  1. When you get to the place in your heart and mind, where evil doers no longer exist. Thinking only the best of people, manifesting the deluded mind. At this point you have mastered the true definition of utter stupidity. Shall you go to this place willingly, You deserve what happens to you. Be sober. Be vigilant. For your adversary is not a nice guy, and there are people who aren't nice guys either.
  2. The first pic is Dobby from Harry Potter 2. The second is fish gills. So it's something with Dobie Gillis, but I can't figure out how the third pic relates.
  3. You're really top of your class, Appleseed. "all you care about, is to cut people down, to bad you was not man enough, to say what your saying, to victor face..." I did not know Loser Paul Wierwille, and if I had known him, I may not have known then what I know now to say to his face that he was a disgrace as a minister of God, a poor scholar and a habitual liar. Instead, I'll be man enough to say to you that it is hypocrisy of the highest degree to criticize someone for only wanting to "cut people down," then proceeding in the very same sentence to challenge his manhood. Your petty insults dishonor the God you claim to worship.
  4. Short Round Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Harrison Ford
  5. Very close, dooj. Check current listings. I'd ask you to put glasses on, but then I probably wouldn't recognize you.
  6. I don't think Jesus ever intended to put somebody back into the motorcoach when he said "turn the other cheek," which is a response to an insult, not to physical abuse.
  7. And the first picture shows a French street, aka...
  8. Whether living or dead, people who are in the position of ministers are examples. As such, they can be good examples or bad examples. We need not be judges of someone's afterlife, but to tell a good minister from a bad, which we are Biblically mandated to do, requires us to view or review a person's actions, particularly as they pertain to his exercise of his ministry. VPW, regardless of anything he taught that was right, fit the Biblical description of someone we are to turn away from. The danger is that so few of us saw it in time. The lesson to be learned, repeatedly, is not to put trust in a man. Learning that Billy Graham has a secret life as a serial killer wouldn't cause me to reject everything he taught from the pulpit, but it would seriously alter my perception of the man. Amazing to me that so many would look down on those who condemn the actions of VPW, calling such people quick to judge, when such an assertion is, itself, a judgment. Everyone judges. You're supposed to. But there's a Biblical command not to judge at all, which by definition must be an example of hyperbole, as it is impossible and Biblically incorrect not to judge. The hyperbole takes the command to an extreme to make a point. Don't judge at all? That just means you must be extremely cautious about exercising judgment, particularly as reflexive judgmentalism can too easily be directed right back at you (or me). How can Jesus himself tell you not to judge, then show you examples of what kinds of teachers to avoid? Is not the decision that a person meets the qualifications of someone to avoid an exercise of judgment? Either the command not to judge is an example of hyperbole, not to be taken literally, or the commands to exercise judgment are not truly of God. I don't want to worship a god who tells me not to exercise judgment. Such a god wants you in the motorcoach and has disarmed you of the one weapon at your disposal to avoid ever being put in such a horrific position.
  9. From your description, this is it: I know a tropical island Where the Mango moon and Banana sun shine And on this tropical island There lives a cousin of mine Sometimes he lives in the water Sometimes he lives on the land Sometimes he likes to go sun himself On soft Caribbean sand He's a Caribbean Amphibian He likes to hop in the tropical sea Caribbean Amphibian A frog in a coconut tree The flying fish and the turtles They've seen him hop where the pineapple grows He likes to see all the islands So, island-hopping he goes Sometimes he hops to Jamaica Sometimes to Haiti he hops Sometimes a warm Puerto Rican beach Is where he finally stops He's a Caribbean Amphibian He likes to hop in the tropical sea Caribbean Amphibian A frog in a coconut tree Sometimes he lives in the water Sometimes he lives on the land Sometimes he likes to play music in An all-amphibian band He's a Caribbean Amphibian He likes to hop in the tropical sea Caribbean Amphibian A frog in a coconut tree Everybody! He's a Caribbean Amphibian He likes to hop in the tropical sea Caribbean Amphibian A frog in a coconut tree A frog in the coconut tree Ribbet Ribbet!
