Ray, >you are gonna get flamed - for sure! Or should that be "more fired than >flamed"? Uh-oh. I don't want to get fired from the list, so I'd prefer flames anyway. I thought it was kinda funny. I love "K.U.P.". Now I know who >Basia, Kevin and Danny are supposed to be - but who would you have as her >sisters and Onslow (is that how you pronounce his name? I can't remember?) Yeah, that's how. Cast: Basia Hyacinth Danny Elisabeth :) Peter Emmett Mikolaj Sheridian Kevin Richard Rachel Violet [the one with the new Mercedes, sauna and room for a pony :) ] I just don't know enough about Basia's family etc, to find more people for Onslow and Daisy roles, as well as for Vicar and Vicar's Wife. >Can't wait for the next installment. But I will most likely be in the >minority, so as yo say - let the flaming begin. I dunno if there ever will be episode 2, but I'm glad you liked the first! (and that smoe didn't eat the mails, recently I sent a long mail and it didn't get through. How long can the Basia list mails be not to be smoized?) Oh yeah, I always wanted to ask. What does SMOE mean? Sado Masochistic Organized Emailers? Super Man Officially Enabled? Sex for the Masses Of Evangelists? Joe wrote: >Ray, your story is fabulous! I loved it!

THANK YOU! I was beginnning to wonder. You see, I could have sworn I'd seen a video for this waaaay back. I mean, I was 9 :) so it was really foggy. Maybe I wasn't seeing thigs after all! (and- big in the US is all relative) .I have to get > a new keyboard > because my old one shorted out from the watershed of > my tears > of hysterical laughter! I thought the thing about Mikolaj asking for money and getting it from Kevin was a riot. Sounds like a college kid asking for money to me- by any means necessary, you see. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE > everyone > understand that this is a joke! Remember my flame-proof shield from a few months ago? I have it erected around Ray now. :) But I don't think it will be necessary. All the appalled people would've said something by now. - --Leslie (why did Apple design this beautful computer but gave it a Lilliputian keyboard!?!?!) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
