:51:30
Marty, I'm sorry,
but I'm afraid you're stuck here.

:51:34
Doc, stuck here? I can't be stuck here.

:51:36
I got a life in 1985.

:51:39
-l got a girl.
-ls she pretty?

:51:41
Doc, she's beautiful.

:51:44
She's crazy about me. Look at this.

:51:46
Look what she wrote here.

:51:48
That says it all.

:51:50
Doc, you're my only hope.

:51:54
Marty, I'm sorry, but the only power source
capable of generating...

:51:57
...1.21 gigawatts of electricity
is a bolt of lightning.

:52:01
What did you say?
- A bolt of lightning.

:52:04
Unfortunately, you never know
when or where it's ever going to strike.

:52:09
We do now.

:52:15
This is it!

:52:17
This is the answer.

:52:19
It says here that a bolt of lightning...

:52:22
...is going to strike the clock tower
at 10:04 p.m. next Saturday night!

:52:29
If we could somehow harness
this lightning...

Jack and Jill is a classic nursery rhyme of Western culture.

There are many modern versions of it (many of them parodies), all sharing the same first rhyme:

Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after.

In Shakespeare's "Mid Summer Night's Dream" at the end of act three, it is said:

Jack shall have Jill;
Nought shall go ill;

JOURNAL ARCHIVE: Friday, June 08, 2007

I hate those dreams where I dream about something that makes perfect sense when I am dreaming but when I wake up, I don't remember. I can remember parts of it, but I can't remember the parts that seemed so profound. Take for instance a dream I had earlier. I was dreaming about the U.S. Navy F-4 Phantom fighter/bomber jet and there was something important about it I was dreaming of. Then I was dreaming of that scene in "The Postman" where the constable was asking Kevin Costner if he was really who he said he was. Costner went on to say that he would know it was true when the constable got a letter back from him. There was just something else to all that dream I cannot remember now. I got up thinking to look for that quote from the movie, and thinking I would find it, but then I couldn't find it, so that was confusing too.





JOURNAL ARCHIVE: 02/29/08 11:39 PM

I just had another dream about flying a jet in combat. I seemed to be in an F-14 Tomcat but after waking up, I think that was actually an F-4 Phantom I was flying and it was during the Vietnam War. The details are kind of fuzzy but I seemed to hear radio transmissions from other pilots in my group and at least two of them were under fire and had been shot down. I think more had been shot down that day. Then I was on the ground and I found myself with another pilot in my group and we were hiding on the side of a small hill near a small creek.





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duff_Beer_%28The_Simpsons%29

Duff Beer is a fictional brand of beer in the animated series The Simpsons. It is Homer Simpson's beer of choice. It is a parody of stereotypical commercial beer: moderately priced, average-quality, and advertised everywhere. The beer's official spokesperson is Duffman.





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-4_Phantom_II

The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II is an American two-seat, twin-engined supersonic long-range all-weather fighter-bomber originally developed for the U.S. Navy by McDonnell Aircraft

Nicknames

The Phantom gathered a number of nicknames during its career. It was the "Rhino" because of the long nose and tough titanium construction, the "Double Ugly" and "DUFF"





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_goggles

Beer goggles is a slang term for a phenomenon in which consumption of alcohol lowers sexual inhibitions to the point that very little or no discretion is used when approaching or choosing sexual partners.[citation needed] The term is often humorously applied when an individual is observed making advances towards, later regretting sexual contact with, a partner that is deemed unattractive, unacceptably scandalous, or repulsive when the prospect of sex is considered while sober. The "beer goggles" are considered to have distorted the "wearer's" vision, making unattractive people appear beautiful, or at least passably attractive. Beer goggles are also known as "Stellavision", "Beerglasses" and "The Cider Visor".[citation needed] In Yorkshire in the UK, there is a brewery called Tetleys, which has led some people to use the term "Tetleyvision".

A formula has, apparently, been devised to model this phenomenon.

There have been a number of songs written about this, chiefly Smash Mouth's "Beer Goggles", Lagwagon's "Beer Goggles", and Neal McCoy's "Billy's Got His Beer Goggles On".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_of_the_Armies

General of the Armies and General of the Armies of the United States are the highest possible ranks in the United States Army.


After World War II, which saw the introduction of U.S. "5-star" officers who outranked Washington, both Congress and the President revisited the issue of Washington's rank. To maintain George Washington's proper position as the first Commanding General of the United States Army, he was appointed, posthumously, to the grade of General of the Armies of the United States by congressional joint resolution Public Law 94-479 January 19, 1976, approved by President Gerald R. Ford on October 11, 1976. The law established the grade as having "rank and precedence over all other grades of the Army, past or present,"clearly making it superior to General of the Army. The Department of the Army Order 31-3, issued on March 13, 1978 had an effective appointment date of July 4, 1976. The rank ensures that no United States military officer outranks George Washington
