Erv tResan: I have most of TNG on tape. :) AtotrLycus: I only tape Xena, sometimes. Used to have some South Park episodes. Erv tResan: ::thinks my sister taped over three episodes of Ellen from last season:: StrmsCalm: I have two episodes of Ellen on tape...but I cant find one. :/ StrmsCalm: The Puppy Episode and A Hollywood Tribute. EtonTrSaal: ::decides to crawl out:: Erv tResan: You lost The Puppy Episode? AtotrLycus: Ellen? Bah. StrmsCalm: I never said I was a good person. :( StrmsCalm: I loaned it to my dad...I think he gave it back. StrmsCalm: Lycus, Vlen and I really got into it over IMs about Ellen... Erv tResan: Which means you also lost the Volkswagen commercial. : Erv tResan: :) StrmsCalm: He gave me one of those "homosexuality is immoral" lectures. StrmsCalm: The Da Da Da one? Erv tResan: ::nodnodnod:: StrmsCalm: My cousin works for the company that produced it. EtonTrSaal: Aaarg! Why'd he do that? Erv tResan: It confused me the first time I saw it. :) Erv tResan: But I liked it anyway. :) EtonTrSaal: ::grumbles about people who think that:: StrmsCalm: Because I yelled at him for not liking Ellen. Eirl tKaen: ::hides from such lectures:: StrmsCalm: ::is rather confrontational:: Erv tResan: ::wishies we got Lifetime at school, annoyed we don't:: Erv tResan: StrmsCalm: We didnt even have TV at school. AtotrLycus: Lifetime? I've looked at that channel. StrmsCalm: Oh, we have cable in one room. Erv tResan: They're showing Ellen starting this fall. StrmsCalm: Most people watch talkshows and sports. AtotrLycus: Kinda boring. It's all drama. Erv tResan: ::missed the first three seasons:: StrmsCalm: They are??? Yay! Erv tResan: Yep, they are. StrmsCalm: ::watched Lifetime for Sisters and China Beach:: AtotrLycus: Yay? StrmsCalm: I have about 30 episodes of China Beach on tape. :) EtonTrSaal: ::slowly crawls towards the door, doesn't have anythign to contribute:: StrmsCalm: Stopped watching Sisters when Ashley Judd left. AtotrLycus: I've seen Ellen. I didn't like it. StrmsCalm: Run, like the male that you are! ::grins after Eton:: StrmsCalm: Why not, Ato? AtotrLycus: It just wasn't funny. It was stupid. Erv tResan: Was it her in the chicken suit? :) AtotrLycus: Chicken suit? StrmsCalm: I didnt see the chicken suit one... Erv tResan: Yep, chicken suit. Erv tResan: ABC forgot to include in on their website... Eirl tKaen: ::follows Eton:: EtonTrSaal: ::still crawling to the door, about halfway now: Erv tResan: I didn't like it, though. StrmsCalm: I liked when Ellen and whatsherface went on the vacation together... Erv tResan: ::mostly loved this season:: AtotrLycus: I've seem the "coming out" episode, one other, and parts of another ant the series finalie. Erv tResan: Laurie. StrmsCalm: Those were the best two ever, Ato. StrmsCalm: The Puppy episode and the series finale. Erv tResan: You liked the series finale? StrmsCalm: My mom said if they'd all been as funny as the series finale they might still StrmsCalm: be on the air. StrmsCalm: Yeah. Ilia tReki: ::a plant begins to slide across the room:: Erv tResan: Good. :) Erv tResan: So did I. :) Ilia tReki: ::moves over to shield Eton and Eirl:: StrmsCalm: The asbestos stuff had me peeing in my pants. Erv tResan: Most critics said it was unfunny. EtonTrSaal: ::crawls up to the plant:: You