You're the kind of person you meet at certain dismal, dull affairs Center of a crowd, talking much too loud, running up and down the stairs Well, it seems to me that you have seen too much in too few years And though you've tried you just can't hide your eyes are edged with tears (chorus) When you were a child you were treated kind But you were never brought up right. You were always spoiled with a thousand toys but still you cried all night. Your mother who neglected you owes a million dollars tax. And your father's still perfecting ways of making ceiling wax. If no one gets it, I'll add some of the chorus,which should give it away. George

OK. Be that way. Here's an easy one, if you've seen the show. three pics George

Gotta be. you're up! George

Anyone want to give this a try? It's not that hard to post picture clues. George

Time to google and move this on. As it happens, the only other Russell Brand movie I've even HEARD Of is Forgetting Sarah Marshall Mila Kunis Max Payne George

Euphemism notwithstanding, I'm not getting it. Maybe another line? George

I don't think this one has been used yet: She asked him why... George

Absolutely right! Well done. George

It's been longer for Montana, so they must REALLY be due! :lol: I love the counterinductive reasoning people attribute to these things. They even speak of a "law of averages," as if there were such a thing. Hurricanes happen when certain climactic factors are right. You're no more "due" than you were last year, and will be no less "due" next year. George

This is an older movie. (Not older than I, though!) "And maybe there's no peace in this world, for us or for anyone else, I don't know. But I do know that, as long as we live, we must remain true to ourselves." "You and I have a tendency towards corpulence. Corpulence makes a man reasonable, pleasant and phlegmatic. Have you noticed the nastiest of tyrants are invariably thin?" "The enemies of the state are known, arrests are being made, the prisons begin to fill." George

Somewhat off-topic, but this reminds me of an old joke: A newlywed couple enter their new home together. The husband (much larger than his wife) takes off his pants and tells her to put them on. They're obviously much too big, and she says, "I can't wear these!" "That's right," he replies,"because I wear the pants in this family!" The wife then takes off her panties and tells her husband to put them on. "I can't get into these!" he exclaims. "That's right, and you WON'T be getting into those until you change your attitude!" :lol:

The "russell" hint helped more than the quotes! "Gladiator"? George

1 "Captain! They're now locking lasers on us." 2 "Lasers?" 1 "Yes, sir." 3 "Lasers can't even penetrate our navigation shields, don't they know that?" 2 "Regulations... do call for yellow alert." 3 "Hm... Very old regulation. Well... reduce speed. Drop main shields as well." 2 "May I ask why, sir?" 3 "In case we decide to surrender to them." "You spoiled the joke. You know, it could have been your timing." "My timing is digital." "That's funny." George

Not ringing a bell here. :( George

Of course. George

Waylaid, I think I posted the last time about the same time you were apologizing, so I didn't see it. About the VPW comment: note the "wink" smiley ;) it means I'm kidding. And feel free to disagree with other posters. It's not a matter of "stepping on toes." I don't expect you to "toe the party line" here. That's the same kind of BS that TWI promulgates. A measured response, without insults, will usually get your point across more effectively. George SHAMELESS PLUG: Feel free to check out the "game" threads in the "Reading Room" forum. No TWI_bashing there, just some fun. (Before jumping into one of the games, though, be sure to read the first couple of posts of each one to make sure you know the rules.)

"So let it be written; so let it be done!" George

I ALWAYS called myself a Christian as a Wayfer. It made more sense than "not-Trinitarian." VPW pointed out in PFAL that beleivers were called "that way" before they were called Christians, but I don't ever recall Christian being used as a derogatory term in TWI. George

About the only thing everyone in GS has in common is some association with TWI. Most of us are out (from very recently to decades); some are in; some have family or friends who are in. In general, you will find that most of us had bad experiences. Poking fun at TWI or its leaders is a way to release those experiences. It's also a way to warn innie "lurkers" that life in Wayworld isn't what its salesmen represent it as. At any rate, it should be no concern of yours how long someone has been posting here. If you feel you have nothing to learn or to contribute, you're free to move on. If you feel you DO have something to learn or to contribute, feel free to stay. But tone down the attitude! First impressions, and all. Didn't VP recommend How to Win Friends and Influence People? ;) George

Same here. Interestingly, it always says I am teh only user of Shoutbox. George

I think we need a few more lines. George
