WordWolf

I may recognize songs through the 90s, and generally as far back as the 70s (unless it's really well known.) A lot of songs I like, I can't post due to the "airplay" rule. Unless you bought the album, you wouldn't know them.

The link above, labelled "WordWolf debunks the Great Principle." I had put the sentence in quotes but didn't cite my source. It was too good a sentence to leave alone, now that it was being looked at again.

Name ANY to take the round. A) Guy Fieri invites the best of the best chefs in a single-elimination, winner-takes-all contest, each going one-on-one with another chef until one is left. Different challenges will affect each round. Two neutral food experts interview the chef during the cooking process, and describe the dish to the judging panel to ensure the panel has no idea who cooked what, preventing them from favoritism. B) 3-4 chefs are called into a parking lot set up as a kitchen. They have to get ingredients by stopping real customers leaving a food store and buy individual ingredients or the entire contents of their cart, sight unseen. They have to cook a successful dish in the provided time- and the time getting ingredients is part of that time! So, waiting for perfect ingredients can eat up all your cooking time (or get expensive in the early rounds when you can buy entire carts sight unseen.) C) The host of the show mentioned in B), now challenges chefs from all over the US to try to out-cook her, 3 at a time. D) The show sets up a kitchen in the middle of a suburban street, with houses on both sides. Contestants must pick a house, and get their ingredients from what the residents have on hand (yes, they're paid for all the stuff.) E) 3 chefs divide the pool of chefs into 3 teams for the season, each of them leading their team. Each episode, the chefs have to cook a dish that fits a description. Each episode, each team picks randomly, and ends up cooking in one of 3 kitchens. The top floor has high-tech, fancy appliances, the middle floor has regular restaurant kitchen appliances, and the bottom floor has appliances like a home cook. The ingredients for use come down and stop for TEN SECONDS for chefs to get ingredients- stopping at the top floor first, then the middle, then the bottom chefs get whatever is left. When it is time to plate, the moving platform stops first at the bottom floor, then the middle, then the top, again for TEN SECONDS. This show involves trying to find a chef of surpassing skill and potential. F) So you don't like shows about cooking food? How about cooking metal? This show (with at least one overseas version) has 4 weaponsmiths compete in their knife-making skills on-site, then the last 2 competitors go back to their home forges, and have a few days to produce a copy of a famous weapon. Their weapons are examined, and tested with violence, and a winner is chosen from the blades that survive the tests. One less dramatic test is the apple slice- comparing a line of apples to see which are sliced cleanly and which are split. One more dramatic test is the "bulletproof sword club." The resulting sword is set up, blade forward, and a single bullet is fired- resulting either in a split bullet or a shattered blade as the bladesmith enters the "Oh, my God, they shot my sword with a gun" club instead of the "bulletproof sword club." Viewers can learn all sorts of things about weapon- making, metal-forging, and related skills, as a panel of judges comments on the techniques as they're being used. One blade was disqualified because it was completely shaped by use of grinders and sanders, and not even a little by the process named in the show's title.

