It was a pretty good movie.
So good in fact. I will most likely go see it again. The last Disney movie I liked this much was The Littlest Mermaid.
Agreeded. Perhaps it is a good thing that he has lived so long. Apparently he needs the time to work thru his issues.
One would think that living long enough, one would eventually grow to understand what they are looking for in a spouse…. and how to avoid those little pot-hole of domestic discord like…. adultery. Even theSpouse wondered about that one. He said, "geeze, it’s not like the guy isn’t going to out live her. And even then, he will be young enough to get another looker."
Emperor Palpatine of Star Wars of course.
But this was funny too. Ever wonder what Storm Troopers did after the rebels won? Oh, the company they are keeping now. Check this link out. 😉

So did theSpouse. He watched it last week at the hotel while I was visiting some GF’s. Of course, we were going to watch it together, but he was bored and not inclined to wait on my schedule.
‘sokay. He said just wait until the next time we go away and charge it to his card.
What I am really waiting to see this weekend is the new SHREK. 😀
What can I say, I am a sucker for large eyed kitty cats. Puss Rules!No! Well that does suck. I also liked Freakazoid!
Hummm, perhaps I sould check youtube and see if they have any Wayland and Madame clips. 🙂
Very Funny. I have spent the last week in Pittsburgh looking for a new house, perhaps that makes me less bitter about being stranded in Texas. 😉
😀 😀 😀 😀 Only one year, nine months and twenty four days left til I can move! 😀 😀 😀 😀
Logan’s Run. One of the few things I enjoyed about moving to Texas was getting to go look at the fountains featured in the end of the movie.
Now, now now. As I am sure you have noticed we have serveral things going on with all the postings and replys.
Besides, sci-fi is serious stuff. ;D

He most likely is just someone who started to go grey early. I know he was getting his roots touched up towards the end of season 4. So he had at least started then.
bonnee wrote:MMM Twack. Um, what does that mean please?
Mister Michael McManus The wonderful actor characterizing Kai.
Funny you should ask, MMM Twack is my response to a vicious troll attack against another poster who had the nerve to use his last name with out an honorific. What were they thinking? It was pretty sad really. Calling him Michael would get you jumped (depending on who YOU were) for being too familiar, calling him McManus was declared to be addressing him like a servant or minion. On certain boards and with certain people you really could not win, no matter how you referred to him. So I decided to cover ALL the bases; formal, respectful, descriptive. No problem right?
Ummm, no. I ended up getting jumped on for satirizing the jumpees by being overly cautious. Some days ya just can’t win. 😀 Ah well.
bonnee wrote:speaking of trolling – I blame season 4. 😛
Well perhaps, but I found that tag team trolling was well established when I first joined the boards prior to season 4. Like I said just blame Canada. Oh! Or better, let’s blame Bush!

I blame Canada.
Oh wait. That’s a song title.
One of the main things that an actor has to be able to do is network like a bad dog. Your best networkers are not moody or withdrawn, tendencies which MMM TWACK admits to in previous interviews.
Also, Mr. Donovan said that as a general rule directors/producers like to work with people they already know. Mainly, because it is easier for them. I imagine as an actor, this could be a problem if your main directors slow down, or move in a direction that doesn’t call for much talent usage.
Seriously, a lot of people shy away from commenting about anything concerning MMM Twack. Heck, just discussing his height opened posters up to Trolls and Flaming. God forbid you should discuss anything of substance. The world as we know it may come to an end. 😉
Hello Back At Ya. 😀
I am also a big fan in the states. I wish they would have gone ahead and made that movie, but I guess that is finally a dead deal. 🙁
Dedicated. 😀
I have not seen that promo. I wonder if it was just a little nothing that the station came up with that never made it back to Salter Street.
I think we need a GWBush version of ‘Peter’s Evil Overlord List’
You know some simple bullet (ha) point list of things that GW has learned and the next Bush (Jeb?) can use so that his total domination of the world runs a little smoother.
Although I do think they could list one or two from the main list. Had Bush followed even these few, his domination plans would have gone much smoother.
12. One of my advisors will be an average five-year-old child. Any flaws in my plan that he is able to spot will be corrected before implementation.
24. I will maintain a realistic assessment of my strengths and weaknesses. Even though this takes some of the fun out of the job, at least I will never utter the line “No, this cannot be! I AM INVINCIBLE!!!”
37. If my trusted lieutenant tells me my Legions of Terror are losing a battle, I will believe him. After all, he’s my trusted lieutenant.

