*thinks* This is one of the early ones with the Ferengi and Worf recommending attack. That gives a few possibilities to me, depending on which episodes had Ferengi. Is it "the Last Outpost"?

So much for the idea that they take care of that in the woods...

By that logic, Flat Earthers who refuse to educate themselves and see that they were basing their beliefs on incorrect information should be applauded for sticking to their convictions, and racists should be applauded for thinking that skin color makes a difference in the quality of a person-and "sticking to their guns." The "roleplaying games are evil" nonsense is fueled by urban myths, misinformation, lies, and outright fabrications. Nowadays, a little looking around the internet can give you the whole story in excruciating detail, including what was distorted, who distorted it, and so on. Me, I favor education and correcting misinformation. Cowering from legends and fairy tails should have been ended back when they ended the witch hunts.

Most of you have no idea who Gary Gygax was. Gary Gygax was one of the main designers of the Dungeons and Dragons role-playing game. (Along with D@ve Arnes0n, a twi survivor.) The number of people who've played one version or another of that game must number into the hundreds of thousands by now. Nearly all of them have gone on to productive lives since then. A few still play that game, or other games. (A number of posters here, past and present, have played it and other RPGs.) Increased interest in the setting caused by Dungeons and Dragons increased sales of Lord of the Rings, and an increased interest in books in that setting. So, all the movies in the past decade with that sort of story owe a debt to D&D gaming, as do sales of all the books they were based on. In addition, many games have been made as a result of interest in gaming which D&D began- games about secret agents, Science Fiction, superheroes, cartoons, just about anything you can imagine- including a game specifically marketed for Christians. (Dragonraid, which is still sold.) For those who wonder, yes, I'm one of the people who played it back in the 1980s. I RAN a campaign with up to 7-8 players, all of whom happened to have been Christian. AFAIK, all of them are still Christians to this day. I've also played a number of other RPGs which are not D&D based. Now then, March 4, 2008, Gary Gygax passed away. One famous convention for roleplaying gamers is GenCon. It's run since 1968. (It started with devotees of tabletop strategy and miniatures, and expanded into RPGs over the decades.) Like many long-standing conventions, GenCon raises money for charity during its convention. Since Gary Gygax's favorite charity was Christian Children's Fund, they raised money in 2008 for Christian Children's Fund. I'll let someone who is more familiar with the events explain the rest.... http://www.giantitp.com/index.html#MZvsP18xmNXpVDwvCRQ "As has been reported by a few other gaming blogs and news sites, the Charity Auction at this year's GenCon Indianapolis was held to benefit Gary Gygax's favorite charity, which I will not name here for reasons that will soon become obvious. The fine folks at GenCon raised over $17,000 for this charity, which helps starving children in impoverished areas of the world--only to have that money actually turned down by the charity. The charity refused due to the fact that the money was raised partly by the sales of Dungeons and Dragons materials, which as we all know, puts an irrevocable taint of evil on the filthy lucre that us demon-worshipping gamers might want to use to, say, donate to starving children. Not only is this a slap in the face to every gamer, but it is especially insulting to Mr. Gygax himself, who I understand donated to their cause many times over the years. Plus, I'm sure the children who would have gotten food or clean drinking water with that money would be sort of upset, too. I bring this story to your attention not simply so that you might let the people at this charity know how you feel (especially if you have donated to it before, as many did in the wake of Mr. Gygax's passing), but so that you would be aware that there is an alternative charity that I would personally recommend (based on our own charitable giving) if you have a desire to donate money to help starving children. Plan USA is a worldwide charity aimed at helping those who live in poverty and/or have suffered from a natural disaster, particularly with monthly sponsorships of individual children. Since the money of D&D players is clearly not welcome at this other charity, I can't recommend Plan USA highly enough to those interested in giving anyway. At least if you choose to donate through them, there's no chance your generous gifts to the starving children of the world will be rejected due to your weekend hobby. (Incidentally, GenCon was also able to find another worthy charity with an entirely different focus, the Fisher House Foundation, that was willing to accept the money given in good faith by GenCon attendees.)" =============== Yes, Christian Children's Fund's management refused a donation, a no-strings-attached amount of money, over $17,000, because it came from "those evil roleplaying gamers." I used to think that Christian Children's Fund was a superior charity organization for giving to the needy, since it supposedly uses little of its donations for infrastructure and upkeep. However, if their management can MISmanage this badly as to turn this down, I have no confidence they are handling other matters any better.

