Don't know if anyone is interested in going, but tix for Equus with Dan Radcliffe are on sale now, according to danradcliffe.com

HAPPY HALLOWEEEEEEN everyone!! 

Puddingdale and I are going to celebrate the day watching Snow Cake, after Sherlock Pudd has successfully found a cinema where it is shown in the original English version, not the unsufferable German dubbing. Hehehehe...

Almost forgot!

Happy halloween everyone!

Be safe! No trick-or-treating

for me, have to work.

Hey Dumpy-

Love the pumpkins!

Yes, it snows in GA.

Well, at least where I am.

I'm in NE Ga in the mountains.

It's not heavy snow. In fact there

are some years we only get about

1 or 2 ft deep. or simply just flurry's.

As long as it's deep enough to get

my sled out! Hooooooaaahhh!!!!

I was afraid if I gave out my email I would get a million back, and most of them what I don't want to hear.     Email

pumkins?!?!?!?!?

`````````` Guess what this is (hint: it's not a layer cake)  HAPPY HALLOWEEN! -- Dumpy

Nicketynick, it snows in GA?!? well, you're a ray of sunshine! just what I needed.   (I was foolish enough to watch a story about treating wounded soldiers last night.  I was thinking, if war is so awful, why do people start them, stay in them, and not end them?!? there's seems to be something more important than peace.) end of rant.

When the snow comes, I'm hibrinating. 

Tomorrow, October 31, is Halloween!!!, night of all hallows. Try

to have a good time everyone!  

Ah,winter....

Gotta love it. A fireplace, a glass

of Brandy, a comfy rug, a good Alan

movie. Who could ask for more?

Well, I guess I could, but I won't. *snicker*

I hope it snows this year. Perhaps a mouthful

of snowcould make it better. LOL

Hello!

I'd say that English Settlement and Skylarking would definitely be best bets, although I even liked the Jules Verne and Bull stuff.  It is so infectious!  If you hear it, you then crave it I guess.
 
Don't know about the cover artist.  There are three different people listed for 'cover design' and then they mention it is Milton Glaser - inspired. 

PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE KIDDING!!! I can't believe it!! See...remember what I told you about my being able to "read" people!!! The "Test for Echo" tour was summer of '96 to July '97, and then Neal's daughter died in Aug.'97 and then his wife died in Jan or Feb '98. The tour before "Test For Echo" WAS the Counterparts tour!

ROTFL...I can't believe it!!!

OMG, Carolyn, no way! I am a huge Rush fan too. One of the best concerts I ever saw was them at Riverport in St. Louis. Hmmm, it was after "Counterparts"......"Test for Echo" maybe?? I am usually teased for being into that band.

Hi everybody,

If you're interested in the first part of my holiday report about my trip to Rajasthan in September (with two short clips)

See my live journal http://chalebh.livejournal.com/25618.html

LG Chalebh

ROTFL.....I am such a huge huge Rush geek fan, it's embarrassing! When they toured in 1996, my son & I did the "Grateful Dead" thing...followed them around for six concerts in the Northeast! Oh God, I can't believe I just admitted that!

Em-- Did I marry your ex by chance? Well if I did, I divorced him so he's free again!! My XH was a major music nut also (mostly jazz and some odd 70s progressive stuff as well as complete collections of groups like Rush and Genesis). He wasn't the biggest XTC fanatic, but he was a good fan and I did get him to burn a copy of "Oranges & Lemons" and "Nonsuch" as part of the divorce agreement!!

I have spent a fair amount of time at Chalkhills.org actually. Mostly reading the lyrics and the bits of info Andy and Colin wrote about the songs. I even went to the "official" XTC site, but not a lot there. BTW, do you know if Peter Max did the artwork for L&O? I can't find anything about the artwork for that album and I only have a scanned copy of the cover for myself.

I think I need to get "Skylarking" because everyone says that was their best. But I wonder if "English Settlement" is also worth it just because I'm wearing out Youtube with watching the Senses video. Wish they had a video collection DVD, or even a straight greatest hits. Actually wish I could get my hands on the video for "King for a Day."

Feel free to email me if this is getting tedious at the AR board!

me again:

