Do they call you " THE WANDERER" ? -
The father's deaf, but can read lips and sign language. The slang is British or some dialect (Australian, New Zealander). The daughter's boyfriend (or equivalent) just celebrated a birthday, and Dad got him a cake, or made him a cake. Ok, I'm going to discard all that and take a wild guess instead. Is this "SILENCE OF THE HAMS"???

So, let's see..... lcm declared there was a new Advanced Class, and now your previous Advanced Class was voided, so now you had to pay AGAIN to take the NEW Advanced Class and find out how deficient lcm was when he made it. Then you had to pay for "Advanced Class Specials", which covered the SAME material but charged you AGAIN for them? twi is indeed a shameless money machine, with all the students as cash cows.

Looking for the name of a Way movie
WordWolf replied to Jonathan Schwartz's question in Ask the Greasespot Cafe
Did you just want the name, or did you have another question(s) about it? -
"You know what you look like to me, with your good bag and your cheap shoes? You look like a rube. A well scrubbed, hustling rube with a little taste. Good nutrition's given you some length of bone, but you're not more than one generation from poor white trash, are you? And that accent you've tried so desperately to shed; pure West Virginia."

Ok, I've been having intermittent problems with the GSC not saving posts. I click on the button, it says "saving" and hangs forever on that step. Sometimes, an hour later or something, I try a fresh reply- with the previous content saved in the GSC window and reposted in the new post- and it works instantly. Sometimes it works immediately, sometimes a few hours make no difference at all. Are there hours where the the board is less likely to save? Are there browsers that suddenly don't work well with the new software? What's up?

Is this one of those horrid "Twilight" movies? (And will this post finally save?)

This has nothing to do with any Monty Python actors.

Hey, George, Raf seems to have figured something out. He's posting like he's on the right track. If you're still trolling for clues, you might go over his post with a very fine and very wide net.

He called you out for being condescending. HE wasn't the one being mean or arrogant. Since there's something you can admit you don't understand, you can TRY to phrase a question-without an accompanying insult- to one of several posters here who actually can explain. Instead, you drew a conclusion. You also engaged in the "no true Irishman" logical fallacy. If you're interested in learning, you can ask questions. If it's a matter of being offended by being around people with whom you disagree, well, then we know why you stopped coming around here. BTW, nobody is even asking you to change your opinion to make it less offensive. When you post, however, you should make an effort not to be so transparently offensive. No, you didn't MEAN to be offensive- but you were, nonetheless- and that's coming from someone whose worldview may not look that different from yours.

Good points. A) vpw was put forth- by himself and others- as some sort of super-believer. lcm was convinced he was some sort of super-believer once he was twi president. It would be obvious who needs to set the good example and super-believe to blow the rain out of the area for the next few days. Done from the main stage, it would have allowed them to be fully theatrical AND settle the issue of just HOW bad@$$ they were- as much as they claimed to be, if they could alter weather patterns on command and in a minute. Yet, they never tried. That vpw CLAIMED he could do such things but he never TRIED to do something like that from the main stage just shows that vpw was secretly well aware just how POWERLESS he was in comparison to his claims. I once walked some kids home in Summer, Once I got them to their block (a partially-protected block), I agreed they were safe enough to walk the last few steps by themselves (they were young teenagers walking less than a block.) I asked them to promise that- as soon as they got home- they would stop and pray for the coming rain to hold off until I got home. They agreed. I saw them off, and marched home with all reasonable speed, hoping to get home before the rain because I didn't pack an umbrella. As it turned out, they did exactly as requested, calling their family to the door so they could pray together immediately. Me, I prayed, marched, and just focused on making the best time. There was occasional thunder, and once a few drops began to fall, then stopped. I might say that the charged air even felt a bit frustrated- but that could easily be argued to be an active imagination. When I got home, I got as far as the elevator before the thunderstorm dropped, so I missed the sound of it starting. I did, however, get inside my building seconds before the storm hit. Naturally, one might consider this a fascinating coincidence, or think I'm exaggerating, or that I'm outright lying. (I insist I'm neither exaggerating nor lying.) Nobody made a big deal out of this at the time, but I respected those teens BEFORE this, and if anything, respected them more AFTER this. So, a couple of teenagers were cool with praying to delay some weather for 20 minutes. For one super-believer, it should have been a piece of cake to MOVE some weather with a single prayer. B) Yes, there's mundane solutions- which were NEVER put into actions. They knew where the tents were going to be. They knew where the rain runoffs happened. They knew where the relief was going to be needed (same spots as the last several years...) Why not make preparations during Corps Week- either something temporary for the next few weeks, or install something useful that could be maintained lightly each year? It would have been good for the people who showed up, and made for happier attendees. They had the people, they had the resources. The remaining reason they didn't do it was that they didn't CARE that anyone's tent was at risk of flooding every single year. If they were seen as PEOPLE and not as RESOURCES, this would have been very different. From the main stage, vpw would often talk about how much he loved the people who attended. But his love ended there- because after that, he elected never to TAKE ACTION to DEMONSTRATE that love- which means, of course, it was ALL TALK. Little of this should surprise anyone, any more.

"Real Bible scholars focus on trying to properly understand the Scriptures through the context, biblical languages, cultural context , historical context, the systematic study of the texts, and plain logic – it really is a discipline, a science and an art – if any intuition is involved it's in gaining a feel for the significance to ascribe to certain data and where more attention would prove to be most beneficial. " It's been said- by Psychologists studying such things- that real "intuition" is the subconscious ability to correctly recognize patterns before they're evident to the conscious. So, actual study in a subject works WITH "intuition", not against it. The more you know and understand a subject's patterns, the more intuition can help bridge the gaps and point out where there are CONNECTIONS that may not have been evident. That actually goes hand-in-hand with "genius"- which has been described (at least some of the time) as an ability to see actual connections between objects that are not related. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| There is obviously a difference between "I can see a connection between the bus being late this morning and the secret messages in the commercials while I ate my breakfast" (not ACTUAL connections) and genius because genius sees connections that ARE and dismisses those that are not, or at least is skeptical of them. Humans normally try to find patterns in their everyday existence, but that doesn't MEAN that, say, the clouds actually have the shape of the thing you see in them. Similarly, just imagining what you saw was an actual pattern isn't the same as seeing a legitimate correlation between things. Yes, it's next-to-impossible to find a taxi on Halloween or New Years Eve. However, that's not because The Revolution Has Arrived, it means those evenings ALWAYS strain the taxi delivery system all over the USA. Within 12 hours, the wait times return to normal. Anybody who doesn't understand Occam's Razor has no business trying to figure out what's a coincidence and what's significant.
