[Here we go again...] [Compare that statement of WTH's to this statement from ] http://www.vho.org/Intro/GB/index.html "The word "Revisionism" is derived from the Latin word "revidere," which means to view again. The revision of long held theories is entirely normal. It occurs in the natural sciences as well as the social sciences, to which the discipline of history belongs.Science is not a static condition. It is a process, specifically the creating of knowledge by searching for evidence." [When I have more time, I'll see about what else I can find he's plagiarized in this post... Quoted so I have a reference copy for later-in case the original post's plagiarized sections suffer a sudden edit and mysteriously disappear.... Have a nice morning, everyone!

That website says the writer there studied math and physics. He doesn't seem to have even STUDIED Sociology much (if at all), let along achieved any degree with it. Where did "according to some socialogists" come in? If someone had said this in the CFS class, there at least would have been a pretext to show some of the live classes that sex-with-the-dog video. Since he never studied zoology or veterinary medicine, however, I'm hesitant to consider JM as any sort of expert on dogs, so I'm not sure how authoritative his webpage is on them.

Here's how the quotes ran. "You sir, are a freako!" "Why, thank you!" Sam the Eagle, and Alice Cooper. "You don't love me any more." "Of course I love you. I'm working now!" "And you're making a lousy job of it." "You want to be an ex-parrot?" John Cleese and a parrot. "On what grounds do you interrupt my soliloquy?" "Well, it's my coffee break." "Coffee grounds??" Christopher Reeve, doing a soliloquy from Hamlet (alas, poor Yorick) when Beauregard walks in with a thermos and lunchpail, and sits down. "I thought you were the only person on this show who wasn't crazy." "Me, not crazy? I hired the others." I forget which guest, with Kermit. "Hey Bo, I've got a job for you!" "Oh, good." "Yeah. Just look at this mess." "Okay, that sounds easy enough." Kermit and another muppet. "Sometimes I don't know what space you are coming from." "Well, it's just a regular backstage space." "I gurgle Gershwin!" All the old Star Wars fans should remember this one. It was said a few times in the episode guested by Mark Hamill. Mark Hammill as himself, Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, Anthony Daniels as C-3PO, and Peter Mayhew as Chewbacca (plus the Radio-Controlled version of R2D2) appeared in that one. 2 different characters, an auditioning gargoyle, and Mark Hamill as himself, said this line- and, later, gurgled Gershwin. As a duet. I SWEAR I am not making this up. You see Mark Hamill gurgle Gershwin once as a kid, and it stays with you whether you want it to or not... "Uh, ladies and gentlemen, Switzerland has given us some watches, some chocolate, and some silliness. And, we take you now to the Alps for the latter." "Well, do you see. I don't mind assisting, but I'm not crazy about the idea of guinea-pigging." I forget which guest, to Dr Bunson Honeydew, Muppet Labs. "What's all this smoke?" "Uh... that is not smoke." "It is not smoke? Then what is it?" "It's jet exhaust." "Jet exhaust?" "Oh, look out! Here comes another one!" "Hey, hey, what's this bummer called again?" "Minuet in G Major." "Uh, we'll send it back in to the minors." The band on one song. "If you are like me, and you certainly must be, you are appalled and shocked at the weird, unnatural things going on tonight." Sam the Eagle, when Vincent Price guest-starred. "What's the soup du jour?" "Same as yesterday." "Good, I'll have that and a chicken." "How do you want your chicken? Baked, broiled, or barbecued?" "I want the chicken for company!" I thought this would be THE giveaway. Gonzo socializes with chickens. AFAIK, he's the only character on tv who ever made a point of it. "what is on stage next?" "I don't know, what's on stage now?" "Nothing." "NOTHING'S ON STAGE?" Kermit panicking that there's a lull onstage. This was one clue the show, whatever it was, was set at a theater. "I know what is wrong, with this show, it's the theater!" "What's wrong with it?" "The seats face the stage!" Who could forget Waldorf and Statler, the hecklers? "I am not in my dressing room, eating! I am in my dressing room, being eaten!" Zero Mostel having a small problem while a guest. "A banana sharpener." Dr Bunson Honeydew, Muppet Labs. This became SUCH a running gag for me long ago, because the scene was so funny. Honeydew was deadpanning how useful sharp bananas are. For example, you could hang a coat on a banana. Later, he began throwing bananas into the wall at Beeker, like a knife-throwing act. Plus, I think the name "banana sharpener" is one of the most ridiculous names for an invention I've ever heard of. And, it's hiway29's turn.

I knew one of you could figure it out!

