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!

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.

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.")

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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.

Yes. Got that one pretty fast.

Oh, well. As always, keep me posted as to when new seasons begin.

Ok, next movie. "Yvette, is there a little girls' room in the hall?" "Oui, oui, madame." "No, I just I wanna powder my nose." "Are you trying to make me look stupid in front of the other guests?" "You don't need any help from me, sir." "That's right!"

Ok, name the actor who played the following roles..... Joe Curran Jack Mitchell Marvin Lucas Eagle Thornberry Barry Fenaka Charlie Datweiler Ras Mohammed Lord Durant Max Graham Joe McGinnis Andy Mast Frank Mazzetti

That makes it a lot clearer. Live long and prosper, Raf.

This SHOULD be easy, but my subconscious is NOT playing along right now.

To make it official, the answer is "SCREAM." (Aaaaahhh!) The first movie.

For the record, I'm not sure if Jay Silverheels is a "real Indian." "Iron-Eyes Cody" was Italian- but he lived as an Indian on a reservation for most of his life. So, that's up for interpretation.

I'll try the more obvious "LEONARD NIMOY" first.

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think I've ever see it, start to finish, ever. But I should. Horror isn't a favorite genre of mine, and Mrs Wolf likes some creepy stuff here and there, but not horror as a category. On the other hand, Hitchcock is 'horror', or 'suspense'? I think he's 'suspense.'

Then he appeared in footage in Pixels Peter Dinklage Avengers- Infinity War (That's Marvel's Avengers, not Steed and Peel.)

Wow. Thank that one comedian in the 80s or early 90s. He played a few notes of "Heard It Through the Grapevine", and said that young people now know it as the California Raisin theme song, while people his age knew it from "the Big Chill."

I highly doubt this is Jay Silverheels (Tonto) or Iron-Eyes Cody (the famous crying Indian from the old littering commercials.) I think Graham Greene is some form of Native American.

Wild swing here- was this "The Big Chill"?????

On top of that, he presented himself as anti-establishment, as "against The Man" to the hippies, which was an interesting marketing tool that worked in this instance.
