  1. Like everyone else, my life has moved on since twi. (Especially lately.) I feel good about many posters who have moved on BECAUSE they've gone on with their lives. They're all GSC success stories! Those of us still posting all have lives as well, of course. I also hope that those still Christian, posting now or not, have found healthy Christians to interact with corporately to some degree, even online if necessary. (I hope all posters are moving on in healthy ways regardless of their belief systems, and that's probably true of almost all of them, past and present.) We post, hopefully, because we have something to say. Paw could always put the forums into an archive, read-only, mode if we all stopped having something to say. I'm hoping nobody's posting just to post, or to raise post-counts or something. I don't mind quieter days in between cycles. The threads with lots of posts and squabbling, were they really better than lulls in posting?
  2. Ok, here's the next one. is jailed and volunteers for an experimental aversion therapy developed by the government in an effort to solve society's crime problem.. "A guidance counselor mistakenly sends out the wrong transcripts to Stanford University under the name of an over-achieving high schooler who is a delinquent. The delinquent attends,and flunks out-ending up in jail. He volunteers for an experimental aversion therapy developed by the government to solve society's crime problem."
  3. There was a show called "Son of Thunder"? No kidding? I imagined there might be a movie somewhere with that name. When I take my wild swings, they really are wild swings.
  4. Then it's an ACCIDENTAL insult, but an insult nonetheless. Here's one possible solution... You think we need an interesting thread or two? How about starting it yourself?
  5. I think it made it into the EARLY 70s. I have a fuzzy impression of something.
  6. Posting goes in cycles as people live their lives. Since there's been no announcement that the GSC is closing, this was just a complaint there's been no interesting posts in the past few days. I have some threads planned, myself, but I have to fit them in to my own life. In a few months, I hope to have more time for me, and thus more time to post. (I might be able to post them earlier, we'll all see when we see.) I can't guarantee you'll find them interesting. I will, hopefully some people will.
  7. I MIGHT have gotten it from the pies. Shows that aired in reruns into the late 70s or later, I might have a chance with those. It doesn't matter when they were filmed if they were still aired later.

    Arrivederci Pope

    I'm amused by how I hear the story broke. I heard he addressed a few cardinals in Latin during a mass. In the audience was a reporter who understood Latin who immediately started notifying people. Naturally, their first response was they must have misheard, but the Pope still had to deal with the story getting out days before he meant it to.
  9. Oops. Ok, let's see... "Every time that I look in the mirror"
  10. If the wikipedia article is correct, I suspect the founders (at least 2 of the 5, maybe more) genuinely wanted to do good. I say that because they left when it looked like the results were bad, and warned others about that. So, they may have meant well and ended badly. vpw, on the other hand, never made any kind of repentance for his actions. (The closest he came was to say he wish he'd been a better man, which is INCREDIBLY vague and puts the emphasis on HIM rather than on those wronged or the organization that wronged them-beginning with himself.) I think they saw a problem and tried to SOLVE it. I think vpw saw a problem and tried to EXPLOIT it.

    Arrivederci Pope

    With healthcare in the past 100 years having improved dramatically for those of us in First World countries, it's no surprise we're getting lots of people living past 70. With lots of people living past 70, it's no surprise lots of them are doing useful things past 70. (Ronald Reagan was US President in his 70s, IIRC.) So, the idea Popes can live long enough to warrant retirement should not be a shock, and it doesn't have to have anything to do with him being a Pope. What DID surprise me was that he assumed the office at what, 76? That's awfully late to BEGIN a position of authority that's supposed to be "for life." THAT I found peculiar. But him living long enough to have sufficient health problems to make world travel impractical, that doesn't surprise me.
  12. Oops. Yes, it is the first, George was right.
  13. Real Genius William Atherton Ghostbusters
  14. What are you derailing, John? Well, on page 1, post 18, you put the first non-topic post on, and the subject changed from "nuttiness" to your favorite topic, how vpw's depravity should be a non-issue. " I can't help but notice how much posters here attack VPs credibility down to the minutest detail."
  15. It IS Zorro. I don't know shows that haven't aired before the 70s because-why would I? If they aired in reruns I can know them-and there's b & w TV like Flash Gordon I DID see. In the case of Disney's Zorro, someone else introduced me to it the other year. It's airing in other languages NOW outside the US.
  16. Among others, Disney's done a series on this character. So did the Family Channel. And Sony, in association with Telemundo. And Filmation. And Warner Brothers. And the Japanese. And the Filipinos. Not counting a tv movie. Although not counting that might upset Frank Langella, Ricardo Montalban and Yvonne de Carlo.
  17. "Pokemon" was named for the longer name "pocket monsters." There was no character called "Pokemon."
  18. "We do not train to be merciful here. Mercy is for the weak. Here, in the streets, in competition. A man confronts you, he is the enemy. An enemy deserves no mercy what is the problem, Mr. Lawrence?" "Wax on, right hand. Wax off, left hand. Wax on, wax off. Breathe in through nose, out of mouth. Wax on, wax off. Don't forget to breathe, very important."
  19. This was the first post. I don't think that anyone who's still attracted to nuttiness AFTER leaving twi should be allowed to derail it.

  21. Hey, little sister, who is it you're with? Hey, little sister, what's your vice and wish? Hey, little sister, shotgun (oh, yeah) Hey, little sister, who's your Superman Hey, little sister, shotgun! Billy Idol's signature hit, "White Wedding."
  22. I know Rottiegrrl owns/owned a Rottweiler, and I suspect a pic of that dog is her avatar. We had other animals too, like Grizz Bear and others with animal avis like the frog animation. I think some poster tried to use mine, then switched to a sugar glider or something when I asked him to stop. Cindy! and her daughter used/use a Tigger animation. That's off the top of my head. Explaining mine would take long and get personal. The shorter answers include that this avatar was a commissioned piece of art for me. I find that wolves are victims of a smear campaign in Europe, which includes translating the DESERT JACKAL as "wolf" in the Bible when wolves may never have lived in much of Palestine. (I don't know how to find out one way or the other.) Wolves are family oriented, and deal directly with each other and rarely to excesses of violence. Many people I've met could learn something from their social behavior. BTW, if you look closely, you'll see my wolf has a book in the avi. The fuller pic (cropped for the avatar) shows it's cradled in his paws.
