Hey Goober, how do you add a trademark symbol to a post?

To be perfectly honest, Magnus, I wasn't entirely sure how to do it on a computer. I did that on my Wii's keyboard, which uses a point-and-click interface. After checking at an online database just now, I found out. Turn NumLock on, hold ALT, and enter 0153 on your keyboard's number pad. That lets you put in a ™ symbol.

Did a large procession wave their torches as my head fell in the basket,
And was everybody dancing on the casket?

I looked up Dark Shadows pictures alas I didn't see that one Miss Winthrop.  I would love to own several of the candids though particularly the  of Jon and Grayson in 1840 clothes, David Selby and Jerry Lacy (love David's love beads and chic 70's clothes YUM) and several others.  I am getting off topic it though.  I spotted the Petofi box today while watching early Collectors episodes!
If you like DS and want to have a fun  on a Facebook page that is open to all forms of DS and doesn't allow childish behavior like some groups; come on over to DIAESD! You do have to ask to be invited and I will approve you.

There are some good ideas here that I hadn't thought of.  My idea (subject to the gracious approval of the moderators) is that anybody can start a Prop Project topic simply by the using the format in the topic title that I used for the box that Count Petofi's hand was in:

Prop Project: [prop in question]

Once again, my original plan was to list the places where oft-occurring props occurred, but the discussion could broaden.

So, if anybody's interested, fire away!

An exorcism has been held at the virtual estate of Collinwood, an exorcism which has suspended time and space and sent one young man on an uncertain and frightening journey back to the year 1970....

i do believe: 

1)  that Cassandra and Sandor both wore the same "hairstyle"  that infamous black wig

and

2)  Joe Haskells jersey jacket was shruken to fit david sometimes and then enlarged to fit joe again. 

3)  the entrance way to the servant's entrance of the Old House and the entrance to the Cottage are the same one.

I could swear that Buzz was the original owner of at least one of Cassandra's lacquered black wigs.

The post about Edward's moustache reminds me of this episode where Edward and Quentin are having a verbal sparring match and the tape cuts and Quentin is laughing ... I always thought that Louis lost his moustache while he was making some epically pompous speech.

I think we should have a topic for the Afghan's one for the yellow and red and then the multi- colored one.

By the way Julia's sweater ended up in Amy's closet.

Loril54, I demand that you start just such a thread, on either temporally-transcendant afghan, or both.   It's not like anybody else is going to.

lori54, I encourage you to start such topics, using the format "Prop Project: ...."  If that format is used, then it will be easy to search for the topics in the future.

I just started a new Prop Project topic:

i believe it was discussed that perhaps a certain green wool coat gets alot of passing around.

however i think that each character...vicki,liz,cassandra...who dons this splendid garment actually gets her own for keeps!

Bother, how did I make my last post into a quote from Magnus (which it wasn't) without even noticing it?
