Correct, just to make it official.

"He gets high on you And the space he invades He gets by on you. No his mind is not for rent To any god or government. Always hopeful, yet discontent. He knows changes aren't permanent... But change is. What you say about his company Is what you say about society. Catch the witness, catch the wit Catch the spirit, catch the spit The world is, the world is Love and life are deep Maybe as his eyes are wide." "He gets high on you. And the energy you trade He gets right on to the friction of the day."

I vaguely recall hearing something about the various ex-twi groups (read that ces/stfi) briefly tried using one ex-corps site or something as a recruitment ground. I didn't hear anything about it after that, so I imagine it wasn't as successful as they'd hoped. Then again, some of them tried to use the GSC as one as well and that didn't go so well for them, either. My "favorite" recruitment strategy was years ago on a messageboard for Christians completely unrelated to anything ex-twi. A ces/stfi staffer arrived. With his first post, he said something to the effect of "Hello, fellow Christians. I've found this Christian website just now that seems different. Can you look it over and tell me what you think?" And posted a link to his group's website. I responded immediately, greeting him by name, and pointing out how a more honest invitation might have looked, and asked if he thought Jesus would approve of intentionally deceiving Christians. He apparently headed off to greener pastures in cyberspace because I never saw him post there again. He did try another commercial HERE after that, but not there. But, really, IMHO, the twi and EX-twi communities, IMHO, are in a zero-sum game at best. When one group gets more members, it's because another one LOST members and they switched groups. With places like the GSC in operation, it's a lot easier to see the groups unable to get new, young people like the hippies vpw hijacked. So, the entire phenomenon overall is shrinking every year as fewer people join than die off of old age or actually leave the whole thing. I think it will not reach zero people entirely for maybe another 30-40 years, but as it is now, all together they're one tiny thing that will only continue to get tinier because others can offer what they have, only better.

"Woman, please! I am not from Havana!" "What did you expect? "Welcome, sonny"? "Make yourself at home"? "Marry my daughter"? You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons." "Did you hear that? Now it's "please". This morning, I couldn't get the time of day."

No, but I think he's gotten a taste of what punishment is like for his evil deeds. I don't know if he even understands that he did evil deeds or what they were- vpw certainly had no true understanding in his heart that what he did was wrong. He knew OTHERS considered them wrong and hid them, but he convinced himself- and lcm- that what he was doing was just fine. If there is any form of literal Hell, then lcm's sins coming back to haunt him is strictly "amateur hour" by comparison. It's a non-issue. You seem to be the only one posting who thinks that it's an issue and relevant to why we discuss what was done and what was happened. Honestly- people keep posting the answer to Why We Post (to warn others so they can either heal or avoid twi and its toxic doctrines and conduct), and you keep completely ignoring the answers and pretending it's all about something else, or that the posters here are all angry and emotional when posting warnings and discussing evil deeds when that's usually NOT the case. I suppose that makes it a LOT easier to dismiss everything we say, which saves you a lot of time even entertaining whether we bring anything useful to the table.

No, sorry. I need to post more clues.

I know the extra credit question. Sometime this past year, I've skimmed past something about one of the shows you mentioned, but the memory isn't clicking yet. Was the title character of either show also a member of Earth-S' Shazam's Squadron of Justice?

Ok, I'll try again. Different song, same artist. "No his mind is not for rent To any god or government. Always hopeful, yet discontent. He knows changes aren't permanent... But change is."

"Begin the day with a friendly voice A companion unobtrusive. Plays that song that's so elusive And the magic music makes your morning mood. Off on your way, hit the open road There is magic at your fingers For the spirit ever lingers Undemanding contact in your happy solitude. Invisible airwaves crackle with life. Bright antennae bristle with the energy. Emotional feedback on timeless wavelength Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free. All this machinery making modern music Can still be open-hearted. Not so coldly charted it's really just A question of your honesty, yeah, your honesty. One likes to believe in the freedom of music But glittering prizes and endless compromises Shatter the illusion of integrity, yeah. Invisible airwaves crackle with life Bright antennae bristle with the energy. Emotional feedback on timeless wavelength Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free. For the words of the prophets were written on the studio wall. Concert hall. And echoes with the sounds of salesmen. Of salesmen. Of salesmen!" This song has gotten airplay for over 30 years.

In NYC, until lcm drew his line in the sand and demanded an oath of loyalty, it was possible to spot the bumper stickers. Since then, it's harder than finding an honest politician. I don't remember ever SEEING one since 1990.

Ok, I can link from here. Let's go a little less obvious. I Love Trouble Nick Nolte 48 Hours

"Woman, please! I am not from Havana!"

Oh, so a journalist could get that information? How interesting. Now, if we only had a journalist who wanted to find it....

Raf posted the correct answer-Julius Caesar. Technically, Disney's Aladdin would have been correct because it also contained the quote. But Raf posted both answers. Then he posted a clue, which George got. So it's George's turn.

I don't think it's obscure. I knew Richard Gere was in it. It's a chick film, though, and we're short on chicks playing at the moment. I was pointing out that I am not avoiding the thread. I just am looking for a good opening to post.

There's been a few homages here and there, in cartoon form or comic book form. IIRC, 52 had expies of them, who all died in battle. Ok, got me on WW & Robin. Although the current Robins have all had long pants since Grayson became Nightwing and since Tim Drake became Robin. Ok, open-shirt, but Black Vulcan had shorts, and Apache Chief and Samurai wore what could be considered swimwear- short top, shorts. And El Dorado didn't HAVE a shirt. Trying to figure this one out. So far, nothing....

"Well screw them to get your package there on time." IIRC.

It is. Wonder Woman, and Wendy, and Batman, Robin, Superman, Aquaman, Flash, Plastic Man, Green Lantern... Black Vulcan. (Oddly enough, they didn't use Black Lightning who already existed in the comics, but made a new character with almost identical powers.) El Dorado. Apache Chief. Samurai. Wendy and Marvin, Zan and Jayna. Firestorm was added, as was Cyborg. I'm unclear why the tokens all had incomplete outfits. Black Vulcan had short pants, El Dorado's shirt was abbreviated, Apache Chief and Samurai basically wore underwear. (Were they trying to get more girl viewers for what was seen as a boys' show?)

I'll play again when I recognize the actor ending a turn, or can identify someone in the movie other than the actor linking into the movie. You're naming movies where I only know 1 actor-and naming that actor. Either that, or answering something fast before I even see it, so I can't name those either because I'm not camping on the thread.

Volvos- they're boxy but they're SAFE. "I don't know about the plant, sir. Please hold." That was the line that put me in hysterics. It was when people phoned in about the diet ad. Let's face it, if you look like this, you're fat. The ad ended with "If you call know, we'll send you a free plant." And the poor people answering the phones had no idea what the ad said. This is "Crazy People." And yes, I should have been able to get it from any of those. :)
