  1. Oh, heck, let's finish this. #10. A noun a noun.
  2. Little Nicky Jon Lovitz Mom and Dad Save the World
  3. "'Sic gorgiamos allos subjectatos nunc'- 'We gladly feast on those who would destroy us.' Those are not just pretty words." "The human spirit-it is a hard thing to kill." "Even with a chainsaw."
  4. Well, obviously he was referring to Captain Archer, who's played by Scott Bakula of "Quantum Leap" fame. The species with the number is an "Enterprise" species. However, most Trekkies (especially here) didn't watch "Enterprise." So you can post most of the script of the episode and still get no signs of life. Heck, our Voyager viewing was somewhat limited.
  5. #9 (of 10.) I need an adjective a plural noun a verb an adjective
  6. Home stretch here. #8. I need an adjective a noun an adjective a plural noun
  7. # 7. I need: an adjective an adjective a verb ending in -ing
  8. If I did, it would not be Mad Libs. You give words and only hear the story at the end. You already know it's something twi-printed. ============ ============= #6. I need a plural noun a plural noun a noun
  9. 5) Ok, I need a noun a noun an adjective an adjective
  10. 4) Ok, I need an adjective a noun a verb ending in -ed an adjective

  13. Hello! You all know how Mad Libs works, I'm sure! I have taken a section of writing from a twi source, and deleted certain words, making a template for a Mad Libs round. So, here's how we play. (For those of us who want to play.) I'll ask for certain parts of speech. For each one I ask, I'd like TWO posters to supply their choices for the words to go in that space. For example, if I say we need a noun, one person will submit "tree" and another person will submit "chilipepper." This allows me a little latitude in picking the funnier one. And this is PURELY for laughs. ================ =============== Ok, here's the start. 1) I need to have the following: an adjective an adjective a verb ending in -ed an adjective a noun
  14. "'Sic gorgiamos allos subjectatos nunc'- 'We gladly feast on those who would destroy us.' Those are not just pretty words."
  15. So, are you saying they lied intentionally to the rank-and-file? Imagine!
  16. Programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> System Restore -> Restore my computer to an earlier time-> Next-> Then select the latest date you can find, then follow the steps. That will put your machine back to the setting/programs it had on that date. So long as that date is before your problem update, you're all set. In theory. (No guarantee it will fix it.)
  17. Definitely "Fried Green Tomatoes", and I didn't have to see the movie to know that.
  18. Have you tried going back to your last Restore Point?
  19. Of course, Bullinger explained the name was from "sphingo" or "TO JOIN", since it joined Virgo and Leo. lcm invented a "puckers" explanation? I'm occasionally amazed at some of the things that proceeded out of his mouth or pen. This is the man who was in charge of the RESEARCH DEPARTMENT, don't forget. Your ABS funds at work.
  20. Sorry, Tom, but both "the Da Vinci Code" AND "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" are made up of whole cloth. Here's the summary on the book and its ideas... http://experts.about.com/e/h/ho/Holy_Blood,_Holy_Grail.htm Here's from the wikipedia entry on it... "The “Priory of Sion” which was listed as “fact” in Holy Blood Holy Grail, never actually existed. Far from having a “history (that) spanned more than a millennium,” the Priory was a hoax created by an anti-Semitic French pretender to France’s throne, Pierre Plantard, a convicted con-man, in 1956. As part of his hoax, Plantard had planted two sets of forged mediaeval documents: one in the French National Library, and another in the 1967 book Le Trésor Maudit de Rennes-le-Chateau. (For more details, see The Priory of Sion, Rennes-le-Chateau, and Pierre Plantard). The documents were taken as factual by the authors of The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail, which led to many of the false claims in the book." "In 2005, UK TV archaeologist Tony Robinson narrated a critical evaluation of the main arguments of Dan Brown and those of Baigent, Leigh and Lincoln, The Real Da Vinci Code, shown on Channel 4. The programme featured lengthy interviews with many of the main protagonists. Arnaud de Sède, son of Gérard de Sède, stated categorically that his father and Plantard had made up the existence of the Prieuré de Sion, and described the story as 'piffle.' The programme concluded that, in the opinion of the presenter and researchers, the claims of “Holy Blood” were based on little more than a series of guesses. The authors of the book itself have also backpedaled in recent interviews, claiming that they were only presenting a 'hypothesis.' " Here's a lengthy review that addresses a number of points... http://www.equip.org/free/DH028.htm This one was in the NY Times originally... http://www.cesnur.org/2004/davinci_nyt.htm Here's a short, sweet, commonsense review... http://www.decaturdaily.com/decaturdaily/b...115/book2.shtml If you like, we can dig into the claims and how they originate from fiction.

