New song. "Here behind the glass stands a real blade of glass. Be careful as you pass"

Fine. Since this song was mentioned on regular television and so on, I was under the impression that SOME of you had heard it. The group's name is what people remember: "the Bloodhound Gang." (After something from children's tv.) The name is what nobody remembers: "the Bad Touch." The chorus gets repeated a LOT in the song, so it's VERY recognizable.

Continuing in pg-200. pg-201. Well, aren't WE special? pg-204. Next time, we hear about B.G. Leonard. Try and keep track what Leonard supposedly is good at, and what he's lousy at. Also, vpw quotes exactly THREE sentences from Leonard. On my last reread the past few days, it occurred to me that the exact quotes are utterly fascinating. Guy teaches vpw more than 1/2 what he knows at the time concerning the Bible and so on, vpw just 'photocopies' his class and runs it as-is at first, and WHAT does he really remember Leonard saying?

And, we're up to the second snow job! pg-198. vpw was fed up with the meeting, and got ready to leave. pg-199. I added the spaces, like I do sometimes in this thread, so you don't miss anything vaguely important. Everything from "the Stiles.." on was pg-200.

pg-195. Here we go... pg-196. pg-197, Rufus Mosley prays for vpw, but no dice. "I'm full, but I can't give it to you, and I don't know why." pg-198, a bunch of guys agreed to pray for him to get tongues, so they prayed for him... Although this fits neatly with his established pattern of defying authority by hewing close to the LETTER of an instruction and mutilating its SPIRIT, this entire story strikes me as more of an afterthought, an "I WISH I'd thought of this at the time" story. If they were tuned in, they'd have known he was faking. Plus, Hebrew and Greek are not exactly unknown languages to Christians. Either way, I find this a persistent character flaw that he's bragging about...which is ANOTHER persistent character flaw....

pg-193, Amil Schaffner teaches him some stuff. Supposedly, A.S. spoke in tongues once as a child, and was told it wasn't of God. pg-194. We're almost to the part where he drops a bunch of names about the holy spirit field....

On page 187, vpw shows how to give a compliment and take it away at the same time, when he's asked whatever happened to Rosalind R. Here comes another list of names, from page 188. vpw has said he and 39 others passed the hat around and paid for Christian speakers to come visit them. Anyone know anything definite about the "Spiritual 40 Club"? pg-189. page 190, vpw repeats one of his statements, and hopes you'll connect the dots when he does. page 192, vpw exceeds "everyone"'s expectations again, thru his friendship with an anonymous woman who supposedly taught him about Church history.

Ok, fine. Just give me the ARTIST. I'll include the chorus now. "But there are several other very important differences between human beings and animals that you should know about. I'd appreciate your input." "Me and you do the kind of stuff that only Prince would sing about. So put your hands down my pants, and I'll bet you feel nuts. Yes I'm Siskel, yes I'm Ebert and you're getting two thumbs up. You've had enough of two-hand touch, you want it rough, you're out of bounds, I want you smothered, want you covered like my Waffle House hash browns." "You and me, baby ain't nothing but mammals so let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel." The band is a one-hit wonder-this is the one hit.

Hm. I don't see it now, but I'd traced it to earlier in the century, and a possible name, but I don't see it now. That the poem existed before the convict was born, I think, is beyond question. I have found it nicely ironic that someone who plagiarized a poem sits in prison-the ethics are paired up with the results, that's consistent. Plagiarists belong in jail. :)--> Lots of people who've never heard of twi have heard of this poem, but I'm not sure when that last line was ADDED. I know it was ADDED because I've SEEN it without that line, and I've seen it with a different last line ALSO added. Given that vpw's track record, I don't even think it's viable to consider him the author. Further, he always kept "his" work close to his vest. The poem has had various iterations thru the decades. He would NEVER have let it get away from him. More likely he caught one version and either added the last line, or caught it WITH that last line. If we knew where the convict got it, this would help us track it.

With the exception of the last line, this is an old poem. I did a search on it once before, let's see what I find now....

*sighs* Fine. Please do NOT consider this an endorsement of hatespeech, insults or anything else related to the song. This is the lyrics. (chorus) "Mommas, don't let your babies grow up to be homos. Don't let 'em wear earrings or carry a purse, Let 'em chase wimmin, drink whiskey and curse. Mommas, don't let your babies grow up to be homos. 'cuz they're never at home they're always in men's rooms, Lookin' for someone to love. Homos love musclebound dock-workers when they can get 'em. Retired librarians just have to do when they can't. Little warm skunks, or children, or monks, it don't make a whole lot of difference. They'll give you a wink, then they'll buy you a drink, Then they'll brush all the lint off your pants. chorus Homos are easy to find, but they're sure hard to lose. They'll pick you up slumming, and offer you candy or booze. Now roosters lay chickens, and chickens lay eggs-but homos break all of the rules. On Saturday night they come out of the closet-on Monday they teach in our schools." chorus ========= That thing's stuck in my brain for life. Along with some inoffensive songs, but still. I try not to connect the artist with it by name, since I doubt he wants any current connection with it. I imagine it's part of HIS shameful past with twi, and he'd prefer to get past HIS just as most of us have tried to get past OURS. But lcm just LOVED the song, didn't he?

