And can people be careful when throwing things around, 'cos, as you can gues from my screename, I get a tad nervous with things flying around my head.[This message has been edited by WillTara (edited October 20, 2001).]

On this one I give up. Any one else know? Thanks for the info on marrows, I think I will avoid them, both in eating and being hit by one. Thought they might be like neeps which I like (strange I know).
Again with the thanks, this time for the info on spotted dick...er...Richard. I thought it was custard with raisins, learned something again.
We can stay spoil free and have fun learning (am I turning into Willow?). Okay an easy question anyone can look this up. Charisma Carpenter was a professional cheerleader in which US city before becoming an actress? ------------------

Well hello spoiler free people, just thought I'd drop by, seeing as I'm also spoiler free for the next episode, but it's not because I'm spoiler free (I am a giant spoiler ho ) it's because we have no spoilers for the next ep, just the TV guide and BuffyUPN descriptions...it's so sad, although I am laughing at all the new "spoilers" in the spoiler thread, they're so lame, makes me go I'd love to tease you about the next ep but I have nothing to tease you with IP: Logged |

The railgun is assembled but I still can't get enough power to get it running. Perhaps we could capture a few spoiler hos, put them on a treadmill and dangle a really juicy bit of totally spurious spoiler gossip in front of them to get them running. There must be some way to generate power - suggestions anyone?

Forrister you questions are so good I posted one of my own because I could not answer yours.
Here it is again with an embelishment. Okay an easy question anyone can look this up. Charisma Carpenter was a professional cheerleader in which US city before becoming an actress? And for bonus points: Where did her first name come from? For a meat(y) question why is a deer venison when it cooked? For the power question: burn panties for steam power.

I have to admit to almost total Charisma ignorance, I always liked Cordy but never obsessed as I do about certain other Buffy ladies! That said the city of San Diego is sneaking around in my head as a possible answer possibly more due to loving that city than any knowledge - I may just have read it somewhere. Then again San Francisco is in there too. San something is my answer. Her name I have no idea,I had never heard of anyone called that before her so not sure who she could be named after if anyone. The power question drags on and on. I think that steam power is underestimating the demands still, we are talking hyper velocities here! Besides what will we throw around if we burn the panties. What about burning twinkies. Reputedly indestructable they might go forever like antimatter? And besides once the railgun is working we don't need the ammo for the trebuchet.

charisma was named after a perfume, i believe... from Avon, if i remember correctly. (i have been known to remember incorrectly in the past...)and as for being spoilerfree giving me more time to gaze loveingly (can't use the word ogle - she's here and says "ogle" isn't romantic enough...) at paige... yes... yes it does... and i'm not complaining! ooh! i have a question... in Wild At Heart, what does the license plate above Oz's bed say? ------------------

Katharyn, you are correct about her being a professional cheerleader in San Diego. I have not obessesed about Charisma either, just found it interesting she brought working knowledge of cheerleading to the role of Cordy, high school cheeleader.
Bex, you are correct her name did come from a bottle of Avon perfume. A fact, I understand, that caused her much embarrassment as a child.
Now to go research license plates. ------------------

Hey ho Bex, I had no idea about this one, I tend to sort of skip over S4 until Tara arrives, can't imagine why! Having looked though is it actually a license plate? There is a licence plate shaped sign that says "Lounges" but I am not sure if that is what you mean. I have way too much free time... Guess it is time that I set a question then troops... (is this seriously supposed to keep us occupied??!! - oh yeah it is working...) This one is a bit of math for you, never really specified in the show so you can't look up the answer. In "Anne" Buffy ends up in a demon dimension. Working on the theory that she was unconcious, then locked up and fighting for say 3 hours of the the demon dimensions time, how long was she missing from the real world? (the other required piece of data is in the episode.) Katharyn ------------------

I'm glad someone knew the answers to the Charisma Carpenter question - I certainly didn't. Cordy never quite made it onto my drool list. Katharyn, you just asked that question to tease me didn't you. You know I'm the one that can read and write, not the one that can count. My only reply is that "time is an illusion, lunch time doubly so." [WARNING - the following paragraph may be distressing to vegetarians.] Now venison, on the other hand, that's playing on my home turf and isn't really a fair question. The word 'venison' comes from the Norman French and was originally used to describe the meat from any beast of the chase (game, hunted animals) not just deer. I'd also like to add that it is a rich, tasty meat that, when properly prepared, can melt in your mouth. Bring on the Bambi!! [Sorry to all those vegetarians out there!] The problem of powering the rail gun still perplexes me. The twinkie idea is a good one but suffers from a major logical flaw. If the twinkie is indestructible and holds no nutritional value whatsoever, how can we break it down from matter to energy and is there any energy to be released anyway? I know how to split the atom (in theory at least) but I have no idea how to split the twinkie or what the consequenses of achieving such a feat might be. It could be the end of the universe as we know it!

