Every summer here, Montana Shakespeare in the Parks tours for three straight months with about three days off the entire time, driving to all the little podunk towns (my home"town" has about 200 people), putting up the stage, putting on a performance, selling shirts and mugs afterwards to help raise enough money to keep doing it, tearing down the stage, getting to eat around 11pm, then going to stay at strangers houses before getting up the next morning to do it all again. They love their work and it shows in the performances. I've been going for close to 30 years now, and I haven't seen one bad performance yet. Those people are the reason I love Shakepeare. I've yet to see a movie version that comes close to what they do.

Packer fans welcome.

Nope. Can't say I've ever been to that forum, CapnRahn. I'll consider myself blessed (since I need all the blessing I can get

Liking Firefly might have as much to do w/ it being a kick ass t.v. show as with there not being very much else that's worth watching. Folks pay $40,$50,$60 a month for cable or satilite connection, and for what? Paris Hilton ? Who's your Daddy? Cookie-cutter cop or lawyer shows?
I simply enjoy Firefly because it's so unlike anything else on t.v. I only casually caught episodes of Buffy or Angel, so my alter to Joss wasn't making much headway.( But man, you should see it NOW!! )

For you, I offer the following:
A reception desk in a sort of office building.
Receptionist
(Rita Davies) Yes, sir?
Man I'd like to have an argument please.
Receptionist Certainly, sir. Have you been here before...?
Man No, this is my first time.
Receptionist I see. Do you want to have the full argument, or were you thinking of taking a course?
Man Well, what would be the cost?
Receptionist Yes, it's one pound for a five-minute argument, but only eight pounds for a course of ten.
Man Well, I think it's probably best if I start with the one and see how it goes from there. OK?
Receptionist Fine. I'll see who's free at the moment ... Mr. Du-Bakey's free, but he's a little bit conciliatory ... yes, try Mr. Barnard - Room 12.
Man Thank you.
The man walks down a corridor. He opens door 12. There is a man at a desk.
Mr Barnard (shouting) What do you want?
Man Well I was told outside ...
Mr Barnard Don't give me that you snotty-faced heap of parrot droppings!
Man What!
Mr Barnard Shut your festering gob you tit! Your type makes me puke! You vacuous toffee-nosed malodorous pervert!
Man Look! I came here for an argument.
Mr Barnard (calmly) Oh! I'm sorry, this is abuse.
Man Oh I see, that explains it.
Mr Barnard No, you want room 12A next door.
Man I see - sorry. (exits)
Mr Barnard Not at all. (as he goes) Stupid git.
Outside 12A. The man knocks on the door.
Mr Vibrating (from within) Come in.
The man enters the room. Mr Vibrating is sitting at a desk.
Man Is this the right room for an argument?
Mr Vibrating I've told you once.
Man No you haven't.
Mr Vibrating Yes I have.
Man When?
Mr Vibrating Just now!
Man No you didn't.
Mr Vibrating Yes I did!
Man Didn't.
Mr Vibrating Did.
Man Didn't.
Mr Vibrating I'm telling you I did!
Man You did not!
Mr Vibrating I'm sorry, is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour?
Man Oh ... Just a five-minute one.
Mr Vibrating Fine (makes a note of it; the man sists down) thank you. Anyway, I did.
Man You most certainly did not.
Mr Vibrating Now, let's get one thing quite clear. I most definitely told you!
Man You did not.
Mr Vibrating Yes I did.
Man Didn't.
Mr Vibrating Yes I did.
Man Didn't.
Mr Vibrating Yes I did!!
Man Look, this isn't an argument.
Mr Vibrating Yes it is.
Man No it isn't, it's just contradiction.
Mr Vibrating No it isn't.
Man Yes it is.
Mr Vibrating It is not.
Man It is. You just contradicted me.
Mr Vibrating No I didn't.
Man Ooh, you did!
Mr Vibrating No, no, no, no, no.
Man You did, just then.
Mr Vibrating No, nonsense!
Man Oh, look this is futile.
Mr Vibrating No it isn't.
Man I came here for a good argument.
Mr Vibrating No you didn't, you came here for an argument.
Man Well, an argument's not the same as contradiction.
Mr Vibrating It can be.
Man No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements to establish a definite proposition.
Mr Vibrating No it isn't.
Man Yes it is. It isn't just contradiction.
Mr Vibrating Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
Man But it isn't just saying 'No it isn't'.
Mr Vibrating Yes it is.
Man No it isn't, Argument is an intellectual process ... contradiction is just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says.
Mr Vibrating No it isn't.
Man Yes it is.
Mr Vibrating Not at all.
Man Now look!
Mr Vibrating (pressing the bell on his desk) That's it. Good morning.
Man But I was just getting interested.
Mr Vibrating Sorry the five minutes is up.
Man That was never five minutes just now!
Mr Vibrating I'm afraid it was.
Man No it wasn't.
Mr Vibrating I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to arg

As a Brit myself, I would just like to point out that it is generally not considered polite to turn up some place and 'stir things up' as a new member. If an old member decided the place needs a bit of a shake up then sure but to come in and mess with people you've never spoken to just for fun is more than a little rude.
Also you might get further in enlightening people as to what is wrong with their lives if you don't begin your post with something as derogatory as calling them a sheep.
I couldn't care less what you think of people on this board but I do think it should be pointed out that you could benefit from learning some manners.
I think an apology would be appreciated and respected at this point.

As far as an altar goes... I haven't got around to installing one because I'm having a hard time figuring out what the sacrifice should be. Joss is a hard deity to figure out.

Get a life, Heather. I wasn't being offensive to anyone. To think you wrote all that because of what I wrote kind of makes my point. So, thanks for that. For a Brit you appear to have no sense of irony what so ever. Well, at least Whedon does.
May none of your pizzas have unfortunte toppings.
