Thanks for the notice Stephen, I updated according to my usual procedure.

I'm somewhat intrigued by this SeaMonkey product...

[Sirgod]

LOL, and thanks for the Edit also.

It wasn't important but I couldn't resist the temptation to find out if I could.    Just a minor typo.

[Sirgod]

No Problem at all. It's good to at least know you can do it. Besides, using the mod tools are far and few between, so when you get the chance to use them, Take advantage of it.

I think that is only the 2nd time I've used the mod tools.  The other was to split a thread (Bonks).  Almost seems like I'm targetting the upper ranks.  But I wouldn't do that of course .  Add one very minor warning and I'm a most unexercised moderator (and like it that way).

You don't have to be a moderator to have total control of the forums. All you need is photoshopped pictures of Stephen and that poor poor goat.

You can't blame me.  You guys cleaned up the place and removed those who require moderation leaving me with peace and tranquility.

Have you seen the Blackadder II episode where he frames the head of the Black Monks?  I just imagined Stephen in that picture.  I just can't decide if he should be the Bishop or Lord Percy. 

[Sirgod]

Oh man I know the episode your talking about. they had a marathon not too long ago on BBC America.

So which are you then?

I've got the DVDs and the VHS tapes (giving the tapes to my sister)

(I need an innocent expression smiley today )

[Sirgod]

That's the one where the Bishop winds up in Bed with Black Adder right? I think I'll be the Turnip instead. 

Stephen

Stephen

No.  Black Adder is in bed with Molly (the inexpensive cute redheaded prostitute).  Lord Blackadder owes a 1000 pounds to the Black monks (banking with a smile and a stab).  Each time Blackadder is on the verge of getting the money to pay off the debt the Queen summons him and fouls up everything.  Sir Percy in an attempt to save Blackadder tries to discover how to transmute lead into gold and instead learns to make "green".

The Bishop ends up (drugged) posed in bed with Sir Percy (Sir Percy is in an "innovative" costume) and a portrait is made - with copies so the Bishops depravities can be exposed if he doesn't forget Lord Blackadders bad debts.

[Sirgod]

That's right, There are so many of them, I forget. When he saw the queen, She had made a bet with that one guy, and Black Adder had to pay everytime he got abit ahead.

That was last weekend.  I got better.

stephen

Thats the one.  When he finally had the money she told him that they were going to war with France and a special tax on the lords of 500 pounds was to be paid.  Since her chancellor Lord Melchet was broke she insisted Blackadder pay both, which took everything he had, leaving him desparate and inspired (leading back to the portrait mentioned earlier).

One of my friends is sort of a cross between Blackadder III (the butler) and Mr. Belvedere as to personality.  He is the one who introduced me to Blackadder.

What was the name of one of those last episodes, which was set in the Future, Albiet Not as funny as the Previous two series, It still was worth another look see...

Also, one of my Favorite Episodes, was when He hired that Lame captain, to set sail, Unfortuantly they sailed around England into the uncharted territory that he was supposed to be going to.

Blackadder: The Cavalier years.  Set at the time of Oliver Cromwell.  (Blackadder is a Royalist until the execution)
Blackadder Christmas special.  Dickensian
Blackadder:Back and Forth.  Set at New Years 1999 Blackadder has Bladric build a fake time machine based on daVincis plans only to have things go wrong when it works.  Explains the extincition of the dinosaurs among other things.

Captain Redbeard Rum.  Strongly implied that they did travel around the world (came back with a boomerang and a very special wine vintage) and Rum eaten by cannibals.

And I am not a bastard. I was concieved in wedlock...just barley of course. But hey, still under the wire!

Now where I was concieved, that's not so special.

...just barley of course.

Your a cereal grain?  Explains a lot.

barley, annual cereal plant (Hordeum vulgare and sometimes other species) of the family Gramineae (grass family), cultivated by humans probably as early as any cereal. It was known to the ancient Greeks, Romans, Chinese, and Egyptians and was the chief bread material in Europe as late as the 16th cent. It has a wide range of cultivation and matures even at high altitudes, since its growing period is short; however, it cannot withstand hot and humid climates. Today barley is typically a special-purpose grain with many varieties rather than a general market crop. It is a valuable stock feed (often as a corn substitute) and is used for malting when the grain is of high quality. It is a minor source of flour and breakfast foods. Pearl barley is often used in soups. In the Middle East a limited amount of barley is eaten like rice. In the United States most spring barley comes from the western states and most winter barley is grown in the southeastern states for autumn and spring pasture and as a cover crop. Barley is subject to several diseases including smut and rust. Barley is classified in the division Magnoliophyta, class Liliopsida, order Cyperales, family Gramineae.

Well at least you have interesting diseases.

Reminds me of when my Daughter was around 12-13 years old. Back then I made her , her own AOL account under the user name Zythum. she couldn't figure out why she was getting so much attention, untill she looked It up and found out I named her after an Egyption Beer.

Stephen

[Nemesis]

Zythum is at least as normal as some of the names I used to use in BBS games.  People were rather annoyed to be kicked around by someone called "Fluffy Bunny Feet" or "The Polkadot Kangaroo".
