  1. Actually, they did NOT make a beeline for the NYCoC. They made a beeline for the CoC, the NY section. The NYCoC was a completely different organization from the CoC. The NYCoC was those people I brought you to a Sunday morning meeting-more for amusement than attendance. (I wore a PFAL t-shirt and we sat near a stranger who fell seriously asleep, if that triggers a memory.)
  2. IIRC, this is "I Want To Know What Love Is." and it's by FOREIGNER.
  3. You were correct- Men at Work did "Overkill" and "Who Can It Be Now". As for yours, I'm trying to remember the artist.
  4. In God We Tru$t Richard Pryor The Muppet Movie
  5. Ok, changing song, but keeping the same artist..... "Is it the men come to take me away? Why do they follow me? It's not the future that I can see- It's just my fantasy."
  6. Dracula-Dead And Loving it Harvey Korman History of the World Part 1
  7. BTW, I actually wrote a lengthy breakdown on the Commissioner Gordons, but my GUI ate it when I had to reboot it. In short, Lyle Talbot played him in the old 1940 Batman serial, Pat HIngle played him in the 80s/90s alongside Keaton/Kilmer/Clooney, and the others were lots of voice actors, mostly in chronological order from oldest work (Ted Knight) to newest. J.K. Simmons has already been cast for the upcoming Justice League theatrical film.
  8. Ted Knight Danny Dark Lennie Weinrib Bob Hastings Mitch Pileggi Corey Burton Kurtwood Smith Lyle Talbot Steve Buscemi Pat Hingle J.K. Simmons Bryan Cranston
  9. Looks familiar to me too, but nothing's clicking yet. I keep coming back and hoping it will come to me.
  10. "Ladies and gentlemen, the Chocolate Room."

  12. If anyone's got one, they can take this turn as a FREE POST.
  13. "I can't get to sleep I think about the implications Of diving in too deep And possibly the complications Especially at night I worry over situations I know will be alright Perhaps it's just imagination." "Alone between the sheets Only brings exasperation. It's time to walk the streets Smell the desperation. "At least there's pretty lights And though there's little variation It nullifies the night"
  14. If you attended ROA 89, I'd love to chat about that. That was an experience-and-a-half. If you're ok with it, either a separate thread (if you're ok with discussing it publickly) or a private message would work (if you prefer more privacy.) AFAIK, almost nobody at the GSC was there for that-me and Raf and that's about it.
  15. You should probably post the next one whenever you're ready.
  16. "HIGHLANDER." And that really SHOULD be remembered for that one line. The Gathering will end with exactly ONE Immortal. And the entire franchise repeated that. "In the end, there can be only one."
  17. I'm curious to see if that happens. Does the current monarch of twi really have that much control over their peons that she can contradict lots of twi history and have them go along with it, or would that be the penultimate straw for the "camel's back" of the remaining followers? Would they consider that irrefutable proof that the twi they hallucinated long ago was stone-cold dead by now? Or can she issue edicts of anything now and they'll all fall in line, obedient drones afraid to question anything? I wonder these things.
  18. That makes the "documentary" show combination: "A Thousand Ways to Die For." I've watched the show a bit. Normally, this would mean T-Bone and I shared the answer, thus sharing the credit. I'm disqualified for looking up "To Die For" before posting, so that means T-Bone should probably go next as having 50% of the answer and not having been disqualified at the time he posted it. Do you agree, H w/o B?
  19. twi is a group with no future. It had a past/present that was based entirely on 3 things, all of which are unavailable now: A) the scarcity of information from obscure Christians (Leonard, Stiles, Bullinger, etc.) presented as proprietary ("only WE have 'The Truth'") B) the conman skills and showmanship of victor paul wierwille (who died decades ago) C) capitalizing on the zeitgeist of the hippie generation, and the Jesus People therein (which stopped decades ago) Its current existence is primarily on nostalgia for those, and on inertia. So, twi has nothing new to offer outsiders, and does not draw significant outsiders. It used to draw lots of people. Many would stay and many would leave soon. twi no longer has a reason for any to stay. So, twi can't add to its members for more than a year, and it loses members from exits and from deaths, since it's a slowly aging subculture of slowly aging people. The group's being kept intact from the top solely because its finances can be exploited if it technically exists as a group. So, they have lots of "creature comforts" and hope enough people are clueless enough to stay and keep the group existing through the top people's retirements. So, Rosa-lie's just buying time and "running out the clock." Donna's strategy has to be different because twi may not last through her retirement. So, she's had twi pay for her kids' full education. Perhaps she's hoping they'll take care of her when there's no twi.
  20. This should be the remake of "Red Dawn." Amazing how many movies are being remade.
