So what do we know about this international woman of mystery?
She is cute in a fez, she recently moved to the most magical place on Earth (New Zealand), and she was mysteriously absent from Legion World for several years!
I don't know about the rest of you, but I find her one of our most intriguing long-time members!

What drives Karie? What's her favorite movie, her favorite color? Does she like bluegrass music????
Posted by Kent on :
I agree with EDE!
I'll let her tell you all about her Nobel Prize in biochemistry, her ability to speak 27 languages fluently, her inventions that made flatscreen TVs possible, and her ability to predict the lotto numbers by chanting Chuck Norris' name.
I wouldn't want to steal her thunder.
Posted by Fat Cramer on :
Why does she visit Legion World so infrequently? Is she related to Thomas Fatsi? Is she really a time traveler?
Posted by cleome on :
Well, that's it. I'm outta' here. Who can compete with all this dramatic intrigue AND fezzes?

She visits much more than she posts!
She's a... a... Lurker! Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
One time I was traveling to a foreign country and a mischievous pickpocket almost made off with my passport and wallet, when a mysterious woman captured the thief and returned my belongings using nothing more than a high heel and lipstick.
I've long suspected this was Karie!
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Hey, remember when Hitler's-Brain-in-a-Jar took over the entire planet by planting chips in our heads?
What, you don't remember that?
Oh, yeah. Karie stopped it before it happened.
Posted by Power Boy on :
i think she's really laurel gand's younger sister.
seriously, think about it, it makes sense.
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
The other day I was walking through my neighborhood and I saw a gang of teenage ruffians webbed up together in a tree (upside down). On it was a note that said:
"Dear Officers,
Enjoy.
- K"
I nodded to Pickles (my dog) and said "looks like another one in the win column for truth & justice".
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
I've heard that one smile from Karie can make flowers bloom in the wintertime.
Posted by MLLASH on :
Hmmm... Karie has shown she isn't afraid of wearing kooky headwear... much like a certain other poster we all know and love.
I think Karie should star in a series of all-ages mysteries involving various hats.
Up first: The Case of the Ridonkulous Derby!

*gasp* I cant believe you called me a lurker!!
Sometimes I dont feel like I have anything worthy to contribute... but I'm sure I'll get over that Posted by Dev Em on :
None of us really do sweetie, we just post a lot and eventually something sticks. Posted by Power Boy on :
they haven't got rid of me yet!! you're in the clear!

Bah! EDE was just trying to goad you into posting.
I'm wise to his ways...

Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Exactly! If anything, your not posting makes me feel inadequate for not having said anything interesting enough for you to respond to! Posted by Karie on :
Ok, I'll try be a bit more of an active poster from now on... dont want EDE to think he's not interesting Posted by Kent on :

Crap! Kent does have me figured out, doesn't he? Posted by Karie on :
To lose some of the mystery:
Born in Durban, South Africa, lived there most of my life, except for two years in London. Have recently moved to New Zealand, as the company I worked for in SA closed, and I was having a real tough time finding work. So, I moved to NZ where my parents immigrated to 3 years ago. I am not loving the fact that I am living again with the folks, as I like my space and independance.
I dont actually have a favourite colour, as a kid I could never choose between any one colour as I didnt want to hurt the other colours feelings. It was the same when it came to eating vegetables... one pea, one carrot, one bean and so forth. I do like purple, green, blue and red... all the rich jewel tones, and sometimes, very rarely, do I actually like the colour pink. I used to wear it a lot when I was small, so now I think I'm just trying to even my life out with other colours.
Favourite movies: Boondock Saints, Watchmen, Pulp Fiction, House of Flying Daggers, Gone with the Wind, Gentlemen prefer Blondes, Rock n Rolla... actually I like quite a few movies, all from different genres.
ummmm... I actually wear glasses, and sometimes wear contact lenses when I go out. No one that I meet when I'm wearing my contacts ever recognises me with my glasses on. I know how Clark Kent got away with his disguise.
I dont know 27 languages, just English, Afrikaans, a tiny bit of Zulu, and an even smaller smidge of Arabic.
I love painting, and sometime in my teens I just stopped doing anything arty. I found some of my old drawings the other day when I was packing up my flat, and could kick myself for not sticking with it. I was pretty good. So, while I am sitting here in the land of the long white cloud, I am playing around with some paints and charcoal. Sorta re-inventing myself.
I was absent from the boards for such a long time because I found myself in a rather bad relationship, which took awhile to get out of, and to get back onto my feet.
Hmmm.... I think all that info should be enough for now
PS: I do like hats!! he he Posted by Karie on :

It's amazing what the right set of heels and some lipstick can do Posted by Fat Cramer on :
So you're the femme fatale known in select circles as Lipstick Lass!

awww Karie, you sound like a very sweet and sensitive person. i used to have to play with all my action figures and teddy bears at the same time because i didnt want them to feel left out! and then i'd feel bad for the ones i made act out the villain roles.
Karie, Boondock Saints is one of my favorite movies, too.
One of my best friends favorite movies, as well. And I was the one who recommended it to her. Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Also a huge fan of Boondocks Saints! I used to watch it with my college roommates constantly!

