William Fichtner Elysium Jodie Foster :) Matt Damon George

"Not very good at this whole subtlety thing, are you?" "Did you disable the alarm?" "There's no alarm on the 307." [alarm immediately begins wailing] "Loving your work, Cowboy." George

"Avengers: Age of Ultron"? George

Well, the second two-thirds would be "Sky High Anxiety." That might be the whole title, too, since you're hinting at a (semi-)stealth triple. I don't recognize the first movie; could it be called "Sky"? George

I'm impressed. It was, in fact, "Hot Dog." It was a light-hearted science show, basically. Each episode had a few short segments. There were only 13 shows; each was aired, and then three sets of reruns finished the year. I specifically remember one segment about skiing. Woody Allen said that he always skied uphill. Not only was it better exercise, but the ski lifts were invariably empty, going down. :lol: Have at it, Wolfman! George

It was Lepetomane that gave it to me. Then the others fell into place. George

I looked at Wikipedia. Markie Post would have played the new (older) Electra Woman. I understand that the pilot is on YouTube, but I haven't checked. I assume you're old enough to have appreciated Markie Post's charms. ;) I'm not going to give several choices here, but this one is a bit obscure. If no one gets it after a few clues, I'll try another. This Saturday-morning show ran from 9/12/70-9/4/71. It starred Jonathan Winters, Woody Allen, and Jo Anne Worley. George

Mel Brooks? :) George

Finally, one I remember (probably because of the hot female cast): G: Electra Woman and Dyna Girl George

Charlton Heston? George

I wasn't sure if it was IM 1, 2, or 3. :) Note the WHOLE exchange: "I'll be back." "Only in the reruns, darling." George

"Iron Man"? George

Not nearly as useful in Houston as in New Knoxville. :) George

Sorry. Seriously, that reminds me of another tangent (though at least partly pertinent to the gauntlet theme): nametags. Remember when there were a few tags: Way Corps, WOW, Advanced Class, maybe Way College? Then, there started to be a plethora of nametags. (Would you say I have a "plethora" of nametags, Jefe?) Something for every class, every state. "CFS, Illinois, 1987"; "10xPFAL Club"; "Heard the Word, 1990." OK, I made those up; but they're not too different from the ones which were actually circulating. I think people were just envious of the pinholes on the shirts of Corps and wanted to emulate them. George

Well, there's also 2 Tim 3:12: All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. And Stephen in Acts. Hard to say he was stoned to death for lack of believing, when he was in the midst of a full-blown vision of Christ in his glory. :) George

Isn't that always the way? :lol: None of the shows, sadly, are ringing any bells. George

No reason to be ashamed of being a HtD fan. The movie wasn't terrific, I'll admit. George

The big problem with the "You're sick because of your lack of believing" doctrine is that it put people in condemnation. I'm reminded of John 9, where the Pharisees ask, "Who did sin, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" To which Jesus responded, "Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents (so quit trying to blame them)." Crap happens because we have an adversary, and it's always a great joy to see a miraculous healing. If the miracle doesn't happen, we know we still have the final victory. I wonder if VPW ever condemned himself for his cancer. George

Yep. I would have given it away next, with Lorraine McFly; but you got it first. Which one(s) gave it away? Caroline (In the City) Duffy? George

Lisa Lietzke Erica Mason Beverly Switzler Alice Mitchell Caroline Duffy George

Sadly, I've HAD managers like that. (Not all, but some.) George

Sorry. I got nuthin'. George

This one may be a little tougher, as the actress, while quite recognizable in a couple of roles, isn't an A-lister. Beverly Switzler Alice Mitchell Caroline Duffy George

Aparently, my thinking on the subject hasn't changed in ten years. :)/> From the link skyrider posted: "I remember when I first heard that the Corps were all going to be salaried. I thought, "Either LCM is believing for a miracle, or he's an idiot." Turn all the cash-supplying Corps into cash sinks, all the while running off everyone else who was sending in ABS. I guess the miracle never appeared." George

And the "paid" Corps on the field got a subsistence wage. I seem to recall my Branch Leader and his wife sharing an apartment with a couple of other guys. And if you wanted to bless them with a gift (especially cash), they couldn't accept it, because it was a "bribe." Of course, when LCM came into town, there were ALL SORTS of gifts for the MOG. George