  22. This is NOT an actual article American women read back in the day. http://www.snopes.com/language/document/goodwife.asp Here's a few quotes off of that page, which I insist should be read entirely to understand it, in accordance with Snopes' rather strict copyright notices. "The question here is whether the piece quoted above really came from a home economics textbook. Is it real, or is it yet another of those "look how far we've come" fabrications? We know the graphic reproduced above (supposedly from the 13 May 1955 edition of a magazine called Housekeeping Monthly) is a fabrication: It didn't first appear until well after the "How to Be a Good Wife" list had begun circulating via e-mail, and it's clearly a mock-up produced by adding the text of the e-mail around an image taken from a 1957 cover of John Bull magazine. (The image itself even bears an "Advertising Archives" legend along its side, indicating its source.) As for the text itself, nobody has turned up the infamous textbook that supposedly included these ten steps. The list is often attributed to Helen B. Andelin's book Fascinating Womanhood, first published in 1963 to provide instruction in "The Art of Winning a Man's Complete Love," but no such list appears in that work." That doesn't mean that the items in this list have nothing to do with what women were being told back then. However, it DOES mean it wasn't compiled into THIS list with THIS picture.
  23. Seth, what hopes do we have to be able to customize the thing to resemble Classic Windows? XP has that option, and I consider that superior to the XP interface. I know Betas don't have the stability of later builds, but how has this thing been running? Is it more crash-prone, say, than 2000 or XP? (They don't crash much.) What do you consider to be the greatest improvement over XP or 2000?
  24. Please excuse me while I put some spaces into this so I can read it comfortably... I'm also going to tweak the punctuation. Abe: (Sep 28 2006, 08:28 AM) "I was a Way Disciple in the fall of 2001 to the spring of 2002, but I got the boot just before the 6-month program finished. They really hated to boot me out because I was a Way Disciple at Headquarters. (Ha Ha Ha.) Our group of 8 - 4 men and 4 women- "witnessed" to over 1000 people. (We had to keep track.) Not one- yes, not one- wanted our fellowship. On top of that, 4 out of the 8 were apprentice Corpoops. One got demoted to a regular Way Disciple, then it became 3. At Headguarters, where we worked 40 hrs a week, for 7.00hr, they continually during the 6months complimented us at Sunday Night Service, meal times, and any other PR thing at how successful we were. I was the exception. (Ha ha ha.) Anyway, to answer your questions. The Way Disciple Objectives I remember. Life Style & Strategy I remember. I know we were on a strict schedule. I remember I got food poisoning and enjoyed the time off. Except for being sicker than a dog the 1st morning. They couldn't wait to get me back on schedule. I remember the check list before going in. Everything from those things- Objectives, Lifestyle & Strategies, and the check list- were carried out to the T. Absolutely EVERY item and every instruction had to be carried out. It was the disciplined lifestyle of a Way Disciple. Always under the supervision of our Coordinator that lived with us! He was a good man. Twi leaders corrupted him. He was apprentice Corpoops. I remember the Monthly household worksheet. The two Coordinators,(two households, one for the guys and one for the girls. The two groups lived at separate locations, (shuckie darn) I don't remember the rest of the sheets. The Coordinators probably did those. Each person kept 3x5 cards on each individual we "witnessed" to. So we would divide up the "witnessed to people" on our cards. Planned follow-up calls was one of the schedule things we did. We always did everything together. (Except sleep, takes showers, and you know the other thing.) Very tiring and a complete failure of holding forth the word. I was very happy to get out of there. We had weekly meetings to pick one topic from a list we had to bring up in our conversations when we went witnessing. Aw, lots of stories to tell. I'll be happy to answer any questions. On the lighter side. Us 4 guys had a blast door to door witnessing the 1st couple of weeks. It was just a month after 911 and we were out there pounding the pavement, walking the neighborhood, door to door witnessing. HAH, I LOVED IT. Then we had to Get on the schedule. We had to say it a certain way. All the "witnessing" was planned out a week in advance. Bet that came down from the top brass of Twi. Guess us guys were having to much fun."
