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

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.

Peace be unto you my brother. May your bowels flow like a gentle river through the tranquil meadow filled with medical waste and Japanese porn.

That was last weekend.  I got better.

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.

[Sirgod]

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.
