  2. "This is gonna replace CD's soon; guess I'll have to buy The White Album again." "You see this? Huh?! N-Y-P-D! Means I will kNock Your Punkass Down!"
  3. I thought you were being a gentleman and letting me get it since I was so close. :)
  4. If this is Voyager, you can post the entire script and I still won't get it. I haven't seen much of that series or Enterprise.

  6. Wolf/dog mixes are not trainable like dogs-they combine the wolf nature with an unpredictable element from the dog. This doesn't mean he's untrainable- no animal is untrainable. However, this is not an easy task. I would read up on wolves for some insight. If you can "see things from a wolf's perspective", you can figure out what he wants, and maybe work something out. From what you said, he wants his trophies. Possibly you can set up a wolf-den for him, and socialize him to associate that with "his spot", where he can relax and play with anything he wants. (Maybe he'd leave the rest of the area neater.) I knew someone who "owned a wolf", and it socialized well- about as well as a dog. That's an incredible exception-not a rule. (This wolf was allowed indoors in winter, which should tell you how well he was socialized to that home.)
  7. It's on my "To-do" list. As soon as I can figure out when to see it.
  8. vpw: "Finally, my brethren, be strong in VP Wierwille." crowd:"No." vpw:"Say it LOUDER!" crowd:"NO!" vpw:"That's right. You're not strong in VP Wierwille. Many of you have heard God's Word through my ministry, but I didn't die for you." (shouted from offsides):"It was Jesus Christ!" vpw:"You said it man!" There were times-like then, like in ROA 77, when he covered Hebrews 13, when vpw claimed we were to look to Jesus Christ, and not to himself or any other leader. I think this was correct to say. "OK, let it be so and let us take him at his word on that and be strong in the Lord." I agree.
  9. Depends on where and when the class was run. I was a fulltime student when I took that class. And I was an EXCELLENT note-taker. (Well, it was "my job.") So, when Session I began, I had the syllabus, a large-print Bible, and a book to take notes in all on my lap, and I successfully juggled all three until the first pause. At that point, the person running the class let me know I could take the notes in the syllabus. (Which worked better for everyone.) Taking notes was one way I kept awake through the whole thing. In fact, I also got other people taking notes in later classes for the same reason. ("Professional student.") Then again, in NYC, things didn't really conform so closely to the expected standard. (That's why almost everyone IN NYC left when lcm drew his line in the sand in 1989.) It wouldn't surprise me if the remainder started banning that practice in the 1990s. Locally, we had it SO much better than in most of your areas. One guy I know, his class, they were told to write down their questions before session 1 began- questions they wanted answered. After session 12, the questions were gone over, and most of them had been touched on during the class. (His question: What about the dinosaurs? Session 6.) Then again, when conforming corps were placed here, their efforts were a lot like kicking a bale of cotton- the impression went away as soon as you moved your foot. :)

  12. It's completely new to me. Offhand, I'm slower to believe this one than, say, Raphael Gasson's personal accounts in "the Challenging Counterfeit", since I'm able to contextualize his claims in a non-contradictory framework. Or, to put it differently, I can buy a spiritualist leaving spiritualism for Christ would be harassed by demons that would try to possess him, involuntarily doing what they did before. I can't buy 48 people being given diseases by demons. Not without a whole additional framework I see no reason to add- except "I want to believe them", of course. Your Mileage May Vary.
  13. The impression I've gotten is that some corps and/or higher-ups had a bigger problem with men who were Spouse Corps, i.e., "If you were a REAL man, you've have gone Corps!" Was this experienced, or is this just they way I've read the posts?
  14. Oh, it gets worse than that. As you know, that was to cover the alcohol-breath from all his drinking. So, he would put a mint in his mouth, break it open in his mouth, and use the freshly-broken mint to cover the alcohol reek. So, eventually, he complained that he couldn't find a normal mint to put in his mouth- that at the lectern, they were all broken up. When someone said they did that because he said he broke mints, he clarified that he broke them in his MOUTH. I can't find the original post this second, but it's here somewhere. So, it wasn't even the way vpw liked it. It was done like the famous old story about cutting the end of the ham off, which-ironically- I first heard in twi.
  15. Here's how some of the quotes went.... "How do you spell that, 'Honkey'?' "Uh, 'Y,T'!" " 'Y,T'?" "Yeah! Say it again!" "Y,T, Y,T'..." "Whitey!" Fred giving a police report to Officer Swanson, "Swanny", who was Caucasian, and extremely straight-lace and un-hip. "You said that two of them held you, and one of them beat you. What about the fourth man?" "That's the one that yelled 'Get him.'" Fred claimed Lamont's fragile new collection was STOLEN rather than admit he broke it. So, he invented an entire police report to give them. Swanny was getting all the details down. "Watch it, sucka." Aunt Esther said this a LOT. "The fungus is among us!" "You can say that again!" From the episode Fred tried to do a tax scam by declaring his house/business a church, but discovered the overseeing body was a scam.... "Who you calling ugly, sucka?" "I'm calling you ugly. I could push your face in some dough and make gorilla cookies." Fred and Aunt Esther. (IRL, Redd Foxx and LaWanda Page were good friends, and he recommended her for this part.) "Come on and hear, come on and hear, Alexander's Ragtime Band!" When Fred tried to break the world's record for staying awake, Bubba was one of his helpers. Bubba would sing to jostle him. Bubba only knew one song. So he kept singing this line all through the episode. "I want my Daddy's records." Fred donated some vinyl records to a library, then discovered they were collectibles, especially some "Blind Mellow Jelly" records. Bubba posed as one performer's son, and they tried to scam the library into handing them over. Bubba's only line was this one. "Come on-eat a table, run through a tree, do something!" Grady met a martial arts black belt, and the guy just stood there, so Grady wanted to see some parlor trick. (Some of what the guy said made sense, but when he showed what a martial artist would do in a fight, he stopped for several seconds to warm up, which is just ridiculous.) "The wrath of God will strike you down!" "This Louisville Slugger will knock you out!" My favourite exchange between Aunt Esther and Fred G. Sanford. "You fish-eyed heathen!" Yes, Aunt Esther had several things she'd call Fred-this was the most common. "Fish-eyed fool" was another. ======== Redd Foxx was a stage-name for an actor- his birth-name was Fred Sanford Junior. He was nicknamed "Little Red" once for his hair. The actor had an unusual death. He had a heart attack in front of friends. They were so used to him faking heart attacks it took several seconds to realize he was having a real heart attack. Go, George!
