**Nurobath** I love that scene in Die Hard 3 too. When the movie is on TV for the umpteenth time, I _still_ have to watch that scene. 🙂 _“Do you smell burning feathers”_ hehehehe, Billy Bob Thornton, in ‘Bandits’? one more: “I’ve never seen a grizzly just turn and run like that.” … “Everybody else up here acts like they’ve never seen a black man before. Why should the bear be different?” ---

Yeah, but it made me think of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid when they have to jump off the cliff into the river way down below to get away from the posse. ---

Some of mine haven’t been answered so I’ll answer them here: “Easy. I know what I’m doing.” - **Road Warrior**. “Who said I was jokin’?” - **For a Few Dollars More** “Do it.” - **Platoon** Not easy, I know, but I hold Dopers to a higher standard. 🙂 ---
