Just thought I would share my excitement! the Boomerang Cartoon Network is going to be airing a BotP 24 hour marathon on starting April 25th. Yesterday, I updated my digital cable to include the package that contains the Boomerang Channel. It was relatively inexpensive to get the 100 or so channels that are included. and I cancel the package at any time. Even though I will be on vacation, my DVR has 40 - 45 hours available for download on its hard drive. When I get home, I can transfer all of the episodes onto VHS. Using my computer, I can then transfer the VHS to DVDs! I am so excited to see these episodes as I only have about 12 episodes on my Rhino Box Set. Not enough! I cannot wait to see the Feirce Flowers as I haven't seen this episode in well over 25 years!

AHA! I think I have that channel too! Might be able to catch a few episodes and see what its like.

Woot! I don't get Boomerang, but someone's going to record it for me! Hurray!

Cep, this is Boomerang in the US, which isn't the same as Boomerang in the UK. It would be nice if it did get onto Boomerang UK as well though

Best use me dodgy foreign channel dishes then

That so completely stinks that ya'll don't get the same stuff in the UK. No offense, but I'll stick with America and our channels. What kind of foreign dish channels do you get Cep?

French, German, and many others. Spanish is the best at the moment

Cool. My folks have a big dish at their place, upon which I've actually found a Japanese station (unfortunately, that particular satellite is now gone). Watched a real bizarre anime on it probably about 6-7 years ago. ^_^ It basically was a *real* bad rip-off of all the popular "teams fighting with a mecha that is combined from their individual ships". But it was funny. ^_^; I have absolutely no clue as to what it was called, or anything specific, so I can't tell you more than that. Tell me, Cep, do you enjoy the unintentional hilarity of Spanish soap operas? Every now and then I'll watch one just because it's so bizarre. So pathetic.

Dish? Dish? does that mean there is food??

Unfortunately, no. Though that would be an incredible amount of food. It's this big bowl-shaped thing, about 4-5 feet in diameter, with a...thingy-ma-bob in the middle that sits in our backyard. To pick up different satellites, it has to move to the correct position, making a neat, loud, Ehhhrr noise. Scared the cats for a while, but they're used to it now. Drat.

Ooh, like that dish in that film that I can't remember the name of, but it sucked people into it and sent them into TV-hell? It had that woman who was Mindy in Mork & Mindy, and, gawd, I can't remember who else was in it. No good, my brain's fallen out. Funny film though, if you can work out what it was, honest... Besides, while it's possible we might not be getting it over here on UK Boomerang, we did already get BOTP shown for a year on Bravo a couple of years back, so I wouldn't say the channels here are so bad

I will admit I am not conversant with modern technology... But I was reading an artitcle in the Dublin Times (I think) about recent Iraqi purchases. These impoverished and decidedly lacking in neccesities people are busy scraping together the cash for such vital items as; Sattlite TV Mobile Phones and if they can manage it; The internet. (guess they want to see `Demons of the Desert`??) But as many people would say, information is a vital resource

Meridianday Would that be Pam Dawber in Stay Tuned? Yikes...where did THAT come from? Here is a little bit more info: The Marathon will only be showing the first 16 episodes. The remaining 69 will be shown on Sundays in 3 different timeslots starting May 2nd. Episodes have been remastered. I may be persuaded to share my taped episodes with those that cannot get them. What I desire in return is your best Mark and Princess story. Can be angst or wine and roses with a little nookie thrown in.

You sicko! Mark is clueless!

*snicker* Hmm...wonder if I tossed my little brother into the satellite dish if that would happen. Probably not, with my luck. It seems pretty docile for the most part. It's almost obsolete, though. In 2006, every channel will be digital, which means their satellite won't pick anything up. I wonder if they'd let me have it without forcing me to check into an asylum?

* mocks Tengu * Mark is clueless... He is just like his father.... He is self centered.... He is not a family man... Blah, Blah, Blah.... I MUST be a sicko for wanting to satisfy my deep need for more Mark and Princess fanfics? Do I have ANY supporters out there? *shields eyes with hand and looks off into the horizon*l

*waves from far off in horizon* Over here! I'm just not as vocal. I prefer Mark and Princess over Mark/Ken/Ace/the Eagle and Jason/Joe/Dirk/the Condor, anyways.

