  1. I figured you'd hit him with the next guess. The actual award was "Spirit of Metal" from Metal Hammer. (HM has their own awards?) There's a music video for "the Bloody Verdict of Verden", where he sings and also plays Charlemagne. I discovered it some years ago when the Daily Show played a small clip.

  3. Would you believe this actor also won a Grammy or something for some Heavy Metal he did? I SWEAR I'm not making this up.
  4. No, but if you give me a few more minutes, I'll see if I can get a few more roles up. Or, you can take another shot, probably. :)
  5. No. Now that you mentioned him, I should ask Mrs Wolf what she thinks of BR and this actor. I suspect she prefers BR and I prefer the other.
  6. "We're the ones with the Imperial, and we're running last?" "Will you take us to Santa Rosita state park?" "What's the matter, what happened to you? What was ya, in some kind of initiation?" "We had an accident. We fell into yellow, all right? Hurry up!"

  8. It's not the Pizzicato 5- of which there are 3 members. So, it must be "the Thompson Twins"- of which there are also 3 members. They're named after the Tintin characters. Oddly enough, Thompson and Thomson are not "TWINS", but they appear identical despite no genetic connection. So, they're confused for twins. (Figuratively, they could be thought of as twins.) I started listening to music with any seriousness in the 80s, just in time to hear the Thompson Twins. This is "Hold Me Now."

  10. Leaf blowers cost money! You students were expendable. You can tell how meaningless the classes were based on how casually twi arranged for people to skip them. It was more important to pull the students- who paid tuition- and get them to do manual labor- for which they were unpaid. I just can't get over how shameless that was.
  11. Yes. The Corps was a financial gold-mine. The students paid money to be there, so just having them there, and spending so little on them, meant the program worked at a profit. Then they worked manual labor for free, so twi didn't have to pay laborers for their free work, which is quite profitable. Any slave-owner could tell you that paying your workers zero is very profitable for you the slave-owner. Then, when they finished, they were expected to pay you money regularly- tithes, "abundant sharings", and, if you could convince them, "plurality giving", -handing over all money not directly earmarked for an expense like food, rent or clothes. On top of that, they were trained as a SALES FORCE- the only professional training they had was NOT in counseling or anything like that, it was plagiarized Dale Carnegie SALES courses. So, they were told to run classes- which ran at a profit for twi- and get more people- who were expected to tithe/ ABS. At every level, twi was organized to run with the least possible expenditures, with locals carrying all expenses, and all activities designed to run at a net financial profit for twi. It's blatantly UNgodly, but profitable if you care about money and NOT about God.
  12. The Corps program ran at a profit, since more tuition was paid than expenses were incurred, per student. The Corps program was ESPECIALLY profitable because the students who paid their tuition were required to perform manual labor, for which they were paid $0 per hour salary. They not only worked for free, they paid to be there. So, the more workers, the more money twi made. No wonder there were corps later who had a lot of "make-work" like cleaning things that were already clean when they arrived.
  13. And more recently, when there were no 1st Corps around anymore, the Powers That Be announced that the old time hangers-on that weren't Corps were now the 1st Corps.
  14. You're probably right. Charlie and Bosley stayed with the show, and the angels rotated. In the movies, the angels stayed, and the Bosleys rotated. If there was going to be a third movie, the next Bosley was obviously going to be the motorcyclist kid.
  15. "Deuce Bigalow Male Gigolo"??????
  16. No guarantee that you finished knowing anything, either. When I first started attending locally, a corpse guy was sent to run the Branch for his interim year. He never fit in, and people just sorta nodded when he said stuff, then went off and did things the way we were supposed to. (He was more decorative than actually LEADING anything.) We were glad when his year was up and he went back to wherever. His replacement was better, but he could hardly have been worse. :)
  17. Is this "THE AVENGERS"? There was a "new Avengers". and the Steed-and-Peel show went though different agents, but Steed was the same through the show's run.

  19. BTW, now the original video isn't blocked, and the others are all deleted.
  20. I think that's a bit of an exaggeration, but I'll give it a shot. I did look when I saw Human's question. The quick answer I have, based on a quick look, is that the main program for Itunes is free. If he wants the tunes, he PROBABLY will have to pay. I didn't look that far, but I thought it was evident that they have to pay for their service somehow. So, the program is free, and the music files cost money- that would follow the pattern for buying music as opposed to just streaming it/listening to the radio.
  21. *wild swing* "The Big Lebowski"?????
