I only know Cleavon Little from one other movie.

(Which I was discussing the other day, oddly enough.)

I'm SURE of one other actor from it.

Once Bitten

Jim Carrey

Batman Forever

(But I think it was mean to pull that one...)

Saw a comic strip. One guy's holding a tape.

"People who see this die in seven days."

*runs tape*

"Welcome to Martha Stewart Living."

(other guy): "This is going to kill me faster than that..."

"I was admiring... your markings. Are they decorative?"

"No. Are yours?"

"No. ...If you don't mind me asking... how far down do they go?"

"All the way."

"Do you think you'll be done overhauling the station by the next time I see you?"

"I doubt it."

"Well, let me put it another way - if I ever catch you pointing a holo-imager at me again, you will end up EATING IT."

""Quark! I don't have time for this! Why don't you make HIM your one millionth customer?"

"But Major, that would be dishonest."

"Oh, that never stopped you before!"

"But this is a special occasion! An event like this only happens once in a bar owner's lifetime. Let me tell you about your prizes!"

"You mean I won something??"

"Of course you won something. It's part of the celebration."

"I never won anything before."

"Well. Now you have. Congratulations."

"The gravimetric distortions are intensifying, but they don't seem to be coming from the star itself."

"But where else could they be coming from? There aren't any planets in this system."

"There are now."

Clint Eastwood

Million Dollar Baby

Hilary Swank

This clearly occurs at DS9.

Clearly.

The first sounds like an exchange with Dax.

The second with O'Brien.

If you remembered the context, you'd know why this line was worth remembering...

The third probably Kira chewing out Quark.

Since they sound like they're still getting to know each other, I'll guess "The Emissary."

The other stuff was correct, but not this.

"I was admiring... your markings. Are they decoratiive?"

"No. Are yours?"

"No. ...If you don't mind me asking... how far down do they go?"

"All the way."

"Do you think you'll be done overhauling the station by the next time I see you?"

"I doubt it."

"Well, let me put it another way - if I ever catch you pointing a holo-imager at me again, you will end up EATING IT."

if i knew how to send a sound i would

Click on the musical note, select a sound, then click "SEND".

We can, but isn't this beneath us?

Can't we wait until he restarts trouble before invoking it?

It's equally possible he's grown beyond this position and we're needlessly taunting him

with it.

Ok, maybe not EQUALLY possible, but possible and fair.

Does this mean what it looks like it means? Is rosie setting up her geriatric care? Sounds like they are stuck with her till they bury her. What happened to the "five years" and then time for new blood?

It also seems to me that, in addition to watering things down, they are operating from a "wishful thinking" perspective. Surely they aren't getting that many "new people" if they really are getting any new people. From what I understand and hear, it wouldn't be near enough to off-set the "old people" who are waking up and leaving the group.

Looks like she doesnt want a taste of the treatment she gave Mrs W.

And "term limits" was a campaign promise-you don't expect her to tell the TRUTH, do you?

And yes, they're reshuffling the chairs to make it LOOK like there's more people.

Because if they keep SAYING there's more people, some will believe it...

IMO, the reason so many people have titled responsibilities is to make the organization seem larger and more affluent than it really is. How impressive it must look to outsiders or newbies who know nothing of TWI or its history -- all those names, all those important titles!!!! "Minister" of facilities, U.S.A. operations, finances and International Operations - wow - he must be reallllllly important! And there are 14 members in the president's cabinet! They must have a LOT to manage in order to justify having that many staff to their followers. Hmmm - wonder what their responsibilites are?

Gotta justify the budget...

I remember the first year that I got involved in TWI: I was in a twig of over 20 people, a branch of 8 twigs, 8 local branches were grouped into an "Area" (later a "Territory"), there were 7 or 8 Areas in the State. The Region included all of the East Coast from Maine down to DC. Only 8 in the whole country.

The last year that I was involved in TWI I was in a twig that included only seven adults (3 married couples) and their children. There were no other fellowships in the state. Two years before the only Way Corps left the state after running a 2-fellowship "branch" and the Limb. We were included as part of the Limb of Missouri and the Kansas City branch, which was over 3 hours away.

Let's see... 20 x 8 x 8 x 7= 8,960 in the state.

Supposing all of those were "typical." (Average-sized twig, and branch, etc.)

And of course, that was one of the biggest states (NY, vs CA which were about it.)

Later... 7 x1=7 in a state.

My the numbers sure have gone down a bit, haven't they?

My take is an overinflated sense of grandeur. Minister of Education, Minister of Finance, etc...sounds like Rosie is the Prime Minister and that TWI is its own little pitiful country. I wonder who the Minister of Defense is?

