Reminds me of somebody I knew in high school. He was excellent in Math- but he'd bought into the idea that he was excellent at EVERYTHING. So, instead of relying on his math skills, he applied to Harvard on a Pre-Med track, and immediately began walking around the school in a Harvard sweatshirt. He did NOT get in. In other news, I don't know this movie. Any chance it's "GOOD WILL HUNTING???"

An interesting point about vpw talking about power was that vpw usually ripped off other people's stories, other people's accounts of things happening, or he just made some up to support some point (his sole training was in HOMILETICS, or making stuff up.) So, we got accounts of him healing lots of people where there were no witnesses and no proof very far away.... and when he couldn't produce even a FEW of those locally with twi'ers, it was THEIR FAULT he couldn't do it because the people in India believed to get healed and the people in the US didn't. So, vpw heals some imaginary people- or pretends he healed some real people, depending- and then when it doesn't happen here, he blames the people trying to get the deliverance. Things were never vpw's fault, to hear vpw say it. Other times, he copied anecdotes from real Christians- which wasn't as common because he would lack details. But their accounts helped him fill in the details of the fictional accounts he allegedly performed. If there is a Real God, this is NOT how He works, nor would He rely on con-men and hoaxsters to get the job done. But you've heard He did- that's right, the con man insisted God Almighty worked through him and he was doing what God Almighty wanted. Looking back, do you still buy that one?

I think you've got a good point there. If we're posting just to vent and make ourselves feel better, that looks different than if we're posting to make a point worth making, and maybe making a difference for someone who needs a little help but doesn't want to ask a complete stranger (or doesn't know how to- after twi, either is likely.)

-Most of the principal cast went on to do smaller things. 1 has done plays, another has done a one-man show, but another became VERY famous. -One character's last name supposedly translates to "the cattle are dying." -All of the characters were of course fictional, but four of them were notably inspired by real-life people, whose names were partially used for the characters (a first name or a last name.) -In the show's final season, we see little of the show's main heartthrob (another is introduced) and even less of the title character (although he didn't disappear entirely.) -If you like really, really old jokes, this show might be for you. On the other hand, if you've never heard all of the really, really old jokes yet, this show might be for you also, since they're new to you. (The Mrs quite liked that about watching this show.) -This show was never shot on-location, so all its scenes were filmed on sets, which explains why they all seemed to happen in about 3-4 places per season (like this character's home, that character's home, this one's office, that one's work area, one spot outdoors, a hallway.) That having been said, anyone watching all of any episode should have a general idea of where the show was set.

One last shot. " Invisible airwaves crackle with life Bright antennae bristle with the energy. Emotional feedback on timeless wavelength Bearing a gift beyond price, almost free."

It's always seemed so to me.

It was "Scrooged."

Let's go down to the Sunset Grill. We can watch the working girls go by. Watch the "basket people" walk around and mumble And stare out at the auburn sky. There's an old man there from the Old World To him, it's all the same. Calls all his customers by name Down at the Sunset Grill Down at the Sunset Grill Down at the Sunset Grill Down at the Sunset Grill You see a lot more meanness in the city- It's the kind that eats you up inside. Hard to come away with anything that feels like dignity Hard to get home with any pride. These days a man makes you somethin' And you never see his face. But there is no hiding place Down at the Sunset Grill Down at the Sunset Grill Down at the Sunset Grill Down at the Sunset Grill Respectable little murders pay. They get more respectable every day. Don't worry girl, I'm gonna stick by you And someday soon we're gonna get in that car and get outta here. Let's go down to the Sunset Grill. Watch the working girls go by. Watch the "basket people" walk around and mumble And gaze out at the auburn sky. Maybe we'll leave come springtime Meanwhile, have another beer. What would we do without all these jerks anyway? Besides, all our friends are here. Down at the Sunset Grill Down at the Sunset Grill Down at the Sunset Grill Down at the Sunset Grill =============================== That's Don Henley's "Sunset Grill", off "Building the Perfect Beast."

"I'm gonna give you a little advice Claire: 'Scrape 'em off. You wanna save somebody? Save yourself.' " "I'm alive! Yes! I'm ALIVE!" *click*"Not for long." "I can't get the antlers glued to this little guy. We tried Crazy Glue, but it don't work." "Did you try staples?" "Seven o'clock. Psychos seize Santa's workshop and only Lee Majors can stop them."

"Begin the day with a friendly voice, a companion unobtrusive. Plays that song that's so elusive as the magic music makes your morning move."

That's him. He's done Shakespeare, and other stuff as well.

You guys doing that on purpose? Hector Jimenez Epic Movie Crispin Glover

Jackie Robinson?????

Next show. This one's a classic. -Most of the principal cast went on to do smaller things. 1 has done plays, another has done a one-man show, but another became VERY famous. -One character's last name supposedly translates to "the cattle are dying."

That was in the 80s. Pretty late to have something go straight to the afternoons for the very first time. Then again, history's strange that way, sometimes.

"Begin the day with a friendly voice, a companion unobtrusive"

"Hello Goodbye", the Beatles. (It shocks me how much my family's listened to the Beatles when all of us are too young for the British Invasion.)

Can we get a different quote from a different movie? It's obvious this one isn't that easy for this crowd.

That about said it. He took a vibrant, vital, genuine movement among God's people and diverted it into a less-vital cash cow for his pocket. In that respect, vpw was the first "Stump" Coordinator- someone who starts with an active group and micromanages it to pieces. I'm not sure what would have happened, but the imact of the Jesus People movement was somewhat blunted by vpw subverting some of its people to shill classes. His biggest impact on history-and Christianity- was to IMPEDE it.

Who's directly under Billy the Kid, with the bear in the image next to him?

How about "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe?"

*checks* Apparently, it is "Brand New Key."
