I only see two pictures: something that looks like a well (or a picture frame?) and a Post-it note. George

I may have already done this one a while ago, but... She wants to return those things I bought her. Tell her she can keep them, just the same. George

Yes. I just googled and found out I was right. So... "What was THAT?" "I believe it was the sound made by the Green Lantern when Sinestro threw him into a vat of acid." George

A note to video posters: when I was working at Dow, all videos (YouTube, etc.) were blocked and didn't even show up in posts. Please give the title and artist (and, if you wish, a video or link). George

That's got to be "Afternoon Delight" by the Starland Vocal Band. George

Got it in one! George

I don't know if I'm considered a "Big Leaguer," since most of my posts are in the less battle-scarred game and prayer threads, but occasionally I like to add my three cents (adjusted for inflation) to these. I find the give-and-take at Greasespot refreshing, although I must admit that seeing the same old battles resurfacing everywhere is a bit disheartening. And it works both ways. Someone in a "TWI Stinks" thread posts an experience, and a few "defend TWI at all costs" posters have to flame it, at BEST posting what they believe to be counterexamples, but usually just saying "I never saw that, and you can't prove it, so quit 'lying.'" Someone else starts a "remember this good thing from TWI" thread, and a bunch of others have to chime in with "VPW was a drunken, lying, serial rapist, so your experiences are invalid and how DARE you derive some benefit when others were hurt." Is there a solution to this? I really doubt it. In an ideal world, we'd all gauge the intent of the previous posters and calibrate our responses appopriately. The evidence here indicates that that just isn't going to happen. (Not that some don't try, of course.) Some of the suggestions here are compassionate but have flaws. For instance, Roy's suggestion of a "no rebuttal" thread (or, rather, forum) has the problem that anyone could post ANYTHING, no matter how untrue, and it would have to be taken at face value. Whereas I think it's wrong to dismiss posts about personal experiences as unprovable, if someone posts something that I KNOW to be untrue (I was there, or whatever), I should have the opportunity to rebut it. The "Ban the Wierwille Apologists" idea is draconian and, IMHO, just plain wrong-headed. If the purpose of GS is to help those who have endured TWI, then I believe it's important to have all viewpoints expressed. Obviously, Paw and the moderators can ban whomever they want; but wasn't allowing only one point of view one of the big problems with TWI? I also think that the suggestion that "Big Leaguers" may intimidate newbies with logic is rather silly. Logic is probably the only thing that will help set the newbies straight. I would only suggest that those who have been at this game a while remember what it was like to BE a newbie and temper their logic with compassion. (Sounds like an old Star Trek episode, with Spock and McCoy reading Kirk's last instructions!) Let us hear the conclusion of the matter: we are not all going to get along, but we can TRY to! George

"I worry. I mean, little things bother me. I'm a worrier. I mean, little insignificant details - I lose my appetite. I can't eat. My wife, she says to me, 'you know, you can really be pain.'" "I gotta take off this coat. I can't think in this coat...THE COAT, I can't think in the coat." "I don't thinks it's proving anything Doc, as a matter of fact I don't even know what it means. It's just one of those things that gets in my head and keeps rolling around in there like a marble." George

The only show I can recall with the word "terlit" is "All in the Family." George

"Elvira" is correct. I'm surprised no one knew it from the first lines, though. Go, bfh. George

"I never thought I would say this to you, but you are listening to your heart, not your head. That boy was created in a laboratory. His body, his mind, his instincts, are all designed to do one thing: to kill." "What do you want? Do you have any needs or desires of your own?" "I want to fight!" "Who? Me?" "No. The others." "Why?" "I don't know! But that's what I want to do! Is that wrong?" George

Giddyap, Folks! (ah oom pah pah mau mau) George

"Batman Begins"? George

Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring Sean Astin Rudy George

"Fresh Prince of Bel Air"? George

The second quote reminds me of the NG episode where Data loses his memory due to a radiation accident and wanders into a town similar to one in early 19th-century Earth. I think it's the same episode where Deanna takes the Command test nnd keeps failing the simulation until she sacrifices (holographic) Geordi to save the ship. When Datra gets his memory back, he's surprised to see Deanna as his superior officer. George

I think Steve! is giving it to WW, which is fine by me. I believe the episode was "Operation: Annihilate!" where enormous, flying brain cells attack Spock. The UV light would destroy the cells' influence, but McCoy used the whole spectrum of light, temporarily blinding Spock. (Thank heaven for Vulcan second eyelids!) George

Actually, It's "Unhappily Ever After," but close enough. George

To t'other George.. Have a great day, old man! And a cup of sake on me George

Raf! Good to see you, but now it's your turn to post one! George

"My mom and my dad are great. They have two kids. The End." "It's great to be president! You can get all the chicks. I wonder if Clinton found that out already." "Hey, Ryan, what does that thing say?" [looks back at the fridge] "Arr! Arr! I'm a refrigerator, I'm big and cold!" "Look what I got." "What is it? What is it?" "My college formula." "Aaw, I thought it was ice cream." "Kiss my cottontail!" George

Maybe you need two lines... Eyes that look like heaven, lips like sherry wine That girl can sure enough make my little light shine George

Yep! Linda GRAY; Joel GREY ANNA Kournikova TOMMY Lee Have at it! George
