Magere Hein 1,400 Posted July 22, 2005 Hein: Trust me, reading the works of Art Garfunkel and poetry appreciation are two activities unlikely to go together. Here's a picture of the chair: regards, Hein 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted July 22, 2005 Now you're talking Hein. Let's get Garfunkel in there, it'd really make his hair stand on....... On second thoughts maybe not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrunoBrimley 86 Posted July 22, 2005 29. Art Garfunkel read this dictionary from cover to cover (all 1,606 pages containing 275,00 words): Webster's New World Dictionary Random House Dictionary Oxford English Dictionary Strangely that reminds me of the Simon and Garfunkel song 'A Most Peculiar Man' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted July 24, 2005 You're a charitable human Bruno. Such behavior reminds me of a creature halfway between a champion w**ker and full-blown autism. I must get round to reading my dictionary cover to cover.....oh I forgot, I have a life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tuber Mirum 125 Posted October 12, 2005 Sadly, Joanne Campbell, who was also in "Me and My Girl" died of deep veined thrombosis in 2002 at the age of 38. She played the receptionist and was a groundbreaker for being a black actress in a recurring role whose role had nothing to do with her being black. A real pity. Reminds one of Nichelle Nichols of Star Trek fame. They said the same about her some years previously. One presumes she isn't dead yet though? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted October 19, 2005 Reminds one of Nichelle Nichols of Star Trek fame. They said the same about her some years previously. One presumes she isn't dead yet though? Alive, well and playing a recurring role at Trekkie conventions these days. Discussed hereabouts on our Crew of the USS Enterprise thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Grendel 139 Posted October 19, 2005 Reminds one of Nichelle Nichols of Star Trek fame. They said the same about her some years previously. One presumes she isn't dead yet though? Alive, well and playing a recurring role at Trekkie conventions these days. Discussed hereabouts on our Crew of the USS Enterprise thread. She was interviewed on TV a couple of years back can't remember who by, think it may have been Graham Norton or Jonathon Ross, I don't think there is much chance of her going soon, she seemed pretty healthy and is only in her early 70's.

Lady Die 63 Posted October 20, 2005 (edited) She looks pretty good here Amazing how all those actors(?) in Star Trek have lived on the back of it for 40 years! I believe the program was originally only supposed to run for a few episodes. I'm sure all this should be in the USS Enterprise thread but I can't be arsed today.

Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted August 20, 2006 To return to one of my favourite Deathlist Threads, the Star Trek / Art Garfunkel Poetry Appreciation thread does anyone here live near Lyon. The slap-headed cock-knocker will be walking from there (at some point) en route to Grenoble in his terrifyingly pointless 'Eurowalk' during which he threatens more poetry. Would it be too much to suggest he meet with an unfortunate accident with a hunter polishing his sniper-rifle? Partake of the verb 'to be,' for all is well Even the I.R.A. can visit their moms. What Guiness stirs in the breast of every dragoon Breath itself returns in full bloom and becalms. Having bought and savoured Nimoy's excreble tome "Will I Think of You' I'll vouch for the Vogonity of its contents. In fact I once heard a Douglas Adams fan suggesting the idea for Vogon poetry was inspired by the fact that 'Spock' wrote such crap. Another celeb pushing him all the way in the pretentious drivel stakes is Art Garfunkel, an individual so self-obsessed his official site lists every book he's read since the late sixties and the number of pages contained therein. The link below gets you within range of Art's writing, mainly poems and 'prose poems.' 'Still Water' offers the worst of the drivel...you have been warned!

Slave to the Grave 26 Posted August 20, 2006 To return to one of my favourite Deathlist Threads, the Star Trek / Art Garfunkel Poetry Appreciation thread does anyone here live near Lyon.

Would it be too much to suggest he meet with an unfortunate accident with a hunter polishing his sniper-rifle? I walk to Lyon in January just for the thrill, at the groin of southern Europe, if you will. Certainly no shortage of hunters in France, always accidentally shooting each other so it's a distinct possibility. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Die 63 Posted August 21, 2006 Back on the Star Trek theme, I recently found out that George Takei (Sulu) is gay. That might put him at risk of an AIDS-related illness. BTW please don't anyone say "I knew he was gay - it's been common knowledge for the past 40 years". Just make allowance for me being a bit slow sometimes.

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted August 21, 2006 I don't think he's a huge AIDS risk, he's gay but he's not in the different club every night, different bloke when he does faction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Four Horsemen 26 Posted August 21, 2006 He might be a high risk candidate though, as apparently you shag one chinese gay bloke and half an hour later you feel like shagging another one......... I'll let myself out....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MyBrainHurts2 4 Posted August 21, 2006 Oh that was funny! Saw Takei on the William Shatner roast on Comedy Central last night. Takei and Nicholls were in attendance and looked quite healthy. The comedians had no qualms about ripping on Sulu being gay, and obviously, Takei didn't have a problem with it either. I think he's more at risk of dying of an age related illness rather than HIV/AIDS related illness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
