No, Atari wasn’t Pong. But it was Saturday nights with Dad playing Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and Pitfall!

[anniescribe]

Sounds like fun – I don’t game but I can appreciate doing something you really like. Great!

[anniescribe]

What IS the new job anyway? It should surprise nobody I’m behind the curve on this …

[anniescribe]

Well, don’t be any stranger than you already are, at least.

[anniescribe]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

/said as Frosty the Snowman each time he’s reanimated

[anniescribe]

I wonder if it was the same agent I was grilled by – Friday morning?

[anniescribe]

“Two butter knives and a pencil sharpener? That’s it?”

“There was a rumor about a cheese slicer and a churning stick on board …”

[anniescribe]

Well, unless I win the lottery, I doubt I’ll be able to attend the next one. Also, if it’s 2015 and it conflicts with anything Universal might get going to mark the 30th anniversary of BTTF in Anaheim, DJ will be right out in the cold, I’m afraid. :-P

[anniescribe]

Ohhhhhhhh, you gone and done it now, Maybelline.

[anniescribe]

You know, I really thought Pecos was going to be at DJ this year and was severely disappointed he didn’t show himself. Entertainment! :-(

[anniescribe]

“N: See you did it again. Aggressive lies and you’ve got no new flowers in your garden. Just weeds.
And I put them there. It’s dying.”

Now I realize what Nancy reminded me of. It’d be like if Holly could mash his programming with Rimmer’s and then make a tall robot baby with Talkie Toaster. And have it raised by Cat.

[anniescribe]

Lister: I don’t want to be the butterer! I’ll be the shover.
Kryten: Sir, you’re not qualified the be the shover!
Rimmer: Give it to me. I’LL be the butterer. It would be an honor. It’s the high point of my breakfast.

[anniescribe]

Not yet here. Hopefully not at all!

[anniescribe]

No, that makes two of us Blissy. As is frequent, I am sort of lost ..

[anniescribe]

I never rode a camel. I did ride a horse a couple of times, but both times they were awfully tall and I was sort of afraid of falling off. I’m afraid not even a date with Chris Barrie might be enough to get me back up on one.

[anniescribe]

Sweetie, you try so hard. I don’t know what in life turned you into an angry human with no job and no friends that you can hang around here for hours hitting Submit, Submit, Submit, but I think just being you is probably its own punishment. Nothing anyone here can say to you can top that – that’s why you enjoy encouraging the continued abuse.

[anniescribe]

I also fucking KILL at cupcakes. Mine are beautiful as well as delicious. MMM.

[anniescribe]

Well, I’m overweight, less than stunning, and short, but I take issue that I’ve accomplished nothing. I’m pretty sure publishing enough articles in 19 years to fill 20 thick paperback novels, some of which have won state and national investigative awards, is *something.* At the least it means I’ve spent loads of time in that room with the monkeys trying to accidentally produce Shakespeare, pounding on the typewriters too. ;-)

Of course, it doesn’t compare to the unparalleled skill of using an Internet forum for your personal dribble-bib, but we can all only play to our individual strengths.

[anniescribe]

The hell did I just not read 90 percent of?

[anniescribe]

… And then they realize it’s in Alabama and the 17 people are the entirety of a Safeway sales convention. :-P

[anniescribe]

More viewers have seen Tim Conway than have watched Red Dwarf ever. #DorfFacts

[anniescribe]

OK, what the hell is Fluxx? Because I was there and I missed Fluxx, and if there was something related to BTTF that I missed out on, I’m going to have a good cry. (No, a cry has nothing to do with jet lag and being back at work, why do you ask?)

[anniescribe]

I lived in the South for seven years. You can blame that for marring an otherwise damn fine flat, bland Midwest non-accent. :-P

[anniescribe]

I was at The World’s End today. Random trivia only, considering it’s about 5,000 miles from my usual haunts.

[anniescribe]

Ha! I spent Saturday night until late supporting Guinness and chatting up Rebecca Blackstone (no, not like THAT). I was up.

[anniescribe]

That’s ok – I’m feeling less tired and harried now and more sorted. :-D

It was fun meeting everyone! It may be a long time before I can return, but someday I will, and maybe Mabel can sleep in a proper bed if we share, rather than the floor, LOL!

[anniescribe]

Mabel made it home OK. I’m not sure why I’m reporting the news except I was asked to by text, and apparently even while in other countries on holiday, old reporters can be drafted to … report.

Let’s hope I make it home OK too this weekend, and that fucker on the wing falls off instead of ripping through it trying to impress Captain Kirk.

[anniescribe]

Nothing like making random-sounding remarks for posterity about Rimmer in gingham with no reference while drinking at 11 pm, guys. I surely look forward to the Dwarfcast! :-P

[anniescribe]

Argh, forgot this wasn’t for DJ. READ, Ann.

Easier to PayPal you or to mail cash in-country? I’m still here. Will be in Oxford and London this week if you’re in either place. I live to accommodate, LOL.

[anniescribe]

Cozi – The question is, were you ever able to drive AWAY from Birmingham, finally?

[anniescribe]

Or, can you tell me what purchase and shipping would total to the U.S.?

[anniescribe]

Kris, are you still here at the hotel Monday morning? If you were at breakfast say, around 8:30, I might be able to buy one …

[anniescribe]

ETA: Dammit, strike 9:30. Tried to edit before it sent and you see that didn’t work. I mean 8:30, thereabouts.

[anniescribe]

You jammy bastards. :-D

[anniescribe]

Bless you for leaving Hattie alone. When you mentioned the train, I thought of that TBBT where Howard and Raj were fighting over who would hit on Summer Glau, and Howard’s creepy come-ons, LOL …

[anniescribe]

I guessed this is why Doug is going to be at DJ, to announce XI … or possibly the results of the costume contest … Six of one, half a dozen another. ;-)

[anniescribe]

“It’s particularly cool as I don’t need to dress up at all. ;)”

Not even to disguise yourself as Mr. Lister, sir?

[anniescribe]

SIX

[anniescribe]

ELEVENTEEN.

[anniescribe]

Then I shall return the favor :-)

EIGHT

[anniescribe]

Maybe for you. Still ten for me. ;-)

[anniescribe]

Is this a thing that if you’re going to DJ, you shouldn’t do? Or does it not work that way?

[anniescribe]

“Just so we have it for the memories (or police identification.”

Speak for yourself. I have no intention of making myself an easy target for foreign authorities….

[anniescribe]

On the topic of glitches, sorry mods, if you received a new topic post from me twice. It timed out on first try, then told me the second time it had already been submitted. I don’t know if it’s the site or my iPad what done it.

[anniescribe]

Hey Mabel, if you read this, maybe shoot me an email so we can see each other at DJ? I’m at anniescribe at yahoo dot com … :-D

[anniescribe]

I’d watch either of them play Holly again, though FWIW, I have liked Hattie a little better in the role since I first saw her doing it anyway. Norman hasn’t nearly pulled a Polanski or Chris Brown, something that renders his art less to the point I want no part of it (just IMO on those two), but from a boss’s POV, if he’s harder to work with than Hattie, I could see why he wouldn’t be hired again, if he isn’t and she is. If I have a story to assign and two talented writers, and one gives me a lot more grief, guess who gets the story?

[anniescribe]

Well, the vegans will be happy they’re not the ones being chased out of somewhere for a change ….

[anniescribe]

“That or Blisschick’s making a really clever joke.”

She butter not be!

“Grab them forks, we might need ’em!”

[anniescribe]

Oh, it’s a magic video box!
