  1. That will be 1 Our Father, 2 Hail Marys, and an Act of Contrition.
  2. Excuse me? The PREVIOUS one was a freebie. It's now my turn. I CAN get a few hours to post, right?
  3. "I Saw Her Standing There", the 4 lads from Liverpool.
  4. That looks like a quote. Isn't this a thread for vague descriptions?
  5. "Now do you think you can beat The Champ?" "I can take him blindfolded." "What if he's not blindfolded?" "I can still beat him."
  6. If you put it THAT way.... "CHALLENGE OF the Super-Friends." "Super-Friends" had the kids as Wendy, Marvin and Wonder Dog. And a cameo appearance by Plastic-Man. "Challenge of" had the kids as Zan, Jayna and space-monkey Gleek. And the politically-correct additions Black Vulcan, and Samurai. Not to mention Apache Chief. "INUK-CHUK!" (Can you still hear the sound-effect?) If I'm right, give me up to 24 hours for the next one.
  7. Some links to discussions on this... http://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/index.php?showtopic=4379 http://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/index.php?showtopic=4582 http://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/index.php?showtopic=3984 http://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/index.php?showtopic=9164 http://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/index.php?showtopic=9971 http://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/index.php?showtopic=12486 http://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/index.php?showtopic=13052 http://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/index.php?showtopic=14891 http://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/index.php?showtopic=15370 http://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/index.php?showtopic=15519
  8. I finally figured out what you've been up to lately! You were...fishing....weren't you, Johnny?
  9. "No way out. No way out. No way out. No way out." Leo Bloom, right after the show was a success. "Achtung, baby!" LSD, improvising a line. "Hitler does not SAY 'Achtung, baby!'" U-2 named one of their albums for this line, "Achtung, Baby". === So, ANYONE can post the next one.
  10. About the guns, there's a lot I'm not sure about. What I DO know, is that vpw claimed (in TW:LiL) that some people tried to kill him in twi's early days, but he never said more than that-who, when, why... In the POP, cg said he told vpw that he'd been prepared to stop assassination attempts and act as a human shield against bullets for vpw, as if vpw was the US President and cg was the Secret Service. I'd wonder about it, but I've heard vpw was fine with people playing "Hail to the Chief" when he entered a room....
  11. Felt discussing dogs at HQ meant this should be bumped up...
  12. He was still performing as of ROA '89, but he wasn't putting as much work into it. I had heard he left in 1990, but that was hearsay and word-of-mouth. It appears this was wrong.
  13. "No way out. No way out. No way out. No way out." "Achtung, baby!"
  14. I've gone over this over the years. I have some conclusions. A) I believe the messages God gave Paul were meant to tell Paul "Don't go to Jerusalem." B) I believe the commas issue was clever but false. I believe they knew that Paul was going into danger, but they gave up and put the entire mess into God's hands. Incorrect: "And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased saying 'the will of the Lord be done.' " Meaning, whe we couldn't persuade him, we stopped trying to get him to to the will of the Lord. Incorrect: what's taught as the meaning of "And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, 'the will of the Lord be done.'" Meaning, you wanted to do God's will all along, we won't try to interfere with that anymore. What I think happened: God tried to warn Paul off. Paul insisted on going anyway. Luke and the others tried to talk Paul into not-going. Paul insisted on going anyway. They said "We put this in God's hands from here on." ======= As to Paul's effectiveness once he's arrested, I find he was LESS effective in prison than if he was not in prison. However, vpw's claim about him being INeffective was a gross exaggeration and an oversimplification. One need only read the book of Philemon to see that. One need only read the Epistles written from prison. What would we do if they weren't there? Would there be different books from different times and locations? I think God would have covered it, one way or the other. So, I haven't just dismissed everything because vpw said it, nor accept everything because he said it.
  15. Just wanted to mention.... I did a search for such an article, and no such article came up. A search on ""vatican" "aircraft carrier" "hampton roads" "safety" "pope" showed 132 webpages, but none of them was related to this story.
  16. Lindyhopper told this story a few times..... ====== "Funny story. We are in the corp relo tent or something and we are discussing with the Rev. Ander___ on where they can go. It came down to either Dallas, TX as BC as they were before in FL or twig coor. in the town I was now in. The rev was our elder corps while we were in residence . So we were down. Well he goes to talk things over or go abroad or something and it was taking him a while to get back with us. Meanwhile, we are standing waiting and talking about their options when one Rev. J Rumproast came over and asked us if he could help. They told him their deal and how they couldn't decide what would be best. So, He pulls out a coin and says this "This is how we do it in the back... Heads, it?s Dallas, tails it?s B-more. He smiles as though he is kind of joking but totally serious as though he had been inspired by God to do this. It was heads! Praise the Lord! Right about the time everyone is shaking hands and saying our goodbyes to Rev. Rump the Rev. Ander-son-of-a comes walking back in. He is ....ed. He obviously saw some of what went on but insted of yelling at the rump he yells at my parents. To my suprise, my OSD (ol step dad) yells back. I was about to ****e myself. This was Ander-son-of-a--, not some snot-nosed kid. Guess who won? They didn't go to Dallas they went to try and B-more in B-more." =========
  17. One search on all usages of the word "dart" in the ATW forum later..... ChasUFarley, Jul 23 2007, 11:16 PM, said: "First time I went out WOW - it was the 2nd wave, from the 1989 Anniverary at HQ - there were maybe about 20-25 people going out... Anyhow, I remember learning that we wouldn't be told where we were going until the ceremony... I asked someone how did they know where to send us... (We were in the WOW Auditorium at the time, on the second floor, looking at the large relief map on the wall...) I remember he said, "See that map there? Well, they take darts and throw them at that wall. When the dart sticks - THAT's where you're goin'!" (I believed him for 'bout 30 seconds - wide-eyed (hey, I was only 18, okay?!) then he started laughing his fanny off....) ha ha" Thread name: "What was the REAL reason for not telling you where you were going until minutes before hand?" http://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/index.php?showtopic=14896 The thread's two pages, but there's some VERY interesting posts on page one... ================
  18. And the internet is a series of tubes. Based on the second quote, I'd say this is "The Shadow."
  19. Ok, the Stardates mean this is TOS. Spock's suggested in one quote. I'm reasonably sure I've SEEN this at some point, but it's been so long I'm having trouble working out the quotes. But I should take a guess. *wild swing* "The Lights of Zetar"?
  20. http://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/index.php?showtopic=9569 "Today is the anniversary of what turned out to be the beginning of the end of The Way International, the public release of PASSING OF A PATRIARCH...." Hey, Radar! Good to see you! http://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/index.php?showtopic=8483 http://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/index.php?showtopic=9486
