Subject: UPI Article/Interview on Ger & FK (better late than never?)

There's an article/interview on Ger & FK in the 3/14 UPI entertainment column
"Scott's World", called appropriately enough, "Graveyard Shift Actor".  It's a
little behind the times, in that the cancellation of the show isn't mentioned,
although it's hinted at (and Ger still talks about being on USA on Monday
nights...)

If you get clari.net, it's posted in the newsgroups:
clari.living.entertainment.misc, clari.living, clari.living.entertainment

Otherwise, it might be in your local paper, if they pick up the UPI arts &
entertainment articles.

Anything posted on clari.net has active copyright protection up the wazoo, so I
*cannot* post it to the list.  (They pursue violations with fangs bared...)

When I was in college, I used to have to wear my bathing suit... oh, about

I found Ribena at Harry's Farmer's Market in Atlanta, the big one
off Steve Reynolds Boulevard.  Take the left turn at the meat section,
go to the end of the aisle, and look at the right-hand shelves, toward
the bottom.  Mine was about $4.

Subject: Re: Ribena

If you can stand not having the Real Thing, most stores that sell any foreign
foods usually have an equivalent.  If I understand it correctly, Ribena is a
flavored syrup, that is supposed to be diluted down to the approximate
equivalent of kool-aid.  I've been buying something similar since visiting
relatives in what was then Yugoslavia (now Croatia.)  It comes in various
flavors, but the raspberry looks about the right color and consistency.  <g>
 I buy it at a store that sells German food, so probably any large-ish store
that has a foreign food section would have it.

OBFK--YKYB . . . I was watching _High Tide_ while getting my tax forms
together (for newbies who may not know, Rick Springfield played Nick Knight
in the original TV movie) and the perky blonde 'babe of the week' says to
Rick  "You're a *good* cop."

He looks up from under his sunglasses, on the beach, in the blazing sun and
says, "No, I *used* to be a good cop."  I think to myself 'If Nick knew that
this would be his fate as a mortal, I bet he would give up his quest for
mortality without blinking.'

Hmm... this might explain why we see the cast rarely actually drinking the
stuff.  In fact I can only recall a few instances where they actually
guzzled a glassful (drinking from the bottle doesn't count - you really
can't tell if it is actually Ribena) "Let No Man Tear Asunder" - Vachon
and "Fever" - Nick.

They also have shops in San Mateo and near San Diego (Solana Beach)
This address is a few years old, but as far as I know it is still

Subject: Re: Ribena

:ObFK and the main point of this post:  Ribena, for the uninitiated, is the
:stuff they use for "blood" in FK.  It's some kind of syrup (blackberry,
:boysenberry, blackcurrant, I forget) that is supposed to be diluted, but
:when used for blood, is drunk straight -- and it is sweet, a sticky cloying
:sweetness that lingers in the throat for a loooooong time.  Non-alcoholic,
:so the budding bartender need not be embarrassed for her non-knowledge; and
:it's English in origin, I think, so it's a little difficult to get here in
:the US.

It's made in England, but it is primarily enjoyed by Orientals (especially
from Hong Kong) and people of Russian descent. You can often find it in
Oriental grocery stores that cater to people from Hong Kong (as opposed to
Vietnamese or Thai or Japanese).

It is black currant concentrate. (Makes a nice pancake syrup, but don't tell
your non-FK friends what other uses it has or they may, like mine, refuse it.)

How about a strait-jacket?
(Sorry, but I tasted a few drops once and was on a killer sugar high
for the next 48 hours or so <g>... that stuff is _scary_...)

As far as finding this noxious substance...

I've just discovered that the little "British Foods" section of my
regular, non-chain grocery store offers R*b*n* in a variety of bottle
sizes.  So, next time there's a SoCal party, I could probably be
persuaded... (for the right amount of chocolate, of course...)