have you seen that www.yahoo.com has on the main titles "The making of Harry Potter"?

nutty-as-a-fruitcake!

OK.  I lived with one of the world's leading authorities on the man and the band.  My ex is a true audiophile.  He has no vices beyond collecting music (literally thousands of CD's that he listens to alllll the time in rotation) and he worships Andy and the lads.  I was treated at length to tidbits from who 'Holly' is to the dual meaning of 'pink thing' to the fact that Andy was originally slated to score the Disney musical James and the Giant Peach.

He owns everything from the XTC discs to the singles to the collection of videos to all little side projects, like the Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego soundtrack, as XTC recorded a wonderful little pop song called 'Cherry in Your Tree' for it (since Dave Yazbek was producing). 

Ex even belong(ed) to an Andy Partridge US fan club that mailed out cassettes and stuff, so he owns Jules Verne's Sketchbook and Bull with the Golden Horn.  Yes, ex has a music addiction, but - hey!  It doesn't hurt anyone and I had a lot of fun enjoying a private music library comparable to no none.  He's "ex", now, but I still get to raid his archives to load my iPod.  Good ex, that.

If you haven't already seen it, I think you'd really enjoy the Chalkhills fan site.  If wikipedia whetted you're appetite, you're in for a real treat - especially the FAQ section. 

http://chalkhills.org/

Hoorah! I love this! I can't wait for

stuff like this! I'm always on the look-out

for *Potter* things for my niece, but little

does she know my REAL motivation.

Maybe because it's Friday night, maybe because

it's the good stout I hold in my hand, whatever

the reason: I've had some great chat and giggles

on THIS site! I would like to take this moment to say,

that I feel this a wonderful, fun-loving, wicked, sassy,

nutty-as-a-fruitcake-,crazy-as-a-loon, be-who-you-wanna,

not-give-a damn kind of group! And I extend the BIGGEST

of hugs to all! You guys are great! Now, if you'll excuse me,

I have to watch Galaxy Quest. A most intillectual, and

mind-boggling film.*snicker,snort*

Cheers!

Soon I'll be gone for a little while things are beginning to get tense around here, the mice will play, you know. Once things here are under control again, I'll pop back in. Don't forget! try to have fun doing all those things we here too like to do, it's so great! and next door, too.  Hope there aren't too many visitors! I'd rather not keep a lot of goodies on hand. So, have fun googleing you know -- maybe I'll miss his visit, and I'll find a note. Argg! maybe I'll leave a camera!!  ! 

  Enjoy the toothy one, put him in your pie before he bites!

I ordered mine today,from mugglenet

Is Snape loyal to DD, is Snape loyal to Voldemort or is he loyal to only himself. Will Snape live, will he die. All i know is ALAN BETTER BE PLAYING HIM.

Em-- Okay...it's more like pretty damn smitten. A man who is musically gifted, wit and humor that's sharp as a razor and just a tad bit geeky. He's my dream man. (besides Alan).

Have you read the bio for XTC on Wikipedia? It's amazing. Very indepth. Learned all sorts of things about Andy and the group I didn't know.

Ah, yes.  The estimable Mr. Partridge.  He's pretty heavenly!  No shame in that.

Rickimam, how nice of you to say that we're wonderful with the smiley next door.  (Some of these women are lightning fast with posting AR items!, true)

Emptee---I'm about half in love with Andy Partridge, personally. He's so damn cute in the "Senses Working Overtime" video. And he's wickedly funny and clever and thought provoking. I can't get enough of their music.

SnoKat -

I had to delurk to share the love.

Andy Partridge is the best!  Can't beat XTC! 

Ohhhh, good stuff . . .

Dear God

Thanks for the heads-up!

*scampers off to view some 80's goodness*

*Sorry, I don't have time for dirty little teeny fantasies, or car accidents, or even AR. Halloween's coming and I still have to iron:

FOUR BLACK CAPES!!!!!  why are super-heros to big?!?!?

Snape, Batman, Zorro, Dracula *shivers with fright* and there's....oh yeah, Dumpy wants go to the party as a Runway Fashion Model, so she'll be dressed as a skeleton with a BLACK CAPE...."

I see! LOL! Thanks for that

No biggy. I was cruising next door

yesterday, and saw this post that

said:"Alan Rickman makes me f**king

wet, he's hot , bla,blabla,etc.

