OK. Fine. I'll do one. Two pics. George

I remember hearing the following song once. It's a parody by Little Roger and the Goosebumps which was pulled from the shelves immediately after release due to legal action by Led Zeppelin. I include it here because it combines two nostalgic themes: George

I'm not sure if I did this already, but Three pics. I know I've used a couple of them before, so maybe I already did this? :unsure: George

Vonnegut on Public Discourse, Here and Elsewhere

Interesting points, cattcar. Though I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss potato and the others. You really are welcomed here, even by those who disagree with you wholeheartedly. Your Old Testament view of God's Will will certainly grate on some. (By your own reasoning, though, you should welcome potato, since God must have put him here for you to learn something! ;)) I agree with you that God doesn't get enough glory for getting people out of their TWI experience; but, then again, many have quit believing in a biblical God -- or any god at all, for that matter. Maybe you can bring more light here. But don't be surprised if not everyone wants to hear you. George

Gee, my story isn't nearly that horrible, but I think it illustrates the point. One fine day, LCM taught that the only reason for a space program is military dominance. I'm not sure exactly what part of his intestine he pulled that from, but I know it made me chuckle. I think it also had something to do with making sure the commies didn't nuke us. I could usually let such foolishness slide, but if I was asked about what I thought, I always gave a truthful answer. I pointed out that if the US gets nuked, it will probablky be with a bomb brought into (or made in) the US. The Russians and Chinese have nothing to gain by bombing us. As for a space program, Psalm 19:1 is a perfectly good reason. This "rebellion" on my part was another one of the stones they threw at me at my kangaroo court. I suppose I should have pointed out that my TC was working for NASA and clearly wasn't involved in a missile defense system. George

Was personal background a contributing factor?
GeorgeStGeorge replied to happyheart's topic in About The Way
I was brought up Roman Catholic and involved in various activities (choir, "commentator," etc.) but hadn't really read teh Bible. A couple of Way believers witnessed to me at the "right" time; I thought it would be good to learn more about the Bible. The fundamentalist approach in PFAL struck me as being the only logical way to interpret the Bible. I still think the "keys" are correct, but there were several misapplications of them. Like WW, I wanted to be "right." George -

Inferences are assumptions made by the reader (or listener), as opposed to implications, which are disguised meanings given by the writer (or speaker). It's clear that you inferred meanings which were not implied. George

Get well soon, Bro, so you can celebrate another 50 or so! George

I am so old that I'm thankful for grey hairs. At least they're not GONE! George

I'm not sure if this is a "gem" or not, by I love the sentiment! Imagine, from the Greasespot Cafe Test: George

Just a hunch, but I bet the fact that everyone left was used to show how spiritually off they were (not how spiritually off the leader was!). George

Name that TV Show [EZ quotes only]
GeorgeStGeorge replied to Raf's topic in Movies, Music, Books, Art
In this thread, Sharon, the quotes don't have to be from the same episode, just the same show. I'll wait and see if someone new jumps in. The second quote DOES make it pretty obvious! :) George -

I'll jump in. "She asked him why..." George -
Interesting point, but lousy Latin. In governs either the accusative case, in which case it is rendered "into," or an ablative, in which case it is rendered "in." Caecus is the masculine, singular, nominative form of the adjective; and terrae is the nominative plural, the genitive singular, or the dative singular form of the noun terra. Assuming the meaning was to be "In the land of the blind, a one-eyed man is king." it should be In caecorum terra, luscus rex est. I've seen patria (country) used instead of terra (land) for this proverb: In patria caecorum, luscus rex est. (Or, because word order is not essential in Latin, "Caecorum in patria, luscus rex est.")
