"Is anyone else having problems concentrating on this? I just can't seem to concentrate." "Maybe we should send you to a concentration camp." "Maury, I am out of control. Yeah, I use drugs. I can do what I waunt, biatch! Yeah, I have sex, and I don't use protection!" " Don't worry. There are no stupid answers, just stupid people. " "Do your impersonation of David Caruso's career!" "You know what? I've learned something today..." "Well, that about does it. If you have any questions, I'll leave information packets up front." "Oh that's good, we need some more toilet paper." Respect my authorit-ay!" "But, I'm a psychic." "No, dude. You're a douche." "I'm not a douche. What if I really believed dead people talk to me?" "Then, you're a STUPID douche." "Umm, Mom..." "Yes, honey?" "Um, can I got to the Special Olympics and beat all the special children?" "No, honey, I believe that is for special children." "You mean, I'm not special? I thought you said I was special!" "Okay, children. Let's all gather around and bob for stupid apples now. You go first, Bebe. That's good. Just use those mouth muscles like the girls in Beijing." "TIMAH! And the Lords of the Underworld!" "But, ladies and gentlemen of this SUPPOSED jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense!" "Dammit!" "What?" "He's using the Chewbacca Defense!" "Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this SUPPOSED jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests." "But what if when I'm putting on the nose, the snowman comes to life and tries to kill me?!" "Tweek, when has that ever happened except for that one time?" "We have to return the 'Lord of the Rings' to the Two Towers." "You want some Cheesy Poofs, too?" "Yeah, I want Cheesy Poofs!" "You know who I am, don't you?" "Well, you ain't Fiona Apple, and if you ain't Fiona Apple, I don't give a rat's a@$$." "Step one: Steal underpants, Step two: (silence), Step Three: Profit!!!"

*looks it up* Correct! Your turn.

The last one wasn't Deanna doing an impersonation, it was Picard.

You are trying far too hard....

"You can't keep playing Parises Squares like you're twenty-one years old. One of these days you're going to fall and break your neck... and I won't be able to heal that so easily." "Actually... I wasn't playing Parises Squares..." "Mmm... Worf's calisthenic program again..." "No..." "Oh? What were you doing?" "I was trying to feed Spot." "Data's cat?" "I told Data I'd feed it while he was away. All I remember is setting down the food... and then a hissing ball of fur came out of nowhere. I hate cats." "So just as I'm leaving the reception, a Ktarian walks up to me and says... '...So Diane... I understand you're an empath. I'm a very...sensitive man myself.

But he really is an expert on interspecies mating practices." "Did you help him with his research, Counselor?" "Absolutely not." "But I thought that topic interested you." "Yes... but..." "I'll explain it to you later, Data." "It wasn't any better at the physiognomy workshop. Doctor Vassbinder gave an hour long dissertation on the ionization effect of warp nacelles -- before he realized the topic was supposed to be psychology." "Why didn't somebody tell him?" "There was never an opportunity, never a pause. He just kept talk-ing like he was speak-ing in one in-credibly long, run-on sen-tence... .....It was almost hypnotic."

[bravo. I'm overjoyed for you. I never said NOBODY benefitted from this program-or at least THINKS they did. My comment was a PARAPHRASE- that people have been saying that this program is ABOVE REPROACH, and that any complaints are entirely due to the participants and not the program. THAT's where your posts-and others-have gone. To claim NOW that you're saying that some normal people even CAN be harmed by this program would represent a CHANGE in your posts-and I don't even see you saying that NOW. Are you aware that some perfectly-healthy people have been strongarmed into taking this program, and have been harmed by it? Or is your position that those who have been harmed were already damaged, and the program is STILL fine?]

I can't name the artist, so if this one depended on me, the odds would be very slim I could give the correct answer....

I disagree with you about regrets at the Bema, but if you want to discuss it, we can open a thread in the Doctrinal forum and not derail this one. I agree with you here. It's up to God, and to the individual Christians in question.

You're right. (I got this one last time we saw it on this thread.) Any chance you can post the next one, or should I just take it or something?

Ok, let's see.... "Is anyone else having problems concentrating on this? I just can't seem to concentrate." "Maybe we should send you to a concentration camp." "Maury, I am out of control.

