"Curse of the Jade Scorpion"???

"GOOD LOVIN'." (I think it was by the Rascals.)

As of the start of "Wednesday," both Wednesday and Pugsley are high school age, but Pugsley is younger than Wednesday. There's some differences in interpretation, too. I tend to lean towards Addams' as being unusually tough physically, and easily athletic when they want to be. (Gomez fenced in the original show and in the movie, in the original show he stood on his head and other things, Pugsley and Wednesday seemed unable to damage each other in the movies, etc.) In the new show, it's possible to bully Pugsley because he's not that durable. Also, there's differences of opinion on how Gomez is supposed to look. I'm used to the Gomez from the aforementioned sources- an athlete, a swordsman, an acrobat, a gymnast. A strict hewing to the original illustrations suggests he's a lot chubbier than that, and some cartoons held with that. The new show has Luis Guzman as Gomez. I don't mind that at all, but I mind the chubbier Gomez they went with. I understand that's an artistic decision, and I simply disagree. I expect there's a lot about the show that would surprise me. I'm used to the family being eerie and creepy, but social- in their own way, not in the usual manner. I'm also used to them being potentially dangerous- when they want to be, which is very different from menacing people openly or brandishing weapons. The series may go along with me on that, but they felt the need to drive the beginning with Wednesday changing schools- which was triggered by Wednesday taking revenge for Pugsley being bullied in an old-school manner. (I would have written the need for revenge differently, but I also get that some people would have disagreed with my ideas.) I know they don't feel the need to copy anything that came before, but take inspiration from it. To a point, I agree with that heartily. We may agree on a great deal of interpretation, and disagree on a number of points. Ultimately, who cares?

The answers are correct. In the US, Wendy's has run promos specifically with the show "Wednesday." Check out their "Meal of Misfortune", a promo that suffers from offering a bad idea as a promotional.

What is this, the wrong day of the week for answers or something? Come on, this one is a snap!

That's it.

"Well, yes, ma'am, I do... I mean, I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. I figure life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. You don't know what hand you're gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you... to make each day count." "I'm king of the world!"

This show is not a current show. HOWEVER, a current show can be considered either a sequel or a spin-off of this show. If you're paying attention, there's at least one continuity error if you do, since two characters, in effect, switch ages, the older becoming the younger. The current show has had more than one season, and has had fast-food promos and tie-ins with it from one chain. The original show may be well-known, but it is NOT a recent show by any reasonable standard for "recent". The original show is famous. It has had at least two cartoon series', another live-action series, more than one theatrical release-and a Broadway musical. (Plus at least one TV movie.) It has never been published as a DC or Marvel comic book. It briefly appeared under Gold Key, but few people, if any, would remember that. As for animation, in addition to its own series, it's appeared briefly in a Scooby Doo mystery (when they had guest stars of every type), and a famous cartoon had a series of expies of the show's cast. (That is, they were characters who were not close enough to invoke copyright infringement, but they were close enough that everyone immediately knew on whom they were based.) Which show is the original show? (Or, which show is the current show, I will accept either answer.)

It's greenlit for another season. It is airing, but not on commercial TV.

"i was isolated and homeschooled through elementary school one of my first memories was pushing my bike in my neighborhood thinking about whether i was possessed or born of the wrong seed. and thinking about how important it was and how i think about it all the time." [lcm was obsessed with the subject, eventually. I'm not sure which subject was more his biggest concern- "the wrong seed", or homosexuality. Either way, once he got on a roll, you were in for a long diatribe, with lots of angry yelling, bad language, and not much sense (neither scientific nor Biblical.) ] "i also remember sitting on the floor at the mandatory monthly phone hookup. and craig martindale had been going for so long. his teaching was vile hate speech and spiritual warfare against the "homosexual onslaught" and i looked at the clock. and i knew teachings were supposed to be 45 minutes. but it had been longer. and i couldn't get up because all the adults were watching and where would i go." [Yeah, lcm had a lot of leeway. If he wanted to run long, everyone let him, even if anyone else would be in trouble for doing it. He was allowed a double standard. If the subject was "the wrong seed" or homosexuality, you were in for a long ride.] "i told a friend that homosexuality was wrong. he asked what that means? and i said i don't know. his mom didn't let him hang out with me anymore." [Yeah, lcm could go on for hours that something was wrong, but never spend even a minute explaining WHY it was wrong or what was wrong with it. (It's not like he knew, after all.) Any competent Bible teacher can at least provide some reasoning. It may be wrong, but it at least exists.] "it's a bit sad though but we didn't stay in twi proper for too many more years. but that group. in the craig era (the great apostle had died before i could remember). i can't think of anything good i got out of it." [80% of twi present took off in 1988-1989, when lcm demanded an oath of loyalty from the staffers, the corps, and so on. One person who knew him contacted him and said it sounded like lcm wanted people to follow him BLINDLY. lcm replied point-blank that it was what they were already doing. He was incorrect. The other guy invited lcm to kiss something, and hung up the phone. Anyone who refused to sweat an oath to follow lcm was kicked out and their reputations smeared. lcm made a blanket accusation about them serving their base appetites rather than serving Christ. It backfired. Local people everywhere knew the leaders who left. They knew a little about lcm, but they knew he was talking nonsense. 4 out of 5 twi'ers at the time left with their local leaders. This led to all the splinter groups. Meanwhile, lcm now had a group more willing to follow him off a cliff than he had before, even if it was a much smaller group. lcm got a LOT crazier. Eventually, the group began to hemorrhage members again as individuals got sick and tired of being sick and tired or miserable all the time, and jumped ship. That doesn't count all the people lcm kicked out whenever he had any doubts about them. I doubt there was much good in the lcm era at all. "The great apostle"? Oh, yeah. The plagiarizing rapist. Yeah, he died in 1985. He was an alcoholic and a chain smoker. He died of cancer. According to him, he got the cancer from the bright stage lights used when filming pfal over a 2-week period. In case you don't know, bright studio lights do not cause cancer and are not a risk factor for cancer. Otherwise, you'd hear about performers dying of cancer after spending months working on Broadway, London's West End, Corrientes Avenue, and so on. You hear nothing because it was a lie. The man refused to take responsibility for the consequences of his own actions. He smoked a lot- exposing his lungs and his eyes and skin to carcinogens- for hours a day, every day. He drank a lot- weakening his immune system by drinking lots of alcohol every day, a LOT across a week. He maximized his chances of exposure, whether or not he meant to do so. When he got cancer, he invented a virtuous reason he got it- he got it from the bright lights filming pfal (which is impossible, since people exposed to brighter lights for longer periods do not get cancer.) He went around saying he gave up his eye for God, which is a lie from the pit of vpw's ego. He could be considered "an apostle" because he redefined what it meant to be an apostle until it could be applied to him, then hinted around until some people started to say that about him. He put forth he was "great" for decades. In reality, he was excellent at promoting himself, and was moderately good at plagiarizing. At everything else, he seemed to have been purely mediocre despite his own claims. If anyone should get credit, it should be the teachers he shamelessly ripped off.]