Mmmn end of the universe is perhaps a bit extreme. I was happy with a cannon and I offered you earmuffs to avoid the bang!I think I may have it... well eventually. We could use rats. Just a handful to start with - running in their wheels (kind of like the ho suggestion but without the spoiler risk) but with carefully regulated breaks for procreation I reckon we could get up to a powerstation's worth within a few months and the trebuchet will do until then. Anyone got any Amy's they want to volunteer? Katharyn OK the flaw has just hit me,what do you feed the rats? Back to the twinkie... packed with sugary goodness for energy.

I was lead to believe "our" names for animals are English and "our" name for foods are French. So saying venison is a Norman French would fit.
As I type this I realize you are correct, this isn't a fair question. I have no idea what names our used in French, Spanish or Italian. That is the reason for the quotation marks around the word ours, this only works if you are from the U.S. or another English speaking country.
Do understand not obsessing or fawn-ing over Charisma. Bambi is a fawn.

I happily pledge my allegiance to you amongst the pure and unsullied, I've got the helmet and everything, it would be a shame to waste it!

Forrister you questions are so good I posted one of my own because I could not answer yours.
Here it is again with an embelishment.
Okay an easy question anyone can look this up. Charisma Carpenter was a professional cheerleader in which US city before becoming an actress?
And for bonus points: Where did her first name come from?
For a meat(y) question why is a deer venison when it cooked?
For the power question: burn panties for steam power.

I have to admit to almost total Charisma ignorance, I always liked Cordy but never obsessed as I do about certain other Buffy ladies! That said the city of San Diego is sneaking around in my head as a possible answer possibly more due to loving that city than any knowledge - I may just have read it somewhere. Then again San Francisco is in there too. San something is my answer. Her name I have no idea,I had never heard of anyone called that before her so not sure who she could be named after if anyone. The power question drags on and on. I think that steam power is underestimating the demands still, we are talking hyper velocities here! Besides what will we throw around if we burn the panties. What about burning twinkies. Reputedly indestructable they might go forever like antimatter? And besides once the railgun is working we don't need the ammo for the trebuchet.

charisma was named after a perfume, i believe... from Avon, if i remember correctly. (i have been known to remember incorrectly in the past...)and as for being spoilerfree giving me more time to gaze loveingly (can't use the word ogle - she's here and says "ogle" isn't romantic enough...) at paige... yes... yes it does... and i'm not complaining! ooh! i have a question... in Wild At Heart, what does the license plate above Oz's bed say? ------------------

Katharyn, you are correct about her being a professional cheerleader in San Diego. I have not obessesed about Charisma either, just found it interesting she brought working knowledge of cheerleading to the role of Cordy, high school cheeleader.
Bex, you are correct her name did come from a bottle of Avon perfume. A fact, I understand, that caused her much embarrassment as a child.
Now to go research license plates. ------------------

Hey ho Bex, I had no idea about this one, I tend to sort of skip over S4 until Tara arrives, can't imagine why! Having looked though is it actually a license plate? There is a licence plate shaped sign that says "Lounges" but I am not sure if that is what you mean. I have way too much free time... Guess it is time that I set a question then troops... (is this seriously supposed to keep us occupied??!! - oh yeah it is working...) This one is a bit of math for you, never really specified in the show so you can't look up the answer. In "Anne" Buffy ends up in a demon dimension. Working on the theory that she was unconcious, then locked up and fighting for say 3 hours of the the demon dimensions time, how long was she missing from the real world? (the other required piece of data is in the episode.) Katharyn ------------------