(And no, I am not a closet R*b*n*-drinker. I found this out
because I was nostalgically checking out the endless varieties of
weird Cadbury bars-- swear I tried a different one every single day

Subject: Sense of  Direction

  I have a random question.  I was watching LNMTA a few days ago,  and I
saw Nick fly off to rescue Natalie and Tracy (as he often does).  Now, I
tend to have a bad sense of direction, and it takes me a couple seconds
to orient myself when I go somewhere.  This is true even if I am familiar
with an area.
        The question is, do you think Nick, and FK vampires, have some
sort of built in compass?  They always seem to know exactly where they
are going.  Can you imagine a vampire with a bad sense of direction?

"Damn, I think I took a wrong turn at the Big Dipper"
or
"OOps, wrong murder.  I was looking for the one on Main."

It was in the back of my mind, so I thought I would ask.

Hi, just to throw gasoline and firewood on the embers of a thread that has

that this and the Fanfic lists were working on and we still need approximately
67 more verses.  From 99 I numbered the verses and I got to 68.  I also have
a verse for 1 and two for 0.  Does anyone have anything they want to add?  I

Subject: SOS:  More letters?!?

Yes, let's.

Do what Sharon, Susan, etc. said.  Write more letters:  to USA, to SFC, your
local cable company, and so forth.  Add this simple phrase to the end of
every letter sent to SFC:

*"When are you going to produce new episodes of FK?"*

Trust me, they won't remember if you've asked before.  This is the crew who
can't even figure out the *airing order*.  Tell your local cable company, if
you don't have the Sci-Fi Channel yet.  Tell the SFC that you are in the
process of petitioning your local cable provider to annex SFC, for this very
reason.  If you send them a letter, cc it to USA as well.  Show them where
our priorities lie.

And in the meantime, how about a secondary project as well?

Let's try and see if we can get the FK Soundtrack certified as a gold record,
shall we?  That means a mere 500,000 copies <EG>.  Think about it--- don't
you guys all know people who might like Fred's ambient genius, who aren't
particularly fans of vampires or FK?  C'mon, guys.  It's fun.  Play
"Music-Aficionados-I-Have-Known" with me ;) .  If you're a student, take one
into your campus radio station---  they've got more leeway in what they can
play.  As well as generating the concomitant publicity, it would be an
excellent way to thank Fred for his service to the list.  Heck, forget gold,
try for platinum ;)

Vaqueros and Reese's Pieces will have to wait until I have time to do some
scanning and tinkering, but I hope to have them up by next week.  Or so.

Also discovered that you can't take the images from the page if you have
Netscape lower than 2.0.  The AOL WWW browser and Compuserve's Spry-Mosaic
show the pictures full size instead of the dinky versions Netscape 2.0 shows.

And sorry about spelling Pizzaro incorrectly--my mind wasn't on
conquistadors as much as foam-core, pins, and glue.  I'm
phonetically-challenged.

May I also recommend that if you haven't gotten to CyberVanguard's interview
with Nigel, you definitely take a look . . . and a listen.  It took me close
to 2 hours to download all of the files, but I could just as easily have set
up my Netscape application to accept the x-wav files to play on the PC
Speaker (Windows) or through any Voyetra sound application.  It's worth the
effort and I think interviewer and interviewee both deserve a round of
applause for taking the time to give us this multi-media gift.

I think that Nick and Nat should be together because they fit perfectly.
And besides that, who else but Nat would put up with all of Nick's whining?

Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer.  Needless to say, I'm not
convinced that Nick and Nat should be together.

Would *anyone* care to convince me why Nick and JANETTE are soul mates, why
they should be together?

Or, if you perfer, convince me why Nick has NOT yet found his soul mate, or
has found his soul mate but now she is only flashback material.

Not bad...but I see LaCroix on stage doing really, really creepy
beatnik poetry--and possibly clearing out the club.  I'd love to see
him with the goatee, beret (sp?), dark glasses, and black turtleneck
and slacks.  Any poets want to attempt some LaCroixian-psedo-beatnik
poetry....?  (I know, I should go first....but I'm not a poet.
Wouldn't subject you all to that.)  Hey, I almost wrote "Beatnick."

