I just had an urge as impossible to resist as the urge of a vampire to time-travel.... to ask the question that must be on everyone's minds, after they read this thread title anyway.
Does Roger Collins have a wedgie in his future? Should he? Would it be a justifiable wedgie? Atomic, or not? Would his face be capable of registering the degree of sheer outrage which would result? Would he sprain his face trying?
Dignity has its price. If I have anything to say about it, that is.

Suggestion for a poll (though I'm too lazy to create it): Which Louis Edmonds character most deserves a wedgie? And what version of time travel - ghostly helper, I Ching, or Q-Staircase - would be most effectual for delivering an Atomic Wedgie to Joshua? And, finally, what is an Atomic Wedgie, anyway?
-
The ghost of Peter Bradford deserves a Melvin for his appearence at the end of the Leviathin story
-
I actually found out about all these kid things after I reached adulthood. I haven't heard of a Melvin. I hope it's pretty bad, though.
-

I have, but can't remember what it is, LOL! ;)

That's bad alright! Thanks Midnite! Let's not give Roger one of those! Bradford, fine.

God bless Louis Edmonds, I truly enjoy all of the characters he played, but each and every one of his characters at one time or another deserved an atomic wedgie and a really annoying noogie to go along with it:
Roger-during the Quentin as a ghost storyline, he was, as always, the eternal skeptic and acted like such a jackass especially to Barnabas and Professor Stokes who only wanted to help the family.
Joshua-for [spoiler]disowning Barnabas for his insisting on marrying Angelique as soon as possible (okay I will say that Barnbas should have listened to Joshua on this one and not marry her at all but still it WAS Barnabas' right to decide who he wanted to marry, even though his choice for a wife was not very smart at all in hindsight).[/spoiler]
Edward-[spoiler]after learning Barnabas is a vampire, Mr.-know-it-all Edward Collins strongly believed his vampire cuz must have chose to live a life of eternal misery....don't know how Edward came to this logic, and he wasn't the least bit interested in hearing Barnabas' side of the story. He really infuriated me when he held Barnabas in the cell and condemned him for "making a pact with the devil."[/spoiler] I would have loved to have given Edward 10 atomic wedgies and lots of painful noogies at that moment.
Roger (1970 PT version)-wedgies and noogies would be too kind for him....he [spoiler]killed two members of his own family for crying out loud! How about him having the same fate as Damion Edwards?[/spoiler]
Daniel Collins-maybe the only one of LE's characters that didn't need a wedgie....true, [spoiler]he did murder his wife, but Daniel had grown into being a very unstable man....and after the tragedies he witnessed in 1795, it's not hard to see why.[/spoiler]

The same fate as Damian Edwards.... you mean PT Roger should have been forced to wear a leisure suit?!!

True, PT Roger did those awful things listed in the spoiler tags, but he was also SO DAMN FUNNY! [santa_evil]

LOL, yeah exactly! For Roger, that proper, pompous, proper-attire kind of guy, that would be a fate worse than death! [grinb]

I'm afraid I have no idea what a wedgie is, but the original 1966 Roger Collins was a wonderfully devious character. I laugh everytime I watch the scene where [spoiler]he attempts to terrorize Vicki when David's locked her in the room in the "closed-off" West Wing (that wound up seeing more foot traffic than Boston's South Station on a typical afternoon, it seems). Edmonds played that scene with such wonderful poise, despite the absurdity of it.[/spoiler]
My second favorite Edmonds characterization is PT 1970 Roger. He's so catty he cracks me up. I love when he tells Alexis that mentioning Angelique and Maggie in the same line is "like comparing a sable to a mouse"--and Parker's bitchy smirk in response. Edmonds had the same flair as the late, great Clifton Webb with this sort of vicious yet elegant dialogue.

Everytime I see a movie with Clifton Webb, I think of the late Mr. Edmonds. I just saw the movie "Laura" recently and thought how good our beloved Mr. Edmonds could have played that part. He also could have handled some of George Sanders roles. Mr. Edmonds was far more dashing than both Sanders and Webb but with just as much acerbic charm.

So... yanking Roger's underwear up roughly in the back so that it hangs out is not something to hope for, even for the bad relation version?
-
What could be more fun than giving a pompous ass a wedgie?

My most recent watching has been the early eps, starting with DVD #1, and did anyone else notice how Roger back then had been the one all gung ho to do the seance and maybe see some spooks. One wonders just when Roger mutated into Mr. "I don't believe in spooks!"

I totally agree with this. In the early 1897 storyline [spoiler]Edward had made friends with Barnabas. They had had dinner at the Old House, and later on Barnabas saved Edward's children from Laura's fire. But as soon as he learned Barnabas was a vampire he turned totally against him and forgot what Barnabas had done for him.[/spoiler]
I always say Edward is a nit. That word is my own invention and it means No Intelligence There. Edward was probably the stupidest of the Louis Edmonds characters. I absolutely loved it when [spoiler]Petofi's kiss through Jamison turned him into a servant! Only why did Trask lock him in the tower room rather than letting him serve lol!![/spoiler]
I think L.E. was best when he played a ghost.

When I first read this question, I thought of Roger Davis, not Roger Collins. And my first impulse was.... HELL YES! [rofl10] But now that I know you mean Roger Collins, I still haven't changed my mind about RD. I will shift gears though, and concentrate on the character. [clown]
Does Roger Collins have a wedgie in his future? Should he? Would it be a justifiable wedgie? Atomic, or not? Would his face be capable of registering the degree of sheer outrage which would result? Would he sprain his face trying?
Sure he does and David has first dibs on administering it! I also agree that other characters deserved wedgies such as Edward. I think it would be fun to see Barnabas get one at a party. How undignified that would be... and funny! I think it would humble the Collins' men several notches. [chkyy]

Speaking of Louis Edmonds, he appeared so different from his many characters on DS. I saw an excerpt on my DS DVD where he was on stage, singing and dancing, dressed in leather pants and jacket. Actually, he looked GREAT. He was at a fest years ago performing on stage. He just appeared so jovial, a man who knew how to have fun and lighten up!! Alas, I would love to see him on stage but not in this life-time.
-
Yes, give Roger Davis a wedgie! Though I must confess this is the first time I ever heard of this word, and I had to click on Midnite's link to find out what it is.
Now I'm having the enormous fun of imagining this happening to Quentin!

We can only hope that restoration work on the third DS film proceeds on schedule. The world will indeed be blown away by the horror of Night of Dark Wedgies. No one in the Collins family manages to escape the curse.

I look forward to THAT movie!! [blob5] I hope that some of the ghosts, witches and zombies join in the fun, as far as receiving them, that is. [bootyshake]

They aren't as much fun receiving as they are giving or watching someone else get one. [evilb]
