"A Fistful of Datas." The holodeck program was the Western.

And I thought this was too tough. Go, Ca!

Ok, here's one for those folks not currently teenagers... :) "Pahhh-damuhquasi. NO, Paquamasoddy, No, no, Passamamassy, Uh, Quaddamapoddy, P-p-p-passamadaddy..." "Drag him from the cave, show him that I'm brave!"

Shall I give it until dawn?

*snicker* Oh, and there's no reason to leave blanks for the speakers, just don't name them, and end quotation marks so we know when the speaker changes.

Too easy with a quote that big. "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." From the end, when Charlie's tour ends abruptly.

I remember that stuff. I also remember having the teens pray. We got in prayers for everyone there, our families, the teens of the area, the ministry, and the community, in the time one of those really lengthy prayers.

Are you using Firefox? When I'm using IE, I see them, but not under Firefox. I think it's my Extensions/AddOns.

Correct, correct, and Zero Mostel. This was Mel Brooks' first movie. Bialystock was based on an actual producer- one who conned little old ladies out of money for his show-"Cash". Supposedly, each Mel Brooks movie has a reference to this one after- like Blazing Saddles playing the notes from "Springtime for Hitler", and Spaceballs mentioning Kafka (whose book "the Metamorphosis" was one of the scripts they rejected) and "metamophosis" together. Go, Raf!

Hint, hint: They threw out MRS WIERWILLE when that happened- what makes you think you have more influence than her?

Showoff! It's your turn! :)

I really like the idea of the other-coloured cards with "benefits" on one side.

"No way out. No way out. No way out. No way out. No way out." "Let's assume, just for the moment, that you are a dishonest man." "Assume away." "Ooh, I fell on my keys! " "About six months... but I'm on probation, so it's all good, baby!" "No, I mean, what do you do best?" "I can't do that here. That's why they put me away, baby! " "He who signs a lease must pay rent. That's the law." "You miserable wretch! How dare you take the last penny out of a poor man's pocket?" "I have to. I'm a landlord." "Oh, Lord, hear my plea; destroy him! He maketh a blight on the land!" "Don't listen to him; he's crazy. " I'm confident SOME of you saw it, and you've all heard of it. And remember to be specific....

" A Society gentleman would only go out with you for one reason. To have a good time a few laughs and a little vo-deo-do-do." "I dont vo-deo-do-do!" "You vo-deo-do-do." "I don't vo-deo-do-do." "You vo-deo." "Once. I was going steady a whole year." "I am going to mold you. How does that make you feel?" "Like old bread." "The only kinda parties we've ever been to are bring your own! "I like bringin' my own... then I know what I'm gettin'." "I'm telling you, flying is safer than driving! Nobody has ever crashed into a cloud!" "Yeah well nobody ever fell 40,000 feet from a DeSoto either."

I was thinking "as opposed to the tv show, which I know much better." ============== Ok, another movie, let's see.... "No way out. No way out. No way out. No way out. No way out." "Let's assume, just for the moment, that you are a dishonest man." "Assume away."
-
Ok, that one's the original M*A*S*H* movie.
-
Nope. " A Society gentleman would only go out with you for one reason. To have a good time a few laughs and a little vo-deo-do-do." "I dont vo-deo-do-do!" "You vo-deo-do-do." "I don't vo-deo-do-do." "You vo-deo." "Once. I was going steady a whole year." "I am going to mold you. How does that make you feel?" "Like old bread."

The quote about the olives sounds very familiar, but I can't place it yet...

So was it "Benson"?

I've recognized a few, but THOSE get named immediately.

I agree with you. The point I was TRYING to make was that this was not meant as a blanket dismissal of ALL critics, and ALL criticism, at ALL times. However, if one only reads the opening, one may get a false impression of that. When someone is in their giving it their all, just sitting on the sidelines with a microphone falls far short of their endeavour.

Seems someone's forgetting the contents of other threads as soon as they leave them. Here's something from the Plagiarism 101 thread specifically concerning Public Domain and citation. ============= Now then, Some people are under the impression that there is an exemption to plagiarism- that you can freely plagiarize works that are not protected by copyright. This is untrue, and either reflects an inadequate education on the subject of plagiarism, copyright, or on PUBLIC DOMAIN, which is the term for works not protected by copyright. I quote again... http://www.turnitin.com/research_site/e_faqs.html "Works that are no longer protected by copyright, or never have been, are considered "public domain." This means that you may freely borrow material from these works without fear of plagiarism, provided you make proper attributions." Emphasis mine. (same source) "When do I need to cite? Whenever you borrow words or ideas, you need to acknowledge their source." Seems to be misunderstanding what Public Domain means. http://www.kyvl.org/html/tutorial/research/glossary.shtml "Public Domain Works in the public domain may be copied, distributed, or sold without restriction or prior permission." http://www.lib.jmu.edu/gold/mod7ethics.htm "Whether an information source is copyrighted or in the public domain, you should cite it if you quote or paraphrase it in your paper or speech." (That's from James Madison University, Harrisonburg, Va.) Something being unprotected by copyright does not mean the sources should not be cited. Sources should ALWAYS be cited, and one should not need the force of law (which DOES enforce this) to see that this should be so. That's not what copyright was designed for. http://www.templetons.com/brad/copymyths.html "It must be remembered that copyright has two main purposes, namely the protection of the author's right to obtain commercial benefit from valuable work, and more recently the protection of the author's general right to control how a work is used." Neither of those means citations are required BECAUSE OF COPYRIGHT. Copyright affects how much of the original source can be used, and the author's ability to recover damages legally if the law is broken. So, how does one plagiarize something in the open domain? Well, it does not have protections against how much can be used. It does not have the power for the author to recover monetary damages. HOWEVER, that does not mean the source is not LEGALLY REQUIRED to be cited. That's a crime against society, and the government can sue on behalf of the public, either as a misdemeanor or a FRAUD (if the publication earned more than $2,500), and FRAUD IS A FELONY. For those of you who will insist that there has to be an injured SPECIFIC person for there to be a crime, I'd like to point out that the law does not see it that way. If a single man who makes lots of money hires a high-class prostitute (call-girl) in the State of New York, he and she have committed a crime. Society is deemed to be the victim, regardless of the consent of all parties. (Don't like that? Write your congressman.)

Here's another difference which SHOULD be obvious, which I'll include anyway. If "Are the Dead Alive Now" had numbers and endnotes in the book that referenced Bullinger's 2 books, then ADAN would have been perfectly legal. "Babylon Mystery Religion" did, and nobody claims that book was ruined by the presence of the legally-mandated endnotes existing. Since neither of Bullinger's (public domain) books were cited, it was a crime. So long as they were cited all the way thru, vpw could legally have rewritten Bullinger's books into ADAN, and been completely within the bounds of the law. He could even have printed a run of the 2 Bullinger books bound together as a single volume and made a profit off of them-so long as they were properly credited as being Bullinger's books.
