Yeah – I agree – must be something common with many Grease Spotters – that feeling of disappointment when we discover that an organization, we thought was so altruistic was instead very exploitative of their followers – run more classes…push abundant sharing…sponsor people in the way corps program…money, money, money…and oh yeah, the way corps program – we got to be around top leadership during our in-residence “training” ( i.e. hardcore isolated indoctrination) and got to witness firsthand the inconsistencies between the actions of top leadership and the ideals they supposedly represent. It is like being through a war…a war for your soul – as you recently mentioned on another thread – here – that is the real cost of their class or anything else they offer – your soul !

That’s amazing because a great great great great great great great great great great descendant of Noah is Michael Scott, and he also is a seafaring lad.

Truer words were never spoken !!!!!! welcome to Grease Spot Cafe, Cynthia !

Here’s a little-known Star Wars Fact: Before Darth Vader froze Han Solo in carbonite, he first tried it on Yogi, a distant cousin of Chewbacca.

He was really perplexed. The treasure map said nothing about a fork in the road, a fork in the bridge or even a fork in the tree. The fortune hunter thought to himself “If I had drawn up this treasure map you could bet your G-P-A$$ I would have had it all forked-up.”

Forestry Treeage (pronounced trēˈäZH ) : Forestry worker’s preliminary assessment of tree patients or truck casualties in order to determine the urgency of their need for treatment and the nature of treatment required.

Mr. Bolshevik that shouldn’t be a problem unless there’s a problem in the Way a Tree will split any further…but I have to say that picture has treemendous import domestic…I was wondering how you managed to pick up that pickup. That’s something that’s been on my lift list for a log time. I believe the trunk coordinator had the same model.

Sam and Kathleen forgot that every Wednesday fellowship was cosplay on the book of Romans. Everyone had so much fun during twig, Hank totally forgot about the blocked driveway issue. Things got a little dicey when Sam pointed out that 69 in Roman numerals is LXIX.

Yeah, I remember that well…my wife and I met as WOWs in 1976 in Washington DC…yeah the bull$hit conspiracy hype was that us WOWs saved our country from going under …man were we full-o-$hit! That’s what we became after buying into wierwille’s bull$hit…unfortunately we kept buying into it…so my wife and I went into the Way Corps program a few years after WOW…but left in ’86 when exceedingly abundantly above all nonsense broke loose.

In a sort-of-related theme Star Trek has had similar issues with baldness and British actor Patrick Stewart – see Sci-Fi Stack Exchange: Did Patrick Stewart wear a toupee for his The Next Generation audition? and Shatner’s Toupee Blogspot: Gene Roddenberry: "I don't want a bald man." …also I have Star Trek: The Next Generation The Complete Series on Blu-ray and there’s a short bit about that in extras…dearly depilated.

Mrs. TWItelbaum: Sam, I hate to be the nagging wife…but you park right in front of his driveway like you have been doing every night for the past 6 months. Don’t make me use your own heater on you. Remember the plan, sweetheart. Hank is too chicken-$hit to ask us to quit blocking his driveway. You know he can’t keep his temper forever. I can tell he’s right on the verge of blowing his cool. He’s gonna pop soon…and when he does…it’s gonna be right in front of the entire fellowship. He’s not even an Advanced Class grad! He won’t know what to do. He’ll get demoted…we pick up the pieces and then we’ll have what we always wanted...our very own twig. ...No fuss, no muss, no running back-to-back PFAL classes to start a new twig. we can make the twig go bar-witnessing anytime we want.

Damn... they’re at it again… I shoulda confronted the TWItelbaums last week about blocking my driveway when I had the liquid courage to do so... I oughta slam back a few Scarlet O’Haras…and…and…and teach about thou shalt not cover thy neighbors driveway.

Now get this straight. You paid a hundred clams, so you’re gonna get your money’s worth. But it’s twelve damn nights of unrelenting boring $hit and you better be there for all twelve nights. If you pull double-duty and catch some Z’s that’s your business. When the good doctor…and I use that term loosely…tells you to stand and bark like a dog…you better stand and bark like a dog. And after you finish this class don’t be a stranger around here. If your a$$ ain’t falling asleep in the next PFAL class you’re as good as marked and avoided.

Oh, for crying out loud. Every time the TWItelbaums come to fellowship they completely block our driveway. I swear…tonight is the night I confront them about it…Gonna need a little liquid courage first.

I’m telling you the blue-plate special is kaka. I’d go with the chopped liver sandwich if I were you.

Then for some reason, the rules for shadow puppets were changed. We could keep using real bullets, but now we had to use fake guns.

I think being a T-Rex would be better than being a superhero...because you don't have to wear a silly costume.

Now Bones, the trick is to set your phaser to trim. It sounds like you left yours on stun.

It was during one of their weekly fisticuffs that the old sailor had second thoughts about switching to kale. It had a much more earthy taste…but it also had 22 percent of the recommended dietary intake of vitamin C compared to spinach’s measly 9 percent. But he also knew it contained goitrogens which can interfere with thyroid function – and that can impact his metabolism and cause symptoms like fatigue…and right now he was really feeling worn out.

Seriously, Belle. What if we post short clips of us dancing on Tik Tok? Lumiere has an iPhone 13 Pro Max, he could video us. Who knows, we need some side gig since we don’t get diddly-squat from Disney royalties.

Captain Picard I was wondering…since your Enterprise is so much bigger than our dinky ship – could we run a Public Ex on it? If you or any of your crew haven’t yet heard about our class you’re welcome to attend.

Jim, I’m telling you it’s that same stupid $hit you had to deal with before… only now they’re calling it PFAL Today ...I guess "The Next Generation" was already taken...although they've never been averse to plagiarism.

Hey guys, wait a minute…I ran the signal through an Ovaltine Secret Decoder Ring that my great great exceedingly abundantly above typical greatness grandmother left me…hmmm... wait now...let me double check this…i before e except after c ...zoom, zoom carry the 2…yeah…I’ll be doggone! It’s a distressing signal alright... and it repeats itself every 12th session…it says " take PFAL again "

Captain, even if I give the Betamax more power the students are still going to fall asleep!

Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor - not a theologian! ...and he's not even a real doctor.