lost too? Ilia tReki: ::"sshhs" and motions them along behind the plant:: StrmsCalm: "Ibm...I...B...M..." Ilia tReki: ::nods:::) Erv tResan: ::giggles:: StrmsCalm: The critics I read said it was appropriate, poignant, and important. EtonTrSaal: ::sneaks behind the plant:: Erv tResan: Then there was her cartoon. :) AtotrLycus: I just don't think it's a good show. StrmsCalm: Oooh yeah.. Erv tResan: Ellen and her Fun Bunch with the Harlem Globetrotters in Outer Space. :) StrmsCalm: Not funny, or offensive, Ato? Ilia tReki: ::slides it along towards the door:: StrmsCalm: Ellen and her Funbunch...in outerspace...bleah bleah blah... EtonTrSaal: ::slides it along with her:: AtotrLycus: ::raises hand:: I'm saying it's not funny. Erv tResan: Did you see the episode with her theme song? StrmsCalm: Destroyed the human race! Erv tResan: ::can't remember when it was:: StrmsCalm: Well, of course its not funny, thats why it got cancelled. :) Erv tResan: Let's not go there... StrmsCalm: Hmm..I know Melissa Etheridge sang the original song.. Ilia tReki: ::glances around::sticks her head up over the plant:: Night all. :) EtonTrSaal: ::wondering when Ato will get that the two discussing it don't care that he doesn't like it: StrmsCalm: It got cancelled because its ratings were terrible. Ilia tReki: ::dives out the door:: EtonTrSaal: Night Ilia... Erv tResan: Not really... StrmsCalm: ::grins at Eton:: Erv tResan: It did about as well as Spin City. StrmsCalm: Yes really. EtonTrSaal: ::cowers:: Erv tResan: Which got renewed. AtotrLycus: ::sits next to Lera:: Hey! I like Spin City! Erv tResan: So do I. StrmsCalm: The whole gay thing was a last-ditch effort to save the show. StrmsCalm: And it took viewership down about 25%. EtonTrSaal: Bye all. Erv tResan: Bye, Eton. StrmsCalm: I think Spin City is offensive and unfunny, myself. ;) EtonTrSaal: ::dissapears:: AtotrLycus: Offensive?! AtotrLycus: How? StrmsCalm: But I cant stand comedy, in general. Erv tResan: ::giggles:: StrmsCalm: Yeah...too sleazy. Erv tResan: Did you see the one where Mad About You got a parental warning? :) AtotrLycus: How can you not like comedy? It's funny! Eirl tKaen: bye AtotrLycus: ::thinks:: What a lame defense... StrmsCalm: Mad About You getting a parental warning? StrmsCalm: I like stand-up. Erv tResan: Bye, Eirl. ::huggle:: Erv tResan: On Ellen. AtotrLycus: Which episode? Eirl tKaen: ::huggles back:: StrmsCalm: And Spin City *is* sleazy. StrmsCalm: Oh yeah, I think so, Lera. :) AtotrLycus: It's not sleazy, it's funny. Erv tResan: I thought that was hilarious. :) StrmsCalm: The only new comedy I liked this year was Just Shoot Me. AtotrLycus: It's not as good as it used to be, though. Erv tResan: ::never seen it:: Erv tResan: When's it on? StrmsCalm: And thats because no one in Just Shoot Me ever has sex. AtotrLycus: I liked "That's Life" and "Lateline." StrmsCalm: I have no idea. Networks dont have any concept of "timeslot" AtotrLycus: Bpth of which are cancelled. StrmsCalm: I only watch Xena, Law and Order, La Femme Nikita, and the Pretender. Erv tResan: ::watches Mad About You, Home Improvement, ABC Wednesdays, Law and Order, and ER:: Erv tResan: Yes, way too much TV. :) StrmsCalm: How can you watch ER and Law and Order??? Erv tResan: I like them. AtotrLycus: I watch The