Well, ok, Mocha Tree Girl, but I thought the Catholic church was the entire body of Christ (or Bride....save that one for the doctrinal thread, OK?). So to distinguish the Pope's flock from the rest of us who are not members of that organization I say the Roman Catholic church (including all its subdivisions...Jesuits, Latin Rite, etc.) I had this discussion and with my Pastor (Protestant non denominational)and even he referred to himself as a member of the Catholic church which is the entire Universal Church. So to me, RCC is correct when referring to the group that has it's HQ in Rome. Unless, if you are RCC, then there is no other Church, I think, officially. Like us Protestants, or Greek Orthodoxers, and so on. Rob Now back to the Pope! (heh)

Janis Joplin died Oct. 4, 1970...I'd say she's a doubtful piffle possibility. Jim Morrison died July 3, 1971....another doubtful piffle possibility.

11/20 but I was forewarned by you all. and I dispute some of the taste tests.

Hi Raf, I'm browsing important forums like "friend finder" and the hilarious "ninth kork" thread, and reading stuff on your site. We oughta try and hook up for a Marlins game or come out on my boat (before I sell it this fall-28 ft., twin Yamaha 200's, offshore vessel)for a day. But as to this thread: I have watched this Pope travel the world and have personal one on one's with world leaders and dictators to try and bring about change. He's really worked hard, and has tried to restore broken relationships from as far back as WWII and perhaps further. As far as the RCC's doctrine: I disagree with a lot of it, but I still respect and, I guess in some way, admire this Pope for what he has tried to do, and because of his hard work. Rob

Pope John Paul II is your brother, folks. He's one of us, IMO. May he go peacefully. Rob

doggone, is that when they were? In March? I totally forgot about dem things. Pfffft on'em.

Hey Jonny, I had dinner with him in S. FL. around 1988. He was out and doing art work or something, in the Sante Fe area. Hi sister lives down here in Hollywood. He was finally free to express himself and be himself in every regard, if you catch my drift, without fear. He was doing OK. Haven't seen or heard anything since.

I remember Todd doing that....what a hoot. I'd tell some stories but I'm a two fingered typist....take too long. Thanks for the compliments Jonny...and I loved anybody's car in those days, especially the ones we could drink beer in...like Chr*s Rawl*ins van..heh. rob

Why Jonny....I didn't know you was a fake clergymanual? How could you????? After we graduated and was at cork week, a bunch of us went out drinking one night (imagine dat!) and I ran into Pat L*nn, and while we was all tossing them back she says "You coulda been a Cork coor. at Emporia...you was a real sharpie, but you lost your edge...it just disappeared after your interim year. You know, you coulda been a real Hotdog." I thought, "If I gotta bust people and do all dat upper echelon BS to be a cork coor. then I am GLAD I lost my edge." And I still consider her comment that night over twenty years ago a compliment and a Badge that I wear proudly when I think of it. BTW, my interim year was at HQ...now how on earth could I lose my edge at dat place? After HQ, I was tired of the BS, and was so miserable our last year that all I wanted to do was make it to graditation......I figured it had to better on the field. Heh NOT. Jonny, do you remember at Emporia how Pat L*nn always beat the 10th cork down, and how she made us clean and clean and clean and it was never ever good enough? Well, dem days is gone, and I could write about some wild and fun times, and maybe I wiull later, but the fun stuff was with the people, Cork or uncorked, ....not by doing the rules and regs. Amen Rob

Piffle in summer 1974, College WOW, then 10th Corpse, and left in October 1986 after POP, and unrepentant BOT's and other mighty BS. Great folks, lousy other stuff.

Sorry, Ex. I can't hardly remember any of those names and incidents much anymore. But I definitely remember your face and girlish figure. Better?

nah, i wasn't in it....everyone thought I was too straight. Jorge Hitchfield,,,,yeah. And who are the others?

who dem be??? Back row:: ? ? ? Jorge Dieppa Ex10 (damn, girl, forgot yo name..know dat face then front. ? ? ? ? Were we really that young??

Well, it wasn't Jonny Lingo!!!!! heh heh.

my first year in the 10th we ate everything that was set in front of us...the portions were about right5 for a 100 lb. female on a diet. I ate the broccoli millet casserole gladly. I ate everything except the liver...even ate the borscht. The 11th Corps had John Lynn there and that's when it changed. I lost 30 lbs in the first two months. You 'member that, Jonny Lingo? Never knew what constant hunger was till the Corpse in residence. But gee, some of the incidents are hilarious, and most of the people were great. There i was, standing on the Wierwille Library steps on that beeeeeeaaauuuutifoooool autumn day........

nevermind. not up wit da tread.

Thank you, Mr. H.

Thank you, Jesus.

I am proud that i am a COPPED OUT CORPS GRAD as of 1986. I like to keep things simple. rob

I don't think there was any "conspiracy." None of them were that smart...ya know? They became corrupted by power.

As of 1998 that Clan was back up from where dey hailed from...Seattle area? Trisha was maybe in Portland...but dat be de area I'd be a startin' to look in...the NW.

back atcha, Excathedra. Alfakat is right. The Sommervilles did not want to be involved on a deep level. I forgot about that and not that what VP said had any wieght, but I remember him saying that thing many times about the Wierwille clan being involved.

Yeah, leave the kids out of it. Show some respect like the mafia does...leave the wife and kids out of it. rob

Some movies are much better appreciated when seen on the Big Screen or some feeling or something gets left out...this was one of them. Not even the best Home Enter. Center can duplicate a Big Screen (movie theatre).

Hiya Raf, One more thing...I think a character like Cruises' would memorize his hit list first thing. It's implausible that a fella like that wouldn't have time to brief himself on the hits. And he was smart enough to have the addresses down in 2 minutes. A serious flaw in the script. Rob
