Posted this a few years back - if you recognise some of the answers, have a go at the new ones. smile

Taglines or plot-lines from movies that never quite got made (but which bear a strange resemblance to some that did) e.g. "Backing singers voice never-ending stream of complaints" – A Chorus Whine

-1. “Well Mr Simpson, I think we can approve your overdraft”
-2. “Every since I tried the new ointment, my creaking joints have been so much better” Think Anthony Hopkins
-3. A new variation of the drop-shot is perfected in Rome
-4. A new means of creating heat is discovered by rubbing two blockbusters together
-5. The landlord of a mediaeval tavern is told to clean up an unhygienic drinking vessel Think Western musical
-6. A packed meal goes on sale, meant to be eaten in a French Cathedral
-7. An alien force is routed by a previously-defeated tennis official
-8. "I've tried to change the colour of my clothes by soaking them in this coloured liquid, but it's very difficult"
-9. Neckwear is found covered in tea-stains Think Leonardo di Caprio
-10. An oil-container is found discarded in the middle of a wood
-11. Mystery fire at boathouse destroys all items of propulsion
-12. Dorothy is eaten by the creature that terrorized Amity Island Think Inspector Closseau, and then the Revd. Spooner


To waste one second of one's life is a betrayal of one's self.
I wonder what's on television...?

The best math you can learn is how to calculate the future cost of current decisions.

Both good, but ignoring the boathouse clue. What do boats (especially small ones) use for propulsion? think

Clues for the others later tonight...

2. Silence of the balms think


Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.
