So if you had John Gummer, John Smith etc as respective godfathers you would have several Johns in the family.

Very atmospheric, especially with the late-autumn, early-winter look of the place. I must be taken in by certain types of visuals: To me now (many years after the premiere), the best part of "The Empire Strikes Back" is the stunning look of the sky surrounding Cloud City. > --Ann

The physical side works - the sort-of-curly (okay, messy) hair, the dodgy eye, the shabby clothes - but be blowed if I can match anything of My Now Distinctly Disturbing Hero character-wise ... _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

Vila and Bilbo
by Ellynne G. 11 Oct '01

11 Oct '01

So, if Vila's Bilbo, does that make Gan Gandalf? Compare - Gan dies in an enemy stronghold (although not the BIG enemy stronghold) while helping the others escape while they are being pursued by hordes of evil bad guys. Gandalf dies in an enemy stronghold (although not the BIG enemy stronghold) while helping the others escape while they are being pursued by hordes of evil bad guys. Other than that, it wouldn't surprise me to learn Gan enjoyed smoking. I guess this suggests whoever put the limiter in him was Saruman. It seems that the chronology was a bit messed up. While I suppose I just forgot Travis screaming, "Precious!" as he fell down the conveniently located pit, Boromir/Faramir (Tarrant) hadn't even shown up yet. I suppose Soolin's real name is Eowyn and that she has a brother alive somewhere. With her bow, Dayna seems more like Legolas. OTOH, she has a lot in common with Thrain out for revenge in Moria. Maybe she wandered in from the Appendix? Since Auronar are evidently some type of elf, I suppose that makes Cally Arwen unless she's Galadriel (the Thaarn was sort of a dwarf who fell in love with her, after all). Avon is Aragorn (I suppose he has the coloring for it). Blake is either Frodo (which makes Deva Sam) or, getting a bit too much of a negative view of everything that helps lead to his destruction, he's Denethor. I think this makes Orac a palantir. But, this finally resolves how they survived GP. The eagles are coming! The eagles are coming! Ellynne ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Re: [B7L] Vargas and Meegat

Now, I'm wondering what would happen if Vargas was switched with Jarriere. Jarriere: Welcome to Cygnus Alpha. Despite the Spartan surroundings, we hope we can make your stay here a pleasant one. Please note that all long term residents are required to join in the dayly worship services which are spent in adoration of the Great White Gowned One, the Wanderer of Various Wastelands in High Heels, the Supreme One Herself, Servalan! Blake: I think I'm going to be sick. Jarriere: It's funny you should mention that. Nearly everyone here has the same problem. But don't worry, antacids are served at all the worship services! I whip them up myself. I'm a medical genius, don't you know. Ellynne ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
