I also thought it was well done. The Countess objects to the sex, but isn't that what Henry VIII was about? :) Season 2 was as good as Season 1, Chas. I look forward to Season 3. George

"Aww! Turn Blue." "This is a special delivery for Dad from the Universal Alumni Association." "I wonder how much money they want now." "Why don't you hold it up to the light so you can see it better?" "Never thought of that. [Holds it up to the light] Can't see a thing." "As long as it's addressed to me, do you mind letting me have it?" "I saw your insurance chart once and it says the life expectancy of the average man is..." "For your information, I look barely in my '40s. That hardly qualifies me for the home for the aged. Yet." "You've been around so long and seen so much and done so much, and still manage to look so good." "Thanks a lot!" "I think you look real young. Honest. Younger than Joe Phillips' dad, younger than Claude Mesner's uncle, why even younger than..." "Before you have me back in kindergarten, see who's at the door, will you?" George

Still not getting it... How about a hint: current show, or oldie? network or cable? George

Need more quotes, I think.... George

Alfre Woodard Star Trek: First Contact Patrick Stewart George

"Happy Together" by the Turtles. Waiting for the break of day. George

I'm sure kids are allowed (though, of course, ex10 has the final say), as NiKa's were there last year. There just aren't any activities geared for yougsters. How old are they? Maybe I can bring along some comic books. George

That would be "The 59th Street Bridge Song." Correct. Go. George

And my point was that even if he WAS raised in the group, and groomed, etc., he still could have made the choice of his own accord. George

Hello, lamppost, whatcha knowin'? I've come to watch your flowers growin'. George

You don't know that, WW. Although it's unlikely that he's aware of the faults of TWI and has still chosen to remain, it certainly COULD be the case. George

Well, if you're going to be THAT PICKY... ;) George

"Shattered Glass"? George

"Ticket to Ride" by the Beatles? George

That would have been my guess. George

The Countess and I moved this year, one of the reasons being to eliminate the need to evacuate. Of course, a REAL storm running right over us would be disastrous, but we're far enough from the coast that a storm surge isn't a problem anymore. Still to early to get really concerned, though. George

Well, it's not as if we'd ever communicate with them, anyway. I can just see some beings thousands of light-years away picking up one of our broadcast (thousands of years later, of course): Quick! Dispatch a mission to this "Earth." Gilligan and his friends are in real trouble! George

I remember LCM ranting about "the only reason for a space program is military dominance!" I disagreed, of course; and it was one of the reasons I got booted from TWI. For me, Psalm 19 is plenty of reason for a space program (i.e., to learn more about God). No particular reason to LIVE on other planets, though. George

Houston Intercontinental is the old name. It was renamed after (Papa) Bush a few years ago. George

After Buck picks up his niece, they get "Bug" out of the trunk. Buck tees off at him with a driver. (The actual "weapons," I suppose, were the golf balls.) George

I think we have another Fay: stick on or close to land, never really strengthen, hopefully move on a little more quickly! George

"I saw your insurance chart once and it says the life expectancy of the average man is..." "For your information, I look barely in my '40s. That hardly qualifies me for the home for the aged. Yet." "You've been around so long and seen so much and done so much, and still manage to look so good." "Thanks a lot!" "I think you look real young. Honest.

Interesting post, Chas. It sort of begs the question, "What would TWI be like now if they HAD told the membership what was going on?" There probably would have been an exodus of the outraged, but I suspect that a lot of others would have remained, because it was the stonewalling that turned them off. Of course, I doubt that Rosie and the others are kicking themselves over it, since they STILL haven't come clean, and are unlikely to do so. George

I can't speak for anyone else, but my "youthful enthusiasm" wasn't based on arrogance but on a desire to help others with what helped me. I never bought into the "TWI is the only source of truth" nonsense; but I did believe it was the best thing out there. Oh, and Belle, to this day I've never done drugs. :) George

Interestingly, I am a direct descendant (on my mother's side) of Brian Boru, also. The episode is seeming much more familiar, but not enough of the real plot to go on, yet. George