I'm only 15, I'll be 16 in Dec."

Pretty goofy stuff. I wouldn't exactly

call it knee-slapping moment in history,

but funky enogh to get a chuckle at this

teenager being so pervy. I think that's about

it, unless somebody else here can remember

something I skipped. Anyroad, Snokat and I

were taking trips back to our teenage years,

celebrity crushes and so on. I think that sums

it up. Looks like Alan has some teenage crushes!

If that won't be much a trouble Nicky 

Marlina-

Would you like to hear the story?

I see... No problem... Thanks, I'm just confused a bit

Marlina-

Sorry dear, I just popped over and it looks

like Samantha's post has been removed.

I'm pretty sure, unless I missed it somewhere. 

Hey Marlina-

Go next door and check it out.

A teenage girl called Samantha

made an interesting post.

It was yesterday, but I'm not sure

how far you'll have to go back.

We've been chuckling. As usual.

Did i miss something??

Samantha?? What post did you guys talkin about??

Snokat-

Tell me about it! I've worn You Tube

out. I don't know about you, but I got

an account there just so I could save all

my favorite videos. There's a nice Alan collection

over there. Found some Jesus & Mary Chain,

Flesh for Lulu,The GoGo's(don't laugh),Psychedelic

Furs, Iggy Pop, and so on, and so on.

I could spend all day over there!

I can't say I wish I looked like I did in those days,

because I'm in better shape now, than I was then.

Go figure. But I love visiting the old days.

You're as young as you feel! And there's nothing

wrong with dating older men. (*cough,uh*) 

Hi Pam,

 Poor you, I had a car accident last year and smashed up my Suzuki.It was the best car I ever owned.I hope that you were not hurt too badly.As an avid reader of CR magazine, and for some strange probably genetic reason I enjoy car shopping!!So if I were going to buy a car, it would probably have to be a Toyota,Honda or Subaru.Although the Ford Focus is also highly rated by CR.Please feel free to email me if you want to chat about car buying.

Oh Nic, I'm even worse. I've been spending a lot of time over at Youtube checking out all the 80s videos over there!! I've been wearing out the video of XTC's "Senses Working Overtime," a group I didn't even discover until college. So that's what goes through my head constantly.  "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, senses working oooooover time..." I just love those modern British bands of the 80s.

Isn't it crazy though....I do feel like I am suddenly a teenager trapped inside a nearly middle aged woman! I just wish my ass looked more teen age!

Pam, i know how you feel and i can tell you honestly i learned a lesson. If you dont mind me being so bold as to say "make sure you check out the safety of the model you buy". I once bought a Chrysler Neon and it had the worst rateing for side impact and front collision and well, let me tell you, i bumber to bumpered someone and wow, the car folded up like an accordian but yet i was barely shaken. And of course i never got my value of the car back and ended up losing about 7000 in the end. Well, now i bought a car that is both ecenomical ( fantastic on gas, as i drive south every winter) and the safety rating is very high for both front and side impact. You can get yourself a great looking car but as you are well aware, safety should come first. Check it out.

Good luck car shopping,,,,, Oh and Honda's (although i drive a Toyota) are great cars ( well up here in Canada) for both those reasons and they look great too.

Pam-

Sorry to hear about your accident. Hope no one was hurt.

Sounds like you made it out ok. Thank goodness for that!

Snokat-

Ah, to be in our 30's is a wonderful thing!

Sometimes I feel like I'm re-living my teenage

years! I caught myself checking out MTV the

other day to see if I could get familiar with any

of the new bands. Needless to say, I was lost. LOL

Still stuck in the 80's I'm afraid.

Wanna sing some Duran Duran with me?

It could be an Alan tribute!

"I'm on the hunt, I'm after you...."

The main question is are you all right, Pam?  A car accident is a very upsetting thing.  Did the other car run the stop sign or did you just not see him?  It happens to the best of drivers.  Since it's been so long since I've had a new car, I couldn't give you any advice on what to buy.  At least the renaissance faire was fun!  Good luck with the new car shopping.

