Someone here MIGHT remember one or more of those roles, depending on how well they remember who appeared on what TV shows in a "Hey- it's so-and-so! He appeared in this series?" way.

I'm curious whether that policy was recommended by twi's lawyers or not. There was a time that the only times twi changed something to be a little LESS exploitative of their people was when their lawyers said to do it. (How evil does your CHURCH have to be if a bunch of LAWYERS have to tell you to do the right thing for your members?) More likely, it was a self-defense measure by someone who did the math. The Advanced Class is one of the things- and ALL the things twi EVER does fall into this category- that TURNS A PROFIT. twi MAKES MONEY off of each person who attends. So, someone finally realized they were shutting off an additional revenue stream by making it more restrictive to take the Advanced Class. lcm started that a long time ago as an additional CONTROL MEASURE, and it cost them a lot of money but ensured those who were still there were more blindly faithful than otherwise. Meanwhile, in life, there were people who had to take out loans for any of a number of things- and twi made that FORBIDDEN, so that separated all of them from twi's "good graces." Need to buy a car? Better get a cheap used one and just keep fixing it up. If you bought a new car and made payments, twi would disapprove and get in your business. Need a place to live? Better stay a renter for the rest of your life and hand money over to a landlord. If you bought a house and made payments, twi would disapprove and get in your business. Want to start a business? Better make it something with no startup, like washing windows. If you got a loan to start it up, twi would disapprove and get in your business. Nobody ever wonders why twi members are always tired, because we know twi always has more hoops to jump through. Nobody ever wonders why twi'ers always have old beat-up cars to put their stickers on- although lcm used to complain about that because he was an idiot who NEVER WORKED A DAY IN HIS LIFE and didn't understand that you can't get a new car with cash upfront if you're most people or not using twi's budget. So, twi rolls back another STUPID policy they had for over 20 years that they NEVER should have had, and that they kicked people out or chased out for disobeying, and the remaining glassy-eyed minions of twi just nod, smile, and think of how much better their lives just got.

And they're not GOING to give actual numbers. twi is so small and insignificant now- in a societal sense but it can still ruin INDIVIDUAL lives like it's doing now- that they stopped giving numbers since the early 1990s after they lost 80% of the current group. Since then, they've gone OUT OF THEIR WAY to express everything without exact numbers of people because the numbers look so pitiful. There's some megachurches around the US that have more people show up EVERY SUNDAY than are in twi across the entire USA. So, they claim they have lots of people and so on, but get vague as to the numbers. My favorite method for this was when they reported on a graduating class of the corps. They announced that 20% of the grads were going on to do one thing, 20% to do another, and so on through 100% by 5 accounts of 20%. How many grads were there? FIVE. So, ONE GRAD was going on to do one things, ONE GRAD to do another, etc. Not a lie. Just phrasing things in a way to INSINUATE a lie, so people think something other than what was TECHNICALLY said. That's right out of vpw's playbook, all the way back to when he said he "played basketball all through college" (never actually said he WAS ON A TEAM, just that he played while he was in) and that he was "involved with the Sheboygan Redskins" (again, not that he ever put on the uniform and played in a single game, just that he had some vague connection), then could technically say he didn't actually LIE to anyone. "LYING" by INSINUATION is deceptive and COWARDLY, but, hey, it's all twi HAS by now, so it's not like they're going to stop now. They're just trying to keep twi circling the drain but not falling in, all so that the handful at the top can exploit its resources and get what they can out of it so they don't have to work a REAL job like all the fools they convince into giving them 15% of their income regularly.

Those things were stretchy, and not actual body armor. If they'd made the effort, they could have stretched the costume and just had Alicia Silverstone in a really tight costume. Meanwhile, trying to think of the next movie...

"Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today."

If it's the one from the movie, then that should be "FRED WARD." (No, I have no idea about any others who played The Destroyer.)

Um, "Batman and Robin"???

