Broken Arrow

I thought I'd paste the ad in case anyone wanted to check it out.

I like the commercial showing the Budweiser Clydesdales trotting along in the snow-covered woods with the song, "I'll be Home for Christmas" playing in the background. I don't know if it's the horses, the snow, or the thoughts of beer that put me in the Christmas "spirit".

You are correct sir! So, why don't you lay your money "dooowwn" and take a turn!

Buncha commie pinkos!!

"Mellow Yellow", by Donavan (sp?) "With a purple umbrella and a 50-cent hat"

That's it Waysider! Very good! It's a good thing you got it on the first try because I can't understand any of the lyrics. Probably because it would not have been played on the air otherwise! Your turn Waysider. That took a minute to sink in, pretty funny!

Sorry about the first line thing. I'll remember that from now on. This one is "When will I be Loved?" by Linda Ronstadt. How about..."Uh-how how how how...Uh-hmm hmm hmm hmm".

Yeah, he's living in Boise and running Chris Geer's classes. Still doing the same things just with a different group. At least he was 5 years ago. I was a WOW in Coeur d'Alene '83 and '84 and then lived in Lewiston '84 through '86. I saw Dana often. Idaho is a beautiful state. I miss it. I don't miss being in TWI in Idaho, but I miss Idaho. That's where I was living when my daughter was born.

You are correct of course. Here's another one. "Put some whiskey in yo' water, sugar in yo' tea. What's all these questions they're askin' me?"

Personally, I think you could go ahead. But since I'm typing anyway, I'll do this one: "When you could just bet you can hear yourself sweat, he walks in."

I second everything you said.

After thinking this over, this may not be fair. It's a pretty old song so I'll give you the answer. "Big River" from Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan. I never knew they sang together. This is from 1969. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yn_p1hHFedU Let's try another one: "Well I don't know why I came here tonight, I gotta feeling that somethin' ain't right."

Indeed you're correct! The artist is Richard Harris, I'm not sure who wrote it.

Something you call love, but confess..."These Boots are Made for Walkin'" Nancy Sinatra "Someone left the cake out in the rain".

Oh good! I thought you guys were just plain amazing at remembering the diaglogue! I thought, "Man, who does that?" Anyway, why doesn't someone else take my turn this time and I'll jump in later more prepared.

Thank you very much...don't mind if I do. "Well I met her accidentally in St. Paul Minnesota, And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl...Southern Drawl".

Good Mornin' Starshine from the Broadway Musical "Hair". Oliver also got a hit with it. I always wondered, just what inspired that lyric?

O.K., I don't remember the 60 Minutes one but that was quite a while ago. You're right, Wierewille played all of that to his own advantage. I remember feeling horrified when the deprogramming stuff started happening around '75. For me the whole thing engendered more of an "us vs. them" way of thinking and entrenched me more. It gave me an enemy to fight. VP would actually show these stories at big meetings and get people jazzed up. If there were a deprogramming that went wrong, Wierwille would have the victim testify in front of large meetings. I think he loved it. If you think about it, those were years TWI grew the fastest.

I believe L.E.A.D. was started by a non-corps married couple named Sk!p & 3llen W00ds. I'm not sure what their qualifications were. I think there was something called LEAD before that (not TFI) but it was different. The Woods never made it through the academic year as I recall and D0ug McMuIIen headed it up. That would have been '80/'81. It was never revealed why the Woods left so abruptly. TFI was run by VP's son-in-law who was also an officer in the Marines with combat experience, or so we were told. I didn't get the impression that VP and he saw eye-to-eye on a lot of things. Someone like HWC would probably be better able to speak to that. By the time the 11th Corps went into residence, LEAD was a requirement including the hitch-hiking. On a couple of occasions people were arrested and jailed as hitching was illegal in Kansas. People had to be bailed out of jail and still make it to Tinney within the original 36 hour timetable. Hey, it was what the "Man of God" wanted so it had to be right regardless of the law of the land. The hitchhiking was supposed to be for in-residence Corps only. The guy who coerced his branch to hitch to LEAD was out of line even by TWI standards.

Humming this "along The Way" helps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVXX6NFpcT8

I'm not as good at remembering specific dialogue as I am remembering plots. I will readily admit, as I viewed past posts, I am clearly out of my league here. However, since I stumbled on to a "close-enough" answer, I will humbly take my turn. The diaglogue is not exact but it goes something like: "Remember, just because I can't see you very often doesn't mean I don't still want grandchildren!"

I believe this statement was uttered by Data on TNG. Because of a treaty with the Cardassions, a colony of humans needed to be moved from a planet that was now considered Cardassion territory. The Enterprise was ordered to remove the colonists within a certain timeframe or the Cardassions would move in and execute them. Problem was, the colonists considered the planet theirs and refused to move. Data was sent to the surface to prepare the population. When he reported back to Riker the scope of the problem, Riker ordered Data to, "use that positronic brain of yours and come up with a solution". It was Data's idea to destroy the aqueduct, something of which the colonists were very proud. The colonists were not able to stop Data, and Data's point was if they couldn't stop him, a friend, they would fare much worse against the Cardassions, a foe.

Okay, you're talking about those who define true masculinity as smashing a beer can into their forehead, belching real loud and turning a deaf ear to their wives and anything having to do with an emotion, right? I don't think that's what this thread is talking about so much as TWI and CES deriding church practices when in fact they have no idea what they are talking about. You're bringing up a good point, however. I would like to discuss this false masculine stuff further but that probably belongs in another thread.

Woo Hoo!!! Congratulations!!! I love it!

I'm not getting the connection with Driscoll. Would you mind elaborating?
