🙂 Very nice. I laughed when I read you comments on ‘Salior Xev’ [url]http://elfwood.lysator.liu.se/fanq/l/u/luffsan2/idunno2.jpg.html[/url]
I tried to look and got this – The resource you requested:
/fanq/l/luffsan2/Vlad.jpg.html cannot be found. 🙁Ack! pirates! Ah no, just LL. 😀
I was interested in one part of the article you pointed out. I feel I can shed some light on his puzzlement.
[quote]The silence is all the more troubling since in the past the US news media has had no problem at all covering other wacko conspiracy theories, ones with far less evidence to support them. (For infuriating confirmation of this, watch the second part of the must-see documentary series The Power Of Nightmares (Wed, 9pm, BBC2) and witness the absurd hounding of Bill Clinton over the Whitewater and Vince Foster non-scandals.) [/quote]
See what the writer ignores is that for the most part, due to laws passed in the recent past, most of our media is now owned by a few conglomerates. Who are for the most part run by people of the Republican ilk. So, stories ferreted out by those pesky reporter vermin are only allowed to run rampant when they attack democrats.
Now granted they will occassionally dip a toe into the septic tank that the republican party is currently swimming in, but only when such knowledge is so wide spread as to make it impossible to ignore. And even then it will only be allowed until the first opportunity for it to be dropped or twisted in to an attack on the other side.
We need to nag Block Buster to get this movie. I checked with them last night and they didn’t have it and did not have it on their schedule.
So that will be one, ‘Going to bed with out dinner.’ *theFrey makes notes for the chef* Very good. 😀
okayyyyy, any one else want to put in their order for dinner2005? 😉
[quote=”Sidhecafe”]I believe in voting, it’s the only option I have, and I’m sick of all these liberals saying a vote NOT for Kerry is a vote for Bush.[/quote]
Actually, my main complain is the people who say I don’t like either. Well, you may not be wild about either but they are the only two choices you have right now. Unless, you decide to go the protest route and pitch your vote at Nader.
Face it guys, it’s dinner time. Mom has offered us the choice of tuna cassole or hamburger helper. We can tell her we want steak as much as we like, but it ain’t on the menu tonight. Unless of course we decide to go to bed hungry (Nader)
So for a lot of people it will come down to are you better off now that you were four years ago.
I have been listening to the pundits and have become alarmed at what seems to becoming a consensus.
This election is so close, and sadly there is so much shady crap going on, that unless everyone plays nice (unlikely) that we may end up with a constitutional crisis on our hands.
Where are those United Nations Election Monitors when you need them. 😛
[quote=”leila”]I was having a few thoughts on your Lexx/Harry Potter idea. It is fanfic so of course you don’t HAVE to explain yourself – you can just have the Lexx crew arrive at Hogwarts (I think that works better than have the HP crew come to the Lexx)….
However personally I hate these random fics so some ideas I had on how you can link them:[/quote]
True enough, but like your self, I hate when they just pop them together without even trying to come up with even a plausible tie in. ;D
[quote=”leila”] 2) Or he (or someone else) could have summoned the Lexx by some magical means (totally be accident would be fun)
[/quote]Hummm, you mean like Neville? Perhaps in Summoning class? He was trying to summon a DragonFly but kept getting something small, like a teatsy fly. So he juice up the spell to get something bigger and then thinks it didn’t work, not realizing that instead of a dragonfly hovering over his desk, he got the Lexx hovering high over the school?
[quote=”leila”]1) Hagrid has an affinity with all creatures. So why not a leviathan like the Lexx? [/quote]
Or a moth that the crew use to investigate why they were drawn here after they move the Lexx up a bit so not one can see it? 😆 😆
I loved Blade Runner, long before it was made into a movie. Of couese once they put Harrison Ford up there what was not to love. ell okay, they kinda butchered the story a bit… but Harrison Ford was in it!
I also like Minority Report, but haven’t seen Scanner Darkly. I will have to look it up. 😀 thanks for the suggestion. 😆
I have always thought that the primaries should have a ‘None of the Above’ choice. We hate them all, find us someone else. 😆
But, having said that. I have lived through a Bush governorship and now a Bush Presidency and I can truthfully say that I would vote for theStupidSpouseDog before I voted for Bush. Someone who refuses to adjust their strategy when something is not working is not steadfast, they are stupid.
While, Mr. Kerry is not my first choice of Democrat, he has stamina. Besides, if Bush gets elected again he will totally dismantle what little is left of labor rights…. and them invade Mars.
Kai and Wolverine huh? Very interesting. Both dudes with serious hair care issues 😆
The thing I keep thinking of lately, in addition to Lexx of course, are Harry Potter cross overs. I loved the HP/Sabrina cross over and wish the author had finished it.