Adrian Paul Highlander: Endgame Christopher Lambert

A) JKR's mentioned that one of her favourite writers is Nesbitt. Nesbitt's specialty is rewriting fairy tales. Like the Frog Prince. JKR mentioned that she liked Book 6, but not all the fans would- which suggested to me that it might be a bit of "this is what I wanted to write, period", and further might have been her own attempt to rewrite a fairy tale. Trevor always seems to disappear or be around interesting places and events. Apparently, it's all been a series of coincidences, but there's been speculation- like Trevor being used as some sort of spying apparatus by Uncle Algie. (Uncle Algie, if you recall, gave him the toad, and also was the guy who would have "accidentally" killed Trevor if Trevor's own magickal nature hadn't saved him.) What got me thinking of this was looking at a list of all the possible suspects for the Half-Blood Prince- and the giant squid got a vote as well. When I saw Trevor's name, I wondered to myself, "A Frog Prince?" and the rest of it came in a flash of inspiration. It was WRONG, but it was an INTERESTING wrong. My own speculation also expected JKR to use the HBP to tie in one of the other races of beings into the war- merfolk, goblins, etc. Since she didn't, I'm almost disappointed. Ok, other news. I considered that a red herring. Harry was asking the wrong question, and thus went to the wrong person. Harry presumed everyone was right, and Sirius was killed by the Veil/Arch. Thus, he wanted to know if Sirius could become a ghost. Nearly-Headless Nick can tell him of ghosts, but of nothing else concerning death-by his own admission, since he was afraid to move on to whatever he should have moved on to. Nick has heard that Sirius was killed, which Nick takes to be true. Nick can confirm Sirius would not become a ghost, but has no ability to confirm the death report. Notice how Nick can't tell us what might be faced by someone who reached any Netherworld.... could be another coincidence, could be very convenient, and planned...

[i wonder if this is an INTENTIONAL error- as in "I'm looking for excuses to dismiss criticism, so I shall pretend that critics have ever objected to someone having even a single positive experience with Momentus when they have expressed no such thing"; or a psychological BLIND-SPOT- as in "I can't see why anyone would care so much about Momentus and still not like Momentus- they must object to people benefitting from it if they don't like Momentus..." I can't tell from here. Either way, it's ERROR- but one is accidental and one is intentional.] [Any training is bound to have someone who doesn't like it. That's a non-issue, and pretending it is not is just another smokescreen- whether intentional or accidental. There's a big difference between "I don't like the way they do this" and "people were being pressured to enter, those running it refused to explain what to expect, and some of those who took it suffered long-term psychological damage, and a LOT of those who didn't demonstrated negative personality traits". Seems a LOT of the people who graduated this "program" and didn't just collapse decide this thing is right next to the hand of God, and all criticism is bogus, and all objections must be shouted down, and even questioning it is forbidden. Oh, heck, who's surprised? We've seen it demonstrated right on this thread. People have popped in out of nowhere to attack any dissent, and NOT with reasoned discussion, most of them....]

Well, it was ok for vpw to go shopping for pornography to show students in the CFS class. vpw was ok to do anything because he was "spiritually mature". It was ok for vpw to show pornography to students in the CFS class. It was ok for vpw to show some students a film on bestiality, and describe it to the others. So, in the vpw era, it was hardly condemned in loud voices. Before 1990, I am unable to find any answers on it one way or the other. After 1990, I'd bet there isn't one either.

[ A) He was talking about HIS BOSS. READ the posts again. He was NOT addressing YOU- unless you're actually his boss at work, who's now posting here. B) Why does it bother you so LITTLE that some people got railroaded into a program that did severe damage to them? Is it because you buy the "only the strong benefit from this class- and only the weak suffer damage from it. REAL Christians benefit from this program" stuff? Maybe you should consult with your conscience as to whether you should be feeling something about the victims-even if you're NOT feeling anything other than APATHY for them. Just a thought.]

Quick Change Tony Shaloub Men in Black II

Is that from "Maverick"? The movie made a nod to that-with Maverick misquoting his dad all through the movie....

The only catch is that I'm speculating some things we haven't seen yet- a Netherworld in HP that can be entered like in mythology, and portals, even if they're almost-impossible to use. Considering how obscure she went to include the Hand of Glory, though, this isn't a big jump.

Sorry- can't find it from the lines provided. That may simply mean it was never posted online, or it was, and no links ANYWHERE point to the site (which is pretty rare.)

Ah! This is when Quark caused a drunken Klingon-the head of a House- to fall on his own dagger.... which became "I killed him in single combat"- making him the rightful heir to what became known as "the House of Quark". The second quote was Grillka, Kozak's widow. Interesting episode.

I've been watching JKR's comments about him since Book 5's release. She's quick to confirm DD's death, but has absolutely refused to confirm Sirius' death- and has done things like change the question she chose to answer- "Is Sirius dead?" became "Do you like Sirius?" and so on. She's also gone out of her way to say that DD's death must be accepted and fans must move on- but she never volunteers anything about Sirius' "death" that isn't directly related to the question- even if it means changing the question..... Why the coyness- which is remarkable when contrasted with her candor concerning DD?
