Don't forget the slow motion... it is only visually effective if it is in slow motion. And while you're picturing, picture me ten pounds lighter...

Please and thank you... because I'm into manners today...

[Fleur de Lisa]

Please don't worry about the excess lbs., then again, if I am going to be lifting you...
If I am going to picture you thinner, then you must picture me younger.

Deal?
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Yep, we're solid.

Got the okay--move it on over.

This post is dedicated to the lovely Phoenix. who somehow thinks 666 is an appropriate number for me!

Thanks for the dedication, FdL.

For the record, the 666 thing is a carry-over from the forum where I am a mod, and we try to make a big deal out of post # 666. When I hit the 666 mark here, one of our lovely mods - who shall remain nameless - freaked out. Of course, I had been saying some rather evil things earlier...

Hmmm... now we have to worry about the Admin turning us into newts when we misbehave... but that's better than being banned from the site, so I'm good with it... Newts have little fingers and can type, right?

And Phee, did you notice how polite Fleur has become? Most impressive...IMO.

Don't know about newts - but you did get temporarily turned into Snarky Courtesan Wannabe's, so I hope you learned your lesson about trifling with the Admin here. (And not sure if newts can type.)

Yes, Fleur has nice manners, mostly...

Point taken...

Tho I fear Fleur and I both are slow in lesson-learning... witness our continued uselessness in picture-posting...

[Fleur de Lisa]

I am very polite. Frustration just seems to be winning out over manners, lately.

*Sits down with Fleur*

*Holds Fleur's hand*

*Totally understands.*

Sigh.

Grace, I sympathize with you, boy do I have patience issues, too...
Where’s Alex? He’s not on my TV, that’s for sure. No Colgate commercial…no guest appearance on a sitcom…no Star Tracks photo in People (oh that’s right, he’s not a star yet). Hmmm, *Raven ponders*…not a star yet…So why the cloak & dagger? Why the disappearing act?
I believe in him. I believe in his talent. But darn, I'm starting to wonder...what the heck is going on, this is crazy, put the guy on TV, WAKE UP PEOPLE,…how can this be good for his career?
And an Alex shout out every now and then would be nice. Hi folks, I’m here, I'm worth the wait, please be patient and, oh, by the way, here are a few pics of me and my motorcycle...and me smoking a cigar...and me waving to you.
I miss Mick. I never thought I'd have to say...I miss Alex, too.

sigh...

I don't know if Alex has first dibs on these other pilots or not. I hope he does move quickly on one of them soon. For now, it looks like NCIS-2 is off the table for him.

Have these articles been posted here before? CBS has ordered more pilots but no mention of Alex but according to his talent hold deal, ... "As part of the deal, whatever project CBS develops will be produced via CBS Paramount and ABC Studios in conjunction with producer Mark Gordon."

CBS is playing by the "House Rules."

The broadcast network on Monday handed out a pilot order to the political drama from ABC Studios and "Grey's Anatomy" exec producer Mark Gordon.

The project, penned by feature writer Michael Seitzman ("North Country"), follows the freshman class of congressmen/women as they begin their careers in Washington.

Seitzman, Gordon and Deborah Spera are exec producing.

"House Rules" marks the second drama pilot for Seitzman and Gordon in the past few days.

There's no mention of any actors though, so it's still a possibility from that perspective.

Overdamoon~~Hmmmm. At least some of the dots can be connected, which is more than we have been getting. If you don't mind, I am going to copy your post over to the "Where's Alex" thread.

Okay, Fleur, go ahead. If Alex doesn't show up soon, we'll have to create a thread for Who's Alex, too.