But…. try as I might.. I cannot figure out a way to get the Lexx Crew to Hogwarts, or the some of the students/and or Staff up to the Lexx. 😀
[quote=”Cesare”]I’m writing a Lexx fanfic, too. It’s a development of two really silly ideas and it’s gonna be really lame.
But it’s fun… 😀 [/quote]Ummm, hellooooo. You want to talk silly and lame? My one and only is a fairy tale that involves hair styling. 🙂
But the good news it is silly and lame that is almost finished. I post the ending tonight or tomorrow. Hard to beleive that Jade and I started this a few years ago. 😛 😀
Well I recomend posting at both. That way you can get responses from both, and have a bit of insurance incase a database gets corrupted and one site or the other loses the story. 8)
[quote]Section 16[/quote]
“Me?” Stan yelped, “Why me?”
“Yes kill him,” 790 urged.
“790, be silent.” Kai said.
Prince was quite satisfied that his threat was having the desired affect. A few comments, but no one moved. He quickly checked to make sure that Stanley was between him and Kai, no sense in taking chances after all. “Restrain him,” he ordered the guards gesturing towards Stanley.
“Don’t move Stanley,” he said smiling as the obedient guards began to move warily into the room. “I would hate for them to have to kill you, it might upset Kai, and we don’t want that do we?”
“Yes we do!” 790 shouted.
“790, shut up.” Xev said, giving the robot head a small shake, stopping when she saw one of the guards, flick his gaze her way.
“The dead do not get upset,” Kai said. “You know that.”
“True,” said Prince. “But you might do something that would upset me, and we don’t want that do we?”
“We certainly do!” Xev said, glaring at Prince, but still not moving.
Noting Kai’s almost imperceptible shifting of position; Prince moved close beside Stanley and tossed a mocking smile to Kai.
“Now Stanley,” Prince said, not taking his eyes off of Kai. “Perhaps this would be a good time to reconsider your desire to leave without coming to some sort of accommodation with me. After all, Kai said he would do as you and Zev wished…. we are all reasonable people here, I am sure some sort of compromise can be worked out.”
Stanley felt strangely calm despite the fact that he was, once again in mortal peril. Oh, there was panic there, welling up inside him, but… he almost felt like he was not really part of what was going on. Kai was scanning from Prince to the guards and back again. No surprise there, Kai always kept his eye on the main threat. Xev and 790 were watching Kai intently, again no surprise. Prince was watching Kai, as were the guards, as they slowly advanced towards him as commanded. Startled, Stanley realized that no one was watching him. Without thinking, Stanley threw himself sideways at Prince, grabbing his robe and trying to maneuver him so that he stood between Stan and the guards.
“Stanley!” Xev cried as Kai shoved her and 790 towards the wall, and then began targeting the guards rushing towards Stan.
Transferring his hold to the front of Prince’s robes, Stanley whirled Prince in a circle crying, “get ‘em Kai!” Just as Prince struck him with sharp blows to his unprotected sides.
Cries of confusion, command and pain erupted from various areas of the room as Prince and Stanley struggled, and the guards tried to fend off Kai’s brace wrapping a cable around them at knee level.
Xev, quickly placed 790 down by the wall, pausing only long enough to obey his shrieks that he be turned so he could see his corpse of delight. Looking up, she saw Kai begin to tighten his hold on the guards. Xev danced impatiently by the wall, waiting for an opening so she could slip past without crossing near the guards and help Stan.
Stanley was not having a good day. Granted he was still alive, but that was possibly the only thing going his way now. He tried warding off blows by shifting his body, but unless he released his hold on Prince, he couldn’t really defend himself that well. And for some reason, he felt that giving Prince a chance to break out of the fight personally… was a bad thing to do. Prince was enough of a pain in close quarters, but Stan was sure he could cause worse trouble if he was not kept occupied.
“You’ll never win Stanley,” Prince snarled. Very soon reinforcements will arrive and you will all be overwhelmed even Kai.”
Before Stan could reply, Prince struck a low hard blow. Stanley’s knees buckled and his eyes widened like saucers, only his grip on Prince’s robes kept him from collapsing to the floor. Seizing the advantage, Prince punched both fists up between him and Stan forcing his arms apart to break Stan’s hold on his robe.
Prince was breathing heavily but his lips curled into a sneer as he aimed a kick at the fallen man’s ribs.
Xev cried out as Stanley fell heavily backwards. Darting around Kai, she barreled into Prince, knocking him sideways. Prince staggered a moment trying to keep his footing, but he fell over Stanley, crashing to the floor with Xev on top of him keening her cluster lizard cry.
With a quick twist, Prince knocked Xev off of his back. “Oh, no you don’t,” he growled as she tried to scramble upright. Continuing his roll, his hand found her braid and yanked her backwards as she tried to scramble to her feet.
