    • laconejita says:

      Did you make up a word out of second and first?

      Someone will be getting back to you shortly with some very usefull wiki-information. So hold on.

    • Useful info says:

      Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country is the sixth feature film in the Star Trek science fiction franchise. It was released in 1991 by Paramount Pictures, and is the last of the Star Trek films to include the entire core cast of the 1960s Star Trek television series. After an ecological disaster leads to two longstanding enemies—the Federation and the Klingon Empire—brokering a tenuous truce, the crew of the USS Enterprise-A must prevent war from breaking out on the eve of universal peace. Faced with producing a new film in time for Star Trek’s 25th anniversary, Denny Martin Flinn and Nicholas Meyer, the director of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, wrote a script based on a suggestion from Leonard Nimoy about what would happen if “the wall came down in space”, touching on the contemporary topic of the Cold War. Principal photography took place between April 1991 and September 1991. The production budget was smaller than anticipated due to the critical and commercial failure of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. Due to a lack of sound stage space on the Paramount Pictures lots, many scenes were filmed around Hollywood. Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry died shortly before the movie’s premiere. The Undiscovered Country garnered positive reviews, with publications praising the lighthearted acting and tongue-in-cheek references.

    Mustn’t roast things on stove, huh? Where can I roast my Steve flavored chops?

  4. Meowth says:

    I’d like to see what’s under the Engrish Funny watermark… I can’t see what water easily does…

  5. JohnB says:

    I guess I was foolish for buying that non-stick coating for my vitreous desk-and-stove set, since apparently nothing sticks to them. Sales people always want to talk you into getting things you don’t really need.

    • KinkyTom says:

      like the sales person who sold me those Jesus Body tablets >.<

      or the one who sold me a giant constipated King Kong Statue :P

      or the Spiderman action figure I bought <..>

  6. JohnB says:

    Would Mary’s conception of Jesus qualify as an inorganic impregnation?

    • dr handle says:

      Doesn’t the Immaculate Conception refer to the conception of Mary herself, so that she could be born without the taint of original sin upon her? (I’m married to a Mick, and the details of these fairy tales fascinate me).

      • JohnB says:

        Yes, you win Common Misconceptions (pun intended) About Catholicism for $600! Now, for $800, the Jeopardy answer is, The Assumption.

        • dr handle says:

          Um….what term is used to describe the ascent of Mary in both body and soul to heaven after her death, leaving no earthly body behind?

          • JohnB says:

            Ding ding ding! Correct!! You say Common Misconceptions About Catholicism for $1000? Okay, here’s the answer: Infallibility.

            • dr handle says:

              Ooooh, hang on, hang on, I think I know this one, but I’ll have to word it carefully…. this could be quite a long and convoluted question… okay, here we go:

              What term is used to refer to inability to make mistakes in teaching religious faith and morals, but is also sometimes incorrectly used to suggest that a person (most notably the Pope) is incapable of being wrong about anything or of committing sin?

              • JohnB says:

                Ding ding ding!! Well done! So, Dr. Handle, you’re standing atop the leader board with $2400 as we come to Final Jeopardy. Tonight, in a strange coincidence–God works in mysterious ways, huh? *wink wink*–happens to be Deadly Sins. And remember folks, your answer must be in the form of a question. Good luck! And the Final Jeopardy answer is:

                This is the one sin a Roman Catholic cannot commit on Saturday, go to confession and receive absolution for, and then receive Holy Communion on Sunday, without committing a mortal sin.

                • paws4thot says:

                  What is Catch 22?

                  • JohnB says:

                    Sorry, no, that is incorrect. And I see you’ve wagered all of your winnings, which means you leave with zero dollars. But I hope you had a lot of fun here on Jeopardy anyway. And rest assured that while you didn’t make anything, I, Alex Trebeck, and our stations all made a lot of dough.

                    • dr handle says:

                      Never mind paws, I don’t think I know this one either – I was going to guess “What are the consequences for a Catholic who knowingly descrates the eucharist?”, although I think “What happens to dr handle’s husband if he neglects to make the cup of tea for his wife on a weekend morning before he goes to Mass?” is a better answer (The man must make the tea; I have the Bible to back me up on this one).

