Sally, in all of Jonathan's Q&As between 1998-2001 when he did some charity performances, he said that he had not ruled out going to another fest.  I tend to go with what an individual says about his own druthers opposed to outside speculation.     He's certainly never said to me he was never going to another festival ever.

Wow!  That's GREAT Nancy!   [santa_grin] I sure do hope he comes next year!  [santa_smiley] The highlight of the last Fest was Jonathan's phone call - and if I didn't loan my cell phone charger to Jim Pierson, it may not have happened at all!  [santa_wink]

That would be nice, definitely.  Ah hah! You were the one who supplied the cell phone charger!  Do you right a white horse? J/K.

LOVE the photo of "bedhead Barnabas" (oh, I know I'm bad) and in a pink bathrobe--swanky!

Glad to hear the old dear is doing well and keeping the flag flying at 82!!

Is it pink?  I thought it was more of a rose colored, or maybe even cranberry.

Glad to hear the old dear is doing well and keeping the flag flying at 82!!

I'm almost afraid to ask, but what the hell.  What does 'keeping the flag flying' refer too.    [santa_azn]

"You askin' me to give up something I like?"

I hasten to respond that "keep the flag flying" means nothing at all salacious or indelicate.  It simply means to keep the ship in sail, keep the fort firm, keep on ... keeping on, as some radio pundit or other used to say.

Clear?

Added 12/04/2006--Hey-Why did the banner cut itself in half? It was fine the first day--is it the ghost of one of the Leviathans? [santa_undecided]
Later: Now it's working again...(begin the Dark Shadows Theme--ooooo-weeee-ooooo)

While it's been proven time and again that DSF is haunted, the problem was the way the code was written.  The original:
Code: [Select]
[b][i][color=Orange][move]HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MR. FRID! [cheer] [occasion13] [occasion15] [cheer][/move][/color][/i][/b]has been modified to:
Code: [Select]
[move][b][i][color=Orange]HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MR. FRID![/color][/i][/b] [cheer] [occasion13] [occasion15] [cheer][/move]
Other YaBB codes now follow the text closely, but to work correctly the move code must wrap around them.   If your banner doesn't work fine now, then you can blame the Forum ghost (s?).

There are some YaBB code topics on the Testing board that you should find helpful.

Well, that's too darn bad, lol.  The trashier element of readership will be sorely disappointed [santa_thumb].

Somehow I doubt Mr. Frid has stayed tuned to this thread through all the technical stuff, but just the same---

Happy Birthday sir!    And I call no one sir!    This is a first for me!

********

Not that anyone will be demanding personal appearances of me in my 80s, or ever, but still, I'm reserving the right to stay put, at that point, I'm just letting everyone know right now.     Of course by that time, I'll have some sort of holographic duodecaphonic surroundsound futuristic video setup, with a Star Trek like food replicator, so I won't have to leave my chair, or capsule, or coccoon, or whatever crazy device I'm plugged into.

Notice how I took a birthday greeting for a great actor and made it all about me.
