Yaaa-HOOOOO! LOL

YEAH! What TB said here, folks! I mean, personally I think you're just misconstruing what he said in his very first post. Ya see, let's take what the OP said in his initial post here: Ya see, there ya HAVE it. THAT post was soooooo "typically Canadian", now wouldn't ya say?! Uh-huh, much too polite and non-direct, and NOTHIN' like many of us Yanks are used to doin'. Ya see, what I think the OP SHOULD have said was somethin' like: "TCM was 'wrong, wrong, and wrong AGAIN', in not showing some Canadian themed movies on this special day to us Canadians!"...and NOT that whole wimpy, "I was disappointed" thing. Yep! You see I THINK TB was just tryin' to point out to you people up there that you should endeavor(OR "endeavoUr" as the case may be) to be as cocksure about yourselves and your opinions when ya have somethin' to say as many of us Yanks usually are, THAT'S all! LOL (...sorry TB, but I felt you had this comin' here...'cause dude, I TOO think your initial reply in this baby wasn't as "diplomatically" stated as I know you are capable of...oh, AND of course to pointedly make fun of some my other fellow Americans penchant for occasionally being soooooo freakin' sure about their opinions that they sometimes act and say things in a more direct manner than they maybe should)

Well, don't forget here Tom that I'm no longer a Californian, but NOW an Arizonan. And so in efforts to fit in around here, THAT'S why I'm sportin' that there gun in my Avatar. (...'cause they surely like their shootin' irons around here, ya know...they think it's still "The Wild West"!) LOL

Miss CTV news lady, you're tryin' to seduce me...aren't ya?! Okay, maybe 'cause I just watched Anne Bancroft tryin' to do herself in last night when TCM showed "The Slender Thread", but I'm sure seein' QUITE a resemblance with her and this hot lookin' Canadian news lady in this link you provided here, Holden! (...see it TOO?)

Now Vautrin! I ask you: Could they legitimately use Freddie's song up there until they wrestle back the Stanley Cup from Los Angeles??? (...or as the Chicago Cubs fans in another sport always say: "Wait 'til next year!")

OH, yeah, dark. I agree. I think Rashida is not only a doll, but have also been impressed with her conversational skills on the talk shows I've seen her on.

Well, BC's Tourist Bureau (no superfluous 'u's as far as I can see here, btw) doesn't use the slogan, "Super Natural British Columbia", for NOTHIN', ya know! (...yeah, you should definitely make it out there to that beautiful part of your country some day...no question aboat..err..ABOUT it!)

Hmmmm...well Tom, all I can say here is that whenever I'm up there in BC visitin' Ma, most of MY new-found relatives(and I AIN'T talkin' aboat..err..I mean ABOUT any "Newfoundlanders" here, dude!) up that way suuuuuure sound like they're sayin' "aboAt" to ME, ol' buddy!!! (...and the ONLY water-goin' vessel any of 'em ever had up there and that I remember 'em talkin' about was when my "half-brother" Phil was tellin' me about that sailboat he once owned and used on Lake Okanagan years ago!)

Lemme get this one, MissW. Once and for ALL here people...it's the SCOTS that say "aboot" and the CANADIANS that say "aboat"!!! (...I mean, I THINK it's ABOUT time this misconception is put to rest once and for all, wouldn't ya SAY folks?!) LOL

Hmmmm...I guess either nobody was tuned into TCM last night, OR I'm somewhat alone in my appreciated of Quincy Jones' appearance with Bob. THIS'LL teach me to stick to just inserting my many attempts at humor into other peoples' threads around here instead of startin' one of my own, I guess. (...WAIT!...maybe if I would've thread-titled this baby with somethin' like: "NEWS FLASH! Quincy Jones was THE best guest Bob ever had, and I've got the stats to PROVE it!"???) LOL

AND, Dave Thomas doin' the best Bob Hope impression anyone ever would. In fact, now that I think about it, on the whole that entire cast of zanies were excellent at doing impressions of celebs better than any SNL cast members, and this would even include the initial cast of SNL. (...I mean, Chevy Chase, and the ONLY thing he did was fall down a lot, and THAT was supposed to be "Gerald Ford"???)