*embraces Elvin Ruler* Thanks Anyone else want to join our Mark luvs Princess club? I can even tolerate Jason Luvs Princess...oh and lets not forget the Mark and Jason Luv Princess Club!! ooh la la! I have to give props to Tengu for being a brilliant, if not, provocative writer though. Yes, I have read it. And I liked it. I can only hope to ever achieve that level of writing skill. Now, how can I get Tengu to put those skills to use and write me M and P love story??? Probably not in this lifetime, nor universe....

Well, if you could find something to blackmail him with... I do like Tengu's style of writing, but I also like yours. They're different, but they're both good.

So write an m&p or....drink, roses & nookie?

That has to be the rudest smiley ever. ... .... ... I mean...FLOWERS?! Boy, I'm hyper.

Are you threatening me? Actually I do have an M and P in the works, but I have a lot of RL commitments at the moment. And naturaly it is suitably degenerate.

Tengu, the prospect of a Mark & Princess romantic situation conjured from somewhere in your mind is truly terrifying Lola, yes it was "Stay Tuned" - I can't visualise one of those huge garden based satellite dishes without that film popping out of the recesses of my memory.

I'm not threatening you. I'm telling *Lola* to threaten you. She's the one you need to deal with. Yeah.

At your command: has some rather, um, interesting ones.

Cricket you trying to use tags?

Is that a proposition? Or a clarification? Tengu: No threats here sweetie! Only wishful thinking / hoping. Elvin Ruler: I love your enthusiasm. Not sure where you are in the states, but it seems that Direct TV can replace that big ole eyesore of a dish? No? Cricket: I did come across your website a few weeks back and I adore your M & P story. Just how it should be! Any plans to fill in the story before ( at Keyop's Wedding or even earlier?) or after ( wedding? babies?). More, more, more! Please and thank you! Your second link did not take me anywhere. I am DYING to know where it leads!

My parents will have to pay to have it replaced, which they plan on doing. I think they plan on switching to Direct TV, since it works pretty well. We all live in Texas, my university is just a few hours away. ^_^ I just think I'll miss the old thing. Maybe we can keep it. I don't know why we would, but maybe we can.

Cep: Well, anchors or whatever. Didn't work, obviously, but I think the masses will be able to interpret it okay. Let's retry: http://www.gatchamania.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1274&start=0 http://www3.sympatico.ca/m_s_schoen/cricket/indexbotp.htm WhoooHooo!! it worked. (Small things...) Lola: And, nope, no plans for sequels or prequels to Opportunities. Not ruling it out, but I've got a mega-honking-huge set of stories to tell with a slightly different version of the relationship, probably 350 pages in seven stories spread over two arcs by the time I'm done, so it'll be a while. Cricket (back to the word mines for a bit before packing for camp. Just hate it when the betas all agree on something that's gonna take lots of work to fix; much prefer it when they all disagree.)

Ok, Ill see what I can do OK, gang, just who gets to rape who first?

Originally posted by Lolabella Is that a proposition? Or a clarification?

Can it be both? Glad you got it sorted Cricket

Ok, it will be both...be patient please.

CEP: To answer your question ' Can it be both' Proposition: Depends on the flavor of wine and the color of the roses. Clarification: Simply stated. You give me a M & P story. It can either be 'Angst' or 'Romance'. Erotica is also welcome too. *blushes*. I can give Remastered BotP episodes. Offer is pending actual outcome of downloading episodes from DVR to VHS and then from VHS to DVD. I haven't attempted this yet. Cricket: Thanks for the link! Some pretty amazing stuff out there! I am still swoooning! When is the next writing challenge? Tengu: Looking forward to your fic. Also looking forward to who the Rapist may be. Since rape is not about the act of sex, rather, the need for power and control, it will be interesting to read about who needs the control and why. Elvin: So your Texas location explains it all. The Big Dish. Everything is bigger in Texas. Or so I am told.

Of course it is. That stereotype is definitely true. Big trucks, big suv's, big dishes, big egos, big dogs, big everything. Not all of us, however, wear cowboy boots and the like, though quite a few *do*. I've been told I have an accent, but I can't hear it. Hmmm...I dunno. We do say "ya'll" pretty much consistently, or at least I do. So some of the stereotypes are true, some are false, and some are based on smaller, less grand, truths.

Mwuahaha, I see there is no particular taste with the nookie though

Nah, she likes it any way.

I have Boomerang France on my satalite dish

Magnifique!! Does that mean you get to watch "La bataille des planètes? "

Or La Force G?

I don't think it shows the anime on the French version
