(I hope ...) Enough for you come back & read even when you don't talk or give stuff away. 
I'm pretty sure most of us don't share movie quotes for prizes because we all can't possibly win. And we certainly don't make up new lines for famous movie scenes because the creators made the film wrong.
We are inspired because those movies imparted something meaningful enough that we want to share those ideas with others. And we know the scenes were made correctly because they inspire further insights & ideas that we share with our creative "alterations & augmentations"—while not subtracting any value from the originals.
Surely us clowns can't harm Hannibal Lecter by implying he is imprisoned for more than enjoying fava beans and chianti!

You ask us for movie quotes probably because they resonate meaning to you. And those meanings change and grow fuller as times change and as we re-experience the scenes with and through the perspectives of other people.
And occasionally meanings grow just because some nut says, "When Chewbacca growls, it always translates as 'Kiss my hairy ass!'" (That still makes me giggle
.)Actually, I encourage you to NOT indulge our candy- (or hairy) asses. Instead, indulge yourself. Share, laugh, give, think, and enjoy in ways that fulfill you. Just don't regret being here ... or gigling!
(That last paragraph will probably get me brutalized on the streets, again. But it's true so I won't regret it.)

I was *just* beginning to understand 'townsies' & 'redders' & 'greenies', and now you tell me there are MORE colours!?!?!
It's almost enough to make me a manic!

The St. Patrick's Day page needs to be corrected. :-)

In the first two bullet points, St P's Day needs to be March (not May). :-0

I'm currently posting this with TornTools enabled.
I just received the "Against the Odds" mission and one of the targets is active — I was even chatting with him earlier today! (As of the time I was assigned him, his last action was only 1 hour ago.)
Here is the intended and active victim:
Dirkd [1970445] https://www.torn.com/profiles.php?XID=1970445
Would it be possible to be assigned another Target or Mission? (I have the opportunity to purchase a book within a couple days, but I need the Mission credits to do so!)
Please contact me for other info or any other ideas. :-D

You've brought up another piece of evidence that a person can not play Torn like one wants to or in the profession they choose, contrary to all the adverts for the game. Even the ads on the home page where we need to sign in are lying! :-
Enjoyable.
I showed it to my wife.
She laughed until she stopped.
App ;-D
I don't know if I will pick F2F or M&M — but for me, regen'd E will play a role in the decision.
And for anyone I talk to about the debate, I'll just make sure they get all of the accurate info and support whatever choice is good for them. :-)
(Actual food? With caffeine? ... in Torn?!? Shhhhh!)
(You know we can't get real food here for less than an Emperor's ransom! Are you made of money or something?) :-O
Everything you said makes sense and works, but I think that you maybe forgot about regenerated E?
The 250 E energy bar will naturally take about as long to fill as a Xanax lasts — about 7 to 8 hours rather than 5 hours. So that might make up the 140 difference each day between FHCs and cans.
To regen 140 E takes about 5 hours, or 1.5 hours for every Xanax you take without any loss of E that you might lose otherwise between Xans! Esentially you will have less loss of regen'd E due to real life: you can sleep longer, need fewer interruptions from work or other activities, Torn flights can be longer, etc., just because your E bar doesn't fill as fast and there will be far fewer occasions when your E bar will not be full (i.e.: more regen'd E is captured) between log-ins to train in the gym!
This amout of "extra captured E" will vary between each Torn player, but might greatly narrow the apparent E discrepancy between cans and FHCs.
I have had coffee today, but I bet I still made some mistakes somewhere, above, LoL!
Apparently Heretical :-D
I so understand what you have chosen. It is not an easy choice. :-
Take care, and chase who you are as rabidly as you can! ;-D
Whatever you send (if you send something) will have a good place to thrive & be used as it needs to be.

Thank you aurel1. :-)
I can sort-of agree with you, with the exception that there is nothing in Torn game documentation or statements by creators saying that Missions will have inactive targets.
(Minor example: My assigned Mission immediately previous to this one did have an active target.)
I'm currently posting this with TornTools enabled.
I was assigned a Hide and Seek Mission with two potential targets within the parameter of being level 91 — and one of the two are an active player.
I do not require any action for myself for this (these?) issue(s) — I am simply reporting the bug(s) for everyone's benefit. :-D
Here are the 2 possible targets assigned:
picopes [1079411]
wombatmt [1944980]
Take care, :-)

Some examples to consider:
• A certain driver with a particular make & model of car might get the single fastest lap time in a single race and still lose that race.
• Certain vehicles have particular combinations of characteristics that help a make and/or model be better on certain tracks. A real-life example is the traditional rivalry between Ferrari and Lamborghini — drivers know that Lambos struggle with corners and Ferraris don't, but if a Lambo can "open it's wings" on a strait-ish road it can leave the Ferraris behind. So which car is better? Well, *neither* are the best for everything on every track!
• However, the car that wins that single race will probably post the best average times of all their laps in the race compared to all the other divers & vehicles, not just any single best-lap in the race. *AND* that car will have the fewest problems with their vehicle, the weather, the other drivers, and that track than all the other vehicles did. (Blow a tire on the last lap of the greatest race of your life and you still lose the race, no matter what else you did before that!)
• In all races (real and in Torn), drivers will tell you that making records depends on them having a car that does what it is expected to do, every time it is expected to do it, without fail (or without failing between replacements during the race!). The drivers must practice to make the best braking for every corner, the best approach to every corner, and the best acceleration through and after every corner within the limits of the vehicle for every corner of a race and every time they pass another vehicle or enter the pits, too!
• Also, during the race, you have drivers and other vehicles that are aggressively trying to do the same thing you are on the track as well as aggressively trying to do the same thing to * YOU * & all the other drivers, too!!!
Those five ideas, above, create a wildly variable set of overall lap times and race times for every driver and car in every race.
I hope that helps everyone understand all races in general.

Thank you for trying your experiement but money is not what is granted at the Torn church!
You prayed for luck and got nothing. Luck was never part of the praying deal so you got what was promised. :-)
But did you perpetrate 500 crimes and get arrested for them? (How long was your jail sentence and how much reward money did the arrester make?)
Then pepetrate the same 500 crimes amongst praying that forgave your sins. When arrested this time, was there a different jail time and did the arrester make less money for their efforts?
That's what is promised but unfortunately you didn't test that. :-\
Take care, Sir.

P.S.: I understand that performing similar rites at the Casino will provide the some of the remuneration you seek, but YMMV.
Reminder: The omissions from the original post have NOT been addressed, yet.

Right now I can't rule out Bumfluff, though, and I must save my partner.

I really wish Ar53_Hol would have said just a bit more before now, but I'm pretty sure he is not a maniac so DesoA can't be one, either.
