Whenever I see your name I imagine that SNL Celebrity Jeopardy with Norm McDonald playing Burt Reynolds where he names himself "Turd Ferguson"...

Anyways, Congratulations. *smile*

I saw this "live" (as much as a syndicated show can be) many many years back and I was blown away: "It's Johnny Rotten!"

This clip doesn't include the very best part: where the drummer was describing where in the head he was struck while handing Burt the medical bills...

As Mr. Williams was pointing to the top of his head, Lydon quips, "where his brains should be."

LOLers!

There are some I'm missing...mainly at 1:12 (on the TV and to the side)

I will upvote for Burt Reynolds and serious cat on the black dude's weiner.

there are many issues i have with this.

1) delta-wing aircraft are almost useless for passenger air travel. they're far more efficient for flying, but you can't put people anywhere but the center, since anyone over a wing would end up sideways whenever the plane banked. also, this would fly in a mild version of the parabolic flight pattern used by the vomit comet which, i believe, is rightly so called.

2) i'd imagine these craft would be kinda useless for freight, mainly because of how much helium one would need, though i could easily be wrong on that one.

3) it's probably slow. especially the first ascent to altitude. and landing it must be a lot of fun.

that's just the first couple of things i could think of. to be fair, i have no training in aviation or aerodynamics past high school physics, which was a while ago.

that all having been said, i love seeing new innovation in engineering. anyone interested in aviation should watch this TED talk by Burt Rutan on how the US govt has allowed innovation in aviation to stagnate

Just short of one of my favorite cinematic moments, when the camera zooms past the "he's sure got a pretty mouth" hillbilly and focuses on Burt's taut bow in the trees.

who are these people? burt lancaster? clark gable? johnny carson? (/end sarcasm)

I think the company's name is scalar composites or scaled composites, Burt Rutan is it? They're at the leading edge of combining epoxies and high tensile materials like kevlar and carbon fiber. The one girder like component a couple of guys were carefully moving (4:13) showed a honeycomb structure embedded in goo. That's one of the ways they make it so light. Neat stuff.

Wow, that's a young Burt.

The last time i saw a cop act like that was in a Burt Reynolds movie. These "know your rights" things are all well and good but they are really just a guide on how to annoy police and not get out of being caught for doing something wrong. If your not doing anything wrong then co-operate and be on your way. Thier just doing thier job too. The moment you say you refuse to being searched you might as well say "sure ive got illegal stuff in the car but im going to be an ass about it till you search me anyway". Can you imagine ANY police officer saying "oh, you dont allow it? My apologies sir.. please be on your way." pfft. My advice, if you dont like the laws, write to a politician. The police dont make'em up.

Tags changed from "batman" to "batman, adam, west, burt, ward, cheese" by gold star member raven.

The Virgin Atlantic Global Flyer was designed by Burt Rutan and built by Scaled Composites. It was piloted by Steve Fossett who took off from Salina, Kansas for the 67 hour flight.

Music from Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells.

Burt Reynolds kind of Michael Jackson'd in a way..

Happy B-day to Ladybug. Maybe Aphids come plentiful on this day.

My quest to expose you to rare music goes on, I love this song. It's simply sublime. Enjoy!

Yvonne De Carlo, has a career rap sheet, that the whole of Hollow-wood should envy, Known best as Lilly Munster on the popular series, "The Munsters", she was also known as Sephora, the wife of Moses, in Cecil B.'s, "Ten Commandments"....after checkin' her career and praises, she's known by this armchair critic, as one of the awsome all-around divas of her craft...Sophia Loren like even!

A skilled operatically trained singer, she used to moonlight at the Hollywood Bowl, when the place was between big bookings, and regularly, packed the house!

In, Criss Cross (1949) here she is as the so-called, ex-wife of this limp-wristed bastard, Burt Lanacaster
Oh yeah, this is the film in which young Tony Curtis made his big screen debut-whew!
