      This is probably going to come out formatted really crummy, but, oh 
      well - I don't have time to fix it. Sorry for the OT, but there's 
      probably some groups users here. ;)
      
      I hope this wasn't out of line...  -Rachel

      Grrr... ah, never mind. Water under the barge. :)
      
      That has to be one of the most entertaining pieces of Debbie-
      summoning that I've read.

      Yes, there's nothing quite like a nice grilled lamb chop, or a bit of roast
      lamb.  Mutton stew - ah, delicious!  Even a braised shank of lamb
      with a bit of redcurrant sauce.

      I was transferring my HL vhs copies of Season Six to dvds, since I 
      don't want to pay for a season I don't care for much.
      
      Anway, there was Alexis Denisof, "Wesley" from Buffy & Angel, in 
      "Diplomatic Immunity". <g> It's been so long since I watched season 
      sux - I never knew AD played on HL.

      I ranted and raved, to which Annie responded:

      And Marina said:

      People, people, people! Work with me, would you? I'm trying to summon
      the almighty-but-never-present List Goddess and you are all being way
      too nice. We need noise! We need controversy. We need a newbie to roast
      squealing on an open fire! Never a Cobra gunship around when you need
      one.
      
      Wendy (Sheesh)(Even poking with a stick doesn't get any reaction these
      days.)(I'll have to try harder.)(Debbie!)(Pay attention!)(Umm.....Fitz
      liked to boink Richie up against the walls of the barge.)(Darius was
      making crystal meth in the rectory basement and selling it to street
      urchins.)( I was glad to see Tessa die.)(Debbie! Debbie
      DEBBBBBBBBBIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!)(All those times we said "Canadian" we
      meant "homosexual"!)(It's only a few files Debbie!)(I know you have
      them)(My nephew is a Texas State Patrolman.)(He can find you.)(Be
      nice....set a good example.)(Total refusal to respond is not the
      hallmark of a great listowner.)(Duty, honor, Highlander...remember?)(You
      aren't in the Witness Protection Program, are you?)(Because I'd hate to
      "out" you accidently.)(Better you should just answer and offer nicely to
      give me what I want.)(Give me the files and I'll find them a happy home
      where others can find them.)(I'm sure I can provide a nice HL website
      with enough storage space to house the HIGHLA archives or at least offer
      a place where people can request and then receive them.)(And that's what
      we both want, right?)(I want the archives...you want me to shut up.)(We
      can both win)(Or I can keep bothering 800+ people.)
