  1. "Too many teardrops For one heart to be cryin' Too many teardrops For one heart to carry on You're way on top now Since you left me You're always laughin' Way down at me But watch out now I'm gonna get there We'll be together For just a little while And then I'm gonna put you Way down here And you'll start cryin'"
  2. Some of these might be remembered individually- the Smithsonian Guard who realizes Captain America's costume is missing, the FedEx Driver looking for "Tony Stank", the Milwaukee Man who drank from a bottle and dropped dead due to gamma ray exposure, but individually, none may ring a bell. Except for a case like this one where you're LOOKING for Waldo in the background, none of these should count as a role for this thread. THAT was a clue by itself. An informant for The Watcher? A ladies' man on XANDAR? Someone's got cameo roles in Marvel movies. Generalissimo Lee and Senator Lieber are slips of the name- Stan Lee, born Stanley Lieber. I'd have gotten it off of the top line. Willie Lumpkin appeared in one movie. Tony Stark identified Stan as Larry King and incorrectly(?) as Hugh Hefner in Iron Man 1 and Iron Man 2 (IIRC, in reverse order, as Larry at the beginning of IM2 (on the way to the car, just before getting served the Congressional subpoena) and Hef at the charity ball in the middle of IM1 (on his way into the building.) GEORGE'S TURN!
  3. Ok, different song, but same artist. (AFAIK, the original artist for both songs, although they've both been covered since then.) "Too many teardrops for one heart to be crying . Too many teardrops for one heart to carry on. You're way on top now since you left me. You're always laughing way down at me. But watch out now, I'm gonna get there. We'll be together for just a little while. And then I'm gonna put you way down there."[/b]
  4. Willie Lumpkin was the mailman for the Fantastic Four. Any thoughts about who might play "Generalissimo Lee" or "Senator Lieber" ?
  5. "Whenever we kiss I get to feeling like this. I get to wishing that there was two of you. My heart cries out 'Woo, baby'. It feels so nice. I want your arms to wrap around me twice." "Right or Wrong Baby Right or Wrong When you had to go I hated the thought I always wish the night was twice as long My heart cries out more baby I love you so much I wish that there was more of you to touch." "Whenever we kiss I get a feeling like this. I get to wishing that there was two of you. My heart cries out, 'More, baby!' I love you so much. I wish that there was more of you to touch!" This song charted with the original artists. Decades later, it charted with a cover that was on a teen movie soundtrack.
  6. "Probably?" a recognizable face? For you, a VERY recognizable face, with a VERY recognizable voice. (AFAIK.)
  7. Ok. Name the guy who played these roles.... Willie Lumpkin Larry King "Hugh Hefner" Hot Dog Vendor Old Man at Crossing Security Guard Man Dodging Debris Waterhose Man Man in Times Square School Librarian Smithsonian Guard Bartender Strip Club DJ Jury Foreman Man in Fair Bus Driver Generalissimo Lee Debonair Gentleman Xandarian Ladies' Man FedEx Driver Bus Passenger Barber Milwaukee Man Drinking From Bottle Thirsty Gambler Rejected Wedding Guest Senator Lieber Pageant Judge Shrink-Car Owner Dapper Dog-Walker Barber Watcher Informant Gary Man Leaving Tex's Lounge (How many people have played WILLIE LUMPKIN?)
  8. On the off-chance that everyone didn't chime in with the answer in harmony, I had to save something for the next post.
  9. George, that first line should be more than enough to give you his name, and the rest should make you confident you have the right guy.

  12. "Seedless" grapes have SEEDS! They are small and don't have the harder shell. The plant's been selectively bred to have SOFTER seeds. With no outer husk, the seeds are SMALLER as well as softer. Although they have seeds those seeds are not expected to work to grow fruit, so they're grown from a CUTTING of an existing plant. Plants are different from animals in many ways. Among those is that you can cut some parts off a plant, and the plant will heal, and grow another plant from the cutting. Multicellular animals aren't built that way. (BTW, "seedless" watermelons ARE grown from seeds.) If he's really spent his life farming, you think he'd know that "seedless" grapes are misnamed. (They also occur in nature and do not require a devil to be involved. They are, however, a mutation that doesn't benefit the plant.) "Seedless" fruit occurs in nature, but they usually die out because their seeds don't produce more fruit trees/plants. However, humans can exploit that and continue their existence on purpose. Why would they do that? (To hear this guy say it, a devil made them do it.) 1) The spot where the big seeds would be is now occupied by fruit. 2) The resulting plants are effectively identical- which means the farmers know what to expect of them.
  13. "Whenever we kiss I get a feeling like this". I get to wishing that there was two of you. My heart cries out, 'More, baby!' I love you so much. I wish that there was more of you to touch!
  14. YES, it is "Oliver!" Oliver himself was holding up his bowl and asking for more gruel. That's probably the most famous moment in the movie. (For those who don't know, the kids picked ONE of their number to ask for more...then let him get into trouble for asking.) "Please, sir, I'd like some more."
  15. Seriously? About how many minutes in did he say it?
  16. Page after page of nothing but that sentence, formatted all sorts of ways, all typed out by hand. It was one of the many creepy things about "THE SHINING." Jack Torrance typed all of that. There was real typing, too. Kubrick used the actual typing sound for that sentence, as Jack (Nicholson) typed over and over on the set. In other languages, Kubrick used a recording of the saying they used from that language. (Foreign versions didn't all use this phrase- they used a phrase well-known to them.)
