I'd rather see her eat a live rat on Cheers, actually.

Was I the only one who was disappointed that "V" wasn't anything at all
like the book? If I was Thomas Pynchon, I'd sue.

That was Jane Baddler (sp?), *not* Kirstie Allie; Allie was the one in
Star Trek II: the Wrath of Khan.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Try "Jane Badler."

Shorter, better-looking, better actress, considerably brighter.

Wrong. She's fat as a pig, in poor condition, and smokes like a chimney.

If you're going to have an actress strip, pick an *attractive* one.

It wasn't a rat that Jane Badler ate. It was a hollow chocolate mouse.
The rumor mill reports that she refused a third shoot on the scene due
to the fact that she was past her calorie consumption limit for the week.

Actually, it's more directly derived from a different book....

"NECROSCOPE 'V'," by Brian Lumley. (Subtitled "DEADSPAWN.")

Available at your nearest bookstore.

Pardon me, I think you mean "Wrath of Kant" This is the film where James
Tirebiter Kirkegaurd wrestles with the metaphisical illuminations of
western philisophy. The whole movie is one big setup where he travels

Close, but you are mistaking the breifcase in "Pulp friction" with the
trunk of the Nova in "Repo Man". This starred Emelio Valdez as the
repoman wannabe who splits the winning lottery ticket with the
disgrunteled postal employee. and NO, I DO NOT HAVE A PICTURE OF EMELIO

This is entirely incorrect. The "hooker with the heart of gold" was
played by Gina Gallegos, also noted for her magnificent performances
in "LUST IN THE DUST," an episode of "VOYAGERS," and her starring work
in "THE COLOR OF MONEY;" she is also noted for her magnificent
portrayal of Mel Gibson in "THE YEAR OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY."

Harry Dean Stanton was played by Robin Williams, the assault victim
in the park was played by Cindy Williams, the music was done by
Vaughan Williams, and the piano solos you *thought* that Sheen
was playing were actually played by Roger Williams; and the President
was played by William Devane.
The major problem with the movie occurred when all the Bills were paid.


By the way, the Nova With The Alien In The Trunk was played by Herbie
The Love Bug, due to a gutsy casting decision by the co-producer, a
retired "Monkee."

I don't know what this original thread was about, but someone
said something like wouldn't it be great if Kirstie Alley peeled
her face off on an episode of Cheers like she did in "V." Well,
actually she did pull her face off on Cheers. It was in a dream
that Sam Malone had, she pulled her face off and she was
Al (the older guy who sat at the other side of the bar.) At the
time I thought it was just creepy, but not having ever seen "V"
perhaps it was a reference to that?

it was a small dog named "Snuggles", and he didn't really eat it, he
just bit its head off.

Casey Kasem wrote a song about the incident, as I recall -- that was

I beg to differ. Sure, Harry Dean Stanton was in "Repo Man", but he


played the hooker with the heart of gold. He played the disgrunteled
postal employee (walking across the desert in a dark suit and red baseball
hat, who could forget?) in James Mitchner's "Texas", and later revived the

Now you see, you have to make the trolls ridiculous, but just believable
enough that we might be able to actually snare someone. Kirstie Alley ate
lots on Cheers. Think about it! If she didn't eat, she'd starve to death!

I hate to correct you, Gardner, because you are generally so wellversed
in these matters, and do great credit to alt.krunk, but in this case I
feel that you are in error. First off, Valdez does not split the ticket
with the postalworker, but with the old coot played by Walter Brennan,
who sits around the fire toothless because he lost his fake teeth to
the African-American repoman in a poker game. Second, it is not Martin
Sheen who opens the trunk, but his brother, whose professional acting
name is Jay Fulton. And the metaphysical illumination comes when the
NAZIS open the trunk of the car in the second-to-the-last-scene, and
are turned into space dust.

Indeed I misspelt it, I was afaraid if I spelled it Kirk&Gard everyone
would start talking. As for _Subtlety_, I tried. I only made reference to
3 western phiolosophers, left Frued completly out, did not discuss ego,
id, or super id because I knew it would denegrate into another of those
annoying "little timmy" threads that I hate and waste just so much
bandwidth, and not once made the joke "Does the name Pavlov ring a bell".
I thought I was being very subtle. But I DO appreciate these free lessons
from a.r.k. veterans. I have only been here since December and have
already learned so much. Can I try to snatch the pebble again?