Do you REALLY want the lyrics?

Actually, the song is considered funny, and the video even funnier.

pg-176, vpw continues his tale: Hm. They told him he could do anything EXCEPT ONE, and that was his immediate UNYIELDING focus, and they had the nerve to be offended that he went 180 degrees from his instructions. (ANY church where tithing is taught on for an ENTIRE MONTH looks like it's ONLY in it for the money, and NOBODY will like it.) "They said not to teach on money, so I didn't-I taught on tithing." I'll bet he felt so clever, so pleased with himself for adhering-PARTLY- to the letter while perverting the spirit of his instructions. For those wondering if they were right to give him instructions, they were the ELDERS-the experienced local leaders, and he was the guy who JUST arrived and was young and lacking in experience. Unless he had a compelling reason beyond tweaking their noses, he should have considered their counsel wise and followed it. Convenient coincidence that what served God just happened to be the easy path for him. pg-177, he meets Rosalind Rinker in Indiana. (page-178, since "Nothing cataclysmic...") Watch this next quote from pg-179. pg-180. pg-181. pg-185-186. vpw is continuing his tour.

pg-173, more of vpw's life... Yet another thing vpw supposedly excelled at, which we NEVER saw any evidence of. We know he was obsessed with music-his ministries all seemed to circle around it-until he got ahold of Leonard's work. pg-174. Harry thinks you were preaching to the trees when you went off for hours and neglected your chores. Since you had no plans to go into the ministry at the time, it's obvious you weren't preaching... Being a medical doctor or a lawyer is a LOT of work, and has MUCH professional oversight. Just a thought. For someone who can't remember the past, he sure could recall a lot of names, almost as if he wants to name-drop. Further, as someone found out, Moody has no record of vpw completing ANY of its classes, which is the indicator someone completed a class. Sounds like his claim of taking "all" their classes is just hot air. We'll see more of his life soon. He's not very organized.

Ok, everyone playing the vpw drinking game, take one drink whenever he says something is the best in the world. Where did we leave off? Oh, yeah, page 154. vpw was talking about people. pg-155. Um, that didn't answer his question.... Anyone who can untangle this sentence of vpw from pg-170, please do so.. So he remembers it forever until he's done with it, then he forgets it. page 171-172, vpw shares an early childhood memory.

I agree, furthermore, having finished this book, I have the distinct impression that vpw made so many inflated claims about himself that, eventually, he bought into his own press releases, and considered it inconceivable that his name wouldn't continue to cause people to cower in a prostrate manner in perpetuity. If that was completely true, there would be no worries about Mrs W. As it was, it's still partially true-there are still vpw worshippers around the world.

Yes. The second quote is in all versions of the song. The first quote doesn't necessarily get airplay, but will remind you of the parts you HAVE heard. To be specific, I think I have this version at home.

If intellectual honesty, moral character, and truth mattered to you, this would be more than enough of an answer. http://www.greasespotcafe.com/editorial/pl...m-wierwille.htm

Seems, once again, we have someone who's arrived at the GSC with the express purpose of recruiting members for his organization. In this case, he's refrained from actually TELLING us that's what he's doing, which is LESS honest than the previous guys who just walked in and posted an ad. Apparently, that's why it's so important that we all wear special nametags saying "I'm a Christian" or "I'm not a Christian"- so he knows who to approach, and who to make fun of. How do you, as posters, feel about people secretly trying to use the GSC as a recruiting center?

No, you're here to recruit for your organization. So much for "honesty". Plus, this is not the DOCTRINAL forum, where we discuss DOCTRINE. They can approach them FAIRLY and without ATTACK. They have done so. You have not demonstrated a similar ability-not even about other Christians in other Christian organization. Therefore, you are more "biased" than them. Chihuahua, Mexico? Your posts, to date, have been more demeaning, on a whole, than almost anyone else's here. The sheer HYPOCRISY of you calling OTHERS demeaning would be overwhelming, if you still had a conscience.

"What Would You Say" is by the Dave Matthews Band, but it's the wrong decade. Therefore, you want "Oh Babe What Would You Say" written by E.S. Smith, originally performed by Hurricane Smith. The year is 1972.

It's probably the thread titled "Banjo and Mandolin." Click "Advanced search" then type in the words "banjo mandolin guitar bluegrass". You'll get 3 hits. It's not "the Worst Way Song", so it's probably either "Banjo and Mandolin" or "Do you play any musical instruments?" "Banjo and Mandolin" looked like it had lots of links.

Ann Rule book, eh? *googles the name Ann Rule and clicks on her official website* "The I-5 Killer". http://www.annrules.com/prod14.htm ISBN 0-451-16559-4 (Paperback) Signet. "The true case of a handsome, athletic hero who turned out to be someone else entirely. Locale: Oregon, Washington." Amazon.com said "As a young man, Randall Woodfield had it all...." "...As the list of the dead grew, the police mobilized to stop a twisted killer who had 44 known deaths to his name."