I'm glad someone knew the answers to the Charisma Carpenter question - I certainly didn't. Cordy never quite made it onto my drool list. Katharyn, you just asked that question to tease me didn't you. You know I'm the one that can read and write, not the one that can count. My only reply is that "time is an illusion, lunch time doubly so." [WARNING - the following paragraph may be distressing to vegetarians.] Now venison, on the other hand, that's playing on my home turf and isn't really a fair question. The word 'venison' comes from the Norman French and was originally used to describe the meat from any beast of the chase (game, hunted animals) not just deer. I'd also like to add that it is a rich, tasty meat that, when properly prepared, can melt in your mouth. Bring on the Bambi!! [Sorry to all those vegetarians out there!] The problem of powering the rail gun still perplexes me. The twinkie idea is a good one but suffers from a major logical flaw. If the twinkie is indestructible and holds no nutritional value whatsoever, how can we break it down from matter to energy and is there any energy to be released anyway? I know how to split the atom (in theory at least) but I have no idea how to split the twinkie or what the consequenses of achieving such a feat might be. It could be the end of the universe as we know it!

Mmmn end of the universe is perhaps a bit extreme. I was happy with a cannon and I offered you earmuffs to avoid the bang!I think I may have it... well eventually. We could use rats. Just a handful to start with - running in their wheels (kind of like the ho suggestion but without the spoiler risk) but with carefully regulated breaks for procreation I reckon we could get up to a powerstation's worth within a few months and the trebuchet will do until then. Anyone got any Amy's they want to volunteer? Katharyn OK the flaw has just hit me,what do you feed the rats? Back to the twinkie... packed with sugary goodness for energy.

I was lead to believe "our" names for animals are English and "our" name for foods are French. So saying venison is a Norman French would fit.
As I type this I realize you are correct, this isn't a fair question. I have no idea what names our used in French, Spanish or Italian. That is the reason for the quotation marks around the word ours, this only works if you are from the U.S. or another English speaking country.
Do understand not obsessing or fawn-ing over Charisma. Bambi is a fawn.

I'm glad someone knew the answers to the Charisma Carpenter question - I certainly didn't. Cordy never quite made it onto my drool list. Katharyn, you just asked that question to tease me didn't you. You know I'm the one that can read and write, not the one that can count. My only reply is that "time is an illusion, lunch time doubly so."
[WARNING - the following paragraph may be distressing to vegetarians.]
Now venison, on the other hand, that's playing on my home turf and isn't really a fair question. The word 'venison' comes from the Norman French and was originally used to describe the meat from any beast of the chase (game, hunted animals) not just deer. I'd also like to add that it is a rich, tasty meat that, when properly prepared, can melt in your mouth. Bring on the Bambi!!
[Sorry to all those vegetarians out there!]
The problem of powering the rail gun still perplexes me. The twinkie idea is a good one but suffers from a major logical flaw. If the twinkie is indestructible and holds no nutritional value whatsoever, how can we break it down from matter to energy and is there any energy to be released anyway? I know how to split the atom (in theory at least) but I have no idea how to split the twinkie or what the consequenses of achieving such a feat might be. It could be the end of the universe as we know it!

Mmmn end of the universe is perhaps a bit extreme. I was happy with a cannon and I offered you earmuffs to avoid the bang!I think I may have it... well eventually. We could use rats. Just a handful to start with - running in their wheels (kind of like the ho suggestion but without the spoiler risk) but with carefully regulated breaks for procreation I reckon we could get up to a powerstation's worth within a few months and the trebuchet will do until then.
Anyone got any Amy's they want to volunteer?

OK the flaw has just hit me,what do you feed the rats? Back to the twinkie... packed with sugary goodness for energy.

well.... i don't have an amy... but i do have a Maxwell Rattus Norvegicus... he's pretty speedy on the old wheel...despite being old and having a bald patch on the top of his head that makes him look like a monk...can rats be monks? i think they should be able to... don't wanna discriminate against rodents... that just wouldn't be fair!

Now venison, on the other hand, that's playing on my home turf and isn't really a fair question. The word 'venison' comes from the Norman French and was originally used to describe the meat from any beast of the chase (game, hunted animals) not just deer. I'd also like to add that it is a rich, tasty meat that, when properly prepared, can melt in your mouth. Bring on the Bambi!!
I was lead to believe "our" names for animals are English and "our" name for foods are French. So saying venison is a Norman French would fit.
As I type this I realize you are correct, this isn't a fair question. I have no idea what names our used in French, Spanish or Italian. That is the reason for the quotation marks around the word ours, this only works if you are from the U.S. or another English speaking country.
Do understand not obsessing or fawn-ing over Charisma. Bambi is a fawn.
