its better than the mug)?

ROFLMAO!!!!! Gawds that was funny:)! Thank you for the much needed laugh
since Mr. Lance seems bound and determined to keep on doing what he's doing.
Thank you!

Sorry to everyone that I forgot the spoiler spaces in my last post! I was
laughing so hard I forgot. I bow down to the mercy of the almighty list
goddess! My deepest apologies!

Or a strait-jacket.

Thousands of members, only 1 PC. Too bad.

Like I said.

And, yet, the world kept turning, & I got over it. Think about doing the
same.
>We have suspended disbelief thus far, we can do it for Connor.
Not to the extent of closing our eyes for the ntire performance, which is
what it would take to pretend CL looks 18, as he should as Immortal Connor.
Even 30 or 40 is beyond him at this point, judging by how he looked in
HL:EG. I think he's an attractive man, & I enjoy a lot of his work, but
he's too old now for this particular role. 15 years was a good run; now,
it's over.

Forget sniffing. He said we could _feel_ the essence of Highlander. And, I
know which Highlander I'd choose for a good grope....
