Check out my new avatar. Don't you think he bears a passing similarity to Lloyd Bridges' character Adm. Thomas 'Tug' Benson, in Hot Shots?

Admiral Benson (http://www.subsim.com/name/nm0000978/): I slipped on a crab. Who put that crab there?
Lt. Commander Block (http://www.subsim.com/name/nm0242656/): I don't see any crab, sir.
Admiral Benson (http://www.subsim.com/name/nm0000978/): Don't tell me. There were two crabs. They work in pairs. I went to Annapolis for chrissakes!

Jim 'Wash Out' Pfaffenbach: Looks like enemy aircraft at 12 o'clock.
Admiral Benson: Really? 12 o'clock? Well, that gives us about...
[checks his watch]
Admiral Benson: 25 minutes. Think I'll step out for a burger.

:yeah:

That was an awesome movie! :har:

My eyes are ceramic. Caught a bazooka round at Little Big Horn. Or was it Okinawa? The one without the Indians.

I think that opinion of Admiral Halsey is a bit... rash? :D

Did you know that Loyd Bridges was originally offered the role as the Captain of the Starship Enterprise? :03:

I think William Shatner is the most, James Kirk/T.J. Hooker/Denny Crane, I own the full set of Boston Legal, I hope to own the full Star Trek set!!:yeah:

Sea Hunt is on really early in the mornings here. Way better than infomercials, IMO. :up:

Check out the movie Showtime. Not only does Eddie Murphy do a great spoof of himself as a failed Eddie Murphy wannabe, but Shatner plays himself trying to show Murphy and DeNiro "How TJ Hooker would do it."

Hilarious stuff!

I used to get angry (as a youngster) at the opening scene when he faced his officers and pieces of his uniform were removed. :oops:
