Re: [scifinoir2] Forwarded Jokes
Keith, as for which came first, the ep or the joke..i am going 2 go with the ep..as 4 watching the zone as a kid...it scared the bejezus out of me sometimes! and you are totally correct about the end of times ep's in the series. one f my most memorable ep's was the one about the kid sending people 2 the 'corn field' when he got upset with them. i have tried around the holidays 2 catch that ep again so that i can record it, but i seem 2 never 2 able 2 catch it.

Maybe this will explain. When you are very busy, but still want to keep in touch, guess what you do? You forward jokes. When you have nothing to say, but still want to keep contact, you forward jokes. When you have something to say, but don't know what, and don't know how, you forward jokes. Also to let you know that you are still remembered, you are still important, you are still loved, you are still cared for, guess what you get? A forwarded joke. So, next time if you get a joke, don't think that you've been sent just another forwarded joke, but that you've been thought of today and your friend on the other end of your computer wanted to send you a smile.

Re: [scifinoir2] Forwarded Jokes
You're talking about It's a Good Life, starring Billy Will Robinson Mumy from Lost in Space, as the evil and omnipotent Anthony. That's a great one, one of the top ten easily. It's always shown during a Zone marathon, so shouldn't be hard to catch next time. By the way, the most recent incarnation of Twilight Zone--the one hosted by Forest Whitaker--revisited that evil Anthony, now an adult with a daughter (gotten by a woman too terrified to say no to his advances--how revolting). It's a very good ep, one of the best, and totally justifies going back to that world. - Original Message - From: Augustus Augustus jazzynupe_...@yahoo.com To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, January 18, 2010 7:16:17 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] Forwarded Jokes Keith, as for which came first, the ep or the joke..i am going 2 go with the ep..as 4 watching the zone as a kid...it scared the bejezus out of me sometimes! and you are totally correct about the end of times ep's in the series. one f my most memorable ep's was the one about the kid sending people 2 the 'corn field' when he got upset with them. i have tried around the holidays 2 catch that ep again so that i can record it, but i seem 2 never 2 able 2 catch it.
