  1. "Sounds like they're not ready." "Your job, short of violating the Prime Directive, is to make sure that they are." "If you don't take your hand off my hip, you'll never be able to raise a glass with it again." "Oh, I love a woman in uniform!" "This is where the adventure is. This is where heroes are made. Right here... in the wilderness." "Have you ever served with any Bajoran women?" "No. Why?" "Just wondering." "Doctor, most people in my experience wouldn't know reason if it walked up and shook their hand." "That may be the most important thing to understand about humans. It is the unknown that defines our existence." "Fire six photon torpedoes across their bow." "All we HAVE is six photon torpedoes!" "We won't win this battle with torpedoes." "I suppose you want the office." "Well, I was hoping to say hello first, and *then* take the office, but we can do it in any order you like." [sarcastically] "Hello!" George
  2. I've heard of it but haven't seen it. George
  3. It's not a movie; it's a cartoon. They're Pinky and the Brain, yes, Pinky and the Brain. One is a genius; the other's insane. They're laboratory mice; their genes have been spliced; They're dinky -- they're Pinky and the Brain! NARF! George
  4. Glory Matthew Broderick Ferris Beuler's Day Off George
  5. "Say, suppose the ship hits an iceberg and sinks. Which one of them do you save from drowning?" "Those girls couldn't drown." "I like a man who can run faster than I can." "When love goes wrong, nothing goes right." George
  6. ARRRRRRMY TRAINING, SIR! "Stripes" George
  7. Methinks Ca Dreaming has it and therefore needs to post one! George
  8. It's people refraining from posting that's killing this thread! George
  9. Catcup, Have a wonderful birthday and a blessed year! George
  10. Unless you mean you actually go up to strangers and invite them to eat with you, I don't think you got my meaning. Sure, if you go by yourself to Burger King and eat there, you will be eating out with strangers; but you probably won't sit at a table with anyone else unless you're at least acquainted with him; and the stronger the bond, the more likely you are to sit with him. At the birthday party referred to by nottawayfer, she broke bread (or at least cake) with those she cared about. Which was my point. George
  11. Yes. go ahead. I honestly have no idea. George
  12. But it IS about "breaking bread together." In general, one doesn't eat with people he's not intimate with. Of course, there are times when that's not true (business functions, TWI functions); but think about it. You go out to eat; whom do you eat with -- strangers? You eat in your work (or school) cafeteria; you sit with the closest associates you have. One real sign of friendship is whom you coose to eat with! George
  13. It's "Yo' Mama." or something like that... George
  14. I'm not sure you'd win that bet, but thanks! George
  15. That was pretty neat. I've been to Rome City twice (once for a wedding, once for an Advanced Class), and it didn't seem that gloomy to me. Of course, I was never there in the winter... George
  16. The number of stars is an average, so it will take a few others to move Rhino up. Or down. George
  17. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EAGLE-BABE! George
  18. Congratulations, Rascal! Your perseverance reminds me of this classic line: "Walk on road, hm? Walk left side, safe. Walk right side, safe. Walk middle, sooner or later [makes squish gesture] get squish just like grape. Here, karate, same thing. Either you karate do "yes" or karate do "no." You karate do "guess so," [makes squish gesture] just like grape. Understand?" Well done! George
  19. I believe Kathy is correct. In fact, it's "his" story! My jazz band recently added "The Anniversary Song" to our repertoire, so I recognized it immediately. AJ took credit for writing it, but it's an old Romanian love song. George
  20. That's it. "Heroes" has a bunch of characters with different powers. The cheerleader is essentially invulnerable, so she could "walk through the fire without being burned." (She's also entering the 11th grade.) One woman has a SEVERE split personality, so when she looks in the mirror... A scientist died while attempting to classify such mutations; his son now carries on. The first season was all about stopping an evil mutant (Syler) who could absorb anyone else's powers, becoming eventually a human bomb that would destroy New York. That crisis was averted at the end of the first season, so this season, the characters seem to be involved in pointless episodes, though there is some overarching theme involving a Japanes symbol and someone out to kill the older mutants. George Takei and Nichelle Nichols have appeared as parents of a couple of teh heroes. I'm waiting to see if Walter Koenig will show up! George
  21. A couple of these threads seem to have turned into two-player games. Well, hope springs eternal. "This is where the adventure is. This is where heroes are made. Right here... in the wilderness." "Have you ever served with any Bajoran women?" "No. Why?" "Just wondering." "Doctor, most people in my experience wouldn't know reason if it walked up and shook their hand." "That may be the most important thing to understand about humans. It is the unknown that defines our existence." "Fire six photon torpedoes across their bow." "All we HAVE is six photon torpedoes!" "We won't win this battle with torpedoes." "I suppose you want the office." "Well, I was hoping to say hello first, and *then* take the office, but we can do it in any order you like." [sarcastically] "Hello!" George
  22. I was always taught that to IGNORE the five senses was stupid; but, yes, spiritual realities are greater. As far as Key #4 was concerned, though, it was always taught that what you could know BY READING THE BIBLE you were expected to know. George
