TheLaserSee, the trick in Avalon (over) analysis is to not predict future events, but to instead cleverly justify those events you most wish to see.There is no Avalon cabal.

That (along with the gesture) are supposed to refer to a whip being cracked.ie - You are whipped

Go Ceilidh! Serves Joe right for being a "social nitwit"! <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspot.com/KeenBoard/biggrin.gif">------------------

Ah, now I see the whipping motion Alan is making. Makes sense now.

It always did, Grimey.

Having been there, I will bet heavily on the "hacking here" option. Disturb me whilst I'm at my computer, and I get this whole, "Mess with me again, and I'll see how well you go with fava beans and a nice Chianti" outlook. Used to scare the hell outta my family, and later, my roommate. Makes me glad for a place of my own...BTW, what's with Ryan's shot at Alan, there? Does he know something that we the audience don't - yet? Perhaps Helene finally landed Alan over the summer. After all, so many others became attached...[This message has been edited by David Adrian (edited 09-26-2001).]

Ooh, and on a triple word score, too! ^^

Yay! A new, open-ended story line and the Whi-tttsh motion all in one comic!Heheheh... when in doubt, get hockey involved.

Ceilidh is being controlling. That's not good. Especially calling your boyfriend any kind of nitwit is not good. Seems like she's going to go too far with it and make him mad.

by **Guest** on Wed Sep 26, 2001 8:59 am

You scare family and friends with that look too? We should form a club or something... <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspot.com/KeenBoard/biggrin.gif">

Ach, I knew some people were gonna ask. I suppose I ought to make that a news item... but I won't. :-)

I formed a club once but nobody would let me cudgel them with it.

Look how bad Joe jacked up his relationship with Phoebe. Take it from someone who's been married for 11 + years, my wife STILL calls me a nitwit (actually one hell of alot of other deleted explicatives).

Does that count as a poke for the newbie?
