"My name is a killing word." "The spice must flow."

"The Elephant Man."

In twi, things like that went on because vpw wanted it (as long as he was in charge), since he'd set up twi to have the Head Cheese wield autocratic power without checks or balances. (The same, obviously, applies to his successors, who also enjoy power limited only by the now-pitiful reach of twi.) So, vpw wanted it. The question then becomes....why did vpw want it? vpw was all about power- the wielding of power, and the appearance of prestige and influence. (It's why he got his doctorate at a degree mill and then INSISTED on being called "Doctor." I'm three times the fake doctor he was, and you don't see me insisting on "doctor.") So, some of it was to try to make twi seem influential, which made vpw seem influential. Another part of it was something different. Other than vpw's abilities to con people, he was actually pretty stupid. He always cut corners on his education, and never learned if he could plagiarize instead, and tried not to bother with anything else. When it came to other types of con, vpw fell for them. If you had a fake supernatural con, vpw would swallow it and teach the Advanced Class it was real and NOT a sleight-of-hand trick. (I believe there's real stuff, but it's a lot rarer than the cons, and conflating the two is wrong no matter what.) One of vpw's sources for conning was the John Birch Society, a bunch of tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists. He had a hotline to all their pet weird ideas. He would listen to them, then announce all of their stuff and pretend he was getting Divine Revelation about all of it. Rock and roll being of the devil? Yeah, the JBS and all their cronies. So, if the JBS endorsed candidates, vpw went along and endorsed them also. Stupid of him? Yes. It makes about as much sense as a news-anchor reading ANYTHING off the teleprompter, even if it made no sense or was inappropriate. But the same thing in the sense that it was mindless parroting of something from someone else. twi was actually pretty effective at teaching all sorts of people to do mindless parroting of all sorts of things. Society has LOTS of people who do that, but twi made a policy of it, and we're here discussing them, of course.

So it's George's turn.

Is it in Psalm 119?

Ok, between the 2 posts was all the correct info. Waysider's turn!

"I'm not aware of too many things. I know what I know, if you know what I mean. Do ya?"

I'll probably never remember the correct name. It's funny, but non-consecutive lines were what I remembered- the line about gray reminded me of the stereo line, then I remembered more about the line naming the colors. Well, the mind's a fascinating thing, at least it is for me. Moving on, let's see....

cast includes- Paul Reubens Chaka Khan Kathleen Freeman Henry Gibson This famous movie had some great music- but it was NOT marketed as a musical, it's an action-comedy. This movie included some under-utilized, under-appreciated performers who were available for work. It was very smart of them to accept their offered roles, as their careers, as a whole, were jump-started when this movie hit the theaters, introducing them to a new generation of fans. Not many films have credits that leave out who played principal cast, but this was one of them. It was done on purpose, but didn't really change anything, since the audience knew who the 2 cast members were. Even stranger, another principal role didn't seem to have a name (although the role's actress is easy to recognize.) A number of the cast seemed to play themselves, while others definitely did not. I hope you get this soon. If not, I'll "See You Next Wednesday". This movie had a sequel, but most people prefer to ignore that, as it wasn't as good as the first movie despite having an obviously larger budget. (The bluegrass scene alone had a lot of special effects.) The first movie inspired a group- and they were in the sequel playing fans who were now performers.

Ok, now I can hear a tune.... so that's.... Got it! Counting Crows with "Mister Jones and Me." A two-hit wonder's first of 2 hits.

Is it Bad Company's "I'm Ready for Love?????"

Did I miss something? I can't find you identifying the current round. Isn't it still my turn?

As for Priscilla Barnes, I thought I'd heard the name somewhere. If you've watched "Three's Company," you may recall that the "3" in the title changed. We kept Jack and Janet, but the blond went from Chrissy (Suzanne Somers) to Cindy (Jenilee Harrison) to Teri (Priscilla Barnes.) She's been in some other things, but that's how she's best remembered- as Teri. Not every actor can be remembered as having done Shakespeare. On the other hand, at least she's remembered. On the other hand. Richard Kline was in around twice the number of episodes, and I could not remember he played Larry Dallas (Jack's wingman) without help.

In "Die Hard", according to imdb, Robert Davi was the taller/older of the FBI agents named Johnson. "I'm Agent Johnson, this is Special Agent Johnson." " Figure we take out the terrorists. Lose twenty, twenty-five percent of the hostages, tops."

That line naming the colors sounds vaguely familiar, but I'm not coming up with anything right now.

....making this George's turn.

So it's George's turn.

I don't think you're crazy. Then again, I don't think it's a problem if SOMEBODY thinks you are, only if EVERYONE thinks you are. If your journey moves you on from here on out, well, farewell until we meet again... maybe that will be soon, who knows?

No.

That's him. He did the voice of Letterman on The Electric Company, went on a "Haunted Honeymoon" as Larry Abbot, Avram Belinski was the rabbi in "The Frisco Kid", and so on.