Gee, my bet would be that it was an adult male!! I was never a horny teenager, I'm afraid. Now I did have my major crushes...like Harrison Ford and Sting (yes, a child of the 80s). But sexually I was terrified of men!! NOW I'm a horny thirty something. So I'm paying for it. I just watched a George Clooney/Jennifer Lopez movie just to look at him! Damn....he is pretty. Like Cary Grant.

The horny teenager statement?  Wow, that takes me back.  I remember feeling exactly the same about Tony Curtis as Danny Wilde in The Persuaders (anyone remember that?), and I bet if there'd been a 'Tony Curtis Download Haven' around in those days, I'd have written very similar emotions.

As it is, I'm now a mature, happily married, mother of two.  And no longer think of celebrities in that way. *cough*.

Chris- very true.

Once again, forgot about the

*Potter* thing. Although I do

like the books and flicks.

(people pick on me for that)

Anyroad, I just couldn't help

laughing at the bold statement

that kid made. My goodness-

gracious, if her Mama could hear

her now!

*note* Who wants to take bets that it might

actually be a boy?!

Hey Campers! Check out the

horny teenager we've got next door!

This too much! LOL

Dumpy-You're talkin' my language!

  

Let's get tore-up from the floor-up!



 

Chris- You're quite right!

Almost forgot about that!

In fact it's the ONLY Alan movie

they've got. When the GOF came

out, I was racing to the video store

only to be beaten to it by a 10 yr. old.

I was tempted to swipe it yell: "SCRAM!" 

*snicker,snort*

  

(of course, I wouldn't actually do that)



 

Well, Chris, did you read the livejournal "terms of service". Now, do you understand what I meant when I said "they" (meaning livejournal) have all the power???

Snokat- Congrats on the goodies!

It's hard to get Alan movies in my

neck of the woods. The North Georgia

Mountains isn't exactly a thriving metropolis.

The local video store dosen't have ONE Alan

movie. No kidding. Not even Die Hard.

I either have to drive further away, or order

it. Sad isn't it? 

Aaahhhhh Net Flix. I finally signed up for Net Flix. And bless them...they have Alan movies that I just have not been able to find anywhere (much less at a dumpy rental place in the midwest!). Just yesterday I got my first movie, the Barchester Chronicals (1st half). After that is the 2nd half, then Close My Eyes and Mesmer. They didn't have Judas Kiss (damn it) and NO ONE has the Search for John G.  But I did put down a reserve for when Perfume AND Snowcake come out on DVD. Maybe it isn't owning them, but getting to see them period is wonderful!

And lovely Mr. Slope/Alan circa 1982.....He honestly hasn't changed very much! And he is so wonderfully sleezy!!! If there is anything that could get me to become a regular church goer it would be that up at the pulpit!!!

Snowy is in her happy place.

Go to "livejournal"  .com and see on the bottom of the page these words, "Terms of Service"   Click on those words and you'll get the CONTRACT. Notice the restrictions. Notice the rights LiVEJOURNAL has. Notice the rights you have.

Read your contract ladies and gentlemen!

Read your contract ladies and gentlemen!

Starting to feel like a graveyard

in here. Where did everybody go?

  

Well, I guess other than the stories

and pics next door, there's not much

happening. Although I did find an extended

Snow cake clip on you tube, regarding the

"Scrabble game". ATTENTION! Might be a spoiler!

(just thought I should add that)

It's the first I've seen of it. Maybe I'm a bit behind.

Anywho, LOVE the longer version. More to it.

Oh yes, Die Hard is on. Looks like I have something

to watch with dinner! 



 

Years ago I saw someone's LJ address on their GB and went there, but they got mad. How odd to display the address if it's supposed to be private. Weird.  --

I looked at the contract and it appears that "they" have all the power and the user is basically a sitting duck who can be banned at any time without warning, etc. 

Needless to say, I still don't have a LJ. 

Nicketynick,    much too sexy!

Hey everybody!!   

It's just pure hell being

that attractive. The poor

man can't help it.

Bless his heart.

