  1. "Hailing frequencies CLOSED, sir." "My friend Data, you see things with the wonder of a child. And that makes you more human than any of us."
  2. Because they've been convinced-through extensive indoctrination and controlling the avenues of information- that the only other option to "do what we say without question" is to completely leave the presence and protection of God Almighty, and be consigned to the outer darkness. Or a "greasespot by midnight." Those of us HERE know this is a transparent piece of fiction, but those in the GRIP of it may not know any better.
  3. "You know something, sweetheart? Christmas is... well, it's about the best time of the whole year. When you walk down the streets, even for weeks before Christmas comes, and there's lights hanging up, green ones and red ones, sometimes there's snow and everyone's hustling some place. But they don't hustle around Christmas-time like they usually do. You know, they're a little more friendlier... they bump into you, they laugh and they say, "Pardon me. Merry Christmas"... especially when it gets real close to Christmas night. Everybody's walking home, you can hardly hear a sound. Bells are ringin', kids are singing, the snow is coming down. And boy what a pleasure it is to think that you've got some place to go to. And that the place that you're going to, there's somebody in it that you really love. Some one you're nuts about. Merry Christmas."
  4. "How will I recognize him?" "Tall, slim, and dark." "So is my aunt. Anything distinctive about him?" "You get as much pleasure out of killing as I do, so why don't you admit it?" "I admit killing you would be a pleasure." "Who'd want to put a contract on me?" "Jealous husbands! Outraged chefs! Humiliated tailors! The list is endless!" "A gun and a bag of peanuts, how original. What will they think of next?"
  5. Ok, that was the Iconian computer thingy that did that. Let's see, that was the episode "Contagion" that had the Iconians.
  6. Oh, and before I lose my chance, a word about the previous movie... The best line that was cut from the movie is fairly well-known. Mel Brooks has been asked to tell the story a number of times-and he's told it. When Lily Von Schtupp is supposed to vamp Sheriff Bart, she says something as she puts the lights out... Lily: "Is it true how zey say zat you people are... gifted? Oh. It's twue. It's twue. It's twue, it's twue!" (deleted line)Bart: "You're sucking my arm!" The shame is that nowadays they could air it, but the studio refused to let them keep it back when. Mel Brooks met with a rep, was told that, and said "No problem" or something to that effect. He went back to the studio and said "They said it's fine-go ahead and shoot it." Sadly, there doesnt seem to be a surviving copy anywhere of the footage...
  7. Sounds like poor Jan from "the Brady Bunch", always competing with Marcia, Marcia, Marcia.....
  8. "Philosophers and ploughmen- Each must know his part"
  9. Thanks kindly. I'll pass this along. (And make a note in case I ever need to know this.)
  10. Rod Steiger Mars Attacks! Michael J. Fox
  11. Odd if TV Land's airing this show-it's very recent. (Not impossible, just odd.) The song, though, has got to be "Where My Heart Will Take Me." (Personally, I would have called it "Strength of the Heart", but nobody asked me.) As for artists, Rod Stewart did this one for the movie "Patch Adams."
  12. "How will I recognize him?" "Tall, slim, and dark." "So is my aunt. Anything distinctive about him?" "You get as much pleasure out of killing as I do, so why don't you admit it?" "I admit killing you would be a pleasure."
  13. Don't forget the "kindler, gentler" twi of today hasn't owned up to it either, and any of that which it doesn't do now is more the result of a lack of children on grounds to treat like crapola than a desire to, you know, treat them like children. Not to take away from the brutalities inflicted on resident children, the indoctrination foisted on other kids is not to be dismissed either. I mean, when you have a high school featuring a guest speaker who is a Holocaust Survivor, and a handful of students feel the need to ridicule her until she breaks down into tears at the podium, and all of them just HAPPEN to be from the same religious group, then obviously something is wrong there....
  14. Always the best, Paw. May you always crush your enemies and hear the lamenation of their women!
  15. Ok, let's suppose someone (not me) has administrative access for their XP, but some of the main menus under Start (Settings, etc) aren't coming up. How would this person restore them? If you can point me to the answer, whether you know it yourself, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
  16. I believe another, less dramatic quote, might be called for here.
  17. If the big fellow's Mongo, the sheriff's black, and the speaker's the Waco kid, then this is "BLAZING SADDLES." If not, I have no idea.
  18. Whoops-that is correct, sir! To be specific, he also said Leonard was good with experiences (and vpw derided experience often) but not with The Word. And H1ggins supposedly gave him his Bullinger stuff: "he writes like you teach."
  19. Priceless line from ST:TNG. Forget the episode, though. *wild swing* "Yesterday's Enterprise"?
  20. Correct. "The Odd Couple." One episode had Oscar scheduled to be in a movie, where he had one line, and that was it. (It was repeated a lot in the episode.) A series of twists, and he was fired, and Felix was going to do the line- but he improvised wildly and was also fired. The marriage ceremony was when Oscar's ex-wife, Blanche, was going to get remarried at the Wee Kirk of Yonkers. Felix objected, and they tried again in a few days. And Burger's Fat Farm was where the other lines came up. That's all Burger's lines from the episode. He always seemed to mention food when he spoke. Go, wasway!

    Dats or Cogs?

    http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7005596044 Brazil Cat-Puppies Theory Debunked November 21, 2006 10:49 p.m. EST Megan Shannon - All Headline News Staff Writer Sao Paulo, Brazil (AHN) - A Brazilian woman was disappointed when her claim that her cat gave birth to puppies was debunked by a blood test. Cassia Aparecida de Souza, 18, said her cat, Mimi birthed three puppies and three kittens. While the claim seems far-fetched, it actually received a lot of attention by the media and the community. A local paper even asked geneticist Adil Pacheco to do a chromosome test to see whether the girl was right. When the results came back negative, he explained that sometimes mammals will nurse the young of another species, which is probably what gave Souza the impression that the cat birthed the puppies. Pacheco, director of the Institute of Biological Sciences of the University of Passo Fundo said, "People who aren't experts often imagine things. All the facts contradict her."
  22. Well, I linked Jim Carrey, the other day. And I'm not sure Jennifer Aniston was in much we can remember. So, I shall link to Morgan Freeman Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves Sean Connery
  23. Correct! Conan's first lines in the movie, some 20 minutes in. They really played to Ah-nuld's strengths. Go, George!
  24. Eh, lots of groups meet in homes (houses, apts, whatevers.) The low overhead (zero rental fee) makes it a choice for small groups and low budgets. I even knew one group where a guy rented an apt for church, which is smaller than using a whole building, of course...
