  1. "Do you like scrambled eggs?" "What does that got to do with this?" "Where there's chickens, there's eggs." *smash* "That was a funny place to put a barn." "You try that fool stunt again and I'm gonna find a funnier place to put one." "Why don't you use some of that fancy stuff they taught you in the Marines?" "That's what he just used on me." "I still think what you need is a good scare, and the best way to do that is to eat the food here." "Well, how do you think I got the hiccups in the first place?" "Be ready to make the pick-up in exactly five minutes. Copy that?" "Check. Exactly five minutes. Give or take a minute 'cause I ain't got no watch." "We'll communicate on the emergency frequency!" "How bad is it?" "Real bad. If it was a horse, we'd have to shoot it." "Hey, when all this is over, I'm gonna adopt you two. "That might not be a very good idea. He'll eat you out of house and home." This was one if the rare tv shows that featured a character whose first name was "Beauregard."
  2. This is the series conclusion for Deep Space 9. NOT the last episode- it's the one where the Dominion War is finally concluded, Cardassia's liberated, losing the Dominion their Alpha Quadrant base, and the air-war is taken to its peak. Cisco meets with the Founders one last time, and convinces them to take an active step in the episode-by controlling the Wormhole. Am I right?
  3. Just checking-these all DID get airplay of some kind on some radio station, right?

  5. I still want to know what the idea is in naming a hospital show "House." If they make a show about a house, would they call it "Hospital"? Ok, let's see, I need a tv show...
  6. Finally remembered what I was reminded of when you asked about the mirror. The lyrics to a Rush song called "War Paint." The chorus goes "All puffed up with vanity We see what we want to see. For the beautiful and the wise The mirror always lies."
  7. I'm thinking that separating the person quoted from the quote is a good idea with this thread....
  8. That's not a RULE, but a general "rule-of-thumb" I came up with for myself. Seems most times I post something after 1986, I can post the whole song and nobody gets it. Around Halloween was the last time I tried to disregard my personal "rule", and we had about a week where I was posting songs nobody'd heard of.
  9. Between the IMDb listing and a Wikiquote page, I can usually find a lot of quotes, at least for more recent shows.
  10. The Bridge Builder Author: Will Allen Dromgoole An old man, going a lone highway, Came, at the evening, cold and gray, To a chasm, vast, and deep, and wide, Through which was flowing a sullen tide. The old man crossed in the twilight dim; The sullen stream had no fears for him; But he turned, when safe on the other side, And built a bridge to span the tide. "Old man," said a fellow pilgrim, near, "You are wasting strength with building here; Your journey will end with the ending day; You never again must pass this way; You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide- Why build you a bridge at the eventide?" The builder lifted his old gray head: "Good friend, in the path I have come," he said, "There followeth after me today, A youth, whose feet must pass this way. This chasm, that has been naught to me, To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be. He, too, must cross in the twilight dim; Good friend, I am building the bridge for him."
  11. Hello! I don't have all the answers, but I have a few, and I thought your post deserved some replies. So, forgive me if this doesn't seem to have helped. For a lot of people, it's not clear if they left or were forced out... twi was a pretty good place to be-if you were in the minority of the "Haves"-those with connections. If you were an insider, others covered your mistakes and so on. Most of us here were never in that inner cadre... twi was a good place to learn to fake godly phenomena, depending on where you were. As others mentioned, the OFFICIAL policy of twi was that homosexuality was wrong.Under lcm, that turned into "you will be ridiculed and belittled if you're even SUSPECTED to be gay", and a new label to slap on dissenters was invented -"homo sympathizer"- invented or promulgated by lcm himself. Unofficially, if you had connections, everyone looked the other way if you were gay, same as all the other stuff that OFFICIALLY was disapproved-like adultery and so on. At least one poster has claimed to have caught twi's current president in bed with someone of the same sex "while the crime was blazing", so to speak. As someone stated, the armbands were used at the ROA for id. When I was in, blue was pfal grads, red was outgoing wows, yellow was "haven't taken pfal", and white was "I turned my armband inside out to confuse people." Hope you enjoy your stay here.
