To barf into? Oh--to counter hyperventilation. The whole thing was
icky--Mary was a far creepier character than Byron, & I can't fathom 2
people LESS likely to rev up one's engines. Now, the goat looked pleasant
enough.

But Cassie would have been SO jealous.

And it was refreshing to see ONE doctor on HL w/ some ethics....

>>>Ouch. That hurts <eg>
Sorry. But, since you've confessed to Scottish ancestry, that makes it
nearly certain you're an Immie--so you'll heal. And I'm SURE you're
planning to bite the bullet & dish out the Paris eps of Raven any... year...
now.
>Wendy(Finally watched "The Void".)(Wasn't as awful as most AP movies)(Not
that that is saying much.)(Was basically a >90 minute SG1 episode without
RDA)(Laughed at the katanas in the background of Malcom's office.)
It fell apart near the end. And had too much girlie (well, girlieS, if you
count AT's body double) & not enough AP.
Re katanas, how in hell did they (whoever....) name the baddie in HL2
"General Katana"? I mean--even in the context of HL2, how stupid IS that???
Nina (still, not as stupid as Sci Fi canning Farscape....)

Ah, but those of us left on the list are, I would think, still
united in our love for "things Highlander". As you say:

Exactly. And that was what I was getting at.

Exactly. You made all my points for me. :)

Yes. And whether we like each other or not (I don't dislike
anybody here, no matter how much I argue with them), we do
have that underlying community.

Yes. Yes. (I'm agreeing with Nina. Help me.) Not about the spitting
part, but the commonality part. I think all of us would rally
around if another listee was on fire, even if we were insulting
each other months before. At least, I like to think so.
Maybe I'm just a foolish idealist.

Subject: Re: Doc Anne
>> Now this is interesting<g> Are you suggesting that this dry sense of
humor is genetic? <<
What I was really trying to say is that the Scottish sense of humour which
can be dry and a little odd is often perceived as dour. To be honest I
know very very few dour Scots and I don't think Jette or I qualify as dour
either. What I meant was that there is a perception of that and perhaps
that is what seemed cold about Anne. Though I do think the not being
touchy feely etc may well be genentic. It's quite an interesting idea -
learned behaviour or genetic behaviour. I think we are all made up of a
mix of both.