1."Hello, and welcome to "TV Car Trivia!" First question, who was the driver of a '73 Firebird? Uh, Otto?" 2."Uh, Jim Rockford, "Rockford Files"." 3."Gimme "Columbo"." 4."A Peugeot convertible." 1."What color?" 4."Gray." 5."How do you know that?" 4."'Cause I love that show." 5."Man, I got three words for all of y'all: Get a life!" 6."What's on Magnum P.I.'s license plate?" 7."ROBIN-1" 4."Wait, wasn't Robin that faggoty guy that always hung with him?" 8."Naw, that was Higgins. That was Higgins." 2."Hey, hey, ten points for our fearless leader. Sway, how about giving us the Bill Bixby trifecta?" 3."Drove a Corvette in "The Magician", a Ford pickup truck in "The Incredible Hulk", and in "The Courtship of Eddie's Father", he walked. " This remake did well enough in the box office, but I can't help think part of that was due to the advertising. One supporting character was made to look like a main character with most of the screen-time. This is one of the appearances in media of the "coroner with an iron stomach" type of thing. When one character answers the phone, he's at work in a crematorium. He puts down his sandwich- on the corpse- to answer the phone. "If his unpleasant wounding has in some way enlightened the rest of you as to the grim finish beneath the glossy veneer of criminal life, then his injuries carry with it an inherent nobility, and a supreme glory. We should all be so fortunate. You say 'poor Toby'? I say 'poor us'. " Cast includes Delroy Lindo, Christopher Eccleston, Giovanni Ribisi, Arye Gross Angelina Jolie, Nicolas Cage, and Robert Duvall. "Well, without disappointment, you cannot appreciate victory." "Did Eleanor tell you that?" "Well that's hitting below the belt." " One: You kill me, they kill you, your brother dies anyway. Two: You lie, you accept the job, you take your brother, you run. I hunt you down, I kill you, I kill your brother and I kill your mother for the aggravation you cause me. Three: You accept the job, you steal some cars, you make some money, and you be a big brother." "You don't know the first thing about stealing a car! You need a role model!" Just take a minute and review the clues. The last quote showed it's a movie involving stealing cars. How many of those do you know?

I had also dropped a second clue, but you missed both since they weren't in boldface.

Next song. "We come from the land of the ice and snow, From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow."

Since none of us can name the song yet, please add more to the clue. Another part of the song, or more of the same part, please.

BTW, the "God gave manna, God is not manna" was a direct quote from Raf. For the curious, here's a breakdown on "the 5 things to know to receive anything from God." Supposedly, they are: 1) What is available 2) How to receive it 3) What to do with it after you've got it 4) Your need must parallel your want 5) God's ability equals God's willingness. Ok, here's how that nonsense breaks down... 1, 2 and 3 are not informative- they're what you do to get anything. If you want to make a sandwich, you have to know there's fixings in the fridge. Then you have to know how to go get them from the fridge, and assemble them in the bread. Then you have to know how to shove the sammich into your piehole. How to receive a sandwich from the refrigerator: First you must know what is available, then you must know how to receive it, then you must know what to do after you've got it. No, that was no revealing of some great secret there, in either case. There's nothing in the actual Bible that says "needs must parallel wants." If anything, I can make a case for asking for what's promised," but, frankly, that's not REQUIRED for anything. I would think approaching God with an attitude of humility would be more important than any of this- I've certainly gotten better results that way- and far more SPECIFIC results that way. Finally, 5. "God's ability equals God's willingness." This is a bit of nonsense that is not true. God is able to destroy all life on Earth whenever he feels like it. (Job 34: 14-15 "14 If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath; 15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust." ) That's God's Ability. He obviously is not WILLING to do so because we are still here. So, God's Ability is not equal to God's Willingness. God is All-Powerful. He could reach in and destroy our free will. He has the Ability to do so. He is NOT WILLING to do so. Whatever vpw was plagiarizing there, again, was something he didn't understand (or he plagiarized nonsense, which is also possible.)

twi's fond of not getting that. As far as they've taught, JC ascended and has sat like a bump on a log for 2000 years! That doesn't even make sense on paper! If he "ever lives to make intercession for the saints", that's a full-time job right there. We also have an advocate (defense attorney) in Jesus Christ. That's a full-time job right there, since the brethren also have an accuser. Even if JC has not been performing the tasks of Chief Operations Officer or Executive VP, those would keep him quite busy.

If your branch coordinator was so in tune, he should have ministered to you and healed your ankle, THEN told you off. You would have been a LOT more interested in what he had to say at that point, he would definitely have had your attention. And nobody give me the "he had to be in the same room first" because we know that's not a requirement. The centurion told Jesus that he was confident that if Jesus gave the order for his servant's healing here, it would be accomplished wherever the servant was. (Yes, that level of confidence was something, and that man wasn't a Jew looking for the Messiah! He was just a man who heard that when this man prayed, results got resulted.) No, the branch coordinator was all talk and no power.

