Last week's Movie Quiz winners

Apparently, last week's reference to "Chip and Ernie's dad" fooled some people into thinking the picture clue actually came from My Three Sons. When I told this to a regular quiz winner (who wishes to be anonymous-- you'll see why), he replied, "Don't you remember?-- that was when Uncle Bub threw dog pee on Dad
right after Ernie and Chip were caught doing coke in the laundry room. It was great!"

Of course, it was really The Caine Mutiny (1954), with Humphrey Bogart in one of his greatest roles as the strawberries-obsessed Capt. Queeg. "They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic... " (Hank Parmer, who supplied that quote, also added, "Poor Queeg-- as if being nicknamed 'Ol' Yellow Stain' wasn't bad enough.")

So congratulations and a chance to throw a drink of your choice in Fred MacMurray's face to the following quiz winners: E. Yarber, Wayne Palmer, Michael Kelly, Hank Parmer, Tim McDonough, Joe Rosenberg, and Bill Hearne. And special congrats to Joe Dawkins, who wins this week's Grand Prize, a Gram Parsons grab bag, including an 11-song CD sampler of the upcoming Gram Parsons: Complete Reprise Sessions, and the Gandulf Hennig film Gram Parsons: Fallen Angel, featuring Emmylou Harris, Keith Richards, and Dwight Yoakam. Shit, Joe, it's actually good stuff this week!
