A little help here; Steve Owen - good thing or bad thing?

Not being a 'stEnders fan' I haven't got a Scooby Doo, what with me being a proper gorblimey Cockney geezer and all that

thanks for the clue, VG. I hope Big Mo is a good thing. it sounds like a good thing.

Herman Hesse? I'm delighted.

I have to assume that Roly has a minor role.

Pip! Micheal Moore?! Everyone else is a great artist, and I'm Micheal Moore?!

Ut!

Okay, I can see why. Good article in the Rolling Stone recently by Moore, all about GWB' s ties with the Bin Laden family. The bottom line is, the Saudis could pull their trillions out of our stock market, and refuse to sell us oil, and bring whole country down like they brought down the towers.

Fucked.

I really like the idea that I can be seen as both Solomon Burke AND Tom Wolfe.

I need help: Klinger? Kat Slater? (Not contesting them, just have no idea who these people are.)

Excited to be Vonnegut. Hi-ho.

Steve was played by Martin Kemp from Spandau Ballet, VG. He knocked-off his wife with an ashtray, sent thingymajig round the bend and tried to kill Phil Mitchell. A sexy baddie.

Big Mo is a lovable rogue, Mood.

*Out of all the soaps I only watch Eastenders so I'm not that sad.*

MBA - Kat Slater is about to be married to dodgy Andy but is still in love with Alfie.

I knew this was a bad idea!

Martin eh? Well I am a delinquent criminal youth with a gay lodger who used to be in Dads Army and an old-bag for a mum...or not. He does look a bit like me though.

A Rope Leash as rolie = stroke of purrrrre genius!!!

(Rolie was a much-loved poodle in the soap, that met his demise under the wheels of a juggernaut I believe)

I'm curious Pip...am I Salinger due to my recluse-like behavior?

MBA--this is klinger.

Oh, that Klinger. I'm cool with that. I mean, I am dressed as a bunny today.

Some obvious comparisons then

. Thanks Plaything. I think!

Pip-Shakespeare?!? Sigh! That is the summit of literary perfection. Thank you.

Playthingorpet-I used to watch Eastenders before you were allowed probably. Is Lin Slater terribly wonderful? Or is ignorance bliss?

I'd like to, but my digital camera is sort of out of commission (no batteries). Basically, I'm dressed in black with bunny ears on. And I have a big fake fur coat for going outside (even though, with this freakish weather, I hardly need it).

Yup . . . you say great things and then you disappear for long periods of time!

A link for us clueless ones:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/eastenders/characters/index.shtml

After I read the character profile, I am thrilled, thrilled to be Ethel Skinner, especially the part about being a bit batty and having missed the war "under the influence of sedatives and gin". There's also that terminal disease thing ala Debra Winger.

Oily, how could you know that I always pictured myself as old Margaret?

Pip, TS Elliot must be one of the ones that don't make sense, because that would be too flattering!

miss buenos aires · Post by **miss buenos aires** » Fri Oct 31, 2003 12:50 pm

Goody, maybe Pip is trying to tell you that you're a closet anti-Semite...

Me as Kat Slater: "Oi, what you lookin' at?"

Yes, and a misogynist to boot, but I am inclined to overlook these faults and bask in the glory of being incomprehensible!

older margaret, not old margaret goody. 1983 margaret. getting more attractive physically and psychically with each passing year after enduring extended tribulation.

Good call on the Kafka -- many are the days when I find myself unable to get out of bed because I have turned into giant cockroach.

And here's a joke for Otis re: the author of "The Brothers Karamazov."

The Russians are coming out with a new automobile. It's called a Dostoyevsky.

It'll be available in a two-door and a Fyodor.

Wacca-wacca-wacca.

Walt Whitman? Thank you, Pip! I don't understand it, but I'm flattered nonetheless.
