  1. That's correct. The other big hit off the same album is "Rio". IMHO, it's a better song but on the GSC, most people seem to have either forgotten it or never heard it. Your turn!
  2. "Dark in the city night is a wire Steam in the subway earth is a fire." "Woman you want me give me a sign And catch my breathin' even closer behind." "In touch with the ground I'm on the hunt I'm after you. Smell like I a sound, I'm lost in a crowd" "Straddle the line in discord and rhyme I'm on the hunt, I'm after you. Mouth is alive with juices like wine" "Stalked in the forest too close to hide I'll be upon you by the moonlight side. (Do do do do do do do) (Do do do do do do do do) High blood drummin' on your skin it's so tight You feel my heat I'm just a moment behind. (Do do do do do do do) (Do do do do do do do do)" "Burnin' the ground I break from the crowd I'm on the hunt, I'm after you. I smell like I sound, I'm lost and I'm found" "Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme I howl and I whine I'm after you Mouth is alive all runnin' inside" Still nothing? I need a break. Maybe I'll go get a sammich or something. Or a meal.

  4. I'm giving this a good, long think. it doesn't warrant a "shoot from the hip" reply. Either you're correct, or you're not. If you're not correct, and I reply with something cogent, but it's unpopular, it's going to draw a lot of fire, and I no longer want to be bothered with it. I can go anywhere on the internet and draw flak. If you are correct, I won't be posting anything vigorously antagonistic, obviously.
  5. Ok, I'll change it up. Same artist, same album, different song. "Burnin' the ground I break from the crowd I'm on the hunt, I'm after you. I smell like I sound, I'm lost and I'm found"
  6. "X-Men Origins Wolverine"? Was that even a movie?
  7. According to a quick online search for that which I just did, there are at least 2 different ways to pull that up without installing anything new, and at least 1 way to do it after installing some 3rd party program.
  8. I remember when XP was the standard and Vista was released. There were specific complaints about it, and they usually (IIRC) all centered around the same thing-the multiple steps to freaking do ANYTHING. You'd tell it to open a program. It would ask you to confirm you wanted to open the program, etc. Microsoft responded to complaints by saying "Well, you'll adjust to it eventually. After all, you don't have any other alternatives. We're cutting off sales of XP and you'll be forced to buy Vista. The public responded to that. Some bought up all the XP computers around to delay before any conversion. Sales of MACs and Linux computers shot up-IIRC, the sales overall of both types DOUBLED. Microsoft responded to that by saying "Don't be so hasty. We meant we're working on the things you complained about, and we'll have them fixed very soon in Updates." So, Vista Service Pack 1, basically, was Vista minus the obnoxious things people complained about. However, since the name "Vista" was tainted by the entire experience, MS rushed out "Windows 7"-which basically is Vista Service Pack 2. This solved the tainted name. Now, MS has come out with a new product which has 2 3 especially obnoxious features: A) no Start button/menu B) a mangled Desktop covered with annoying buttons rather than optional icons and folders C) intrusive programs that "helpfully" spy on each other to make things "more convenient" for you. As to the last, you can UN-SELECT that option for your PC anytime you want. They already promised the return of the Start button, and the option to switch the new iPad desktop to something a PC could actually use. Meanwhile, there's perfectly good reasons to not use Microsoft's word processor program, hotmail, their instant messenger, Internet Explorer, etc. Even if I let their progams spy on each other, all they'd find is IE used to get updates, and MS already knows I get their updates. If I want an IM, there's plenty of options. If I want a browser, there's plenty of options-other than IE and Chrome, both of which spy on users. If I want an email account, there's plenty of options. If I want an email client, I can use Thunderbird rather than Outlook Express. Generally, I prefer to work around Microsoft, Google, and Facebook- the 3 most obvious spy networks online.
  9. "Moving on the floor now babe you're a Bird-of-Paradise. Cherry ice-cream smile, I suppose it's very nice. With a step to your left and a flick to the right You catch that mirror way out West. You know you're something special and you look like you're the best." "...and she dances on the sand, Just like that river twisting through the dusty land. And when she shines, she really shows you all she can" "I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV. Two of a billion stars. It means so much to me Like a birthday or a pretty view. But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you." "Hey now woo, look at that did he nearly run you down At the end of the drive, the lawmen arrive you make me feel Alive, alive, alive. I'll take my chance, 'cause luck is on my side Or something, I know what you're thinking. I'll tell you something, I know what you're thinking." "She don't need to understand. And I might find her if I'm looking like I can." I guarantee this follows my older rule of only songs released 1985 or earlier.
  10. Oh, good. I didn't WANT to go through my books in storage right now. And, since it was on cassette, I don't think I brought the Harmony with me. It did amuse me, however, that vpw lambasted harmonies at time, then put out JCOP and twi put out a Harmony. Furthermore, for a guy who lauded the Aramaic versions to the sky, he seemed to have never heard of the Diatesseron- a harmony written in Aramaic, used by the Aramaic church BEFORE the Peshi++a was translated and replaced it, and popular for its time, unusual for an Aramaic text.
  11. I was thinking I only personally know her from 2 movies, and I was stuck for who to link to from the other. But I remembered a veteran actor in it who was in a number of movies. Not Another Teen Movie Randy Quaid National Lampoon's Vacation
  12. Was this an example of "the character shares the first name ofthe actress"?
  13. "Moving on the floor now babe you're a Bird-of-Paradise. Cherry ice-cream smile, I suppose it's very nice. With a step to your left and a flick to the right You catch that mirror way out West.

  14. IIRC, I have both JCOP and the twi Harmony of the Gospels (I think) in storage. I'll have to dig them out and get back to you. As in, next week.
  15. They are indeed. The actors in question played in those scenes. The sight of Dana Carvey dressed as Khan, with a food inspector, trying to shut down the restaurant, was enough to crack up the audience.
  16. "I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV. Two of a billion stars. It means so much to me Like a birthday or a pretty view. But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you."

  17. Patrick Stewart was on "Love Boat:the Next Generation" as Captain Picard? Yes, according to this television show..... William Shatner operated the USS Enterprise as a restaurant as Captain Kirk? Yes, according to the same show- which had a patron needing the Heimlich Maneuver. "Dammit, Jim, I'm a doctor, not-oh."
  18. I remember that moment as Worf playing Hambone. (Twice in the episode, IIRC.) However, that is not the series I'm talking about here.
  19. Patrick Stewart was on "Love Boat:the Next Generation" as Captain Picard? Yes, according to this television show.....

  21. I forgot they redid that television show. This reminds me of the running gags concerning the "primitive" island of Kooeykooeykooey. This was the new version of "the Love Boat."
  22. "She don't need to understand. And I might find her if I'm looking like I can."
