  1. Oh, shoot, I'll never get the name of this one, but it might be "The Defector." There's a Romulan on the Enterprise D (Next Gen) and he's trying to tip the crew off to some menacing Romulan plot. Problem is the Romulans already fingered him as a traitor and were feeding him false information, so the information he provided had no real value to the Federation.
  2. "You're doing well. Your brother would have shot himself by now."
  3. Really, this could only be one movie, right? Especially after you said "recent." I thought maybe Mystery Men, but that's not recent. My Super Ex-Girlfriend
  4. I will not be on line, but I will be watching out for the UPS truck!
  5. I don't know if she will eventually become a GSer. She sees it as my thing, but maybe... Anyway, trying to come up with a puzzle...
  6. You may be right about Bellatrix's line, WW, but I have to wonder: JKR has had her thumbprint on these movies, and if she wanted to overrule the line and the visible result, she should have done so. If she allowed that scene and you're wrong, she wanted everyone to know she intended no ambiguity. If she allowed that scene and you're right, it proves she's fallible (horrors!). If she did not allow that line and you're right, producers will have a bit of a time trying to undo the mistake. But we'll know tomorrow, won't we? :)
  7. I thought an ascot was a sweater.
  8. Definitely have a thoguht, but can't figure the third picture into it. Tie? Cravat? U-sket? My guess is The Three Musketeers Death + Ream = The Three M something Ears
  9. Good movie. I understood that some things had to be cut back, but I do wish we'd gotten to spend more time with the actual Order of the Phoenix. Mad Eye Moody, Professor Lupin and Tonks were all severely shortchanged. Another few minutes with each of them would have done some good. Also, the fight at the end of the film seemd a bit rushed and confusing (as I'm sure real fights are). Looking forward to getting my copy of book 7 on Saturday. :)
  10. I've used the Dahmer analogy to make that point that you only need to do evil to a few people for it to taint your legacy. Wierwille met and helped and counseled many people without using them to satisfy his lust for sex and money and power. Dahmer met many people without eating them. Ah, but Wierwille did use people to satisfay is lust for money sex and power, judt like Dahmer did eat people. Not everyone he met. Probably not even a majority. But how many people do you have to eat before you're remembered as a psycopathic cannibal? And how many people do you need to abuse to satisfy your lust for money sex and power before you're recognized as a false minister?
  11. You'll find a wide variety of answers to that question here, Doreen. Welcome to the GSCafe. Me, I still believe those three things.
  12. We truly had a wonderful time. We got back from Puerto Rico yesterday, and are settling into our new home (unpacking gifts - thank you DB and CB) and preparing for the return of my two stepdaughters (the last time I will use that term), who spent this weekend with their father and his family up in Fort Pierce. Puerto Rico was awesome. We fed iguanas, swam in the best beach on earth (near Luquillo), traipsed through the rain forest (El Yunque) and toured the great old forts of El Morro and San Cristobal. We didn't make it to Vieques (next time) or to the cockfighting arena at Isla Verde (next time). But we had just a wonderful, wonderful time. Our first night there, we took a walk on the beach (at night, the stars were phenomenal) and as we made our way back into the hotel, a pianist in the lobby was playing "All I Ask Of You," which was our first dance at the wedding reception. Good sign? :) Thank you, everyone, for your kind wishes.
  13. The pics are at http://www.firstclasssounds.com Click on "view recent events" then under "Christine and Rafael" July 6, 2007
  14. Enjoying a honeymoon in Puerto Rico. A dozen iguanas outside our hotel room window. Visiting El Yunque rain forest today. Having an awesome time. Christine has read some of the messages here and says thanks to all. Still recovering from a beautiful ceremony.
  15. 36,000 couples are getting married today. No, we did not even consider considering it.
  16. Hey guys. What's up?
  17. Here it is, my last post as a single guy! Thanks to everyone for the kind wishes. Sorry I haven't been more diligent posting photos, but I got a bunch and will get a bunch more soon, and I can't wait for you all to see them. God Bless! Raf
  18. 17.75 hours to go! Everything's done: programs, CD's for the guests, flowers, tuxes... just a ceremony to get through, and we're good to go. 7 p.m. eastern, for those keeping track.
  19. VPW didn't write Life Lines. Therefore, it cannot be an example of plagiarism on his part. He didn't pick the quotes, after all. I think it was presented in context and thus adequately documented to avoid that charge even if he had written it.
  20. Oh, we've got a million of them. A bunch of her friends who are teachers by day and wild maniacs by night? They're sitting at Jekyll and Hyde. My uncles are sitting at 4 Guys Named Jose The crowd we met at the karaoke circuit? They're at Cabaret. Aaaaaaargh!!!!!!!
  21. Ok, lots on the to-do list today, including but not limited to: Gifts for the groomsmen, burning a CD that will be the wedding favor (we're doing a Broadway themed wedding, so the favor will be an "original soundtrack." Get it? Ha ha. No? Oh well). Speaking of a Broadway themed wedding, instead of a program, we're having a Playbill. I need to write my vows. And speaking of a Broadway themed wedding, I need to make tickets (instead of table assignments on plain cards, they'll get tickets telling them where to sit). Oh, instead of table numbers, people will actually sit at a table named for a show. Her parents are sitting at "The Producers." My mom is sitting at (where else) Mamma Mia!
  22. Awesome time last night! The bachelor and bachelorette parties merged (I won't say where- this is a family web site). Oh my GOD! :) Anyway, her name is Christine. Her last name doesn't matter: she won't be using it for long.
  23. Seven days away from The Big Day. Tonight: The Bachelor and Bachelorette parties. Tomorrow: We attend another friend's wedding. Sunday: We celebrate her Grandma's birthday. Monday: Complete the wedding program. Tuesday: Panic because the wedding program isn't done yet. Finish it up and get thee to a Kinko's! Wednesday: Independence Day! Where WILL we celebrate? Thursday: The rehearsal, and the rehearsal dinner. Friday: The Wedding, the reception, etc. Check here for updates, pics, etc, etc, etc. And no, no pics from the bachelor party!

    Methinks "Should Be Gore" has fewer "g"s than "Old George Bush"
