  1. As far as the Western theme he posted, I alway's thought Brisco County, Jr. from the 90's was just a cheap ripoff of that show.

    Ah, but Bruce Campbell has a charm all his own. I loved his work in "Xena" and "Jack of All Trades," as well as "Brisco County, Jr." And you've got to love the title of his autobiography: If Chins Could Kill.

  2. And I, as well.

    Sometimes we try to give God options: Well, complete healing would be best, but at least remission, and if not that, then a quick and painless death, so at least he's not suffering a long time.

    Might as well pray for the best!

  3. When I was young (pre-teen), I had a few recurring nightmares, involving either my being chased or being abandoned. They just vanished; I don't know why. I do, occasionally, have a "boogeyman" dream; but they are usually presaged by my inability to turn on the lights. I know then that it's a dream and either wake up or "direct" the dream to something more interesting.

    I occasionally have the "back-in-school" dream, where I'm not sure how to get to my next class. My last real class was 25 years ago, so some things linger quite a while. A more recent variant of that dream has been my coming to a band rehearsal (or concert) and being unable to find my instrument or the music.

    I occasioanlly also have "bathroom" dreams, where I'm looking for a rest room. I doubt there's much psychology involved, because when I wake up I really DO have to use the bathroom!

    And, yeah, Chef. Sometimes I dream I'm naked in public. At least nobody's laughing!! :dance:

  4. Hiway was correct, of course. Though most people remember Diana Rigg as Emma Peel, she was preceded by Honor Blackman as Catherine Gale in early B&W episodes. Diana was replaced by Linda Thorson as Tara King (my personal favorite) in the last season of the original Avengers. Joanna Lumley played Purdey in "The New Avengers" for two seasons in the mid-70's. All opposite the unflappable Patrick MacNee as John Steed.

    Honor Blackman was also, of course, wimp Galore in "Goldfinger." Diana Rigg was Tracy Di Vicenzo in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service." The latter film was the only to star George Lazenby as Bond, and the only time Bond actually married. (Of course, "Tracy" had to die.)

    When "The Avengers" first aired in the States, I thought it was about the Marvel super-hero group. I was disappointed to find out otherwise, but I grew to enjoy the show immensely. The 1998 film was okay, but a bit of a disappointment.
