Ok, it's "the Usual Suspects." So let's move this along. Cary Elwes' title role was not the most respected interpretation of his character, but he was the most respected in recent memory..at least when it aired, I'm not certain about now.

The key to this seems to be figuring out who the lead character is. If I could only figure out who that is...

Hopefully, I'm not making any of this up.... "Hollywoodland of the Giants"?

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%208&version=KJV No, among the first things Noah did when he landed was to build an altar and offer a sacrifice to God Almighty. Some time after that, Noah settled down, farmed, and cultivated a vineyard. After the vineyard's grapes were harvested and fermented, THEN Noah got drunk. That had to at least be several months later. Genesis 9:20-21a (NASB) 20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: 21 And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; It makes a lot more sense if you examine the life of Joseph. Joseph's brothers were envious of him, hated him, and wanted him dead- showing him mercy by selling him into slavery. Once he was in slavery, he worked well for an owner, and refused to deal corruptly with him. So he was framed and thrown into prison- still having done nothing wrong other than not shut up in front of his envious brothers. Eventually, his time in prison was used to A) turn him into the Chief Operating Officer of Egypt with power of attorney for Pharaoh B) store food sufficient for Egypt and several other countries to use to survive the coming famine (including Israel) When he finally confronted his brothers, Joseph made an interesting comment about what his brothers did to him because of their evil intent. Genesis 50:20 (KJV) But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. I don't claim to understand a lot about how God works. I do know it's possible for someone like God to use-unwillingly to them- beings of evil intent and confine their destructive abilities to targets of God's own choosing, much like a surgical laser can zap cancerous tissue while sparing healthy cells (presuming optimal conditions.) To me, it's a spiritual equivalent to someone performing Aikido or a similar martial art- a master practitioner can redirect the violence of an attacker and redirect it into something of his own choosing. Just because it is POSSIBLE is no guarantee this is how God works-but it's possible on paper. Yeah, what can I say? They're silly. Is there an actual verse they CLAIM supports this, or are they more honest that it's made-up?

twi taught this. I Peter 3:18-20 (KJV) 18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; 20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. twi taught that this meant that the spirits in prison were disobedient spirits whose disobedience specifically included causing The Flood. Reading it coldly, I see spirits who were imprisoned specifically because of their disobedience in the timeframe of the days PRECEEDING The Flood. If it's meant to say that these spirits caused The Flood, neither this account nor any other actually says that. Hebrews 2:14 (NASB) 14 Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, This is another single-verse doctrine of twi. I've gotten VERY leery of them, since so many of them turned out to be based on misunderstanding the verse and then spinning long doctrines out of whole cloth based on THAT. The idea is that the devil (and thus, his minions) must be involved if any death is caused by any supernatural means, since he had the power of death. I'm open to reconsidering specifically who the angel of death was-and, more to the point, who he took orders willingly from. However, I see no textual reason to think that The Flood was caused by the imprisoned spirits, other than that they were disobedient at the time.

At this point, I figured throwing the original name out wouldn't hurt. if the Nurse Joys and Officer Jennys didn't tell anyone, and "gotta catch 'em all" didn't tell anyone, it was time for quotes like "I wonder which Pokemon would be best to use now?"

The short of what it said was that the single verse that said something on the subject said rather clearly that "rain" wasn't happening back at the time it addressed, when there was no "man" either. Nothing says, suggests or implies that either state remained permanent. "Man" was introduced a few verses later, and "rain" is not discussed. Perhaps the thinking was that it was irrelevant-this not being a textbook on science- or that only the stupid would actually sit down and try to read that into the account. Either way, I see the explanation of "and there continued to BE no rain for thousands of years afterwards" to be a leap completely unsupported by any verses. So, with no verse suggesting it, and science firmly on the other side, the only reason to believe it is DOGMA- i.e. I was taught this and my teacher can't make mistakes, so I believe it.

Mrs Wolf just looked over all the clues and rattled off the answer halfway down the list. Since she doesn't want to log in and answer, she suggested that I mention: The long commercial refers to a game (as well as plush toys, the electronic pokedex), etc. Japan already had made pocket monsters a successful product long before this particular show came along.

Cheez Louise, I can't have 12-24 hours to respond to stuff? It's not like I'm hardlinked to the messageboard.... ================================================ Having reviewed the relevant verses in the KJV, NASB and NIV, pending a review in the Hebrew, I see no reason to think that description applied AFTER humans existed. The explanation on the linked page was a good one, and I see no quarrel with it... http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/2010/10/19/rain-before-flood If I were to toss out an opinion, I'd say this really wasn't worth dwelling on as it's more to set the timeframe than to explain, but that it's a partial comment on the founding of the water cycle. (Any self-sustaining cycle has to begin SOMEWHERE and SOMEYIME, after which it can sustain itself.)

It is definitely not "Adult Swim". In fact, when I was in NYC, the thing aired on a commercial channel while in syndication on a different channel. I can currently see it in syndication on 2 different channels. It is VERY well known.

