"Even old New York was once New Amsterdam. Why they changed it I can't say. People just liked it better that way." "So take me back to Constantinople. No, you can't go back to Constantinople. Been a long time gone, Constantinople. Why did Constantinople get the works? That's nobody's business but the Turks."

Next song. I hope someone gets it, since I'll have trouble not including the title. "Even old New York was once New Amsterdam. Why they changed it I can't say. People just liked it better that way."

I suppose, in an absolute sense, that's true. In practice, however, I'd probably follow that behavior more with, say, one guy teaching the Bible in his living room than, say, the official head of some splinter organization. I'd be a LOT more leery of those. In an absolutist sense, perhaps one should consider they MAY not be the pride-blinded bloodsuckers that some of their peers are. At the same time, one should be prepared for the possibility that they interpret "Hello" as "Tell me about the latest thing for which you're charging money." (JAL's standard response when he's hawking Momentus under the table while he's denying he is, for example.) Then again, at my first twig meeting, I kept one eye on the door the entire time.

I thought that would make it a LOT easier to guess, actually. I thought it would be snapped up with the first quote. The food quote certainly would have given it away to me, not even counting the reference to being able to sue "HER" since it was the Old West and not the present.

And Raf's gotten me back for the previous "ear worm."

The drunk in cell 2 had just woken up. Some people called him "Jim." (Probably because that was his name.) He refused breakfast for a bottle of whiskey.

That first exchange is followed up with "Oh, blow it out your @$$." During the initial attack of desperadoes on Rock Ridge, one man is dragged by a horse. "Well, that's the end of this suit." The food line was during the fight in the commissary. Mongo smashed Taggart (Slim P) and sent him sailing across the tray line, covered in food. The cashier rang him up for the food he was wearing. One showing of this movie on TV had 2 diehard fans of the movie watching with a host. Before they went to commercial breaks, the host would ask a trivia question, and they had to try to write down the answer during the break. Then the next segment aired, with the answer. The last one asked which foods were rung up. Yes, I got it right from home. Governor LePetomane was meeting with politicians in his office when the telegram came from Rock Ridge asking for help and a Sheriff. "The Gov" heard it and replied this. Then they all "harrumphed" (except for one man who had to do it alone. "You watch your @$$.") Looks like all the quotes aren't giveaways.

Yes. Model, actress, inventor of "frequency-hopping", which was quite useful in World War II (and afterwards), as it prevents jamming of radio signals. Her most famous quote about modeling is that anyone could model- all they had to do was stand around and look stupid. (If you saw the DC's LoT episode with her, you may have noticed she knew her science there, and actually said the quote. Mrs Wolf applauded because she was waiting specifically for that line.)

Correct.

Let's see....Marc Anthony..... don't know much of his stuff.... but I can hear the music now. "I NEED TO KNOW."

That last line looks familiar, but I can't hear any music with it (yet).

I've heard of all 3 artists. I've never heard of this song. Moving on...

This movie settled out-of-court with a famous actress (and inventor) for an undisclosed amount of money. At least she didn't have to stand around and look stupid for the money.

The thing is, while some of the people who were leaders in twi at some point are still alive, this can be necessary because some of them are spreading lies. A generation later, this becomes a lesser problem but still exists. This "vpw said" business carries weight if people think vpw was an exceptional Christian rather than the lying, lukewarm dirtbag he actually was. A few people are still teaching their kids this, but this problem self-corrects over time, with the numbers of adherents to the vpw delusion decreasing exponentially. Worldwide, now, the numbers are tiny, and they drop further every decade, and eventually will just be a handful of adults scattered around the USA who were taught that vpw was some Superman and to shun other Christians. Either they'll die out completely, or they'll discover the truth and drift away from vpw apologetics. I mean, we've had vpw apologists here before. Some have died due to old age, and at least one joined a mainstream religion that vpw used to badmouth. The process has been going on for decades, and will continue. I don't know if there will ever be a time with ZERO wierwillists, but it's not ridiculous to imagine it will be down to less than one living-room full before I pass away from old age. BTW, beginning thinkers don't need JJ to recommend something weighty and logical. They need something simple and clear. They need years to work up to "scholarly."

"Order, order. God^&%&it, I said "order". " Y'know, Nietzsche says: "Out of chaos comes order." " "Well, that's the end of this suit." "Yankee bean soup, cole slaw, and tuna surprise. " "We have to protect our phoney baloney jobs here, gentlemen! We must do something about this immediately! Immediately! Immediately!" ""I'd better sit up." ["Need any help?" "Oh... all I can get." ""Hey, maybe you should eat somethin' first." "No thanks, food makes me sick." This movie actually predicted something- it referenced something that didn't happen until much later in the shooting (it predicted a lawsuit.)

We saw the end of the Flash season. We had a few gripes. 1) Several episodes ago, Cicada 1 gave consent for treatment to the kid. Since then, we complained how nobody administered it. Morally and legally, they fulfilled the requirements for treatment. 2) Mrs Wolf is a Whovian, and thinks a lot about time travel. We both blame the writers for bad writing. If a timeline is changed, then it changes from the point of divergence, So, it should have changed from the present forward, with the new timeline overwriting it. Come on. Thawne was in prison for decades, without the CD to help imprison him. In THAT timeline, there would be different measures to hold him. (I knew they wouldn't do it, but I was hoping for someone to be waiting to inject "the cure" in the new future.) Instead, in the new future, there was nothing whatsoever that should have held him at all. I can accept "their new measures weren't enough" but not "and the prison had no measures in place to hold him, but he was there anyway." 3) Joe seems to be the only one who's aware that they may encounter XS again, in some other way. In the meantime, how about starting her existence in the present? Take a weekend off with some takeout food and Barry White albums, Barry and Iris! 4) If there was a Monitor in that episode, I missed them. What scene should I check? 5) I think I'll jump ahead and just watch the Supergirl season finale. We'll probably watch the LOT one this weekend, and I'll watch the Arrow one during the hiatus, before returning to Black Lightning.

I'll ask Mrs Wolf tomorrow. She doesn't know a lot of songs by their lyrics, but a lot of those tend to be older songs than I like.

You're older than me and Raf. While some of the newer posters are younger than us, no regulars seem to be younger than us. Of course, I could be wrong, as we're not that young, either.

This movie is not "Gone in 60 Seconds." ;)

It's fine, we're socializing here. :) You WANT some yelling? Well, this is the right board, and I'm sure you can find the posters best suited to help you there, with little trouble! :)