YEAH! Ya know primos, that could have been it TOO! Glad to see I'm not the ONLY one around here who's tryin' to figure out the reason for this. (...but of course, don't expect any thanks from THIS crowd around here, as you can plainly see!)

You're welcome, CG. You probably remember Easton as the character Dusty Acres, the cowboy movie star, in the dark comedy "The Loved One" (1965) then. (...though IF Easton helped Robert Morse attempt to do a British accent in THAT one, unfortunately Morse would turn out to be a poor student, as he makes Dick Van Dyke's ridiculed cockney accent in "Mary Poppins" sound like Dick was a born and bred in London's East Side by comparison)

Hmmmm..."Poutine", ya say? I'm not familiar with this stuff. I'll ask "Ma", my Canadian birth-mother, about this stuff the next time I'm up in Kelowna BC visiting her and see what SHE thinks about it. But, just from what Wiki is sayin' about it, it sure doesn't sound too healthy for ya at all, and in fact sounds pretty darn fattening. (...well, I suppose if enough Canadians ate that stuff, they COULD become more like us "Mericans after all...and I DON'T mean "more independent"!)

Okay then, just FORGET about all that "British" stuff here, then. Then MAYBE it's this thing that YOU'VE just pointed out here...that there seems to be no "continuity" with you folks up there that's leavin' those scheduling fellas in Atlanta so seemingly unimpressed with you guys. HUH?!...okay, okay..EH?! (...hey, I'm JUST tryin' to help ya out here and throwin' out ideas that I think might be the cause of all this, ya know...and THIS is the THANKS I get???...just see I ever try helpin' around here AGAIN!!!)

Well MissW, here's what I think. I THINK those fellas down there in Atlanta who schedule(pronounced "SKED-u-al", NOT "SHED-u-al" btw) TCM's programming are probably just waitin' 'til you folks up that-a-way to TOTALLY cut those ol' British apron strings and stop doin stuff like spellin' certain words with that...well, YOU know...and begin to show how truly "Independent" you folks up there can be, and just like we 'Mericans are. I mean, what good is havin' "your own" country when ya still are kind'a sort'a tied to that old country sittin' off the coast of continental Europe? I mean, what's with this whole "Commonwealth" thing anyway, HUH?..err, I guess, EH?! This IS the 21st Century now, ya know! And then once you folks up there start doin' THAT sort'a thing, and show some TRUE "independent thought", those aforementioned folks in Atlanta MIGHT just be impressed enough which ya to throw you guys up there a bone and do what you're askin' for here. (...yep, that's what I'M thinkin' here!)

Loved the insights into movie scoring and other aspects of movie making that Quincy Jones covered so eloquently in his guest programmer role this evening. I guess that's pretty much all I wanted to say here. (...well, other than if you didn't tune into TCM Monday night, you REALLY missed out)

Are ya talkin' about THIS one, MissW? Well, a bit "lefthanded" wouldn't ya say??? (...wait...what am I sayin' here?...I'll take ANY compliment I can GET...I can't afford to be "choosy", ya know!)

I know, I know. (...jus' couldn't resist playin' off my earlier misunderstanding of primosprimos' post, that's all)

Hmmmm...well...not according to some Irish guy who was around here a while back, anyway! LOL (...I think?...you people remember?...that guy?...don't ya?)

WAIT! The movie OR this THREAD???!!! (...here we go AGAIN...I SO wish you people would be more succinct around here!!!)

OR...in a case of extreme irony, Tarantino HIMSELF is really into "name-dropping", and thus really appreciates movies where one of the characters drops HIS actual given name into the story at one point. (...OR, Tarantino just likes the name "Archie Leach" for some reason)

Yep, I agree. (...and besides, always makes doin' a Tony Curtis impression REAL easy to boot!)

Close obrien, but it's..."Yondah lies da the castle of my fadah"! (...though as you probably really know, Bernie Schwartz never actually said that...it's one of those "urban legends")

Now James, I gotta say these thoughts of yours were just silly.
