Strangelove,Errant pickoff throw would be #8,but the runner could,or would have scored from second on an outfield hit or a homerun...

This topic should always be on page one,like the ones Pawtucket starts... Anyway,for you baseball brains out there,I was watching a game on ESPN a couple of weeks ago,and Joe Morgan was applauding a runner for tagging up on a fly ball and getting to third base with,now,two outs...He went on to say that there were 12 ways a guy could score from third with two outs that he couln't score from second base with two outs..I didn't watch the rest of the game,but started trying to figure them all out...Here's a few 1)Balk 2)Wild pitch 3)Steal home 4)Infield hit 5)Passed ball 6)Fielder's choice(I was proud of coming up w/ this one)...Batter hit's an infield grounder...Infielder forgets how many outs there are and throws late to home plate,hitter reaches safely...Batter is not credited with a hit,fielder is not charged with an error..Oops,that brings up #7... 7)Batter reaches on an error... There's a few more I can think of,but does anybody else have any?

I don't know but how did 'Peggy' end up being the nickname for Margerite?

Take off thy shoes,Tom,the place where thou treadest is holy ground...

I just had mine done,goshdarnit...I kept calling it "defrocked" until I was informed that that was what they did to priests...It can take a while...

Damn viruses... Think I'll renew my subscription to Hustler..

It's no disgrace to know---to not know... How old is her oldest daughter,like 25?...We should all lift her...

I was interviewed by one of the staffers who was writing an article about running palf classes or something,since I was running a class at the time..She even hung out at the class and took pictures...When the mag came out the next month I was not just a little disappointed... I expected at least a couple of pages of my insightful perspective along with perhaps three or four face shots of me with different expressions and maybe my finger pointing in the air...Instead,all I got was a couple of paragraphs and no picture...I thought "how dare they"...I'm good enough to run their classes but not good enough to have my picture in the way magazine?...That was what did me in....In fact,I probably should have put this on the 'Why did you leave?' thread...So just a few short years later,I quit running palf classes,took my $ out of the way credit union,sold my horn o' plenty at a yard sale and-oh yes,cancelled my subscription to the way magazine....

Drove my Chevalley to the LaValley,but the LaValley was dry.. And them good old boys drank dramboui and Rye Singin' this'll be the day that I die...

If I did that,every post would be moderated... Are the Dee(Dikraian) ruins in the (Donna)Ozarkiw mountains where all those hillbilly (Mitchells)live?

I remember that box factory thing,but not very well...I never worked it,jelled it or made it my own....But I do remember an old song about "ticky tocky little boxes all the same"....

Yeah,Tommy,I remember that....For some reason,even though I didn't really think of him as my "father" in the word,I'm reminded of the song "Papa was a Rolling Stone" by the Temptations....Many of the facts about his life did not become well known 'til after he died,at least for many people... "And when he died,all he left us was alone"....

Well,my second youngest son graduated high school tonite....Very consistant....A "D" average...One more to go in three years,then I can sit down,patch my weary bones and get back truckin'.... Yeah,then I'll be ready to party with you dudes...I'm believin' to have the money to buy Todd and Cyndi Edwards' love bus(of,course,I'm believing it will still be available),complete with P.A. system and Beeeeeautifoool Ohio on cassette....All the guys can get together and build a gazebo and you lovely virtuous womans rise while it is yet night and gather and prepare our breakfast... Yes,we'll gather in Mexico and hand out green cards to the nationals...Imagine their surprise and joy when they realize that rather than obtaining citizenship in the U.S.,they'll be receiving citizenship in the heavenlies...I don't know about gathering in AussieLand....I couldn't understand the English of the English there...When they told me to line up for the queue,I didn't know if I was supposed to go to the poolroom,or what I was supposed to do...

All right....I got rid of the avatar of the guy running his finger up his nose through his eye socket...I saw it on the web somewhere and it grossed me out so much I just had to share it with my friends...

Hey Yom shipper...Just posting so ex can get another look at my vivatar...

Like my new avatar?

Testing.....

I agree,Dougie,issues of the heart are exempt from debate...I guess it's good to look at where we were and where we are,and how we got from there to here... Even though I was in the way since '72,I had very little personal contact with VPW...I don't believe I ever really thought of him as my "father in the word"...But I did have a great deal of respect and awe for him...Somehow,his life seemed to me to be the "living epistle" of the word and ministry that I had committed my life to...Had I been in closer contact with him during his life,I may have looked more to him for who he was rather than the "chosen one" I made him out to be...When he died,the mortality of the way ministry and all that it stood for,seemed much clearer to me...

VPW's passing seemed to close one chapter and open up another for me...I was saddened,emotionally....I had seen him teach hundreds of times,after all...But I think that was when 'the way' became an organization rather than a 'ministry' for me... I knew people died....But I expected something more earth-shaking when he passed away....Maybe a voice from heaven that said "carry on in his footsteps" or something like that...I don't know that I thought of him still as 'the man of God' at the time,but I did look to his life as an example of believing....I wondered why he died so young,and had some physical afflictions preceding his death...I expected a longer,fuller life from somebody who seemed to be so much more connected to God than I was...I was saddened---and disappointed....

I had thought the headstone read "I wish I were the man I know to be"....VPW said that phrase often in his last years....Harve Platig even sang a song by that title during corpse weeks and such,referring to VPW....

This thread may be totally inappropriate,but today is the 19th anniversary of Victor Paul Wierwille's passing...I reflected a little today on how I was affected the day he died...Death has a way of stirring emotions,both good and bad...19 years later,I think quite differently than I did back then....Partly because of maturity(I hope),and partly because I know more about the man than I did back then... I don't really know if I have any particular question or comment....Maybe I'm just thinking that this would be an awkward anniversary to acknowledge here...Most folks' opinions of the man are pretty well laid out on this site...Yet we all are taught to be respectful in a memorial type of situation...Perhaps the best respect one can show is no acknowledgement...Or maybe the emotions stirred are best kept to one's self....

Here it is,May 20,2004,the 19th year anniversary of the "falling asleep" of the founder,and no mention on the cultfe...Judging from some of the subject matter upstairs,I guess it's best to let sleeping dogs lay,(or do you spell it "lie"?)or however that expression goes...

Let me be very phat with you,Frank...You may already be a weiner! It was a '77 Honda CVCC wagon...I loved it 'cuz I could roll all four windows down from the driver's seat...

Tuttle,you're a sincere man,....but you know,....it's just no guarantee for truth... "Don't go running from the shelter of a plumber's little helper" I'd rather have a godly belly than a plumber's butt
