It's not really mandatory. Being able to post the next lyric, quote, or puzzle was considered the PRIZE for guessing one. I guess the thrill is gone. <_< George

I would agree. I notice that all of the game threads have been quiet lately. People are either busy, or just don't want to post a new clue, so they don't answer the present puzzle. George

What the heck does that mean? I, for one had many years of "good times" while in TWI. As pointed out by other posters, this had more to do with "lower-level" believers caring for each other than top-down directives. How does that affect you, in the least? George

Maiden, or "Mathman"'s? ;) George

Yes! Happy Birthday Rascal! Hope to see you again in the fall. George

(Edited to add one more babe) George

This should give it away. "Starfish, I would just like to say that I'm honored, honored to see you taking an interest in my work and I also think you're very pretty and... (sees girls getting scuba gear on) Starfish? Where are you going? Starfish are you going swimming? Where are you going? Where are you going again Starfish? Was it the Chad?" "No the Chad was great." "The Chad was great." "Oh, my God, you're hit!" "No, it's nothing. I mean the squibs hurt a little when they go off but... what happened to my trailer?" "Were you in there while that happened? I mean, look at it!" "Jason, I haven't been completely honest with you. I'm not a bikini waxer." "Bummer. I mean... that was kind of a turn on." "What do you call this?" "Chinese fighting muffin." "That's not funny. A friend of mine took a fighting muffin in the chest; they sent him home in four Ziploc bags." "You're very good. With your hands. I could use someone like you on my staff." "Thanks for the offer but my hands aren't going anywhere near your staff." "How about Thursday?" "Thursday is my FAVORITE day!" "I'll get tickets." "I LOVE tickets!" "What do you know, a guy who speaks Natalie." George

I think that perhaps if you had given your take on these in your first post, the discussion might have taken a different course. With one or two exceptions, I think it's fair to surmise that no one here follows TWI dicta (like the Corps Principles) literally. I doubt, though, that many would take exception with your personal adaptations. George

Cheers to you and Twinky! George

Call it a hunch (or perhaps, in-depth spiritual perception), but I think Imagine has adapted CP4 to be tithing (or other giving) to his (her?) church, not to TWI. George

All right. It was "Sleeping Dogs." First season, Archer and crew find a disabled Klingon ship. Hilarity ensues. The female commander of the ship repays Archer's kindness by trying to take over the Enterprise. He finally acts like a Klingon and gets really bossy. She leaves. Free post! George

All right then, I'll try another. <_< five pics, need names George

I always thought he looks like Peyton Manning: George

two pics, one name George

Sorry, my hirsute friend. No idea on this one, either. (It's like posting an Enterprise episode on the Star Trek thread!) ;) George

Okay. Here are all the Memory-Alpha quotes for the episode (including speakers' names, since we know it's an Enterprise episode). If you don't remember the plot, make one up; you'll probably be close enough! ;) "You know, I read if they sense a leader's weak they'll try to kill him and take command." - Trip Tucker, offering advice to Archer on how to deal with their Klingon captive "Remind me to stop trying to help people." - Archer, to Tucker, after a futile attempt at negotiation "I found these schematics in the Vulcan database. It's a Raptor-class scout vessel." "How long will it last down there?" "Its hull's at least twice as thick as ours, reinforced with some kind of coherent molecular alloy." "Yeah, it's a tough little ship, but it can't hold up under that pressure forever." - Mayweather, Archer, and Tucker, discussing the Klingon vessel "Ah, the one time we need our chief engineer is the one time we leave him behind." - Reed, lamenting Tucker's omission from the away team "I think I might have made a tactical error dealing with the Klingon woman. I asked her for help. She could see that as a sign of weakness." "You been boning up on your Klingon psychology?" "We've run into them three times, and every time they've wanted to destroy us. I'd love to figure out why." "Well, maybe the best thing is just to steer clear of them." "That might not be so easy, but we could use their help right now. If we could reestablish a com signal with T'Pol and the others, the Klingon woman could probably talk them through the repairs. But she's got a thousand generations of instinct telling her not to trust me." "Well, maybe it's time you started thinking like a Klingon." - Archer and Tucker "It's called gagh. It's a Klingon delicacy, but only when they're alive." "They look like worms." "They are worms." - T'Pol and Sato, searching the galley of the Klingon ship "Are you all right?" "I promised myself I wouldn't do this." "You're in a dangerous situation in an alien environment. Your anxiety is understandable." "Don't you mean, 'for aHuman' ?" "You can't deny your nature." - Sato and T'Pol "I decided to take your advice about thinking like a Klingon. The Vulcan database has about 900 pages on them." "Learn anything?" "Plenty. They're driven by a warrior mentality. They tend to view anyone they meet as a potential enemy." "That may explain why our guest is so irritable." - Archer to Tucker "There was a raid." "Yes..." (Archer pauses to wait for Bu'kaH to volunteer more details, then continues...) "I can understand your not wanting to talk about it if the raid went badly for you." "The Xarantines are no match for us! We attacked their outpost and took what we wanted." "And that included some Xarantine ale?" (She nods, defiantly) "Did your whole crew drink it?" "The triumph belonged to all." "I'll take that as a yes." - Bu'kaH, Archer, and Phlox discuss the Klingons' activities prior to to falling ill "This was your plan? To grope around in the darkness and hope to stumble upon my ship?" "That's how we found it the first time." - Bu'kaH to Archer "I kept your seat warm for you." - Tucker, to Archer, on his return to the bridge "Prepare to surrender your vessel." "Maybe your engineer neglected to tell you, but, uh, we just saved you and your crew." "You violated our ship, accessed our weapons." "It was either that or stand by and watch you get crushed." - The Klingon captain and Archer "You wouldn't last ten seconds in a battle with us. You've got multiple hull breaches, your shields are down, and from what I'm told, you're fresh out of torpedoes. If I were you, I'd take what little honor I had left and go home. Fire one shot, and I'll blast you right back to where we found you." - Archer to the Klingon captain "Oh, it certainly feels nice to be clean again." "It is...pleasant." - Reed and T'Pol, enjoying their extended stay in decon "Do you smell that?" "I don't smell anything." "Exactly." - Sato and T'Pol George

Bluzenan? George

Hiway? George

"You're very good. With your hands. I could use someone like you on my staff." "Thanks for the offer but my hands aren't going anywhere near your staff." "How about Thursday?" "Thursday is my FAVORITE day!" "I'll get tickets." "I LOVE tickets!" "What do you know, a guy who speaks Natalie." George

OK. Fine. "Survivor." George

Hey, PD! The purple equivalent of the Green Lanterns are the Star Sapphires, whose jewels are powered by love (as opposed to the GL rings, powered by will). HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! George

Raf? George

And if Waysider doesn't know it, I REALLY have no clue! George
