Who was victor paul wierwille? Acts 8: 9Now there was a man named Simon, who formerly was practicing magic in the city and astonishing the people of Samaria, claiming to be someone great; 10and they all, from smallest to greatest, were giving attention to him, saying, "This man is what is called the Great Power of God." 11And they were giving him attention because he had for a long time astonished them with his magic arts. He bamboozled a bunch of people in God's name. What will the state of the former way "international" in 15 years? Acts 5: 36"For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and a group of about four hundred men joined up with him. But he was killed, and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing."

He's the only one I ever heard say it. I'd heard him on at least one tape saying that. He's the only one DUMB enough to pull it. Although when I was brand-new, I heard someone say it in passing to someone else. Apparently, they picked it up from lcm's tapes.

Yes. So long as you're logging in from the same IP address, it will suggest those people as possible "friends" for Twinky. Of course, you don't have to make them "friends" of the new account.

Let's not copy him- he'd only think that was some sort of compliment.

Merry Christmas! And the name "Christmas" comes from the "Mass" one attended. lcm's delusions to the contrary, it was a term referring to the day (like Michaelmas and Candlemas.) lcm somehow came up with the hallucination that it referred to the mass-acre of the innocents when Herod wanted the King of the Jews dead. (Or any of his other comments on the day- "Happy Kill-Christ Day, celebrating the death of Christ..." ) ================= We must condemn the other Christians! They took a secular holiday, changed the name, and made a few tweaks, and celebrated it as a holiday! What will WE do about Christmas Valentines Day other holidays? Well, let's change the name and make a few tweaks, then celebrate them as holidays. During the holiday, we can also delight in how we're better than other Christians...

That was me. I opened one Facebook account with EVERYTHING disabled, and not using my real name. I later opened one for this (the other week). As soon as I signed in, it suggested 2 "friends"- the one "friend" for the other account, and someone recommended for that because they knew the "friend." The only connection between the 2 accounts, separated by months, was the same IP address was used for both accounts. So, yes, Facebook monitors your IP address. Even when I gave them no personal information (and neither account has any real correct info), they will still log the only things they can log- IP address and email address. If brainfixed wants to use an alias for his account and sign up for the Facebook group (which IS a "private" group), he can do that and set everything on the account so only he sees it. Then let someone know what name he's using so they can approve him for the group. http://xkcd.com/743/

If we did one site to act as a ring buoy ("life preserver") for rescuing twi victims, and one more for socialization, I thought this worked for the socialization.

This doesn't affect the game, but this statement was incorrect. The Enterprise of the original series, NCC-1701, was a CONSTITUTION-CLASS ship. The class was upgraded entirely as of Star Trek-The Motion Picture. The 2nd Enterprise the original crew used, NCC-1701A- was another modified Constitution-Class ship renumbered and renamed. (ST 4-6.) That ship was decommissioned. The next Enterprise was NCC-1701B, an Excelsior-class ship with the STANDARD warp drive (Excelsior kept the Trans-Warp drive, but the later builds excluded it, probably because Scotty demonstrated they were too easy to "hack".) That was John Harriman's ship. (ST:Generations.) The Enterprise after that was NCC-1701C, an Ambasssador-class ship, under Rachel Garrett. ("Yesterday's Enterprise".) That was destroyed in battle. The next one was the NextGen ship NCC-1701D, a Galaxy-Class ship. That survived the entire series, then went down like a fighter with a glass jaw in "ST:Generations." Its successor, the NCC-1701E, was a Sovereign-class ship. Last we heard, that was still in operation. Picard's first command was "the Stargazer". THAT was a CONSTELLATION-class ship. It was seen in "the Battle."

It's probably time for us to give that a try. I know we COULD have tried it before, but we got used to the forums. Maybe this would work a lot better now. I forget exactly who it was, but there was one moment where there were 3 of us in the chatroom. One of the other guys said (IIRC) "When someone shoots, I shoot back." So I felt this was the moment to reply by sound effect. Me: *cannon sound* Him: *cannon sound* Me: *cannon sound* Him: *cannon sound* Me: *scream sound* Him: *ambulance sound*

"I don't want clever conversation, I never want to work that hard. I just want someone that I can talk to" -
======================== I know it was a previous round, but the quote I think most appropriate was from "What You Leave Behind..." Kira:"I'll remember this moment forever. I'll remember all our moments." Odo:"As will I."

