divine executioners gone wild? Perhaps S4 only showed us the dowdy version, perhaps this is what the *trendy* executioners wore.
You can send them to me for right now. After we decide what (if any 😀 ) that sad wants, I will pop them up in his own sadgeezer store or just transfer them to him…. I think I remember where I stashed my server password. 😀
[quote=”Scaletrix”] I’m surprised that he has dealt with you with such good humour and personally think you owe him an apology
[/quote]Actually, I don’t. Maurice has been requested several times, by several mods, both through private emails and various posts, not to turn unrelated threads into advertisements for his website or soap boxes for his cause of the week.
Which is why I originally took his post from the Lexx Convention forum and moved it here. Had it not been there, I would not have noticed or responded to it at all.
Maurice, did apologize for forgetting, again, not to turn threads and so here we all are until the next occurence. 🙂

Some of these will need redone, since Sad lost the high res originals.
The finished need to be in .png format at 300 dpi and on a white or transparent background.
Sure, no problem.
Missing the shirt!!!! 😯 My darling, why did you not say something when it didn’t arrive? I purge my postoffice insurance receipts after six months or so. Otherwise they would take over the house.
hummmm, let me think on this. I am sure we can come up with something.
[quote=”Barabbas”]Hey frey, Send some files over my way so I can work my magic again. I’m surprised no one asked me in the first place. BTW still missing a promised shirt[/quote]
Ummm, please look at the top post. I did ask everyone!!!! 😆
Only thing is, for t-shirts, totes ext… it needs a transparent background.Well they only come in this color. So deal with it. 😉
As for simple, what did you have in mind? You don’t have to draw it, but give an idea of graphic, spacing and words.
Oh, and sadly, no thermos. Sigh…..
Hummm, what should the backside of this stuff say?
Sadgeezers Guide to Cult TV Sci Fi ???
Sadgeezers Guide to Cult TV Science Fiction ???
Sadgezers Rule! ???
hummm, just drawing out loud here. 🙂

I’m a ‘geezer, he’s a geezer, she’s a geezer, we’re all geezers, wouldn’t ya like to be a ‘geezer too!
Ajax, print on demand books are very expensive. Not counting the work of formatting, final editing and styling.
I recently printed a POD of one of my favorite online stories for myself and a few friends. For 350ish pages it cost 18.00 for a soft cover 5 x 8, say 4.00 for shipping and tracking. So figure 22.00 for a relatively small book. That is cost alone. The price for a hard backed book is most likely quadrupled.
Now valdron has a book for each season. So it would be 22.00 cost x 4 and that is nothing for the Author.
POD books are great to get what you want, but they are not cheap.
God no, but is is not like I would get to keep it. 🙂 theSpouse got me a LOTR dvd for christmas and I don’t think it was completely unwrapped before theBrother claimed it. 😆
Nope, this site was a bastion of Cult Scifi when I arrived three or four years ago. It was then, and is now, the definitive Lexx site due to the efforts of many Lexxians including the head ones Tony and New Kate.
This site has many forums and I would like the cult Sci-fi ones to stay on topic as much as possible. A lot of people come here to talk about and check up on their favorite shows. For some of us, this is a break from RL where we can kick back and relax.
Well lots of actors do voice overs, so that is definately a possibility.
And, hopefully, no one would go to a play being done by an actor and scream “Spock!!!” 🙂 Or, whatever ;D
Welcome to our happy little group Scaletrix. 🙂
Actually, I manage to ignore him fairly well for months on end, and only notice him at all when he attempts to twist an unrelated thread to his own agenda. Oh, or sends me an email offering me media accreditation. Now I must admit, that was a bit suprising since I would think it was apparent that I wish nothing to do with his crusade.
I myself am into activism, spend many hours, evenings and days a month working on it and indeed have a whole website devoted towards it. But, as committed as I am to it, I do not attempt to beat everyone *here* over the head with it, since this is neither the time nor the place.
Last I looked, this was a Cult SciFi board. I have no objections to people wanting to save the world. I just wish they would do it without posting off topic. 😉
[quote=”Fatguy”]I had to sleep on this reply before making it [/quote]
Yes, I imagine you did. 😆
[quote=”Fatguy”]I don’t know what “poorly laid out web pages” have to do with accreditations, but the fortressoffreedom web pages are simple so as to load on any computer from 386 up the the most advanced wireless handheld or phone with internet capability. Load times are under one second for all critical pages so it is functional under problematic dial-up in third world nations.[/quote]
Poorly laid out has to do with the slap dash way the whole thing is being done, which I would extend to your offering to give *accreditation* to others. As I mentioned earlier, you have no depth of background in the realm of journalism, and therefore your offer to extend this recognition to others is frankly a joke.
Oh, and it is possible to do web pages that work on mulitple platforms without them looking the way yours do on every single system. But again, that would take effort and dedication.
