Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Kill this Thread V: the 24 hour version!

Who usually won, though?

I can't remember. He was taller than me, so I think he had longer legs. I don't know if that helped him.

if you can't remember, you must have lost.

I wonder if there'll be nul-grav hopscotch in the 31st century...

I'm thinking four-dimensional Four Square, myself.

Just so it doesn't involve a lab full of goats.

Instead of "ashes, ashes", when we played "Ring Around the Rosie" when I was little, we said "hopscotch, hopscotch". I'm not sure why.

"Ring Around the Rosie" is such an innocent childrens game about the Black Death. Next you'll be telling me that in the original Cinderella, the wicked step-sisters get their eyes pecked out by birds.

Actually "Ring Around the Rosie" is not related to the Black Death at all. That's an urban legend.

Still, the wicked step-sister did get their eyes pecked out.

In the Brothers Grimm version, they did.

However, in earlier versions of the story, there was no eye-pecking.

And, of course, as every Legion fan should know, the "original" Cinderella was Rhodopis.

...which was not a spin-off of the Mary Tyler Moore Show, no matter what Quis says.

I never said it was. Do you know who should have gotten a spin-off series from the MAry Tyler Moore Show? Hazel Frederick. Who is Hazel Frederick you ask. She is the woman with the disapproving look watching Mary toss her hat in the air.

...just don't ask where she was when JFK was shot.

When I visited Minneapolis a few years ago, I, of course, had to do my homage to Ms. Moore:

I'm still haunted by that pic where MTM and Dick Van Dyke celebrated the "anniversary" of their fictional characters by posing in bondage gear.

I couldn't find that picture. (Are you sure it was Dick & Mary and not the Avengers?)

I did find the picture of Mary bodysurfing out of the closet on walnuts.



You can see the full episode It May Look Like a Walnut on IMDB

In 1969, MTM co-starred with Elvis Presley in his final dramatic role in Change of Habit. She played a nun who falls in love with Elvis' character.

That was a good movie. But I preferred Ms. Tyler Moore in "What's So Bad About Feeling Good?" with George Peppard.

Quis, all I can tell you is that the pic was in my then-HM's issue of Spy magazine, sometime in the mid-to-late Nineties. <span style="font-size: 12px;">I think</span>.

Anyway, the walnut picture is much better.

Ohmygod! Mary Tyler Like Moore is so old! You old folks need to latch on to some newer more happening actors, like Kristen Falkner or Jessie Jayne Jett.

I doubt either of them would body surf on walnuts from a closet.

I had walnuts on my salad at lunch. It was all very vegan.

Yesterday while I was at lunch, the Ontario Superior Court ruled that provisions of the Criminal Code of Canada banning, "Keeping of a Common Bawdy House", "Living off the Avails of" and "Communicating for the purpose of Prostitution" are unconsitutional as they force sex-workers to work in a dangerous underground economy. This deprives them of their "Right to Security of the Person" under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
