Hey there Quasqueton-
[BTW, I think your polls are % wise the most interesting.]
Are you sure they were penny loafers?

I could have sworn they were the cheap sort of low moccasins that were made out of the thin leatherlike material you sometimes saw on the rock musicians of the early 80's... You sure they were penny loafers?
But as to your other things, don't sweat it too much. It ain't easy being a mod, whether in here or elsewhere. To consistently be a representative of the an "unbiased", totally fair dispensation of "justice" or fair play of some sort is real hard ... I wouldn't want the job.
As for the crossbowman going on to act in soap operas ... err ... I was so thrown for a loop by that I had to shake my head clear of the "HUH?!?!" dust floating around it. The Russians' have a charming folk saying: "To be hit by a dusty bag from around the corner." That's exactly what it felt like when I read this remark....
By the way, another addition of the actor array in recent movie updates. When Crow first appears on the scene he meets up with two thugs ... one is a very respectably skilled bowman and the other is his smoothtalking friend who engages unsuspecting wandering archer victim with his friendly conversation and offers the victim an archery contest with his fellow thug. Then, while counting down the contest he stabs the victim with his knife.
ANYwho ... this actor was Sir Philip Lucas in the A&E 6 hour release of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice novel. So, I guess he's still doing things. And by the way, for those who did not see that admirable version (my personal favorite) he behaves in that movie very similiarly as he did in HTS.....
