I admit I am a little like John Lennon in some ways.

I do.. I try to "Imagine a world" with no Politicians, comedians, AND no lawyers....

Now you may say I am a dreamer... but I am not the only one... I hope some day you can join us.....

Why shocked? IMO it is among the best British sitcoms ever.

Here is a Blackadder line of strange topicality on both sides of the Atlantic (we currently have primaries for the presidential elections next year here in France):

"I smeared my opponents, bribed the press to be on my side, and threatened to torture the electorate if we lost. I fail to see what more a decent politician could have done."

Wow, someone hasn't heard of Blackadder! Two of my SO's favorite shows are Blackadder and Absolutely Fabulous. The only Blackadder she doesn't like is Blackadder IV.

At Lecivius' behest I Googled and then Bing'd Blackadder and found out that there is a graphic artist who goes by that name and his cartoons are definitely not family fare ... 'nuf said.

Do you mean when I was new at this and did a fair imitation of a troll? I was being held at gunpoint and forced to do it.

I'm confused. Why would a Gorn wear a Gorn costume?

Reminds me of Rex Kramer - removing his sunglasses to reveal his...sunglasses
