We were in that Hanoi pit of hell together over five years. Hopefully, you'll never have to experience this yourself, but when two men are in a situation like me and your dad were for as long as we were, you take on certain responsibilities of the other. If it'd been me who'd - not made it, Major Coolidge'd be talking right now to my son Jim. But the way it turned out, I'm talking to you. Butch. I got somethin' for ya. This watch I got here was first purchased by your great-grandfather during the first World War. It was bought in a little general store in Knoxville, Tennessee. Made by the first company to ever make wrist watches. Up 'til then, people just carried pocket watches. It was bought by Private Doughboy Ernie Coolidge on the day he set sail for Paris. This was your great-grandfather's war watch and he wore it everyday he was in that war, and when he'd done his duty, he went home to your great-grandmother, took the watch off, put it in an old coffee can, and in that can it stayed until your granddad, Dane Coolidge, was called upon by his country to go overseas and fight the Germans once again. This time they called it World War II. Your great-grandfather gave this watch to your granddad for good luck. Unfortunately, Dane's luck wasn't as good as his old man's. Dane was a Marine and he was killed -- along with all the other Marines at the battle of Wake Island. Your granddad was facing death. He knew it. None of those boys had any illusions about ever leavin' that island alive, so three days before the Japanese took the island, your granddad asked a gunner on an Air Force transport, name of Winocki - a man he had never met before in his life - to deliver to his infant son who he'd never seen in the flesh, his gold watch. Three days later, your granddad was dead, but Winocki kept his word. After the war was over, he paid a visit to your grandmother, delivering to your infant father his dad's gold watch. This watch. This watch was on your daddy's wrist when he was shot down over Hanoi." "You leave town tonight, right now, and when you gone, you stay gone, or you be gone. You lost all your LA privileges. Deal?"

When I was a kid, I found that the answers I was given in Roman Catholicism were grossly lacking and I rejected them as having the answers I needed. Since I thought they were THE Christian group, I concluded that NO Christian could give me the answers I needed, and rejected all of Christianity as I rejected Judaism, Islam, etc. Sounds like you may have made the same decision, T-Bone. If not, it at least sounded familiar to me.

Roger Corman's original was in black-and-white on a shoestring budget, and a young Nicholson was in the cast. The woman "Audrey" survived that, but no other main character did. Later, there was a musical, and a movie of the musical. Frank Oz directed it. That had Steve Martin as a dentist. In that movie, the couple survives, but we see a bud of the same plant where they settle down. The test audiences saw one where the plants-which were aliens in all versions AFAIK- overran the Earth and broke the 4th wall attacking through the movie screen. The idea of someone overthinking elements from books and movies is common. "Deep thinkers" can go on for pages on something that was a whim or an accident, according to the author. And yes, many people don't know there was a b-&-w original by Corman.

Yes. I was trying not to make the first set easy. What gave it away-Nicholson?

No. Different song, different title, different artist.

-There's a title that's shared by 2 movies-which is fair since they're 2 different versions of the same story. The 2nd version was directed by Frank Oz. The 1st included Jack Nicholson among the cast. -None of the endings of the story were incredibly happy. However, in the original, one of the main characters survives, and in the 2nd, 2 of them do (but their future looks endangered.) The 2nd one had an ending that was trashed and never made it past the test audiences- everybody died, and the Earth was invaded, quite successfully (complete with the theater audience among the casualties, with a 4th wall break.) -Many people forget (or don't know) there was an original version, which was a black-and-white. In that one (made on a shoestring budget of about $30,000 US), they used a clip of a full moon as a cutaway to bridge 2 scenes that didn't link properly. 20 years later, they were shocked to read an 8-page magazine article about the significance of the moon in that movie.

The chorus connected. This was the late Tom Petty's "You Don't Know How it Feels".

