You want to something to laugh about?

Ever since I have seen Demolition Man where there is a possible future with Arnold Swarzenegger as president of United States of Americaà

Kosh ôThe avalanche has started, it is too late for pebbles to voteö

Things have been set in motion; barriers to be broken, bridges to be build and the unthinkable will happen to annoy poor Sylvester Stallone in no end. Arnold will be a president. Not the president of United states of America; that is not possible because he is as we all know he not born there.

He will be the president of United Nations of Earthà

Ah, that is to silly to even to dream and fantasise about; now where have I put my medication?

[Lope de Aguirre]

now where have I put my medication?

I'm wondering myself. It seems your medication is very important for you!

I'm wondering myself. It seems your medication is very important for you!

Ah, but you see my medication; my true medication; wasn't never ever drugs; risperdal and seroxact neither; but Babylon5 and everything else related to it; the Babylon5 newsgroup and now this wonderfull forum; with their wonderfull people.

Every time I am about to loose hope; I put the episode "believers" in my DVD
player; you know that episode with the Gloppit Egg; fucking damn shame
that these things arn't merchandised.

What I also love and adore is the J/S bear; he is so cute; and now he
is doomed to be space marooned as a unidentified flying bear forever and ever. To go where no bear has gone before...

With the joke script, I seem to recall reading both that JMS had Andreas and Peter hook, line and sinker with it, and that Peter knew it was a joke. For the people who have read more, or have seen the JMS, Andreas, and/or Peter speak at conventions, what's the feeling of how successful the joke was?

This is a really late reply to this, WorkerCaste, but I only just saw it since the thread has floated to the top again.

I've seen all three speak, and Peter is the only one who didn't tell the joke script story (I think he didn't have time, and thought that most fans knew it already). As JMS tells it, he had everyone fooled, including Andreas and Peter. As Andreas tells it, JMS had everyone fooled, except Andreas and Peter - who were content to play along, anyway. Andreas is quite adamant that he absolutely knew, immediately upon reading the script which had been delivered to his house, that this was the revenge for the setup they pulled on JMS at that months-earlier con.

For the record, both Andreas and Peter would have liked to have filmed it, too. They have acted it out in front of at least one con audience, but fortunately or unfortunately, I wasn't there to see it.

Both Andreas and Peter are very smart, very funny men, who are clearly not strangers to practical jokes...which is why I think he and Peter did tweak to it right away.

For anyone who hasn't seen it, the joke script is quite hilarious, and dovetails perfectly into the 'legitimate' script in which it was inserted. And you can read it in the bonus volume, Vol. 15, of the script book collection when it comes out! Remember though, you only get Vol. 15 if you've bought the fourteen that precede it.

I wonder if the Pak' MarRa porn in Crusade was JMS having a joke at TNT's requests for more sex in the show?

Too bad they didn't show a few scenes of "Snowwhite and the seven Narns."
Maybe because the "two minute" problem -as Londo described it- of the narns.
