  1. I'm working on the title. I have the artist. BTW, did you hear they named a marine animal after this band in the past year or so?
  2. No, seriously. Reality shows where people brought machines into an arena, and sometimes brought them out in pieces.
  3. "I've had an odd life. I was supremely interested in the doctrine and had zero interest in the hierarchy and administration. I'd tolerate them, but it was the ideas I was after. The same doctrines that blessed my oddly insulated life were mixed with all kinds of stuff (cough) in the administration world of TWI. " That's a REALLY sanitized way of saying what the rest of us have been saying here for DECADES. NONE of us wanted "hierarchy and administration." vpw insisted on it and forced it upon the group after the hippies grew the numbers up. (They had done their job and brought him the numbers, so now they weren't needed and it was time to apply the hierarchy and administration vpw was waiting to inflict on everyone. vpw designed twi that way. What we rejected was part and parcel of what vpw FORCED upon the group.
  4. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were reciting some sort of important plot point." "I hope so. Otherwise I would've bored half the audience half to death." "You mean half the audience is still alive?" "I'm being held captive by these weirdos!" "Now you know how we've felt for the last forty years." "You give people the greatest gift that can ever be given!" "Children?" "No, the OTHER gift." "Ice cream?" "No, no, after that..." "Laughter?" "YES! The THIRD greatest gift ever!" " "Are you one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? "Yes I am!" "We found a celebrity! Jack Black has graciously agreed to host the show for us." "That's great! Where is he?" "In the trunk." "Remember when the stage caved in while you were rocking out? Who’d have thought your smorgasbord would be hard to live without? If we could do it all again, just another chance to entertain Would anybody watch or even care? Or did something break we cant repair? Your cannonball trajectory, it always gave me hope. They may have been un'bear'able- but I still loved your jokes. Is there more I could have said? Now they’re only pictures in my head." "Wow, that was an expensive looking explosion! I can't believe we had that in the budget. " "...and then, when he thought they were alone, he said, "There's oil under this theater, see! I'm gonna tear it to the ground, see! Sweet, sweet oil, see!" "People still talk like that?" "Maybe that's just how he sounded in my head." "Listen everybody, we've got nothing to be ashamed of. And you know why? Well because, thanks to Walter here we tried. And if we failed, we failed together and to me that's not failing at all. And I don't care what anybody says, I don't care if no one believes in us because... I believe. I believe in you. And you. And you. You know what's important isn't this building or name, it's each other. So I say fine, let's just start from the bottom and work our way back up to the top. Let's all walk out through these doors with our heads held up high, as a family because that's what we are. " "You're my hero. You're on my watch."

  6. Next question. There have been a few television shows where builders brought in robots and had them fight each other. Name any. (Name more for bragging rights, and overseas shows count.)
  7. *thinks* I think what may have happened, is that I missed the original airing of the "Happy Days" episode, and only saw it when it aired directly leading into the series premier of "Mork And Mindy." If that's the first time I saw it, then I'd remember it as the original airing when it was the first one I saw, not the first time it aired.
  8. I'm confident the regular players (except yourself) have no idea on this one. If you posted the entire song we'd miss it.
  9. BTW, his calling himself "THE TEACHER" began YEARS EARLIER with that cheap film class he did before pfal. We never heard much about it, but he called the series "THE TEACHER." Yes, he was the only one teaching it.
  10. Let's take the first 2, since we have something about them. A) Jesus said he couldn't do anything of himself. Nevertheless, his healings made the news and got crowds looking for healing, and other crowds wanted miraculous bread and fish after the loaves and fishes incident. He was also introduced by the biggest prophet of his time, John the Baptizer. B) Paul called himself LEAST of all the apostles, and worked a secular job to avoid causing problems if people complained he was living off the ministry. You mentioned Moses separately, the man who was "MEEK" over all the Earth, the man who begged God Almighty to send ANYONE ELSE rather than himself. Self-referential? Of that group, possibly The Son of God qualifies, but he's The Son of God. He STILL said he could do nothing of himself. Knowledge PUFFS up, God's love BUILDS up. I think of the difference between a building (built up) and a giant balloon SHAPED like a building (puffed up, puffed full of air.) They can look similar to an unobservant bystander, but the differences are dramatic. Something built up is SOLID. Something puffed up collapses with the first hit.
  11. The "comedy" part is corrrect. The many cameos is correct (no duh.) Otherwise, I think you're really off-track.
  12. You can do it, George. Work through the quotes. You have a lot there. This is a movie. There's a lot of clues in some of the quotes. There's 5 clues in the last quote alone- which, BTW, is a song in the movie (and thus the soundtrack.) I know you can figure this out on your own.
