Hey Laura,
I was wondering if it was you. Couldn't check online, since I'm on a thight schedule to catch my Go Train in the morning.
If it makes you feel any better, I would have lost too (I thought it was "she wants more". Both the word and the tense wrong).
I hope you didn't waste the few remaining drop of 2010 good luck on this call, and you still have some for the bag you're going for. You already won $10K, plus a trip to Boston, quite the year...Last edited by db band; Fri, Nov 19th, 2010 at 02:34 PM.

I don't think the fine folks at the "Q" have rewarded the 10,000 referral bonus points as of yet.
There was a person looking into it, but I still have not received mine & if they have stopped doing this, they should let us know.
Has anyone heard anything on this, besides the person looking into it?

[QUOTE=truenorthstrongnfree;2663379]The "other movie" is Being There, his final film. I haven't seen it, but I understand it's worth checking out.
QUOTE]
If we're to believe 2004's The Life and Death of Peter Sellers, the Briton who seemingly defined the term 'comic actor' was an angry shell of a man, a vacant vessel who stumbled his way through life. Given that, could there be a more brilliant or appropriate final hurrah for Sellers than Being There?
In his final big role before his death, Sellers brings to life a man called Chance, a feeble-minded and quiet middle-aged gardener in a Washington, D.C. mansion he's never left. Chance's life - which consists of tending to the small garden, taking meals prepared by another servant, and watching and mimicking television - is shattered when the patron of the manse passes away and the house is sold, forcing Chance out into the harsh world he's never experienced.
Via a fortunate accident, Chance finds himself welcomed into the household of another dying tycoon (Melvyn Douglas), this one with a lovely, younger wife (Shirley MacLaine) and some serious political juice. But Chance is no day laborer here; the confused inhabitants of the estate misinterpret the simple horticultural platitudes of the well-dressed stranger as economic wisdom, and the man who comes to be known as 'Chauncey Gardiner,' through no determination of his own, falls upward to a position of great fame and power he doesn't understand or care about in the least. And since he's lived off the grid for his entire life, the CIA, FBI, the Washington Post, and even the President of the United States find him inscrutable, fascinating, and threatening.
While Sellers made his cinematic fame falling down staircases and engaging in zany mix-'em-ups, this massive departure is the finest performance of his career, eclipsing even his many faces in Dr. Strangelove. In Being There, Sellers creates a character that's empty, vapid, and with nothing to say, but exuding profundity, calculation, and utter Zen. It earned him his second and final Academy Award nomination for acting.
Beyond Sellers' and his supporters' excellent performances, the screenplay, the settings, and the direction are all nearly flawless. Being There does, however, require a certain suspension of belief. A 'love scene' that involves MacLaine masturbating on the floor and Sellers attempting a headstand on the bed especially tests the premise of the satire, but its excruciating hilarity trumps any hairs that might be split.
Although more than 25 years old, Being There is a vital statement on our TV reality, on how we develop our heroes, and on how power perpetuates itself. And it's funny as hell.I can't profess to understand God's plan. Christ promised the resurrection of the dead. I just thought he had something a little different in mind.

Good Morning All!
I wasn't listening to Stump the Chump this morning, every time I did the person got it so I just figured the phone would wake me if I got THE call. Very lucky to get the call Laura! You almost got the trip maybe it was because of the other win that they got you on that little technicality, must have been exciting though. Who was the 107th caller?
What is going on with heartgirl? i didn't hear anything, is she alright?