Practice, Spin City (sometimes),Drew Carey Show, South Park... StrmsCalm: I *hate* shows about bad people. StrmsCalm: I only watch shows about good people. AtotrLycus: And the Herc and Xena episodes with Bruce Campbell. AtotrLycus: And sometimes other ones. Erv tResan: You watch Drew Carey? :) StrmsCalm: Home Improvement bores me...:) StrmsCalm: Drew Carey disgusted me... AtotrLycus: Yup. I missed the season finilie, though. Erv tResan: It's next week. StrmsCalm: I couldn't stand looking at him. AtotrLycus: Not here. Erv tResan: Oh? StrmsCalm: Where are you, Ato? Erv tResan: Why, is Pizza on? ::hides:: AtotrLycus: Or maybe I just missed a different one. Erv tResan: The season finale for Drew Carey is the wedding between Oswald and Kate... AtotrLycus: Oh yeah! I also watch "Three Guys, A Girl, And A Pizza Place". Erv tResan: Two Guys. StrmsCalm: Bleah. StrmsCalm: Comedy. Erv tResan: I saw it twice. AtotrLycus: Whatever. StrmsCalm: And ER has no nice, likable people. Except the young doctor guy. Erv tResan: I liked one, hated the second one. StrmsCalm: Ato, where you from? AtotrLycus: Two, three, same thing. AtotrLycus: I'm in Illinois. StrmsCalm: Ah. Erv tResan: The show FOX didn't want. :) AtotrLycus: "Ah"? StrmsCalm: What, ER? Erv tResan: No, Pizza. StrmsCalm: Oh, thats because its crap. ;) Erv tResan: Yep. StrmsCalm: FOX also turned down Southpark. AtotrLycus: Hey! Erv tResan: And ABC called it a hit... Erv tResan: ::grumbles:: StrmsCalm: ABC paid for it, they *had* to. ;) AtotrLycus: Pizza is a good show. Erv tResan: Mainly because it was on against worse crap on FOX. Erv tResan: Not Party of Five. :) StrmsCalm: Fox tends to have lots of crap. :) StrmsCalm: Party of Five also has no nice people. AtotrLycus: Sometimes I'm forced to watch "Seventh Heaven". AtotrLycus: Ugh... StrmsCalm: Seventh Heaven has nice people. :) Erv tResan: I don't watch PO5, but I know it helped Pizza's ratings go down. :) StrmsCalm: I only watched the one TV Guide said not to miss though. AtotrLycus: And I also have to watch "General Hospital" when I get home. AtotrLycus: Double Ugh. StrmsCalm: I *love* General Hospital. Erv tResan: What network's Seventh Heaven on? StrmsCalm: And One Life to Live. StrmsCalm: Umm....UPN, Lera. Or WB. StrmsCalm: WB. Erv tResan: ::doesn't watch anything on UPN or the WB:: StrmsCalm: Not Voyager or Xean? AtotrLycus: It's a good show, but I like more believable plots. StrmsCalm: Xena, I mean? Erv tResan: One word about Voyager - catfish. Erv tResan: That scared me. StrmsCalm: Oh yes...one episode out of what, 75? AtotrLycus: I used to watch Voyager 'til they changed the time. StrmsCalm: TV Guide profiles Voyager every week saying how great it was. StrmsCalm: The season finale got an 8 out of 10. :) Erv tResan: Plus I like Spin City and Dharma and Greg better. :) AtotrLycus: Now it's on with Carey and Pizza. I'll stick with ABC for that hour. StrmsCalm: Dharma and Greg is anti-female. Erv tResan: Oh? AtotrLycus: How? StrmsCalm: I'm boycotting it. StrmsCalm: Because Dharma's a ditz and Greg abuses her. Erv tResan: ::raises an eyebrow:: AtotrLycus: He does not! StrmsCalm: I've seen it 3 times. StrmsCalm: He does. He married a brainless bimbo for her looks. StrmsCalm: I prefer Xena. AtotrLycus: I've seen it a lot! He does not! Erv