  13. A) It's your turn. B) The problem wasn't the movie, the problem was you doubled back. I linked from Seth Rogen to Elizabeth Banks. You immediately followed up with Elizabeth Banks to Seth Rogen. We can't immediately cross the same movie or the same actor. Even mentioning the same actor on the same PAGE raises an eyebrow (a few moves later). So, you were fine with the movie, but had to link to ANY other actor than Seth Rogen in it, or pick another movie you knew with Elizabeth Banks and another actor (besides "Zack and Miri", of course.) And it goes without saying (but I'll say it anyway in case anyone wants to split hairs) that you can't link to the same actor or movie in the same move, either (so, can't go "Zack and Miri, Seth Rogen, Zack and Miri", for example.) C) Doing it from memory is the idea, unless the thread is stalled. It's just your turn now. (We look stuff up only to move the thread along.) Otherwise there's no challenge in the links, we'd just look everything up.
  14. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were reciting some sort of important plot point." "I hope so. Otherwise I would've bored half the audience half to death." "You mean half the audience is still alive?" "I'm being held captive by these weirdos!" "Now you know how we've felt for the last forty years." "You give people the greatest gift that can ever be given!" "Children?" "No, the OTHER gift." "Ice cream?" "No, no, after that..." "Laughter?" "YES! The THIRD greatest gift ever!" "Are you one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? "Yes I am!" "We found a celebrity! Jack Black has graciously agreed to host the show for us." "That's great! Where is he?" "In the trunk." "Remember when the stage caved in while you were rocking out? Who’d have thought your smorgasbord would be hard to live without? If we could do it all again, just another chance to entertain Would anybody watch or even care? Or did something break we cant repair? Your cannonball trajectory, it always gave me hope. They may have been unbearable- but I still loved your jokes. Is there more I could have said? Now they’re only pictures in my head."

  16. She was. I was a bit unclear. I meant to choose a movie other than "Zack and Miri" and an actor other than Seth Rogen.
  17. In pfal, vpw was rather specific that "the abundant life" was financial and visible. It's right at the beginning. He saw non-Christians living a more abundant life than Christians-according to him.
  18. I'm trying to remember if the series premiere was directly at the end of the "Happy Days" episode- which I think it was. The first time the episode aired, the episode was said to "all be a dream of Ritchie's" and outside the house, Mork reported in, confirmed he was traveling to Boulder in 197x, and faded away. That sounds nothing to me like a one-off character who was never meant to have his own show, especially if I remember correctly that he had the 8:30pm slot right behind "Happy Days." But the scene with Mork outside was not tacked on later, it was in the episode's premiere when it aired in NYC. (The series premiere of M&M also had Fonzie make a cameo, IIRC.)
  19. Seth Rogen Zack and Miri Make a Porno Elizabeth Banks 40 Year Old Virgin Seth Rogen Knocked Up ================ BZZZT! Sorry- you linked SETH ROGEN to SETH ROGEN. You have "Green Hornet" to Seth Rogen to "Zack and Miri" to "Elizabeth Banks". You need another movie she was in (not Zach and Miri) and a different star other than Banks or Rogen to proceed- and there's more than 1 or 2.
  20. He probably has. As usually happens with lyrics to songs that were only distributed inside twi, nothing comes up. His best bet is with ex-twiers. His other thread showed someone identifying one of the singers and albums if not where to find them. (The same thing used to happen for really small bands until they hit it big- you had to go to a messageboard of the fans to get the lyrics since they weren't posted online.)
  21. Correct. And thank you for typing the title. Those of us who don't have hotlinks enabled in our browsers can't see what you're hotlinking to, so we can't see if it's correct. Since you typed the title, I can confirm it.
  22. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were reciting some sort of important plot point." "I hope so. Otherwise I would've bored half the audience half to death." "You mean half the audience is still alive?" "I'm being held captive by these weirdos!" "Now you know how we've felt for the last forty years." "You give people the greatest gift that can ever be given!" "Children?" "No, the OTHER gift." "Ice cream?" "No, no, after that..." "Laughter?" "YES! The THIRD greatest gift ever!" "Are you one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? "Yes I am!" "We found a celebrity! Jack Black has graciously agreed to host the show for us." "That's great! Where is he?" "In the trunk."
  23. "I want a girl who gets up early. I want a girl who stays up late. I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity Who uses a machete to cut through red tape. With fingernails that shine like justice And a voice that is dark like tinted glass. She is fast and thorough And sharp as a tack. She's touring the facility And picking up slack."
