  1. It is, indeed. "I'll let you hold the bomb..." "The man knows me!" Homer convincing Bart to leave the Flanderses. "We have a great life here in Alaska, and we're never going back to America again!" Homer, to his family after they've escaped the dome over Springfield and hide from the government. "Ok, boys, when you meet Jesus, be sure to call Him Mr. Christ." "Will Buddha be there?" "No." The Flanderses, preparing for the end. "This is the worst day of my life!" "No, it's the worst day of your life SO FAR!" Bart, and Homer's reply. "What was THAT?" "I believe it was the same sound made by the Green Lantern when Sinestro threw him into a vat of acid." Comic Book Guy responding to a scream. I chuckle every time I think of this. :D "My whole life...I've done nothing but collect comic books... A life WELL SPENT!!" Comic Book Guy, preparing for the end. I sympathize. George

  3. Young Frankenstein Marty Feldman The Adventure of Shelock Holmes' Smarter Brother George
  4. That's it! "The Abandoned." There was also a subplot about Jake's date with a Dabo girl, but who cares? Go Steve!! George
  5. Well, you know what they say...big hands, big --er--rooster! George
  6. "What sort of 'specialists' are we talking about, Commander?" "There will be a team of xenobiologists and exopsychologists waiting for him." "So... they're going to study him. Like a laboratory specimen." "Well, he'll be very well treated." "So, he'll be a well-treated specimen." "When the Constellation arrives, I'll tell them that I couldn't stop you from leaving. That I would've had to kill the boy to keep him here. Admiral Nechayev won't like that answer, but it has the virtue of being the truth." "I never thought I would say this to you, but you are listening to your heart, not your head. That boy was created in a laboratory. His body, his mind, his instincts, are all designed to do one thing: to kill." "What do you want? Do you have any needs or desires of your own?" "I want to fight!" "Who? Me?" "No. The others." "Why?" "I don't know! But that's what I want to do! Is that wrong?" George
  7. "Walk Like a Man" (WOK, LEGO MAN) is correct. I think Tom should post, simply because it's been so long since he's done one. George
  8. Looks right to me. Let's give Raf a day to check back in, though, just to be sure. George
  9. I'm sure that there is at least one. And this is one. ;) George
  10. two pics. the second clue is a little tricky George
  11. I think that that's Ice-Cube, If the first picture is a mine instead of a well, and the second has something to do with friendship (in French), the maybe it's MINE + AMI + ICE "Miami Vice"? George
  12. Still not seeing it. Sometimes it depends on the browser or the phase of the moon. Can you post another pic to represent the same sound? George
  13. I'm giving this clue from memory, so it may have been: "What was THAT?" "I believe it was the same sound made by the Green Lantern when Sinestro threw him into a vat of acid." Another clue: "This is the worst day of my life!" "No, it's the worst day of your life SO FAR!" George
  14. I think I did this with two pictures of Clinton in his "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" pose. "Liar, Liar"? George
  15. Correct, bulwinkl! You're up. George
  16. I only see two pictures: something that looks like a well (or a picture frame?) and a Post-it note. George
  17. I may have already done this one a while ago, but... She wants to return those things I bought her. Tell her she can keep them, just the same. George
  18. Yes. I just googled and found out I was right. So... "What was THAT?" "I believe it was the sound made by the Green Lantern when Sinestro threw him into a vat of acid." George
  19. A note to video posters: when I was working at Dow, all videos (YouTube, etc.) were blocked and didn't even show up in posts. Please give the title and artist (and, if you wish, a video or link). George
  20. That's got to be "Afternoon Delight" by the Starland Vocal Band. George
  21. I don't know if I'm considered a "Big Leaguer," since most of my posts are in the less battle-scarred game and prayer threads, but occasionally I like to add my three cents (adjusted for inflation) to these. I find the give-and-take at Greasespot refreshing, although I must admit that seeing the same old battles resurfacing everywhere is a bit disheartening. And it works both ways. Someone in a "TWI Stinks" thread posts an experience, and a few "defend TWI at all costs" posters have to flame it, at BEST posting what they believe to be counterexamples, but usually just saying "I never saw that, and you can't prove it, so quit 'lying.'" Someone else starts a "remember this good thing from TWI" thread, and a bunch of others have to chime in with "VPW was a drunken, lying, serial rapist, so your experiences are invalid and how DARE you derive some benefit when others were hurt." Is there a solution to this? I really doubt it. In an ideal world, we'd all gauge the intent of the previous posters and calibrate our responses appopriately. The evidence here indicates that that just isn't going to happen. (Not that some don't try, of course.) Some of the suggestions here are compassionate but have flaws. For instance, Roy's suggestion of a "no rebuttal" thread (or, rather, forum) has the problem that anyone could post ANYTHING, no matter how untrue, and it would have to be taken at face value. Whereas I think it's wrong to dismiss posts about personal experiences as unprovable, if someone posts something that I KNOW to be untrue (I was there, or whatever), I should have the opportunity to rebut it. The "Ban the Wierwille Apologists" idea is draconian and, IMHO, just plain wrong-headed. If the purpose of GS is to help those who have endured TWI, then I believe it's important to have all viewpoints expressed. Obviously, Paw and the moderators can ban whomever they want; but wasn't allowing only one point of view one of the big problems with TWI? I also think that the suggestion that "Big Leaguers" may intimidate newbies with logic is rather silly. Logic is probably the only thing that will help set the newbies straight. I would only suggest that those who have been at this game a while remember what it was like to BE a newbie and temper their logic with compassion. (Sounds like an old Star Trek episode, with Spock and McCoy reading Kirk's last instructions!) Let us hear the conclusion of the matter: we are not all going to get along, but we can TRY to! George
