Someone who knows this MIGHT check in... "O you're a vampire and baby I'm walking dead. O you're a vampire and baby I'm walking dead." "I got the ways and means to New Orleans. I'm going down by the river where its warm and green. I'm gonna have a drink, and walk around, I got a lot to think about. Oh, yeah..." "They used to dance in the garden in the middle of the night. They used to dance in the garden in the middle of the night. They were naked as the day they were born, skin all bone-china white. O, you're a vampire, and I may never see the light." ========= Ok, I'm not going to hold up the thread. This is Concrete Blonde's song, "Bloodletting (the vampire song)". Next song coming up.

No, and the lyrics on that one are VERY distinctive. "Holy Moses met the Pharaoh,Yeah, he tried to set him straight Looked him in the eye, "Let my people go!" Holy Moses on the mountain,High above the golden calf Went to get the Ten Commandments. Yeah, he's just gonna break them in half! All you zombies hide your faces, All you people in the street. All you sitting in high places, The pieces gonna fall on you. No one ever spoke to Noah, They all laughed at him instead. Working on his ark,Working all by himself. Only Noah saw it coming, Forty days and forty nights. Took his sons and daughters with him. Yeah, they were the Israelites All you zombies hide your faces All you people in the street All you sittin' in high places The rain's gonna fall on you Holy Father, what's the matter Where have all your children gone Sitting in the dark Living all by themselves You don't have to hide any more All you zombies show your faces... All you people in the street. All you sitting in high places. The pieces gonna fall on you. All you zombies show your faces, (I know you're out there) All you people in the street. (Let's see you) All you sittin' in high places, It's all gonna fall on you. Very different song.

They have different NEEDS. We know that because that's what he GOT, and if the "LAW" of Believing is really a "LAW", then he could ONLY have gotten them by operating it.

"Everyone feeds on death, even vegetarians." "Computer – this is a Class A Priority Directive: Compute, to the last digit, the value of pi." "This is the first time I've heard a malfunction threaten us." "Scotty – here, they use the lights." "Now, no one has to tell an old Aberdeen pub crawler how to applaud, captain!" "Die! Die! Die! Ha,ha! Everybody die!" "Well, Mr. Spock for the next five or six hours we're going to have the happiest crew in space... of course, we won't get much work done."

Seems doubly-true at the GSC, for that matter. "If you meet the mog in the road, kill him!" (Based on the old saying, "If you meet the Buddha in the road, kill him") [One of the good things was when we actually HAD FUN. Removing the fun from things is STUPID. Those who think twi is better without the fun, but with the "retemories" are invited to go back in. Hey, they currently have "retemories" but no fun-that should be perfect...)]

[WordWolf again.] Nicely put.

I was just about to wish you a happy 29th!

"Everyone feeds on death, even vegetarians." "Computer – this is a Class A Priority Directive: Compute, to the last digit, the value of pi."

How can you tell? Well, if you don't know, it's easy. You google the name in quotes, and "imdb" in quotes. Then you look up its imdb listing. (Internet movie database.) If it's a regular movie, its name will be written normally. If it was direct-to-video, like, say, that recent Doctor Strange movie, it will have "(V)" written after it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0910865/ And if it was a video-game only, the parentheses will have "(VG)" instead. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0395274/ If there's still any question, look up its wikipedia entry. Even if it's only a "stub", it should include its release year and whether it was a theater release or whatever. Please note direct-to-video's excluded more out of obscurity, since distribution's limited on those. We may not have even HEARD of the movie...

I hope this one isn't TOO tough for this crowd... "I got the ways and means to New Orleans. I'm going down by the river where its warm and green. I'm gonna have a drink, and walk around, I got a lot to think about. Oh, yeah..." "They used to dance in the garden in the middle of the night. They used to dance in the garden in the middle of the night. They were naked as the day they were born, skin all bone-china white. O, you're a vampire, and I may never see the light."

I'm confident enough to go ahead and post the next one. This is more recent than most of the songs posted, so it's unusually difficult for a lot of the people here. But, I'll give it a shot. Besides, I have the guitar riff for this one stuck in my head, now. "I got the ways and means to New Orleans. I'm going down by the river where its warm and green. I'm gonna have a drink, and walk around, I got a lot to think about. Oh, yeah..."

Gee, vpw used a term with a sexual connotation for something he was doing that supposedly had nothing to do with sex. What a coincidence. It seems to me that what the corps was billed as depended heavily upon what was calculated as being the approach to interest you, with the actual content being incidental, if that. Are you more an academic? Then the corps is a place to study directly on-grounds, and learn more than is covered locally, with in-depth Greek study and classes that don't leave the grounds. Are you more a hands-on person? Then the corps is the place to learn practical application of Biblical principles, for use in everyday life. Are you more a conspiracy theorist? Then the corps is a place to learn the secrets behind the news, and what's going to happen in the US soon. Are you excited about being in twi? Then the corps is a place to learn to perform feats unattainable by the rest of the world. Are you devoted to the idea that vpw has received the greatest understanding of Scripture in 2000 years? Then the corps is a place to learn at the feet of the master. In each case, what you GOT was exactly the same- but the goal was to get you to sign up and pay your tuition more than realistically prepare you for what would be covered-which didn't approach ANY of those sales pitches (except small parts of the first 2.) Reminds me of those old commercials, supposedly of some Iron Curtain country, where the "model" comes out in "different" outfits, which are the same outfits with the announcer giving them different names ("day-vear!" "Evening-vear!")