                      • JohnB says:

                        Oh, I’m sorry, Dr. Handle, but that answer is incorrect. And let’s see how much you wagered on this one–ah, you went all in. Well, I’m sorry, but you also end the day with no winnings. Now, for our third contestant… (Any takers?)

                        • laconejita says:

                          Can you repeat the question?

                        • laconejita says:

                          What is a mortal sin?

                        • JohnB says:

                          You can just scroll up to read the Final Jeopardy answer. And I’m sure I’m not supposed to offer any help on Jeopardy, but a mortal sin is one that would cause a person to be sent to hell, rather than purgatory, if the sin were still “on the books” (i.e., unforgiven) at the time of death. (In contrast to venial sins, which were more minor matters.) I am not a Roman Catholic, BTW, but was raised one and in fact used to teach religious education in the Catholic Church, so I am well versed in its doctrines. (Though I am not one of those who was so traumatized by my experience that I would describe myself, as some do, as a “recovering” Catholic. ) And applied practical theology has been an interest of mine for many years, so I know a little about most of the world’s religions, even those no longer extant. Only recently was I ordained, and as yet I haven’t done much with it. (I plan on the ministry being my “second career” if I ever manage to retire from psychology, and only a part-time occupation in the meantime.)

                        • dr handle says:

                          So what is the one thing a Catholic can’t do on Saturday then seek absolution and Communion on Sunday (and presumably be At It Again on Monday) without committing mortal sin? Does it have anything to do with eating the last chocolate biscuit?

                          As I understand it, “mortal sin” is no longer considered rigidly defined, but revolves largely around the idea of a mature, informed conscience, and knowingly undertaking sinful action. For instance, procuring an abortion is not mortal sin if you have never heard the teachings of the Catholic church against it, but if you have heard the Good (?) News, then it is, because you are supposed to know better. Maybe sometimes ignorance is bliss (although it leaves you with fewer fairy tales about imaginary friends to laugh at).

                        • JohnB says:

                          I’m sorry, time is up, contestants. And let’s see… Our third contestant not only left the tablet blank, but seems to have left the building. OK then, the Final Jeopardy question was, “What is remarriage?”

                        • laconejita says:

                          I didn’t leave it blank. My answer(question) was:

                          What is mortal sin?

                          You were talking about a sin committed and blah blah blah, without committing a mortal sin. So than that sin that you are talking about MUST be a mortal sin. Right?

                        • laconejita says:

                          So anyways, even though I was wrong, I wanted to clarify that I did provide an answer.

                        • JohnB says:

                          Duh! I missed it entirely! Of course, that answer is incorrect, because all kinds of mortal sins can be committed on Saturday, with confession and absolution Saturday night, and Holy Communion on Sunday. In fact, you can kill your spouse, go to confession and express remorse and promise not to kill again, and receive communion on Sunday. However, if you are divorced, and you marry on Saturday, not only can’t you receive communion on Sunday but essentially you cannot, ever again. Yes, some Catholics do get annulments, but this is a lengthy, complicated, and expensive procedure, and requires that you pretend that you weren’t married before. As a Catholic, I went as far as getting the forms, looking at them, laughing, and throwing them away. And on that day, the Church and I parted company. Since my first wife had had an affair with my best friend, and wouldn’t break it off, I felt that divorce was far more civil and virtuous than my emotionally-preferred options! And there I was, permanently a second-class citizen in a church I had spent much time and done much work in. Ah, well, I think the legalism and rigidity would have driven me out, eventually, anyway. I’m not one who believes that if you call God something else than I do, or even if you’re not sure there is a God, that you’re bound for hell. No offense intended to any Catholics reading this; people go to churches for lots of diverse reasons, and I dont’ wish to disturb anyone who is comfortable where they are.

                        • dr handle says:

                          Then of course there’s running off and marrying an atheist… the husband and I were hitched for nearly 10 years before we had our marriage convalidated (recognized as a ‘true’ marriage) by his church. It needed the approval of the archbishop, because he’d done something worse than just marry an atheist; he’d married an atheist who’d been baptised into a faith as a baby and rejected it when she grew up, making her… APOSTATE (pauses whilst audience gasps in horror). When the bit of paper finally arrived, it was wonderful – finally, we were allowed to have secks!

                        • the ftache says:

                          any one see the bushes thatlook like giant cumm

                          makers

                      • JohnB says:

                        Oh, and BTW, although I am rather familiar with the Bible, I cannot recall any passages dealing with tea. Can you enlighten me as to where I might find such?