By any chance, was that line uttered in "the Wiz"???

Among the oddness of this show: -a lot of the police seem related and look similar...they're all named "Jenny" -a lot of the nurses seem related and look similar...they're all named "Joy" -many regular characters can't speak English, and their speech sounds a lot like their names.... and they don't have names as individuals, they're referred to by their sub-species rather than by a personal name "Gotta catch 'em all"

*checks* That show, oddly enough, HAS been around more than 10 seasons, but has been around less than the 1 I'm talking about. It's also been associated with relatively few consumer purchases- but the one I'm talking about has been very profitable, between cross-marketing and licensed products, and so on. Toys and cards are almost certainly the biggest sellers. Not many shows make it 10 seasons. Far fewer are current shows. This current show has had more than TEN theme songs! Among the theme songs were the following lines: "On a road, far from home, you don't have to feel alone. Brave and strong, together we will be. It's our destiny! We will be heroes, We can change the world if we try! I go where you go, Forever friends, you and I!" "Be the best you can be And find your destiny It's the master plan The power's in your hand." "Walking down this endless highway With nothing but my friends beside me We'll never give in, we'll never rest" "Yeah, this dream keeps us together, This shows that you and I - Will be the best that the world's ever seen, Because we always will follow this dream!" "And the future will decide If there's a hero buried deep inside" "No time to question my moves I stick to the path that I choose Me and my friends are gonna do it right You'll never see us run away from a fight To be a Master is my dream, All I've got to do is believe." "I wanna be the very best Like no one ever was." ============================================= Some might consider this entire series to be nothing more than a long commercial, but others might consider it some sort of modern, buddy "on the road" story like the old movies, with 3 buddies instead of 2 buddies. The main character's famous for wearing a cap. Replicas of one of his caps have been hot sellers for young folks at times.

I can't tell if this is a list of characters or a list of actors. Guessing it's actors and guessing from there, my wild guess is "the Dream Team."

It's rather obvious vpw didn't understand "his" "Great Principle" because it was both inconsistent and senseless. "God is Spirit. God can only give that which He is." As Raf pointed out on this once, God gave manna. God is not manna. (And so on.) "God is Spirit. Spirit can only communicate with spirit." Again, Raf pointed out that this is inconsistent. According to vpw, God CAN'T communicate with body-and-soul, flesh-and-blood. (Let's ignore all the instances where God did EXACTLY that.) So, God gives spirit, and God communicates with spirit, and that spirit God gave us communicates with our mind. Wait- that spirit can communicate with flesh-and-blood, body-and-soul, but God Almighty is UNABLE TO because he is spirit??? This gets even more senseless when they end up tacking on the wild explanation that every incident and instance in the Bible where God Almighty darn well DID communicate with people involved putting spirit upon them for just that moment in a "phenomena." It just gets more and more convoluted and wrong for every single incidence that's discussed-since that stupidity has to be tacked on to discussions about lots of unrelated things.

This a current show that has had enough seasons to justify all the theme-songs. No- although since I just added that this was a current show, I'm sure you figured that out. But I'm replying because I don't want to ignore you and be rude. :)

AFAIK, when people say "mass marriages", they usually mean the group told them who to marry and assembled them all. twi DID have groups who all got married at the same time, at least once that I know of. (lcm was complaining about how outsiders spoke derisively about it, at the event, and he was recorded.) AFAIK, all the people actually chose to get married, who to get married to, and to get married at the group time. (Yes, I'm sure there was some bandwagon-ing, but there wasn't a directive to get married, and at that day or to whom. As for house-painting and window-washing, I know that it got very popular right at the split in 1988-1989, as all the paid staff suddenly became unemployed. So, they wanted jobs that required little or no startup capital, and no special training. Naturally, those were popular choices, and we later heard some splinter leaders start mandating people got their windows cleaned often because the transparency of your windows indicated your spiritual well-being. I kid you not. Naturally, the people being hired to clean the windows just happened to be the ones who TECHNICALLY didn't make it MANDATORY, but acted as if it was and brought social sanctions to bear if they weren't obeyed. I don't know the history of the thing before the 88-89 split.

Glad it wasn't TOO easy. Each theme song has been for a different season.

This show has had more than TEN theme songs! Among the theme songs were the following lines: "On a road, far from home, you don't have to feel alone. Brave and strong, together we will be. It's our destiny! We will be heroes, We can change the world if we try! I go where you go, Forever friends, you and I!" "Be the best you can be And find your destiny It's the master plan The power's in your hand." "Walking down this endless highway With nothing but my friends beside me We'll never give in, we'll never rest" "Yeah, this dream keeps us together, This shows that you and I - Will be the best that the world's ever seen, Because we always will follow this dream!" "And the future will decide If there's a hero buried deep inside" "No time to question my moves I stick to the path that I choose "

No idea. I'm hoping more of the rounds will be aimed at movies than actors or actresses.
