Was just thinking about "Christmas Snow" last week. Her father named her "Christmas" because she was born on December 25th. He used to say that it was a good thing she wasn't born on Father's Day, because then he would have ended up introducing her to people by saying "Meet my daughter, Father." So, this has to be SUZANNE SOMERS. Sheriff Hildy Grainger must be the eponymous sheriff in "She's the Sheriff."

"Same Old Song and Dance"????

Taking a guess here.... "Dream On"?????

(Sees his photo.) I recognize him from one movie. This should be interesting. Death Race David Carradine Kill Bill Volume 2 (or Volume 1) (Ian McShane played "Coach" for Frankenstein's pit crew. David Carradine appeared at the beginning of the movie as the voice of "Frankenstein" (appropriate if you've seen the previous movie.) And, of course, he also played Bill in "Kill Bill", both volumes. I'm leaving that flexible for the next player.

Wait... wasn't that "Blythe Danner" that played John Adams' wife in "1776"???

It's not Arnold in a sequel. It's Arnold in a stand-alone called "THE RUNNING MAN." It's an action movie that shouldn't be taken seriously. I like it. And George's friend is in it.

If it hadn't, I would have been reduced to posting clues like "the title characters were brothers who had a rhythm-and-blues band."

https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/20688-bg-leonard/#comment-643346 Did you really Google BG Leonard's name, come up blank for CTC of Texas (his ministry), then show up here, and cross-post the same question four times in a row on 4 different threads, including one you started just to ask the question? (BTW, that one thread would have been sufficient to get an answer.) The cross-posting like that is considered spamming/rude. Now you have the name of the group, and now you have a link to their website.

vpw always inflated the importance of any public figure- in order to claim twi was significant because it contained vip's. So, ONE NFL player and vpw went crazy. One COACH for tennis and even lcm dropped her name. So, small wonder vpw wanted in when someone ostensibly IN twi was running for public office. No, it did not go well for or with H@yes G@h@g@n of Maine. https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/22444-hayes-gahagan/#comment-527243

Actually, Allan, yours was the most "political" of posts on this thread so far. It's a discussion of how politics was used in twi. Nobody has had to post any politics, just what happened in twi, and how vpw pushed certain agendas. Other than a single sentence in the first thread, this thread has been " about" politics without containing politics. (BTW, chockfull, my experience has been the opposite of Allan's, which is not terribly surprising because we don't live in the same country. Around here, a more-than-two-parties system increases the chance the public's actually represented, and fringe groups don't hijack a major party.)

BTW, when I put his name in quotes in the search bar of DuckDuckGo, his ministry came up in the first page of results.

I was going to post it, but Nathan Jr beat me to it. " Did you try contacting his ministry directly? https://ctcoftexas.com/about/ " BTW, there's no need to immediately cross-post the same question on multiple threads. One thread would have been enough.

YES!

I think we need another clue.

cast includes- Paul Reubens Chaka Khan Kathleen Freeman Henry Gibson This famous movie had some great music- but it was NOT marketed as a musical, it's an action-comedy. This movie included some under-utilized, under-appreciated performers who were available for work. It was very smart of them to accept their offered roles, as their careers, as a whole, were jump-started when this movie hit the theaters, introducing them to a new generation of fans. Not many films have credits that leave out who played principal cast, but this was one of them. It was done on purpose, but didn't really change anything, since the audience knew who the 2 cast members were. Even stranger, another principal role didn't seem to have a name (although the role's actress is easy to recognize.) A number of the cast seemed to play themselves, while others definitely did not. I hope you get this soon. If not, I'll "See You Next Wednesday". This movie had a sequel, but most people prefer to ignore that, as it wasn't as good as the first movie despite having an obviously larger budget. (The bluegrass scene alone had a lot of special effects.) The first movie inspired a group- and they were in the sequel playing fans who were now performers. I wonder how John Popper felt about his movie debut being in a flop. I read a book for RPGs that was set in Chicago. It included a list of books and movies for inspiration and setting the background. It included this movie, with a note that there can be no better view of Mayor Daley Plaza.

"My name is a killing word." "The spice must flow."

"The Elephant Man."

In twi, things like that went on because vpw wanted it (as long as he was in charge), since he'd set up twi to have the Head Cheese wield autocratic power without checks or balances. (The same, obviously, applies to his successors, who also enjoy power limited only by the now-pitiful reach of twi.) So, vpw wanted it. The question then becomes....why did vpw want it? vpw was all about power- the wielding of power, and the appearance of prestige and influence. (It's why he got his doctorate at a degree mill and then INSISTED on being called "Doctor." I'm three times the fake doctor he was, and you don't see me insisting on "doctor.") So, some of it was to try to make twi seem influential, which made vpw seem influential. Another part of it was something different. Other than vpw's abilities to con people, he was actually pretty stupid. He always cut corners on his education, and never learned if he could plagiarize instead, and tried not to bother with anything else. When it came to other types of con, vpw fell for them. If you had a fake supernatural con, vpw would swallow it and teach the Advanced Class it was real and NOT a sleight-of-hand trick. (I believe there's real stuff, but it's a lot rarer than the cons, and conflating the two is wrong no matter what.) One of vpw's sources for conning was the John Birch Society, a bunch of tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists. He had a hotline to all their pet weird ideas. He would listen to them, then announce all of their stuff and pretend he was getting Divine Revelation about all of it. Rock and roll being of the devil? Yeah, the JBS and all their cronies. So, if the JBS endorsed candidates, vpw went along and endorsed them also. Stupid of him? Yes. It makes about as much sense as a news-anchor reading ANYTHING off the teleprompter, even if it made no sense or was inappropriate. But the same thing in the sense that it was mindless parroting of something from someone else. twi was actually pretty effective at teaching all sorts of people to do mindless parroting of all sorts of things. Society has LOTS of people who do that, but twi made a policy of it, and we're here discussing them, of course.

So it's George's turn.

Is it in Psalm 119?

Ok, between the 2 posts was all the correct info. Waysider's turn!

"I'm not aware of too many things. I know what I know, if you know what I mean. Do ya?"

I'll probably never remember the correct name. It's funny, but non-consecutive lines were what I remembered- the line about gray reminded me of the stereo line, then I remembered more about the line naming the colors. Well, the mind's a fascinating thing, at least it is for me. Moving on, let's see....