That's the thing with Alan. He doesn't like the "sex symbol" status that he has, but have you ever seen him NOT be sexy??? He can play the most awful person and even someone who is supposed to be ugly (Rasputin was NOT a good looking guy!!) and still he is hypnotically seductive. He's only got himself to blame for being so irresistible!

Snokat-

Great video. Makes you think doesn't it?

The pics next door just keep getting better!

Totally OT:  Has anyone seen this commercial by Dove? Pretty amazing! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uT4dpFpiTgk

Also, finally have my fanfiction back "out there" if anyone is interested. More chapters to come soon. 

http://www.thepetulantpoetess.com/index.php  ("Madame Potion"; look in the left hand collumn)

http://hp.adultfanfiction.net/story.php?no=600007162

Vicki-

That's good question. What would

he think. I'm sure he'd have me blacklisted.LOL

  

*Beneath it all, I'm a lump of sugar*



 

SnoKat -   yes, RedTango shared that with us when she first made it, but it was fun to see again.  It's so off-the-wall it cracks me up.  I love her cardboard cut-out.  It even has "strain" marks around the button of the jacket.  Poor guy....good thing he doesn't surf the 'net.  What would he possibly think if he came across it?  WTF?!?!???  But it's all in good fun and made out of love.

Has anyone seen this? A Day with Alan Rickman on YouTube? It's really cute.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xLMqqs-ZKc

Some great stories next door!

Nice pics too!

If I had my way, that would've been

a bottomless wine glass for Alan.

Let me fill that up for 'ya darlin'!

Yeeees yummie!!

And the safety pin shirt is still intact

Ladies the pics on the GB

are absolutely yummo!

He's still as beautiful as ever!

And Laura Linney is always

the striking lady. Very nice.

Did anyone read that article on "Undateability" on Yahoo search page? imagine being rated by others!

But there's hope, I read somewhere that only one in 70 people would be one's ideal mate.

I heard that girlfriend!

  
Thanks for the info!

Rasputin.......

Hell yes!




 

Yeah, Vicki! I'm dated, too!  I remember watching Lawrence Welk and The Smothers Brothers, too!

Nicketynick you might want to try eBay and/or Amazon.com for "Dark Harbor".... another of my favorites.  That's where I got mine.

Everyone I'm having e-mail problems so if you've written privately to me and haven't heard back, yours may be one of the mails "stuck" in the queue.

My favorite Rasputin scene coming up.....  right before the jumping on table scene... he's in a red shirt and just spun the snacks-girl around... now he's approaching the long-haired gal to dance ... AHHHHHHH!!!    Just LOVE that SMILE as he sways behind her and dances!!!  And the crawl over to the gal at the table!  "I am a Great Man!"  This whole scene is a THUD'DER!!!   Okay, okay, excuse me, I need some ice water!!!

Whew!  After more than a week of GB abstinence, I had a whole lot of catching up to do.  Not only this board and the main board but all those hen reports!  Lord Have Mercy!  I'm all a-flutter.....fanning myself to stave off the hot flashes!  Can you believe how many times they ran into Alan?!?  I think I would have melted into a puddle just from pure nerves.  They truly were some very lucky ladies. 

A huge WELCOME HOME to Alfan.  Glad you arrived safely and enjoyed the Stones concert.  You must have been pretty close to the stage to get that close up of Mick (or had a very powerful lens). 

Dave - sorry, my friend....I just don't see a resemblance.  Not to say you aren't a fine looking fellow in your own right.  But there's just no duplicate for Alan. 

In my younger days, I was told I looked a little bit like Kate Jackson (Charlie's Angels)....but I'm afraid I can't make that claim anymore. 

Marlene - OMG!  JoAnne Castle???  I just had a nightmarish flashback to my parents insisting on watching Lawrence Welk when we wanted to watch something more hip like The Smothers Brothers.  (I know, I'm dating myself....sad, isn't it?).

Well, off to view the new Perfume trailer again.  Can't wait 'til these films make it across the pond and we can enjoy them too!

Snokat-

Amen sister! I've been hitting the

rewind button like crazy!

If only I could get a hold of"Dark Harbor"!!!!

The damn button would be broken! LOL

*snicker,snort*

  (I'm terrible, I know)





 