[quote=”Fatguy”]A “global citizen” does not need any accreditation to be a journalist – it is their right as a citizen (and certainly not from the government) [/quote]
Most accreditation is received from a group of ones peers. It is their job to weed out the charlatans. ’nuff said there. 🙂
[quote=”Fatguy”]I may be a “fruitloop”…..but I do not have a printer….. 😆 [/quote]
I think perhaps now would be a good time to add the prefix of pompous to your title of fruitloop. 😛
[quote=”Fatguy”]Maurice Ali – A man who signs his statements with his real name.[/quote]
And usually follows it up with a shot of his butt. So ‘Fatguy’ is your middle name?
TheFrey
Who always used her real name, and only changes it to another version of the same when her ISP screws up her account. 😉 You guys will of course excuse me, if I do not follow this up with a shot of *my* butt. I cannot be responsible for striking anyone blind. 😆No, he does not have his own website.
No certain theatre that anyone has heard of, but he was briefly mentioned in a play in Canada last year. Unfortunately, before the show opened, he was no longer listed as a cast member.
Last I heard, several weeks ago, he was still in Toronto.
So there is still hope springing eternal that he might be in some future Canadian production. 🙂
Nope, it just makes you an annoying whiner who craves attention.
*theFrey looks around the board* Whelp people, I think we have let Maurice vent as much as we need to on this topic. I suggest we all wait and see what next raises his ire.
I for one look forward to seeing it in this thread or one similarly named in this forum, and not randomly scattershot through every other topic on this board.
I am not being too subtle for you am I?
Very nice Maurice, you are catholic. So am I, big whoop. I looked through FX’s post and saw no where that she indicated that you were not.
She stated her wish that they be inconvenienced the same as she was, and also her wish that you spend some time bleating at them to moderate their very visible antisocial behavior instead of beating us over the head with it all the time.
Oh and final point, FX is not a global citizen, she is an American citizen, and a good one at that. She is in a job that is socially needed, she is productive, she is politically active ect….
Apparently a good global citizen is required to offer bogus media accreditation to people who just happen to have some minor writing skills and an active email address? : ) Get a clue.
You need something more than a poorly laid out web page to be able to give out accreditations. Now, should you wish to spend several years gathering writers, who do insightful pieces that are held to the highest standards of journalism that would be a start. Then you could gather a following that includes some real journalist leaders, and only then would you may be in a position to join an accredited writing group and offer media accreditation to your contributors. Right now? You are just a fruit loop with a printer and your accreditation is not worth the paper it is printed on.
I think it is suppose to be an Kai Kitty ‘Collar’ like version of the neck and front of the Kai outfit. ;D
I want to know how Stan Kitties pocket patches stay on! Yow!
Info straight from the land a pointy hats tell us that there was a mix-up with the webhost billing. apparently it went to the wrong/bad address. This was corrected and Dr. Fred’s Office lady said it should be up in the next few days.
Now this is just disturbing 😆 what on earth was the person drawing this on that day? 😀 http://lexxcrazy.boom.ru/arc/lexx_ua.jpg
But this one is hysterical. http://lexxcrazy.boom.ru/arc/tongue2.jpg
Congratulations to Scifi Suzy. Ms. Dubin has named her site as the *official* Ellen Dubin site. [url]http://scifisuzi.com/ellendubin/[/url]
Please check it out.
Hummm, what about this one?
[size=18]Sadgeezer.com the most fun you can have on the net with out the Fed’s seizing your computer[/size]
I have seen parts of this seveal times. theSpouse *will* turn on the strangest stuff and then ignore it. It is terrible, corny, cheap and silly.
And your objections to the finger printing and picture policy has what to do with Dragon Con?
While I don’t know or care about your *potential* problems with the border partrol, I will point out to you that the finger printing and picture taking are not limited to visitors to this fair land. Many, many banks also do this to fight fraud (v. annoying since I doubt very much if it is ever used until AFTER the fact) and even some stores are starting it, when you make a v. large purchase using a credit card.
[quote=”Xev69″][color=green][/color] just been reading the message board and wondering still, what the date is for DragonCon2004. I would really enjoy going this year if work permits .[/quote]
Well I will tell you the two years I have been to DragonCon have been a total blast. With of course last year being just wonderful.
As Jehvz told you this DC 2004 is taking place Friday, September 3th through Monday Sept. 6th, 2004 in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. Most of the information you need has been gathered here. [url]http://www.thefrey.com/UsCon.htm[/url]
The main hotels are the Hyatt and the marriott, which are a bit pricy, but there are other overflow hotels of course which will have convention shuttle service to the main venue. How convenient this shuttle service is, I have no idea. Perhaps someone can give us the low down on it. 😀
The Hyatt is the party hotel where the forums are held during the day and the best people watching takes place at night. The Marriott is the nicer hotel and all the Vendor/Exhibition/Guest stuff occurs at.
I have stayed at both, and will be staying this year again at the Marriott. It was very convenient during the day. They have a convention rate for both hotels of about 145.00 a night, BUT you have to reserve by phone, their web sites don’t have the DragonCon discount programmed in. At least they didn’t last year.
Last year the we had a free fan table in the marriott lobby, and that seemed to work out pretty good. It gave us Lexxian ‘geezers somewhere to congregate and also seemed to become a depository for stuff the people who were hoteled off site did not want to carry all day. 😀 Hummm, perhaps we should look into renting locker space under our table. 😀 Might be a good way to raise funds for other Lexx activities. 😉 Naw, but it is a nice place to rest and chat and get to know your lexx buddies during the day.
