"Hi, there!" "Did I ever tell you about my Uncle..." "Up your nose with a rubber hose!"

The first-season show was apparently targeted for me and maybe a dozen people. At the time, it was relevant to me and my interests. I enjoyed it. When they gained mass appeal, they slowly disinterested me. Oh, well. I vaguely remember scheduling committee meetings for when we could all make them- which meant I couldn't get home in time to see the show any more, even if I was losing interest. We also wondered if anyone was reading our minutes. So, our minutes slowly got more and more interesting. One set of minutes had a note at the end. It pointed out we had our meetings during "Melrose Place" and asked if anyone reading the minutes could catch us up on Billy and Allison. (Although people did read the minutes and laughed, I never did get that update.) IIRC, some magazine I read at the time ("Rolling Stone"?) addressed the show, and the changes. While some of us found it relatable, it didn't have mass appeal in season one. What the public wanted was "conflict." So, that started when they added Heather Locklear's character to the cast. "What we needed was a cat among the pigeons." I lost track of the show, and eventually it went really soap opera, and once a season someone got thrown into the pool or fell into it or something. I heard, when the show ended, they'd given little vials of water to the cast and crew- the pool, emptied for the final time.

Apparently, I've heard it before, but not enough or recently enough that I was able to even narrow it down to the artist.

Nope. Truman got just under 50%. Eisenhower did better (both times) but didn't top 58%. George

It is indeed

No. If this wasn't in your wheelhouse George I thought it would be in Raf's or waysider's even WordWolf's. Apparently I was wrong. Unknowingly, I almost gave the title away; It's "Hey Hey What Can I do" by ~Led Zeppelin~

I'm chiming in late here, didn't notice it. Let me go with Harry Middle name stands for nothing S Truman.

Surprisingly, no, though he did pull 60.8% in 1936. Nixon got 60.7% in 1972. Who's the winner? George As a side note, Lincoln got the LOWEST popular vote percentage of all time, in 1860, just under 40%.

Not a chance. I actually forgot I posted this. Two of those lines were from the same movie and some of the most memorable. I may have underestimated this actors scope of familiar movie lines. I may decide to reveal and throw up something else. A third line then from the same movie "I'm so hungry I could eat the as s end out of a dead rhino, I should have had you get me three of these things!

Without counting, I'm going with "MELROSE PLACE." When it started, it wasn't really a soap opera. I was one of a tiny minority watching it. That a tiny minority was watching a primetime show was why they soap opera'd it.

FDR

No. Not a reality show.

Big Brother? George

Just great. Finally reach my name on the hurricane list...

Originally this series was about seven people facing the challenges of life. By the end of the first season, it was becoming a soap opera. By the end of the last season, only one of the original cast members was still on the show, which by then was well known for two stars that were not remotely part of the original plan.

Now they're predicting Raf () to spin around a while and then just dissipate due to wind shear. George

Spies Like Us. FREE POST George

"Hi, there!" "Did I ever tell you about my Uncle..."

It's obvious I've never seen this movie. Otherwise, I'm stuck.

Sorry, never actually watched the show.

From Goodreads, a blurb about Levi Roach's book An in-depth exploration of documentary forgery at the turn of the first millennium Forgery and Memory at the End of the First Millennium takes a fresh look at documentary forgery and historical memory in the Middle Ages. In the tenth and eleventh centuries, religious houses across Europe began falsifying texts to improve local documentary records on an unprecedented scale. As Levi Roach illustrates, the resulting wave of forgery signaled major shifts in society and political culture, shifts which would lay the foundations for the European ancien régime. Spanning documentary traditions across France, England, Germany and northern Italy, Roach examines five sets of falsified texts to demonstrate how forged records produced in this period gave voice to new collective identities within and beyond the Church. Above all, he indicates how this fad for falsification points to new attitudes toward past and present―a developing fascination with the signs of antiquity. These conclusions revise traditional master narratives about the development of antiquarianism in the modern era, showing that medieval forgers were every bit as sophisticated as their Renaissance successors. Medieval forgers were simply interested in different subjects―the history of the Church and their local realms, rather than the literary world of classical antiquity. A comparative history of falsified records at a crucial turning point in the Middle Ages, Forgery and Memory at the End of the First Millennium offers valuable insights into how institutions and individuals rewrote and reimagined the past.

7th, "if it's the truth, what does it matter if he plagiarized?" Except so much of what he plagiarized isn't true or accurate. And I don't mean doctrinal positions -- that's a matter of belief, opinion, preference. Also, to plagiarize is to lie. The liar can't convey the truth - simple math. It's not the truth because victor says so. If one must dishonestly twist the text to say and mean what it plainly does not, it's not the truth. Test all things. We've advanced a long, long way in our understanding of Koine Greek since Bullinger and his Victorian sensibilities. Bullinger is outdated. There are better, more accurate lexicons available today. Not to mention easily reproved, corrected and refuted imaginations like the four-crucified stupidity.
