As always, I listened to it. Actually, this is the first year I listened to the original, AND listened to the updated one from 20 years later, which is downloadable for free on Arlo's website, http://www.arlo.net from http://www.arlo.net/massacree/ I think the MP3 version may be down, but the Real downloaded just fine. (Part 2 is the actual "Alice's Restaurant" redo for the 20th Anniversary.) There's also a tribute page to Officer Obie. :)

When it came to vpw and people with more skill than him, THERE WERE no skilled people out there who were good and weren't possessed! There always had to be SOMETHING that invalidated them, and if it had to be made up, so be it...

Here's the breakdowns... "Know what happens when you give a politician Viagra?" "No." "He gets taller." "Guy come out of an antique shop carrying a big grandfather's clock. Bumped into this drunk, broke the clock. Guy said, 'Why don't you watch where you're going.' The drunk says, 'Why don't you carry a wristwatch like everybody else.' First scene we meet Uncle Jesse, who sometimes tells jokes. Uncle Jesse's played by Willie Nelson. "Stop that! Why are doin' that?" "What I'm about to do, I don't want to remember a lot of it." Luke Duke and Uncle Jesse towards the end- Uncle Jesse takes a huge swig of moonshine before doing something... "Hey Man, don't hit him! That's AJ Foyt!" "Really?" "The Fourth!" Barfight at the beginning, with some professional racing types in the area. "Do you know how fast you were going?" "What?" "How fast you were going." "Ten?" "Eight." "Isn't the speed limit ten?" "Yeah. It is." "Are you police?" "CAMPUS police." The clueless campus police at the University of Georgia. "That road better be closed up tighter than a tick's @$$!" Boss Hogg about his roadblock, after the race. "Are you really Japanese?" "Dammit, we are high-powered Japanese executives. We work hard and we play even harder. Now tell us what you see there or we'll find ourselves another candidate over at Georgia Polytech." Bo and Luke, posing successfully as 2 Japanese scientists at the University during an open house. "I don't know about you, but I'd SURE hate to be that safe right now..." "The Balladeer", when the Dukes realize Boss Hogg's big mystery's answer has to be in his safe... "Hmm, must be a wet fuse." "Maybe its backwards." "Of course its supposed to be backwards-it's a CHINESE fuse." "No, I mean its backwards from the way it's supposed to be." "Have you ever been to China? Have you ever been to China?" " I ate Chinese food once." "Yea, well you don't blow up Mu Shu Pork my friend." "I dated a Korean girl in high school." "That is an entirely different Oriental nation. Get an education!" "You’re the one who got the fuse wrong!" "You don't know nothing about Chino-Sino-American relations." Bo Luke and "Sheev", their friend who "makes bait and blows sh* up, on getting the safe open, using his specialty. No, not fishing bait... "They planted a still on our farm." "They PLANTED a still? Why would they have to PLANT a still?" "'Cause they're too d* dumb to find our real still." Daisy, about Hogg and Roscoe planting a still on the farm. "Man, I'm never gonna get out of this car again! I'm gonna live in it, I'm gonna eat in it, and I'm gonna make sweet love to it!" "You mean you're gonna make sweet love IN it." "Oh no, I'm gonna have sex with it." Bo and Luke. Bo's really attached to the car. "Whoo, P! If you pop a feather in that hat maybe your man-hoe's would show you a little bit more respect, huzzah!" "I have $100 here for whoever knocks that loudmouth sumb* out." Boss Hogg visiting the jail, in his trademarked white suit. (Played by Burt Reynolds.) One inmate keeps making fun of the suit. "Don't you know you're not supposed to wear white after Labor Day?" The inmate he handed over the $100 to, just before Boss Hogg leaves earshot. There's a GREAT pause by Reynolds before he keeps going on-it looks like it says a lot... "I make helmets out of em. An armadillo shell is one of the only helmets that will block brain waves. Also make a pretty good soup bowl." Sheev's a conspiracy theorist. And a weirdo.

Correct! Except there's a second "z" in "Hazzard. :) I think we have low reading rates right now due to the holidays...

Correct! And I'm surprised it seems so easy to both of you! Nice to have you answer one, Mrs !, and congratulations on the upcoming punctuation.... :) Of course, it's your turn to provide a quote from an episode.

"Take me home to my captain. Take me home to Endar!" "That's not uncommon. It was identified centuries ago as the 'Stockholm syndrome.' "

lcm himself stated (in "vp and me") that the sole criterion he was given as to whether or not he would be able to stay in the corps was, in vpw's own words, "YOU CAN STAY AS LONG AS YOUR MONEY HOLDS!" That should tell people something. Someone here once posted that a wow assignment they were aware of WAS determined at the toss of a coin-and the coin-tosser claimed that's how they normally did it. There was some question as to whether or not they were kidding about that being how they NORMALLY did it, but that time it was done by coin-toss.

