Steve Guttenberg Short Circuit Ally Sheedy

"Villians who twirl their mustaches are easy to spot. Those who clothe themselves in good deeds are well-camouflaged."

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!

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.

"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!

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!

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

So then it was his, then my turn. :) "Leaning on my pillow in the morning light"

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.

"Do the Locomotion." I don't know who did the original, but Kylie Minogue did a cover, which counts.

Wild guess. Was this the musical episode of "Buffy"?

"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!!"

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.

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!

That's the process we've been discussing. I ran it a few weeks ago, most recently. I needed to find instructions like you just posted, but they were sufficient to run BOTH parts of the error-check, not just the one that requires a restart. And I presume Disk Cleanup is probably hidden somewhere, and a tech may be able to tell you how to restore its command.

"Seems he was troubled by just one thing. He opened the lid and shook his fist"

Ace Venture: Pet Detective Courtney Cox Scream

Couldn't remember the name, but I could name the Klingon starship. That's how it goes, sometimes.... Ok, then! =============== "Blast that tin-plated POT!!"

Lou Reed, "Take a Walk on the Wild Side." (I don't think the Velvet Underground had a piece of that action....)

I'm looking forward to seeing the whole set!

Now that we've had a chance to laugh about it, I'd like to point out something that may be obvious to those of us who use Google constantly. Google's searches (and most search engines) are dependent upon keywords, and upon number of links pointing to that site in reference to that word. That's why one fun prank is the "Google hijack." Get enough people to link to a particular page, and it comes up as the first result, which means that when you hit "I'm feeling lucky" and get sent to the first result, you'll get that page. Example One: during the whole "are there weapons of mass destruction" controversy, if you typed in "weapons of mass destruction" and hit "I'm feeling lucky", you got a page that was designed to resemble a Google searchpage, saying "weapons of mass destruction" was not found, and giving options to search another country and whatever. It actually fooled some people even when they expected a prank. Example Two: This one still works. If you type in "french military victories" and hit "I'm feeling lucky", you get another mock Google page saying "french military victories" were not found, and offer to search for "French military defeats" instead. That page goes to a partial list of French military history- just the defeats- written and run by a Canadian. Example Three: This one still works. If you type in "miserable failure" and hit "I'm feeling lucky", you will get a certain legitimate webpage that was not made-up for a joke. The joke is in the search and the result. I'll let you run the search yourself and see. http://www.google.com ============ Ok, the part that doesn't affect users, but affects site-owners, is that they can't make other people link to their site- which would raise their listing in searches, which would direct more traffic to them, which means more money to paid sites like pr0n and stuff. So, they can't drive their traffic that way, so they figured out they could drive their traffic the other way. Every month, there's a list of most commonly-searched-for items. (It's on Google somewhere.) So, the site owners took a lot of words that ranked in searches, and began sticking them somewhere in their site. You can tell because some searches will show you the item you're searching for in a long list of names, or random words, and not in a sentence or anything. (Often, they'll be alphabetized in a stack of similar names or words.) Personally, I don't think it's particularly successful (It doesn't lure ME to their sites), but since it costs them little to add that to their pages, and they seem to have no penalty for doing it, I expect that they'll keep doing it for a long time. So, since certain names get searched for online, eventually, some site operators have grabbed them off the lists and just shoved them into abstract blocks of text they dump onto their sites. It says nothing about the content of the sites, nor about the names they used. I hope I didn't spoil anyone's fun TOO much.

I won't disagree, on any of that. I will add one caveat, however- as documented by lcm himself, vpw pretty much had staked out some equipment was HIS. That's why he had someone pick up vpw in "his" golf-cart, but forgot to ASK PERMISSION FIRST, and vpw blew up at him later, saying "KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY STUFF." So, I'd say his policy was that ALMOST EVERY piece of equipment, ALMOST every asset that the ministry owned was available for use (not belonged to-it was always considered twi property) to EVERY believer. That's roughly the same thing you said, but not EXACTLY the same, and I thought it was fair to point that out. No arguments there! Seems many rules are often-commented-on because they were caustic and destructive. Some rules which are not are usually not commented-on so much. That includes the "you can check out the car" policy. I think it was very good to have such policies, and he either instituted them or signed off on those policies, so he's responsible for THOSE as much as the others. It is my OPINION that certain things that affected him PERSONALLY were dictated to the nth degree, but most things that did not were given broad outlines, checked sometimes to make sure they were still working, and the people in charge of them otherwise were to proceed at their own discretion. (Read that: they could do their jobs without someone perched on their shoulder like some vulture, unless you answered to Im0gene or Rozilla herself.) I'd be mildly surprised to see ANY here share that SPECIFIC type of experience with him. I'd agree. You and I had been making completely different points at the same time, which LOOKED contradictory.

Yes, I believe it was called Disk Verify in another version, since some people still call it that (98 and earlier.) But the options in the steps you listed (which are the ones I meant, but I don't have them memorized and would need to look them up) say it checks the disk for errors, so I can see calling it "check disk." BTW, my XP does NOT have an option to do it under "System Tools"- that's where 98 used to have it, and it's the FIRST place I looked. I had to go on a cyber-safari to find it. Worse, I think some recent updates of Windows may cause the thing to not complete anymore run that way, and you need a NEW set of instructions to run it. (Me AND someone else suddenly can't get it to run correctly following the same instructions you posted-anymore, and had to find ANOTHER set.)

And Sergeant York was in it, maybe. (Not Sergeant York, but it was something like that.)

Hahaha! This was during the officer exchange program. Mendac (Mendoc?) served on the Enterprise, and Riker served on a Klingon battlecruiser. (The IKC Pagh, if I remember correctly, one of the big Vor'cha class things.) This line was Riker at dinner in the Klingon Mess Hall, making a good accounting of himself during crew banter. I agree this episode was fun.
