"Suzanne tired her work all done. Thinks money-honey-be on-neon. Cabman's velvet glove sounds the horn. And the sawdust king spits out his scorn. Wonder women you can draw your blind. Don't look at me! I'm not your kind I'm Rael Something inside me has just begun. Lord knows what I have done." "They say the lights are always bright on Broadway. They say there's always magic in the air." (I'm sure you all know this is NOT "On Broadway", so I won't see any guesses that it is. of course.)

I'm not sure of the meaning, but I know vpw used it periodically to demonstrate to the group that he could SIT, and it was exactly the same sentence each time. "Lo shanta malaka SIto la SHONta." If we had been running an Intermediate Class, and a student was always saying the EXACT same sentence, we would have been trying to identify the PROBLEM. vpw did it and was never doubted for an instant because it was vpw. Really, he was held to a ridiculous double- standard. Half the things he got away with would have been issues or problems for anyone else, and he got a free pass.

Ok, next song. "Suzanne tired her work all done. Thinks money-honey-be on-neon. Cabman's velvet glove sounds the horn. And the sawdust king spits out his scorn. Wonder women you can draw your blind. Don't look at me! I'm not your kind I'm Rael Something inside me has just begun. Lord knows what I have done."

BTW, since the first line included the title, IF info had posted the line and the artist, we would have counted that as a correct answer. As for the artist, ANY artist who got airplay with the song counts. So, if 5 people covered it and were on the radio, all 5 would count as a correct artist. (With one obscure song, I claimed the artist DANNY AIELLO (the actor.) He appeared on Saturday Night Live, and sang the song live on a broadcast that went around the world eventually. So, I was judged to have a correct answer, since it DID get airplay- including repeats. And he was the only person I'd ever heard sing the song, so it wasn't an odd choice. If not for that episode, I'd have never heard of the song.)

Ok, saw the first line. Is this called "White Room", and was it by "CREAM"? Something with Eric Clapton, I know. (If I got the song title, then Clapton still counts because he's done the song since.)

Sounds like Led Zepellin, but I've got nothing.

I'm sure I've heard this before, but the answer isn't springing to mind.

I didn't want to do "the Immigrant Song" again. :) You are correct! Your turn!

DeNiro Meet the Fokkers Barbara Streisand Dan Aykroyd Coneheads Chris Farley ========================== BZZT! No connecting movie between Streisand and Akroyd. The turn is still as Streisand- and we have to post a movie she was in. (I'd do it, but Mrs Wolf knows that and I'm not going to wake her just to answer.)

Ok, next song. "In the days of my youth, I was told what it means to be a man, Now I've reached that age, I've tried to do all those things the best I can. No matter how I try, I find my way into the same old jam."

*checks Scarface* I didn't find an imdb autosuggest for Mary Ellen Mastrantonio, so I checked "Scarface" and found that it was Mary ELIZABETH, as I suspected. I know her from one role. Robin Hood- Prince of Thieves Kevin Costner the Untouchables

That's it. I think the show certainly had a strong start. Episode 1 introduced everything, including setting up the plot for the series, AND fit in an adventure on the HMS Titanic!
-
I thought that, also. What incredible verbal contortions twi had people go through just to live their lives!
-
Ok, next round. Here's a show I've never done before. This show's original run was a single, long season from 1966 to 1967. It had some syndication success after the run ended, both domestically and overseas. (Mrs Wolf used to watch it.) It includes a nonexistent government agency and its major project. The show made some guesses about the future (but it supposedly took place in the year it was filmed/aired, which I thought was odd.) The 2 most important characters were played by an actor remembered as playing one of the Maverick brothers, and another who is remembered around here as playing Vic Fontaine on Star Trek - Deep Space 9.) Each episode ended in a "teaser" of the next episode (something a number of other shows have done, with at least one having a similar focus.) The series ended without resolving the primary storyline.

That's how the clues stacked up. Raf has it.

That's it.

He's the "LOCOMOTIVE BREATH" that JETHRO TULL sang about. "In the shuffling madness of the locomotive breath..." I saw Ian Anderson do this one live. He's still got it.

Any chance at all that this is a voice actor who gets a lot of work, like ROB PAULSEN or PHIL LAMAR?

Knowing there was an episode of a show TITLED The One With The Lesbian Wedding" can put one on the right track. As it turns out, "Mad About You" had Ursula, a neurotic waitress or something, played by Lisa Kudrow. She also played Phoebe Bouffet, who has a neurotic sister named "Ursula." Both clues, AFAIK, don't apply to "Mad About You." However, they DO apply to "FRIENDS."
-
Well, I felt like watching it again, then I felt like doing a round on it again. I've really gotten out of the habit of watching movies. Mostly, now, I watch them in 2 seatings like 2 episodes.

"retemory" was a portmanteau word mixing together "retain" and "memorize" because twi had to have it's own word for memorizing something. Saying you "retained" what you memorized is needless. It's like saying you have to mention you ATE something that you DIGESTED. It demonstrated a lack of understanding of what it meant to memorize. "Cop out" became really popular once 80% of the people got up and left at once in 88-89. They needed a slur to slap on the other Christians who were doing all the same things as them but not with the same social organization, so they were "copped out." "The Best" - It's shocking how dissatisfied the cadre at the top of twi can be about everyone else who has a life and a job and still does HOURS of stuff for twi. On the one hand, vpw always claimed twi had all the "best" people and he studied under "the best" despite their lack of background. However, if YOU do something for twi, the top person from there can avoid saying something nice and say it wasn't "best" instead, implying it wasn't good enough. "All 9 all the time." - A nice goal to aim for, but impossible in practice. NOBODY EVER walked around in twi, CONTINUALLY performing miracles, doing healings, casting out demons or devil-spirits, etc INCLUDING vpw, no matter how often he FAKED getting revelation.
-
That was just plain stupid. However, for a lazy researcher like vpw or even lcm, downgrading "research" to just "rereading" something made it possible to CLAIM you "researched" something when all you did was read the twi explanation. It also made it easier for vpw to justify just plagiarizing anyone else's explanation so long as he "READ" it, after all, he searched it again, "that's 're-search' ".
-
"Manifestations" had a reason- saying all of the "gifts" were standard-issue to ALL of the Christians. The former seemed to be an example of changing the language to change the language and make it more coded.
