last week's postings I have come to the conclusion that Lance needs
professional help! I am a true blue Highlander fan, but give me a freaking
break!!!! Lance, Connor is a ficticious character in a story many of us
LOVE. He is dead!!! If you want him alive again, go into your own world of
FanFic and revive him!!!! Get off your soapbox now, Lance - move on and get
a REAL life!!!!! >>
Keep lurking my dear, but don't go away.........Don't you love all this
wisdom floating around about what to do with a troll and people knowing very
well how to deal with them?.......

That's amusing. I've always known her much better as "Soolin" from the BBC
series BLAKES 7, back in the late 1970's. She was in Highlander: The Raven
(1998-) (TV series) (episode "The Rogue", 1999).

Thank you. It was driving me nuts. I could even see her in the
episode.<G>
Funnily enough although I also rememeber her as Soolin, I think the part
that will always stick is Makepeace, probably because she played it for so
much longer, and was brilliant. Now what if Makepeace had been an
immortal she'd have been great, and of course she could always have taken
Dempsey along with her I'm sure he'd have proved useful.<G>

Well, I didn't. Not everyone has seen the film yet, and I avoided
anything and everything about the film, because I knew a lot of
people who forget to add "spoiler" to their subject lines, or
would put spoilers in posts otherwise unrelated to the film.
Which they did, proving my point.
But I only found out about Connor when I started reading about
our new list troll. It was hard to avoid, but it was my fault
If I hadn't wanted to see what the troll was doing to this day
I would not know about that.
Lance, you couldn't wait until Friday to start trolling? That's
when the film comes out here!

I'm sorry but I cannot help but remember that series by its
fannish nickname - "Distemper and Codpiece". ;-)

Subject: YKYWTMHW.....
Okay, I'm sitting in a training session today to learn a new computer
claim processing system for my job (I'm a workers compensation
adjuster... yawn) when I pull up the 1st fake, training claim and see,
to my delight, the "insured" is *JOE'S BAR*. My first task was to
create investigative notes and a status report for this claim where an
employee was injured lifting a barrel of beer ( I think they meant a
keg, but it said barrel). Anyway, my investigation revealed that Mr.
Smith, the employee claimed he injured his back while lifting the barrel
of beer for regular customer, Adam Pierson, when there was an
unexplained "explosion" in the alley behind the bar which caused Mr.
Smith to lift the barrel wrong. The witness, Duncan McCleod was not
able to identify the cause of the explosion, even though he was reported
to have exited the bar with another unidentifed man shortly before the
explosion. I even managed to work the phrase "Sooner or later every one
comes to Joe's" into the case notes. LOL!
After we were done with the 1st claim, we had to create two claims from
scratch. I was kind of on a roll at that point. My second claim was
for employee Adam Pierson who was stabbed in the chest by co-worker
Melvin Koran. Mr. Pierson lives on 4 Horseman Lane in Seacouver.
Strangely, he recovered very quickly from this seemingly severe injury
and was not expected to miss any time from work. His Dr. was (can you
guess) Dr. Anne Lindsay. Mr. Koran had disappeared and could not be
located.
Finally, the sad tale of Mr. Richard Ryan who sustained a *laceration*
to his neck when he walked too close to co-worker Duncan McCleod who was
swinging a "sharp tool" around for seemingly no reason. Unfortunately,
the wound was fatal.(sorry Richie fans, I couldn't resist)
My boss and co-workers couldn't understand why I was gigling through the
entire training. The trainer loves me. He thinks I'm really excited
about learning the new system. I can't wait until Friday for the next
training session!
This was the best day I've had at work in years!
Bye all,
Toni

Great One Toni!
I laughed and almost needed a job insurance report done on me while choking
on my dinner. I'm back at JFK International.
I did tell the contractor my old story right from National Geographic:
(an old story but there are new people)
This issue was about Hudson Bay Company around the 1700s. This is a true
story!
The "CEO" the Big man running the fur and trade company, from England, came
to America to see a real savage, wild Indian. When he got there, the foreman
said "No Problem."
The CEO and the foreman went to the fort compound to where they saw some
Native Americans trading furs. A fearsome, long hair, buckskin, hackett and
knife carrying example of male godliness was pointed out and the foreman
said, "HEY MACLEOD! THE BOSS wants to meet you!"
Of course I changed the named from MacDonald but the jest of the story was
the same.
Peace ~~ Fred