P.S. Is it too late for the "five best words in the english language"

P.P.S. "Wrath of Cohn" was the 'Title' for a 'Spensor: Will detect for

Great, first biting the heads off rats now this. I'm afraid Michael Jordan

Actually, Ricardo Montalban (sp?) was the one in the "Wrath of Con" and the
"message" of the movie was "You can't cheat an honest man." George C. Scott
got an Oscar nomination for it, too.

P.S.--In the movie "What's New Pussycat", they flash "Author's Message" at
the appropriate time. I think all really deep movies should do that
too. Isn't it cool that Tom Jones is back in the charts?

You're a cruel man, Gard. This is the only thing you've posted in a week

No, no. You're thinking of "Welcome Back, Mr. Kotter" in which a high school
teacher in Brooklyn gets his revenge on the pawn shop owner and the cop who
anally raped him. The money-grubbing "crusty"(sic) old guy was in fact
Herschel Krustovsky, better known as "Krusty the Klown".

Actually, all of Russ Myers' films have a really clear "moral" section at
the end, where we learn that having unnaturally large breasts isn't enough
to be a complete person. I think he's too subtle, though. There's so much
that the audience misses the first few times they see the movie.

No, Krusty is Herschel Bernardi. Herschel Krustovsky is Charlie the Tuna.

Uhh, you've got "Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill!," the Russ Meyer movie
about the wild women in the desert with big breasts, confused with
"What's New, Pussycat?" the first movie Woody Allen wrote, which has
Tom Jones singing the title song.

It is a sign of how ignant you are, sir, that you are unaware that
"What's New, Pussycat?", the Hong Kong kung fu epic redubbed with
lines written by Woody Allen, was the SECOND film that he wrote, and
that the FIRST film that he wrote was "Please Don't Eat the Daisies",
which starred Paul Newman as an American tourist trapped behind the
Iron Curtain, and Julie Andrews as, you know, I forget exactly what
she was doing in the film other than playing kissyface with Newman.
Look for Jackie Gleason as a scientist with a lot of knowledge!

ObYouMisspelled: "Badler" and "Alley". Hope this helps.

Ah yes, trolling. Your charming domesticated primate custom of posting
deliberate misinformation, then jumping up and down and laughing like a
donkey at anyone so foolish as to think that truth or fact might have a
place in the discussions.

Talking of trolling and Jonathan Swift, I think he wrote the definitive
comment on the subject in his GULLIVER'S TRAVELS, for which reason I shall
excerpt it below.

>From _Travels into several remote Nations of the World, in four Parts. By
LEMUEL GULLIVER, first a Surgeon, and then a Captain of several Ships._
(London, 1726, corrected edition 1735) From Part Four, "A Voyage to the
Houyhnhnms", Chapter 4.

My master heard me with great appearances of uneasiness in his countenance;
because *doubting* or *not believing* are so little known in this country,
that the inhabitants cannot tell how to behave themselves under such
circumstances. And I remember in frequent discourses with my master
concering the nature of manhood, in other parts of the world, having
occasion to talk of *lying* and *false representation,* it was with much
difficulty that he comprehended what I meant; although he had otherwise a
most acute judgment. For he argued thus: that the use of speech was to make
us understand one another, and to receive information of facts; now if anyone
*said the thing which was not,* these ends were defeated; because I cannot
properly be said to understand him; and I am so far from receiving
information, that he leaves me worse than in ignorance; for I am led to
believe a thing *black* when it is *white,* and *short* when it is *long.*
And these were all the notions he had concerning the faculty of *lying,* so
perfectly well understood, and so universally practiced among human
creatures.

I'm curious. Did Beckwith ever actually say, something like that?.

> -- Andrew Beckwith "Grate spirits have always encountered violint

It's amazing, the fish you can catch if they don't pay attention. Even more
amazing is the fish you can catch if they do.

[Note: This refers to a discussion of the .sig in progress by somebody who
thought the misspelled Einstein quote was being attributed to Beckwith.]

>"Without trolling, the Internet wouldn't be where it is today" --John Yeung

Yes, it might actually be a place where information was exchanged and the
evolution of Mind and Species was kicked into gear. If I didn't know better,
I'd guess trolling was instituted by the Mind Police in their ongoing effort
to thwart any development toward clear and reasonable thinking, which effort
(they cannot, or refuse to, see) will ultimately destroy the planet, the
people, and the Mind Police themselves.

Think about it, won't you? Good night.
