  1. "You're so sweet. You're so fine. I want you all and everything Just to be mine 'Cos you're my baby 'Cos you're my love." "You slide so good With bones so fair You've got the universe Reclining in your hair."
  2. James D. Edwards III's social security number was 905-80-5406. Don't blink or you'll miss the joke about Al Roker, Isaac Mizrahi, Danny DeVito, Sylvester Stallone, Dionne Warwick, Newt Gingrich, and George Lucas. Ray-Ban really appreciated the boost in sales of their Predator 2 sunglasses. I imagine getting the permits to film in the Queens-Midtown Tunnel and the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel was done in one meeting for the producer or director.
  3. 4 aging swordsmen protect the life of a young man, and hope to have him save his country- which he does by secretly becoming a dashing swordsman in his own right.
  4. For the record, vpw claiming the imaginary woman killed her imaginary son with her imaginary believing (imaginary reverse-fear) rather than the imaginary car that hit him wasn't boring. It was error-ridden, it was un-Christian New Age thinking, and it was imaginary but told as if it was real people you could have met on the street or seen in the news. But it was too FICTIONAL to be boring. Then again, the 2 fictional mean men who used their New Age visualization to think and become rich, donate lots of money, and remain hated by their community in between sitting alone in a room with nothing but vpw's clairvoyance seeing them (Honestly- how did he supposedly know they were sitting for hours thinking, AND WHAT THEY WERE THINKING, if they were behind closed doors?), those guys were boring AND fictional. However, both the imaginary woman and the imaginary men were used to support vpw's imaginary doctrine of the so-called "law" of believing that fails all the time. But their imaginary examples led to the belief that was PERCEIVED that pfal was profound and had deep truths in it. It took lots of made-up examples, and lots of INDOCTRINATION, but eventually it was made to work. If you're told something is the be-all and end-all, and that it's exciting, and everyone around you insists it's exciting, you're going to get excited about it- at least until you get some experience yourself and can form a separate opinion. Even then, a lot of people stayed quiet about pfal being boring and just went along with things until they realized it was all built on sand.

  6. Good Morning Vietnam Robin Williams Hook
  7. VIPs Baywatch Home Improvement ("the Tool Time girl") And she voiced Stan Lee's "Striperella." Considering I've seen about 1 episode's worth of Home Improvement and Baywatch, and none of the others, I think that's pretty good remembering. :)
  8. vpw knew he was a fraud from the beginning, but he had the gift of gab, and could recognize the real deal when he saw it. The sad thing for him is...God works with us sinners and our faults all the time, and in spite of our sins and faults all the time. If vpw had changed his heart, God could have worked with him instead of vpw having to fake the entire relationship. So, vpw saw an article on these new Christians, and immediately set out to subvert them. He put forth that himself was some great one, and some of them- young and naive- didn't consider the possibility that he might be lying through his teeth- and fell for it entirely. So, he found them working for God, and, through small steps, got them working for HIM and NOT God. So, he watered down their message and sold it as twi, and a LOT of people joined twi for that and were indoctrinated into "it's pfal, it's twi" rather than what really happened. However, not all of them went along. There were still people in that movement that were never derailed and subverted into twi. Too bad there were so many that WERE.

  10. Aging swordsmen protect the life of a young man who becomes a dashing swordsman of his own.
  11. The song's obviously "YOU SHOOK ME ALL NIGHT LONG. (Well, it's obvious now...) I keep hearing Angus Young's voice, so I'll say AC/DC is the artist.
  12. Judges? Oh, right, we don't have any. Technically, there wasn't a show called "The Geek Show, but there was "Beat The Geeks", a show I quite liked. (Especially since I put my odds on a guest geek in a category I liked as 1 in 3.) Here were the answers. Let's go obscure again. Answer ANY to take the round. A) This failed show could be seen as an attempt to remake "Gilligan's Island." 6 survivors of nuclear war tried to survive together on a farm and rebuild civilization. Yes, a wacky comedy set post-apocalypse. There was a schoolteacher, a homeless man (no longer homeless, he's on a farm), a radical feminist bookstore employee, a "research biologist" (he was stated to be a PATHOLOGIST and it came up in the dialogue how he missed doing analyses of cadavers), a hair salon employee, and a venture capitalist. 13 episodes were planned, 10 were aired before Fox pulled the plug. Woops! B) This MTV game-show had people sitting in a fake living room and served snacks in between the rounds while the contestants answered questions somewhat pretending to watch television and channel-surf. Adam Sandler was one host, as was Colin Quinn, Kari Wuhrer and Denis Leary, but Ken Ober started it off. The premise was that he set up his basement to host a game-show. Contestants sat belted into recliners. I loved watching them go to commercial break...the contestants would get snacks. Some would be lowered, but if it was a party food like cereal or popcorn, they had to get their bowl over their head fast as a rain of the stuff came down. It lasted for 5 seasons. Categories were selected by the contestants, supposedly by using their hand-held gadgets. MTV's Remote Control. C) This Comedy Central game-show had experts in pop culture that had to be out-smarted. 3 were regulars, and a 4th chair rotated among specialists in specific pop culture subjects. Occasionally, an expert was replaced- the music one was changed, and the Star Wars one who rotated in was different as well. Every episode had a music expert, a TV expert and a movie expert, and the rotating 4th....of course, they never, ever called them "experts", they called them something much nerdier... Beat The Geeks. I sometimes forget both Comedy Central and OLD MTV are seen as "newfangled" around here when I think of them as a little "retro." George is up.

  14. Was it simply called "Wyatt Earp"?
  15. "She's the Man Show." I'll never forget the segment of "the Museum of Annoying Guys", but my favorite was the one where they got women to sign a petition to end women's suffrage by using reflexive explanations. ("Women are suffraging needlessly right this minute!" like that.)
  16. Nicolas Cage Gone in 60 Seconds Robert Duvall
  17. Ok, I figured "Old West" meant "Spectre of the Gun," and this means it's referring to an account of the Shootout/gunfight at the OK Corral. So, maybe this is "Tombstone." (aka "Old Guns." XD )
  18. One line definitely rings a bell, but I can't place it yet.
  19. I also think the answer isn't "yes/no" and that's it. I think there was definitely something of God in people being drawn to God and choosing to embrace peace rather than hate or violence. I think the cultural zeitgeist paved the way for that, and lots of youths looked in lots of directions for their answers. Some found them in drugs, some in no-strings sex or drugs, some in Eastern philosophies, some in permutations of some or all of the above. I also think that some of the kids who dabbled in those brought that with them when they became "Jesus People" and so on, which is why, ultimately, I can't UNRESERVEDLY just say "yes" when pointing to them.
  20. But they said nothing when they said they had something to say. "We're just trying to be friendly" was about as controversial as they got. (I'm not counting their theatrical release film, "Head", because that was quickly forgotten and is usually overlooked.) It's like people who have to tell you they're "profound" because they never demonstrate it. To the unobservant, they can actually pass along the idea despite all the evidence to the contrary.
  21. Are we still on Shakespeare, by any chance?

  23. The "so" suggests there's a connection between this question and the subject of the thread, but it looks like an attempt at a derail instead. Why do you ask, and why ask on this thread when making a new thread that's relevant is free?
