[kalian]

:party:

[Martin Eden]

1. What was the name of the character played by Keenan Wynn?

And what does the name mean?

[kalian]

3. Col. "Bat" Guano....

"guano" means manure. ;)

[DrBB]

18. One of my favorite Peter Sellers lines of all time

"Now see here, Sgt Batguano, if that really is your name..."

Also love:

"So you're fine and I'm fine.... I agree Dmitri, it's great to be fine."

[SilasSoule]

2. Do you think the U.S. Air Force's

Strategic Air Command ever issued a comination Holy Bible/Ruski dictionary to it's fly boys?

[kalian]

4. Given how nutty LeMay was....

I wouldn't put anything past those guys...

[ronzo]

5. Favorite scene?

eh?

[kalian]

8. Phone conversation between the prez and the premier....

too funny. :)

[DrBB]

19. "Of course I like to talk, Dmitri..."

...Of course I like to say hello. It's just that I called to tell you something's gone wrong with the Bomb.... The Bomb, Dmitri.... The atomic bomb....."

And my absolute fave from that scene,

"Well, so you're fine and I'm fine.... I agree, Dmitri... It's great to be fine."

[TrogL]

6. How did the guy on the bomb hold onto his hat

in a 400 mph slipstream?

For that matter, how did he stay on the bomb after it left the bomb bay?

[kalian]

9. Sigh....

just a movie... ;)

[A HERETIC I AM]

7. "General Turgidson"

Just about one of the best/funniest names for a character. Ever.

[A HERETIC I AM]

10. "Gentlemen! You can't fight in here! This is the War room!"

One of the best lines in any movie. Ever.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

11. If you watch...

Slim Pickens (Kong) after he reads off the survival list he says:

"...A man could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff..."

In the original cut he said "Dallas." Since the movie's premiere was shortly after the assassination of Kennedy, they changed it out of respect and to avoid controversy. Read his lips, he still says "Dallas."

Another movie geek moment.

[kalian]

16. Yup...

its on the DVD documentary. But if you pay attention to his lips
you can still see that he was saying "Dallas".

[trof]

17. The "water container"

When I was in the guard we had to do water survival training every year. The master seargent who taught the course would lay out and explain all the survival items in our parachute/seat pack.
He always displayed the condom/water bag with much snickering and eye-rolling.
;-)

[Bundbuster]

12. Kalian - would you have volunteered

to be a part of the post-nuclear underground "brrreeeeding" program?

[kalian]