"Trouble ahead, Lady in red, Take my advice you'd be better off dead." "Trouble with you is The trouble with me. Got two good eyes, but we still don't see"

There's something original about Mike misremembering and rewriting history in his mind? :blink: I've DOCUMENTED it before!

That wasn't your imagination-she clearly was thinking that and said as much. But not until after they bought the whole series. Lots of Christians read and recommended the series, giving her a lot of revenue. Now that they already spent the money, she's free to offend them. Mind you, I'd actually be less offended if she'd come out and said this in the actual books. Doing it NOW strikes me as particularly greasy, underhanded, dishonest. If she wanted to make a major character gay, this "oh, he secretly was all through the series, but now that you've all bought it, now I'm going to announce it" thing strikes me as disrespectful to the readers. It's like she wanted all the "benefits" of being "open-minded" and "politically-correct", but without taking the risks of offending "traditional values" readers and affecting the sales negatively. I find that distinctly lacking courage and CONVICTION. Oh, and if one's going to say "the signs were all there", an equally-strong argument can be made for almost anything else that didn't happen in the actual books. I thought she'd made DD's personal life more like Prospero's in The Tempest, who said "My library was dukedom large enough." It probably was the way she SNUCK THIS IN after the entire series was OVER. I've read stories with homosexual characters in them and liked the stories. Then again, that's hardly the same thing- these were marketed for youths, and the stories I read, the characters' sex lives (or lack thereof) were all in the stories, and not tacked on once the series was over.

Sorry, I'm holding out for a title.

Or another quote?

I'm thinking you DID see this, just not recently. I mean, review the quotes, and you'll have the format, the setting, and at least one character's identifying trait. I thought the last set included a giveaway.

I think the TIMING of this announcement is rather CONVENIENT. There's people who seem to think this was almost accidental, since a fan asked something related. Then again, some fans have romantically matched up nearly every character with every other character- the Marauders in particular have had that happen a lot, and Harry with just about every other character in the series, including Draco. (No, I haven't read any of those stories, that's plenty of information, thank you.) That anyone would ask about DD and relationships is expected. However, JKR just HAPPENED to answer this one once all the sales of Book 7 have happened, meaning there's now a lot of books that haven't been bought. Now is the first time this has actually come up from JKR, either in the books or interviews or her website. The timing just HAPPENS to be when she can make more money by taking copies of the books and selling them to a subculture that normally wasn't soaking up her books but NOW might suddenly begin buying up the paperbacks, the hardcovers.... I think that this announcement was carefully planned, and I resent the artifice that this was supposedly some offhand comment.

It's nothing recent.

Ok, I checked, and I was right, so, next song... "Trouble ahead, Lady in red, Take my advice you'd be better off dead."

"You sir, are a freako!" "Why, thank you!" "You don't love me any more." "Of course I love you. I'm working now!" "And you're making a lousy job of it." "You want to be an ex-parrot?" "On what grounds do you interrupt my soliloquy?" "Well, it's my coffee break." "Coffee grounds??" "I thought you were the only person on this show who wasn't crazy." "Me, not crazy? I hired the others." "Hey Bo, I've got a job for you!" "Oh, good." "Yeah. Just look at this mess." "Okay, that sounds easy enough." "Sometimes I don't know what space you are coming from." "Well, it's just a regular backstage space." "I gurgle Gershwin!" "Uh, ladies and gentlemen, Switzerland has given us some watches, some chocolate, and some silliness. And, we take you now to the Alps for the latter." "Well, do you see. I don't mind assisting, but I'm not crazy about the idea of guinea-pigging." "What's all this smoke?" "Uh... that is not smoke." "It is not smoke? Then what is it?" "It's jet exhaust." "Jet exhaust?" "Oh, look out! Here comes another one!" "Hey, hey, what's this bummer called again?" "Minuet in G Major." "Uh, we'll send it back in to the minors." "If you are like me, and you certainly must be, you are appalled and shocked at the weird, unnatural things going on tonight." "What's the soup du jour?" "Same as yesterday." "Good, I'll have that and a chicken." "How do you want your chicken? Baked, broiled, or barbecued?" "I want the chicken for company!" "what is on stage next?" "I don't know, what's on stage now?" "Nothing." "NOTHING'S ON STAGE?" "I know what is wrong, with this show, it's the theater!" "What's wrong with it?" "The seats face the stage!" "I am not in my dressing room, eating! I am in my dressing room, being eaten!" "A banana sharpener."

