[offtopic] Steve, it's not a "hair lip", it's called a "harelip". http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-harelip.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleft_lip_and_palate [/offtopic]

This is "the Brady Bunch." The exchange is what I remember. Greg worked for Sam the Butcher for the Summer or something. Then he and Bobby got locked in the meat-locker. (It's incredibly dangerous to have a room that won't unseal from the inside without a key. A super I once knew called an APARTMENT like that "a deathtrap" in casual conversation, and told the guy who lived there to replace it with a slam-lock or something instead of needing the key from inside, and said if something happened, he would die. He was pretty serious. But, it happens in sitcoms and is all fixed by the end of the episode.) The meat-locker had a small window, and Greg was able to smash it and hoist Bobby to it. Bobby, the smallest, worked his way out of the window. Then he tried to use the payphone to call Sam to show up with the key. But he didn't have a dime for the phone. Greg threw him one. Which Bobby stopped and commented about instead of just dialing. (The line about the awfully cold dime comes back to me clearly- which brings back dimmer memories of the rest of the scene, and I can reconstruct more from that.) We were talking about TV clown Bozo. One of the kids (Bobby, I think, but it could have been Peter) tried to win a contest on TV eating ice cream. Without his hands. On one of those kids-with-a-costumed-clown shows, except this guy was some sort of king.

Wasn't that about "the new birth", and not about general labors?

I know this is an "Enterprise" episode, and that's probably as far as I'll get. I remember the "pineapple cake" subplot.

Yes, it's "Justice." I think one obvious question is "how thorough is your briefing of the laws of the society, if you didn't know there was ONE penalty for law-breaking, and it could be dispensed for littering or jaywalking if it was done in a randomly-determined place?"

One the one hand, she didn't seem to mind enjoying the royal treatment she got, that vpw demanded they both get. She's been heard being rather bossy at times with jobs that had to be redone that were technically fine, but didn't look the way she pictured, so Way Builders had to pull out good work and start over. Her appearance at his side lent slick vic a legitimacy beyond his con. On the other hand, would any of us want to have traded places with her? Despite the creature comforts, she lived under vpw's thumb and at his sufferance. The man had a violent temper, chose to rage at will, was frequently drunk, and saw all other humans in relation to what they did for him, and not people in their own rights, due their own dignity. I have little doubt she lived in fear of him for much of her life. (Or "negative believing" for those of you who haven't freed yourself of compulsive wayspeak.)

Time for the next movie. "Springtime for Hitler and Germany. Winter for Poland and France."

It varies between languages, presumably to a common, pithy saying easily recognized by the audience. According to the IMDb page, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081505/trivia "The book that Jack was writing contained the one sentence ("All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy") repeated over and over. Stanley Kubrick had each page individually typed. For the Italian version of the film, Kubrick used the phrase "Il mattino ha l' oro in bocca" ("He who wakes up early meets a golden day"). For the German version, it was "Was Du heute kannst besorgen, das verschiebe nicht auf Morgen" ("Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today"). For the Spanish version, it was "No por mucho madrugar amanece más temprano" ("Rising early will not make dawn sooner."). For the French version, it was "Un 'Tiens' vaut mieux que deux 'Tu l'auras'" ("A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"). "

Ok, in the interest of moving things along, I'll suppose there was some sort of confirmation for the correct episode in there somewhere, and post the next clue. =============================== "I've listed my report on their customs and laws, sir. Fairly simple, common sense things." "But even the happiest report has its negatives. Let's start with them." "There are none, sir. Not that any of us can find."

That's "the Shining." BTW, in other languages, that's not the sentence that gets repeated all over the book.

Nobody pulled that when I was in, either, but they did slowly work their way there after I left. Children, remember, were an inconvenience in twi- they did not contribute, and they used up time and money the parents could instead hand over to twi. So, there were things eventually like how, if civilization broke down (the conspiracy theories), the kids were expendable because the parents, if alive, could have more children. There were also leaders who told parents how to "take care" of their children. If the child didn't listen the first few times, then you were to whallop him with a 2 x 4. At least they were consistent- some of them whalloped their OWN SMALL CHILDREN for failing to do EXACTLY as they were told. Some parents were told to leave a disobedient child out in the woods and abandon them for life. Here's a pair of threads where we discussed the disposability of children. It started with vpw, of course, who recommended the same techniques for training hunting dogs as for CHILDREN- and reputable sources said these techniques are wrong for training DOGS!

HCW claimed he was always treated well by vpw himself. I think that vpw was a lazy stereotyper. It's always easy to make disparaging comments about, say, a n1gger or a spear-chucker, but not QUITE so easy to make disparaging comments about HCW, a fellow working on periodicals. It was a LOT easier just to regurgitate (plagiarize) what he was getting from the Liberty Lobby and other conspiracy sources (just as he did much the same with Christian sources) than to make any kind of real correction for any accuracy. Big surprise lcm pulled much the same stuff with conspiracies. Everyone else out there remember hearing from lcm that the Pope bought an aircraft carrier and was getting ready to force conversions to Roman Catholicism at bayonet-point?