Subject: Allyce "the Twit" Hunter's Fate

        My personal theory on Allyce "hold me!" Hunter's ultimate fate
after Dark Knight II is as follows. (Part of this has been in someone's
fanfic, somewhere, and it makes perfect sense to me)
        Lacroix, weak, staked, and one very unhappy vampire, summoned poor
stupid Allyce "Zombie Queen" to his side, and forced the baby vamp to (a)
take the smoking stake OUT of his chest, and (b) fetch him take out food.
:)  Meals on rollerblades, anyone?
        After a few months... a few weeks, a few days... as soon as he was
able to, Uncle did the only humane thing, and put himself out of his misery
and realized that Nick had been, for once, quite right. Allyce "Brain
Donor" Hunter made a rotten vampire, always whining about Nick, always
grossed out by the reality of her new situation, always, always asking
stupid questions about the Roman Empire. So he tricked her out into the
sunlight, shut the door behind her, then went off to a vacation in the
Bahamas. The End. Thank God.

           Which accounts both for how LC "I'm too powerful to die"
actually managed to survive Dark Knight II, and why we never saw Allyce
"Alexandra's Dumber Twin" Hunter again. {Okay, okay, fair's fair... she
wasn't THAT bad.... no, I'm lying. I've seen this actress in other parts,
doing a much better job. She WAS that bad in Dark Knight, but it was
probably partly the Director's fault. Standard Bimbo Victim #1 of the
series bites the dust...}

        I just can't see this woman surviving Going Across otherwise. I'm
sorry, that's the way I feel.

Okay, Why Nick & Natalie Should Be Together.
        'Cause they've been good friends for four years already, and ALMOST
know all of each others' bad points.
        'Cause they love each other (yeah, I know, not good enough, but
it's still worth mentioning).
        'Cause they both have a certain silly side to them.
        'Cause they're good/nice people (not always the same thing) who
have had rotten luck in the romance department (overall... I don't count
Janette, Nick was lucky to have her while he did) and they deserve a break.
        'Cause they're both brave heroic types, willing to die for each
other if necessary, and that kind of sacrifice shouldn't be taken lightly.
        'Cause Natalie isn't a blonde, so her chances of survival are
slightly higher than average if she goes to bed with Nick.
        'Cause (as someone else said) they're both pig-headed, and
inflicting either of them on someone else would just be Too Cruel.
        'Cause Natalie doesn't let Nick get away with the self-pity routine.
        'Cause Nick thinks Natalie's knees are adorable.
        'Cause it's the end of the twentieth century almost, and they
should have someone to see the millenia in with.
        'Cause I want to see Lacroix lose the battle AND the war.
        'Cause. Just because. There is no other way to resolve this that
won't be unbearable, just about... although, if Gillian wrote a really
realistic script, I'd be willing to bet I'd almost be resigned to Nick
flying into the sunset without Natalie. Almost.
        True Love Conquers All. The course of true love never did run
smooth, so this must be true love... which makes as much sense as it did
when the two lovers who first uttered the phrase in MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM
did so.

        'Cause I said so.

Check your area for English, Irish or Scottish cultural/social groups.
Someone involved with them may know where an import shop  may
be located in your area.

It's also available by mail-order from a store called "Best of British"
(1-800-000-0000). They sell it for $7.30 and shipping and handling
(for orders under $35) would be another $6. This would be expensive
especially for only one bottle but if there is no other way...

How about....Tracy's dad, Commissioner Vetter, and her mother want to

trying to play mortal for a night, as "daddy."  They get together

I'll go quietly, now...*NOT*.

Of course, if you watch really carefully, you can tell that when Ger/Nick
"guzzles" from the bottle he's not really drinking any of it.  1.)  The
liquid level in the bottle doesn't decrease and 2.)  If you watch his
throat, there are no swallowing motions as is common when people are
"chugging" a drink.

If you watch "Fever" again, you'll notice that never really see Ger/Nick
swallow it.  He's just kind of holding it in his mouth and then they cut away.