Yes. "Just tell him, 'Something suddenly came up.'" Greg explained how Marsha should cancel a date. "His name is George. George Glass." Jan's imaginary boyfriend. "I'm not a snitcher. I just tell the truth." "Why don't we just put it off until you decide which doctor?" "At this point I'd SETTLE for a witch doctor." "Pork chops, and appleshauche. Isn't that just shwell?" Peter practicing an accent, or something. "Why should I be nervous? What makes you think I’m nervous?" "It’s the first time I ever saw you take twenty-one spoons of sugar." "I like it sweet." Mike Brady just before the wedding. "I can't take you to the dance." "Why not?" "Well, my parents are going out of town." "So what?" "I have to go with them." "I don't believe you. You just don't want to be seen with a girl who has braces, like I do now. I hate you, Alan Anthony. I hate EVERYBODY!" "Mom, Dad, my parakeet's loose! Tiger, stop scaring my parakeet!" Tiger was the name of the family dog.

No.

Thank you! I also would have accepted the artist as "Alien Ant Farm". Those of you who've seen the video of "Alien Ant Farm's cover of this song probably recognized a few of the Michael Jackson references all across the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cJB2Z_aTEQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxeNZOLNh4c Go, dooj!

Then, from a user POV, it's Internet Explorer that's the problem. Then again, that's been true for quite some time. :) One solution? http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ Personally, I like Firefox 2 a little better than Firefox 3, so the download page for Firefox 2's last build is http://www.filehippo.com/download_firefox/4690/ In either case, you will be able to download various Add-Ons that make Firefox much more useful for you. I like the security Add-Ons and some of the information ones. My Firefox is a LOT more secure than IE, and works better FOR ME, and if I need to see something in IE, I can use "IE view" to make Firefox simulate IE. The main time I use IE now is when downloading security updates to Windows.

I use Firefox with the shoutbox open, and I'm not getting any jumps. May I suggest this is a good time to consider Firefox? :) Even "IEView" (the IE simulator) didn't render this as a jumping page.

It is "Psycho." The most easily-recognizable scenes in that movie are the famous shower scene, and the closing scene. The shower scene has no dialogue. The closing scene, of "Norman Bate's mother", should be recognizable to anyone who's ever seen it. I even had someone recite the closing lines with me when I read them aloud. The first half-hour of the movie showed Janet Leigh's character- why she wanted money, how her boss handed her money to bring to the bank, and her taking the money and running. All my early quotes were from those scenes-with her feeling guilty, trading in her car for a new car, and so on, running until she stayed overnight and picked the Bates Motel to sleep in. For those wondering, both the original movie and the remake have been on television the past week, and the scripts are nearly identical. (How much money was stolen was the main change, IMHO.) All the dialogue was the same, especially the closing scene. *hands Lifted an aspirin*

http://www.greasespotcafe.com/main2/what-is-waydale.html "What is Waydale? WayDale.com was a website created by Mr. Allen, former follower and employee of The Way International. It was operational from April 1999 to November 2000. The site offered an unparalleled collection of documents and information which exposed the other side of the story about TWI. It was also a place where many Ex-Way people made contact with one another and spoke up about their experiences. Mr. Allen (known as "Ex-Twi" on WayDale) filed a lawsuit against TWI in February 2000. The case was eventually settled out of court, but the news and exposure prompted by this lawsuit made a lasting impact on people and events both in and out of TWI. WayDale's memorable run on the Internet left an indelible mark on TWI's history, and empowered the voices of many within the Ex-Way community. Our common ground is more solid as a result of the undeniable quality and professionalism of Mr. Allen's contribution. A piece of it lives on here at GreaseSpot in our WayDale Documents section. We don't try to fill Ex-Twi's shoes, but there just might be a pair of them on display back in the kitchen somewhere..."

