Depends on how good you think Photobucket and Imageshack are. I know I didn't have to download or pay anything to use either. Probably depends on what you want to host. An avatar would be a piece of cake, but, say, an entire comic-book might be too much for free.

Nothing with such a short tv run..... I wish some other posters would check in. I'm sure a number of them could name this by now if they read the quotes....

So far, we've gotten farther than I expected. Some people are willing to discuss this, but there's a lot of dogmatism on both sides, so some posters may not be participating intellectually to the same degree as the others, relying more on knee-jerk reactions than actual discussion. Now, one thing that's come up, which I think many of us can agree on, is that both sides have some merit, and make some good points, and likewise are unable to refute well certain other points. Thus, I have arrived at a position guaranteed to tick off both sides. When seeking understanding of something, one rule of thumb is Ockham's Razor. It's a tool for eliminating incorrect possibilities. The main part of the rule states that when two or more explanations fully explain something, the simpler one is the correct answer. That's sufficient for most situations. There's another part to that, however. When two or more explanations explain something, but none of them FULLY explain it, then NONE of them are correct, and the correct answer is still missing. Having seen both sides offer their explanations over the years, I personally will apply Ockham's Razor to this, and say that it is my informed opinion that NEITHER side is ENTIRELY correct, and the TRUE answer is something else, a third option which might be considered "in between", or might not. (I've reviewed the other positions I've seen as well, and find they are less able to explain fully than the 2 positions we're discussing.) So, it is my informed opinion that I don't know the answer, but it's not one of the answers currently being offered. Told you I'd tick off everybody at the same time....

Ok, let's see.... "...the sound a dog makes." "Um............who is John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band, thankyouverymuch, I'll take Animal Sounds for $800 please!" "No! Good Lord! We would've accepted 'bow-wow' or 'ruff'!" "Ah, ruff. Just the way your mother likes it!" "the category was Numbers, and you wrote.. ..a letter V. Well, I tell you what, my friend - V is a Roman numeral, so despite your best efforts, you answered correctly." "Outer Space: The Last Frontier. These are the trips of the Star Trek Enterprise. Its five year plan calls for us to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly fly where no man has gone in space. Live long, and be happy." "We're very busy right now! If you haven't heard, Voldemort has returned and is trying to recruit the Dementors to take over Hogwarts!" "Hey, Potter, cool it with the nerd stuff. Shut up." "Listen, we got a place off campus and a mini-fridge filled with butterbeer." "I'm sorry boys, we can't waste time. We'll celebrate after we defeat Voldemort." "What a tease." ""Hey! Who's that Spartan doin' some Tai Chi?" "It's me! It's me!" ""I said who's that Spartan doin' some Tai Chi?" "It's me! It's me!" "I deserve good things. I am entitled to my share of happiness. I refuse to beat myself up. I am attractive person. I am fun to be with." "I'm going to do a terrific show today! And I'm gonna help people! Because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and, doggonit, people like me!" "Well, I can tell by the empty bottle of Courvoisier that it is time to say goodnight."

It is. You forgot a lot of the episode. The enterprise went to "ANGEL ONE" (the planet, in the episode) to find survivors of the SS Odin. Meanwhile, an illness swept thru the Enterprise, and Beverly had to find a cure. And the Enterprise needed to go to the Neutral Zone as a show of force. It's your turn anyway. Do you want to hold off for a time, since our player-numbers have dwindled?

Harry Potter is not a TV show. That quote was not from any HP movie nor book. Nor has JK Rowling authorized any TV show appearances of any of the characters. (To the best of my knowledge.) All of those quotes, however, ARE quotes from a TV show- if not from the same EPISODE.

Ok, let's see.... "...the sound a dog makes." "Um............who is John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band, thankyouverymuch, I'll take Animal Sounds for $800 please!" "No! Good Lord! We would've accepted 'bow-wow' or 'ruff'!" "Ah, ruff. Just the way your mother likes it!" "the category was Numbers, and you wrote.. ..a letter V.

