  1. One of the more heartwarming thoughts I've had in the past few days was my musing of Rozilla's choices. This is how they got the archaic expression "hold a wolf by the ears". See, if you've got a wolf by the ears, you can't tell if it would be more dangerous to LET GO or to HOLD ON, so either option is bad. Rosa-lie has whispered, backstabbed and brownnosed her way to the top at twi..... ...and is getting old, and probably ALREADY needs some of the bodyservants she has waiting on her and acting as butlers, maids, etc. Keep up with even the basic day-to-day activities on campus? Driver herself there and back, and run all her own errands? Hardly! She's got people housekeeping for her on twi's dime, cooking for her on twi's dime, running errands, and other stuff I'm not privy to-plus whatever healthcare plan they've suddenly enlisted the aid of now that she needs some (interesting timing.) Every month, though, the truth is creeping up on her. She's not quite as sharp as she was, can't quite get around like she did..... ...and that sound you here is the music as the sharks circle the boat... ..you can see the fins even now...... So, does she try and stay in office until she's suddenly incapacitated? Does she stay there until she declines and is FORCED out? Does she try and arrange for some alternative- and rely on the mercy of twi? They learned FROM HER that it was appropriate to kick Mrs W out of her home and into a nursing home when she was no longer needed-does she really think that they'll do any more for her? Oh, no, she backstabbed her way to the top, and she knows that behind the back of EVERYONE around her is a sharp knife, concealed until she's not paying attention.... ...you can hear the music, can't you?
  2. "She's too busy getting hold of the Husbands." "How many husbands are there?" "Six." "Six?" "One of the Husbands is a girl." "One of the husbands is a girl?" "Yes. That's Murray Husband. Then there is, uh, Donny Husband...." "I am speaking here to Mr 'Frederick Forsythe Scuttle, DBTC'. DBTC?" "Don't bend the card!" *snatches card* "Throw open wide your window, dear!" "What are you doing on my launching pad? You're not allowed on my launching pad without a launching voucher." "My card." "There's nothing on it." "Oh." *flips card over* "What'd you write it on the back for? 'Henry Mac Gee.' Are you Egyptian? 'Scientific Correspondent'. Sir, I don't need a correspondent. I've never even THOUGHT about divorce. MURDER, but not DIVORCE." "I work for Thames Television." "You poor soul!" "Captain Scuttle, why are you doing this?" "I am doing this to prove that we are not washed up- that Britain still leads the world in scientific endeavours and precision engineering." *clang* "The Russians and the Americans have been up on the moon with their rockets. The Chinese don't need one-they can stand on each others' shoulders. We will go into the outer reaches of the solar plexus, in that- Indestructible the Second!" "What happened to Indestructible the First?" "It fell apart."

  4. Right. I won't ask for the artist. Your turn!
  5. "We took a bow and made a stand, started swinging with the hand."
  6. Swing and a miss. In general, I try to avoid anything with Bea Arthur in it.
  7. "You can't hide your lying eyes..." The Eagles.
  8. I'll run the next one, then. "She's too busy getting hold of the Husbands." "How many husbands are there?" "Six." "Six?" "One of the Husbands is a girl." "One of the husbands is a girl?" "Yes. That's Murray Husband. Then there is, uh, Donny Husband...."
  9. Actually, it was LAST NIGHT at 12:30am. I caught it by chance. Forgot that 12:01am is "the previous night". Oh, well. Someone still caught a number of the callbacks in chat.
  10. Correct. Simon Tarses was 1/4 Romulan, not 1/4 Vulcan, and Nora Satie seized on that to accuse him of conspiracy. As it turned out, the "sabotage" was simple structural failure, and when Picard got on her to stop looking for a conspiracy when there was none, he was added to her list of suspects. I didn't even get to the best quotes yet. Go, George!
  11. "Villains who twirl their mustaches are easy to spot. Those who clothe themselves in good deeds are well-camouflaged." "The first time any man's freedom is trodden on we’re all damaged."
  12. Steve Guttenberg Short Circuit Ally Sheedy
  13. "Villians who twirl their mustaches are easy to spot. Those who clothe themselves in good deeds are well-camouflaged."