I suppose I should have more sympathy for WTH. After all, ultimately, he WANTS to play with the big boys, but he's outside his weight class. So, he tries to pretend he can keep up, by plagiarizing smarter-sounding words. He's tried to ape my posting style other times-as if function proceeds immediately from form. It's the sincerest of flattery, although otherwise unsuccessful. Having been unable to pass off the words of others as his own, he's unable to keep up. Therefore, he can quit the field, or attempt some deception. In this case, the deception is that OTHERS can't post without plagiarizing as well, as if HIS low standards are OUR standards. Also, an intellectual dishonesty in his own posts makes it easier to imagine dishonesty in others-or at least to PRETEND they are. Doesn't make anything he's doing right-it's deceptive, and dishonest. However, we can understand his desperation, and sympathize a bit.

Is this U-2's "One"?

Man says I was lying about having NEVER READ NIZKOR. Surely he can do better than that. I mean, most people can see the logical possibility that I might agree with someone's points in spite of never having heard them, by virtue of having looked at the same evidence, and coming to the same conclusions. Not WTH. With him, it's got to be some sort of coverup, some conspiracy. Just like the one invented about the Holocaust. Still has nothing to support his claim I'm lying. Sad, sad, sad. Impossible to parrot something you've never HEARD. Most people can understand that... He was already discredited, and my agreeing hardly was necessary. And this is all in the wrong thread. I was an average scientist in my high school. Even the AVERAGE student would have skipped those mistakes in lab class. They didn't have much choice if they wanted to pass. Unless his motive was other than just money. Some people have motives other than just money. Some people can figure that out. Typical WTH. Just invents a lie and expects people to believe it. If he ever used his mind, he'd probably drop dead from the shock. And all this, besides being inflammatory and useless, is in the wrong thread.

Voice-acting counts as acting for this thread. However, the rule of thumb is the movie aired in theaters at some time, which means direct-to-video doesn't count.

Oldiesman, apparently, is capable of understanding me when it suits him. As opposed to the misinterpretation whenever it does NOT suit him. So, we see it is DELIBERATE, and not accidental.

*reads* WTH doesn't understand the concept "proof." I quoted his post. There's an accusation, and an attempt to justify it, but not a shred of "proof." Sorry, I can't educate WTH as to what "proof" means. Sad to say, since he needs to learn. However, he does not WILL to learn, so he will retain his current error.

Let's not make excuses for someone, the sins the committed, and the temptations they accepted, marched into, and planned for. vpw did all of those, many times- he drugged women, he selected for the most emotionally-damaged women, he treated them-not as sisters in Christ, nor as women whom he had responsibility over, but as women he could have sex with. He cheated on his wife. And so on. Let's not make excuses for him. Lots of guys have had the CHANCE to molest women or rape them. Lots of guys DIDN'T sin. vpw made the choice to approach sin, and perform it. It was a sin for him to WANT to have sex with Maggie Muggins. It was a sin for him to PLAN to have sex with Maggie Muggins. It was a sin to SET UP A PLACE to have sex with Maggie Muggins. It was a sin to ARRANGE A TIME AND PLACE to have sex with Maggie Muggins. It was a sin to contrive to have Maggie Muggins arrive at that place. It was a sin to TRY to have sex with Maggie Muggins. It was a sin to HAVE sex with Maggie Muggins. That's not even addressing the druggings and coercion issues. vpw did the same thing over and over- he committed adultery, rape, and so on. He carefully planned, and carefully executed his plans. Shifting the blame for those careful plans continually is not right, morally, Biblically, legally, or any other way. Continuing to shift the blame for his sins off of vpw over and over is not healthy. Romans 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Cleaving to that which is evil, excusing a sinner and his chosen sins, abhorring the truth, is not healthy. Isaiah 5:20 (King James Version) 20Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe to them that take evil and call it "good"! God doesn't like it.

I've never READ NIZKOR. Hard to plagiarize something YOU'VE NEVER READ. Hard to repeat something YOU'VE NEVER READ. Thank you for playing, have a nice day! Hey, this is WTH we're talking about. If you take away other people's words and thoughts, and take away his ability to make up accusations out of whole cloth, what does he have left except large-print?

Neither have I, but someone finally posted a movie where I know ONE star and they didn't link THROUGH that star... Al Pacino the Devil's Advocate Keanu Reeves We haven't used either for the past page, right? (Correct me otherwise.)

If he cited his sources, it would be obvious that his only clever posts were cut-and-pasted from Holocaust denial websites. That would take most of what little relevance they had away from the posts. And he's not getting "hammered", his wrongful deeds are being exposed. That's one thing you can expect here at the GSC.
