"I got into an argument with my father the other day. I argued that Plato was the Father of Philosophy. My father took the contrary position that I should wax the kitchen floor. I said, 'Well, the kitchen floor doesn't exist- at least not in the permanent sense like the CONCEPT "floor" does.' He replied, ' Does the concept "your skull" exist?' Then he surprised me by juxtaposing the two concepts." - Emo Phillips. In early Genesis, we see Jubal and Tubal-cain referred to in that sense of being the father of musicians, and blacksmiths and blacksmithing, respectively. Didn't suggest all musicians were genetic descendants of Jubal or all blacksmiths were genetic descendants of Tubal-cain. (Moreso than anyone else at that point, at least.)

(For the curious, LE and DT were both also on "The Devil's Rejects" so I could have linked to him through there. Trejo's been in a LOT of stuff, but I thought I'd toss a softball in here, so I linked out with a known movie with lots of known actors.)

Ok, she was the pistol-packing blonde in the Police Academy movies that got along great with Tackleberry. However, she was also in Halloween Danny Trejo Anchorman-Legend of Ron Burgundy

Ok, next one, presuming this post saves. Name the actor. Ezra Braithwaite Anton Valine Abe Kemper Nathan Perlmutter Jake Corelli Lyle DeFranco

That's because JALvis never thought about what he was doing and why he was doing it. He was just plodding along, trying to redo the same things he did decades ago with young innies, when he was facing mature ex-twiers. Few people were foolish enough to go along just on his say-so, and had many concerns the kids didn't HAVE decades ago. Since it was about what HE wanted, he just blew all that off, and approached us all like a used-car salesman. To this day, he STILL doesn't get it!

That's it. I was a little surprised it took a second line, but that's how it goes sometimes.

Nick Rivers and Chris Knight are my favorite roles FOR this actor, especially Chris Knight. If this post will save this time, my answer will be VAL KILMER.

Next song, if this will save tonight.... "It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside. I'm not one of those who can easily hide. I don't have much money, but boy if I did, I'd buy a big house where we both could live."

It gets worse when you see the twisting involved to try to make this nonsense apply after that. In Genesis 3, Man has sinned and lost spirit. God communicates with him without any problems, making a voice (the first mention of the word "voice" in Genesis, the first time an audible sound is actually needed.) God can communicate any way He wants to -He is God. Makes the Universe, organizes the stars, fine-tunes details for the Earth, the biosphere, the plants, the animals, the humans. Communicate with something that isn't spirit? Sorry, too difficult! What is this nonsense? Anyway, then we get nonsense like Balaam's donkey had to have spirit upon him. Why can't God ALMIGHTY use a bit of that ALL MIGHT and make a miracle where a donkey briefly can talk and reason as a donkey? We also get the incident of "the writing on the wall". The Babylonian smart people couldn't make sense of it. So, according to vpw, it was "written in spirit" (WHAT? SINCE WHEN? ONLY HAPPENS HERE IN ALL OF SCRIPTURE) which is why they couldn't understand the writing. Couldn't possibly have another explanation, something more simple. FF Bruce had already explained that decades before. Somebody (like vpw) who was poor with languages couldn't even imagine it was a mundane TRANSLATION problem. The writing, if read in ONE language, was "weighed, numbered, divided"- and the specifics of what was weighed, numbered and divided was not provided- there you needed revelation. Read in Babylonian, and the writing- missing vowels like it did made it easy to mistake ONE language for the OTHER- and it read something like "a dollar, a quarter and change" (I'm paraphrasing, but it would have been a money denomination, a smaller one, and something like spare change.) Not terribly hard to understand the confusion when trying to make sense of something when reading it in the wrong language. Anybody who wants to discuss incidents of confusing language should probably start a new thread in Humor, or possibly Open. So, having to distort all sorts of incidents to try to make this silly explanation work is far too much work, and it's unproductive work because it makes one MORE confused, not less.

"Cosmic Thing"s 2 big hits got a LOT of airtime when that album came out. (3 hits? "Roam", "Love Shack", "Deadbeat Club" is 3 hits if that's all 1 album.)

If George drops a hint, I might think of something, and hopefully I can post after midnight my time this morning.

I grew up knowing a Linda, and Julieta is actually not uncommon in Argentina.

Doesn't ring a bell for me.

