Did you dig Davey's groovy Nehru suit?  (And, am I the only one who remembers when Johnny Carson and Doc Severinsen sported the same type Nehru suit on the Tonight Show?)

Some of my classmates had Nehru jackets, even the girls.  That's one style that sure didn't last long.

We learned an interesting tidbit of information today when Tony told Cassandra that, in addition to being Dr. Julia Hoffman's attorney, he was also the late Dr. Eric Lang's attorney.

This is my 4th time seeing the series but only the 1st time it has hit me that Jerry Lacy is kinda hot.  I wonder why I never noticed that before?

Quote
After reviewing Eric Lang's contracts/bills (as Lang's attorney) for all of those medical gizmos, gadgets and surgical equipment, Tony must have said to himself, "No wonder why the medical malpractice insurance rates for Collinsport are so proverbially right up through the roof!"

LOL!

And okay, who wishes Cassandra had still been around to put a no-talking spell on Hallie?

Stuart, it's GORGEOUS, and well worth the wait!

The photos of HAA are fantastic.  There's so much more I could rave about, and I haven't seen it all yet!  Congratulations!!

Bob the B,

Enjoyable insights, as always!

Before my first-born's arrival, I hired a professional babyproofer (I don't do windows either ;)), who took care of such details as installing childproof locks on lower cabinets, making window cords safe, etc.  What a pity that Dr. Lang's home won't get the same treatment, though I could only imagine the expense, even by 60s standards, considering the vast number of electrical outlets in the "nursery" and hazardous substances lying about in glass containers, not to mention that it's a rare cabinet or shelf that wouldn't be out of Adam's reach, and I won't even get into the scalpels, syringes, harpoons...

Current Talk '02 I / Re: Temptation with the FF button
« on: May 20, 2002, 09:36:43 PM »
I always thought the idea of a dream curse was a stroke of genius, but unfortunately, as others have pointed out, it didn't play out well.

A similar idea is in a 1950s movie called "Night of the Demon" or sometimes "Curse of the Demon".  It's based on a creepy short story by M.R. James called "Casting the Runes."  In the film, the powerful leader of a cult of devil worshippers, in order to protect himself from scrutiny, imposes a curse that's in actuality a death sentence on the men he feels pose a threat to him by having them accept a scrap of paper on which it's written.  The only way the recipient can save himself from the completion of the curse at a predetermined time is to pass the curse along in time-- assuming the paper on which the curse is written remains intact-- but the recipient must (again) accept it willingly.

Does anyone know of any other possible inspiration for the dream curse story?

I didn't end up going, it was a cold and rainy day and I was getting a cold.  I also had to rest up for volunteering at the AIDS walk the next day (yesterday).

You certainly have your priorities in the right place, Joey!

Hi, ladies!

But I have to admit that charming designation for non-members always seemed a sad contrast to our OWN designation as "Users".  What a pejorative connotation that has....."what a bunch of users"   :P

Hee hee!!

Quote
Now, to my dismay, I see that we're even being identified as "Invisible Users", which has an even LESS charming ring to it.

That's a brand spanking new feature that hasn't been announced yet and will be explained soon.

Quote
Couldn't we be called something more in keeping with our actual status?....maybe "Members".....or even better, "Family members"?

Rainey, I think I prefer the name user to being called a "member". ;)

Seriously, I do hear what you're saying and I'm genuinely touched that you've come to think of the rest of us as family. :D

Current Talk '02 II / OT: Registration
« on: May 19, 2002, 12:20:17 PM »
Hi,

Since the last message for unregistered members was written as we approached the 100 total, it must be time for an update since we're now nearly 200 members strong, woo!

If you haven't already done so, please take the time to read MysteriousB's message covering the benefits of becoming a registered member.  If you use AOL, a Netscape address, Compuserve, or a Road Runner address, unfortunately these services do not allow you to receive email from dsboards, and since your password is emailed to you, we ask that you not use any of the following to register:

aol.com
netscape.com
netscape.net
cs.com
rr.com


They all use AOL servers, and for some reason mail from dsboards isn't allowed to get through.  There's a bit more information about this in the Registration section of the forum's Help files, including a link to obtain a free hotmail account in the event you have no other address with which to register.

If you already registered but have not received your password, please don't hesitate to let us know at Midnite@dsboards.com or MysteriousB@dsboards.com.

Some webtv users were able to receive their passwords and some weren't, so we've been handling webtv registrations on a case by case basis.

After you register and receive your password, logging on with your username and password will give you access to your Profile where you'll be able to personalize it and change the password to one you prefer.  However, if you change your email address, the board will generate and email a new password, so please don't change the address in your profile to one that's listed in blue above.

The forum will alert you if you attempt to register with a name that's already in use.  But once you register a username, it becomes yours alone.  We cannot, however, guarantee that a guest's username will remain available for that guest to use.

Just one more thing about usernames-- We realize that Barnabas is the most popular character on the show, so please know that we're not going to stand in your way if you have your heart set on a name that's some form of that character's name; I just want to point out that the following names are already in use:

ABarnabas
Barnababy
Barnabas
BarnabasCollins
Barnabas_Collins
Barnster
SonofBarnabas
collinsbarnabas

If anyone has a question regarding registration, please don't hesitate to reply to this post or ask it on the Testing. 1, 2, 3... board, or you can email it to one of the forum administrators.

Hope to see you on the board! [okb]

No problem, blkeagle22!  In your profile, next to Personalized Picture, is a listing of all the avatars in alphabetical order.  The batch of DS pics are under "DS68..." and are named the same as in the above topics on this board by MysteriousB.

Hope that helps!  And please don't ever hesitate to ask a question. :)

Calendar Events / Announcements '02 I / DS mention in BUFFY mag
« on: May 18, 2002, 05:17:56 AM »
June's Buffy the Vampire Slayer magazine has an interview with guest star Tom Lenk (Cyrus the minion and more recently nerdy villain Andrew) that closes with the following paragraph:

"And though Buffy may have endeared Tom to Boba Fett and Liza Minelli, don't expect him to get drawn easily into any other vampire shows.  'I do sit through Dark Shadows every morning,' he says.  'Is it a soap opera?  Or is it just really bad acting?  Sometimes they look over, and they're reading their dialogue off a poster.  It is so frightening!  My roommate has it on every morning, and I wake up to it.  Are they British, or are they not?  I can't tell because sometimes the accents are really bad!'"


Anyone familiar with this guy's annoying character will understand when I say that I'm SO going to enjoy whatever Evil Willow has in store for him next Tuesday.  ("Bored now." ;))

Thanks for posting this, Bette, and to Nicky...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!  Woo!!!!!

When we met via the SciFi boards, you were in High School, wow!  How time flies.  {sniffle}  I wish I could be there, but I'll be thinking of you.

Love you!  :-*
