"Save Tonight", Eagle-Eye Cherry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKC9jfg5ky0 When watching the video, watch for when the robber tries to eat the money. (The artist pointed that out once.) Son of Don Cherry, brother to Neneh Cherry, he uses his legal first and last name. His father named him that when he first saw him. Eagle-Eye opened one eye and looked at his father.

I think 100,000 only becomes a reality when it includes family and loved ones who were affected by twi despite never having been in twi. That number is supposedly the number of people who ever signed up for pfal. As you all know, not everyone who signed up showed up for session 1. Not everyone who showed up for session 1 showed up for session 12. Not everyone who showed up for session 12 stuck around after that. When I took pfal, there were 8 people signed up. 7 showed up for session 1, and 3 completed the class. If that was typical, the 100,000 number should probably be closer to 50,000, and that's representing EVERYONE who EVER was involved in twi over supposedly 50 years. Per year, that's something like 1000 people per year on average. For a national church group, that's a rounding error more than a membership list. vpw wasn't the only plagiarist who ripped off Kenyon. vpw, however, was probably the least-significant plagiarist who ripped off Kenyon, at least in terms of numbers. People who've never gone near Copeland's group or Meyer's group know who Meyer is. Statistically, almost nobody in Christianity in the 20th century's heard of vpw and twi, except supposed cult experts. Small wonder vpw made a big deal about supposed cult status and tried to make the situation worse- he enjoyed the recognition even if it was negative!

With emphasis on both "controlling" and "huckster." "Controlling"- chafed at ANY accountability and structure when HE answered to it, did his best to set up one so long as others answered to HIM "huckster"-talked a good game and could relay convincing sermons, but was a horrible example in real life, lacking self-control, cheating on his wife, raping/drugging women, treating a ministry as his own piggy bank, chain-smoker and alcoholic, etc, etc. If he'd read, understood and actually believed Scripture, he would have actually tried to be a "Doer of the Word" and not just a "Speaker of the Word."

Kenyon's Word-Faith stuff was plagiarized freely by a lot of people. And Don needed the incredible coincidence of twi shelling out for an entire freaking college to keep him in. What a coincidence that twi suddenly wanted an educational institution just as someone who wanted a degree in Education was on his way out- yet was someone vpw wanted to keep IN.

Between the obscurity of the show and the low number of current players, I'm surprised we had ONE player who knew the answer. Feel free to wait, but don't be surprised if all you get are crickets chirping.

Ok, either of you got it. ========================== https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stinking_badges " In the TV show The Monkees episode 33 "A Nice Place To Visit" (1967), Micky Dolenz misquoted the line as "Badges? We don't need no stinking badges". In Mel Brooks' 1974 Western Blazing Saddles, the line was delivered as "Badges? We don't need no stinking badges." In the 1983 TV series Wizards and Warriors, the character Marko (played by Walter Olkewicz) delivers a spoof of the line as "Badgers? We don't need no stinkin' badgers." In the 1986 Stephen King novel It, character Richie Tozier repeatedly says in a poor imitation of a Mexican accent, "Batches? We don't need no steeking batches." Early 1980s rock band The Minutemen's song Badges included the line "We don't need no badges, we don't need no stinkin' badges" The 1987 Luis Valdez play I Don't Have to Show You No Stinkin' Badges draws its title from this quote, and makes a specific reference to Sierra Madre. In the 1989 "Weird Al" Yankovic film UHF, when Raul (Trinidad Silva) is asked to take a consignment of badgers, he says "Badgers? We don't need no stinking badgers!" Julian Cope's semi-eponymous song Julian H Cope from his 1992 album Jehovahkill featured the line "Badges? Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges! So cissified, civilised, I want to be a savage". In the 2002 Friends Season 8 episode "The One with the Baby Shower", the quote is mentioned as one of Joey's training questions for Bamboozled. In the 2008 film "Zombie Strippers", when Paco (Joey Medina) is told to obtain some wild animals to dispose of the bodies, he says "Badgers? Badgers? We don't need no stinking badgers"."

No. Picture an actor whose Baby had to settle for a ham sandwich instead of rabbit at the Mocambo.

Could have been worse. She didn't say no, technically.

"If you're the police where are your badges?" "Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinkin' badges!"

No, it's probably Danny Glover's character in "Lethal Weapon."

That's it. I was tempted to try to string 4 together, but sanity kicked in first.

There were often stories about a friend-of-a-friend knowing THIS famous person or THAT theologian took pfal, joined and quit, or had a direct encounter with vpw. vpw himself told the story about Normal Vincent Peale, where he claimed vpw was present at a meeting where Peale claimed to have seen a dead relative ghost down along with the choir, and said so at the pulpit. According to vpw, he confronted Peale afterwards on "the Bible says the dead are dead", and Peale responded by saying he didn't care what the Bible says, he saw them with his own eyes. (vpw told the story at the mainstage of ROA 79, but it was an earlier ROA where he gave the name of who he supposedly confronted.) According to vpw, the man's organization frequently taught such things in its newsletter (which is Guideposts, but vpw never gave the name). (That is, ghosts of the dead visiting the living and watching over them...) Then again, since he didn't drop the name while claiming that part, it should not be a surprise I can't find any reference to Peale ever saying such things. Probably was never such a reference in any newsletter, nor such an incident. Few nowadays would be surprised to discover vpw completely manufacturing an incident while preaching, and denigrating a Christian leader or leaders in the process. That's all I've heard about Peale, nothing about him taking pfal. About Schuller supposedly taking pfal or being involved in twi, I've heard nothing and such claims sound ridiculous. From the time pfal supposedly began onward, Schuller was a bigger fish than vpw, consistently. The only way I'd buy Schuller ever taking it was if vpw had actually marketed pfal for pastors like Leonard did- which vpw did not, he wanted to use it to build a congregation of his own, not enhance the congregations of others. IF that had happened, then PERHAPS Schuller MIGHT have taken it and left- providing Schuller actually ever HEARD of vpw at the time. By the time vpw had met the hippies, Schuller already had built entirely new church structures to house his congregation- all in CALIFORNIA. (Before the internet, Schuller would never have HEARD of a junior league pastor in the middle of Ohio, let alone left California and his congregation to sit through his classes.) The more information I look at on Schuller, the more ridiculous it seems. It's remotely possible they attended some big conference together like the one where he met Stiles, but other than that, further claims are silly.

This preparatory school for superheroes begins having song-and-dance numbers when two of the new kids meet over karaoke and discover they love music, even if they're more sidekicks than superheroes.

There's at least 1 movie everyone here's probably seen that has Smits in it, but see if I care. You can continue from Seth Rogan for all I care. (Or Smits, whichever you want.)
-
Sorry, you replied to George after a reply was already up. We left off at Jimmy Smits (in Running Scared.)
-
Yes. I can confirm it because I looked it up and disqualified myself. Your turn.

I still think there was never a scripted explanation for them. Then again, what do I know? I haven't eaten at Taco Bell for something like 2 years.

The books are on my list to read at some point or other. In general, nowadays I don't see movies in the theaters. It works better for me to see them on cable, DVD or otherwise.

It sounded like it should have been Bob Dylan, at any rate. Glad to know the reason it sounded that way. BTW, with the title and artist of a song, it's usually not hard to find one or several versions of the song on YT. So, if you want, often you can post a link to a video. ------------------------------------------------ On the off-chance someone new recognizes the current song, I'll wait a little before answering. This one I remember as much from the video as the radioplay. I'll link to that one once the answer is up, or I post it.
