Kim Catrall Sex and the City Sarah Jessica Parker (I'm presuming they were both in the movie. I've never seen the series OR the movies.)

One episode revolved around him dying, and that was it for Kenny. We didn't see him for at least a season. Parker and Stone pointed out they wanted to work more with the ensemble, which actually was better for the stories. Then we saw him reappear one episode and he wasn't dying any more. And it was as if it never happened. (Almost. And the "almost" was, IMHO. where they should have ended the series, because once they told THAT story, there was no place to go but down.)

Ok, yet another song, same artist. If nobody posts now I know you're either not checking in or are messing with me. "Yo no soy marinero. Yo no soy marinero, soy capitan, soy capitan, soy capitan."

Ok, let's see... Q was taunting Worf. Was this the one where Riker's offered Q-type powers?

"Do you like scary movies?"

Clint Eastwood obviously, but which of his movies that I didn't see was it in? Was it "Sudden Impact"?

Well, I was going to link from Donal Logue to "Blade" but apparently we needed to move faster than that.... I thought he was responding to the movie being a cipher. (I had to look it up myself.)

"Since she left me I've never been the same 'Cause I love my girl" "Now that you're gone, I'm left all alone All by myself To wander and roam 'Cause I love my girl"

I can't post more lyrics, and I won't just drop it. So, same artist, different song. "Since she left me I've never been the same 'Cause I love my girl"

I keep wanting to post hits from the 90s or later, but you won't get them. So I went back instead to something from the '50s. Those of you who listened to music back then definitely heard this one.

"You're mine, your lips belong to me. Yes, they belong to only me for eternity. You're mine, my baby and you'll always be I swear by everything I own You'll always, always be mine."

All rules are mutually-agreed-upon conventions. So, let's try to follow them. (The "no cheating" rule is the most important one, however.) Robin Williams Dead Poets Society Ethan Hawke

Just a friendly reminder..... People aren't perfect and sometimes believe things are "facts" or "historical facts" that are not true. One example is this "everyone believed the world was flat" thing. I can't speak for uneducated peasants in Europe who never went outside of a 40mile radius their entire lives. However, the educated definitely knew the world was round. Look up "Eratosthenes" sometime to see how this was known in THE GREEK EMPIRE in BC years. Sailors all thought it was obvious, too. They see the horizon every day at sea. The horizon curves. So, it keeps curving and means the planet is round. Columbus didn't have to convince anyone the world was round. He had to convince them the round world was small enough he could sail to India by sailing west from Europe and have enough food to make the trip. Of course, he was wrong. If he hadn't stumbled upon an unexpected CONTINENT, he would have run out of food and had to turn back or starved. This hasn't stopped people from teaching errors, making them into cartoons and songs, and so on. People will let you down sooner or later.

"You're mine, your lips belong to me. Yes, they belong to only me for eternity."

I think this is excellent. In fact, I'd like to come back to this. I may want to quote this exactly later to other people.

Sounds like you're "Tangled Up In Blue" like Bob Dylan. I always thought he "was happening to be employed", but all the online lyrics sites have it grammatically correct. (No, I typed my answer in, THEN looked it up before hitting "Reply." It's no fun just plugging in an answer, I have to remember it...)

Let's say you were going to plan a movie festival for friends, or programming the movie list for a TV channel for Halloween, with the obvious theme of "horror film" in any reasonable sense of the word. (i.e. no adding "The Star Wars Holiday Special" to the list just because it's so awful.) What movies do you think should at least be considered for the list? 1) I'll start off with the original "Psycho."

"Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."

Can only be "HIGHLANDER", with Christopher Lambert. (Personally, I like the TV show. Somehow, I never made it through the first movie all the way.)

I was tempted to link to Robert Downey Jr, but let's try something else. Burt Young Rocky Sylvester Stallone

Here's how the lines fell... "Two households, both alike in dignity In fair Verona, where we lay our scene. From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, where civil blood makes civil hands unclean." The opening narration. In the version with DiCaprio and Danes, this was delivered as a televised news report. "'Peace?' 'Peace?' I hate the word. As I hate Hell, all Montagues, and thee." Hot-tempered Tybalt, starting a street-brawl with members of the Montagues, the house that he and the Capulets fight with all the time. (Naming one house in the quote.) "A plague on both your houses!" Mercutio, as he lay dying. (Mentioning both houses.) "What would you have with me?" "Good King of Cats, only one of your nine lives!" Tybalt and Mercutio, as they struggled. Tybalt is nicknamed "King of Cats" for no obvious reason, and that's mentioned in earlier dialogue. "By my head, here come the Capulets!" "By my heel, I care not." Benvolio and Mercutio, chatting. (And naming the other house.) For those unclear on the names, Romeo is a Montague, and their partisans include Benvolio and Mercutio. Juliet is a Capulet, and Tybalt is her cousin or something like that. --------------- Go, Trefor.

As such, either would be correct, which is why I'd accept either answer. Since you mentioned at least one specifically (Di Caprio was in "Romeo + Juliet" and no other version), you're down with a correct answer. So it's your turn.

I'm certain there's a problem. However, 75% is a ridiculous number, and twi members are fond of making up or passing along made-up "facts" and statistical numbers that can't be found anywhere as a reliable source. I heard quite a few of them when I was in (which wasn't a huge amount of time), and I've heard a number come from them since I left. lcm once claimed he heard of a certain type of person who AVERAGED (meaning some were MORE and some less) 1000 DIFFERENT sex partners a year. Stop and think that through. There's 365 days in a year. That means they'd have to AVERAGE more than 14 DIFFERENT sex partners every week. Even if you wanted to, who has TIME to do that, and who could find that many willing partners? (Maybe someone could set a perverted goal for a week and find 14 sex partners, but by the next week that's not so much fun anymore. By the end of the month, you'd think of taking up stamp collecting or some other hobby. It's like a diet of nothing BUT your favorite food-even if you could survive it, you'd get tired of it.) If there was some RELIABLE source, I'd consider the possibility. However, there's much more likely reasons for someone to be close to the Pope- A) hierarchical ambition. All groups have people with that. B) Zeal. A dedicated adherent to the Roman Catholic Church would consider working close to the Pope as holy a duty as they could perform. (It worked for small-time hustlers like vpw, it works in all religious groups.) C) Talent. The best people for different jobs were promoted to them. D) Favoritism. A friend of a Pope or Cardinal could be promoted up. People like to work with people friendly to them. All of those are common, obvious reasons. No need to invent all sorts of criminal accusations on someone just because they work for the Pope. In twi, besides making stuff up, making stuff up specifically to have an excuse to condemn other Christians is standard operating procedure, as is passing along empty rumors that do the same.

There's moral issues and legal issues. Consider what the standards are in the rest of cyberspace, and there's sensible reasons for this. For moral reasons, we have politeness. Every single thing you post can be found in a quick search. I participated in something innocent and harmless. So did a school teacher. Photos were posted afterwards, with some names included. Nothing that affected her job, the event was fine, but her students were able to search for her name and see what she does in her private life. So, some names were taken down. If someone comes here and uses their legal name, then it's fine. Otherwise, let them have their privacy. I prefer to keep my private life private. I participate freely online whenever and wherever I wish, but I don't use my legal name. Besides, who really needs my legal name? I'm the same guy no matter what I call myself. But I don't like having my legal name searchable and giving out my private life to anyone who wants to do an online search. Then there's legal issues, which the staff can answer. It's still fair game to use the names of twi's official Board- who those people are is a matter of public record. We violate no confidences and no privacies when everyone can find out who they are in seconds. (And if not, legally they should be able to, company board member names are NOT confidential.)