"Uh... hold it there. In quite a hurry." "Yes. Uh... I didn't intend to sleep so long. I almost had an accident last night, from sleepiness. So I decided to pull over." "You slept here all night?" "Yes. As I said, I couldn't keep my eyes open." "There are plenty of motels in this area. You should've... I mean, just to be safe." "I didn't intend to sleep all night! I just pulled over. Have I broken any laws?" "No, ma'am." "Then I'm free to go?" "Is anything wrong?" "Of course not. Am I acting as if there's something wrong?" "Frankly, yes." "Please... I'd like to go." "Well, is there?" Is there what? I've told you there's nothing wrong, except that I'm in a hurry and you're taking up my time." "Now, just a moment! Turn off your motor, please. May I see your license?" "Why?" "Please." "I'm in no mood for trouble." "What?" "There's an old saying, 'First customer of the day is always the trouble!' But like I say, I'm in no mood for it, so I'm gonna treat you so fair and square that you won't have one human reason to give me..." "Can I trade my car in and take another?" "Do anything you've a mind to. Bein' a woman, you will. That yours?" "Yes, it's just that - there's nothing wrong with it. I just..." "Sick of the sight of it! Well, why don't you have a look around here and see if there's somethin' that strikes your eyes, and meanwhile I'll have my mechanic give yours the once over. You want some coffee? I was just about..." "No, thank you. I'm in a hurry. I just want to make a change, and..." "One thing people never oughtta be when they're buyin' used cars, and that's in a hurry. But like I said, it's too nice a day to argue. I'll uh - shoot your car in the garage here." "It's the first time the customer ever high-pressured the salesman. I figure roughly... your car plus seven hundred dollars." "Seven hundred dollars?" "You always got time to argue money, huh?" "Heck, Officer, that was the first time I ever saw the customer high-pressure the salesman! Somebody chasin' her?" "I better have a look at those papers, Charlie." "She look like the wrong-one to you?" "Acted like one." The only funny thing, she paid me seven hundred dollars in cash." "No! I tell you no! I won't have you bringing some young girl in for supper! By candlelight, I suppose, in the cheap, erotic fashion of young men with cheap, erotic minds!" "Mother, please...!" "And then what? After supper? Music? Whispers?" "Mother, she's just a stranger. She's hungry, and it's raining out!" " 'Mother, she's just a stranger'! As if men don't desire strangers! As if... ohh, I refuse to speak of disgusting things, because they disgust me! You understand, boy? Go on, go tell her she'll not be appeasing her ugly appetite with MY food... or my son! Or do I have tell her because you don't have the guts! Huh, boy? You have the guts, boy?" "Shut up! Shut up! " "She just goes a little mad sometimes. We all go a little mad sometimes. Haven't you?" "Yes. Sometimes just one time can be enough." "Now mother, I'm going to uh, bring something up..." "Haha... I am sorry, boy, but you do manage to look ludicrous when you give me orders." "Please, mother." "No! I will not hide in the fruit cellar! Ha! You think I'm fruity, huh? I'm staying right here. This is my room and no one will drag me out of it, least of all my big, bold son!" "They'll come now, mother! He came after the girl, and now someone will come after him. Please mother, it's just for a few days, just for a few days so they won't find you!" " 'Just for a few days'? In that dark, dank fruit cellar? No! You hid me there once, boy, and you'll not do it again, not ever again; now get out! I told you to get out, boy." "I'll carry you, mother." "They know I can't move a finger, and I won't. I'll just sit here and be quiet, just in case they do... suspect me. They're probably watching me. Well, let them. Let them see what kind of a person I am. I'm not even going to swat that fly. I hope they are watching... they'll see. They'll see and they'll know, and they'll say, 'Why, she wouldn't even harm a fly...' " NOW, if you regulars can't get it, you aren't trying hard enough....

"Uh... hold it there. In quite a hurry." "Yes. Uh... I didn't intend to sleep so long. I almost had an accident last night, from sleepiness. So I decided to pull over." "You slept here all night?"

I think you're hoping in vain, especially after the last quote I posted.

"Just tell him, 'Something suddenly came up.'" "His name is George. George Glass." "I'm not a snitcher. I just tell the truth." "Why don't we just put it off until you decide which doctor?" "At this point I'd SETTLE for a witch doctor."

"Uh... hold it there. In quite a hurry." "Yes. Uh... I didn't intend to sleep so long. I almost had an accident last night, from sleepiness. So I decided to pull over." "You slept here all night?"

I'd probably start with shock, then being impressed that they matured enough that I was impressed with the person they are now. I suppose after that, I'd probably seek a little closure myself. After all, I think we all did SOMETHING worth apologizing over back then- those who say they never did, probably most of all.

Ok, Rachel's shout and Chandler's "I knew it" makes this "Friends."
