All right. How about this: A guy helps his ex-wife's boss get rid of overbearing visitors. George

"Your Honor, every one of these letters is addressed to Santa Claus. The Post Office has delivered them. Therefore the Post Office Department, a branch of the Federal Governent, recognizes this man Kris Kringle to be the one and only Santa Claus." "Uh, since the United States Government declares this man to be Santa Claus, this court will not dispute it. Case dismissed!" George

Right you are, twinkish one! Whence is correctly an adverb or conjunction, not a pronoun. See, howeverm this note from freedictionary.com" Usage Note: The construction from whence has been criticized as redundant since the 18th century. It is true that whence incorporates the sense of from: a remote village, whence little news reached the wider world. But from whence has been used steadily by reputable writers since the 14th century, most notably in the King James Bible: "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help" (Psalms). Such a respectable precedent makes it difficult to label the construction as incorrect. Still, it may be observed that whence (like thence) is most often used nowadays to impart an archaic or highly formal tone to a passage, and that this effect is probably better realized if the archaic syntax of the word without from is preserved as well. George

And a tad sophomoric. Is this an "anyone can post anytime" thread, or are you going to give us a daily treat? George

I would guess that this is the same film as your "Flicks remembered..." answer. Here, as there, though, I can't discern between many films based on the same story. George

Correct (though I think it was actually spelled Arli$$)! Go, Steve!! George

I'm glad to see that SOMEONE still wants to play. CHAIN + GEL + (Bai) LING = "Changeling." Go, Steve!! George

No. Here's a hint: the "cousin" was atrinket that Crodon had with him. George

It's obviously one of the various "Christmas Carol" films, but I couldn't say which. George

I think that this is an extension of the concept of "expanded literal translation according to usage." (See my previous post, re: charity!) Since others have already mentioned HoHo and Happy Hearts Day, let's not forget "Bless and Treat." <_< George

Incidentally, it should be "Whence are you from?". ;) George

What a darling little boy! Of course, I'm a bit partial to these two: Young Batman and Robin George

"How do you stand it, changeling, living where you don't belong? Are you happy?" "I'm as much a part of the place as anyone else." "Oh, I doubt it. They tolerate you, but you're not one of them. Being what you are, you can pour your square shape into a round hole, but you don't really fit, do you?" "Don't you feed your prisoners?" "The fact that you just killed a man doesn't affect your appetite?" "It was him or me. And if he'd have killed me, I wouldn't be hungry now." "That... Croden... is an interesting character." "I wouldn't know." "Really? I thought you said you got to know him rather well." "I never told you that! I merely said we chatted when he bought a drink or two." "I've talked to several people who saw the two of you engaged in heavy conversations, while Morn here says you even bought the fellow a meal." "Morn should keep his big mouth shut!" "I'm sorry if I made things awkward; I didn't have much choice." "Why not?" "My needs exceed my skills." "Home? Where is it? Some day we'll know... cousin." "Have you known any twinned Miradorn, commander?" "I'm afraid I haven't met any before now." "In my species, we are not just twin brothers... together we are a self... two halves of one being. I am incomplete now." "You could've left me behind." "Don't thank me, I already regret it." George

I found Waydale about a year before it closed. I think I posted a few times as GreenLantern. (It was so long ago...) George

Of course faith was almost always supplanted by believing. And then there was charity, which became the love of God in the renewed mind in manifestation in the household. George

Not on my playlist, either. The hard part about this thread is to find songs that are almost universally popular. George

Catwoman Sharon Stone Basic Instinct George

That's it! George

Okay, then... "Must go faster! Must go faster! Go! Go! Go!" George

Not ringing any bells here... George

I would suggest that mathematical axioms are necessary only insofar as one needs mathematics. The rules of mathematics are based on definitions of operators and some axioms, from which the remainder can be deduced. One doesn't need to presuppose a God in order to have a worldview, but one either believes that God exists or does not exist. Either belief is a non-falsifiable assumption, i.e., an axiom; and one's worldview will be based on it and conclusions derived from it. I also want to make clear that every axiom is an assumption, but not every assumption is an axiom. If the assumption is testable or can be derived from other, more basic, concepts, it is not an axiom. George

Do not exist. These would be conclusions, not axioms. I don't know what "your point" is. My point is that we all make assumptions upon which we base our conclusions. The examples I gave were not "straw men"; they were accepted examples of axioms to demonstrate my point. What "proven/established logic and evidence" is the basis for your belief system? George

That sounds really familiar, but I can't quite place it. George
