    WOW! I was just kidding around today at work while clocking out (almost
    locked myself out of Kronos) by saying I Am Sparticus to every keyclick I
    did. Co-workers laughed...but I have no idea.

    He will be sorely missed...especially when he was able to stand up to help others who got screwed over at the time by being blackballed and screwed over by fundamentalist idiots by calling anyone not just like them a communist. Unlike Kazan...he helped many of these folks by giving them work & have been getting their real names put back on the projects.

    Oh I've been quoting lines from City Slickers.

    "You two pixies knock it off!"

    "Hi Curley, kill anyone today?"
    "Day ain't over yet..."

    Loved that movie. The line I use ever so often when presented with a project which may blow up in my face is:

    Fate: Oh, of course I'll keep it to myself. Until the water reaches my lower lip, and then I'm gonna mention it to SOMEBODY!

    Not Kirk, but Jack Palance.