Kai, flicked his wrist and brought the brace back to its sheath. Reaching out, almost casually, he picked up a chair and slammed it against the stone wall. After a moment, he broken off enough that he was left with a decent length club which he brought down on the head of the first guard jumping up from the ground. His next swing knocked aside a sword thrusting towards him, and then took care of the other guards in very short order.
“Ohhhhhhhhhhhh Kai. I just love it when you get rough,” moaned 790.
Ignoring the robot head, Kai glanced over to see Prince straddling Xev, but leaning backwards hands clutching his heavy chain of office, trying to keep an enraged, breathless Stanley from strangling him with it. Judging that he had a moment to spare, Kai darted to the door to make sure that no crossbow men were headed their way as re-enforcement.
“Quickly,” Jane hissed as he looked up the hallway. “I hear the guards coming up the central stair.”
Kai stepped back into the room, casually kicked a guard who was stirring in the head and then went to retrieve 790. “Stanley, leave him and help Xev up, we need to leave.”
“I’m. Going. To. Kill. Him,” Stan grunted face red with effort.
“No, Stanley, we have to leave now.”
Stan threw a exacerbated look over his shoulder and then strained trying to draw the chain tighter.
Prince fell forward gasping as that final tug caused the chain to break. Xev, pushed him off of her, and accepted a trembling, sweaty offer of assistance from Stanley.
“I’ll get you,” Prince gasped crawling to his knees. “One way or another.” *coff* “I’ll get you.” Had he not been facing away from them, he might have been surprised at the look of utter irritation that passed over Stanley’s sweaty face.
Of course, he would have also been surprised at the business like way Stanley folded the heavy chain in half, took a step back towards him and then swung the chain sharply down on the back of his head. “And that,” Stanley told the motionless form sprawled on the floor, “Is for messing up Xev’s hair.”
“Oh Stan.” Xev laughed as she hugged him, tears bright in her eyes.
“Hey, hey. Xev, come on, let’s get out of here.
“Come, we must hurry,” Kai told them, handing 790 to Stanley.
They ran from the room. Jane was waiting for them in the hall. “This way,” she hissed, running away from the central hall. The next few minutes were a dizzying scramble down narrow service stairs, through long galleries, back hallways and then finally fetching up by a ground floor door opening out to the work yard.
Xev, who had been shedding hair pins the entire trip, pulled the bun form off her head and pushed her hair from her eyes, just in time to see Jane pull a small bundle from a storage cabinet by the door.
“Here are your things,” she said, thrusting the bundle into Xev’s arms. “Beside the stables, you will find three horses saddled and ready to go. There may be a few boys there waiting for my housemaids to bring out the alms bundles that I am sending to the village. Don’t hurt them, they’re young, a few shouts should send them running.”
“We won’t hurt them,” Kai told her opening the door. Xev, hugged her quickly, and then followed after Kai.
“Jane, I don’t know how to thank you,” said Stanley, snatching up her hand, and holding it tightly.
“Taking the dark man away from here quickly is all the thanks I need Captain Stanley.”
“Stanley,” Xev hissed, reaching in the door way and tugging at his sleeve. “Kai said to come now!”
“Goodbye Captain,” Jane said, drawing her hand away.
Taking the door key off the wall, she watched them through the small window, as she locked the door. Walking back towards the hallway, she casually tossed the key ring behind a stack of boxes waiting to be carried down to the basement. And then adjusting her apron, she sailed back to her duties. mentally reviewing what would be needed to erase all signs of Prince in the Governor’s chambers.
Probably not. I am sure AA has their own version. But, I imagine that it would have much of the same information on it. So this form slides into history, a tiny bit of the greatness that was Salter Street. 🙂 A historical oddity if you will. 🙂
Naw, although I did once get a copy of the Salter Street submission form from one of our members, just incase someone ever needed it. ;D
[url]http://www.thefrey.com/saltersteetsubmissionform.htm[/url]
Alas poor Salter Street, we loved thee well.
It must also give him strange dreams. ;D Since he is not sleeping really sound to start with, and then the tv intrudes into his subconsious. And he sometimes wakes up with !!! what !! wild eyes, looks around… oh, I was asleep.
[quote=”ZevofB3K”] To thefrey: Hey, so what if there’s only one? Fanfiction.net only has 51 Lexx fics. I’d like to read it if you ever decide to post it somewhere.[/quote]
It is here, on page two of the Original Fiction. In honor of your interest I posted the next section.
Actually, it is almost done… but I had a chapter get corrupted when transfering it from work to home…. Sigh…. the thought of rewriting it sucks too much to bear. 😀 Which is how I KNOW I could never make it as a real writer! 😀 😆
Some one was halking a writers tip disk at DC2004. One of the first (number 3 actually) bits of advice was this.