"Be on the lookout" was a loudspeaker announcement. All the other lines were a single character- like Hawkeye, outraged that they couldn't get an incubator, because it was considered a luxury, like a jukebox or a pizza oven. "Oh, I can get you THOSE." - Supply officer. Blake was interested in getting the pizza oven when he heard that. SPOILER- (Radar traded the pizza oven for an incubator when it arrived.) Hawkeye raved about not having an incubator but being able to get the dying patient a pizza to go. The loudspeaker guy also made all the announcements about 5 O Clock Charlie. Frankly, I think it was his best episode. "AND HERE HE IS, FIVE O CLOCK CHARLIE, HIS AIRPLANE, AND HIS ASTIGMATISM!"

That first one rings a bell, but I'm not remembering anything concrete yet.

One episode had a thankful Greek platoon give a lamb to the 4077 to make for lunch. Radar was determined to get the thing to safety rather than be served for lunch. So he tricked Henry Blake into signing it's emergency hardship discharge papers. "Death in the family?" "Almost..." Radar shipped Private Charles Lamb to his family's farm in Iowa. (" You remember him- short, curly-haired guy." ) Attempts to get an incubator to speed up diagnoses- and save lives- took up an entire episode. The continual attempts for one bomber to hit ANYTHING in the camp- trying to hit the ammo dump- every 5pm provoked a round of betting on today's target for " 5 o clock Charlie." The food supply consisting of either liver or fish every single day eventually provoked Hawkeye into a major commotion in the Mess tent. Radar got hungry when the entire camp was pinned down by a sniper. He risked his life for the chance to make and eat a sandwich. Frank Burns once claimed he got those thank-you notes. Hawkeye once ordered that drink when their Officers Club was brand new. Hawkeye also tried to cheat at cards by telling an odd story that included his entire hand. Major Sidney Freedman-twice- said the silly rhyme about sliding on the ice when he left the camp. George's turn!

Probably because it IS MASH.

Yes- the actors for his bff Cameron Frye, Principal Rooney and his gf Sloane Peterson.

I think the title is "Maggie May". It's a Rod Stewart song.

That's it.

"This is gonna replace CD's soon; guess I'll have to buy The White Album again." "You see this? Huh?! N-Y-P-D! Means I will kNock Your Punkass Down!" "You here to make fun of me too? " No, ma'am. We at the FBI do not have a sense of humor we're aware of. May we come in?¨ "Sure." "Did he say anything to you?¨ "Yeah, that the world is coming to an end." "Did he say when?" "So what do you think?¨ "Whew! Very interesting. She got a whole 'Queen of the Undead' thing going on...¨ "What about the body?¨ "Great body...´¨ "The dead body."

PIANO MAN. Billy Joel says he no longer enters piano bars because the piano player will start playing this song if he sees him. Since this song was about Billy's time as a piano player in a piano bar, there's a certain irony to that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, next song. ¨Sitting on a park bench, eyeing little girls with bad intent.¨

"In the meantime, be on the lookout for a male Caucasian lamb. He is unarmed, and considered to be delicious." "You have a fever of 109 stroke 10, you can't have an incubator but you can have a pizza to go, unless of course you go first." "Attention. Attention. One minute to Charlie. The betting book is now closed." "I'd like a dry martini, Mr. Quoc, a very dry martini. A very dry, arid, barren, desiccated, veritable dustbowl of a martini. I want a martini that could be declared a disaster area. Mix me just such a martini." "I've gotten "Thank you" notes from people I said I'd never see again." "I've eaten a river of liver and an ocean of fish! I've eaten so much fish, I'm ready to grow gills! I've eaten so much liver, I can only make love if I'm smothered in bacon and onions!" "I'm reminded of a story, you've probably heard it. The king and queen of this country were playing golf with five clubs. Their son Jack remarked how strange it was that they only had two hearts between them. And just then his sister Little Deucey and her dog Tre started singing 'Four Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend,' whereupon the whole family beat her to death and buried her with two spades." "Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice, pull down your pants and slide on the ice." "I have this peculiar metabolism. If I don't eat regularly, everything solid in my body turns to liquid. My shoes are full of water."

I had the right show in mind, I just didn't remember its name. I remembered the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat, and the face-planting skier, and that's about it, but ¨Spanning the globe¨ helped trigger the right memory.

¨When I was younger, so much younger than today¨
