The ideal was everyone's, kinda an universal -list red fog thang. We were
all wildly possessed back then.
I just love it when the List goddesss snaps her foot down and cracks the
whip. It's just sooo sexy.
I do hate it when brother rises up against brother and does the Cain and Abel
thing, even in just heart, mind or jest. Hate has no place among us on this
list.

I have my shirt, too. And a picture of Debbie using the whip! I can't
remember the name of the guy on the receiving end, though I recall he was well
known on the list back then.

Hey! I was the fan whose con report generated the term 'Adrianic flu'! <bg>
Pat Lawson, whom I got to help shop in the dealers' room the last day, coined
the term I think. I almost got his leftover cold medicine too, as a matter of
fact, but that's another story. <g>
Remember that single long autograph line table with Peter, Jim, Adrian, and
Stan all in a row? The inaugural episode of 'Poorly Organized Breakfasts'
(TM)? Speaking of which, I have a picture of my breakfast table, with you,
Sandy, sitting next to Carol Ann. Other memories??

Subject: PW & PJ together in a new movie
Hi all,
Something Peter Wingfield mentioned during a Q&A at HLDU4 ... He's
currently working closely with Paul Johanssen <sp?> on a movie called 'A
Wilderness Station'. "Most of my scenes will be with him."
The movie is set in the 19th century. PW plays a Scottish Presbyterian
Minister ("I do a Scottish accent about as well as Christophe.") PJ plays
a Marshall of some description.
cheer,
Sonja

that there were Star Trek conventions but I'd always associated

I remember the butt cookies from G3 (my first con). They were small...
regular cookie-sized things. Was the G2 rendition different? ... like big
and ... ehem ... butt-sized?
That butt cast/mold, being life-sized, would definitely make something
larger than cookie-sized. And there's that third dimension to deal with
also. Cookies are relatively flat. Careful examination of that butt cast
(yes, I did... in the name of research, of course) leads me to believe The
Tush is not flat, but rather quite rounded (of course there is a great body
of evidence that corroborrates this finding as well -- Chivalry, Endgame,
and the like), and that use of the third dimension could add greatly to
artistic renderings of it. The butt cast might make a very lovely cake...
or (how in the heck does one spell that French word for molded... uh...
formed or shaped... liverwurst?) pate? (with some sort of accent mark that
I don't know how to make) ... or, um... jello ringmold salad. My, my, we
could probably come up with an entire meal (art gallery?) of dishes shaped
like The Tush. (Yes, food can *too* be art!)
While my mind is on food and the keys are under my fingers...
In this recent flurry of postings regarding G2 memories, didn't I see
someone mention the G2 breakfast? Ah, here it is...
it was Lisa Kadlec...

I'm soooooooo curious about stories from G2 on the breakfast subject.
Anyone have stuff to share now, lo these many years later? Does anyone
know if G1 had this event? Lisa said "inaugural" for the G2 one... but was
that the first bad one, or the first one of any kind?

The butt cookies originated at G3. They weren't at G2. TAO had just
finished filming the tub scene from Chivalry when he flew to Denver for G2.
We hadn't yet seen the episode, and therefore no one had yet come up with
the "butt cookie" idea. Poor thing. Filming all day... in and out of the
tub... butt nekkid. He caught a bad bad cold. Many con attendees at G2
caught the bug from him, and therein lies the origination of the Adrianic Flu.

Ya know... I remember being at that breakfast, but I don't remember much
about it. I don't think the actors were there. I think (this is from my
horrible memory, so it's very likely incorrect) Panzer and Abramowitz were
there... or behind-the-scenes people like that.

The breakfast was advertised in such a way as to strongly imply that GOHs would
attend. None of the actors did, though IIRC Panzer and Abramowitz *were* there,
as was Jason Henderson (author of the first HL novel and G2 guest), and maybe
Gillian and/or some other behind-the-scenes folk.
The 'guests' had their own table, all to themselves. The con-goers got to seat
themselves, but then we had to sit and wait forever to get our food. Sound
familiar? One of the reasons I have always suspected that poor organization is as
much, if not more, to blame than the actors for subsequent breakfast problems is
that they couldn't even get it right when *no* actors were involved. We were
still told to arrive significantly before any food was going to be served. Then
they were calling us up by table to go to the buffet. My table must have been
told two or three times that it was our turn, only to be told something on the
order of 'whoops, no, not yet!' Get up. No, sit down. Get up. No, sit down.
It was a *mess*.

You & yours aren't a franchise. In my considered opinion, you & yours are a
solitary loon in elaborate masquerade, but in the event I'm wrong, at most
you are part of a single, extremist & minuscule offshoot of the HL fandom.
Either way, judging by your own touting of supposed past & recent activities
& the obvious lack of effect they have had (that certain fictional character
remaining a foot shorter), I conclude that you are also completely
ineffectual.
Highlander itself is the franchise, & DPP own it (&, heaven knows, do w/ it
what they will, no matter how idiotic or suicidal).
And, I believe the clock is ticking on your fulfilling the list owner's
request for legitimate documentation as to the death memorial obscenity you
recently perpetrated.

I was going to complement Lance on finally finding a use for all those
pictures of strangers you get when you buy a picture frame or a wallet
with a photo insert thingie, but, seeing as how all the links are broken
and the pics aren't available, I won't bother. He must still be using
Photoshop to mutate the same picture 7 times and adding more hair for
the ones that are supposed to be female. <g>
I wonder if he'll eventually make up 993 fake bios so they can keep
pretending they number in the thousands? Nah...that's probably higher
than he can count.
