  1. Indeed. The classic NG episode "Qpid." (The line was spoken by Worf.) George
  2. Actually, Speedy said that on a recent "Batman: The Brave and the Bold"; but I think you're looking for "The Adventures of Superman." George
  3. In lieu of hiway... "Be the ball, Billy. Be the ball." George
  4. Seizing the initiative here... I've got a song, ain't got no melody... George
  5. Sleuth Michael Caine Dirty Rotten Scoundrels George
  6. Raf, or anyone, want to give it a go? George
  7. Bumped up, in case anyone wants to try his/her hand. George
  8. Vermont wanted to leave, and we didn't let them? George
  9. Assuming that a secession could be achieved non-violently, the upsides would be not having to pay huge federal taxes to bail out failures like California, freedom to determine our own energy policy, and to determine education and health care policies that best fit our constituents (things that the federal government has no business doing), among others. What may come as a surprise to many people is tht Texas isn't just an energy economy; we have a large agrarian base, as well, so we'd be in a good position to be, if not self-sustaining, then sustainable by trade with other countries (including the 49 United States). :) It would be particularly sweet if we could "nationalize" the military bases here and not have to develop our own military from scratch, but I think Washington would object. ;) Since Medicare is paid largely by the states, anyway, that wouldn't change much; and we wouldn't have to subsidize Nebraska, etc. Although I'm not happy that Gov. Perry did accept some Obamamoney, it was a small amount, used to pay for educational supplies. Most Obamamoney offered had strings attached (set up entitlements that had to go on after the Obamamoney went away, etc.); this was refused. George
  10. "Well, whaddya think?" "I'm not sure, what do you think?" "I've got a bad feeling about him." "You do?" "Yeah, definitely. Don't you?" "Don't suppose you have any idea what the damn thing is, huh?" "Wish to hell we did." "I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do." George
  11. The circus performers line threw me. "The Princess Bride." George
  12. I was hoping that at least Maddy would have gotten this one. As Voyager episodes go, it was pretty memorable. In "Flashback," Tuvok is having psychotic episodes due to a repressed memory from early in his Starfleet career, when he was aboard the Excelsior at the time of "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country." Janeway agrees to help him by mind-melding, to get inside his memories. There were some obvious credibility concerns when Janeway is actually visible to the other crewmembers in Tuvok's memory; but it was nice to see Capt. Sulu, Cmdr. Janice Rand, and Kang. (I think this was an attempt to start a Sulu-based show.) Hailing frequencies open. (Free post!) George
  13. In that case, Jak se mas! George (family name originally Juraschek)
  14. I think that there is also the concept that God is no respecter of persons. Why would He want one particular subset of Christianity to speak in tongues, and not everyone else? Similarly, the desire for prosperity in 3 John 2 is addressed to a particular individual; but why would God want Gaius to prosper, and not other believers? George
  15. I would consider the comparison more cogent had Wierwille been beaten, whipped, stoned, and imprisoned, and then continued to preach his beliefs. Other than having some bad press, he didn't really suffer for his convictions. George
  16. This reminds me of a classic "Dilbert" cartoon. (I would post the cartoon if I could find it.) It's an exchange between the Pointy-Haired Boss and Dilbert and Wally: Boss: Our policy is to employ only the BEST technical professionals. Dilbert: Question. Isn't it also our policy to base salaries on the industry AVERAGE? Boss: Right. We like them bright but clueless. Wally: I feel sorry for people like that. In this case, I guess it would be "dedicated, and REALLY clueless," because the pay scale is well below "industry" average! :lol: George
  17. Hiway got it. Honor Blackman was the Bond girl, "Pus sy Galore." (Of course, the Austin Powers character "Alotta Vagina" was a direct spoof.) After having met her, Bond comes across her in a barn and exclaims her name. I suppose that if I could have typed it with his Scottish burr, it would have been more obvious. Go, hiway! George
  18. That's it. I saw it on cable adn loved it. And, if hiway29 is lurking, Jenette Kahn was Executive Producer! George
  19. Some cheesecake PICTURES of Dooj would be nice! ;) George
  20. Further off topic! Check this site for almost every misunderstood lyric: Kissthisguy.com Is this the only game thread left? Where is everybody? George
  21. God bless! You're the best! Seriously, I do wish only happiness for both of you. Now, if we have a BBQ next year, can we count you in? George
