Subject: RE: BS: Tonight... From: GUEST,skivee Date: 31 Jan 06 - 01:16 PM I'm confused. Is this a prompt so folks go outside and take in the firmament? They have been visable in the evening sky for months. They have also been visable to the naked eye since before there were eyes to view them. ( If a planet glints in the sky, but there is no one around to see it, does it glint?) |

Subject: RE: BS: Tonight... From: Raptor Date: 31 Jan 06 - 01:19 PM I hadn't see them that clear for a year! |

Subject: RE: BS: Tonight... From: GUEST,Skivee Date: 31 Jan 06 - 01:43 PM I am buried deep in the light pollution soup that is the sky of D.C.. Just a few stars, the moon, and the planets are visable at night. It's been years since the galaxy was visable from here. Durn shame. But four planets are regularly available for our viewing pleasure. Even a small scope will allow you to see Saturn's rings. The first sight of them is an astonishing moment. |

Subject: RE: BS: Tonight... From: Cluin Date: 31 Jan 06 - 11:24 PM Are there rings around Uranus? *snicker* *snicker* |

Subject: RE: BS: Tonight... From: John O'L Date: 31 Jan 06 - 11:29 PM I think "glint" needs to be defined before this conversation can go meaningfully forward from here. |

Subject: RE: BS: Tonight... From: GUEST,skivee Date: 01 Feb 06 - 11:43 AM Glint /glint/ v-n To sprintel or flerm is in amusement, or crissive enlightenment. Also, Reflective glimation. (poss. Scan orig. ME alt to glent.) I hope this is helpful. |

Subject: RE: BS: Tonight... From: John O'L Date: 01 Feb 06 - 07:20 PM Ah! so that's what you mean. I thought so. Now, obviously, the conversation can go meaningfully forward. I was unaware that planets did that. But if they did, (or if the do), then clearly it matters not a jot if someone is or isn't there to witness it. All illumination does not necessarily lead to enlightenment. |

Subject: RE: BS: Tonight... From: John O'L Date: 01 Feb 06 - 07:42 PM ...'man-with-no-name'? His name was 'Goldie' wasn't it? ('The Good The Bad & The Ugly' is one of my all time favourites.) |

Subject: RE: BS: Tonight... From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 01 Feb 06 - 07:43 PM The Glint is the monetary unit of Flatulastan. It is so worthless that a wheelbarrowful of Glints won't buy a loaf of bread. Ther only thing they're much good for is melting down for use as fishing sinkers. But they are nice and shiny. |

Subject: RE: BS: Tonight... From: John O'L Date: 01 Feb 06 - 07:54 PM 10 Glints = 1 Glimmer? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tonight... From: Raptor Date: 01 Feb 06 - 08:01 PM So 20 glints = Mick And Keith? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tonight... From: Cluin Date: 01 Feb 06 - 10:17 PM I thought glint was someting you did at the kindling. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tonight... From: Peace Date: 01 Feb 06 - 10:20 PM ...'man-with-no-name'? His name was 'Goldie' wasn't it? Close. For some reason I recall Eli Wallach saying to Clint, "Don't die, Blondie. Don't die like that bastard there." It was in the scene where he'd been leading Clint--rope around his neck--across the desert and they come upon the runaway stagecoach/hospital wagon. |

Subject: RE: BS: Tonight... From: Cluin Date: 01 Feb 06 - 10:31 PM Was he the good guy or the bad guy or the ugly guy? |

Subject: RE: BS: Tonight... From: Peace Date: 01 Feb 06 - 10:49 PM Clint Eastwood - the Good Lee van Cleef - the Bad Eli Wallach - the Ugly. Scene I loved was when Tuco (EW) was in the bathtub. One of the people coming after him walks through the swinging doors, points a revolver at him and begins to tell him what he's gonna do. Wallach, who had a pistol hanging from a leather cord around his neck shoots the 'bad' guy with the gun that was hidden beneath the bubbles from the bubblebath. He then gets up, shoots him again and says, "If you're gonna shoot, shoot; don't talk." |

Subject: RE: BS: Tonight... From: GUEST,Skivee Date: 01 Feb 06 - 11:38 PM Sorry, not visable...viseeble glint. Peace, that's a fav of mine, too But it's a hell of a way to treat your pistol |

Subject: RE: BS: Tonight... From: John O'L Date: 02 Feb 06 - 07:00 AM Blondie, of course. It's been a long time. The scene I love is the one where the prisoners are forced to play music while listening to someone being tortured in a shed nearby. (Also the graveyard scene, but that goes without saying.) |

Subject: RE: BS: Tonight... From: fat B****rd Date: 02 Feb 06 - 04:00 PM I thought Lee Van Cleef was the Ugly. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tonight... From: Cluin Date: 02 Feb 06 - 05:42 PM Any one of them could have been any of the roles. Nobody wore a white hat or held a door open for a lady. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tonight... From: John O'L Date: 03 Feb 06 - 03:07 AM I think they are all identified as who is which at the end of the movie aren't they? |

Subject: RE: BS: Tonight... From: Lady Hillary Date: 04 Feb 06 - 12:28 AM Glint is the opposite of twinkle. Planets glint--stars twinkle. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Tonight... From: Arnie Date: 04 Feb 06 - 02:58 PM Well I can't see any planetary or stellar twinkles, glints or anything else visable, viseeble or visible - 'cos it's cloudy here tonight. Wonder what clouds do? |

Subject: RE: BS: Tonight... From: Sorcha Date: 04 Feb 06 - 04:23 PM Clouds hover. Like the Pale Rider |

Subject: RE: BS: Tonight... From: Cluin Date: 04 Feb 06 - 04:31 PM And almost exactly like the Canadian military's Sea King helicopters don't. |