Maybe we could help them out in that regard and move them to the Bikini Islands in the Pacific. Since we did the above-ground H-Bomb testing there, I understand that there aren't any residents anymore. Sounds like the perfect place to set up "TWI-land."

I'd even buy the Kool-Aid for them (kidding, of course)

Reminds me of 1984.

The Ministry of Truth ran the propaganda.

The Ministry of Peace ran the war.

The Ministry of Love ran the brainwashing.

The Ministry of Plenty ran the rationing.

I think it was one of the Wayans brothers.

Talked about his daughter crashing her car.

Like any teen, the first words out of her mouth must have been

"My daddy's gonna kill me!"

Cops checked her ID.

"Yeah, he will.

He'll get away with it, too."

I also liked the Saturday Night Live coverage.

Like when they supposedly had him on, and he was talking

about how if you love something, it's ok to kill it.

For example, that Ebola virus that loved all those people...

And WW's quote reminds of a DS9 episode where Dax (and Sisko,I think) wind up in early 21st-century Earth. I think the quote was by an earthman to Dax.

No, that guy was sure they were tribal tattoos. He'd gotten some back in the 90s when everyone else was

getting them. :) Not the same scene. In mine, he wasn't sure if they were added or inborn.

"I was admiring... your markings. Are they decoratiive?"

"No. Are yours?"

"No. ...If you don't mind me asking... how far down do they go?"

"All the way."

I didn't know it was finally going to be released. Yes, I'd love to see that.

Should be any day now, IIRC.

So is Rosy ignorant or just trying to be vague and obscure with her grammar?

YES.

I'll NEVER forget quotes from that movie, WW.

I'll have to remember that.

Are you looking forward to the Richard Donner cut coming out soon?

"If you lie all the time, no one will believe you, even when you tell the truth."

"Are you sure that's the moral of the story?"

"What else would it be?"

"Never tell the same lie twice."

George

Ok....

Deep Space 9.

Julian Bashir and Elam Garik are talking.

Bashir just told the story of "the Boy Who Cried Wolf".

I know the scene, but not the episode.

No, that's the one where Dr. Crusher is trying to figure out why everyone around her is disappearing and no one seems to remember the missing people.

Correct.

"Remember Me."

Go, Raf!

Nope.

""If there's nothing wrong with me, maybe there's something wrong with the universe."

"You are master of all you survey!"

"So I was yesterday. And the day before."

Actually, it's one of those Voyager episodes you're useless at. Tom Paris was demoted to Ensign and sentenced to "Thirty Days" in the episode of that name for getting involved in a war on a water planet.

Okay, let's try an easier one:

"Nice house. Good Tea."

George

I think this was when Worf "admired gall."

That was when we met Kevin Uxbridge and found out why we won't be running into any Husnock anytime.

(We never did encounter another Dowd, oddly enough.)

What he was referring to was the mistake most of us made, where we confused

CORRELATION with CAUSATION.

That is, confusing things that were TOGETHER as if one explained the other.

vpw taught some things (taken from others) that made sense when explained.

He then taught some other things (some he made up) that didn't make sense.

Since part seemed to make PERFECT sense, we trusted that anything we didn't

understand made sense and we just didn't see it.

(Or considered any error to be too small to matter, depending on the example.)

So, if you got healed under one ministry's umbrella, you might conclude that means

the ENTIRE MINISTRY-its curriculum, leadership and so on-was quality,

whereas it might only be the LOCALS that are quality.

That's what JB was talking about.

Mountaintop,

VPW's plagiarism has been documented here before. I think Raf was the one who did it. Line for line Doc Vic stole.

<center>sudo</center>

Actually, Raf would tell you it was Juedes that covered this one...

But I'd like to see what else was found.

Maybe someone else will remember, but I think the spin was that Dr. Wierwille had discovered all this stuff through his own research, and then found validation in the works of Bullinger who had seen the same things in the Word a generation or two earlier. Funny, it was like validation for us too: "see not only VPW figured out 'four crucified' - here's this guy Bullinger who came to the same conclusion - it must be true!" It never occurred to me to look at that stuff and say, "Dang, VPW sure ripped off the writings of this Bullinger guy!"

Since connecting the dots, it has amazed me that How to Enjoy the Bible is still sold in the Way International Bookstore. Why not include J.E. Stiles book as well?

IIRC,

the story was that Rosal1nd R1nker (I may have the wrong person) supposedly told him

Bullinger wrote like vpw taught, and gave him his first Bullinger book.

Not much longer after that, vpw WROTE "like Bullinger wrote."

In the same sentences and chapters and books and so on.
