Mine is sad and funny at the same time.

Two weeks ago today, I had to take my rat-loving (ie: hunting) mostly fox
terrier, Gilbert, to the vet to be put to sleep. I didn't really make the final
decision to do so until I got home from work. The vet's office was closing quickly
so I had to change out of work clothing to "old" clothing quickly and didn't
really pay attention to the t-shirt I'd yanked out of a drawer.

  On the drive, I tried to focus on all the fun and funny times Gilbert and I
had shared. What immediately popped into mind was the time he caught a HUGE rat
and sat by the fence which runs along a busy sidewalk. I heard someone scream
like I've never heard scream before followed by, "EEEEOOOOWWWW! That dog has a
rat!"

  Gilbert absolutely refused to drop that dead rat. Even for a biscuit or hot
dog! I wonder if Screed ever did that at the Raven (when LaCroix wasn't there).
ROTFL!

  Anyway, as I was remembering that, I looked down to see I was wearing a
"Ratpacker" t-shirt a fan made for me years ago! What a fitting tribute to Gilbert
and FK moment!!!  <wRPg> Oh, yes, I did laugh!

<Raises hand and vigorously waves it>  Me, me,  ooh, me!  Well, I just noticed
late yesterday as I was laying down for bed, that I drive by a used truck sales
lot everyday at work to fill up the van I drive before my shift is over and the
name of the business is,,,now get this,,,Nick's Auto Truck Sales!!  That
combined with the occasional truck and trailer with the name of Knight
Transportation, gives me the giggles every time I think about it.

It was seeing a sign at the Greek Orthodox Church I pass on the way
to work that said "Souvlaki Saturday!  Sept 23"

I thought Schanke would have enjoyed that.

Hi Gang,

I, like so many others, are waiting on any report as to the  happenings at
LCA this year.  How did it go?  Did they raise their  usual mega bucks?

Please someone take a few minutes and let us know how it  went.
Thanks for your time and attending such a great event.   Next year, I'll be
going.

From:    Julia Kocich <jkocich@g.......>
Subject: Initial LCA Report

Here's a composite redacted post from Julia Kocich and Nancy Kaminski, List
Cobra and List Garter Snake, respectively,  that was posted to the UF list.

LCA 9  was a smaller event than in past years: there  were about 40
attendees, and many of the scheduled guests didn't make it.

But it was very very nice to see the usual suspects and watch the LCA
virgins figure out how it all works.

It was surprising how so few people managed to bid so much for objects
of no intrinsic value. As was frequently said, "it's for the
children," and people responded in an amazingly generous fashion.


Natsuko was there on Saturday, and told us stories. She and Ger share
a storage locker in LA. His side is very neat. Hers is less so. She'll
be playing
Imelda Marcos in LA in .. er .. January, maybe? And she's the head
of the voice/diction program for acting students at USC.
Natsuko also stated that she's "one of the two women in the world who
are not subject to Ger's charms". She didn't tell us who that other
woman is, though.


Doug MacRae was there on Saturday, with his lovely wife and their "baby," a
2-year-old Bernese mountain dog named Toblerone. He hopes to become a
member of the (wait for it) Toronto Police Department this fall. He's had a
job offer from another police force, but hopes to be a TO cop.

He expects to have his shield in December.
He'll make a great cop, I think, and you can bet that his squadroom
will be graced with caricatures of fellow officers and really neat
announcements for the summer picnic or Christmas party.

Toblerone the dog is very talented. Doug has trained her to be very
obedient, and she also  does tricks, including falling over dead when
he points a finger at her and says "bang!" She also made a $300 bid on
an article by barking once at just the right moment. Doug hastily
retracted the bid, although he did say that she would pay in kibble if
she won the item.

Barclay Hope was there on Saturday, as well. He's working, but not enough,
so he's trying to find another way to support his family.
Many guests told us that TV and film work in TO has declined since the
period in the 1990s when a combination of exchange rate and government
incentives brought a lot of work up there.

(Shoot, it's gotten to the point that TO now gets to play itself, as in the
movie "Sentinel" -- I think that's the title?)