That wasn't exactly a WP group. That was T0m Burk3's "Many Ways." The early 80s was when lcm decided he had to be in EVERYTHING. So, he showed up at the beginning of this album of satirical songs and talked about satire and the songs for a few minutes. The singer has done several other albums since. Around 1989 he did "A Fistful of Scriptures" (which wasn't mean to anybody.) He did several other albums later, and the links above link to them. If there's more updated news than that, I don't have it.

Many of us have said we're thankful we got IN and thankful we got OUT. Welcome aboard, I hope you enjoy your stay here.

I remembered the missing line.

"If my answers frighten you then you should cease asking scary questions." "Want some bacon?" "No man, I don't eat pork." "Are you Jewish?" "Nah, I ain't Jewish, I just don't dig on swine, that's all." "Why not?" "Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals." "Bacon tastes gooood. Pork chops taste gooood."" "I am not a hero, I'm just a coffee shop--" " I'm sorry, did I break your concentration? I didn't mean to do that. Please, continue, you were saying something about best intentions. What's the matter? Oh, you were finished! Well, allow me to retort."

Now I hear the harmonica. I know it will come to me. One of those line was familiar. Maybe I should turn the radio on or something.

I used to run in the devil's marathon, I always lost, he always won. He'd lie in wait for me at the finish li-ine. Then I got tired of getting beat, pulled the weight of sin off my hands and feet, and now I break that ribbon every time. (chorus)I got rid of my sin, I'm bound to win, I read Romans 10 and got born again, then I got off that racetrack, nonw I'm on the Gracetrack. Look out devil, here I come. I'm God's son I'm Number One, so watch me sail, I can't fail, gonna step on your tail. Stick your fiery darts in your private parts, here comes a son of God! With that number zero on my chest, to win that race I did my best, but that number 666 went flying past. [unsure] He used to beat me in every race [/unsure] -but now I wear that number 5 for Grace, And all he's got to look at is my back. (chorus) Yes, now I run for Jesus Christ. I'm pressing on to win the prize. I don't look back, there's nothing there but sin. The devil still kicks up some dust- but I know what's in store for both of us- a crown for me and a fiery lake for him. (chorus)

In "Before and After", I linked up "Spider-Man-HomeComing to America." I read the IMDb page looking for ideas.

"Many Ways"- mocking different approaches to God, including in church. "Would You Like to Be Born Again?" to the tune of "Would You Like to Swing on a Star?" Mocked satanists, non-Christians, and denominational Christians. "Gracetrack"" -which didn't mock anyone. "Kidnap My Kid' mocked deprogramming. "Trinity Song" mocked the Trinity, "Water" mocked water Baptism, the Western mentioned above we discussed, "Witches" mocked pagans/wiccans. "Don't Go to Twig" mocked criticisms of twi. The last song didn't mock. "The Earthsuit Song" compared living on Earth to living in space, with body and soul as an "earthsuit" so we can get around here. I don't know if I left something out, but I probably did. If someone gives me a title, line or subject, it will come back to me. The artist did other albums, and they didn't make fun of other people. I don't want to confuse their contents with this one.

For those of you who used it for witnessing, when was the latest year, give or take, that you used it for witnessing? (I'm trying to narrow down when it faded into obscurity.)

A) Parody is protected speech. B) Once again, twi was a flyspeck in US culture. Neither artist ever heard of twi, let alone that song. It's not like that was the most visible part of twi, even. So, twi flew under the radar as always. Besides, if either drew attention to the little flyspeck, they might have inadvertently advertised the heck out of the song. (It's called "the Streisand Effect.") C) Leonard thought it was unBiblical for Christian to sue Christian. The Bullinger was dead before vpw plagiarized him. Stiles never heard a thing. twi was a flyspeck in CHRISTIAN culture.

Even the original artist doesn't play this material anymore. Is nostalgia really that important to you, or were you looking for a song to endorse?

I find this thread is neither distasteful nor political. It is a tasteful thread on a distasteful subject. If we can find tasteful ways to discuss a plagiarizing rapists' plagiarism and rapes, then we can find tasteful ways to discuss distasteful songs. However, I personally don't have much to say on the subject and said it before. I don't think this thread will go very far.