In wayworld, disagreement never exists, and history gets rewritten to arrange this. Old story.

You committed an assault on your local moglet, and the entire thing was just dropped, of course. Man, if I had a nickel for every time I broke a chair over the head of a moglet, I could drown in them.... <_<

This is the End of the Innocence, title cut for the Don Henley album of the same name. (I liked it, but liked the previous album more.) I don't know the connection, but if I were to guess, I'd say Bruce Hornsby was somehow connected with Poco, since he contributed the melody for this song. (If you compare the melody for "Valley Road" and "End of the Innocence" in your head, you'll see the connection.) And in all fairness, it was Raf, long ago, who told me Hornsby contributed it.

I keep misremembering Keanu's dialogue as including him saying "Whoa" in the movie, even though they didn't go THAT far-including him was enough of a shock. Anthony Hopkins as Van Helsing stole all his scenes, IMHO. He played a blase scientist, jaded to the horrors of what he dealt with, to the hilt. The quintessential scene he did, for me, was when he was eating dinner. I included the quote above. He's eating a very rare steak, which is bloody as he's eating, and he casually discusses Lucy's end while eating. Eventually, Winona Ryder's character runs from the table and throws up in reaction. As for the current movie, I'm hoping some new faces wander in. I'm really not that strong on most movies- rather, the ones I've seen, I tend to remember fairly well.

It's been done before, but I don't know if it was more than once.

"Everyone feeds on death, even vegetarians." "Computer – this is a Class A Priority Directive: Compute, to the last digit, the value of pi."

Wasn't all this supposed to be a BIBLE program, how to apply the Bible and apply Christian principles?

Thank you, but unless they're on CD, I still have the cassette.

Matthew 5:29-30 (NASB) "29"If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30"If your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to go into hell." Here Jesus warned them-and us- of the dangers and severity of sin. Jesus warned us that-if something is an occasion to sin for us, makes it likely we will sin- we should GET RID OF IT, we should REMOVE IT FROM OUR LIVES. If drinking leads to poor judgement, which leads to sin in a person's life (like drinking and having one-night stands and anonymous sex), then the person is to STOP DRINKING and avoid sin. If going to a certain building leads to a person sinning, they are to AVOID THE BUILDING and avoid sin. What's the opposite of this? Instead of taking steps to avoid sin, that would be taking steps to make sin EASIER, to FACILITATE sin. For example, setting up a specific location to sin (like an office or motorcoach), furnishing such a location for sinning (like, say, with alcohol or drugs), and so on. Much of sin-especially the sin that hurts others- is based around steps of sin where one makes decisions one after another, each leading to the sin. If one quotes George Carlin, it becomes easier to see steps and decision points. Speaking of his Catholic upbringing, and its view of sin to him as a youth, "It was a sin to WANT to feel up Ellen, it was a sin to PLAN to feel up Ellen, it was a sin to figure out a PLACE to feel up Ellen, it was a sin to TAKE Ellen to the place to feel her up, it was a sin to TRY to feel her up, and it was a sin to feel her up. There were six sins in one feel, man!" Some will miss the point, likely, and consider this just another excuse to hate the Catholic Church. The point, however, is that each decision, and each action, led up to the sin. At any point, that sinner could have stopped before the sin was committed. Similarly, an adulterer- or an adulterer who teaches his students that having sex with him isn't wrong- has MANY decision points before the actual sin takes place- but he chooses to embrace the sin anyway. On the other hand, Jesus would tell him to discard any item, any location, any action, that leads to sin. It's not so hard at some of the smaller steps. "Sin no more." Ok, how? Start by eliminating plans to sin, and continue by making plans for alternatives, then carrying them out. Oh, and thanks for highlighting Matthew, those verses were worth discussing!

Technically, I posted SOME of them-about a page's worth. I probably left out a lot. Probably hadn't read it all yet, anyway. They probably wanted to start with the link, then didn't think to scroll down and see if we'd discussed how it died later.

I think of it more as Anthony Hopkins as Van Helsing, featuring Gary Oldman as Dracula, and so on. But yes, that's this one. I figured posting my 3 favourite quotes would make it obvious. Since you narrowed it down to Dracula, I didn't have to make the quote the one about the children of the night. Your turn, George!

It worked when she posted it, but apparently, when it got traffic coming from THIS site, they deleted it. That's why I revived some of the data and posted it directly further down the page. That's what Belle thanked me for posting.
