Moronic Plea for Attention Confuses Everybody
« on: September 19, 2006, 06:04:04 AM »
I've got to question the accounting department, but supposedly I have racked up 1000 posts with this very post.      And the time you lost by clicking on this thread, you're never getting it back.      I'd like to thank all the little people who made this possible.  Like the guy who played Quentin as a werewolf.     I'd like to thank everyone involved in the making of Dark Shadows.     Especially the stagehand who walked past the Drawing Room window while the end credits were rolling.   And thanks for letting me waste your time like this.

Congratulations! I think you should also thank Bathia Mapes and the ever present houseflies.

That must be 1968, which I'm missing...

I wouldn't have started this frivolous thread had I known about Craig Hemrick, whom I've only just now become aware of through the prayer thread.   I'm not knowledgeable about DS fandom.   I don't know how things are now, since I was only allowed onto page one for some reason, but if there were an agnostic version of prayers, I'd offer them.

Oh, don't worry about that because I don't think people are offended. Something tells me that Craig certainly wouldn't be. Sure, he's in our thoughts as he should be at this time, but I suspect Craig, who has always been a fun guy, would be the first to say that his situation shouldn't necessarily prevent people from continuing to also have a bit of fun.  :)

Though the episodes that feature everyone's favorite white witch Bathia did originally air in March '68, if that's what he means.  ;)

Right you are MB!  Craig has a wonderful sense of humor and I'm sure he would not be offended at all to see this, or other humorous threads.  ;)

Jeez, don't say that.  *Moronic Plea for Attention Confuses Everybody*
This is the funniest thread title I think I've ever seen.  (yeah - guess I don't get around much)

When you have the time (a LOT of it) you should visit Craig Hamrick's website:

http://www.darkshadowsonline.com/

There is so much to explore - great background information on the cast, interviews, collectibles
stuff, and great pictures -- beautiful, clear pictures.  I've learned more about the cast from his site than probably anywhere else.

You're fortunate in this regard.

Connie, Buzz, MB..... thanks for the reassurances.    Nice to see the present tense applied to CHs name.     I did try to correct that mis-spelling of his name, but didn't get there in time.    My eye thing requires me to take a hit-and-run approach to sites usually, but I'll try to go back to DSO occasionally.  I looked at it once and it seems packed with interesting stuff.

I did mean "aired in 1968"-- if I'd made up my mind to buy immediately, at a certain thrift store, in 2002, I'd have had the whole run of DS except 1966.   As it was, I waited one day to think it over (even at $1.50 apiece they don't calculate Disability incomes to allow for THIS kind of expenditure, rightly so I guess), and someone got there first, and bought a huge chunk right out of the middle of the show, wisely starting right after BC is bitten in 1795.     I get to see BCs great being-bitten scene combined with the horrible plastic bat (weird contradiction), then he's sick, then Josette finds him but BC can't tell... then I have to abruptly skip to 1897 19% of the way through, as someone on this board was nice enough to calculate once.   I have DS right up to the end then though.

This is the funniest thread title I think I've ever seen. 

It sounds like a clue in a British crossword puzzle.  Anybody know the answer?