                        • dr handle says:

                          What? It’s spelled out very clearly – the man must make the tea. There’s an entire book about it in the NT. It’s titled “Hebrews”. *tish-BOOM!*

                        • JohnB says:

                          *CLONK!!!* Dreadful pun indeed! That ranks up there with the fellow who told me that the Bible says God was a baseball fan. After all, he said, the first words in the book are, “In the big inning…”

                        • dr handle says:

                          Maybe he’s a cricket fan.

                        • JohnB says:

                          Could be. He created so many of the infernal noisy insects!

  7. JohnB says:

    Leatheroid. Is that an insulting term of reference to motorcycle riders?

  8. JohnB says:

    “In winter, you’d better warm the interface appreciably with heating machine.” If ever there were a rule that didn’t need to be made, this is it!

  9. mamarosa says:

    It’s Happy Fun Hook!

    I find it saves time to hang things while the paint is still wet, but I riri mustn’t.

  10. laconejita says:

    “Wet painty surface”

    Sounds like language a two year old would use. Well at least the wet and painty. I don’t think they say surface.

    • JohnB says:

      Although with two-year-olds, it’s not uncommon to encounter a wet panty surface.

      • dr handle says:

        Or a wet painty surface, if they’ve decided that a large piece of butcher’s paper just hems in their poster paint creativity too much, and the loungeroom wall would provide a much more suitable canvas for their artistic expression.

  11. JohnB says:

    I hate it when pilots flakily plane.

  12. JohnB says:

    “…and so on.” Let’s see, we have a series, clock, camera, mirror… Sorry, I don’t see a pattern. What on earth would come next?

    • laconejita says:

      How on earh should we do?

      • JohnB says:

        I think that first we should have some t.

        • laconejita says:

          Hey how did you take that “t” from my post? I am sure it was there before.

          • JohnB says:

            It’s 4:00 PM here now. That, of course, is the time I always take t.

            • laconejita says:

              And since you said you are a coffee drinker, I am sure coffee time is at 6am, 8am, 10:30am, 1pm, 3pm and lastly before going to bed 9pm.

              • JohnB says:

                Coffee time is basically 24/7, although I don’t usually go to bed nearly that early.

                • laconejita says:

                  Clearly you can’t go to bed that early, because of all the coffee you’ve been drinking all day long.

                  Also, you mention that coffee time is 24/7, does that mean you drink coffee in your sleep as well.

                  • JohnB says:

                    Yes, I have an IV hooked up to me while I sleep. Otherwise, I’m just too sleepy to dream.

                    • Meowth says:

                      I have never heard of that method of inducing dreams…

                      • JohnB says:

                        Actually, I don’t use IV coffee, of course. However, I have an erratic sleep schedule, and a typical week will find me awake at some point at every time of day. I have obstructive sleep apnea, treated well with a CPAP machine, but I have other oddities of sleep including hypersomnia (one of the reasons I drink so much coffee), sleep-onset REM (I go directly into the dream state, no normal progression through the sleep stages), hypnagogic and hypnopompic hallucinations, and sleepwalking.

                        • Meowth says:

                          A side effect from all of the drugs you subjected yourself to?

                        • laconejita says:

                          I just want to double check, you meant to say CPAP machine. I don’t know if you meant CRAP machine and the filter switched letters around.

                        • laconejita says:

                          By the way, an interesting fact:

                          The toilet was first named The Crapper, named after its inventor Thomas Crapper.

                        • JohnB says:

                          Actually, the invention of the flush toilet by Thomas Crapper is a myth. Thomas Crapper was indeed an English plumber, but the invention of the flush toilet predates him by quite a few years. It is also a myth that we get the word “crap” from his name, since the word “crap” appears in literature long before his lifetime.

                          CPAP stands for continuous positive airway pressure, and is a machine that forces air into a mask, which is used to keep the throat open during sleep, preventing obstructive sleep apnea. The condition can also be treated surgically, but I try to avoid surgery whenever possible. The machine works well for me.

