 (Cleveland screams) 
 Chapman: Oh, sorry old man. 
 Idle: Really, Mansfield. 
 Chapman: Well, she's got to come to terms with these things. 'Seemly.' 'Prodding.' 'Vac-u-um.' 'Leap.' 
 Cleveland: Oh -- hate 'leap'. 
 Idle: Perfectly dreadful. 
 Cleveland: Sort of PVC sort of word, don't you know. 
 Idle: Lower middle. 
 Chapman: 'Bound!' 
 Idle: Now you're talking! 
 Chapman: 'Bound.' 'Vole!' 'Recidivist!' 
 Idle: Bit *tinny*... 
 (Cleveland screams and rushes out sobbing) 
 Idle: Oh, sorry, Becky old beast. 
 Chapman: Oh dear, I suppose she'll be gorn for a few days now. 
 Idle: Caribou. 
 Chapman: Splendid word! 
 Idle: No, dear, nibbling the hoops. 
 (Chapman fires a shotgun) 
 Chapman (with satisfaction): Caribou -- gorn... 'Intercourse.' 
 Idle: Later, dear. 
 Chapman: No, no -- the word, 'intercourse'. Good and woody. 'Inter-course.' 'Pert,' 'pert,' 'thighs,' 'botty,' 'botty,' 'botty' (getting excited), 'erogenous zo-o-one'. Ha ha ha ha -- oh, 'concubine', 'erogenous zo-o-one', 'loose woman', 'erogenous zone'... 
 (Idle calmly empties a bucket of water over Chapman) 
 Chapman: Oh, thank you, dear. There's a funny thing, dear -- all the naughty words sound woody. 
 Idle: Really, dear -- how about 'tit'? 
 Chapman: Oh dear, I hadn't thought about that. 'Tit.' 'Tit.' Oh, that's very tinny, isn't it? 'Tit.' 'Tit.' Tinny, tinny. 
 (Cleveland, who has just come in, screams and rushes out again) 
 Chapman: Oh dear. 'Ocelot.' 'Was-p.' 'Yowling.' Oh dear, I'm bored. Better go and have a bath, I suppose. 
 Idle: Oh really, must you, dear -- you've had nine today. 
 Chapman: All right -- I'll sack one of the servants. Simpkins! Nasty tinny sort of name. SIMPKINS! 
 (Enter Palin, in RAF uniform) 
 Palin: I say, mater, cabbage crates coming over the briny. 
 Idle: Sorry dear, don't understand. 
 Palin: Er -- cow-catchers creeping up on the conning towers? 
 Idle: No, sorry old sport. 
 Palin: Um -- caribou nibbling at the croquet hoops. 
 Idle: Yes, Mansfield shot one in the antlers. 
 Palin: Oh, jolly good show. Is 'Becca about? 
 Idle: No, she's gorn off. 
 Palin: What a super woody sort of phrase. `Gorn orff'. 
 Idle: Yes, she's gorn orff because Mansfield said `tin' to her. 
 Palin: Oh, what rotten luck ... oh well ... whole afternoon to kill ... better have a bath I suppose. 
 Idle: Oh, Gervaise do sing me a song ... 
 Palin: Oh, OK. 
 Idle: Something woody. (The pilot launches into a quite enormously loud rendering of `She's going to marry Yum Yum'. The impact of this on the mother causes her to have a heart attack. She dies and the song ends.) 
 Palin: For ... she's going to marry Yum Yum ... oh crikey. The old song finished her orff. 
 Chapman: (entering) What's urp? 
 Palin: I'm afraid Mrs Vermin Jones appears to have passed orn. 
 Chapman: Dead, is she? 
 Palin: 'Fraid so. 
 Chapman: What a blow for her. 

Hey Knixon

I found a chunk of it:

https://youtu.be/ulNWr-yBWP8?list=TLPQMDcwMjIwMjDfRu4uzgEinQ

I don't know what that other stuff is.

I can't talk much about Star Trek but I could talk a lot about Monty Python!

Please do. What this and every other board need is more Monty Python references.

You should start a favorite Monty Python quote thread.

I was being not so serious. Besides Knixon is the resident Python expert here. It's had been years since watched the show to tell the truth.

I wondered if you were being facetious, sneaky Z.

No please tell me about your dead parrot or shrubbery. Or Mollusks.

We may have to change our names to Eric.

To prevent confusion.

They have been going on and on about how much money she makes. I wonder if they're setting her up for a crash.

For that matter, it sounds like Leonard might consider leaving physics.

Yes, I have decided that I'd like to answer the OP. I think Bernadette will continue to be successful in her career and be financially comfortable with her husband Howard and two children.

I think Leonard will stay in physics.

This is all just a hunch, of course.

I always wanted Leonard to discover that he had a talent for land management. I can imagine a scene where he is on the phone to Pennys dad:

"So you increased the phosphates and planted the clover where I said? And the yield was increased by how much? Yeah..uh..huh..well I was just trying to help. You want to talk to Penny?

Hi Dad, what's up? He did what? You made how much?

Leonard! You're a cowboy!

That would have been a clever use of his science knowledge! And would have made him much more of a cowboy than his occasional yee haw! in the bedroom.

Did you like how I came in all authoritative with an answer to your OP now that the series is over and I know the answers? That's what I should do. Go back to all the old threads where we were speculating on things and answer them. (Spoilers ahead)

"Why yes, Sheldon did win his Nobel Prize."

"Why yes, Penny's hair did grow back."

"Why no, they never did develop vitamin deficiencies despite never eating a bite on their plates."

etc.

What about the speculation that bringing in more dumb girls would ruin a show about nerds?

Also remember when Howard did that horsey ride thing after Bernie came back from Disney Land dressed as Cinderella?

Yes! That was one of my favorite Howard lines: "M'lady".
