I first heard about it when discussing the famous "it's a cookbook" line with someone- who then said it was used in "Madagascar." The lemurs were used to the fossa attacking them, and one lemur held up a book titled "To Serve Lemurs" and announced, in horror, "it's a cookbook!" BTW, the monkey that uses sign language-he's using REAL sign language. When asked to read a shipping label for some penguins, the speaking monkey says it says "ship to..." but the signs begin "'Tell the tiny pea-brained birds that the sign reads: Ship to ...'"

"We've been ratted out, boys." "We killed them and ate their livers!" "It's been a pleasure serving with you, boys." "All hail the New York Giants!" "I see twenty-six blatant health code violations. TWENTY-SEVEN!!" "Grand Central Station. It's Grand... and it's Central." "Dagnabbit! I missed the express! Looks like I have to take the Stamford local." "It's a cookbook!" "I like them, I like them! I liked them first! Before I even met them I liked them! As soon as I met them I liked them right away! You hate them compared to how much I like them!" "Oh shut up, you're so annoying!"

It's neither the recent "Hitchhiker's" movie, nor the BBC one from back when.

Probably the simple mistake of "reading fast" would be the reason it seems that way.

The first line DOES evoke Batman, and IMHO, was meant to be a shout-out. This is neither Batman nor The Untouchables.

Close enough. "Not Fade Away." AFAIK, it's a Buddy Holly song. -
A) If you were new like Jeff Sjo, I'd buy that you don't know what's in Mrs W's book. We've discussed them for YEARS, on and off, around here. Unless you've been trying VERY HARD to avoid its contents, I can't buy you're truly ignorant of it. B) If you had been away for weeks, I'd buy that you don't know the contents of the relevant threads, and what was officially published by twi in books. As it is, I'd be hard-pressed to buy that it's anything other than a coy pretense. If you want to say something outright, try actually saying it. This "saying it without saying it" doesn't look honest, and reflects poorly on the poster.

Can't "message" you about it until you set your account to accept messages... Hey-looks like you were right again. Instead of addressing this, they changed the subject and pretended you didn't bring up anything Mrs W brought up. Which is consistent, because they pretend she didn't bring it up either. Watch:
-
BTW, Jeff, I don't know if you know this, but your "accept personal messages" option is switched off, so nobody can send you a private message. If you don't want this, please switch it on.

"Don't know where you're goin', only know just where you've been, Sweet little baby, I want you again."

Well, go ahead and take it... -
I channel-surfed past "Twins". I didn't see any of the quotes, but it put the name in my head while I was trying to remember who said that line.
-
Care to put another quote? (I try to update about every 24 hours, myself...)
-
*snaps* I've got the voice. It's TWINS, isn't it?

Here's what I kept confusing dooj's post with.... "I´m a gonna tell ya how it´s gonna be" This has been covered, BTW, so there's more than one artist, for the curious. -
Not directly related to the thread's subject, BUT related to this post, anyone ELSE ever notice that vpw made fun of people "lifting up holy hands" during taped pfal, then discover that the practice was in I Timothy 2:8? (This happened with him and comments at ROAs about "waiting on the Lord", too.) ======== Oh, and I'm glad coolchef ASKED and others ANSWERED. I think it's good to look these things over and make evaluations one way or the other.

"I Want to Bang on the Drum All Day"? Used to hear that every Friday afternoon. -
Well, you picked the right season for this one. I was wondering why I haven't heard anyone play this one yet in stores. "Snoopy's Christmas." Snoopy vs the Red Baron, over Christmas.
-
*thinks* I KNOW I've heard that first one somewhere.....

Welcome. Most of the people hear are nice people. There's a sticky topic pinned up top, and I recommend you look it over if you haven't already. It's got a welcome in it. There's a variety of opinions, and a variety of people here. That's what happens when people are allowed the freedom to think for themselves. (Or to refrain from thinking for themselves, as the case may be.) Mostly, that's healthy here. Keep in mind NOBODY's the "typical" poster here. Enjoy your stay. We have discussions that are serious, or jokes, or somewhere in between.

Somehow, I have trouble buying that one, as well...

Ok, 7 days, can we move this along, Tom?

