"Girl of 15, sexually knowing, the ushers are sniffing eau de cologne." "Magically bored on a quiet street corner. Free frustration in our minds and our toes. Quiet storm water, my generation. Uppers and downers, either way, blood flows." I could probably make this even easier, but why should I care?

Apparently, I've picked the right time to check in and post. Ok, let's see what I can add...

OK. I got confused because MM was in "Love Happy", which also included Harpo, with Groucho and Chico making appearances. It was not a "Marx Brothers movie", it was a movie in which 3 Marx Brothers appeared. "Monkey Business (1931)" was a Marx Brothers film from back when 4 brothers worked for Universal. "Monkey Business (1952)" was a film with MM and Cary Grant and Ginger Rogers and so on. With so many movies, sooner or later, we get movies with the same title, hopefully not often. Often, the plots won't have anything to do with each other whatsoever.

That's him. I was getting ready to add Scaramanga to the list if this didn't work.

Yes, this was known as "the Heidi Bowl" in some circles due to this blunder.

As something that is an attempt to reflect a Bible-based position, I thought it belonged in Doctrinal, but it's far better of in Matters of Faith than in About The Way.

"Wonder Woman".

Must be more than one movie called "Monkey Business." The one I know has the Marx Brothers in it. MARILYN MONROE???? (And, if so, was "Love Happy" meant rather than "Monkey Business"?)

OK, I have a sports question (yes, really.) Nowadays, US TV allows broadcasts of US sporting events to have coverage for as long as the event lasts. They used to allow for a large time slot, and kept to that, even if the game might have a few minutes remaining somehow afterwards. This practice ended largely due to a game where the actual game's coverage on the East Coast was interrupted by a television movie. As it turned out, the missing portion of the game included an amazing comeback, and a team coming from behind to win the match. Normal question- WHAT WAS THE NAME OF THE MOVIE THAT INTERRUPTED THE GAME? Ridiculously hard question- WHICH TWO TEAMS WERE PLAYING IN THE INTERRUPTED GAME? Answer the ridiculously hard question if you can. Otherwise, please answer the normal question.

waysider's turn!

"you allowed this post to stay in about the way for some time." Technically true, but he also later apologized both for missing the request to move the thread, and for leaving it there so long regardless (since it didn't need a request to be moved.) I'm willing to take his apology at face value. He could just as easily post something inflammatory and claim it was intentional, so I don't see any point for him to LIE and say it should have been moved, without consequence. Therefore, I think it's logical his apology was sincere and I've accepted it. In other news, dredging up the other thread at this point, to me, amounts to advertising it, and I'm not in favor of that, so I won't.

George returns- with the correct answer!

Ok, as an Aerosmith fan (if a minor one), I was expecting one of their older songs, something from the 70s. This was off "Permanent Vacation," in the late 80s. I don't know Frankie Valli's portfolio, but the only Aerosmith song that I know of that actually was a DC villain's name was "RAG DOLL." I'm very confident that the villain did NOT inspire the song.

Excellent inquiry.

Ok, that was "Yellow Submarine." The next one.... "Girl of 15, sexually knowing, the ushers are sniffing eau de cologne."

"Gnomish Space Marines." "We all live in the Gnomish Space Marines, Gnomish Space Marines, Gnomish Space Marines..."

Amazingly, that was a miss.

If you want to follow up on this, there were discussions in previous threads. Here's a few: https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/12635-other-prophesies-prophets-and-charismaniacs/ https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/13026-they-pulled-that-stupid-prophecy-thing-off-their-website/ https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/12471-ces-is-in-a-mess/ https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/12521-prophecy-and-dreams/ https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/20712-jals-most-recent-email-12272009/ There were a bunch of threads that addressed the original claims, with Karen G claiming to see spiders come out of people's noses and so on. For those of you wondering how this stuff works, I started a thread... We discussed "personal prophecy", cold reading and hot reading. https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/12632-step-right-up-get-your-own-personal-prophecy/

It is a "thing." It is a con that should have been caught when it was introduced to CES/STFI by its top people. Instead, people blindly went along, to the point that they were willing to turn on their spouses if someone spoke against them with a "personal prophecy." Pretty early in CES history, they went from "let's discuss things openly" to "here's our doctrine and don't dare try to speak against it." Part of that was their so-called "personal prophecy." It was personal. It was not "prophecy" because it was CALLED that but was actually just some fool dressing up nonsense to sound godly, OR some nonsense meant to attack someone that was spoken if that person was an obstacle. For all of JAL's supposed skills at understanding things, he let them just badmouth his Mrs and get between them, breaking up his marriage because some fool dressed up some slander against her. It was no more sensible than if some woman in a gypsy costume said some nonsense and JAL decided to leave his wife because she was evil. (BTW, JAL later repented of teaching this and believing it, but he NEVER apologized to all the people he misled, and neither did the charlatans who conned him.) There's been entire discussions about this.

1. A lot of posters who are still Christians are still gun-shy about getting on any bandwagon after what happened in twi. There's a lot of suspicion when a new idea shows up. (Some of this would have been useful when "Momentus" and "personal prophecy" were thrown at people who were supposed to swallow them and not object or even question either.) 2. Strictly speaking, I would not say God and/or Jesus Christ have been excluded from this messageboard. I don't think they're particularly welcome at present, but that doesn't mean threads on either will actually be deleted or locked. However, they might be MOVED. "Open" is for discussions that don't fit ANY other category. "Matters of Faith" has sections that fit this thread, and I think it belongs in "Doctrinal" more than anywhere else.

That's it.

Actually, NEITHER. But you had the right idea. Remember who said it and you'll have the correct movie. (You were closer with TDKR than TDK for a specific reason.)