Billy Joel once said he had written a melody, but had no lyrics. He went to dinner to his favorite Italian restaurant. The waiter said, "Bottle of red? Bottle of white? Whatever kind of mood you're in tonight!" Billy Joel replied "THANK YOU!" and went on to write the song with that melody and that line, inspired by Italian restaurants. Meanwhile, your song is one of Dire Strait's biggest hits: "THE SULTANS OF SWING."

Hey- we're ALL works in progress, here.

Ok, next song. (I'm really confident about that one.) "A bottle of white, a bottle of red, perhaps a bottle of rose instead."

BTW, there's only "out of turn" if you're posting a new song when it's someone else's turn to post a song. Any discussion relevant to the songs is all appropriate. Hopefully it doesn't take over the thread, but sometimes it's neat to discuss a song or album for a moment before moving on. And "the answer was incorrect" is important to post ASAP, particularly if the person whose turn it is said otherwise. Say, Nathan? Are you interested in taking my turn and posting the next song? You would pick a song, not tell us what it is, and post part of the lyrics (probably looking it up online to make sure you had them correct.) We would have to try to guess the correct title and artist without looking up either.

Since the question is still "do you recall wierwille ranting about the concept". I'll answer. It was all before my time. I can recount what other posters quoted, or I can recount what vpw said on tapes that I heard later. On this particular subject, I didn't hear about it on any tapes, as best as I can remember. I know there were a LOT of things vpw got from his dedicated Liberty Lobby phone connection and their books- all of which he tried to pass off later as revelation. So, I'm sure I know where he got his opinions on the subject, and where he claimed he got it. For that matter, since lcm came out with similar rantings, his most likely sources were the exact same ones ("the Pope has an aircraft carrier and is going to take over countries and force them into Catholicism", and so on. NO, I'm NOT exaggerating.) Around the US' bicentennial in general (1976), it's amazing how many people suddenly were in fear of someone taking over the US from within, effective as of some time in 1976.

POLITICS is not permitted on the GSC. The GSC is NOT about politics. Funny you should bring this up exactly today. When 9-11 happened, many people felt the need to express how they felt at the moment. Over time, allowing people to keep talking on that and related subjects- and gradually less-relevant subjects- led to political discussions that poisoned the atmosphere of the board. The staff spent more time on the handful of political posters in 1 forum than they did with hundreds of other posters all along the board. People who wouldn't moderate themselves were moderated by others= and responded by lashing out at the staff like immature toddlers. It was a stressful, thankless, NEEDLESS job. Eventually, the choices were- remove the political forum and political posts, or remove the entire GSC. The GSC was never about politics and does not need to be so. So, politics was deleted. There's lots of places online to post on politics, and there's only one GSC. If you really can't control yourself, you can always find some other board of ex-GSC and go complain how unfair things are that there's actual moderation here. You would hardly be the first to do that, nor the last.

And yes, I enjoy southern rock, but usually hear it on the radio (for some value of "radio".) That makes it a bit harder to correctly connect artist with song.

Jack Black Shallow Hal Gwyneth Paltrow

It's been far too many minutes. I need to post more clues.

Diehard Star Trek fans should all know this one. Steppenwolf's "MAGIC CARPET RIDE."

Yes, Leonard Skinerd (or the band of his students) initially recorded "Sweet Home Alabama." However, anyone who performed it is a legitimate answer for this thread. So, acceptable answers would also be "Alabama" (off of "Skynrd Frynds") or the Allman Brothers (off of "Winning Combinations-The Allman Brothers and Lyrnyd Skynrd.") Whew, that was a close one!

vpw plagiarized not just the material, but how it was taught, as well. Over time, he would have forgotten specifics in the delivery that longtime pfal fans would have remembered. So, since it was all mimicry, he would have gotten worse over time. If it had been legit, then the subjects would get BETTER over time, not worse.

I could have sworn someone said vpw had actually connected "spirit of leviathan" with being an alcoholic/drunkard.