I know what you mean. Boyfriend is working an evening shift so I was thinking of spending the evening with "Jamie." I LOVE him. For me it will be a nice fire, relax on the couch and pretend he will come haunt me!

Ahhhhh. A beautiful Saturday

afternoon w/ Alan.

  

We have S&S, TrulyMadlyDeeply

& AABA!

A bottle of wine, and a Lasagna

in the oven...

Life is Good! Good health to all!

Another Down at Papa Joe's is song #12 here, but I haven't figured out how to play it. 

http://launch.yahoo.com/release/73197

Here's another short clip on Amazon.Com ...

It looks like the album is available from Amazon, too.

Dumpy:  Try www.artistdirect.com and go to the JoAnn Castle 22 Great Ragtime 2 section.   It's song #10.

Have you ever heard the song by The Dixiebelles, "(Down at) Papa Joe's"?!

real "feel good" music!!    

but I haven't found it anywhere to listen to it, darn.

How many feet tall is the cherry tree you planted, Pam. Hope it was at least six feet 'cause they grow so slowly. It's worth the extra money! we planted a tiny cherry tree, it was only three feet tall, but it just sat there for years and produce about three cherries. Our soil is so rocky, so the results for what we plant is inconsistent. The Northern Spruces we plants really took off! 

I highly recommend honey locust (thornless) you get from the nursery. They're as 'romantic' as weeping willows, but don't attack water pipes with their roots.

You ever see bears   on your walks???

dave roberts - I hope your post was sarcasm! 

Chris, as one power player to another, pretending not to understand is the oldest trick in the book! not to mention the orders you give with your veiled "diplomacy". I see right through you, dear, as I do all "power oriented" people. Don't fight it! embrace your inner control freak! it is head and shoulders above the sad evidence of old-fashioned submissiveness as evident by other posters in the reference to us women as "girls".

We are free women!!! use your powers!  and don't apologize for it to the women who still want to be "girls"

Snape replies: *smirks*

Ok, just found a recipe for butter-tarts.

Dosen't sound too appealing to me, but

hey, if that's what the man likes, we must

oblige! I guess I could just show up with

some nanners.

Well, I considered making

rice-krispy treats and knocking on his door.

"Howdy neighbor!"

Or should I learn the constituents of

the famous butter-tart?

Nickety, please DO do something crazy, get pictures and tell us all about it. It's all some of us have!!!

MsSlope-

Do you liver near there?

I'm taking a holiday to England

soon to visit a friend, and he booked

me a flat in Westbourne Grove.

Squeeelll! I'm not sure if Alan lives in

that neighborhood still. Anyone know?

Not that I'd do anything crazy.....

The only lookalike I can lay claim to is sadly Janet Street-Porter!! *sob*

Carrie Fisher from Star Wars I wanted to say... Sorry!!
Am getting old. Old old old...

Yes, Hikity, it's perfekt. I guess they assembled it right after the tabloid was published *lol*!! So all the drooling Rickman fans can comfortly sit inside and enjoy a warm cup of organic coffee while waiting. Which I find very obliging. And most important: The banana rack is within the range of vision from there!

SnoKat they use to say I look like Carrie Fisher from Princess Leia. Btw when I just checked imdb to check the correct writing for "Leia" I discovered her full name was Princess Leia Organa (!) Coincidence or Omen? 

Just as an FYI...don't know if anyone's seen this yet, but rehearsals for EQUUS begin Jan.3,2007

Ohh we should do this!!! What famous person do you or have you ever gotten told you look like!!!

In the 80s when I was a teen, I used to get stopped on the street and told I looked like Molly Ringwald. I guess it stopped in my later 20s, when she stopped appearing in movies. When my hair is longer I get "a young" Mary Tyler Moore. The oddest is when I wear my hair pulled back in the front my Mom says I look like Julia Roberts!

In the mornings, I look more like Dobby.

You're getting the "newbie treatment".

Forgot a thing:

Chris, my father used to tell me when I was about 12, that I looked very much like a very famous actress. I needed a long time to persuade him to tell me:

THE MICKEY MOUSE

After this revelation I've never ever asked anyone anymore

Mrs Slope, honestly, do not tempt us, lady, that middle section of yours looks more like a slope than a pudge.....

