What's better than doing work you're pleased with?

Doing work you're pleased with for an appreciative audience. :)

Tonight I got a double dose of that. :) First was with the Hotel California/The Prisoner filk I wrote to post in the 21st Century Fox forum, and the second was ... well, I can't really say who it was, but let's just say it was artwork and it was well-received. :)

All that icky stuff from earlier in the week is gone now. :)

G'nite everybody. :) Find somebody handy and hug them for me!

I would of never of thought of a connection between "Hotel California and the Prisoner." ::snugs::

[the-gneech.livejournal.com]

Actually, level_head deserves all the credit for that. :) I just took his idea and ran with it. But it is an inspired choice!

Well, remember to steal from one is plagarism. To steal from many is research.

I'm still not worthy. *bows up and down*

Waitaminute! You're a bat! Shouldn't you be bowing down and up?

The Prisoner? Ooooh. Nifty. Rover rocks. :)

--Rhan, "Who is Number 1?" "You are Number 6."

[the-gneech.livejournal.com]

Well, he did, until Arden threw the stick over the cliff...

*POP!* Hiiissssssssssss...

Heh. Yeah, I loved that. I really respect the fact that the Prisoner made a BALLOON one of the scariest things you'd ever seen. Most folks would be like... "Oooh, a scary balloon..." And then would be promptly squashed. Plus, the roar was great. ROOOOAAAR!

Did the midget servant ever have a number? I can't remember if he ever did or not.

--Rhan, Number 2 and 7/16ths.

[the-gneech.livejournal.com]

Nope, he was simply referred to in the script as "The Butler." And in one script, he actually had *gasp* a line of dialog!

"I'll see if he's available, sir."

Fortunately, they cut that out. :)

-The Gneech <-- knows way too much about that show

[rhanlav.livejournal.com]

Ah. I was pretty sure he was sans number. I just couldn't remember if I'd just 'overlooked' the number or not. And he actually had a line? Wow... And your right, it probably was for the best that it was removed. He was more mysterious that way. :)

--Rhan <-- doesn't know enough about that show

[the-gneech.livejournal.com]

As far as I know, the butler was the only one who didn't have a number. "The Supervisor," the bald guy in the control room who always said, "Orange Alert!" when it was time to release Rover, had a number, but I don't know what it was.

Of course, the butler could have been like No. 6, and just never worn his number...

-The Gneech

[rhanlav.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. I suppose that could be true. Although with the way he was always working with No. 2, you think he would have been wearing it. I suppose it'll remain the great Prisoner mystery.

But I don't *know* Jack Handy or any of his family! Can I hug you instead?

I, too, love the Prisoner. I totally missed the reference until I read your poem, too. Very tasty. Hehehe.

I once rented a two-video set of Prisoner eps and made my roommates watch them for six hours or so. Bru-ha-ha-ha!

*Ahem*

Anyhoo... DYK that Patrick McGoohan was actually the first person asked to be James Bond? He decided it was not a part for him because Bond has far too much sex, which offended his Christian morals. So he reccomended to them a friend of his-- a Scott by the name of Sean. Personally, I think it was a great thing for both of them. he does No. 6 so well, and can there be a better Bond than Conenry?!?
