      I meant to mention earlier that NBC is making available in their entirety 
      Book of Daniel episodes #5 (available now & all this week) & #6 (available 
      starting Friday) for online viewing only.

      I assume that since you start with a laugh, you are enjoying the
      conversation. I'm glad.

      Ouch. The "fat" comment really hurts. Not that it's entirely untrue ...
      it's  just impolite to mention it. <eg> I would never make any comments
      about your hypothetical physical imperfections. And, having been to a
      couple of HL conventions, I think it best if all references to the
      physical size of any fan be kept to a minimum least the words "pot
      kettle black" echo throughout the land.
      
      And:
      > badjer the list owner to appear when others don't really care 
      > and would like the badgering to stop.
      
      I believe the traditional response to comments of this sort is ... use
      your delete key. Or...if you don't like this topic, start a thread of
      your own with a topic you find interesting. I'll happily talk about
      Highlander - I can just as easily add my pleas to Debbie to a discussion
      of Duncan  as I can to a discussion of Church and State.  Or we can
      combine the two and discuss Duncan's views on god and religion as
      gleaned from the series. 
      
      Further, why don't you care if Debbie answers? Our Goddess has deserted
      us. Is she dead? Do we displease her? Did she lose interest in our petty
      mortal lives? Has she moved on to a group that loves her more? Is there
      some sacrifice we need to make? The woman who has been the guiding light
      of this list for 14 years drops off the face of the earth and you don't
      care? Aren't you in the least bit worried? Is she sitting in a hospital
      somewhere sick and alone and without computer access? Was she kidnapped?
      Did she move to Spain? Did she get married, have kids and forget us as
      her real  life became more interesting than her on-line life? Did she
      break both arms so that she can't type? It's not just about getting what
      I want, it's about knowing that Debbie is still alive. I promised to
      stick around until Debbie turned out the lights here- if she is
      gone...what then? 
      
      Still further, this list has been mostly dead for a long time.  Now we
      are managing  10- 15 messages a day. Not quite the 100+ posts we
      sometimes produced in the good old days but still . . . nice to see the
      HIGHLA drop into the old mailbox.  Nice to see a few old-timers coming
      out of the woodwork. Nice to know that when "Highlander: The Source"
      appears, there might be someone around who'll want to
      discuss/dissect/trash it. 
      
      So...why don't you let me get back to badgering Debbie?

      Ohh, yay, *runs off to download*
      
      Eep, I hope the earlier eps are there too as I've not seen those. As I
      said earlier, my Friday nights belong to CBS. "NUMB3RS" is great fun,
      with decent pretty; "Ghost Whisperer" is, well, better now than it was
      when it first began and I like the concept. so I endure, hopeful of
      better days ahead. I'd had no intention of liking "Close to Home" but
      that was before I discovered that my favorite "tiny Texan" would be on
      the show.
      
      I'll follow CK anywhere. <g>
      
      Okay, back on target. DEBBIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull
      his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you
      understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send
      signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that
      there is no cat. --Albert Einstein

      Thank you, Wendy, for putting that so clearly. I'd like your permission 
      to repost that on my blog - you've managed to hit on topics that I've 
      gabbled on about incessantly for 2 years, but you nailed each in on 
      short paragraph.
      
      For which I give most hearty thanks and "damn you, woman." <g>
      
      All the hoo-ha about Daniel and the boogeda-boogeda actions of a faction 
      of the Religious Right wouldn't have amounted to a hill of beans if it 
      had been a better show and had higher ratings. I'll have to check the 
      recordings David got on the one computer - I heard that the third 
      episode showed more promise than either of the first two. But there 
      again, will I bother? Do I have time? Probably not. Was it sandbagged by 
      the network? Maybe.
      
      Still, the TV reviewer/columnist at the Chicago Trib had to turn off the 
      comments on her "The Watcher" blog because she got hair-raisingly 
      horrible hate mail AFTER the show was cancelled, in her post announcing 
      the cancellation. Some of the stuff that came to her privately was 
      appalling (I asked her about why comments were closed in p-mail). And 
      this was coming from the "triumphant" side in the controversy. What does 
      that say?
      
      Meanwhile, in actuall HL related newsagoggery, there was this tidbit on 
      the newsgroup: Anthony DeLongis is in a film with Jet Li called 
      "Fearless." They had a link to a Chinese website with huge images of 
      movie posters, which was incomprehensible enough. But we're told that 
      the man whose face is completely obscured, wearing more-or-less 
      Victorian garb and fighting Jet Li's character with a sword or sabre is 
      ADL.
      
      Well, it sort of looks like him from behind. But I found it kind of 
      funny/sad that we Highlander fans are reduced to trying to spot alumni 
      in foreign film posters.
      
      Still, could be worse. There will be a Highlander movie premiere to 
      discuss soon, and I'm not looking forward to that because my friend 
      Steve Levinthal (a long-ago member of this here list, who was once 
      FLOGGED BY DEBBIE IN PERSON with her brand-new cat-o-nine-tails at 
      Gathering I) wants my permission to be obnoxious during the movie and 
      make loud snarky comments.
      
      I know this because we were out to dinner with him tonight and he was 
      pressuring me to "give him permission" to make an ass of himself. My 
      husband and Steve's girlfriend will see some other movie while we see 
      Highlander, and Steve wants to cut up. This does not bode well for me.
      
      So question for all: when the movie comes out, will you go? And will you 
      be "in disguiiiiise?"

      If I remember correctly, Steve didn't need permission to make an ass of
      himself. (Couldn't resist)
      
      If you can stand to see the movie twice, I'd suggest going alone the
      first time so that (1) you don't have to listen to Steve snark and (2)
      no one will see you cry of the movie sucks. Then go a second time with
      the express purpose of snarking. Have a few drinks first. 
      
      > So question for all: when the movie comes out, will you go? 
      > And will you be "in disguiiiiise?"
      
      Of course I'll go. Disguise? I don't think so. I'll just go during the
      day when no one I know will be about. 
      
      Speaking of "The Source", has anyone (John??) gotten a good handle on
      what the plot actually is? Seen a rough script? Talked to anyone in the
      know? Is it set in the future ("crumbling cities")?  Is there a reason
      *why* they set off to find the Source (to save the world?) or are they
      just bored? I think it's time for some baseless speculation.
      
      Here's a depressing thought (if you were an Immortal). You live for
      thousands of years- aiming for the Prize.  You fight countless battles,
      lose countless loves, get rich /get poor over and over - and just when
      it looks like the Gathering is here and the End is in sight, the mortals
      screw up the world so badly (environmental damage, war, famine, exotic
      new plagues) that winning the Prize doesn't look all that attractive
      anymore. You get to reign over a crappy broken-down depopulated
      backwater planet. Yeah!

      ah! It WAS G2. Hee. I was there with my
      boyfriend-who-is-now-my-hubby. Somewhere stashed away
      in a box is a picture or two of Debbie with the whip.
      Actually, someone has some pictures up online. 
      
      I really should get that stuff out, scan it, and stick
      it on my Flickr page. Maybe we could start a new
      group: "Loopy Highlander Fans And Their Many, Many,
      Many Con Pictures."
      
      Oh, and by the way: CLOVE OIL!

      Though I wasn't there (work  the darnest thing) I believe Sandy or  someone