"NO WIRE HANGERS, EVER!!!!!"

Luke 10: 25-37 25And a lawyer stood up and put Him to the test, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" 26And He said to him, "What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?" 27And he answered, "YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND; AND YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." 28And He said to him, "You have answered correctly; DO THIS AND YOU WILL LIVE." 29But wishing to justify himself, he said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" 30Jesus replied and said, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead. 31"And by chance a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32"Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33"But a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion, 34and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35"On the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, 'Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return I will repay you.' 36"Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers' hands?" 37And he said, "The one who showed mercy toward him." Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do the same." =============================== Is Billy living Christian values? Whether or not Billy is a Christian, it seems the values he espouses are Christian. (Presuming he accurately depicts himself and Tom accurately conveys Billy's heart.) His values are values Christ put forth. (Whether or not he upholds ALL Christ put forth remains to be seen, but that which IS seen matches Christ's words.) One may also say that Billy is living proper Jewish values, inasmuch as the values were also matching what a student of the Mosaic Law stated. I suppose there are Christians AND Jews who might give another answer- meaning that Billy would have to live ALL their values before they could approve. I am not among them. I'm also aware that to call something "Christian" and have it NOT be an insult can be rare in some circles. I don't hold to that either. I've seen non-Christians who've used the term "Christian" to refer to actions or ideas in a complimentary fashion. I believe the ability of them TO do so- mostly by actions and ideas matching those of Christ- is the entire idea behind being able to say so. (In case that was unclear, I mean that I think Christ had in mind that we would do good works and hold pure ideas, and that one result would be that the term "Christian" should be a compliment.) Matthew 5:14-16 " 14"You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; 15nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16"Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. "

Seems the only way to win is not to play, Flow7. That's "Wargames."

More LEAD threads. "LEAD" " Lead, Total Fitness Institute and John Summerville" " The dangers of Lead" But the first one Waysider linked, IMHO, was more relevant. Although I had my say more in the thread I linked called "LEAD" than in the others, I think. Not directly on LEAD, but related to things we were stupid enough to agree to, is this thread: "Foolhardy behavior"

In the episode, yes. But lcm can't carry a tune in a bucket.

Nice contrast, wasn't it? The little ugly statues in people's homes were scale models of the BIG ugly statue of vpw they had made. No, I never saw it, but the advertisements mentioned it.

Christian Family and Sex class. vpw is explaining that the man's testes were not completely in precise alignment with each other. One was slightly lower than the other. He said that they HAD to be that way. If they were together, they'd bang together, and "the man would be in such pain...he would just go nuts." His facial expression suggested he didn't catch the secondary meaning of the phrasing he used. =============================== pfal. When discussing "Giver and the Gift." "If I gave you this book on "Receiving the Holy Spirit Today", would you get the gift, or would you get me, the giver? Of course you wouldn't get the giver- how lucky could you get?"

Right- check up behind him. BUT, if you FIND anything, then you'd better keep your mouth shut, because they'll come down on you like a ton of bricks. I said something, but didn't take people step-by-step through exactly why it was true. (I said it too briefly- one verse referred to another, but I didn't take us word-by-word through both to demonstrate it. I figured people knew how to read, and the Bibles were open to both on the same page.) Someone said I couldn't just "say" it. Instead of taking them through it, I then asked if they'd accept it as true if vpw made the exact same claim and didn't support it. They said they would, without hesitation. I applaud their honesty, but not their brains at the time. That person was the spouse of a country coordinator at the time. After leaving twi, someone said once that vpw claimed he wasn't ready to BEGIN researching a verse until he'd read it FORTY TIMES. (Mind you, I consider that a GROSS exaggeration. Plus, just rereading something over and over in no way guarantees any greater UNDERSTANDING- certainly not after the first few- if you cared when you read it THE FIRST TIME.) That person then said he considered himself unqualified to reteach pfal because he hadn't read the entire Bible, Genesis to Revelation, FORTY TIMES. (Suggesting that A) that would be necessary to teach the Bible, and B) that vpw had actually done that

It was bound to happen eventually... Hope you enjoyed yours, homeslice.

This was the groovy hippie episode of TOS, easily the most dated episode, but it was quirky enough that I found it entertaining. I was never a hippie, so they seemed like an alien culture. :) Here's a piece of trivia... The lead singer there may look familiar if you watch it sometime. He's Charles Napier. If you saw the "Blues Brothers" movie, he played the lead singer/driver for the Country/Western band, "the Good Old Boys". Other than the singing, he doesn't quite look the hippie type to me in the episode.

Yes indeed. Your turn again.