You have it. I was using only quotes from Picard's moments in the past to make a bunch of quotes resembling "Encounter at Farpoint" that didn't actually happen AT the Farpoinr mission. I thought this episode was too obvious to use right now, but with a little ingenuity, it became a bit more challenging. Personally, I thought Picard was very slow on the uptake in this episode. On my first viewing, I found myself yelling warnings at the television. Picard: *puzzled* "Why is it larger in the past?" Me:"It's GROWING!" Long before the thing formed, I was saying to shut the scanning beam off and leave the area. Q: "Goodbye, Jean-Luc. I'll miss you. You did have so much potential. But I guess... all good things must come to an end."

The Biodiesel Diner. All right, here me out. The "diner" part ties it into the cafe while not reusing the word "cafe." We want a place that can point to where we came from, while having its own identity. So, we had WayDale, which was needed for its time. It was a dale of sorts (a "valley" is a "dale") where people rested when fleeing twi or having been driven from it. The next step came with the Greasespot Cafe. The empty threats that we'd die once out of twi were shown to be empty words. We were not "greasespots", we were people who were beginning to thrive, to live again, to be better off than we'd ever been in twi. Twi was now the impediment we struggled against, to overcome in our lives. So, now we move on. As we do, the role of twi in our lives changes again. For us, the current group is a midget with delusions of grandeur- a handful of people living off blood money and fast-talking their consciences into silence. But to us, it's a dim memory. We have all reduced twi to an impediment we overcame long ago- like some athletes overcome a problem and eventually become champions. So, this is the next step, both as a hangout, and in our lives. Thus, the name "biodiesel." When grease is recycled, it can be refined into biodiesel- the grease now changing and serving a new function. In a like manner, our time in twi has been confronted, dealt with, and overcome. We now live as wiser individuals, stronger for having weathered the storm, more durable for having been tempered by fire, much like a sword. So, what was once our impediment- twi- now serves as a fuel for us to move forward and prosper like we never would have- were we still mentally chained to twi. So, to recognize where we were before, to acknowledge our past, and to announce our victory over small minds and small prisons for the mind, "b]the Biodiesel Diner.[/b]" (Possibly "BDD" for short.) Of course, it should have "Greasespot Cafe" mentioned prominently, and "waydale" as well, so people who look for the older versions of both can find the new version. Give it some thought. Sleep on it.

This is fantastic!

*hums and sings along for a while* *snaps his fingers^ Got it! The band is Sister Hazel. (Named after a real nun who is quite nice.) The song, IIRC, is "All For You." "Hard to say what it is I see in you. Wonder if I'll always be with you...." -
"I was asking if you'd ever been aboard a Galaxy Class starship before, sir." No. I'm, of course, very familiar with the blueprints and specifications... but this will be my first time aboard." "Well then, sir, if I may be so bold -- you're in for a treat. The Enterprise is quite a ship." "I'm sure she is." "Starfleet's canceling our mission to Farpoint Station and ordering us to the Neutral Zone as soon as we can leave spacedock." "No... no, we'll proceed to Farpoint." "Sir?" "You heard me." "How do you like your tea?" "Tea? Earl Grey. Hot." "Of course it's hot. What do ya want in it?" "Nothing..."

Will someone nudge Raf? He loves this movie. I've never seen it. I only know any of it because I've listened to him expound on it.
-
I could be, but it is not. Your logic seems to be tracking correctly, at least for now. I agree. Although we never did find out how our favorite Frenchman got that British accent. Then again, his brother didn't sound French, either.

This is someone else familiar with these particular specifications. You have the wrong episode. :)

I'm glad I'm only finding out about the mods in hindsight. I'd rather trust them in the abstract. I suspect I might have second-guessed myself wondering about their actions if I knew who they were. Instead, I could just follow the actions and see they were doing a credible and fair job, even when I disagreed with them. I've moderated on other boards before, so I try not to give staff "static" if I don't have to.

Paw said he's keeping the GSC open for reading, but not for posting. (At least for then.) Me, I appreciate it greatly. I'm still waiting for my muse to come up with some names. I think it's too tired from all the holiday hooplah. I may have something in a week.

I don't remember this as well as I might. This is at the conclusion of the Dominion War, when Cardassia throws off the Dominion presence. Garak's back on Cardassia Prime, when one frustrated Dominion leader decided all the Cardassians were to be killed (how? his forces were greatly outnumbered), made a last stand, and some of the usual cast considered what to do once peace was declared.
