"Twice upon a time, there was a temporal paradox...." Of course one of my favourite stories for short quips is, "REPENT, HARLEQUIN! cried the Tick-Tock Man". Totally great classic sci-fi.

Harry Potter is diverting, but the whole "He's the chosen one. Nobody can touch his performance. We oldsters bow before your young wisdom" thing gets tiresome after a while. It's easy to be interesting when you're the best at everything. It's much harder to be interesting when you're the most...

Basically. They are "Sir" or "Dame" but "companion of the order" is a lot like saying "associate member".

I love fatuous answers. Like starting a story, "Once upon a time, matter met antimatter. Once."

True, true, about knighthood. But that's where you have to understand the British system of honours. There are several ranks of knight within an order just as there are in the military. And to be a Companion of the Order of the British Empire is like being told, "Gee, that's a pretty song you...

It's like the old joke...What did Paul Revere say at the end of his famous ride? Whoa.....

What I'm SAYING is that AS A WHOLE acting is considered a middle class profession. Americans are the folks who pay their American Football players vastly, vastly more than they pay brain surgeons, Nobel Prize winning chemists, or their President. Same for their actors. And no, I didn't think...

Thanks so much.

Pack Mules scare me. They run in packs and he-haw at the full moon.

No. (And Lynyrd Skynyrd once said that too!)

A VERY nice pirate. "Pardon me good sir, but thou'rt standing where I want to slay someone...."

LWW and the old TV Series MISSION IMPOSSIBLE. After going through the secret agent pile, the chief sees photos of the four Pevensies. After calling them in, he plays a tape. "Your job...should you choose to accept it...find and neutralize the White Witch who is trying to dominate the world...

I go with the old Mae West joke. When people ask me if I'm free this afternoon, I say, "I'm not free...but I'm reasonable." ;-)

I have something that might make you stop and think. Three of the Pevensies stayed loyal to Aslan and they learned his other name in our world. What exactly did Susan do that was worse than lipstick and nylons? I'll tell you, and it's lurking right there in The Horse and His Boy. She was ready...

"Gainfully Employed" is but one form of employment. In addition to what I do for The Dancing Lawn, including producing three 2-hour audio dramas for NFC, I am a National Advisor to the Spiritual Emphasis Working Committee at Trail Life USA, Regional Chaplain Advisor, Area Chaplain Advisor...

As a retiree I have more free time and can be more generous with things requiring my attention. And I appreciate your good words.

OOO TTT TTT EEE RRR

SSSS PPPP OOOO OOOO FFFF

Couldn't agree with you more! I think it's part of the deconstructionist myth that there is no happily ever after, just breathing room. You see that in the later Star Wars movies that speak of "balance" between the light and dark sides of the force because for all of forever they're both hanging...

That's just what we need...movies made by people that don't agree with the source material. Kind of like making Close Encounters of the Third Kind but changing the ending so aliens don't really exist and everything odd has another explanation.
