They are 14 and 11 and were right outside the door cleaning one of their rooms. As they are steps and not my bio kids, and as I am not yet their stepfather, I leave it to mom to tell them what to watch and what not to watch. Good thing is, they're not all that interested. One of them saw about 10 minutes. The other, none at all. It's because they were not watching that they were indiscriminate about when they became noisy. It just so happened they got noisy every time the script was explaining why Fayed wanted Jack. Was Fayed's brother in an earlier season? I'm trying to remember the name.

I kept missing the explanation of why Fayed wanted Jack. Anyone catch it? Everytime they started to explain it, my soon-to-be stepdaughters made some kind of commotion that overwhelmed the sound from the TV set. It was quite amusing: much like Bruce Willis trying to get a cup of coffee. Anyway, can someone tell me why Fayed wanted Jack?

The "nothing is written" line, and what comes after it, is both powerful and hilarious. you are correct.

"I can't make out whether you're a bloody madman or just half-witted." "I have the same problem, sir." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I'm promoting you Major." "I don't think that's a very good idea." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "What is your name?" "My name is for my friends. None of my friends is a murderer!" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Nothing is written." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Truly, for some men nothing is written unless THEY write it."

dooooooooj

Really, you didn't get it? I understand that it was extremely complicated. I mean, jeez, how could anyone have figured out something so complex? Why, you need at least a second grade education to figure that out. Who's got the time?

"Be specific" means it's either a sequel or a remake, or an original that's had a sequel or remake. Some of the lines are somewhat familiar, while others are VERY familiar. So I'll go with... The Producers non musical version, the one with Gene Wilder and whatshisname.

That was LCM? I saw it on a T-shirt once at Shea Stadium during a Promise Keepers rally. ANNNNyway... easy one

Ah, it's the TYPE of shark. Ok... God/George/Burns Dish (This?) (The?) Mako John/Travolta/V/Jet/Engine/ (injun?) I'm no closer. LOL!!!!!! God Dish Mako Pilot God Is My co-Pilot That was a movie? If God is your co-pilot, SWITCH SEATS!

God/George/Burns Dish (This?) (The?) Shark John/Travolta/V/Jet/Engine/ (injun?)

They're all showing. I was just making funny.

I see a shark and a jet, but somehow, I don't think the answer is west side story.

I say Tom can take it if he wants to just continue the game, but he did not get it until the clue was supplied. He stumbled on it, but didn't realize what he stumbled on.

I'm going to guess the episode that introduced species 8427 or whatever it was called.

Yes

The kids were mentioned in Season 2 and Season 3. They just didn't participate in those days' events. At the beginning of Season 2, Palmer is fishing with his son. Season 3, that politician who has a heart attack tells Sherri he helped make her children's father president of the U.S. No mention that I recall in Season 4, and as for Season 5, they were a little busy. The kids didn't figure into the plot, so no need to mention them.

Yup. Except Dooj should pick another film. That one was posted fairly recently, I'm sure.

Once you get the second one, it's easy. I didn't recognize the third pic, but figured very easily who is must be. S Cape Squeaky Fromme Gnu Susannah York (I'm guessing there, but she does look like Superman's mom). Escape From New York

What, no Asterix?

The more I think about it, the more I think my explanation makes sense. He knew what he was doing. Probably knew it was wrong, too. Simply didn't care. The question for the individual is whether he should have cared. If you're inclined to thnk of him as a teacher who wanted to get the word out, it doesn't bother you that he didn't care. If you're inclined to think of him as a manipulative predator who used God's people toward his own selfish ends, this is just another piece of evidence on top of a mountain of misdeeds that proves his fundamental dishonesty.

Yes, but they can't claim to have written it: not morally or ethically, or even legally these days, but that evidently wasn't an issue in Wierwille's time. I can copy Hamlet's soliloquy and put it on my door, on my web page, in the introduction of my book... I can do whatever I want with it, except say "Hamlet's soliloquy, by Raf." Once I do that, I am a liar. I would probably not get away with it when it comes to Shakespeare, but when it comes to lesser-known authors, I could easily get away with it. I'd still be a liar and, morally but not legally speaking, a thief.

I am sure there is plenty of non-plagiarized content in VPW's work. And I still hold to many of the things that were taught. Some of the things that were taught I no longer hold to, but I hold to something close (example: I no longer accept tithing as a principle, but I do accept generous giving from the heart; I don't accept a "law of believing," but I do see value in positive thinking). But that he plagiarized? Not even arguable, in my book (which is extensively footnoted). I guess copyright law fascinates you guys. Look: copyright and plagiarism are distinct issues. Something in the public domain has no copyright protection. THAT DOES NOT LIBERATE THE HONEST AUTHOR FROM THE NEED TO DOCUMENT HIS SOURCE WHEN QUOTING FROM SOMETHING IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN. A dishonest author can do that at will.
