Hi ssamoa! Welcome!
Would you like some coffee, tea, iced tea, or emergenc vitamin c drink?
I'm sure someone else will be along soon to offer you pie or Battenberg.
<mutters out of side of mouth: "Take the pie! The pie!">

(Oh, and I love Futurama, too. Haven't seen too much in the way of Dr. Who; I don't get it on any of my 60+ channels. Feh.)

Hey Ssamoa! welcome. Pull up a chair and take a peek at this

to banzai kitten: YAY!!!!!!!! sooo excited.

thanks to you & mooxico for the cheery welcome too. i'll have the emergen-c pls. i sell it at wk. but i would like to try a pc of the dreaded battenburg. can u burn it like thursday's mum? ta. my mum was only slightly better of a cook. my alarm clock as a child was the smell of burning toast & the sound of things clattering to the floor from the kitchen cabinets (she wasn't very good at stacking things either) but she was quite good at being silly.

Hi ssamoa.

help yourself to pie! Sweet pies are here <points> and the savoury are here. <points somewhere else>

Try the game pie: it is scrummy. (If you are veggie, though, I would not recommend it.)

Although I like both the new Doctors, I think that it takes a lot to beat Tom Baker. I also think that Sylvester McCoy was underrated.

It is a shame that Freema is not going to be in the next series until part way through its run. We need to know why!

Loved the 'Pertwee or Baker, T.?' mention in FAS. (And I'm saying nothing about how I got my hands on Series 3 eps months before Sci-Fi aired them in the US.) Plus the 'turning out of pockets' bit was very Doctorish, too.


Oh, I like 'em all, but have a special spot for McGann and Tennant, as some other ladies do. ;-)

i'll have the game pie, pls. i'm an omnivore.

oh,banzai kitten- i told my friends at work about the bootleg video from youtube and futurama. no one i knew was aware of it, so we're all very excited.

am currently reading 1st among sequels, and about to read both neil gaiman & nick webb's bio of doug adams, another fave with this crowd, i expect. i figure they have different perspectives. anyone read either yet? opinons? i even got "last chance to see",to get his own words about something in the real world (a place i try to visit as little as possible). blimey, perhaps a little obsessive? nah, just interested in an unusual mind and how it got there.

so i'm noticing the intersection of interests here of john hodgman, dr. who, fforde of course, futurama, harry potter and some other stuff. is it that fforde's readers are unusually intelligent with great sense of humor in a goofy kind of way or is that there are at several people here who have the same interests as i do so i perceive them as charming intelligent funny people because, well, they're a lot like me? hmmm. anyone else like the blackeyed peas? i'm watching their concert right now & really enjoying it.

"unusually intelligent with great sense of humor..."

I try not to fly in the face of public opinion.

(Gotta love Wyclef)

Hip-hop. Meh. R&B. Meh. Gospel. Meh. Country. Meh. Most stuff after 1980. meh.

Hands down Tom Baker and Mary Tamm (first Romana). Was my first crush...well..after Kermit the frog..hey..I was four. Dr. Who came on PBS right after Sesame Street. My whole family was hooked within a month. I haven't followed the new series much. I saw some of them and was a little dissapointed that they felt they needed to add a bit of romance to his character.

ssamoa: pretty much anything. Just that large chunks of my music are pre-1970s from which I deduce that I dislike a large portion of newer stuff.

OMG, did i ever geek out on this site!!! had a sensory overload. watched the animated tennant/freema/voice of tom baker episode (pt 1). BAAAAd animation worse dialog, but i AM a big cheeseheaded geek, so i kinda liked it. the outtakes of new dr. who - loved the robots at play.

found hubby a zappa file and he almost sucked his thumb and held a blankie while he watched- sheer ecstasy.

has anyone seen penn & teller's BS? saw the stephen fry episode- gotta love him!

thank you, arisia- what a goldmine!

I believe the technical term is "geek" :p

Sorry I'm late - I DID get some custard to go with the pie though - here, it's great with the steak and kidney.........

Actually, it was 198505 who suggested the site. :-) Mini-Arisia (age 10) liked the 'Infinite Quest', since it was a part of the kids show 'Totally Doctor Who'. I'll have to show her the outtakes.

No it's alright, I've got used to being overlooked, ignored and deleted by admin. <Marvin>Don't mind me, brain the size of a planet and what thanks do I get?!</Marvin>
