  1. I did not see it on a plane I did not see it on a train I did not see it on a bus I did not, don't make a fuss Wish I had, it might be fun I did not see it on the sun Not with Viking Men in a lagoon is it...
  2. Supergirl 2.1 was excellent. Not caught up on Arrow. Not happy with the direction of Flash 3.1 and 3.2. He HAS to go back to that night once more. Letting things sit the way they are now is depressing. And we still haven't seen Barry do that "wave him off" thing he did at the end of season 1. If it doesn't happen, that's cheating. Looking forward to Legends of Tomorrow with the return of Jonah Hex.
  3. Can never forget the Trinity song, though I don't remember the name... They started out in Babylon where superstition ruled They made their home in Greece and Rome and everyone was fooled Now nothing's changed except their names; today they're known by most As God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost And if there's ever been a lie then this is one They'll tell you "Son of God" means "God the Son." Well we're God's sons and daughters, you and me. So if Jesus Christ is God then so are we. My brother is my father and I don't know what to do. For Christmas they gave me a bike, and that's my father too. Now three-in-one's the oil I use when that bike needs to be greased. And if you can figure that one out, you'd make a damn good priest. And if there's ever been a lie then this is one They'll tell you "Son of God" means "God the Son." Well we're God's sons and daughters, you and me. So if Jesus Christ is God then so are we. That seems too short, so I'm confident I'm missing a verse.
  4. The alternative is the obvious: the Torah says what it says, not what Hebrews says. Hebrews is a later writer drawing a literary parallel. There's no indication that the original readers of the Torah, or those who lived through the events described therein, would have come to the same conclusion as the writer of Hebrews. And yes, this is the SAME discussion.
  5. Did you ever get the impression that the "new present" was so bad that the only solution was to go back and let his mother die? Now he has to go back and stop himself from stopping himself from saving her life, then stop himself from saving her life. Too much!
  6. Not impressed with the premiere of Flash. Seems to have opened up YET ANOTHER return visit to that night.
  7. Can I simply refuse to keep arguing the same point over and over again? A. Hebrews does not establish that the people of Moses' time knew what Hebrews would later record. B. Hebrews is discussing a promise of "entering into rest," not of eternal salvation. Hebrews is drawing a parallel, not establishing that the "good news" of eternal life was preached to the people of Moses' time. By all means, correct me if I'm mistaken. And if you want to use Hebrews to establish what they knew in Moses' time, be my guest. I don't buy it, but that's me.
  8. And with that, the whole Mission Impossible series lost me. Might as well make Richard Kimble his wife's killer. Might as well make Bruce Wayne a henchman for Joker. Might as well make James Bond a Spectre agent. Blasphemy.
  9. Matthew missed us. We were in the "cone of concern," and a slight wobble to the west would have kicked our butts. It wobbled slightly to the east, so we got lucky. Missing in Action Jackson is correct. Your move.
  10. Ok, the potential for this to get political is ... there. So let's not. My vote is with John "The Way International? What's that?" Rupp.
  11. From the Broadway musical "Chess." You're up, WW
  12. Really? Those were the easy ones. I have no giveaways. McCallister had a son name Kevin. Delia had a daughter named Lydia

    And then there was the time I had to do a Facebook Live video about the loop...
  14. Consolation Oscar. Like Al Pacino for Scent of a Woman.
  15. No, I could just tell you were talking about Paul Newman and Tom Cruise.

    So we're fortunate in South Florida to have been spared the brunt of the storm. Matthew will continue to hug the coastline until Saturday, when it will make a sharp right (east) off the coast of South Carolina. Then, on Sunday afternoon or evening, it heads south and east. By late Tuesday, it may be knocking on our door again. That's the bad news for us (in South Florida and the Bahamas). The good news for us is that by the time it comes back to us, Matthew will be severely weakened. It may come back to us as a tropical depression, which is usually not enough to give a storm a name (they don't get named until they're at Tropical Storm strength. Meanwhile, at work... http://www.sun-sentinel.com/local/broward/fl-matthew-possible-loop-20161006-story.html

    What really sucks about this storm is how slowly it's been moving. It's just crawling up the projected cone, which means no matter how strong it is (and it is strong), its effects will be harsh solely by virtue of how long it will be hanging around. For those of you not on the eastern seaboard, I humbly request donations to coastal chapters of the American Red Cross. They're going to need it. Make sure you mark your donations "Hurricane Matthew Relief." This will REQUIRE the charities you choose to earmark your donations for this specific cause. My home is a few miles inland, so I'm not terribly worried. Shutters are up, pets can be corralled easily, water and food stocked up, vehicles gassed. So we should be fine.

  20. That is incorrect. But I find it hilarious that you think that. Actually, technically, this is a showtune. But it got LOTS of mainstream airplay.

    I'm wrong, based on an incomplete forecast track. It looks like it gets close to the coast and then veers east again, which sucks because it's going to smack the coastline for a while instead of making landfall in one spot and dissipating inland. Brace yourselves, east coasters. It's gonna be a long weekend.

    2 p.m. Tuesday: The track has the storm to our east, with what looks like a possible Georgia or South Carolina landfall sometime Friday. For my neck of the woods, we're expecting tropical storm conditions Thursday (which sounds SO much more pleasant than it is. A tropical storm is like a baby elephant. You don't want one in your living room, but you'll take it over a full grown elephant. Next update at 5 p.m. The image in the original post should update automatically.
