When I saw the title of this thread, I planned to point out that ALL puppies are cut. Apparently, I was mistaken. ;)--> George

I believe the Pirate is correct, Steve! May he continue? George

Hey, Sharon! In my year at the Cafe, I've seen about every imgaginable version of ex-TWI. I know that there's at least one poster who thinks that PFAL IS the Word, and at least one who's an atheist. Unfortunately, when people come across others here whose experience with TWI wasn't the same as theirs, sometimes they don't understand that just because we all left the "same" TWI, we don't all see it the same way. It's like driving on the highway: the cars behind me are driving too fast; those ahead of me are driving too slow. Don't they know that I'M driving the right speed? ;)--> You don't have to excuse bad manners. I just hope you don't miss something valuable that someone has to say because you don't like the way he said it. George (I don't need no special smileys)

Craig could never get around the fact that guys like Lynn and Geer spoke in tongues, and so must be saved. I remember him teaching (at an AC special, I think) that such men were "functioning as seed of the serpent." So off the Word that they might as well have been the Devil's kids. Yeah, right. As far as the bema not being all sweetness and light (the way VP taught), though, I think Craig probably had it right. The Bible does say that we will all have to give account for ourselves. I never heard Craig call it "the most part of eternity getting a real foot whippin.'" He did frequently refer to it as a "trip to the principal's office." Of course, once the "stubble and hay" are burnt off, you've got blessings for eternity. George

Yeah. And I found Schrodinger rather dull at that age. I was serious about the comic books, though. George

Nah. I don't picture Paw as a VENGEFUL God! :D--> George

At least, until NEXT year!! :D--> George

Pitching, shmitching! :D--> Catching is a lot more fun. Besides, if your son has the reflexes to be a goalie (and at least thinks he has the arm to pitch), he might be very good at it. (Catching, that is.) :)--> George

Must have something to do with pastry, then. Proabably a cop show! George

"To Be or not to Be"? George

Actually, it was UHF, but I'll let it go. Classic humor; check it out! George

Here are three more quotes: Let's go to Spatula City! Supplies!!! Life is like a mop. Like this mop here. It's not my mop, but it's a good mop. The last quote may not be exactly verbatim, but if you've seen the movie, this should give it away. George

First, no one can "make" you think something you don't choose to think for yourself, unless you are narcotized, perhaps. But someone can delude you into believing something that you might not otherwise believe, by deceit and intimidation. George

Or, you might try comic books (though they cost about $2.00-2.50 each these days). George

A textbook on elementary particle physics should keep him entranced for hours. George

Hahahahahahaaaaah! :D--> :D--> :D-->

Not even a guess? Well, here's another quote from the same movie: Don't you know your Dewey Decimal System?! George

Congratulations! And may you have many more. And may you have many :'s. (I'm using a colon as a "little exclamation point.") George -->

A bit of a derail here, but all this talk of Rico M. makes me think of his wife, Robin. I knew her in Houston before they married. She was a real sweetie and quite bright, too. It's hard to imagine that she's still either, if she puts up with the nonsense Rico's involved in. Does anybody out there know how she's doing? George P.S. Yes, Socks often has very sage words. But I would expect that from anyone who digs Green Lantern (and Cosmo the Merry Martian?)! :)-->

Very touching, Shell. Even if it wasn't your story exactly, I can think of a few GS denizens whom it describes exactly. I'm sure thankful I didn't have to experience that. George

A tip from columnist Dave Barry (not an exact quote, since I read it about five years ago): Unless her feet are in the stirrups and you actually see a head crowning, never even INTIMATE to a woman that she might be pregnant!! :D--> George

In that case, Badgers? We don't need no stinking badgers! This is NOT a typo! George

"Get Shorty"? George

Wonderful news, Shell! I'm glad Kelly is doing well, too. --> My grandson, Jacob, was "Julia" until the moment of birth! Always have a backup plan, and don't wash ALL the baby clothes before the baby's born! George

"Wayne's World"? George
