"One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small"

Ok, it was the second stanza, but still the same song.

"Well, half a hole. I gave the rest to Jeremy." "What would he do with half a hole?" "Fix it to keep his mind from wandering!" "YELLOW SUBMARINE."

Franchise....Summer Glau.....NOT Firefly/Serenity......... "TERMINATOR-THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES."

"Springtime for Hitler and Germany. Winter for Poland and France."

Everything they just said was correct. Including Human letting you take his turn- which was a nice thing meant to encourage new players. ----------------------------------------------------- This is the opening line from Peter Gabriel's "SLEDGE HAMMER." (Once you've seen the video with the dancing chickens, you can't un-see them.)

"Nightmare on Elm Street, Freddy's Nightmares"?

I've got 2 guesses. I'm leading with "DUKE ELLINGTON."

He was neither in PCU nor "Very Bad Things."

She packed my bags last night pre-flight

My fever dropped! I have a vague memory I dreamed about Muppet Highlander again..... Oh, this round, right. The movie is "Highlander", with Christopher Lambert as Connor Mac Leod. (I also have a vague memory of Matt Le Blanc in a "Lost in Space" movie. Must have been that fever talking...)

The answer IS "LLOYD BRIDGES." I was getting ready to post all his latest stuff, all the stuff I'd recognize easily. Like Leslie Nielsen, I remember him playing all his roles straight. Unlike Nielsen, he could add gravitas as needed- which is why he was well-suited to playing "Commander Cain" of the original "Battlestar Galactica" (as far as I'm concerned, the ONLY BG), and thus the commanding officer of the Battlestar Pegasus, the other surviving Battlestar. Week, or wheat?

I doubt he was in the last one, I'm confident he wasn't in "PCU."

No.

"Good Morning, Starshine."

So, vpw did teach others. So, if the first part of the alleged 1942 Promise was correct, then it was completed, like a contract, with both parties delivering what they were supposed to. But, did vpw teach "God's Word like it hadn't been known since the 1st century"? No. First, nearly 100% of everything he taught has been traced to other Christian writers or teachers whom he plagiarized. So, each of his teachings was on something as someone knew in the 20th century already. Was that a made-up promise, or was it the promise of a being so uninformed it didn't know people were already teaching the Bible and writing about it? Or was it a lying spirit that promised this? The possibilities vpw was listening to a lying spirit or a stupid god are even worse than vpw just lying and plagiarizing. Second, what was "God's Word as it was known in the 1st century"? Nothing like twi! People knew God's Word by experience and in power. The written texts studied ad nauseum in twi were largely UNKNOWN in the 1st century. People read the Torah, taught, prayed, healed, and saw miracles. The selling points of Christianity were results, not clever men at pulpits teaching a new Greek word or making a bad joke. Christians were decentralized, Christians had no head honcho on the Earth, Christians had no codified "Statements of Belief." Christians weren't tithing. Christians weren't buying books or paying money for classes. In short, the 1st century Christians did NOT resemble vpw's claims or twi in any way other than vpw CLAIMING they were the same. Talk is cheap, and the reality was VERY different. If you want to see something of the 1st century in vpw's work, review the "ministry" of Simon the sorcerer.

"God did not speak to Victor Paul Wierwille and give him divine instruction for all mankind that he would teach “the Word” like it hasn’t been known since the first century. That is a lie from a book they no longer claim and a lie that is not in the man’s biography written by his spouse. " In case someone particularly nostalgic- who doesn't know any better- has just arrived, read that, and said aloud "Oh, yeah? Prove it!", I'm going to reply. First of all, the Burden of Proof is on the person who insists on the existence of something, the one who says "this is true." In this case, that means the burden of proof is on the one who claims that the alleged 1942 promise was true. So, they are asking the wrong question to begin with. However, I'm not done. In many cases, where some claim has been made, we can look things over and confirm or dismiss them. Let's look at the claim. vpw claimed that God Almighty spoke to vpw himself and said that He (God) would teach him (vpw) God's Word as it hadn't been known since the First Century if he (vpw) would teach it (God's Word) to others. Further, vpw insisted that he demanded God prove this by making it snow. A moment later, he was in a complete snowstorm and could see nothing out the window. First of all, the claim in taped pfal was that vpw had dedicated his life to God's Word. Nobody heard this 1942 Promise until much further into twi. Second of all, his own WIFE heard nothing about this in 1942. She wrote that he first told this to the early corps- so the first words out of his mouth that day to here weren't "Honey, something amazing happened today and I have to tell you about it..." (I've heard claims that Mrs W was wrong and people heard of it in the mid-1960s. Even if true, it doesn't change him saying NOTHING to his wife when is ALLEGEDLY happened. Third of all, vpw's claim CHANGED. When he first made the claim, the sky filled with snow was "BLACK" with snow. Later, he claimed he was in a white-out (my phrasing), where the sky was all white. If the man had a genuine experience with God, he would remember if the sky suddenly turned all-WHITE or all-BLACK, because even the legally blind can tell the difference between an all-white and an all-black sky. However, if vpw was making this up, and later heard that an all-snow sky is all white, he would change his story. If he was repeating a miraculous occurrence, he would have added comments. "I know the sky SHOULD have looked all white, but there it was- all BLACK outside my window in the middle of the day..." This change reflected someone trying to convince people of a story he was making up and fine-tuning as he heard objections. Fourth, all weather reports of the day show no snow anywhere in the state. He never claimed it was a VISION of snow, but real snow. However, let us continue AS IF he claimed it was a VISION of snow. Then the rest of his claims should be examined for all their faults.

That's it. And yes, we love that exchange. Burns referred to Klinger as an "enlisted man." Hawkeye countered by asking Klinger if he enlisted. This was his reply, complete with Trapper's reaction.

"We are the Knights who say 'Ni'! "

Good thing I hadn't remember Keifer was in it too, that would have made it harder. Well, moving on....

I saw "the Vanishing." If it wasn't Jeff Bridges or Sandra Bullock, I was going to be lost. I thought I'd recognize more of his movies, so with the other names not ringing a bell, I figured it was her.

Ok, let's try a one-hit-wonder. "Heading for the 90s, living in the 80s, sitting in the back room, waiting for the big boom."