tResan: ::shrug:: AtotrLycus: Oh. You like women abusing men? StrmsCalm: Joxer and Auto aren't abused. AtotrLycus: Well, Auto isn't. Erv tResan: Who? StrmsCalm: At least, not yet. Next season Joxer and Gabrielle are going StrmsCalm: to hook up... StrmsCalm: Xena might get a lil jealous. ;) Erv tResan: ::guesses characters on Xena:: :) AtotrLycus: Xena and Gabrielle usually fight men. StrmsCalm: Even Joxer is smarter than Dharma. AtotrLycus: Not by much. Erv tResan: ::never seen Xena:: StrmsCalm: We tape Voyager. We have 3 VCRs. :) AtotrLycus: Auto is smarter then Greg, though. Erv tResan: Although I heard it does better than DS9. ::giggle:: StrmsCalm: Auto's *nicer* than Greg too. StrmsCalm: He didnt take advantage of Cupcake's brainlessness. StrmsCalm: He respected her. AtotrLycus: Don't be so harsh. AtotrLycus: Oh yeah? Remember "My Fair Cupcake"? StrmsCalm: Yes...and didnt Auto apologize and redeem himself at the end? Erv tResan: ::thinks ABC should have given Dharma and Greg a parental warning last week:: StrmsCalm: Lera, Xena's rated PG and has no parental warnings... Erv tResan: Good. :) StrmsCalm: And it has lesbians, death, blood, sex...:) Erv tResan: Good for FOX. :) AtotrLycus: Hoo-hah! StrmsCalm: Its not on Fox. StrmsCalm: Its syndicated. ;) Erv tResan: It's on FOX here. :) StrmsCalm: La Femme Nikita gets warnings up the ass. But its critically StrmsCalm: acclaimed. ;) Erv tResan: Well, it's not ABC... StrmsCalm: Ellen's series finale was a lot better than Seinfeld's... Erv tResan: ::nod:: StrmsCalm: Though I thought Seinfeld got what he deserved. Erv tResan: ::gigglenod:: StrmsCalm: Murphy Brown ends next week. :( Erv tResan: Another show I don't watch. :) AtotrLycus: I don't like that show. StrmsCalm: Another strong woman. :) Erv tResan: :) StrmsCalm: ::likes strong women, or smart, funny women like Ellen:: Erv tResan: Not that there's anything wrong with that. Erv tResan: ::thwaps herself for watching too much Seinfeld:: StrmsCalm: I hate Seinfeld. I find it offensive too. :) Erv tResan: :P StrmsCalm: What can I say? StrmsCalm: Stupid shows about mean people tick me off. StrmsCalm: I value their place in society though. Erv tResan: But they're all mean on that show. :) AtotrLycus: Do you think everyshow except Xena is offensive? Erv tResan: Especially Newman. :) StrmsCalm: No. Law and Order isn't. :) StrmsCalm: La Femme Nikita is about nice people being mean...now thats StrmsCalm: art. ;) StrmsCalm: Law and Order is about nice people being nice. Thats so wonderfullys Erv tResan: Well, usually. StrmsCalm: sappy and unrealistic...I watch it twice a day. StrmsCalm: 3 times on Weds. StrmsCalm: ::wonders if Carey Lowell will ever wear something more revealingt StrmsCalm: than a suit:: StrmsCalm: ::doubts it:: Erv tResan: Who? StrmsCalm: The hot lawyer babe. AtotrLycus: Eh? I don't watch that either. Erv tResan: Ah. Her. :) Erv tResan: Probably not. :( AtotrLycus: Only Law show I watch is The Practice. Erv tResan: I saw that once. :) StrmsCalm: I restate my earlier objections. ; StrmsCalm: ;) StrmsCalm: ::insanely picky:P: Erv tResan: What's wrong with The Practice? StrmsCalm: They're in it for the money. Erv tResan: So? AtotrLycus: I'll admit, it is offensive, but it's a great show! StrmsCalm: That's mean. Erv tResan: