  1. In that case, Jak se mas! George (family name originally Juraschek)
  2. I think that there is also the concept that God is no respecter of persons. Why would He want one particular subset of Christianity to speak in tongues, and not everyone else? Similarly, the desire for prosperity in 3 John 2 is addressed to a particular individual; but why would God want Gaius to prosper, and not other believers? George
  3. I would consider the comparison more cogent had Wierwille been beaten, whipped, stoned, and imprisoned, and then continued to preach his beliefs. Other than having some bad press, he didn't really suffer for his convictions. George
  4. This reminds me of a classic "Dilbert" cartoon. (I would post the cartoon if I could find it.) It's an exchange between the Pointy-Haired Boss and Dilbert and Wally: Boss: Our policy is to employ only the BEST technical professionals. Dilbert: Question. Isn't it also our policy to base salaries on the industry AVERAGE? Boss: Right. We like them bright but clueless. Wally: I feel sorry for people like that. In this case, I guess it would be "dedicated, and REALLY clueless," because the pay scale is well below "industry" average! :lol: George
  5. Hiway got it. Honor Blackman was the Bond girl, "Pus sy Galore." (Of course, the Austin Powers character "Alotta Vagina" was a direct spoof.) After having met her, Bond comes across her in a barn and exclaims her name. I suppose that if I could have typed it with his Scottish burr, it would have been more obvious. Go, hiway! George
  6. That's it. I saw it on cable adn loved it. And, if hiway29 is lurking, Jenette Kahn was Executive Producer! George
  7. Some cheesecake PICTURES of Dooj would be nice! ;) George
  8. Further off topic! Check this site for almost every misunderstood lyric: Kissthisguy.com Is this the only game thread left? Where is everybody? George
  9. God bless! You're the best! Seriously, I do wish only happiness for both of you. Now, if we have a BBQ next year, can we count you in? George
  10. "Outstanding! I may have to give you a promotion." "That was not my motivation, Captain. I am not attempting to curry favor with you in any way." [laughing] "Mr. Tuvok, if you're going to remain on my ship, you're gonna have to learn how to appreciate a joke. And don't tell me Vulcans don't have a sense of humor, because I know better." "I will... work on it, sir." "Structure. Logic. Function. Control. A structure cannot stand without a foundation. Logic is the foundation of function. Function is the essence of control. I am in control. I am in control." "You'll find that more happens on the bridge of a starship than just carrying out orders and observing regulations. There is a sense of loyalty to the men and women you serve with. A sense of family. Those two men on trial... I served with them for a long time. I owe them my life a dozen times over. And right now they're in trouble and I'm going to help them; let the regulations be damned." "That is a most illogical line of reasoning." "You better believe it. Helm, engage!" "Mr. Sulu, I see they have finally given you the captaincy you deserve." "Thank you, Kang." "Do not let it end prematurely." "Enthraxic citrus peel, orange juice with just a hint of papalla seed extract. An experimental blend." "The success rate of your culinary experiments has not been high." "Ensign Golwat tried some yesterday, and she thought it was delicious. In fact, she had a second glass, and she never has seconds." "Ensign Golwat is Bolian. Her tongue has a cartilaginous lining. It would protect her against even the most corrosive acid." "If you were human, I'd say you had a severe panic attack." "I am not human." "No kidding." "We could have just asked her." "Asking female officers for their clothing could lead to misunderstanding." "Space must have seemed a whole lot bigger back then. It's not surprising they had to bend the rules a little. They were a little slower to invoke the Prime Directive, and a little quicker to pull their phasers. Of course, the whole bunch of them would be booted out of Starfleet today. But I have to admit: I would have loved to ride shotgun at least once with a group of officers like that." George
  11. Here's another classic from the early 70's: Lincoln job hunting George
  12. Or that it was a recent movie starring Clint Eastwood? George
  13. I almost hate myself for this one: "Pus sy!" (Hint: this was spoken in surprise, not contempt or anger.) George P.S. I had to break the word up to get it past the cuss-blocker.
  14. Elizabeth Berridge (sp?) The Betsy Lawrence Olivier George
  15. I know that this is a Bogart film, but I'm not sure which one. My best guess is "Casablanca." George
  16. Yep. "The Running Man." It featured Erland van Lidth de Jeude as Dynamo. Erland was an acquaintance of mine at MIT, where he was an engineering major, wrestler, and actor. I believe that it is actually his voice in the scenes where Dynamo is singing opera. In "Stir Crazy," another voice was dubbed in the scene where he sings in a jail cell. His first feature film was "The Wanderers." Sadly, weight was always a problem, and he died of heart failure at the young age of 34. :( Go, WW. George
  17. I use three sites to find people. Switchboard.com has five listings for Doug or Douglas McMullan. (Use the "Find a Person" tab.) Intelius.com has fourteen hits, giving ages and previous cities. You have to pay to get actual addresses and phone numbers, but it's only about $2. You can also buy a "24-hr pass" to get all the searches you want for about $20. Zabasearch has eight listings. Often, the listings include year of birth, but not for any of these. Knowing age, state, spouse's name, etc., these sites should help you find just about anyone. George
  18. Later in his life, my Dad found out that he was allergic to wheat (probably to the gluten). So, soybean-based spaghetti (looked a lot like extruded plastic), and RYE WHISKEY! George

  20. "Silence, you ninny." "Now come along with me, you ludicrous lump, there's much to be done." "You bubble-headed booby! You realize what you've done?" "My micromechanism thanks you, my computer tapes thank you, and I thank you." George
  21. The first line gives the star away. Where would one find "reruns"? George
  22. Lily Tomlin All of Me Steve Martin George
