  1. The splinter groups often did the same/ do the same.... unless you're one of certain SPECIFIC people.... they get a free pass and the rest of the group are supposed to conform.
  2. He meant to quote "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" all along. So the corrected quote and the second quote were both from it. I guessed that correctly. ================= Next movie. "Would you like to have a 'roll in the hay'? It's fun! Roll, roll, roll in the hay!"
  3. "Saw the ghost of Elvis on Union Avenue. Followed him up to the gates of Graceland,then I watched him walk right through."
  4. The misquote is from "Blazing Saddles", and the original quote is from "Treasure of the Sierra Madre." Most people remember the "Blazing Saddles" version.
  5. "Is it any wonder I've got TOO MUCH TIME ON MY HANDS"?, by Styx. (We almost went from Stones to Styx. Maybe another time. :) )
  6. "Jarvis" was the very smart A/I program that runs his house, and he copied to his IM suits (except for the Mark I, of course, which he left in pieces in the desert.) "Dummy" is the most consistent name he gave the robot that he put on fire safety. "Day 11, Test 37, Configuration 2.0. For lack of a better option, Dummy is still on fire safety. If you douse me again, and I'm not on fire, I'm donating you to a city college. Seriously, we're just gonna start off with 1% thrust capacity. And three... two... one. Please don't follow me around with it either because I feel like I'm going to catch on fire spontaneously. Just stand down. If something happens, then come in." It also worked around the lab, notably in a deleted scene when Stark was constructing one of the boots.
  7. I'm hearing the piano part, and I think that's the Rolling Stones on vocals, but I'm blanking on a name. "Angel"? (Am I thinking of the right song?)
  8. "Surely you can't be serious!" "I am serious. And don't call me Shirley!"
  9. Raf said it here first. "We don't die when we stop believing- we die when we stop breathing." Ultimately, that's one major weakness of twi and the Word-Faith movement in general- nobody knows how to minister to the suffering other than to BLAME them for suffering. Oh, it's easy for a celebrity (already rich, famous, etc) to say "I got this far through believing." What about the millions of celebrity VIEWERS who believed hard enough to pop a blood vessel and reality just stayed where it was? Among scientists, the supposed "proof" of this sort of thing is called "counting the hits and ignoring the misses." When the "law" of believing fails, they change the subject and claim it never failed.... This is the same type of talk the "miserable comforters" gave Job- "Oh, bad things are happening to you? Well, it's your own fault!" twi aligns itself with the miserable comforters whenever one of the twi'ers opens their fool mouth to someone suffering in any way. It's adding insult on top of the injury.
  10. I liked that Clark began with saying he wasn't....then eventually, at the rate they were going at the breakfast table... "He MAY pork her, Russ."
  11. *checks* Different artist, but same lyrics, so that's it, which means it's your turn, more or less.
  12. Plug a decent set of headphones in your PC's speaker's port, or in the headset port if you're using a laptop or smaller, and you have an internet radio. Then all you need is a station streaming, or Pandora's URL. (Inside the US. Outside the US, Pandora doesn't work. RIAA concerns.)
  13. In the internet age, you have increasingly fewer excuses. Besides there being "streaming" content for thousands of radio stations (I saved one local one and another in Canada) in every imaginable format, If you live in the USA, you can listen to "your" radio station on Pandora. Give it about 2 hours in the first few days, and then you should find fewer songs you dislike playing, and more songs you like playing. http://www.pandora.com/ Give them some input in the beginning, and the selection will steer towards what you like.
  14. *flips a coin in his head* "National Lampoon's European Vacation."
  15. Not the first line. "Well we all shine on, Like the moon and the stars and the sun"
  16. I'm in the right neighborhood. I'm trying to remember if this was in the first or the second.
  17. Yes. No. Considering Dracula is the most-filmed character in movie history (Sherlock H took 2nd place, last I heard), it should surprise few people there's more than one parody of Dracula. Although my favorite scene is still from "Love at First Bite." (The "black chicken" scene.)
  18. "Would you care for some wine?" "I never drink wine... Oh, what the hell. Let me try it."
  19. *pictures Sean Connery collecting a shrubbery and falls over laughing*
  20. It's hard to stump this crowd with a Mel Brooks movie, anyway. This one is "History of the World, Part I." Comicus had trouble when performing at Caesar's Palace. The peasants in the French Revolution were incredibly poor. And the Empress, I think, was having trouble with her litter-bearers. (I know I didn't HAVE to specify those, but I did anyway and you couldn't stop me...)
  21. Some threads discussing some of these things: http://www.greasespotcafe.com/main2/waydale/waydale-documents-html/the-ways-y2k-document-for-all-way-followers.html http://www.greasespotcafe.com/main2/waydale/waydale-editorials/martindale-the-pope-and-the-aircraft-carrier.html If you really want to dig into some of the conspiracy theory stuff, do a search on "the Liberty Lobby" and "the John Birch Society" and be prepared to read all weekend.
  22. *plugs "5 grain cereal" into Google* Here, it was probably one of these things. http://www.bobsredmill.com/5-grain-rolled-cereal.html http://www.hillbillyhousewife.com/5graincereal.htm http://www.koshervitamins.com/shop/stores_app/Browse_Item_Details.asp?showpage=1&page_id=23&Item_ID=3146 http://www.organicdirect.com/wessex-grain-cereal-185oz-p-1252.html
  23. ....which means you should look here for more information, in the section on STFI/CES: http://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/forum/68-spirit-and-truth-fellowship-international/