  14. Does anyone want to try and meet in chat for it? If we can manage it, we can watch it together and do the callbacks and stuff!
  15. Actually, it would not be CALLED "in tongues", but something like that isn't so hard to think out, whether or not you experience it. I pieced it together before the Advanced class, but it comes up there. (Here's my explanation.) We perceive things via our 5 senses. That's how we receive and process information about the world around us. So, God can-and seems to-relate information to us in forms like our 5 senses. So, God gives us revelation (some of it) in a form that is LIKE sight, hearing, smell, taste, or touch. It seems to be the best explanation for when Jesus referred to a FOUL spirit-the devils smelled bad to him. Mind you, that might be ENTIRELY DIFFERENT from what you're describing, Roy, since one is sent by God, and the other seems to be you attempting to sense one way or another. Some of that actually sounded like using your skin and flesh to sense in ways it CAN but normally is not used to do, like sensing a heat signature or something. But, I thought you'd like the information.
  16. "Little Green Men." Quark, Rom and Nog end up crashing at Roswell back when. Then they try to swindle a business deal with paranoid US military types, which backfires... The first 3 things, Quark knew from his bar, of course. 'Atom bombs' he overheard from the soldiers!
  17. The group name was "Pilot." Song takes you back, no? It takes me back as far as I can remember listening to the radio! Your turn, Bluezman!
  18. The audience callbacks will vary from city to city and over time. However, here's the best set I found online. http://www.badmovies.org/movies/rockyhorro...ience_pg01.html
  19. So then it was his, then my turn. :) "Leaning on my pillow in the morning light"
  20. Ok, dress code for those not in character, first time... IMHO, it should lean into the comfortable and casual (there's movement, and you'll probably get some water on you.) Black is good when deciding between 2 colours. Thus, black jeans are recommended-wear from me. For the most part, "virgins" will just follow the action. (Don't block the aisle, don't block the area in front of a used seat- since both will be used.) If you study anything in advance, make it the chorus of the TimeWarp- and its accompanying steps. Once the movie starts, you'll be getting up for the TimeWarp, and that's it. The TimeWarp comes a few minutes after "there's a light..." The order of your props should be worked out so you don't have to fish them out. A) The rice B) The watergun (with water) C) the newspaper D) the lighter-use a FLASHLIGHT, since the lighter is used with the newspaper (IMHO, fire hazard) E) when using the lighter/flashlight, watch for when to switch it ON and OFF. F) put them all down, now comes the TimeWarp. G) Lab. Snap the rubber gloves. H) Party stuff-noisemakers, whatever. Jingling keys work here. I) Toilet paper. J) Toast. K) Party hats. L) Cards (for sorrow and pain) I THINK that's the order. Keep in mind the props thru the TimeWarp seem to be more important. Try and follow everything. You're watching a movie that's a take-off on the old Science Fiction Double Features, and as such, only makes sense that way. You'll see mad scientists, and people from another planet, and so on. And there's a Narrator. And the audience banters with all of them. Please note the consistent insults every time the full names for Brad and Janet are said. or when they're being introduced to characters. (You'll pick it up early enough.) The audience callouts change from city to city. In NYC, you'll ALWAYS hear the ORIGINAL callout ("Buy an umbrella..."), but in other cities (like Boston), they don't use that one, for example. Also, people may invent a new one that may just be used now, if it's timely. Eventually, some become regular use locally. Mostly, it's silly, and stupid, and a lot of fun. Do NOT take yourself seriously. Especially at the very beginning, which will be explained at the time. And varies somewhat from city to city.
  21. "Do the Locomotion." I don't know who did the original, but Kylie Minogue did a cover, which counts.
  22. Wild guess. Was this the musical episode of "Buffy"?
  23. "There's only one kind of woman..." "Or man, for that matter–" "You either believe in yourself or you don't." "Incorrect." "Blast that tin-plated POT!!"
  24. pawnbroker, you're holding up the movie thread. I'll confirm this one's right, so it's your turn on BOTH threads. Please post one on both.
  25. You left out the backup singers, the Crypt Kickers! Yes, Frankenstein invented a dance-craze. I had "Bride of Frankenstein" playing in the background, so the song was easy to think of. Your turn. Go, wasway!