Why? StrmsCalm: I dont want to be offended! I want to be pleased. AtotrLycus: And so is South Park. AtotrLycus: I'm not offended by either. StrmsCalm: South Park is the only realistic show I watch. :) Erv tResan: I've only seen The Practice once - but I liked it. Erv tResan: And I've only seen South Park twice. StrmsCalm: I acted just like they do when I was 5. Erv tResan: We got to watch the Christmas episode in class. :) AtotrLycus: I still act like they do. StrmsCalm: What class? AtotrLycus: Most of my friends do, too. :-) Erv tResan: TV criticism. StrmsCalm: Ah.. AtotrLycus: Cool. Erv tResan: I had never seen it before. StrmsCalm: I took a movie class...it ruined me. Ive now seen more movies than StrmsCalm: anyone else I know. :) Erv tResan: I watch Drew Carey. :) AtotrLycus: Huzzah! StrmsCalm: A TV class would make me even more anal. Erv tResan: Another offensive but funny show. StrmsCalm: He's physically repugnant. StrmsCalm: I must have beautiful people! Thats why we have the StrmsCalm: makeup industry! AtotrLycus: Hey! That's not a fair remark. Erv tResan: Why I don't watch soaps. :) StrmsCalm: Its not a politicaly correct remark. But its fair. :) Erv tResan: We got to watch some of those in class, too. ::hides:: AtotrLycus: No, it isn't. StrmsCalm: ::loves soaps:: Erv tResan: And we got to watch Jerry Springer. :) AtotrLycus: I think he looks fine. Maye lose a couple pounds, but fine. StrmsCalm: I dont care about his weight. I hate that haircut. StrmsCalm: I hate people with short hair. Erv tResan: ::raises an eyebrow:: StrmsCalm: Well... StrmsCalm: Short blond hair. AtotrLycus: To quote one of my favorite comedy groups... StrmsCalm: Its better on brunettes. Erv tResan: What's wrong with short blond hair? AtotrLycus: "That's a strange expression, Bruce." StrmsCalm: On Drew Carey, it looks hideous. Erv tResan: Ah. AtotrLycus: It does not! StrmsCalm: He looks like an evil mad scientist. AtotrLycus: He does no-- Well, a little. :-(\ Erv tResan: ::giggles:: Erv tResan: And that's bad? StrmsCalm: And, he has a lovelife. I dont want my shows to have any AtotrLycus: Ugh. Weird typo. StrmsCalm: bad relationships AtotrLycus: What about the relationships on Herc and Xena? StrmsCalm: Xena and Gabrielle are very commited. StrmsCalm: And I dont watch Herc. Erv tResan: ::giggles:: AtotrLycus: I have no provlem with homosexuality on TV, but... AtotrLycus: I wish they wouldn't hint it, and not come out with it! It's annoying! Erv tResan: Like on Xena? StrmsCalm: ::stares at Ato:: AtotrLycus: Yeah. StrmsCalm: Ooooh. StrmsCalm: I see. StrmsCalm: Well, actually...thats the fun part. StrmsCalm: Its like a game... Erv tResan: ::giggles:: StrmsCalm: Every episode its "pick out the signs that they're really StrmsCalm: lovers" AtotrLycus: Same with when 2 people on any other show have had a relationship before the 1st season. Erv tResan: You mean little clues that get more and more obvious, and eventually tiresome? StrmsCalm: Xena and Gabrielle didnt meet until the first episode. StrmsCalm: Right, Lera. :) AtotrLycus: Somewhat, yes. StrmsCalm: ::cackles:: StrmsCalm: I loved tha tline. Erv tResan: :) StrmsCalm: Took me a second...I thought it was from The Nanny. Erv tResan: Nope - The Puppy Episode. :) StrmsCalm: Yeah, I remember now. :) AtotrLycus: