  2. That's the word. Would have liked the artist as well, but I can live without it.
  3. I'm fairly certain Alex Haley and the Meteoroids did this one....
  4. I kinda thought the last one was a giveaway, but obviously not. "Ooh- give me a chance, give me a sign. I'll show her anytime." "I feel so good if I just say the word." "Now I know that I'm too young, my life has just begun." "Ah, I've just got to have her, have her now. I've got to get closer but I don't know how. She makes me nervous and makes me scared. I feel so good if I just say the word."

  6. Once I thought I'd connected the Amigos to their names, I thought this was Steve M. (Martin Short was Ned Nederlander, and Chevy Chase was Dusty Bottoms.)

  8. Some people will not be able to see clearly no matter what, and won't even know there's a problem, for psychiatric reasons. 

    If you encounter someone like that, try not to take it personally if they vent on you.

      I will do my best, but we can help educate people. Yes, people can have religious psychiatric problems and not learn from other truthful people. Then the best way to do it is perhaps only hint at it. 

      Thank you my friend. Are you still in Noo Yawk? Or in a different city or area? When I pronounce New York as Noo Yawk, maybe that says I sometimes have an English accent that I think originated in England.

      I'd rather not post publicly where I live now.  But I moved since last we met.

  9. Oh, you're going to LOVE the explanation for the broken mints...... vpw had standing instructions to have mints at the podium for when he showed up. (He did NOT explain it was to cover the booze on his breath, which would have helped understanding.....) At one point, vpw mentioned in passing that he broke the mints. So, naturally, an instruction went around IMMEDIATELY- always break the mints FOR vpw before he gets there....eventually going to "break them in 3 pieces." So, vpw started showing up to the podium, intending to put an intact mint in his mouth, and crack it open to use the interior to hide the booze on his breath with the stronger interior. One day, he got there, and the mints were all cut up. So, he went with it. That kept happening. After a few weeks, and after that became a long-standing tradition to break the mints in 3 pieces no matter what- vpw was speaking at the podium, and made a passing comment about all the mints he could find being these little smashed bits or whatever. Immediately, people began pointing out he said he broke the mints, so they were saving him trouble. "I meant, I break them IN MY MOUTH!" vpw never meant them to cut up his mints, he meant to hide all the booze on his breath. But he mentioned it out loud, some time after he insisted that "the suggestion of a general is tantamount to an order" , and after he'd equated himself with every kind of leader, generals included. So, the dutiful people tried to help him. I SWEAR I have not made up ANY of this.
  10. That was Conan the Barbarian, when Conan was making his prayer to Crom. Aw, nuts, George beat me to it.
  11. John Cusack The Road to Wellville Matthew Broderick
  12. The scene where Penguin dehydrates his mooks ends with that improvised line about being careful and how each of them has a mother. All the other Bat movies were Warner Brothers. Bruno Diaz is Bruce Wayne, Ricardo Tapia is Dick Grayson (now finally known as Rick Grayson after too many decades and too many jokes, not to mention curse blockers stopping his name.) Gotham City, if it's anywhere, is located in New Jersey (Bludhaven also.) And so on.
  13. Confirming it is the Batman 66 movie.
  14. I'm going to give "Gotham Knights" a chance. I found the first episode interesting- but there better be more substance soon, or the story is going to eat itself.
  15. Um, "Inner Space"...... DENNIS QUAID?????
  16. Um, which one was he, again? I think this was STEVE MARTIN.
  17. "Ooh- give me a chance, give me a sign. I'll show her anytime."
  18. Here's a title cut off another album sitting in that window right now. "We don't need no education."
  19. I passed by a bookstore last week. In the window, as has been the custom recently, they had several vinyl records displayed for sale. One that had been added last week was Dire Straits' "Brothers In Arms." The answer this round was "WALK OF LIFE," 2nd hit single off of Dire Straits' "Brothers in Arms." (IIRC, also the last hit single off of that album.
  20. Raf posted that the answer was "Revolution." He posted a movie question, and judged my answer close enough to count as correct. So, I posted this one, which you answered CORRECTLY. The Buggles' one hit was nicely symbolic for MTV coming in and changing the music landscape.
  21. The prosperity gospel is a hallmark of the dangerous Word of Faith Movement, of which vpw was an incredibly minor player, copying others. We were taught that if we wanted something, we could ask God Almighty and He'd give it to us. https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/25436-the-dangerous-word-of-faith-movement-and-how-it-harmed-christians-in-twi/