There is going to be a Boondock Saints 2... or maybe it's already been released in the US. I dont really expect it to be as great as the first one.
Posted by Fanfic Lass on :
I generally skip sequels to movies I love. For instance, I've never seen Alien 3 or Alien Ressurection.
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
Based on interviews with Troy Duffy (the creator of Boondocks Saints), he seems really off the wall and totally out of touch with reality. I hope that doesn't translate to the sequel. I'll probably get around to watching it one day.

Cleome, I'm finally getting round to reading Hicksville. I'm loving it! Thanks so much for introducing it to me.

Karie, have you ever read Peter David's Fallen Angel?
Posted by Karie on :
No I haven't. Is it good?
Posted by Fanfic Lass on :
It's very good, and well worth seeking out in trades. It's about a female angel cast out of heaven and living in a noir-fantasy city full of magic and mayhem.
Posted by Karie on :
Ooooh! I'm definitely going keep a looksie out for it. I love noir type books. Thank you for letting me know about it.

For those who doubt that people from the future are watching us right now, consider the fact that Karie is something like 17-20 hours ahead of those of us in the continental U.S., and thus is almost always posting from tomorrow!
Thus her new nickname:
KARIE, GIRL OF TOMORROW! Posted by Karl Earl Nick Tain on :
Tell us, O Girl of Tomorrow, what is the future like?
Posted by Karie on :
If I tell you, it'll ruin the suprise!
Posted by Karl Earl Nick Tain on :
Can you at least give me tomorrow's wining lotto numbers?
Posted by Karie on :
You have Lotto on a Monday?
Posted by future king on :
Alas, even Lotto and other assorted lotteries' results are off limits to those of us from the future. That's classified as "sensitive" information. That sort of knowledge wreaks havoc on the timestream if it falls into the wrong hands.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help to you all. Posted by future king on :
P.S. Karie, from which timeline are you from by the way?
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
What's just as crazy is reading this article from The Telegraph newspaper in NZ but it's dated Monday December 27, 2010! BUT THAT'S TOMORROW!!!!! HOW COOL IS THAT???
Hey wait a minute .... I'm from the future, so this sort of thing should be no big deal for me, right? Huh!
Posted by Karie on :
Couple of hours to go and I can tell you what 2011 looks like.
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
Yet another reason why you, Karie, are awesome! Posted by MLLASH on :
Winner for best nickname 2010 goes to:
ME? For most beloved poster??? Oh I simply can't accept!
I pass this award on to EDE and KARIE-- GIRL OF TOMORROW!!!!
>heads to Karie's FB page to ask for predictions<

Tomorrow Never Dies, you know.
Posted by Karie on :
Lash... Keep an eye out on FB. I have 3 bottles of wine, and champagne to help with my prediction predicting he he...

Well I don't know this so called "Girl of Tomorrow." But if you guys vouch for her then she's A-OK in my book.
Posted by cleome on :
I searched for tomorrow and found... this thread!
[cue dramatic organ music]
Posted by Karie on :
First night of our play tonight... Yes, I was the token blonde in the play, but right now I'm in the garden, under the stars, listening to Muse and Offspring, thinking of the future.
Posted by future king on :
This is so sudden Karie! Aw shucks, thanks heeps. I'm flattered!!! Posted by Karie on :
Soooooo... Maybe I'm taking this future thing a bit too far. On Saturday night I had a dream about one of the residents at the old age home that I volunteer at, in my dream he passed away. Yesterday I found out that he actually did leave us for greener pastures on Saturday night/Sunday morning. I'm a little creeped out, but this isn't the first time. Any suggestions on how I can dream up this Saturdays lottery numbers??
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
visualize the ends results: fancy cars, big beachfront mansion, and all of your fave LWers over for the mega-party of all mega-parties! keep visualizing, and it's bound to happen!
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
I suggest walking around in a silver bathing suit, flirting heavily, and complaining about breaking nails! Maybe that'll get you in the mood!
Posted by Karie on :
The flirting heavily is something that I do on a regular basis, plus breaking nails. Cant I just wear a lot of silver jewellery instead of the bathing suit... The men in New Zealand are terrible gawkers!
