 Here Are The Suggested Rules of the Game: 1. Please play on the most recent correct post. 2 Please verify that no one else has posted while you were preparing your post. 3. The title of the book cited must have one word, at least, which is the same as a word in the previous title. 4. The repeated word in the new title must be other than an article ("a", "an", or "the"). 5. The repeated word must be spelled exactly as the word was spelled in the previous title. E.g., "prune" is not the same word as "prunes", and "loyal" is not the same word as "loyalty." 6. The repeated word must be in the title as shown on the title page of the book--not, e.g., part of the series name unless such is part of the title as shown on the title page. 7. A hyphenated word is one word, not two: e.g., "thunder-clouds"; and if used must be repeated in full, not in part only. 8. If you have read the book it would be informative that you so indicate and tell when you read it, if you can. 9. Try to use Touchstones. Put brackets around the title and double brackets around the author. If Touchstones don't work, try using an html link.

I figured {Jamie Lee Curtis couldnʻt save True Lies} and I wouldnʻt expect Arnie and Jim to.
By the way, WHICH Arnie did you mean?
I used to ask in a trivia room the question: "
Who was the OTHER Arnold in True Lies?"
Everybody answered "Tom", but I said, no he was THE Arnold; Schwartznegger was the OTHER Arnold. There may have been 2 Arnold's but there will alway be only 1 Arnie.