"Where're you boys off to?" "Skiing, sir. Our instructor has us scheduled for the Swiss Alps, sir." "Save us some deep powder." "No problem, sir. The Holodeck has all you'll ever need." "..Searching the galaxy for survivors seems a petty task for one of their mighty vessels." "We don't consider even one survivor petty." "Is this man suggesting that we place a lesser value on life than you do?" "Not at all." "Are we to take these strangers at their word?" "A good question." "What reason could we possibly have to deceive you?" "Another good question." "I can't smell anything. I'm a little congested..." "Don't let this 'just happen' again, Mister Crusher." "Yes, sir!!" "Mister Data will need access to your library." "Our library is far too sophisticated for a man to comprehend." "I am an android, Mistress, though anatomically, I am a fully functioning male." "You're going to have to get the Enterprise to the Neutral Zone before it's too late." "To be precise, Commander, you ordered me to reach the Neutral Zone 'before it is too late.' I have computed the length of time the border outpost and USS Berlin can safely withstand a Romulan attack... deducted our time to destination at maximum warp speed. That leaves Doctor Crusher with forty-eight more minutes..." "Splitting hairs is a figure of speech I recognize, Commander. Speaking for those whose hair is soon to be split, forty-eight minutes may make a great deal of difference. Excuse me -- forty-seven minutes." "Bingo? I fail to see the relevance, Doctor. Is that not a reference to an ancient Earth game?" (And there's one of the famous "47s" which began appearing in scripts after the original series and the cartoon.) "I think I may sneeze." "A Klingon sneeze?" "Only kind I know."

That's odd- one of the last quotes I posted was what I thought gave it away, if you read it slower and ask the obvious questions. Apparently, I may be wrong.

News to me. Let's see them try to ENFORCE this one. They can't stop JAYWALKING.

Hm. If that's Peter TORK, this is "the Monkees."

I believe you are correct. No, this is not that episode. Although I think that's an awfully vague name to give to an episode, don't you?

No, Macbeth II: Banquo's Revenge.

A) Looks like "the purpose of his post" is to get a copy of the book "One God & One Lord that CES put out, without giving CES $29 directly. I may be wrong, but that seems pretty straightforward. B) If you're having nausea, there are a number of rather effective remedies on the market now besides Dramamine, and your local pharmacy should be able to supply you with one or more. C) He doesn't owe you an explanation of why he wants the book or why he doesn't want to give them money. And he never said he "trusted CES with the Word." He said he wanted that book. He never said WHY he wanted it or how he considers it. If you don't think that's enough of an answer to help him, then don't help him. Curl your lip in disdain, don't waste time posting, and just go on to the next thread. I find posts like this distasteful and religiously nauseating. Good thing I already went to my local pharmacy and stocked up on useful supplies.

This sounds like it might come in handy. Hello, Newcomer. You do realize that if you stick around, you'll no longer be new and we'll have to call you something else? :)

I still say "follow the money." The economy of the "slave states" was tied up in plantations-meaning it was based on the cheap labour of SLAVES. Freeing slaves means the plantation owner has less money. I doubt most of them were idealogically-enlightened enough to voluntarily free their slaves at the cost of making a lot less money. Of course, any plantation owner COULD free any slave on his plantation- or all of them. Yet slavery continued as an institution. Forgive my cynicism, but I think the PRIMARY reason for the Civil War was the secession of the Confederate States, and the PRIMARY reason for their secession was their ownership of slaves-which they wished to continue, and the PRIMARY reason for that was money. I stress PRIMARY because I believe that people who do not wield the power and have a vested interest in something can be tricked into supporting it against their own self-interest, if they are given a compelling sales pitch that gives them entirely unrelated reasons to support it. So, you have people who don't own slaves, who are told up and down "it's about states' rights!", and if they're told this enough times, they will say "this is all about states' rights", and they will support slavery almost accidentaly, in their attempt to support states' rights... which is what the slave-owners wanted, and THEY don't care about the non-slaveowners so long as they do what they're told.