  10. Good guess. Wrong guess, but good guess. The march is on a street. They're singing a song. The name contains the clue.
  11. I do not forgive them, primarily because I, individually, was never truly wronged by any of them. I now have reason not to trust them and detest the fact that they've given people "reason" to distrust God. And I have no qualms about relaying accurate info about them because I think that serves as a warning to others about them and the potential for others like them to repeat their actions.
  12. Not a single guess is anywhere close. Ok, on the first pic, where and on what is this march or parade taking place? On the second pic, you're closer. How well do you remember the movie? Earlier, the pic was of a street with the Eifell Tower in the background. The note I put was that the tower was not what I was looking at. Your answer, by the way, is one word, two syllables. Like I said, this one is tough.
  13. I think the airplay thing is a reasonable standard. Otherwise we'll all be stumped fairly easily.
  14. If you see three dots, it means a character's name has been spoken, and I feel it would be too much of a giveaway (although I might be mistaken). The second set of quotes goes down in my book as quite possibly the best moment of television I have ever seen. "... What the hell do you think you're doing?" "What?" Driving drunk?" "I'm not... What did you, tattle on me man?" "You stupid, stupid son of a bitch. What the hell were you thinking about? Like every day in this house doesn't say to you you do not drink and then get behind the wheel!" "Ok." "Like you need to be told!" "Ok! Fine. You made your point." *** *** *** "No one gets through stuff together. You get through everything alone." "Come on." "She was alone. And not just at the end. The whole time. She couldn't ask for help, and I couldn't give her help, and that's the way it is." "No, it isn't. Come on..." "Get away! Get away! Get away from me!" "... I care about you." "Don't. I don't want you to care about me, okay? I don't want anyone to care about me." "Why? What is going on ...? Are you like, blaming yourself? Is this about feeling like it's your fault or something?" "No. No, you don't understand. I made a mistake, and, and I swear to God, I am not gonna make it again." "What?" "I am not gonna feel that way about anyone, anymore. I am not gonna love anyone, anymore. I can't. I can't. Please. It's too hard. It's too hard, and it hurts too much. So I don't wanna love anyone, and I don't want anyone to love me." "Well, that's too bad." "..." "You don't have a choice." "No!" "Because I love you, ..." "Please, ..." "I love you. I love you, man."

    Sometimes topics get so serious, I can't tell a joke anymore. Oopsie. :)
  16. Sorry, Krys, but no sincerity is allowed on Just Plain Silly. The Penalty Box for you.
  17. Wow. Tons of great Hollywood Squares quotes online.
  18. I guess Hollywood Squares, but how did you find those quotes?
  19. I was addressing the memory comment to George, who said he didn't remember a Betazoid on ST Voyager. And that is correct.

    We can play the exception game with just about any word. Believe doesn't denote action, but it connotes action. That is, people act on what they believe. If you saw a book that purported to be genuinely scientific, but its main premise was that Mars is not a planet and the moon really is made of green cheese, you would not buy it. That is, you would reject it, an action. You would reject anyone who said Mars is not a planet, at least as an astronomy resource. So while no action is denoted by that belief, potential actions are there. Some beliefs are easier than others when it comes to dreaming up potential corresponding actions.
  21. Ok, I guess this was too hard, and as I don't have a tape of it, I can't pull more quotes: It's from Caretaker, the first episode of Voyager. The reason you don't remember the Betazoid is that she dies in the first hour, one of the reasons they needed to integrate the Maquis crew. Here's a new one: "All right, Colonel. The truth is, I'm a little green man from Alpha Centauri, a beautiful place. You ought to see it." "I am going to lock you up for 200 years." "That ought to be just about right."
  22. Ack! The image is gone! Ok, never mind, I replaced it.
  23. I don't recall a trek episode with that title.
