What are you derailing, John? Well, on page 1, post 18, you put the first non-topic post on, and the subject changed from "nuttiness" to your favorite topic, how vpw's depravity should be a non-issue. " I can't help but notice how much posters here attack VPs credibility down to the minutest detail."

It IS Zorro. I don't know shows that haven't aired before the 70s because-why would I? If they aired in reruns I can know them-and there's b & w TV like Flash Gordon I DID see. In the case of Disney's Zorro, someone else introduced me to it the other year. It's airing in other languages NOW outside the US.

Among others, Disney's done a series on this character. So did the Family Channel. And Sony, in association with Telemundo. And Filmation. And Warner Brothers. And the Japanese. And the Filipinos. Not counting a tv movie. Although not counting that might upset Frank Langella, Ricardo Montalban and Yvonne de Carlo.

"Pokemon" was named for the longer name "pocket monsters." There was no character called "Pokemon."

"We do not train to be merciful here. Mercy is for the weak. Here, in the streets, in competition. A man confronts you, he is the enemy. An enemy deserves no mercy what is the problem, Mr. Lawrence?" "Wax on, right hand. Wax off, left hand. Wax on, wax off. Breathe in through nose, out of mouth. Wax on, wax off. Don't forget to breathe, very important."

This was the first post. I don't think that anyone who's still attracted to nuttiness AFTER leaving twi should be allowed to derail it.

Hey, little sister, who is it you're with? Hey, little sister, what's your vice and wish? Hey, little sister, shotgun (oh, yeah) Hey, little sister, who's your Superman Hey, little sister, shotgun! Billy Idol's signature hit, "White Wedding."

I know Rottiegrrl owns/owned a Rottweiler, and I suspect a pic of that dog is her avatar. We had other animals too, like Grizz Bear and others with animal avis like the frog animation. I think some poster tried to use mine, then switched to a sugar glider or something when I asked him to stop. Cindy! and her daughter used/use a Tigger animation. That's off the top of my head. Explaining mine would take long and get personal. The shorter answers include that this avatar was a commissioned piece of art for me. I find that wolves are victims of a smear campaign in Europe, which includes translating the DESERT JACKAL as "wolf" in the Bible when wolves may never have lived in much of Palestine. (I don't know how to find out one way or the other.) Wolves are family oriented, and deal directly with each other and rarely to excesses of violence. Many people I've met could learn something from their social behavior. BTW, if you look closely, you'll see my wolf has a book in the avi. The fuller pic (cropped for the avatar) shows it's cradled in his paws.

The character is well-known to the degree that they made their show. I'd be shocked if you'd seen THEIR show. There's been others that aired in the US, like the Disney one.

Ok, next one. Among others, Disney's done a series on this character. Then again, so did the Japanese. And the Filipinos. And others.

Or a "JERK", depending on the movie, I guess.

That Steve Martin can be a real churl, or a boob. Quite a fool.

Since I'm sure of it, let's move on. "One, two, Freddy's coming for you."

the Vanishing Sandra Bullock Demolition Man

Often, it was. Outside of twi, there's a number of organizations with "secrets" that are worthless or meaningless. However, since they label it with enough bells and whistles, members think something special is being hidden. Thus, there's a lot of variations on the title "guardian of the mysteries." That's pretty much part of the human condition, and describes organizations that are current as well as historic. People seem to want to feel like they're "insiders" to some special secret.

Depending on why, I don't see that as a bad thing. Part of the GSC's mission is to get the word out about twi. Part of te GSC's mission is to help people learn to live normal lives after twi. twi, as a whole, is currently a puny, archaic, unattractive thing. Outsiders are warned long before they CAN get sucked in-and there's little to attract them ANYWAY. The warnings are partly because of the GSC. If twi's membership is shrinking and is tiny, the GSC succeeded. Let's face it- twi's membership is still in "negative growth." They are small, and a few people still leave every year. Plus, people either drop dead (it happens everywhere) or get old and kicked out like Mrs W was when she needed care. They are NOT replaced by new recruits, generally. The only new people are children, and twi has been actively campaigning AGAINST members having children! Those children who DO manage to be born and grow up often flee twi. So, there's the aging twi population, and a tiny group of offspring who think they can succeed in changing things that all the establishment struggle to keep the same. Ah, the optimism of youth! And the naivete. It's how most of us got suckered in, after all. As for GSC members, over time, they get on with their lives and find other things are more important-family, etc. That means fewer posters. Is that a bad thing? Not for the people who got on with their lives. They are GSC success stories!

BTW, I met a "Leo Blum" the other week. Never heard of "the Producers" before we met. In other news, this one's the original "Clash of the Titans."

I do agree that SOME ex-twiers are a lot warier. "Once bitten, twice shy." So, they always look for the hook at the other side of the bait. As for those still gullible, I think this is the answer. Something is "secret" or "hidden"? They have to have it. And they lack the wit to tell it's NONSENSE, but well-written nonsense. But it's SECRET nonsense, so they HAVE to think it's true and grab it.

Somehow, I get the impression the newer version never included this line. Not enough time for all the action scenes if you included more dialogue and plot....

"Dark Man" ???

That's it. I went with the more recent War of the World's description.

I've heard of them, once or twice. I don't know if the show's aired while I've been alive. *checks* Ok, the Disney Channel aired them in syndication once. When I didn't have the Disney Channel. Most shows, I have at least an outside chance if they played in the 70s or later. I can take a wild swing if I know they aired before that- say, if it's mentioned as a clue it was black-and-white or something. Most B&W shows didn't air past the mid-70s.

Might as well just give the name. Still no idea.