                          No, my sleep apnea and other sleep oddities most certainly are not a side effect of drug abuse, since most of the symptoms date back to childhood. I also know of a family history of the condition (although retrospectively diagnosed), and my stopping breathing during sleep was noticed early on by my college freshman roommate, who was premed, at a time when I had scarcely started to abuse drugs, and when my loud snoring (a symptom of obstructive sleep apnea) had been well known for years before. Abuse of alcohol and other downers worsened the condition at the time I did them, but I never sought treatment for it until I had been sober 14 years, at a time when the quality of my sleep had deteriorated to the point that I was waking up more tired than when I went to bed. It is a rather common problem that can have serious, even deadly, health consequences. People with sleep apnea do have a higher frequency of other sleep abmormalities, but most, unlike myself, do not have sleep-onset REM or the hallucinations. (I recall one particularly vivid episode of hypnogogic hallucinations that I can date to when I was 7, which (believe me!) was long before I took up substance abuse.

                          No, I am one of the lucky few who managed to emerge from serious alcoholism and drug abuse with my health apparently intact. All of the chronic health problems I have now emerged only after I’d been sober for years. Of course, it is possible that some of the bad habits set off a cascade of events that only surfaced as illness years later, but I tend to doubt it.

                        • laconejita says:

                          See, Engrish can be educational. I don’t know what good it will do me to know all this now, but you never know.

            • dr handle says:

              Any time is t time. In fact, I’m doing it RIGHT NOW. *heavy breathing*. Go on, ask me what colour tea mug I’m using…

              • laconejita says:

                What color of tea mug are you using?

                • Meowth says:

                  Do you have buttered scones for tea?

                • laconejita says:

                  I have no idea why I am asking, but what sort of tea are you drinking?

                  • dr handle says:

                    *pant pant pant* Earl Grey. With milk. Yes, I’m a philistine. But what do you expect from someone who’d call a 1300 telephone number advertised as “T For A Good Time”? *pant pant pant*

                    • JohnB says:

                      I love Earl Grey tea, but I can’t imagine mixing it with milk.

                    • Meowth says:

                      1300? Never heard of telephones that old…

                    • laconejita says:

                      Earl Grey with milk is my favorite. Although I wouldn’t mind having it with Mike.

                      • Droll not Troll says:

                        I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one who drinks Earl Grey with milk.
                        BTW, I once had someone tell me he didn’t like Earl Grey tea because it tastes like dish-washing liquid! I knew he was referring to the fact that some detergents have bergamot added as a fragrance, but I just stared at him until he asked me why I was staring at him, then I told him I was waiting for him to blow bubbles. He still didn’t realise what he’d said!

                      • laconejita says:

                        Well clearly your friend is the one with the problem if he knows what dish-washing liquid tastes like.

                      • JohnB says:

                        Anyone who has incompletely rinsed a dish knows that!

    • PoodleGroomer says:

      Anything that is large, heavy, and would make an expensive noise of destruction when it hit the floor.

  13. JohnB says:

    Seems to me that when people are hanged, they will tend to act in ways that express their desire to decline.

  14. BuckInARut says:

    I’ve never touched Ms. Organic! Plus, I couldn’t have gotten her impregnated since I have been hanging in a declining way (and I refuse to get medication for it).

  15. laconejita says:

    It’s funny how some things are highlighted to show you the funny, but even things that aren’t highlighted are still ackward.

    To be safety you can’t stick it on vitreous desk and stove.

  16. JohnB says:

    I try not to buy my silverware at Unable Setting Place. If you can’t set the table with it, what good is it???

  17. dr handle says:

    “Hang things in declining way.” Well, I’ve had a terrible time learning my declensions, but I’ll give it a go:
    thingus thinga thingo
    thingum thingam thingum
    thingo thinga thingo
    No idea what the gender is; neuter, probably.

  18. paws4thot says:

    “Don’t hang things in declining way” – So how does one hang something in an inclining way?

    Has anyone considered that hanging things vertically down actually minimises the sheer loading on the hook?

    • JohnB says:

      If I’m not inclined to hang it, but do it anyway, I am hanging things in a declining way. If I am inclined to hang it, but then don’t, I’m not hanging things in an inclining way.

    • bluejade says:

      Who cares about sheer loading? This is engrish, there’s no place here for the laws of physics!

      • JohnB says:

        Well, if you’re loading heavy thighs into sheer stockings, you need to have a general appreciation for the laws of tensile strength.

    “the place that water easily” describes my eyes when I read instructions like these!
