"Hey, little sister, who is it you're with? Hey little sister, what's your vice-and-wish?"

That's him.

Enough, I need a little breather over here.

I heard of something once, it was probably not real. A criminal was fleeing the police, turned a corner, and saw a bunch of badges. He stopped, and simply surrendered - becoming the first criminal to be "arrested" by Richard Belzer and company before they brought in "the real cops." I saw Ross D going up and down a flight of stairs at 86th St & Lex for one of those, SVU I think. He was descending for the takes, and had to walk back up for reshoots. I told him I had to hand it to him, because nobody came down a flight of steps like he did. ;)

IIRC, the other 3 were Jackie Gleason (who went first), Art Carney and Audrey Meadows. The 3 of them minus Gleason, if memory serves, appeared on the US' "Comic Relief" in the 1980s.

Um, Joyce RANDOLPH of the Honeymooners???????

Since you didn't look for the answer, you didn't cheat, it hit you in the hands. Go ahead and give the answer.

Dawn Wells, Gilligan's Island?????

Next song. "There's a man in the funny papers we all know."

Yeah, they don't write 'em like that anymore..... except maybe for Greg Kihn's "Breakup Song."

Whoopi Goldberg Ghost Patrick Swayze

For the Triple Movie Links thread, after 72 hours of no movement, googling is allowed- so we can just move this along. Ok, let's see. Not too many good links from here, but since I bothered looking it up, I'm going Carl Weathers Rocky III Sylvester Stallone

Some songs are true classics, aren't they.

But his sister put "THE LIME IN THE COCONUT." Actually, the real problem was that she added too much RUM and got sick. When she asked the doctor for something to settle her stomach, he suggested the folk remedy, lime and coconut (without rum). The miscommunications and hilarity ensued.

A) On lots of threads, lots of ex-twi have talked about how much better their lives have been since twi, and sometimes about how God's given them results since twi. Mike has missed all of that- probably for the same reason a thief cannot find a policeman. B) I don't need specifics of Mike's testimony, since he's already given me the biggest detail. In spite of a recent attempt to spin-doctor it, Mike started a thread with the goal of answering the question "Why don't we see miracles and lots of prayers answered anymore?" If it was a thread where the opening post was "actually, we see EVEN MORE", then that would be different. So, no, he's got squat. C) Mike's been trying to claim that Session 1 of pfal- and the books adapting it- didn't have vpw bring up material abundance and promise material abundance... despite the fact that they do, very obviously and blatantly. Someone's looking to LOWER THE BAR OF EXPECTATIONS. So, what's the complete picture? Lots of people have happiness, some prosperity, and answers to prayers- and Mike insists they don't. Mike's got little of those- and insists on getting cagey in discussing them. Where others have freely given testimony, he's said we have to earn his testimony- which, again, means he's got squat, otherwise he's be waving it around as proof his doctrine isn't all platitudes, smoke and mirrors. Mike's trying to say his alleged "pfal" doctrine isn't supposed to guarantee MATERIAL ABUNDANCE (in spite of insinuating exactly that all over Session 1)- because Mike doesn't have it and can't guarantee it despite himself. What's next- the holy Amway?

Right. Sylvester Stallone directed this. He once went on TV and said Travolta got in shape for this movie a lot faster than Stallone did for "Rocky." Supposedly, Stallone's hotel room was below Travolta's, and at all hours, Stallone could hear tapping and other sounds that meant Travolta was dancing.

When lcm saw "Staying Alive", he saw the show-within-the-movie "Satan's Alley." Being as original as vpw, he decided that twi could do that, but better. So, he began planning the 2-hour "Athletes of the Spirit." If you watch the movie, you'll find a number of things that lcm just plain ripped off from that sequence.

Ok, got it now. This is "STAYING ALIVE." It's the sequel to "Saturday Night Fever."

The context is so obvious. vpw was expounding on how the people at schools he went to were "top men in their fields" and how he got a superior education, oh, and how he took all of Moody's correspondence classes that he could. No comments on what he learned from any of them. no comments about what any covered, no substance from the entire experience. It's as if his entire exposure to Moody's correspondence classes started and ended with his claim that he took them. Then, as it turns out, Moody confirmed he didn't complete any of their classes- that was proven, and they are unable to prove he even signed up for any- because they didn't keep records of incomplete classes for decades. So, zero impact on him except to say he took the classes, and documentation shows he completed NONE, and no documentation to show he even applied for one (which, by itself, proves nothing, but IN THE CONTEXT OF THE REST, says a lot.) What conclusions would a reasonable person draw? Would they say Moody was lying or their records were in error? Would they say he started a bunch of their classes but didn't finish them? This is a man who was incredibly cheap financially. Would he PAY for a single class he didn't finish and get the credit? Would they say he was interested only in the study of the material? This was a man who went out of his way to AVOID studying material, and whose only strengths were in plagiarizing and in presenting sermons. So, NO, this is not a man who would have taken their classes, let along left them incomplete. This is a man who would FAKE taking their classes, to claim to know the material, and claim the cachet of the classes. As above, who would check on a ridiculous lie like that? He faked his way through everything he could, and got the credentials he could buy.

BTW, If someone's trying to push the idea that they understand God better than I do, and that I should study with them or under them, and one of the things they're trying to explain is why they aren't seeing miracles in their lives, they're not going to get far with me. If you're not seeing miracles, and you're supposedly a Christian, I'll tell you this for free- if you're looking to blame God Almighty, you're looking to place the blame where it doesn't belong.

In "vp and me", lcm documented vpw telling one corps class they were all kicked out, then quietly allowed them individually to rejoin, provided they swore more loyalty to him. According to lcm, MOST of them chose to do so. The WOW program was remarkable for twi for not only being a free sales force for twi classes and tithing, not only for providing their own transportation and lodging wherever they were TOLD to go, but for PAYING for the privilege! It cost money to go WOW.

Correct! Close enough, anyway. 1) His dad WAS Fred Sanford. 2) He was among friends and had a heart attack. They were so sure he was fooling that they delayed getting an ambulance.

I wouldn't bother asking his dad's name if you couldn't at least guess it. And it's 2 "x"s and 2 "d"s, Redd Foxx.

I'll go with the other and guess STEVE MARTIN.

In his final hours, vpw was seen searching his memory, determined to find some imperfection in his life in which God Almighty disapproved. He was unable to find it. vpw went to his grave feeling NO remorse for being a sexual predator, let alone drunk, false prophet, etc.