Ugh... Not Ellen again. Erv tResan: No, Oprah. :) StrmsCalm: Besides, Ato...Xena fan-fic has a lot more...blatant... StrmsCalm: references to homosexuality. AtotrLycus: Opra, Uma, whatever. Erv tResan: Aaaaaaaack! Don't go there... StrmsCalm: graphic, even. StrmsCalm: about 1,000 stories. Erv tResan: Another thing we got to do in my TV class. :) AtotrLycus: Ah, but you have to remember that it's fan-fic. Erv tResan: Read Xena fan-fic. AtotrLycus: AKAL Will never happen. Erv tResan: And X-files fan-fic. StrmsCalm: Ooo, really, Lera? Which authors? StrmsCalm: Ato, they've already kissed and said I love you. Erv tResan: No idea. AtotrLycus: I missed that episode, then. Erv tResan: On the show? StrmsCalm: Yeah. StrmsCalm: Well, the kiss was in the 2nd season episode "The Quest" StrmsCalm: During a dream sequence...and Auto was in it. Erv tResan: Maybe I should start watching. :) AtotrLycus: What happened? Erv tResan: No parental warning? :) StrmsCalm: The I love yous were from the 3rd season "Debt II," StrmsCalm: "When in Rome...," and "Maternal Instincts" StrmsCalm: Oh, and "One Against an Army" StrmsCalm: Oh, the kissing one? AtotrLycus: On "The Quest". StrmsCalm: Xena had died, so she went into Auto's body. StrmsCalm: And made him steal her coffin from Gabrielle. AtotrLycus: Yeah, I know that. The kiss part? StrmsCalm: When they're out in the forest... Xena and Gabrielle go to StrmsCalm: la la land... StrmsCalm: And Gabrielle's like "It really is you ::choke, cry::" StrmsCalm: And Xena's like "You dont have to say a word. :::kiss::" AtotrLycus: Lips? StrmsCalm: And the scene cuts to Auto and Gabrielle frenching. StrmsCalm: And then Gabrielle looks up with surprise to see Auto standing there. StrmsCalm: And she says "Get your hand off my butt!" Erv tResan: ::giggles:: StrmsCalm: And Auto falls over cause Xena thwapped him. AtotrLycus: I've herd the clip, but never the scene. AtotrLycus: I wanna find the script to the Auto episodes on-line. StrmsCalm: I've never seen any scripts online... StrmsCalm: LaLa has parts of scripts in her reviews. Erv tResan: Why'd you want to know who the authors were? Did you write a Xena story? :) StrmsCalm: No, but I have a few favorite authors. Erv tResan: Ah. :) StrmsCalm: I wanted to know if they'd gotten any recognition. StrmsCalm: ::goes to look up LaLa's page:: StrmsCalm: http://www.beancomp.com/xena/index.htm Erv tResan: ::hides:: StrmsCalm: You can also download a clip of the kiss from the Xena StrmsCalm: Quicktime archive... Erv tResan: Where? StrmsCalm: About 50 clips.. StrmsCalm: Umm....http://www.xmission.com/~horseman/ I think. Erv tResan: ::thinks Jadzia and Lenara should have gotten married instead of her and Worf:: :) StrmsCalm: Or horsemen...:::ponders:: StrmsCalm: Gabrielle closes her eyes, thinks of Xena, and transports to the dreamplane... StrmsCalm: X: "Gabrielle? Gabrielle, it's me, I'm not dead." StrmsCalm: G: "Why? Why did you leave? There are so many things I want to say to you." StrmsCalm: : "Gabrielle, you don't have to say a word." StrmsCalm: Gabrielle is alternately ecstatic, distraught, and StrmsCalm: indignant (rightfully so). Xena, in her usual stoic Jack Friday StrmsCalm: 'just the facts ma'am' manner, outlines StrmsCalm: 'the plan' and attempts to comfort Gabrielle... StrmsCalm: G: "Xena, I can't lose you again." StrmsCalm: X: "Gabrielle, I'll always be here." AtotrLycus: I found it. StrmsCalm: Xena leans down, her lips on a collision course with Gabrielle's; StrmsCalm: just as their lips meet, the scene cuts to Autolycus and Gabrielle kissing. StrmsCalm: He's surprised at the turn of events and StrmsCalm: Gabrielle's equally surprised he isn't Xena... Erv tResan: Awww... :( StrmsCalm: A: "Well, I hope you two worked things out. StrmsCalm: G: "We did. Thank you, I mean that." StrmsCalm: A: "Certainly, whatever's necessary, I'm here for you both." StrmsCalm: G: "Autolycus." StrmsCalm: A: "Huh?" StrmsCalm: G: "Get your hand off my butt." Erv tResan: ::giggles:: StrmsCalm: A: "Oh, heh, heh, can you imagine--" Erv tResan: When was this episode? StrmsCalm: ::Grins:: StrmsCalm: Last year. Erv tResan: When? StrmsCalm: Umm... StrmsCalm: It wasnt the season finale... StrmsCalm: But it was close... StrmsCalm: March? Erv tResan: Oh. StrmsCalm: February? StrmsCalm: It wasnt a very good episode. StrmsCalm: It was the first I'd ever seen... StrmsCalm: And throwing Valasca, Amazons, and Auto at me was rude. StrmsCalm: Erv tResan: There was a similar line on Ellen - I was wondering if it was a clue. :) StrmsCalm: Hm? StrmsCalm: Here's one of LaLa's burning questions: StrmsCalm: Who put their hand on Gabrielle's backside? Autolycus or Xena? StrmsCalm: ::grins:: StrmsCalm: I'd say Xena, since Auto doesnt' really like Gabrielle. Erv tResan: Joe was pretending to be Ellen's boyfriend and she kept telling him to "get your hand off Erv tResan: my ass". StrmsCalm: ::grins:: StrmsCalm: I liked when she kissed Paige...and then tried to again, and StrmsCalm: Paige yanked her head around. Erv tResan: "Was that your tongue?" :) Erv tResan: ::Paige's Innocent Look:: :) Erv tResan: I liked that one. :) StrmsCalm: ::cackles:: Erv tResan: Even though it annoyed me. StrmsCalm: Auto hasnt been in much Xena this year... Erv tResan: Is that good or bad? AtotrLycus: Bad. AtotrLycus: But rumors say he may get his own show. StrmsCalm: He's only been in Tsunami and whats that other one called... StrmsCalm: Vanishing Act. StrmsCalm: Next season, he's signed a contract for 15 episodes. :) StrmsCalm: But Joxer's signed up for 22. Out of 24. ::shudder:: AtotrLycus: That was this season. Erv tResan: That's bad? StrmsCalm: Huh? StrmsCalm: Joxer is okay in small doses. StrmsCalm: This year he was in... Erv tResan: Ah. AtotrLycus: Very small. Erv tResan: Why? AtotrLycus: He's just really annoying. Erv tResan: More than Audrey? AtotrLycus: Uh... StrmsCalm: I like Audrey. :) AtotrLycus: I think everyone on Ellen is annoying. StrmsCalm: "Say Nay to Palm!" Erv tResan: ::giggles:: Erv tResan: I can't stand Audrey. :) StrmsCalm: The biggest criticism of Ellen is that the ensemble cast AtotrLycus: Except Bruce Campbell, even though I haven't seen his episodes. StrmsCalm: didnt make any sense. Erv tResan: I don't like Ed. :P AtotrLycus: Well, I'm gonna have to go. StrmsCalm: Me too. :) Erv tResan: Aww... bye. ::huggle:: AtotrLycus: It''s ast midnight. StrmsCalm: Thanks for chatting. :) Erv tResan: ::will leave as soon as the Xena clip finishes downloading:: :) StrmsCalm: Goodnight Lera. ;) Erv tResan: Goodnight! 5/17/98 1:28:59 AM Closing "Hnoiyika 5/16/98"