Many thanks to iStan who is just got another 11 tickets from the Lexx Raffle Fund 2003. Only 195 tickets left to go and then I can start to concentrate on 2004! 😆
[url]http://www.thefrey.com/raffle.htm[/url]Where was this during Halloween? I love this. http://lexxcrazy.boom.ru/crazypics/archetype.htm
the Russians strike again. ;D
fourty-five minutes too long. Several scenes were lingered over till I was like “okay already, we get it, great shot, now please move it along.”
theSpouse Agrees. Although he thought more than an hour could have been lopped off with no harm done to the pic.
Are you sure that is not the day you re-gift something and hope you don’t get boxed for sending it to the person who gave it to you ast year?
Well Santa was very good to me, but then I was, as always on the good list.
Possibly the nicest thing I got was not mine. TheSpouse got a new laptop. and since I knew he would get bored with it in six months, I decided to step up and get him a nice Sony. ;D
My lamest thing? A highly scented candle was amongst the stuff I received from theFather, why I have no clue. He knows I will not leave a naked flame unatendend even for a minute…. and I have perfume alergies. But it does look pretty, and has a lid to seal in all that nasty perfume. ;D
The Best thing I * actually * got was a power point presentation from theLittlestNeice in Uk- land.
There were of course many other pressies from theFather, thespouse, theFamily and theCo-workers, so you could say a good haul was had by one and all.
Thebrother was particularly pleased when theFather and I bought him a plane ticket for DraconCon 2004 and theSpouse bought him his convention ticket.
So, Merry Christmas from theFrey and theFamily to all theSadgeezer’s out there. 😀
And you had some expectation of finding that under your tree?
Dear Santa,
Please change the laws and governance of Canada so that * I * can do exactly what * I * want, exactly when * I * want it.
And you didn’t get it?? Hummm, you must not have been on the good list this year then. 🙂
And happy holidays to you and your family also.
Who knows, somepeople dream of a cyberspace where every 10th poster is not a ill mannered wanker. Perhaps this new year they may work towards acheiving it.
Me? I dream of winning lottery tickets and the chance to be a full time thorn in the mayor’s side. 😀
I find it best to just accept that they are morons and breath deeply until the impulse to kill their programming staff passes.
iStan spotted this write up on Ellen Dubin in the Tronto Star
I assure you the world will NOT come to an end if one reads the plot/twist or whatever of an episode they have not seen. Honest.
If the only thing keeping you interested in the show is the “what happens next” you aren’t that in to it. What about after you see that ep? Does that mean you will never watch it again?
I read all of Tony’s reviews before I saw 70 percent of Lexx. Didn’t make a dent in my enjoyment. After all, most of use know at least the plot lines of all the Bard’s stuff and we still go see movies and plays of his work.
IMHO
When did we promise this? I don’t recall.
Dudelove was an annoying prat, but perhaps it learned its lesson. 😉
Awwww, Tony. Why don’t you let Pet or me set you up a Cafe Press site. Or do one your self since they take like no time once you have the designs. They do all the work and you get a cut of each item sold.
It would be NO…. repeat NO money out of your pocket. and… we could have contests to come up with the designs. Might be a nice traffic booster.
Pretty Please. I can see it now, going to work proud with my Sadgeezer lunch box.
Anzac Day is held on 25 April each year to commemorate Australians and New Zealanders killed in war and to honour returned servicemen and women. The ceremony itself has been continually adapted to the times, but has also steadily acquired extra layers of symbolism and meaning.
Origins – ANZAC is the acronym for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, the formation created in December 1914 by grouping the Australian Imperial Force and New Zealand Expeditionary Force stationed in Egypt under the command of Lieutenant-General William Birdwood. Initially the term ‘Australasian Corps’ had been mooted for this force, but there was a reluctance among both Australians and New Zealanders to lose their separate identities completely.
And no, I did not know this off the top of my head. ;D Isn’t the internet wonderful?
Well of course not. DC most recent configuration has been building for 15 years. All events have to start somewhere, and grow. 🙂
Did anyone go last year?
I would wonder what the various venues were like. Since it takes place in two (?) cinemas the only places available for stuff like that would be the lobbies. I saw something about having gaming in one of the lobbies… but I did not see who to contact about other stuff. Do they even have information tables set up?
Oh yeah, the magizine is SFX – Nov 2003 – pg 14, and so far the other news on her show is that is should be out spring/ summer of 2004 in Canada,
Really, that is odd, I normally am logged in there between 6 – 10 Central standard time several nights a week.
BeBop, it was a group of people who wrote lexx clone fiction and some other stuff.
My understanding is that the group imploded due to strident differences between the members.
Like most groups it included some very nice people and unfortunately some persistently not nice people. Which of course attracted some negative attention to the whole group.
Brit sci-fi is a good idea. I know I don’t go to those forums, but if there was more traffic I might post even if it was not MY show. There is a lot of cross over between shows. Well except for the Farcescape, which no one will admit to liking….. J/K (maybe) 😉
