"Scent of a Woman"? George

Early commercials for this show began with the line, "Remember when Saturday Night Live was funny? Neither do we!" George

My story is a little different from WordWolf's, although we had similar upbringing (RC in a practicing RC family). I, also, had not read the Bible. Catholic services include three Scripture readings (an OT section, something from an epistle, and then something from the Gospels). OCCASIONALLY, the sermon would actually involve some exegesis of those verses, though, usually, the sermon was more about general topics and barely touched on the prescribed readings for the day. SO...my knowledge of the Bible was so limited, I just assumed that Catholic doctrine coincided with it. I was witnessed to while in graduate school. I attended the campus RC church, being involved in the lay ministry and choir. A couple of students asked me if I wished to attend a Bible fellowship. My feeling was, things are going well in my life; maybe it's time to learn about the Bible. :) The fundamentalist aspect of The Way appealed to my scientific mind (and still does). So, I abandoned RC doctrine years ago, and haven't turned back. As for what seems to be a side thread going here, I know wonderful Catholics, wonderful Mormons, wonderful Hindus, wonderful Jehovah's Witnesses, and wonderful Way (and ex-Way) folks. I don't agree with most of them on doctrine, but I consider them friends. (I've also met Catholics, Mormons, Hindus, JWs and Wayfers who are total jerks.) George

"Here come the Brides" Two of the stars of HCTB were in the original Star Trek. Robert Brown ("Jason") was in the episode "The Alternative Factor." Mark Lenard ("Aaron Stemple") played a Romulan commander, but is best known for his recurring role as Sarek. New one soon. George

Dat's de one. ;) George

Not quite that recent. "You built a bomb?" "No, I didn't build a bomb! Don't you read the news? Hundreds of these things come through the mail every day! I just kept one in case I ever needed it!" "I couldn't find the kid a doll. Now, does that make me a bad father? No. But yelling at him for no good reason. Now, that makes me a bad father." "Look, we get one chance a year to prove we're not screw-ups, and what do we do? We screw it up!" "I remember a few years ago, I really wanted to do something special for Jamie. So, I built him his own clubhouse. It came out great. Oh , well the door was a little crooked, right? The roof didn't sit quite right. But you should have seen his face light up! Ah, when he saw that, he was so excited. We played in that clubhouse the entire day. He even made us Christmas dinner in it." "They sit there and use subliminal messages to suck your children's minds out! And I know what I'm talking about because I went to junior college for a semester and I studied psychology so I'm right in there, I know what's going on. And then they sit there and they make your children feel like garbage and you, the father, who's working 24/7 delivering mail so you can make an alimony payment to a woman that slept with everybody at the post office, but me! And then when you get the toy, it breaks and you can't fix it because it's little cheap plastic!" George

"Why am I doing this, again?" "When you can balance a tack hammer on your head, you will head off your foes with a balanced attack." "And why am I wearing the watermelon on my feet?" "I don't remember telling you to do that." "Someone must have ripped the "Q" section out of my dictionary, 'cause I don't know the meaning of the word "quit"." "Really. You're... you're all superheroes." "Well, we fight crime. Call it what you will." "You encased your father's skull in a bowling ball???" "Don't be ridiculous. I had the pro shop do it." George

OK, then. "The Jimmy Dean Show" Wasn't Rowlph the first Muppet? A rock band made up of a beagle, a gorilla, a lion, and an elephant. George

I guess you just need to say that if a line is "straight up and down" (or parallel to the Y-axis), its slope is undefined, because slope = (delta Y)/(delta X), but between any two points on the line, delta X = 0. Just as the term 5/0 is undefined (there is no number X such that 0X=5), so is the slope of a line parallel to the Y-axis. I could see how one might call that "no slope," although that would be an imprecise description. This is, of course, different from zero slope, which would be a horizontal line (parallel to the X-axis), since for any two points on the line, delta Y = 0. George
