Hm. Is this "Dead Man (the) Walking Dead"?

*checks* That was a real show! No, that's not the one I meant. That one had a female host.

Depending how you define it, you could say that about when it refers to "diffusion of responsibility." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bystander_effect#Diffusion_of_responsibility https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_of_responsibility

"The Bystander Effect" is not usually considered "part of denial." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bystander_effect

There were 2 different movies, both adaptations of the same source material, both with the same title. One was a black-and-white released in 1940, the other was a color film released in 1959. Both were comedies, but the 1959 version was also a musical. The 1940 version had Buster Keaton in it, and Louise, his little sister, who had one line. The 1959 version had Julie Newmar in it. (Buried in scenes in the 1959 were also Valerie Harper, Beth Rowland, and Jerry Lewis.) The 1959 version appears to have been based on a theatrical musical.

Few people talk about this show now. However, it won a Peabody Award and 2 Emmys in its time. It was aimed at children but a lot of adults became fierce fans of the show, and raised a ruckus when its runtime was cut. The show's ensemble included exactly 1 human being in the cast (and the title.) The show was renamed from its original, local name-"Junior Jamboree." The name it's remembered by only mentions 1 human being in it. Its name is composed of the names of the 3 main characters- the human and 2 puppets. The show was a black-and-white, AFAIK. It was in syndication into the early 70s, but was a series from the 60s.

I forgot Elton John did one. It's a song by "The Who" to me. But George is correct that Sir Reginald Dwight's version included this section. So, correct. And I'm sorry I didn't have a curveball for you there. People keep expressing shock that the Pinball Wizard could play without being able to see or hear, and that he plays by "intuition" and "sense of smell."

Around here, the choir may be the only ones REPLYING, but we get a LOT of lurkers and guests who read things. Remember that twi has always been about information blackouts, with limited releases of information? twi'ers used to visit Waydale to get the latest news their hq refused to tell them. So, lots of fans of twi and/or fans of vpw still read here, and some of this information may just be what they need to get deliverance and move on with their lives.

Sometimes, you can't tell until later that you've "dodged a bullet." It seems like he would have been satisfactory or better, but twi's intrusion into your relationship would have poisoned the thing and made you both miserable. (If he was dysfunctional, he might have ENJOYED the harmful power dynamic they pushed because he would have someone to bark orders to. That certainly was one motivator for vpw.)

"Even on my favorite table He can beat my best. His disciples lead him in And he just does the rest."

Pacino stole the show there, and I still haven't sat down to watch the entire movie.

Oh, good. I kept thinking "Why do I think that character was called 'Danny'?"

Actually, naming it "High High" would have been fair also, except people would have expected a drug movie. Your turn.

Yes.

For fun, I once took an informal poll around the GSC. After all, we've had claims that vpw was some sort of EXCEPTIONAL athlete, and a PROFESSIONAL athlete, at times. Well, the "professional" part was nothing but smoke, and we can see that clearly from here. As for "exceptional", he was nothing of the kind among the ex-twi crowd. His "athletic career" stopped short of both a varsity team position and an amateur athlete competitive hobby on the side. We ended up with about 1/3 of the respondents having at least "played all through college" or having played an equivalent amount after, or on a JV team, with another 1/3 of respondents EXCEEDING his accomplishments, either by performing on the Varsity team in college, or with national competitions outside of school as an amateur. So, it should be clear to any REASONABLE readers that vpw was hardly a noteworthy athlete by the time he entered college, having not even lettered in his chosen sport. However, the myth of the man, the bs, paints him as an accomplished athlete at the collegiate level and beyond, and a few people still depict him as some sort of "over-gifted" athlete with an "overabundance" of brawn.

This is a recap of what's been said before. If you were in twi long enough when vpw was alive, you heard claims passed around about vpw's supposed athletics history. Eventually, he had people believing he invented the "hook shot" (According to Wikipedia, the first OFFICIAL uses were in the 1930s in Europe.) He certainly had people thinking he was a Varsity Basketball player in college, and a professional for a time after college. The funny thing is, he got people to believe that by not actually saying it. He INSINUATED that he did both. He phrased himself very carefully- he never actually SAID either, but he used the words that would give people the IMPRESSION that he had said so. Let's review what it said in the book-long advertisement known as "the Way-Living in Love"...pg-174. (reviewed in the thread, "the Way: Living in Wonderland") "I played basketball all through college and was even involved in the pro-team, the Sheboygan Redskins. " Now, that's the entire claim. People have come away from that, thinking, logically, that he said he was on the college varsity team and played for the Sheboygan Redskins. He said he "played basketball all through college." Someone found photos of his high school team, and he was on that. Nobody's found any evidence he was ever on the college varsity team. But his claim doesn't mention any TEAM for college, just that he played all through college. If he showed up and shot hoops with his friends once a season, he "played all through college." vpw was also fond of claiming every title to which he was entitled, claiming it was the best, then adding false claims on top of those. If he HAD been on his varsity team, he would have been specific about that and not been so deceptively vague. Logically, the reason there's no evidence he was ever on their team is the same reason he never claimed he actually PLAYED on the team- he never actually PLAYED on the team. As for the Sheboygan Redskins, he never played for them either- and never ACTUALLY claimed he did. He was "involved in" their team. That's as specific as he got. The WATERBOY is "involved in" the team. The team dietician is "involved in" the team. The reporter who covers the team is "involved in" the team. A poster here did some research on that team. "Here's what I know about that: The Sheboygan Redskins began play in 1938 and were members of the National Basketball League, which featured, among others besides the Redskins, the Akron Firestone Non-Skids, the Cleveland White Horses, the Toledo Jeeps and the Indianapolis Kautskys. The NBL existed until 1949, when it merged with the Basketball Association of America to form the modern NBA. Shebyogan played one season in the new league before folding their tent permanently in 1950. Now, according to the Basketball Hall of Fame and the Association for Professional Basketball Research, nobody by the name of "Wierwille" ever played a game for Sheboygan, the NBL, or any other professional basketball league going back to the very first one, the National Basketball League, which started in 1898." Again, no evidence he played for them- which should not be a surprise, since he never actually CLAIMED he played for them. He made the vague comments and counted on people to misunderstand, and pass around the misinformation. Oh, one other thing I found about that. Someone published something with an obvious error. Someone wrote an anti-cult paper online, and in it is the sole claim in print that vpw played for the Sheboygan Redskins. What was their source? The book "the Way: Living in Love." (They footnoted correctly.) In other words, the only place where a claim was ever officially made that vpw played for the Sheboygan Redskins was from someone who read " was even involved in the pro-team, the Sheboygan Redskins" and announced from that that he played for them. I saw someone later quote the paper- but the paper was in error and it is easy to catch when all the data's lined up.

" "Remember, remember, the fifth of November. The gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot". But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes, and I know that, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like? We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught. He can be killed and forgotten. But four hundred years later an idea can still change the world. I've witnessed firsthand the power of ideas. I've seen people kill in the name of them; and die defending them. But you cannot kiss an idea, cannot touch it or hold it. Ideas do not bleed, it cannot feel pain, and it does not love. And it is not an idea that I miss, it is a man. A man who made me remember the fifth of November. A man I will never forget."

No. More clues in a moment.

Bascom was his character in "Boston Legal"? This is William Shatner, the star of the Esperanto movie, "Incubus."
