  1. To make sure I don't bypass the answer, how about "BUMBLEBEE"?
  2. Howard the Duck Jeffrey Jones Sleepy Hollow
  3. I haven't seen any of the movies, but let's try the first movie called "TRANSFORMERS."
  4. I don't know if it's exclusively American, but it's not just a twi-thing. I once had a copy of "Pocket Quips" (copyright 1984) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11253742-pocket-quips-777-quotables and it said the following on applause during a sermon (approximately if not verbatim): -Applause at the beginning of a sermon is faith. -Applause during the middle of a sermon is hope. -Applause at the end of a sermon is love.
  5. That's him. The name I added was "Frank Barone" , from the TV show "Everybody Loves Raymond." The only name I skipped on purpose was "Frankenstein's Monster", Moe Shrevnitz was the taxi driver in "the Shadow", and "Wizard" was a taxi driver in "Taxi Driver." Edsel was in "Speed Zone" (Cannonball Run 3.) Dr Sebastian Melmouth was from "In God We Tru$t" and so on.

  8. No. I think Martin's characters tend to have more memorable names. In the case of this round, I liked Moe Shrevnitz, and had no recollection the character's name was ever stated in the movie where it appeared.
  9. I remember someone once saying they became a big fan of "General Hospital" after being a big fan of a previous soap opera, so it can't be "General Hospital." Is this "Days of Our Lives"?

    I'm a bit concerned for central Texas because I know people who live there. People everywhere panic and raid the supermarkets at the report of bad weather. That concerns me less nowadays because A) we're comfortable cooking or just microwaving if we need to B) I have some supermarkets and places to buy food within 3 blocks C) My neighbors don't worry about hurricanes because they haven't come this way for quite some time, if ever So, we get heavy storms that leave within 12-24 hours depending on the severity, in the worse-case. As for the rest of you, stay careful out there.

  12. That's it. After Tommy's traumatic incident where he went "deaf, dumb and blind". he gained fame as a pinball wizard, and that led to his becoming a religious leader.
  13. Got it in one. Last time I did a round on Pokemon, this took about a week. I suspect you might be getting better at this.
  14. Ok, next movie. This movie's cast included Ann-Margret, Oliver Reed, and Jack Nicholson. The title character, among other things, becomes a religious leader sometime after becoming both crippled and a public figure.

  16. True. Raf can rejoin us when life permits. Next one. This animated series has been wildly successful, and has been going for something like 20 years- and, AFAIK, is still ongoing. Like a number of successful cartoons down the years, it began as a tie-in to a line of toys. This one even made the jump to theatrical releases!
  17. Yeah, Colonel Mustard and Wadsworth the Butler. You're thinking the movie would have gotten a better rating with some modifications to Yvette's outfit? Well, you're probably right.
  18. I agree, and I Timothy 2:5 really does clash with a lot of traditions as stated and as practiced. That having been said, it's rather shocking how little the current Pope relies on the "kiss my ring" stuff. He was surprised when he got in a line to wait, and people offered to bump him to the front of a line because he's the Pope, and so on. Frankly, I think he's better-qualified the more I see that sort of thing, and no, I don't think he's posturing, I think he really was standing in line and that was it, in his mind. Then again, there's quite a few cardinals and bishops who dislike his manner. Oldies, any chance whatsoever the laity can just have them tossed out and get some more humble leaders? (Sadly, I think the answer is "no.")
  19. The "swearing fealty" thing was my phrasing, not twi's. It's a bit too literate for twi as a whole. Perhaps if D@ve @rneson or someone like him was really a big part of twi, it would have been used (a founder of D&D/AD&D, he would have understood the concept just fine.) In effect, for many twi'ers, they acted as if their allegiance was sworn to twi, and it certainly was promoted that way by vpw and lcm- with "salt covenants" and so on, and stressing how one had to live up to them NO MATTER WHAT and how repugnant others were who left after taking one. For me, I was clear from Day One that my allegiance was to God and Jesus, and my allegiance to twi only reflected that- and was subject to change if an even better ministry appeared somewhere. (I said it, and I wrote it, more than once.) So, for me, leaving wasn't as traumatic, mentally, as it was for a lot of people.
  20. If I get you right, LU, it was more a matter of "don't get caught and make us look bad" than a matter of "do what's right and avoid what's wrong." I agree.
  21. LiftedUp, for the benefit of us reading your posts, PLEASE make some distinction between the quote and your post. You quoted Twinky, and wrote in the quote-box, and did nothing to indicate what was Twinky and what was you. With the current software, one thing I do is to do a quote-box like you did, then, below the box, move the parts I'm quoting, and put them in quotation marks. Then I reply separately below them before I repeat the steps. That way, everyone can find the original quote easily, and can see what the other poster said, and what I replied to. Another thing I do (less common) is to write in the quote-box. but put my words in boldface and brackets to separate them visually from the original quote. (I can also do all of that at once, which makes it a LOT easier to see the difference.)

  23. In twi, I feel that Jesus was seriously de-emphasized, in order to emphasize people living now (us, but mostly vpw.) Even a temporal, earthly emperor would get more respect and notice than was given to him. I mean, even referring to him as "Lord" didn't mean much, because few people ever thought about what it meant to HAVE a "lord." I once replied to some trinitarians who seemed baffled about how one could have a "lord" who was not their "god." I said that to have Jesus as my lord meant that I'd sworn fealty to him. Even over the internet, I could almost swear I'd heard little light-bulbs going on over people's heads. THAT they understood. For a lot of twi and ex-twi people who claim adherence to the twi system, it's nothing at all like "swearing fealty to Jesus" or anything along those lines. Doing so takes away from the loyalty to some earthly leader who usurped Jesus' rightful place in the life of a Christian.
  24. For anyone who missed it, this round refers to "MORK AND MINDY." When Mork and Mindy married and had a kid, the kid was played by Jonathan Winters, of whom Robin Williams was a fan. There was a scene where both were improv- ing. They just kept the cameras rolling for close to an hour, and several minutes were used in the end.
