In case karmicdebt thought no one caught the hint... Lost in Yonkers Matthew Broderick (I should be mean and put Project X, but I'll be nice and put...) Election

no, no, no and no. Okay, here's a hint: if you were the judge, and the defense lawyer said that last quote, what would you say?

Lindy retains the right to jump right back in whenever he wants. His preceding song was "Black Slacks" by Joe Bennett and the Sparkletones. I'm not making that up. In the future, please do not include the title of the song in the clue. And if you include the title in the clue, and STILL no one gets it, it's a sure bet you've picked a real obscure number.

Heh heh heh. Nope. I picked a good one, didn't I? "There's a very good reason for all of that, Your Honor." "Oh? What is that?" "I'm a diabetic." "I fail to see the connection. I've never heard of diabetes causing foul language!" "That's because you're a dou**ebag." Here's another clue: not exactly a giveaway, but if you extrapolate, you'll get it pretty quickly... The one thing that bothered me, the one thing that stayed in my mind and I couldn't get rid of it, that haunted me, was why. Why would she lie? What was her motive for lying? If my client is innocent, she's lying. Why? Was it blackmail? No. Was it jealousy? No. Yesterday I found out why. She doesn't have a motive. You know why? Because she's not lying... And ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the prosecution is not going to get that man today. No. Because I'm gonna get him! My client, the Honorable Henry T. Fleming, should go right to f***ing jail!

Nope.

Rock on!

And now it's Hurricane Emily.

I can almost hear Joe Pesci saying it. He didn't, though. And neither did anyone else in My Cousin Vinny.

That happens to me whenever the Bronx comes out in my voice during a loud phone conversation.

I probably have more questions for you than answers, Patriot. Why does no one in TWI ask the questions you ask? I don't know. You apparently left TWI voluntarily. Perhaps people don't ask because they fear, rightly or wrongly, that they will have to leave involuntarily? I don't know. I do know what groupthink is, though. It suppresses the inquisitive in all of us. We all nod and cheer and clap and smile and say Bless You and Love You round here, to the point that no one gets up and says, "But 'Needs and Wants Parallel' doesn't actually mean anything." No one gets up and says, "But the Bible says the spirit was formed!" No one gets up and says, "How are we prevailing when I have to bribe my kids to take this new, horrifyingly inappropriate class?" No one gets up and says, "You have usurped the authority of Jesus Christ in my life and I am not going to stand for it one day longer!" And maybe someone should.

"There's a very good reason for all of that, Your Honor." "Oh? What is that?" "I'm a diabetic." "I fail to see the connection. I've never heard of diabetes causing foul language!" "That's because you're a dou**ebag."

Welcome to the Cafe, Patriot.

To follow orders that would result in the killing of your own brother is not logical. Star Trek V: The Unfortunate Mistake

When is the reunion, and where in Mexico? It looks like Tuesday or Wednesday are the days to worry, unless you're way down near Belize.

Oh my, this does not look good for Central America and Mexico.

Quick, go play the lottery!

Well, that went from "Huh?" to "Duh!" in just one clue.

I see they took Floyd off the list. Franklin? What a name for a hurricane. Hardly strikes terror in the hearts of the populace, eh?

So, when does the journey begin?

So's an open flame, but you don't see me moving into one. :)-->

Couldja?

Hmmm... I think I do want to know what was originally in that last post...

I've said it before, and it's not always quite understood, but I'll say it again... Each and every one of us is an offshoot of TWI.

Ah, she's got a name now. She's officially Emily.

:)--> Let's see if I get that final in-house writing award I put in for last Friday. Now all I need is a nurse. But where to find one?