  12. Yup. That was in the 90s, under the lcm regime. vpw made lcm twofold the child of hell that he himself was, remember. lcm made his own foundational class, etc. When each class was finished, the students were ASSIGNED to write letters about how great it was, using specifics. Those were then used at hq to legitimize the class, as if they were unsolicited testimonials. In short, it DID get that hokey.
  13. Oh, and please pass the link along to someone...
  14. http://www.freerice.com/ Play a game, and people get fed. The advertisers pay for the food. On your end, it's that simple. Snopes vetted this one: http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/charity/freerice.asp
  15. Then again, if my front door was open and anyone COULD walk in, I wouldn't be in my skivvies. I don't need Father to tell me that wasn't prudent.
  16. If you think it's fine for a church leader to show a pornographic scene from a pornographic movie to people in a leadership-training program, you might be in a cult. If you think it's fine for a church leader to show a pornographic scene from a pornographic movie to people in a class on Christian families, you might be in a cult. If you think it's worthwhile for a church leader to put together a class on "sex" for his congregation, and include stills from pornographic movies and descriptions of bestiality, you might be in a cult. If you think it's fine for a church leader to own a pornographic pen and show it to youngsters he's teaching, you might be in a cult. If you think it's fine for a church leader to be married and come on to other women, you might be in a cult. If you hear that a church leader came on to other women, and you're primary response was "he was trying to toughen them up spiritually", you might be in a cult.
  17. I believe we all did- we paid for its upkeep, maintenance, equipment, etc. not to mention all the people who worked there for free- no, wait-they PAID to work there!
  18. Matthew 13:55-57 (New American Standard Bible) 55"Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? 56"And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?" Mark 6:2-3 (New American Standard Bible) 2When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue; and the many listeners were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get these things, and what is this wisdom given to Him, and such miracles as these performed by His hands? 3"Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are not His sisters here with us?" And they took offense at Him. Do I think Mary and Joseph had kids together? Sure. I'm pretty confident about that. Do I think they were considered Jesus' brothers and sisters? I'm pretty confidant about that, too. Some people don't count ADOPTED children as "really" children, but-unless one is talking about genetics and inherited genes-I beg to differ. And that's with NO parents in common. Some people disagree. Good for them.
  19. CORRECT! Which makes it your turn. Here's where the quotes fit. "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death..." "You want to walk a little faster through that valley there?" Jack to someone 1/2 blocking his path, as the ship was sinking. "What's the use? Nobody's listening to us anyway." "Well, they didn't listen to us at dinner either." The musicians, trying to play to lower panic during the evacuation. "Gentlemen, it has been a privilege playing with you tonight." The last line of one of the musicians, as they finish playing. "I make my own luck." "So do I." Probably the line that gave Ca the answer. Rose's fiancee and that detective-guy, as one has a gun in his pocket, the other the diamond. "Everything he knows is wrong." Decades later, commenting on what the captain "knows"- he's presuming the ship can steer and corner enough to dodge anything it sees- so he has it go full speed into water known to have icebergs, but the ship's rudder is too small, and the ship masses to much, to make sharp turns like he's expecting.

  21. The routines I've liked best were the hat routine, mentioned above, the routine where Lou supposedly has no idea how to gamble with dice, and the audition where Lou sang "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean".... Is there anyone who doesn't like their most famous "Who's on First?" http://www.angelfire.com/movies/budandlou/Dice.txt That's the text for the dice-game, when Bud was supposed to hustle Lou, and Lou was supposed to be the pigeon being hustled. The audition is mostly visual, and you'd miss too much.
  22. No, and I'm glad I did this one. then. I thought it was too easy. (I actually could have gotten it from quote 2 or 3, but then, I'm eccentric...)
  23. I know this is a DS9 episode-I recognize the Tennyson reference, but I don't remember the episode yet...
