Poor Gwen and George. George never got her letter, and concluded that she wanted no more to do with him. He ended up marrying Priscilla. They had a good life, but there was a corner of his heart that remained forever reserved for Gwen and broken by the mystery of why she left him. Priscilla...

Among others. Also worked for SEA and a number of other boats that run shorter, localized programs on the U.S. East Coast. It seems that way, and it can be at times. But it's also a LOT of hard work! You'll find sailing professionally is quite a different experience than sailing just for fun...

To me, the most defining feature that Tolkien gave to D&D had nothing to do with the fantasy setting, but rather the "adventuring team" concept, a disparate group of heroes each contributing in their own way. In the absence of Tolkien, I could see Prince Valiant and Conan offering similar...

That's awesome! But, like Nebulous, I wouldn't have thought it would work:

If you're in Times Square, check out Midtown Comics at 7th Ave. and 40th ST. Great comic shop! Carl

Editor, Writer, Sailor I edit a series of nautical almanacs -- marine navigation handbooks for boat captains. I write for a few sailing and marine-related magazines. Used to be a newspaper reporter. I sail on tall ships that run semester-at-sea programs, teaching traditional seamanship and...

Hear, hear! Carl

Are you kidding? It's 2005, for cryin' out loud! I was promised a Holodeck by now!! WHERE'S MY HOLODECK!?! Carl

Good God, man! Come to your senses! Clearly you have fallen victim to some foul villain who has clouded your judgment with some form of evil mind ray or brain poison! :lol: Kidding aside, I really did think that movie was an abyssmal interpretation of Alan Moore's story, warped nearly out of...

In this time of ambiguous, politically correct holiday greetings, I'd like to offer a specific wish for you all to have a very happy and joyous... National Bloody Mary Day (Jan 1)* and National Science Fiction Day (Jan 2)* Carl *Offer valid in the U.S. and other participating nation-states...

I particularly miss: Lum's Hot Dogs They had sitdown restaurants and specialized in hot dogs steamed in beer. Disappeared in the '70s. Wonderful places. Wuv's Hamburgers This was an extremely short-lived Florida chain in the early '80s. The stupid name matched the ugly decor (everything was...

Well, you can't argue with what works. Carl

I think you're right. I remember reading that was the first one. The dog keeps showing up in the Zippy comic strip. I was wondering where it came from. I'd never heard of Doggie Diner. Carl

Right. I got that. I guess I'm in the minority then. I had no idea what you were trying to compare it to, and I wonder if it makes sense from a competition standpoint. Is lunch at say, an Applebee's, really comparable to grabbing KFC? Would someone thinking about going to Friday's really stop...

KFC has actually been using the phrase "casual dining restaurant" in its ads lately, and I've really had NO idea what they meant by that until now. Thanks. Carl

That's actually not the case, though this story seems to be taking on urban legend status. Sambo's was a separate and distinct chain from Denny's. In fact, the two were fiercely competitive. When I was growing up, we had both a Denny's and Sambo's in my town. I liked the food better at Sambo's...

I'll add in my vote for a mini-series. I don't see it working in a 90-minute feature.

I've also seen these called Halties, and they are great, but they definitely do cause people to react. I'm always having to explain that it's not a muzzle and that the dog is not viscious. Carl