I'll go a step farther. vpw had a conventional education-high school, college, grad school- but no experience even PARTICIPATING in any kind of training program. With no experience in the development of one, the running of one, or even the participating IN one, he was totally clueless in what was needed. THAT's the man that threw this program together on the fly, and didn't bring anyone on board who did.

Ah! "Yankee traders." That was from the LOUSY diplomatic skills Picard suddenly DIDN'T have when the Enterprise first encountered the Ferengi. (Hm. For a skilled diplomat, he didn't know the most basic information about an advanced race he might encounter, and for a ship's captain, he was a total stranger to the capital ship called the Ferengi Marauder. Whoops!) The Ferengi, according to Data, said the Ferengi were like Yankee Traders, and operated on the principal of "let the buyer beware." (Caveat emptor.) IIRC, this was the episode that they found "THE LAST OUTPOST" of the Tkon Empire. And the only appearance of the Ferengi energy whips- after which, the Ferengi switched to more practical disruptors like the Klingons and Romulans. (Funny how the Cardassians used phasers like the Federation...)

No....

You should check every few minutes, since there will be some requests for instructions. You'll temporarily download the widget for the antivirus, select a few options, then finish a download or something, then you'll run the program. Once it finds something, it will give you options of what to do with it, and if you want it to do that with anything else it finds. THEN you can leave it alone until it's done. Depending on the speed of your connection (the first 1/2), and the speed of your pc and how much stuff is in there (the 2nd 1/2), this can take up to about 2 hours, or a lot less, depending.

Larry, do you have a little program-widget that keeps reposting the same cut-and-paste every day or so? Actually, this is not "John Lynn's response", since for this to be "John Lynn's response", it would have to be IN RESPONSE to Don's post in some way, which means it would have to have taken place AFTER Don's post. (Unless he claims personal prophecy showed him Don's post and he posted the "response" before the original post, but I've yet to see him claim this. I don't know if he is, but if he is, I haven't seen it.)

I'll give it a shot, to the limits of my limited knowledge. I'm presuming that you mean that your firewall's reporting that a program ON your computer, called QaZ, is trying to "dial out", and not that your firewall is reporting that a program hosted elsewhere, called QaZ, is trying to "dial in" to your computer. Speak up if it's the latter. As to nasty viruses, if your antivirus (for example, Norton) is not up to cleaning it out, time to use something stronger. :) Go to http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ and spend 2 hours (or less) using the online antivirus to clean out your pc. Let me know if that doesn't do it- if not, you may need to do something with your pc's registry and so on. But let's try the painless methods first... (Oh, and I never heard "Norton's a great antivirus", but I'd make sure my antivirus was completely up to date...)

"'Where is God? God is everywhere. Why? Because He likes you.' A mix of the Vatican and Disney.' "- "Father Guido Sarducci", comedian. As I see it (and we've discussed this before), all of reality (space-but now we're discussing TIME) is finite, God is not. So, my personal opinion is that reality (space AND time) exist WITHIN God, as a subset, but not literally as "a part of God", within just as a penny dropped into a bathtub is IN the water, but not water itself. I'm not going to get into the Flatland model again. :)

I could swear I've heard the one about paperwork and the date, but this is no television show I'm familiar with- the other quotes all seem foreign to me. Maybe I've heard that line on a commercial.

Is this the ST:TNG episode where they discover these crystals and find out they're this lifeform that needs light to survive or something?

As it is written, it is TECHNICALLY true, but written DECEPTIVELY, so that the most casual reader will draw an INCORRECT conclusion. vpw did not study at Princeton University. vpw got his Masters at Princeton Theological Seminary. They are both located at Princeton, NJ, and are not connected with each other in any significant way-other than location and name. That having been said, Princeton Theological Seminary is a respectable school of learning, and is worth placing on a list of accomplishments. It's no "Pikes Peak", certainly. I forget which GSC'er has also attended it, but you can find it with a search. The way it's written, one might think vpw studied at Princeton Theological Seminary, then went on to earn a Masters at Princeton University. lcm used to make a point of making it sound like vpw studied at Princeton University, by calling PTS "Princeton". When I get some time, I'm going to have some fun and address the page's claims.

No. AFAIK, we have not done THIS movie yet. "Know what happens when you give a politician Viagra?" "No." "He gets taller." "Guy come out of an antique shop carrying a big grandfather's clock. Bumped into this drunk, broke the clock. Guy said, 'Why don't you watch where you're going.' The drunk says, 'Why don't you carry a wristwatch like everybody else.'

The tracker was a great guy-until vpw had to share the spotlight with him, then there was trouble....

Everybody's in a hurry. Ok, next one... "Know what happens when you give a politician Viagra?" "No." "He gets taller."

We know it's "Star Trek:TNG", but I don't have the episode.

It's "Star Trek III:the Search for Spock", isn't it?