"Try, try, try to separate them, it's an illusion. Try and you will only come, to this conclusion." (Was unable to save this last night, sorry)

Anyone notice that "The Great Principle" was based on something that CHANGED? "God is Spirit, and God can only give what He is- which is Spirit." "God is Spirit, and God can only communicate with Spirit." Wherever he plagiarized those from, it's obvious he didn't UNDERSTAND them since they contradict so obviously when he phrases them. "God gave manna. God is NOT manna." So, the first statement is BLATANTLY wrong. If the second is supposedly true because spirit only communicates with spirit, then eventually there is a disconnect. "God, who is Spirit, teaches His creation in you, which is now your spirit, and your spirit teaches your mind. Then it becomes manifested in the senses world as you act." Well, how did my spirit teach my mind? Spirit communicated with not-spirit there. Is my spirit more capable than God Almighty, who IS Spirit?

You forgot Dean Martin was in that movie? He and Sammy Davis Jr were dressed as 2 priests driving a red Ferrari. "Pull over! We want to give you our blessing!" Terry Bradshaw was one of the drivers for the pick-up truck, the one that got re-painted to try to bypass roadblocks, and landed in a pool. The also prepped for the race by packing case after case of beer- and 1 bag of chips for food. Rick Aviles was the one who drove into the HOTEL LOBBY and did the Nixon imitation when asked about it. Also, he jumped the railroad cars and survived because he reached the moving train at a flatbed. "Evel Kneivel, you've got yourself some competition!" "I'm telling you, if the cameras had been there, we would have made CBS Sports Spectacular!" "What-you want to do it again?" He was also conspicuous in the fight with the bikers. "Man, you wouldn't last FIVE MINUTES in a New York Subway!" *smashes biker in shin with block of wood* *smashes back of biker's head, knocking him out* "That's how it's done!"

I had posted the song in the wrong thread. By the time I'd re-posted it and deleted it from the wrong thread, you'd already replied. I left a note about it on the other thread. Meanwhile, I'm all set- I've brought my jukebox money!

That's it. All 3 were drivers for different vehicles.

Since this was the wrong thread, I'd already moved it to the right thread- but you can reply there since I just pasted it there. :)

"Try, try, try to separate them, it's an illusion."

Next song. "Cold late night so long ago when I was not so strong you know, a pretty man came to me, never seen eyes so blue. You know, I could not run away. It seemed we'd seen each other in a dream. It seemed like he knew me. He looked right through me, yeah."

"Logan's Run" derail.... I read the book a long time ago. In the movie, the age limit for people was set at 30, in the book it was set at 21 years old. The idea was that, in the future, the high birth rate (which, really, was addressable directly) meant that the Earth would be completely overrun by people, so each person's age limit was set universally at 21 years old. There were no families. You were born into some sort of structure, and your hand had a device called a "lifeflower" implanted and visible at all times. It had the record of exactly how old you were. From ages 0-7, the "lifeflower" gem was yellow. From ages 7-14, the gem was blue. From 14-21, the gem was red. When you reached within 24 hours of your 21st birthday, the gem began BLINKING- on was red, off was black. You were on Last Day. For Last Day, you tended to get special privileges here and there- anyone could see it was your last day- but you also had 24 hours to report in to some sort of extermination facility. If you failed to report in within 24 hours, your "lifeflower" gem turned black, and an alert went off in the central computer system. Then you were considered a "runner" who had "rejected sleep." Now, the authorities sent their agents to recover you- the DS men, aka "sandmen." Sandmen on duty wore grey uniforms, and people knew to let them pass. They carried revolvers, and each of the 6 chambers had a different specialized bullet loaded (a Sandman could reload, obviously.) There were bullets like Tangler (fired a capture web, useful if you might hit a civilian), Needler, Ripper, Vapor (gas cloud- Sandmen put on nose filters when firing those), Nitro (an explosive) and the dreaded Homer (a heat-seeking bullet, useful in the open, and much feared by the populace "You can't get away from a Homer." ) In this setting, there was an advanced society, and there were a few people lived outside it- like almost-feral gangs of children -"cubs"- who supposedly committed suicide sometime before their Last Day and didn't include any Reds in their number. There were legends that people COULD live much longer, and that supposedly there was a place where they could live out full lives- "Sanctuary." The title character, Logan 5, was a Sandman. Since the last person didn't explain what drives the story, I'll leave that vague as well, to avoid spoilers. You can pm me for as much information as you want.