  17. "Whenever we kiss I get a feeling like this. I get to wishing that there was two of you. My heart cries out 'More, baby' "
  18. To hear Mark Sanguinetti tell it, vpw HIMSELF called himself that to Mark. However, he appeared to have been joking at the time.
  19. One last digression. Waydale had this, and the GSC Editorials had this. "Onion Free Zone." Here it is again. " The Way's Onion Free Zone (This article first appeared on WayDale's Discussion Forums) Craig Martindale does not like the smell of onions. THEREFORE, the TWI Food Services Department NEVER prepares food with onions as part of the recipe. NEVER. What's the big deal you may ask? Well, why not ask a staffer who has lived in an onion free zone for 10 years how he or she feels about it. Don't you guys know how good onions taste??? Imagine having almost EVERY meal that you eat in an average month, cooked for you and served to you by TWI FOOD SERVICES. Now, further imagine that you will NEVER have onions be a part of that meal. Are you getting nervous yet? :-) A few years ago I asked the Food Services Dept. coordinator about this *Onion Free Zone* that surrounds HQ. He told me that as *Rev.* Martindale doesn't like the smell of onions, Food Services chooses not to prepare meals with onions in the recipes. Food Services was to do everything in its power to encourage *Rev.* Martindale to attend meals and nothing to discourage him. It seems that if *Rev.* Martindale attends a lunch time meal, he will likely share the *word* with everyone. But he won't attend the meal if he can smell onions! [Anyone who knows Martindale also know how sensitive he claims his sense of smell to be. Onions take him over the edge apparently. At the Advanced Class Special in Dallas in the 1998/1999 year, Martindale was moved through the hotel via the *staff only* corridors. This way he didn't have to stop to greet people at every turn. Martindale claimed that it was so as not to cause a big commotion/distraction with the believers whenever he (LCM) moved about. Way Corps made sure that these corridors had incense burning whenever Martindale was due to come through, in order to cover up the smells of cooking that would distract and upset LCM due to his *hyper-sensitive* sense of smell] Martindale only attends the HQ noon time meal, Mondays through Fridays. His other meals are prepared for him privately by his own in-home staff, and yet, despite this, TWI Food Services Department NEVER cook with onions for the other meals. Why? you ask - Because. That's why! Of course there's nothing to stop a staffer from sneaking an onion in the *privacy* of his or her Founder's Hall cell bedroom. Can you imagine expecting more than 500 people to forego a basic food prep. item such as onions in order to *bless the man of God*?? Seems to me that LCM would rather inconvenience and deprive 500 people as opposed to inconveniencing himself a little. Isn't this all backwards for a *servant* of men? The *Onion Issue* is another of the TWI staffer's many sensitive issues that they try to look stoically at. After all, if the staff can help MOGFOT (Man of God for Our Time) stay blessed, won't that help in God's work?"
  20. Watered Garden: "Mr. Garden and I arrived early to enroll our son in school and were volunteers in the canning room for a couple of weeks. Unfortunately we knew more about safe food preparation and canning than the staff zeeatch in charge, so there were a few conflicts. Also, when we made salsa, we were strictly forbidden to include onions, as LCM hated onions. Nor were we allowed to put garlic in the salsa, because he also abhorred garlic! What the heck, does he just want tomato sauce? I suggested we make him a personal batch and label it "El Presidente Especial Blend" but OHHELLNO! If that was the president's preference we needed to renew our minds to his godly thoughts on salsa recipes! In spite of the largesse of foods and veggies, we ate meagerly. Most of the good stuff went to NK for pleasurable consumption by the MOG and his minions. Sad." Watered Garden: "I think I saw the height of this stupidity when I was in Family WC at Rome City. We were volunteered to help process tomatoes. This was actually before the official start of the program, but we were there, the tomatoes were there, and we knew what we were doing, actually much better than the person in charge. Comes time to make salsa. We didn't actually make the salsa but had to watch it cook. The salsa had no garlic and no onion. I politely pointed out what I saw as a glaring oversight, and was promptly informed that Official TWI Salsa NEVER NEVER NEVER contained garlic or onions! Perish the thought! Was I possessed? Did I not realize that THE MAN OF GOD FOR OUR DAY AND TIME AND HOUR absolutely hated garlic and onions? I then suggested we could make him his own little stash of garlic and onion free salsa, which we could also call tomato sauce, and make normal salsa for everyone else. The supervisor was equally aghast! NO NO NO NO NO! If the MOG hates onions and garlic, then the entire WC must avoid them like the plague. This left me with two thoughts: 1) The MOG has NO right to impose his personal preferences on the entire world. 2) This is not gonna be the best time of my life." Unrelated, but useful if making tomato sauce.... "A word abouttomato sauce : Don't cook it over high heat for hours - it brings out the acidity of the tomatoes. Lots of folks think its necessary to add sugar totomato sauce - that's because they are trying to mask this acidity. If you just simmer the sauce for no more than 2 hours it will be fine." -doojable Chef Robert Irvine (who does not post here) recommends adding carrots rather than sugar for balancing the flavors when cooking. Carrots contain glucose naturally,
  21. BTW, blame lcm for your meals lacking onions and garlic. Since he disliked either, he made a federal case any time anyone cooked with it. So, all of you were deprived of it, even if it was for dinner and he wasn't eating with the rest of you.
