"So let it be written; so let it be done!" George

I ALWAYS called myself a Christian as a Wayfer. It made more sense than "not-Trinitarian." VPW pointed out in PFAL that beleivers were called "that way" before they were called Christians, but I don't ever recall Christian being used as a derogatory term in TWI. George

About the only thing everyone in GS has in common is some association with TWI. Most of us are out (from very recently to decades); some are in; some have family or friends who are in. In general, you will find that most of us had bad experiences. Poking fun at TWI or its leaders is a way to release those experiences. It's also a way to warn innie "lurkers" that life in Wayworld isn't what its salesmen represent it as. At any rate, it should be no concern of yours how long someone has been posting here. If you feel you have nothing to learn or to contribute, you're free to move on. If you feel you DO have something to learn or to contribute, feel free to stay. But tone down the attitude! First impressions, and all. Didn't VP recommend How to Win Friends and Influence People? ;) George

Same here. Interestingly, it always says I am teh only user of Shoutbox. George

I think we need a few more lines. George

"The Natural"? George

When I first moved to the Houston area, the C@gles were branch leaders and were very active in witnessing. They pushed others to go out witnessing, often every night for a couple of weeks, but they were always right there in the thick of it. The P@nnerellos were also active in their part of town. That's probably why Houston went from about fifteen twigs to something like 60 in the early to mid '80's. (Many of the grads had never been involved in an audiotape class, because classes were easily drawing 15 or more new students.) In later years, this dropped off some (probably becuase of so many Corps departures). Still, when Rise and Expansion classes ran, Corps were out there door-to-door with the rest of us. Side note: I still remember Paul Mosq... telling everyone that we were going door-to-door after some session or other and then seeing the response: YEAAAAY! Sh-t! :lol: George

OK, Fine. It's "Silent Enemy." An unknown race (never again seen) not only kicks the Enterprise's butt in a fight, but also boards the ship and leaves surveillance equipment. Archer decides to head home to get the ship's weapons up to speed, but Trip and Malcolm fix them first. Enterprise then kicks the aliens' butts. The secondary plot involves Archer tasking Hoshi with finding out Malcolm's favorite food for a birthday surprise. Dr. Phlox points out that Malcolm takes injections to alleviate an allergy to pineapple. WW, at least you got the series. Go ahead! George

Ever since the new system has been up, I haven't been able to access "Songs Remembered..." or "Flicks Remembered..." using Internet Explorer. I get a nasty sound and an error message. Now I use Mozilla for Greasespot Cafe. The problems don't seem to happen when I use it. George

You really don't want to upload pictures, you want to insert the images using the "picture" icon above the reply box. I wrote a more detailed version of the instructions on p. 22 of the "Movie Pictionary" thread, but here's a condensed version: Open a second window of your browser, so you can find pictures in one and use the other to post here. Search images in your browser to find the one you want. Generally, pictures on a blog site or Flickr don't work well. Size doesn't really matter, but I prefer images about 250-400 on a side. Click the thumbnail of the picture to open the full sized pic. Right-click, and click properties. Copy the URL. Go back to Greasespot, and click the picture icon. Paste the URL into the message box and click Enter. You won't see the picture, but there will be a line between "img" brackets. Click Enter to go to the next line, and go find another pic. Repeat until you have the whole puzzle. Before "adding reply" I suggest "previewing post" just to make sure all teh pics work right. You may have to replace one of your pics, if it doesn't come up for some reason. Let's pretend we're in "Movie Pictionary" doing "The King of Hearts" (a bizarre film that showed continuously at a theater in Boston for over ten years). I plan to do this with a single picture. I would like a picture of that particular card without the heart symbolk (to make it a bit tougher), but I don't see one. So I chose another; the numbers under the thumbnail indicate its size is 300x400, so I click the thumbnail to open the picture, and then open the properties, copying the URL: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AvfLqN0wLTg/SjqI3-WokwI/AAAAAAAAAJs/nLsK704z_XY/s400/king+of+hearts.jpg. It turns out to be on a blog, so I pick another: http://www.calculateme.com/MySpace/background-images/king-of-hearts.gif I use the picture icon as explained above to insert the picture: Previewing the post shows that it will insert appropriately, so I go ahead and "add reply" George

That's exactly what it means! Give it a shot. (IMP + LANES + HITE = In Plain Sight) George

Not Erica Jong but Shere --. Not alley but --. George

She's a psychologist popular in the 70's for examining women's sexuality. George

Will it help if I mention that the first picture is an imp? George

You're right, Chief! (May I call you that?) ;) George

"I told that girl not to..." "Please don't blame your receptionist, she doesn't even know I'm in here." "What do you mean she doesn't know? How did you get past her?" "Well, I didn't you see, I came in through the window." "I give you all the best lines, all the best gags, but that isn't good enough, You have to add lines of your own. What are you trying to do, take over the act?" "Look at him, sitting there so innocently. "In the shade of the old apple tree." "Down by the old mill stream." "Eleven and a half." He knows he's fourteen. He's been fourteen for the last ten years!" George

That's it, of course. You're up! George

Do I believe "believing equals receiving"? No. Do I believe many of the tenets of the PFAL class? Yes. I believe in Bullinger's keys to Biblical interpretation. I believe in the manifestations of holy spirit. George

It's... [cue the "liberty Bell" march]... Monty Python's Flying Circus! George

The name didn't ring a bell, so I googled his pictures. He doesn't look familiar, either. George

I'm almost tempted to give it to you on that alone, but I'd prefer to hav more of the MAIN plot. See if this helps: "I assume you planted that device because you wanted to learn more about us. I'll be happy to give you a quick lesson. We're not here to make enemies. But just because we're not looking for a fight, doesn't mean we'll run away from one. You may think you've left us defenseless, but let me tell you something about humans. We don't give up easily. We'll protect Enterprise.... any way we can." "In the old days Astronauts rode rockets with millions of litres of hydrogen burning into their seats. Do you think they said 'Gee, I'd like to go to the Moon today but it seems a little risky'. I think that if you asked any one onboard whether this mission was worth the risk, you'd get the same answer from everyone of them". "By the time we reach Jupiter Station, I don't want their engineers to have a thing to do but give us a wash and a wax." "You looking forward to seeing Earth?" "Sure. I just didn't think I'd be seeing it so soon!" "This time, we won't be leaving before we're ready." "Are your ears a little pointier than usual?" "You missed T'Pol's latest bout with chopsticks." "Damn! Dinner and a show." "You're sure there's nothing down there?" "Yes, Captain." "Not even a microbe? I don't want to blow up something that could evolve into a sentient species in a couple of billion years." "Pineapple? My favorite! How did you know?" "We have our sources." "Maybe they checked us out and decided we weren't very interesting." "Us? Not interesting?" George

Okay, but I would have been happy to let someone else get the real title! (Please forgive some of the language here.) "Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the *****, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days." George

This is from a classic, parodied later in "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" with the line "Just dial. You know how to dial, don't you? Just put your finger in the hole and make little circles." Sadly, I don't remember the movie which you quoted! George

"You're sure there's nothing down there?" "Yes, Captain." "Not even a microbe? I don't want to blow up something that could evolve into a sentient species in a couple of billion years." "Pineapple? My favorite! How did you know?" "We have our sources." "Maybe they checked us out and decided we weren't very interesting." "Us? Not interesting?" George

MAJOR senior moment there! First, I confused "Wrath Of Khan" with "Search for Spock" and then confused Dee Wallace with Bibi Besch. Though, there is a good resemblance: Sorry, but let's play on with Russell Brand. George
