Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I do feel a bit embarrassed, like I've suddenly turned into Paris Hilton, but what can I say? My dad sprouted money!

IF it weren't for people on the Internet, I'd have no friends other than the people Hubby drags me out to mingle with. I don't know if I'd still hang out with them without having him around. But then, I might go to different places without Hubby, because he tends to pout if we're not sharing everything. He has some issues.

Either that or a really incompetent props master. But it does play out like an Agatha Christie murder.

The propmaster deserves to be either fired or indicted. That said, it is the responsibility of the actor to check his or her props before the show. I know damned well that if I had a prop knife that I was going to draw across my throat, I'd test the edge with my thumb first.

Actually, I'm pretty sure Monk already did this.

Not to mention it's a variation on what happened to Brandon Lee.

And also not too far off from how Beecher finally rid himself of Vern on Oz (though I think it was Keller who did the actual switching).

Always Anti-fascist!

Or that actor that was on Voyagers, only with a prop gun. But you should never point a gun at something you aren't shooting.

The propmaster deserves to be either fired or indicted
It was in the middle of a run, as I understand it. Therefore the Propmaster would not have done it. It would be the running crew who sets out the props for each performance, or a fellow actor. Let us not forget the possibility that he might have done it to himself. I'm surprised there was as much of a gash as there was. Clearly you can feel it cutting into you, and would stop! Also, those dummy knives have a very different feel to them than a real knife. In order to have the hollow out reservoir, and squeeze handle, or even the collapsing blades (for stabbing), they have a very different balance. Most curious.

Here's the hat and scarf
Oooo! I so need a scarf! It's flippin' cold down here! WTF!

I was pondering using this Benjamin Franklin quote:
I think the quote as is is fine, especially if you credit BF. But if you feel the need to PC it, maybe:
Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you...better...

or something like that? Just a thought. Feel free to ignore it, as I am not an English/grammar/spelling person. But I am a huge fan of Ben Franklin!

Shir, how did the Dentist go? You ok over there?

Ita, how about you?? continued~Ma!
