"Some people say a man is made outta mud"

In Season 1, we had 2 more Doctors, Spearchucker Jones and Ugly John. Ugly John was an Aussie played by John Orchard, who returned later as the MP Muldoon. He figures heavily in the episode where the Doctors tend to Rosie's Bar when she can't. Why was coffee in his coffee mug? Harry Morgan was featured heavily in the episode, "The General Flipped at Dawn." He played the crazy general " Major General Bartford Hamilton Steele." Steele: You're insubordinate! Hawkeye: Right! Steele: You're insolent! Hawkeye: Right! And you're nuts!!

Oops, hadn't seen the thread. Obviously, this is Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London." He's known for his gloomy songs, so it's understandable but still a bad gaffe when one reads a description of "Johnny Strikes Up the Band" as gloomy despite it having a merry tune and upbeat lyrics.

I'm suspicious that it was unique. Some posters said his style sounded like other people who'd been on television, and even resembled Leonard's Canadian mannerisms. So, the "aw shucks" was probably plagiarized, and not a unique blend but more something off-the-shelf rather than made-from-scratch.

Ok, George. Answer it, and let us know which quote would have given it away if you hadn't done a search. I'm curious.

vpw was a study in hypocrisy mixed with laziness. When he began, he considered jobs which allowed him to draw attention and/or lots of money- business (money), show business/music (attention, money) and preaching (attention). Since business required a lot more work, and didn't provide the audience, and music was slow to provide a living, especially without long hours (it's said an "overnight success" in music requires 7 years of work first), preaching was a more obvious choice. He could get an audience and a guaranteed living, and not face the risks of never making it big. He was even able to get a Masters from a respectable school in "preaching". (Most people there went to study far more demanding majors, but he was avoiding the hard work.) vpw plagiarized and lied his way to "success", committing crimes and moral wrongs for decades. He publicly preached morals, often, and privately preached and practiced sin and license to sin (ever hear of another preacher saying God Almighty was all right with ORGIES?). As his final months and weeks approached, he was concerned about his HEALTH. Privately, he spoke of the credibility of the speaker for God with physical infirmities, because he realized there was a disconnect between his Word-Faith "God will heal anyone, anytime if they believe" doctrine, his public persona as Super-Believer, and the reality that his body was breaking down. (Decades of alcohol and tobacco abuse seem to have contributed a LOT to that and may have been the direct causes of him getting cancer- I certainly think the evidence is clear on that.) In his final hours, he was heard to have been thinking about his inability to get delivered physically despite his Super-Believing. He was well aware of his decades of lying, sinning, deceit, abuse of God's people and so on. He claimed he was searching earnestly and was UNABLE to find where he had displeased God, where he'd disobeyed God, to the degree he couldn't get the magical healing he claimed God would give. The one person vpw would never blame for vpw's faults and problems was vpw. Facing the consequences of his own decisions never seemed to occur to him, not even on his deathbed.

"In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the woman."

It is. Every Halloween I post it, IIRC. Your turn.

This is a very famous song, the title cut of a famous album, and had an even more famous music video. Many people consider it the most famous music video ever made, and many consider it the best. It came up in some Halloween parades as marchers performed dance numbers from it.

South Park

That's it. Can you answer the song one while you're in the neighborhood?

Now I know the rest of you are messing with me. Neither Mrs Wolf nor I particularly like the singer, but she interrupted me pretty early when I ran the posted lyrics past her earlier today.

"It's close to midnight Something evil's lurking in the dark. Under the moonlight You see a sight that almost stops your heart. You try to scream But terror takes the sound before you make it. You start to freeze As horror looks you right between the eyes You're paralyzed." "You hear the door slam And realize there's nowhere left to run. You feel the cold hand And wonder if you'll ever see the sun. You close your eyes And hope that this is just imagination. But all the while You hear a creature creepin' up behind You're outta time." "Now is the time For you and I to cuddle close together, yeah. All through the night I'll save you from the terror on the screen. I'll make you see" "Night creatures callin' The dead start to walk in their masquerade. There's no escaping the jaws of the alien this time. They're open wide." Ok, time for the giveaway. "Darkness Falls Across The Land, The Midnight Hour Is Close At Hand. Creatures Crawl In Search Of Blood, To Terrorize Your Neighbourhood. And Whosoever Shall Be Found Without The Soul For Getting Down, Must Stand And Face The Hounds Of Hell And Rot Inside A Corpse's Shell. The Foulest Stench Is In The Air- The Funk Of Forty Thousand Years, And Grizzly Ghouls From Every Tomb Are Closing In To Seal Your Doom."

Control from a centralized authority Money goes one way Dissent is suppressed and punished when possible Question: What does twi have in common with its offshoots that they disagree with the early Christians concerning? Well, let's start with the list above.... For all the bluster about being like the Christians in Acts or even BASED on them, the reality not only falls short, but is usually in complete opposition to outlandish claims

I'm not a big fan of musicals....

He is mostly remembered, I hear, from this TV show. He also had a small part in the movie "From the Hip." I expect he had other roles I don't know. If you hadn't done a search, my next set of clues would have been enough for you to figure it out fair and square without being eliminated. Some people might argue about whether or not it was about a period of AMERICAN history. BTW, Mrs Wolf had no idea about the clue about the actors, but giggled as soon as I read the quote about the pay toilet aloud because she recognized it immediately. Alan Arbus got to say one of the other quotes twice in the series, and another Alan said a few that I used. Gary got to say another. Larry and Jamie rounded out the rest of the quotes I used.

But...if it's new light to you, it's as good as new light even if it's old light! We were taught that by vpw himself! Oh, wait......

Sort of, but they were playing Kip and Henry DISGUISED as Buffy and Hildegard, which meant they each had a role that played another role. Curious distinction, but I was referring to an actor returning in a different role.
