  1. Ok, I recognize that last one. "Doctor Strangelove. Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Bomb."
  2. New Song: "So They Came Into The Outway It Was Sunday-What A Black Day Mouth to mouth resuscitation Sounding heartbeats Intimidations"
  3. I think you could post the entire script, and us non-Voyager watchers wouldn't get it...
  4. Ok. That was Edwyn Collins' "A Girl Like You." It's one of the few pop songs to feature a vibraphone. It was on the soundtrack of "Empire Records" and appeared in "Charles Angels: Full Throttle". It charted in 3 categories on "Billboard": U.S. Billboard Hot 100: 32 U.S. Billboard Modern Rock Tracks: 7 U.S. Billboard Top 40 Mainstream: 32
  5. We haven't heard what he's been like the last few years. Before that, he seemed to be clear that he was set up in some way, but seemed unaware that he'd done anything that was worthy of blame. When he was working as a personal trainer, he was as bombastic and self-promoting as ever. After that, he seemed a bit more like he was in "the fog years." That having been said, nothing we know of makes it impossible for him to have mended his ways. He may well now be aware that he was taught by a con artist, was "educated" to hurt people and pretend he had all the answers, and then did so, and that he left hurt and dead people behind him. I don't think it is LIKELY, but he could easily have "beaten the odds" and mended his sense of right and wrong.
  6. "Now just like in a song from days of yore Here you come a-knocking, knocking on my door" "You give me just a taste so I want more. Now my hands are bleeding and my knees are raw 'cause now you've got me crawling, crawling on the floor." "You've made me acknowledge the devil in me. I hope to God I'm talking metaphorically. I hope that I'm talking allegorically. Know that I'm talking about the way I feel" "This old town's changed so much, don't feel that I belong. Too many protest singers, not enough protest songs. And now YOU'VE come along. Yes, YOU'VE come along.

  8. You didn't say so, so I had to mention the most obvious step. Sounds like it. Start-All Programs-Accessories-System Tools-System Restore. It's self-explanatory from there. ("Restore my computer to an earlier time." Then select the date to Restore from, from the displayed calendar. Then let the pc Restart with the older settings. (You'll want the most recent date where the program was still working fine.) I'd consider RumRunner's suggestion, then. :)
  9. Have you tried restarting the pc? If that doesn't do it, I'd consider using a System Restore (if you have one for the past few days.) Worse comes to worst, you can use the GIMP and forget about another Microsoft program.
  10. I think this summed it up. I was going to say "You were in a cult, but the cult was not in you."
  11. "'Character' is what you are when no one is looking."
  12. http://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/index.ph...=0&p=140229 " In 1981, Wierwille obtained an invitation to one of the events of Ronald Reagan's inauguration, and word filtered down through the ministry that Wierwille had access to the president himself. Word had it that Reagan was a "believer", and since the word was used exclusively of Way members, some took this to mean that Reagan was catually a follower of The Way. As evidence, the proponents of this theory would say "Have you ever seen Ronald Reagan going to church?" In a Jan. 1981 newsletter to Ohio believers, state leader Bob Mirabito wrote: "Dr. Wierwille has personally been invited by President-Elect Ronald Reagan to the Inauguration Ball this January 20th. It is not one of the sattelite balls. There will be only 1,000 people in attendance". A spokesman for Reagan's Inaugural Committee, speaking to the Empria Gazette, scoffed at rports that Reagan had personally invited Wierwille to anything. "He would not have been invited by President Reagan and ended up in the same computer lists as the 175,000 others" said committee spokesman Bob Billings. Billings said that there was no ball with only 1,000 people, and that with roughly 43,000 people attending about nine balls, the average attendance was closer to 5,000. Noting that invitations were handed out on request, Billings also said his office had extended an ivitation to a man who identified himself as "King of the Gypsies", and claimed to represent a union of practicing Gypsies. On Feb. 9, 1981, Kansas Senator Bob Dole, future Republican presidential nominee, wrote in answer to an inquiry from Herb Diamond: "I realize that there has been a great deal of concern about the participation of Victor Paul Wierwille, leader of THe WAy, in the recent Inaugural activities. I want to assure you that Mr. Wierwille's presence was as a private citizen and not an official guest. It seems that the invitation to Mr. Wierwille came as a result of a routine phone request to a congressional office that a V.P. Wierwille attend an Inaugural event. Whoever took the phone message did not recognize the name, and so it was passed on along with other such requests..His presence in Washington in no way represents any kind of official recognition of him or his organization by the Administration. quoted from The Cult That Snapped by Karl Kahler, p 124-125"
  13. ==================== Ok, different song, different artist. "You give me just a taste so I want more and more. Now my hands are bleeding and my knees are raw. Now you've got me crawling, crawling on the floor."
  14. Man, this band can't get any love on this thread lately. This is Queen's "Princes of the Universe." (It was a single, had a video, and was the theme song of the Highlander movies and television.) The official video features Christopher Lambert from the movie. (He's there with the band- he and Freddie Mercury cross swords.)
  15. Hm. I think I just added another important piece to my understanding of the post-Apocalypse timeframe.
  16. I'll go a step further, and ask a question. Which is MORE evil- to serve your belly and worship yourself, and tell everyone "I worship myself! Worship alongside me!" or to serve your belly and worship yourself, and tell everyone "I worship YHWH and serve the Lord Jesus Christ! I will teach you to worship YHWH and serve Jesus Christ!" Evil is not a matter of twirled mustachioes, top hats and black opera capes, tying women to railroad tracks. One may smile, and smile, and be a villain.
  17. "Here we are, born to be kings" "Here we belong, fighting to survive In a world with the darkest powers." "Here we belong, fighting for survival- We've got to be the rulers of your world." "I am immortal. I have inside me blood of kings. I have no rival. No man can be my equal. Take me to the future of new earth!" "Fighting and free, got your world in my hand. I'm here for your love and I'll make my stand." "No man could understand-my power is in my own hand!" "People say you've had your day. I'm a man that will go far Fly the moon and reach for the stars. With my sword and head held high Got to pass the test first time, yeah. I know that people talk about me- I hear it every day, But I can prove them wrong 'cause I'm right first time."

  21. The Beatles, "A Day in the Life."
  22. Got it in one! "Nice dress." "Thank you. I saw it in a window, and I just couldn't resist it." Carol Burnett's famous spoof of "Gone With The Wind"- with a dress made from curtains- including the curtainrods! "He hates but one man: the man who stole his shoes." "That's because there is no air in the windmills of your mind." Their spoof of Kung Fu- "Young Fool." "He swallowed a live hand grenade. He has no internal organs." "What's your favorite ice cream flavor?" "Buffalo Ripple." The Queen of England, and that soldier they were going to name the battleship after.

  24. When I read the latest set, I'm hearing them in the voices from "King of the Hill."
  25. True. Nice article. It's got a few details wrong, but for an outsider, it was pretty good. I notice someone got to him with the inflated numbers, too. The highest # twi ever claimed was 100,000, which was the number of people who ever signed up for pfal. As we all know, that's not the same as "the number of people who stayed around for at least 3 months after pfal" or even "the number of people who finished pfal", let alone "the number of people who attended Session 1." When I took it, 8 people signed up (thus, all 8 count towards that total), 7 showed up for Session 12, and 3 of us finished the class, although all 3 of us did stay around. The 100,000 number was an inflation. Someone somehow started floating an even bigger #, which this guy heard.