[because you looked at some posts some of us have placed on a website, decided you knew all about our lives without actually knowing us, and then began making pronouncements. That strikes a chord in ex-twiers because we've met plenty of ill-trained, supposed leaders BEFORE who did this sort of thing. Nowadays, when someone tells us "pay no attention to that man behind the curtain", we pull the curtain aside to expose the mortal man standing there pretending he's a big shot. "Once bitten, twice shy." We don't encourage people to decide they know all about our lives just based on a handful of posts and not getting to know us, then making pronouncements. That's it.] [That illustrated my point nicely. You decided that you knew everything there was to know on the subject and need not actually get to know us before deciding you knew all about us. Then you made a grand pronouncement about all of us from on high. But you left out the florid language like us being "under the ban" or "apostate" or something else. So, your judgements-your preconcieved notions phrased as judgements, really- will not change what is true either. If this is your idea of dialoguing, it's not going to encourage the active Christians here to chat with you as a friend, companion, respected equal, or what-have-you. Just to make it official, you have no idea what I do on my off-time. I don't come here and announce it, because I don't want to. That strikes me like sounding a trumpet when I pay alms-I don't want that reward- and frankly, I'm not in it for the rewards. Did you really think you could arrive, dictate how we interact with you, and get grown adults to just fall in line? Didn't you realize we already sat thru this movie? "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me."] Nice one, especially for a new arrival. Hello, sonofarthur. Pull up a chair, and enjoy your stay. There's a sticky with a guide for new arrivals, I hope you looked it over.

No, not this time. "You're going to have to get the Enterprise to the Neutral Zone before it's too late." "Splitting hairs is a figure of speech I recognize, Commander. Speaking for those whose hair is soon to be split, forty-eight minutes may make a great deal of difference. Excuse me -- forty-seven minutes." "Bingo? I fail to see the relevance, Doctor. Is that not a reference to an ancient Earth game?" (And there's one of the famous "47s" which began appearing in scripts after the original series and the cartoon.)

============= Ok, here's where the lines go in the movie/play. Hamlet, pretending to be insane, is approached by the clueless Polonius, who was trying to confirm his own guesses as to why. "What do you read, my lord?" "Words. Words. Words." "What is the matter?" "Between who?" "I mean, the matter that you read" King Claudius thinks Hamlet has no clue about his plans, as he sends Hamlet to England. "I see a cherub that sees them." Hamlet has the travelling performers enact a play similar to his father's murder-complete with a few lines Hamlet's added to complete the resemblance. (He then watches Claudius' reactions to the play-did Claudius murder Hamlet's father?) This is a line from his play. "In second husband let me be accursed- none wed the second but who killed the first!" Hamlet, on his relation-Claudius is his father's brother, and now his mother's husband. A little more than kin, and less than kind." Polonius, on how wonderful these players are. He spares no inflation in making them sound great. "These are the best actors in the world! Either for tragedy, comedy, history, pastoral, pastoral-comical, historical-pastoral, tragical-historical, tragical-comical-historical-pastoral. For the law of writ and the liberty... these are the only men." "My lord, you played once for the university, you say?" "That did I, my lord, and was accounted a good actor." "What did you enact?" "I did enact Julius Caesar. I was killed in the Capitol. Brutus killed me." "It was a brute part of him to kill so capital a calf there." Hamlet then engaged Polonius on his own turn as an actor. Hamlet's play- he had them enact "the Murder of Gonzago." (With a few added lines.) What do you call the play?" "The Mousetrap." Hamlet almost narrates the story as it unfolds. He's better than a Greek chorus for narration, he is... "His name is Gonzago. Wait, you shall see anon...how the murderer gets the love of Gonzago's wife." And that's when Claudius starts to lose his cool... Thought you guys had more of a head for the classics. Sir Lawrence Olivier, Mel Gibson, and Kenneth Branagh all did versions of this, and there was a version shown on MST3K. For me, there's nothing quite like sitting in front of a roaring fireplace with a book like "War and Peace." You know a big, fat book like that can feed a fire for 2 hours! (Emo Phillips.) Go, Raf!
