  1. The trick is to pick something that gives away enough so that those with a passing familiarity might be able to say. hey, that sounds like such and such character from such and such movie based on that famous book by Kevin Bacon! And to do that without being TOO obvious (a reference to Sherlock Holmes would be too obvious, for example). But whatever: thread's been dormant nine years. Make it easy if you want.
  2. My book wouldn't be about TWI. I was in TWI for about 10 months. At best, 2.5 years if you count the time I spent learning about it before taking the class. And then I left along with about 90 percent of New York. Yawn. DWBH... I'd ghost write that one!
  3. I knew that. I just didn't have a next one so I shutted up. "It belongs in a museum!"
  4. Season 5 of Arrow is on Netflix. I'll be catching up soon.
  5. Actually, I found an analysis of PFAL using the mindset promoted by PFAL disproves Mike's thesis to the extent that he stayed off this board for more than a decade before returning to crap on the board and claim victory. If PFAL is God's Word, then PFAL has to live up to what PFAL defines as the characteristics of God's Word. It does not. Therefore it is not. "But yes it does!" No, it doesn't. "But I dodged and deflected and distracted for more than 10 years!" You did. And the errors are still errors. The contradictions are still contradictions. PFAL is not God's Word by PFAL's definition. That's a tough thing to escape. Ironically, you can make a decent case for PFAL being God's Word if you concede that PFAL was wrong about the characteristics about God's Word. But then it wouldn't be nearly as impressive.
  6. An observation I can make now that I was not prepared to accept a decade ago. There is NO argument to make against Mike's position that does not nullify the Bible as God's Word -- at least not by The Way's definition of "God's Word."
  7. A bit of advice to those who weren't engaged in this debate a decade ago... You're playing chess with a pigeon. No offense inten... oh, who am I kidding? Offense intended. Sorry.
  8. As far as I'm concerned, yes, they ended 10 years ago or more. We no longer have anything approaching a common frame of reference anymore, so there's nothing for me to debate. It should be noted at this point, however, that you and I are finally in agreement. I now consider the works of VPW to be just as "God-breathed" as the Bible. So I guess you win.
  9. Ooh! Ooh! I know this one! Shaun the Sheep!
  10. Hard to Kill Steven Segal Executive Decision
  11. Bette Davis AND Judi Dench? Queen Elizabeth
  12. Ok, all caught up on Flash, Supergirl and Legends. Made it about halfway through Arrow before I got hopelessly left behind. Waiting for season 5 to show up on Netflix. Please feel free to post spoilers. Agents of Shield: Never got anywhere near it this season. Again will have to wait for Netflix, though if I recall correctly, that won't take very long to happen. Looks like I'll NEVER see Agent Carter unless Marvel finally decides to stream it on Netflix or Amazon Prime. But I'm all caught up on The Walking... oh, wait, you guys don't watch that. Iron Fist benefitted greatly from my low expectations. I do not understand why, in an era when rewriting a minor character like that would have been understandable and acceptable, they couldn't just make him Asian.
  13. There are no "rational" explanations, because the rational conclusion is that it never happened.
  14. For the sake of anyone reading, let's just call it a draw... Bosom Buddies Tom Hanks became uber famous for Splash. I never noticed the palm trees. WW, if you come up with something first, go ahead. I won't rush.
  15. Third clue really was a giveaway. Take it, WW!
  16. I was counting on that. If Indy had not interfered, the ark would have been obtained by the Nazis, who would have opened it and had their faces melted off. As it turns out, though, Indy DID interfere. And the ark was obtained by the Nazis, who opened it and had their faces melted off. http://whatculture.com/tv/big-bang-theory-ruined-indiana-jones-everyone
  17. Supposed hero repeatedly interferes with a spectacular and ultimately supernatural chain of events he ultimately does not influence.
  18. One of the two lead actors on this series never took an acting class. The two main characters are mentioned in passing in the movie Zootopia. Quite a few characters are murdered throughout the course of the series. The characters' unique way of getting rid of the evidence is fictional. The producers later explained that they were not in the business of teaching criminals how to dispose of bodies.
  19. The Brit? These are, if I am not mistaken, ALL BRITS