Acts 16:16-18 (King James Version) 16And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: 17The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. 18And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour. Acts 16:16-18 (NASB) 16It happened that as we were going to the place of prayer, a slave-girl having a spirit of divination met us, who was bringing her masters much profit by fortune-telling. 17Following after Paul and us, she kept crying out, saying, "These men are bond-servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation." 18She continued doing this for many days. But Paul was greatly annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!" And it came out at that very moment. ========== I say this was old news long before that. II Chronicles 18:4-23 (KJV) 4And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day. 5Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of prophets four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the king's hand. 6But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might enquire of him? 7And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he never prophesied good unto me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so. 8And the king of Israel called for one of his officers, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla. 9And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat either of them on his throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat in a void place at the entering in of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them. 10And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith the LORD, With these thou shalt push Syria until they be consumed. 11And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king. 12And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one assent; let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of their's, and speak thou good. 13And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak. 14And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand. 15And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the LORD? 16Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master; let them return therefore every man to his house in peace. 17And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good unto me, but evil? 18Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I saw the LORD sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left. 19And the LORD said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one spake saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner. 20Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will entice him. And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? 21And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do even so. 22Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil against thee. 23Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah upon the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee? ========= And here's how I broke that down.... Let's look it over. " 4And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day. 5Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of prophets four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the king's hand. 6But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might enquire of him?" Wow, 400 "personal prophets", and not one of the LORD among them. "7And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he never prophesied good unto me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so. " Ohh, what a bad boy that Michaiah is! He's always speaking all those negatives! He must never have learned that Godly communications are REQUIRED to be all cheerful and light, never saying anything bad, never warning about problems, never exposing evil, and never confronting evil. " 8And the king of Israel called for one of his officers, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla. 9And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat either of them on his throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat in a void place at the entering in of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them. " Wow, they got the full act. " 10And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith the LORD, With these thou shalt push Syria until they be consumed." Zedekiah really knows how to wow an audience. He's got flair and drama in play while he delivers his personal prophecy. " 11And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king. 12And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one assent; let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of their's, and speak thou good. 13And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak." That Micaiah is NOT a team player. He also doesn't know about tailoring his message to the audience like the 400 other guys. " 14And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand. 15And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the LORD? 16Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master; let them return therefore every man to his house in peace. 17And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good unto me, but evil? " Real prophets risk their lives giving messages they know the people won't want, and accept they are set at naught and despised for it. REAL prophets don't get cushy jobs. " 18Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I saw the LORD sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left. 19And the LORD said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one spake saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner. 20Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will entice him. And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? 21And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do even so. 22Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil against thee. " So, we see there are 2 ways to be a personal prophet. One is to speak words from one's own self and claim they are of God, the other is to speak words from a lying spirit and claim they are of God. " 23Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah upon the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee? " That Zedekiah knows how to keep his stage-act up. Even exposed, he's trying to discredit a REAL prophet and claim he HIMSELF speaks the truth. =================== As someone else pointed out, God gave a very simple standard- and a very simple consequence- for telling TRUE prophets and words from God, from personal prophets and words from other-than-God. Deuternomy 18:20-22. (KJV) " 20But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. 21And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? 22When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him." For those of you who missed it, here it is in the NASB. " 20But the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in My name which I have not commanded him to speak, or which he speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die. 21You may say in your heart, 'How will we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?' 22When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing does not come about or come true, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him. " This is very simple. If a prophet speaks a prophecy, and ANY prophecy he speaks fails, he is a false prophet. If 99.999% of his prophecies come true, and 1 in 100,000 fails, he is a false prophet. What were they to do with false prophets? They were to kill them a lot. Thus, prophets whose prophecies "USUALLY" or "OFTEN" were accurate, but OCCASIONALLY fail are false prophets and should be killed. As we've all seen, even people trying to justify the utterances of the CES/STFI "personal prophetess" have said she's not accurate 100% of the time, which the Bible says makes her a FALSE prophet, and Israel was supposed to kill those. Fine, we don't kill them in the US. We don't even slap them in the face. We can AT THE VERY LEAST follow GOD'S injunction and not respect them any more. And I still want to know why their entire organization needs an anonymous outsider like me to explain all this when they've had over a decade to work it out. If I was a supporter of CES/STFI, I'd have some burning questions concerning the management of the group, and just how well they really understand the Bible if they could make mistakes of this magnitude.
