Too bad it isn't an alternative energy source, as there seems to be an inexhaustible supply of stupidity.

:(

Remembering Ron and thinking of him at Table 29. Cheers to a great magician and warmest of spirits.

I've sold several CA Ultimate Sets at Hollywood Toys & Costumes. We have 1 set open for the display (w/ the Thumb Tip missing) -- I sell these sets for ages 10 plus -- any younger then they'll have a hard time learning -- especially the Professors Nightmare, etc... These sets are way nicer -- sh...

Conan's comment last night was like "the part that creeps me out is when the TSA guy is done patting me down, he say's --- 'OK --- now do me.'".

Here is the applicable section of the Standing Rules of the AMA that apply to all of our members: 5. Ethics and Grievance Committee Guidelines. The Ethics and Grievance Committee has primary responsibility under Article VII of the By-Laws for determining violations of the Standing Rules. It is the p...

Damien - Send an email to Ira_msn@msn.com

We need the help man!

Terrence

Thank you! Right now the IC is not completely independent in its ability to do or not do certain things, and we have a problem with our terms of use -- they are clearly too onerous, and should only reflect on a Member's status on the Forum -- not his or her's membership status. Here is a quote BTW f...

Terrence

Thank you David. I missed your post, and it makes lots of sense.

Terrence

Will, gee, I didn't know anything at all about any letters or anything else about this case -- some of us just saw a possibly actionable accusation of libel. That was the first thing seen on the Forum. I didn't bother to analyze it and make a judgment of whether or not it's true -- that's not the jo...

Terrence

Bill -- I assume nothing about you or anyone else.

I think you're overreacting.

And BTW thank you for assuming that I would make a good politician. I wish I had thought of that myself. :)

Terrence

I abhor censorship on our Forums, and I'd like to thank RK for continuing to sponsor our opinions out here. In fairness to Rich, let me say this. He was not the only member to request that Bill's post be taken down. As an IC member (who has himself been censored in the past), I had a problem with Bi...

Terrence

The Ethics and Grievance committee has been around a long time, and is rarely invoked -- I have a very high regard for all of our members, and this committee exists solely to ensure that we have a body separate from the Board of Directors that will give any member brought up on a grievance a fair he...

Terrence

Perhaps we could call the new venue "House of Booze" !! :cry:

Aside from that dubious triple-entendre, I'm inclined to listen to Milt on this one.

Terrence

Mark - Chris showed that at a Castle workshop. It's a riot, and I'd love to have that ad!

Terrence

"The Great Race" has the Dashing Tony Curtis, animated gleams and all, appearing with my all-time favorite beauty on the screen Natalie Wood, and now they're both gone. #2 funniest moment in that film IMO is Ross Martin's over-accurate dive into his awaiting escape boat, but #1 is still To...

Terrence

Got my copy from The Magic Apple.

What a magic book!

Thank you Genii for the review of "Vortex", and the Forum for getting me to the Magic Shop to acquire this wonderful book, which I'm enthusiastically reading today.

Terrence

Alan has that right. OTH, until or if we fix this situation, I'm less inclined to accept Robert Lamoureux's answer to Alan as the truth. (Including his MC Newsletter Editorial(s)) As an analogy on the Art of Delegation, one should not supply whiskey and car keys to teenagers, while expecting to suff...

Terrence

TMI RK!, LOL! :D

Come to think of it, I believe one of the censors is some Irish/Spanish gentleman named Regular O'Premium.

:cry:

Terrence

or removed Brian Glicker's post from the Forum when he complained about that.

Terrence

Hmmm...There seems to be some discussion going on about forum censorship at the MC Forum today. Wow.

Terrence

She might be under an NDA -- I spoke with another one who was compensated long after "leaving", and did not give specific details, other than that NDA's are one of the PTB's favorite cudgels for silence. My guess is that Heidi received a non-gentle reminder of that over the phone. It's eas...

Terrence

Oh boy Brian! Well, that was a while ago, and I can't recall anybody recently trying to review our books, although there was a financial audit around the time that the MFB experience came in. It was not, however, a complete audit in depth, of all transactions, paperwork, etc. I assume that Board Mem...

Terrence

Agree especially with D Alexander and Mr. Goat.

Speaking anthropologically (whew), dating is a big part of the human mating ritual, and many of us know the joke "What's the difference between a Magician and a pizza"...("A pizza can feed a family of four")

Terrence

It's Alan's thread, so I don't mind his metaphors. Adds emotional meaning to his posts.

And Godwins' Law is used primarily as an escape pod for those who can't win a debate -- don't see anyone here doing that. IMO.
:cool:

Terrence

Hey -- maybe Ursula would do -- oh wait, she already does that.

Dave V wrote:Now that those four rowdies are gone, is there any thought to returning the library upstairs?

I don't think we could store half the books we have now if we did that.

Anyway...

Terrence

How refreshing to see these opinions. I concur with last few previous posts. Alan's last post is interesting to me for a particular reason:Yesterday on the Forum, the anonymous "AMA" user was lurking. This sort of thing really creates a climate of fear and crushes free expression on a foru...

Terrence

Mondays/Tuesdays, and sometimes Thursdays are often light. Many, but not all of these Cabarets run on those days now. Also, the Board of Trustees schedule member perks for those days. That's what I've seen scheduled, but I haven't been on those nights regularly, so I can't attest if they're helping....

Terrence

It's probably Keyser Soze...

Terrence

Bruce --- you have the correct idea. Believe me, my eyes are starting to fall out rolling watching this happen.

I have left you my phone number in a pm on one of the two Forums, now we're talking. Get back to me guy!

Terrence

Your absolutely right Richard. Of course, if one doesn't correctly identify the party or parties that are actually doing the censoring, and blithely assume that it is a group of "Moderators" on the Castle Forum who are doing the censoring, then you end up like Bruce, committing the "p...

Terrence

Milt just posted this reply to the Anonymous post. To all: I don't consider the statement as anonymous. I agree with it. My comments were not meant to criticize anyone. If I offended I apologize. We, the Larsens, appreciate the letters, calls, etc. assuring us that we have the respect all those con...

Terrence

Yes. It was created to keep the poster's identity secret, and to allow him to post anything he wishes to, and to lurk anonymously. This type of account BTW is expressly forbidden by the Terms-Of-Use -- in force as I type this. But that could be wiggled around. The fact that this poster is hiding beh...

Terrence

Don't think that'll be answering back. Flattering, I imagine...

Thanks David for the heads up!

Terrence

OK. The Costume & Toys is almost next door - it's two doors east of the old shop. And yes Pete -- the battle never really should have even started in the first place! Go Lisa!! BTW they are running 7 days a week, and are still a little in the getting started process. But they are selling, and I'...

Terrence

Kind of an update. A new place to shop for magic in Hollywood, right next door from Hollywood Magic's location, at the Hollywood Toys and Costume store. The owners have set up a magic counter, and as of this writing it is being staffed by our own Lisa Cousins and Newell Unfried. I'll be checking thi...

Terrence

Although there are VHS tapes of Jim Lewis, I'd love to see them go to DVD.

And another vote for Chuck Smith!

Terrence

I got A Day with Salvano DVD, and money for Cardially Yours.

Santa very nice to me!

Terrence

There was a beachball opposite my left turn lane on Friday, and of course I thought of "Dark Star".

He will be missed. :(

Terrence

It's also easier in UK to sue for slander, with the burden of proof placed on the defendant. I second a hooray for our system!