[quote]Pro’s Tip: Fight “Writer’s Spread.” The job requires
a LOT of sitting and a lot of brain work, which usually
translates into a ravenous writer at the end of a
session, then more sitting, which makes for a wide
butt. Make sure you get exercise. Put on some disco
music and be silly for three minutes or so just to get
your blood moving!Food. Keep a big bowl of fresh raw veggies ready
in the fridge and munch on them while you hammer
out the chapters. They’re good for you and you can
eat a lot of them with fewer “side” effects.
[/quote]You just can’t get enough writers tips like that! 😉
[quote]If anyone can think of a background for this[/quote]
Perhaps back lit around the edges with a subdued star field? hummmm, something Lexx? I am only coming up with space, space and more space themes….
Kai backlit by a moon, with Zev against the dark of space?
*theFrey thumbs through the Sadgeezer rule book*
Hummm, Good news! There is nothing in the rules that prevents you from creating regular posts!
Just though you would like to know. 😉
Ah, but I have my one and only Lexx fic (that started as a game with Jade) RL has not let me finish… which is a real prob since I know how it ends, I just have no time.
Why? The first two sections moved along fast enough. If it wasn’t for the fact that 4:30 occurs [b]very[/b] early in the morning I would continue. 🙂
I do like Prince… he always has had such potential.
ah well, a vallient effort none the less. I hope you enjoyed your self anyhow.
Good luck on the exams.
No sorry, missed it. 😀 theSpouse is not big on porn, except for what appears on showtime while he is sleeping in front of the tv.
Of course to be fair, he also wakes up to spanish variety shows and religious programing. Which is what happens when you change channels in your sleep.
[quote=”Headgehog”]As for President Priest, I think that he made a good parody of Dubya. Remember that this episode was written before 9/11 when the president was behaving (even more) like an incompetent dofus. It’s difficult to see today, since the public perception of his inability to lead, has shifted toward his other failures. Besides Priest was sort of a dim-witted yes-man back on Fire, why should that have changed?[/quote]
Do you know that Mr. Kanies has played George Bush in two other german productions? Apparently, we were not the only ones who thought his proformance oF DubaU was spot on.
Hummm, the same actor has played multiple versions of Hitler and Georgie…. I am sure there is a lesson in that somewhere.
No, of course not. Anyhow, when she laid that zinger on him about how he is the ONLY asassin unable to feel emotion, that opened up entirely new avenues of thought.
If other asassins can feel emotion, what do they think? And… can something that is not part and parcel of the whole asassin makeup but rather an add-on to the conditioning that Kai received be reversed?
Almost made it Tony. 😀 Only one evening down that I can tell.
But…. by is the site loading so slow? Is it just this evening, or is something in need of tweaking?

Hummmm, so season 1 Kai would be +12, season 2 Kail would be +10, season 3 Kai would be 8 and Season 4 Kai would be 6?
I could live with that. 🙂
I wonder how you will set sex appeal for Kai. Dispite his complete avowed disinterest, he still had a powerful attraction for many females in the Lexx Universe. 😆 +12 anyone?
There are lots of good fan fics on the net. I am trying to read a few Lexx fics myself at the moment…. but RL is a b*tch ya know. 😀
But… on the plus side, my editing is going well. My battle against theEvilMayorLady is going okay, and…. the home improvement projects with theSpouse have not yet resulted in divorce papers being filed and we have lights in the living room again!!! 😀
Good luck to all our authors. 🙂
Cool Beans! How great for you and how nice to think of Saddy’s 😀 I hope that took some good shots of you. Please those of us who won’t be seeing it, know how it goes. 🙂
Yes.
Even MMM Twack said that he played a charter that was simply annoying. There were a quite a few funny bits. I particularly loved the off hand way he said he would be dedicating his very being to this role for the next six months….. pause… unless he got an extension. 😆
Word is that he kinda went over the top on a few things, but they were not necessarily cut out so as not to aggravate the fans, but rather the show was just too darn long.
I submitted us and fixed the links on the above post in case anyone else wants to submitts us again just to be sure.
Exporting engineers? I doubt it. It is one thing to have to relocate from one state to another, or even one side of the country to the other. But another country? Very few people will up and move their family to a foreign country.
Therefore, you get to say, well this was a relocation and they were welcome to come if they like. Owww, how wonderful for us, since we did not lay off this person or fire them, we don’t have to pay severance or unemployment insurance. After all, it is not OUR fault they don’t want to move their family to an asian rim country.
We are not exporting their job, they were welcome to trust their family’s future that we would do right by them in a country with even less labor laws that the US has. Shame about those kids in high school trying to get ready for college. If they were really worried about them staying on track scholastically, they could have boarded them with a family member or friend. May we have our taxes back now, since we are now a foreign based company?