But I’m sure they would dismiss such a point by claiming the hard-cover versions are the traditional first editions of almost every book, at least in the academic and intellectual fields.
Well it also use to be traditional that wife’s and children were the property of the head of the household, oh and that dumping waste in a stream use to be the traditional way of getting rid of industrial by-products. 🙂
Times change. Hug a tree and print a paperback.
It is kind of hard to pop a book in your pocket or purse or read it in bed if the freaking thing is a huge honking hunk-o-dead tree.
Also, concussing your sleepy customers with a 5lb slab of book can be dangerous. I have wacked my self in the head several times over the years by drifting off when reading in bed. Heck, Shogun nearly took me out permanently when it fell out of my hands.
If not a safety issue, perhaps they need to make it an environmental one. Think of all the trees they could save by not catering to some writer/editor ‘my books in hardback’ ego.
Hummmm….. where can I find me a shyster lawyer with time on his hands, or a tree nut with a gun would be better……
Posts sucking bandwidth? Naw…. pictures suck bandwidth, illegal linking sucks bandwidth. Posts, no matter how long, are a mere blip on the bandwidth scale.
This is why men should not go in their wife’s purse… errr computer… errr BOTH!
Poor Holly. Bad Hubby! Bad I say!
Well, I have just purchased ten boxes of Christmas Cards for next year, packed them in the clearly marked wrapping and christmas card box and sent it back out to it’s shelf in the garage.
I’m ready for next year…. are you?
Muhahahahaha!
This space intentionally filled with sappy rambling text.
On this day of days, I of course like to reflect upon my blessings for the year.
TheSpouse made it thru his little broken leg incident okay.
TheBrother did not get fired for being a terminal irritation, but rather was promoted and given a raise. (go figure?!?)
TheFather and theFatherGF are both happy and healthy… even if they do open their presents way ahead of time, which means I have to send more of them. 😛
TheStepFather is doing well and really, really likes the boxes and boxes of heat patches I sent for his back. (the jury is still out on the microbead back warmer for bedtime)
TheMechanicEmployee passed relativity peacefully in his sleep after a very short time. Arrangements made, enabled him not to worry about his finances, both during and afterwards. We all appreciate the fact that it could have been much worse for him and his family. TheOtherEmployees are doing well.
TheFamily endured no drama this year. Let’s hear it for boredom!
TheFriends are all doing well, no drama there either.
Rover the Cat, Noche the Retired Warehouse Cat and theStupidSpouseDog are all doing well. TheSpouseDog Blaze is particularly spry after his operation this summer. Still round mind you, but spry. 😉
Here is hoping that next year is as good, if not better.
🙂
Hopefully the ones that didn’t get it were family members. After all they are, what they are. We don’t get to choose, we just love them anyhow.
If they were freinds…. you might want to upgrade a few of them in the ‘Smartz’ department. 😆
Geeeze Tony, you should be proud. I put in a ton of terms, some of which are quite well know, and nothing came up for them.
*** All hail the Head ‘geezer! ***
Sadly for Santa (and theSpouse) I could not think of anything I wanted (outside of a winning lottery ticket) that I do not already have, or could not get if I wanted it.
Sucks…. Warm nightgowns and fluffy comforters are about the extent of my wish list this year. Pathetic I know… usually my list comes with a set of specs at least a page long. ; 😀
I love the Norad site. 😀 When I was a kid the local radio station would announce when Santa had been spotted heading into the Ontario area of Canada. That was bedtime for those of us in Buffalo. I discovered the Norad site a few years ago, and have made a pest of myself announcing it in #Lexx on fef.net. 😀
Blade Runner did not follow the original story very closely. Normally for me, that is a kiss of death. But…. it was stylish, tight and over all worked with the story line changes that were made. It was one of the better Sci-fi movies I have ever seen. 😀
ah, so you have already experienced that heady feeling of power and freedom.
Sigh….. those were the days.
Songs that match their seasons. Am I the only one who likes to have seasonal mood songs?
I guess I am not much of a spring person, since this is the one season I don’t automatically think of any certain song when I think about that season. But… if I do think about it a minute, I guess I would have to go with the Eurythmics and their song, Here Comes The Rain Again.
Summer – Luke Skywalker And Indiana Jones – Phil Pritchett. This one reminds me of being tossed out of the house in the summer time and thinking up the weirdest things to entertain our selves.
Windows
Real player fileFall – Forever Autumn – Jeff Wayne
This is a perfect fall song. All of the visuals totally compliment the music and make me feel like it is a cool fall day with a hint on rain forecast for the evening.
Windows Media file
Real Player fileWinter – Hazy Shade Of Winter – The Bangles. You can’t really tell it from the sample here, but the lead in to the song, is so totally after Thanksgiving with snippletts of the salvation army kettle bells. The way they use to be, when real bell ringers did them, not as they are now with part time temps. ( I liked this song when Simon and garfunkle did it, but now… I can’t even listen to their version.)