Tanja took a photo while we went past in a convertible Mercedes, Oh Lord: there is a kind of coffee shop in it as well.

*takingthelampsoftlyoutofchrishands* It's fine Not the first time we were mixed up and *reading the other posts* obviously not the last. Perhaps Pudding and I should think about surgery and become Siamese Twins

@Nicketynick: Yes it's THE nanner store. The picture is from an excursion in early April. It was exciting: All the bananas, all the testosterones still whirring around in the air... I can highly recommend it

@Puddingdale: *roflol*!!!!!  

Dave, "not really" is not your answer. Listen, dear boy, speak after me: "Not at all and that is fine."

You didn't follow my instructions. 

Only one person got my joke?

8. Puddingdale, thanks for the laugh

MsSlope- You look fabulous!

Is that Alan's nanner store?

Thanks Chris, but mine is bigger.... *lol*

(that's also the reason Puddingdale had to clarify that we're two different persons) 

And once again, I am NOT MsSlope!!  We live in the same town over here, but we are two different persons. So the credit goes to Ms Slope this time, not to me.

Excuse me, you ungrateful dunderheads, but I think I do!

I do!! I do!!

I do look like Alan, I do, I do, I do!!!! See??

I find it striking!! Just like Alan I've got two eyes!! Two ears!! One nose!! One mouth!! A neck!! Two arms and two legs!!

Any more questions ??

*lol* Dumpy!

Chris, I think looking like yourself is all right. Or am I mistaken that you are Chris Rea?

Click on the "help" icon in the chat room and you get a real eyeopener. Example: "kick user from chat room", *beep* everyone for all to hear, send a private message. What's going on here? I thought the chat was always empty - there could be hundreds in there sending private messages, and you're on the "ignore" list. (insert "Twilight Zone" music here)

Thanks guys *deep bow* Your appreciation means a lot  

And finally I can muster the courage to tell you: I AM Mery Streep. Make sure to watch my latest film (The Devil Wears Prada). And if you can... go and see it twice. I know it will cost you twice as much but what the heck...those Prada clothes were expensive too.

Well, all I can say is what the hey!

Chris, this was ENGLISH for runaways...

Pudd, lol hoch 7: I think I don't need to post here anymore, hihi - you just come along with the best summaries

Chalebh, hilarious! BTW: what watch? Ten watch? What, such much? - my all time favourite! (Casablanca, of course)

Damn! And all this time I thought

really DID look like Sandra Bullock!

LOL

Thanks, Puddingdale, for stating the obvious!

OMG. Instead of thinking and writing about e-luv he should spend more time in real life, huh? Especially since he has a wife. Sorry, Dave, but you do not look like AR AT ALL! Just a similar pose and that is it. Otherwise any man with midlength hair, any kind of nose, eyes and a mouth could claim to look like AR. And anyway, guys and girls, why should anyone even want to look like AR? And expect praise for it? I mean, what is the point???? Am I missing something???  

I just imagine myself running around claiming to look like Meryl Streep: "Hey, everyone, don't you think I look like Meryl? Isn't that GREAT? What?? You  don't agree??? Why not? Discuss that!!! NOW! Because if I do not look like Meryl any more, who am I????"   

MCD- I just noticed what you were

talking about. Poor guy. 

I see Dave is fighting back on his BLOG !!

Seems Dave is quite famous in his own Write. I think he's angling for his own forum secretly!!LOL

 Sorry, wrong window. Too early to be able for multi-tasking.

We have a colorful autumn and a few warm days here and there to get ready for the freezing temperatures.

I'm wondering if there are people here in the states that once lived abroad. 

Ah,right. See what you mean.

Well, we're here! How is good 'ole

PA? Have friends from up there.

Should be getting chilly in your neck

of the woods, eh?

I'm in PA. I see on the AR GB many people from all over the world posting to one another, but usually during the day until around 5 o'clock. There used to be dozens from the usa on Suzanne's AR GB. (alan rickman guestbook hypernet). It seems they got lost in the move.

Hey Dumpy-

Good question. Actually, I'm

not sure where alot of these people

are from. They don't always post their

location. I'm in Georgia. How about you?
