Both lines are from the same movie. Let's see if another line clicks. "Your a monster Zork"! "I know". - Today

Speaking in tongues: A new angle
Nathan_Jr replied to Raf's topic in Atheism, nontheism, skepticism: Questioning Faith
To your point, Acts 2 seems to be xenolalia or xenoglossia. -
Apparently the first spinoff of Man About the House was indeed about the Ropers, but it was called "George and Mildred." Joyce DeWitt, Jennilee Harrison and Priscilla Barnes are known mostly for their roles as Jack Tripper's roommates, Janet, Cindy and Teri. Priscilla Barnes later starred in Traxx. You're up!

"I just learned something very interesting." "'Pinocchio.' You risked our lives based on something you read in a children's book?" "Wait, it's a book? How about that? I got it from a movie." "I will return to you when it's safe. One day, right here, at sunrise, we'll be together again." George

"Meeting an insurance agent the day your policy runs out is coincidence. Getting a letter from the emperor saying he's visiting is plot. Having your apartment eaten by a wrecking ball... is something else entirely. Harold, you don't control your fate". "If its yellow let it mellow, if its brown flush it down... Oops, forgot my own rule". "You're the first - you're the first thing for so long that I've liked. The first person I could stand to be with. My whole life is such a waste. It's just nothing. I'm sorry. I'll take you home now". "Twenty-five seats, given to orphans. Perfect. Now my nightmare is complete". Could be right. Need confirmation from Human. George

Sorry I didn't check in sooner. If I'm correct..... The original British show was "Man About the House." It spun off "the Ropers" and morphed later into "Robin's Nest" with the male lead (of the 3 leads.) The US show was "Three's Company." It spun off "the Ropers". It was unsuccessfully succeeded by "THREE'S A CROWD." (Jack Tripper was spun off unsuccessfully in that one.) John Ritter and Suzanne Somers had shows ("...Rules for Dating my Daughter", "She's the Sheriff") and John Ritter had some movies. Don Knotts ("Barney Fife") was brought in as Ralph Furley when the Ropers were spun off. Norman Fell (Mr Roper) was in the original "Oceans 11." The actress who played Mrs Roper starred in an episode of "Tales from the Crypt" ("Collection Completed.")

Speaking in tongues: A new angle

I moved recently, so my PFAL materials are still packed up. I'll see if I can get them back out this weekend. -
Quick recap for anyone unfamiliar. Part of my deconstruction process involved a hard look at SIT, reaching the conclusion that if TWI was right about what it means Biblically to speak in tongues, then what they taught us to do in PFAL was not real Biblical tongues. I carefully went over all the usages of SIT and tongues in the New Testament to demonstrate that tongues were always languages. Blah blah blah, we all faked it, I concluded. Some of you agreed with me. Some of you beat me to it by years. Some of you disagreed. Life moved on. I'd like to take another run at the topic from a different angle. The careful review of SIT depended very much on the notion that all the writers of the New Testament were in agreement about SIT. Since only two are relevant, let's cut to the chase: What if Paul and Luke (whoever Luke was) disagreed about the meaning of SIT? It would help explain why Paul would say something like "no man understands" while Luke gives us the first instance of SIT, where everyone understands these babbling apostles. Is it possible that Luke meant known human languages, but Paul did not? It would be my position that Paul wrote his doctrine on SIT before the Acts 2 story was made up, which would be the simplest reason he didn't know about exceptions to the "no man understands" rule he laid down without hesitation. It would also make sense for Luke (or whoever concocted the Acts 2 story) to invent a practical reason God would have wanted his people to SIT in the first place, since Paul doesn't really give a coherent reason this "gift" or "manifestation" is of any use. Interested in other thoughts.

Ok, so you have a US comedy that stuck around long enough to wear out its welcome (eight seasons). Its stars are famous primarily because of their roles in this show. Two went on to star in other shows, so it's not like their careers just vanished. But still. They are remembered primarily for this one. One supporting star was famous before this show and is better remembered for his role in the earlier show. He was not an original cast member. He was brought in to replace two actors who went on to star in their own spinoff, which did not do well. The two actors he replaced are primarily remembered for this show. Of the original cast, there is one surviving member who is pretty much known solely for this role. Three title cast members survive. All are women. All are known primarily (if at all) for their role in this series. Only one of the cast members joined the spinoff. Now, once you realize the name of the series, the earlier clues should tell you the name of the spinoff even if you don't remember it.