Remake? Sci-fi Original? Can something be both?
Heck, any more, anything that the Sci-fi channel does is automaticially not original. 😉
So. How are yours coming MuadDib? Did you find some heavy card stock to pring them on? Or are you just going to do what I normally do and get extra heavy weight paper and do a four fold?

For the next show I want to talk about the Girl Genius Comic by Phil Foglio and his lovely wife. the Girl Genius’ tag line is it is an ongoing “gaslamp fantasy” story Girl Genius follows the career of Agatha Heterodyne—a hapless student at Transylvania Polygnostic University who discovers that she has more going for her than she thought. Agatha Clay, discovers that she is a young Mad Scientist (or “Spark” to be polite.)
What is Gaslamp Fantasy you ask? According to theFoglio’s, it has influences that include Jules Verne and H. Rider Haggard. It is also called “steampunk.” It has big, clanking Victorian-style tech, old-fashioned clothes, Frankenstein monsters and airships. Lots and lots of airships. It’s not exactly magic. It’s not exactly science. It is a little of both, it’s Mad Science!
*********Spoilers *****
Agatha is also the last of the famous Heterodyne family—beloved heroes who disappeared under mysterious circumstances many years ago. Her Father Bill, was one of the Heterodyne Boys. Her mother Lucrezia is the daughter of one of the most powerful villian’s of their day. But all have disappeared. Folk legend claims that they will someday return, but so far they haven’t managed it.
They left Agatha in the care of two constructs, Punch and Judy who raised her as their own. Until the Baron scooped her up by accident and took her to his flying ‘Hindenberg-like’ castle. They are currently running two tracks. The beginning of the story

And the current story
http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/cgi-bin/ggmain.cgiHummm, smooth seams, decent drape, crisp edges. **theFrey rummages around for a marker and paper***
I give it a good solid 8!
This coming from some one who use to do SCA costumes, really expensive tea dresses for children and has stood next to Wade and his Lexx and Pirates of the Caribbean creations.
Well done.
Lexxverse? Fourth time is a charm. 😉
Mega-Con will be in Florida. I knew that, but from the people telling me about the California con, there possibly was a bit of confusion there. This link has a lot of the info missing from the front page. https://protected6.purehost.com/d30063092/ordering.asp
If you go there, make sure you check out Vito’s Chop House which is beside the Castle Double Tree Hotel. It was very nice. I was seated with an entire table full of male Lexxians and I don’t think I have ever seen such blissful expressions in my life. They were in protein heaven. 😀 http://www.vitoschophouse.com/
You mean to tell me that I spent the most boring hour of my life watching BSG this week for nothing!
The tradgedy, the humanity…….

Slash Mandara? You naughty, naughty girl! 😉
Any idea what kind of show it might have been? Was it something that someone else pointed out to you?
I wish Mandara, Actually what I wish is that I was on MuadDib’s christmas card list. Very nice with the revised front cover. 😀
Sadly, I already have about 40 or so of my box cards signed, stamped and addressed. So that is what every one is getting. Deal. 😉
How freaking halarious! This is great. Make the back graphic smaller (1/4 size?) so it takes them a moment to notice the joke and it would be perfect.
Lots of people went, but not sure if anyone from here did. Apparently one of the major Russian sites was offered a lot of exclusive stuff from that year, but I understand there were conditions and things attached, so we may or may not see that. Ah well. Perhaps he will join Xenia in Orlando this February.