Barkley and his wife Lindsay (one of the Nikita Torture Twins) live in
Vancouver with their 3 kids. He told us that there just isn't that
much work for guys in his age category (what, mid-40s? Pathetic!).


Emmy-Award-winning director Jon Cassar wasn't there, nor was Nigel, who's in
a play in Halifax.

We did have Brendan Long and Val Long, brother and mother to Kathryn
Long, present. Brendan looks uncannily like Kathryn, and has long
brown hair. He was helping with the auction.

He also auctioned off the stake that killed Divia ("This is the stake
that killed my sister!") plus a photo of Jon Cassar directing Kathryn
at the crucial moment. It was very strange to see a photo of Mr.
All-In-Black wearing jeans and a plaid shirt and a rather scruffy
looking beard and mullet. Ah, the Nineties!


Kathryn is still in Vancouver, teaching dance, and considering getting back
into acting.

I suspect the small size and lack of big-ticket items made it much harder on
Jayne and Renata and their crew,
but the weekend was like an extended family reunion, instead of
a  fans-adulating-the-actors con.

Other members of the LCA family who showed up were Brock Joliffe,
Props/SFX for FK and Nikita, and Nick Gray, director and producer of
FK. Nick has lost much of his vision,
and is quite thin, but is still as cheerful and forceful a personality
as ever. He made quite a few jokes about the absurdity of a blind man
auctioning off stuff he couldn't see to an audience whose bids were
also invisible to him.

The BBC Welsh guy was new, and acerbic, and funny.
This is a very humorous man named David who is Catherine Gray's new
fiance. Catherine, no relation to Nick, was also a member of the FK
crew. David is a musician who worked in the BBC music division before
coming to Canada. He not only bought quite a bit of stuff, he pitched
in and auctioned off items quite successfully.

On Sunday, Carlo and "Chloe" and the Secret Service guy from 24 were there.
I asked Chloe about the much-blogged-about kiss from Russ Limbaugh. Her
reply was, "He's very
good at getting publicity for himself" and that she was expecting a peck on
the cheek, not a kiss on the lips.

That's Carlo Rota of Nikita and 24, Mary Lynn Rajskub (Chloe), and
Glenn Morshower (Aaron PIerce). Mary Lynn is a tiny, tiny person, and
after some initial hesitation got the hang of this auctioning thing
and threw herself into it. Glenn, who until now was the image of the
proper Secret Service agent in my mind, turns out to be a guy who says
outrageous things and who shows quite a scary talent for shaking his
booty. Mary Lynn and Carlo did a dramatic reading from one of the 24
scripts that kicked the price up nicely. Carlo does a great Jack
Bauer. Heck, Carlo also can sell anything to anyone. By sheer dint of
personality and charm he managed to get the price of a random
selection of Nikita director's cut tapes into the $800 range.

Instead of the Coke can challenge, there was a plastic bedpan which was the
Smut Bucket: every time someone had a lewd thought, they were supposed to
put money into said bucket. Most of the guests signed it, and it was the
last item auctioned off. After spirited bidding against the BBC Welshman,
the UF List Cobra got it.

And, yes, when I was re-entering the US, the border guard asked me if I was
bringing anything back with me and I replied: "An autographed bedpan." There
was a beat. I decided to explain: "I attended a charity auction." There was
another beat. The border guard allowed as that was the first time he'd heard
that one, but let me in, anyway.

I hope others will correct and expand on this post.

All except Zeph, who is not allowed to offer the pix of me wearing my
autographed bedpan.

Cheers and thanks to Nancy,
Julia

Jan-Feb would be my first choice, but really any time other than Nov-Dec
would be all right for me (between NaNoWriMo and all the holiday stuff,
there's just too much going on then).

Well, I am one of the few that would like may-june or July August. Being a
teacher with a long comute daily, it's hard for me to have a war in the most
popular time. :)

So I vote for May-June
With July-aug my number two choice.

January or February would be best for me too, I guess.  It's the beginning
of a semester at college, so I could afford to divert a little bit more time
to a War.