"Hi." [WordWolf: Good evening.] "I was raised in twi." [Ouch! During lcm's reign of terror, yet! After the 1988-1989 exodus, he only got crazier! And we were done with him BEFORE that!] "Did splinter groups." [A lot of us did. I think of the splinter groups as "airlocks." Although more than a few people stayed with them- or are with them now- more people went from them to the rest of society, whether other churches or out of churches.] "An atheist for a lot of years- no faith left." [Well, I think that's understandable. twi can chase people away from Christianity, especially during the lcm years. I'm not an atheist, so I don't think that was the way to go. Then again, what does my opinion matter? If that's where you are in your life, that's where you are. We're both welcome to post here, independently of that, and I appreciate it.] "I'm neurodivergent." [I sometimes question how many of us are undiagnosed, but would show up as neurodivergent if tested. But most people don't have any kind of testing for that sort of thing. I could make an argument that I should be tested. Then again, it wouldn't really change my life even if I had another label. I'm odd for one reason or another, and which reasons don't really matter. But I don't consider neurodivergency to necessarily be a bad thing. Depending on the context, I think it can be a strength. Then again, what does my opinion matter?] "i found this site helpful early on definitely but didn't post." [Sometimes we hear that most of the people who read here never post. We're glad to be helpful either way.] "year later now. looking forward to getting to know folks." [Well, if you're ready to post now, then welcome! Nice to have you aboard. Please mind your manners and avail yourself of the amenities. (Enjoy what we have to offer.)]

This one has had airplay during my lifetime! IIRC, this is "Lay Lady Lay" and was by Bob Dylan.

Um, any chance this is "Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex But Were Afraid To Ask"???

My most immediate concern is the outsourcing of one's thinking- to AI, or to mindlessly swallowing and regurgitating everything from a single source, whether online or offline. The idea of opening a "discussion" -on a subject where I'm concerned people aren't doing their own thinking and discussing- with a link for a video to watch strikes me as...well, a little ironic. In another context, I'd complain about someone who insisted he was right- and "explained himself" by posting a link and essentially assigning homework for anyone who wanted to know why they should take him seriously. (No, not now, but it's happened before on the GSC.) I remember "discussions" and I'm a little surprised that we've gotten a number of "discussions" where the "discussion" started with "read this book" or "watch this video" and not actually DISCUSSING anything. I'm a little dismayed that people think this is perfectly fine.

*checks* He's considered the patron saint of EXORCISTS and possessed people. The only written prayer I saw to be directed at him that was related to this was one to keep evil and evil people away from one's self, and was not specifically about possession or demons or devils or anything supernatural. The sensible conclusion to draw, if one believes in patron saints, is that he's to be the one to direct prayers to if you are ministering to a possessed person and/or are performing an exorcism on a possessed person. He's known for living a holy and virtuous life, and that seems to be the connection. That is, if you need to free someone from possession, you need lots of Holy to free them, thus someone like St. Bruno.

Well, if one is a Roman Catholic, that's the way to go. For basically all other Christians, that's the wrong way to enact one's prayer life. (Also, perhaps St. Bruno is to be prayed to if SOMEONE ELSE is possessed. It's probably hard to pray if you're possessed and in an episode.)

I can go back to your last 15 posts. 3 were completely AI cut-and-paste. An equal number were one-sentence posts. One was a cut-and-paste from another source, and one was a request for an AI cut-and-paste. That may not sound like much, but it means 1/3 of your posts were entirely cut-and-paste, and 1/5 total were one-sentence posts. That's a lot of your content, and it's the most I've ever seen of anyone. I'm concerned about the quality of the posting when that happens. Even the AI thinks it's a bad idea. I'm MORE concerned about what's going on with you, though. Please give this a good, long think. Thanks.
