  1. OK, let's have a little fun and look at the content. Here's the unedited letter. ---------------------------------------------- "Dearest Saints, God bless you abundantly. What we commonly recognize as the first Rock of Ages emerged into full fruition in August of 1971, although with quite humble beginnings. The main stage consisted of two flatbed trailers. This stage was situated in an unpretentious spot under a willow tree near the creek that flows through the grounds of The Way International Headquarters. The nonconventional decorations on the stage paired well with the numerous musical groups of differing skill levels. Things weren't perfect. One night during the event the power even went out, affecting the lighting and sound. But that summer at this "Christian music festival,"things occurred of gigantic spiritual proportions. About a thousand people attended. Young people from all over the country gathered to hear the bands play and to fellowship with each other. But they were there for another reason also. They wanted to hear the rightly divided Word of God and see it live bigger in their lives. In addition to the energized teachings, the first call was made for Word Over the World (WOW) Ambassadors. WOW Ambassadors would be sent all over the United States to preach and teach God's Word. About one-quarter of the participants went out as WOW Ambassadors that year in three waves. It is clear that many who attended "ROA '71" had their lives wonderfully changed forever. Over the next twenty-four years, the Rock of Ages became an annual event. It changed as the needs of the ministry changed. It naturally adapted into a gathering for the whole family- with good fun, good food, and good fellowship, but still centered around the Word of God. For several years the event was held at local fairgrounds equipped to accommodate the growing interest, but in 1978 it came back to the grounds of The Way International. For the next number of years it grew in various capacities. Then in 1995 it was discontinued. We now have the magnificent joy and privilege to once again host the Rock of Ages at The Way International. It will be a beautiful blend of the old and the new. It will have elements of nostalgia, but with a modern flair carefully intertwined. It will give believers some relaxing days that are full of sweet fellowship, rich with the love of God, and lavish with God's rightly divided Word. It will be an inspiring time of seeing Way Ambassadors commissioned and Ambassadors once again sent forth from the Rock. Yes, ROA '25 is for those who love God, of all generations and at all levels of spiritual maturity. And it will reflect this heart expressed by our Founder, Victor Paul Wierwille, in 1983: " It is wonderful to be home again for the fellowship of believers where the family [of God] is the center of joyful living." Make your plans now and diligently prepare so that nothing hinders your participation in this splendid occasion. Believe big to overcome any obstacle. There may be many life-changing events in a person's short time here on earth, but this will be among the greatest of them all. It will be the Rock of all Rocks. So...SEE YOU AT THE ROCK! In our Father's love, Vernon W. Edwards President
  2. As I went home on Monday night as drunk as drunk could be I saw a horse outside the door where my old horse should be. Well, I called me wife and I said to her, "Will you kindly tell to me Who owns that horse outside the door where my old horse should be?" "Ah, you're drunk! You're drunk, you silly old fool! Still you can not see That's a lovely sow that me mother sent to me." Well, it's many a day I've traveled—a hundred miles or more, But a saddle on a sow, sure, I never saw before." "As I went home on Tuesday night, as drunk as drunk could be. I saw a coat behind the door where my old coat should be. I called my wife and I said to her: "Will you kindly tell to me, Who owns that coat behind the door, where my old coat should be?" "Oh, you're drunk, you're drunk, you silly old fool! Still you cannot see That's a woolen blanket that my mother sent to me." "Well, it's many a day I've traveled- a hundred miles or more, But buttons on a blanket, sure, I never saw before." And, as I went home on Wednesday night as drunk as drunk could be I saw a pipe up on the chair where my old pipe should be Well, I called me wife and I said to her, "Will you kindly tell to me Who owns that pipe upon the chair where my old pipe should be?" "Ah, you're drunk! You're drunk, you silly old fool! Still you can not see That's a lovely tin whistle that me mother sent to me." "Well, it's many a day I've traveled—a hundred miles or more But tobacco in a tin whistle, sure, I never saw before."
  3. The Avengers, or Marvels Avengers Assemble, depending on your home country (the UK gave it the latter title to keep people from looking for Steed and Peel all through the film.)
  4. Nardo was a driver who worked in a museum, not the dispatcher.

  6. It IS "Casablanca." Since you included it in your post, I'm accepting it because I feel like it. The early Rat Pack hung out at Humphrey Bogart's place, which meant Bogey was in the 1.0 version. Most people don't know that. These were all well-known lines from "Casablanca." Your turn.
  7. Ok, I'm not sure anyone here knows this song, but they might, and if you don't know it, you might be entertained to learn of it.

  8. Star Wars Episode I- the Phantom Menace Frank Oz Trading Places
  9. But this here is a famous line, if not the most famous line from this movie. "Not so fast, Louie." The line is NOT "Drop the gun, Louie." That line does not appear in this movie. ----------------------------- "We'll always have Paris." "Major Strasser has been shot. .................Round up the usual suspects."
  10. The film is very famous. It's not any kind of gangster film. If you know how the Rat Pack got started (most people don't), you'd have no trouble remembering the main actor. This movie, however, does not contain a ham sandwich, as far as I can remember.
  11. A Knight's Tale Paul Bettany Avengers 2-Age of Ultron
  12. Is "BAKER STREET" really by a Scottish artist?
  13. Jose & the Pussycats Rosario Dawson Men in Black 2
  14. "I used to think that it was so easy...." *snaps fingers* I have the title, I think, but I'm stuck for an artist.
  15. I can hear the melody, but I need the rest, obviously. I can't hum the song and have that count.
  16. *thinks* It's possible she says that when he grabs the rifle, shotgun, whatever. But I'm looking for the classic movie that is actually remembered for this line (and a few other really famous lines.) I've seen a number of spoofs of this line down the years, people referencing it (and getting the line wrong, since it's often remembered wrongly.)
  17. Trying to think of the next movie.
  18. But this here is a famous line, if not the most famous line from this movie. "Not so fast, Louie." The line is NOT "Drop the gun, Louie." That line does not appear in this movie.
  19. It is unquestionably MPFC's most famous movie. I was on an MPFC forum and we couldn't get people to stop making references to this movie, as opposed to the show or the other movies.
  20. I wanted Human to get it since he tried so hard and got so close. What is my name? WordWolf. What is my quest? To find the Holy Grail. What is the capital of Assyria? Well, it was Nineveh, but there's no Assyria now and no Nineveh, so right now there's none. MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL. (Why not visit Norway on holiday?)
  21. Copy/paste? I must type a LOT faster than you. I just retyped it.
  22. Yes- in " Ghostbusters", "Lost in Translation", and " What About Bob?" Your turn.
  23. It was used in both. In " Young Sheldon", we saw that " Bazinga" was the brand name of a novelty company, selling things like whoopie cushions and so on. The slogan said something like " It it's funny, it's a Bazinga!" After that, we saw Sheldon playing tiny practical jokes (prank phone calls and so on), and saying "Bazinga!" at the end. So, that's where that word originates in that setting.
  24. That was a text-filled image. Here's what it says. "Dearest Saints, God bless you abundantly.

  25. Next one. "Back off, man, I'm a scientist." "For relaxing times, make it Suntory time." "I'm sailing!"
