I got no problem with the smilies, Jill. No problem at all. Now, some of the others at NS...they're a li'l touchy. Anyways.... Regarding NS: I'm not a part of the team anymore. I've tendered my resignation, and I'm jsut waiting for the paperwork to go through. (I think that the weekend after next will finish it out) But, I have looked into other franchises, and it's just a matter of seeing how things go. If nothing happens...well, there's always freelancing, or I could start the old Tri-State back up again. ( cliff-roswell.tripod.com/) Or perhaps I could start another franchise, and invite the people who were fired from NS in the past. I'd call it, "Ghostbusters: Reject Squad!" Or, "The Rejected GBs!" Something like that.... --Cliff

For the name of your "Reject squad" it could be like "Ecto Misfits" (that's a catchy title... .

[singing] Why am I such a mis-fit? I am not just a nit-wit You can't fire me, I QUIT!!! Why don't I fit in? [/singing]
For some reason, Hermie from that "Rudolph" special really springs to mind over this.
But, nah, it's okay. I was actually expecting the firing, so I quit beforehand.

I wanna be the president of the Galaxy!! Woo-woo-woo!! --Cliff YOU'LL BE A DENTIST ORIN When I was younger, just a bad little kid My mama noticed funny things I did Like shooting puppies with a B.B. gun I'd poison guppies and when I was done I'd find a pussycat and bash in its head That's when my mama said CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON What did she say? ORIN She said, "My boy, I think someday You'll find a way to make your natural tendencies pay You'll be a dentist You have a talent for causing things pain Son, be a dentist People will pay you to be inhumane Your temperament's wrong for the priesthood And teaching would suit you still less Son, be a dentist You'll be a success CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON Here he is, folks the leader of the plaque! Watch him suck up that gas! Oh, my god! He's a dentist and he'll never ever be any good Who wants their teeth done by the Marquis de Sade? Oh that hurts! Wait, I'm not numb! ORIN Oh, shut up. Open wide. here I come! I am your dentist CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON Goodness gracious! ORIN And I enjoy the career that I picked I am your dentist And I get off on the pain I inflict CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON He really loves it. ORIN I get a thrill when I fill a bicusbed. It sweals when I drill, and is maladjusted. CRYSTAL, RONETTE, CHIFFON Dentist! ORIN And though it may cause my patients distress Somewhere in heaven above me, I know...I know, that my mama's proud of me... Oh, mama... 'Cause I'm a dentist- and I say, "Sit!" Say, "Ah!" Say, "Ah!" Say, "Ah!" Now SPIT!!
hee hee hee.... ;D how's that? ;D

Why, thanks, Jill. Yes, "Little Shop" is out on DVD. It has been for quite a while, like five years or so. But, if you really want more people-eating plant action bang for your buck, seek out the Out-Of Print (OOP) version, one of the first few thousand that were released. Those rare gems contain the long-sought after alternate ending, where Seymour gets eaten by Twoey, and hundreds of Audrey IIs take over the world while the finale ("Don't Feed the Plants!") plays. It, like the alternate ending of "Clerks" where Dante gets shot, was lopped off due to poor test audience reaction. The people came to love Seymour and Audrey, and they didn't want to see them die. Only problem is, it's a typical "Hollywood" ending, the happy ending where everything turns out all right, and it totally detracts from the story, which is the "ultimate Faustian tale." It's a story of a man who basically makes a deal with the devil, and he has to pay for it. But... With a heavy heart, everyone headed back to Leavesden studios to reshoot the ending, which features Audrey looking in on the final battle ("Bad [Mean, Green Mother]") through a non-existant window, and she and Seymour get married and live "Somewhere That's Green." (where another li'l Audrey II lies in wait for the final shot!) Apparently, the original ending is available for download over the internet (found the link on muppetcentral.com). It clocks in at about 22 minutes long, so it's a hefty file. (not sure; haven't watched it yet) However, if you get the chance, I reccommend seeing the Broadway version of the stage play. Right now, it's touring the country, and you get the chance to see Audrey II eat people in front of a live audience. It may be a tad expensive, but it's frelling worth it. (Some foolish moron canceled at the last minute, and my family and I got front row seats!! Talk about up-close and personal!!) I'll try to find the link from Muppetcentral. ::EDIT:: Here it be!! www.alanmenken.info/downloads/downloads1.htmlHave a fun! --Cliff

Sweet! ;D NOTE TO SELF: MUST BUY!!! ;D;D;D But, if you really want more people-eating plant action bang for your buck, seek out the Out-Of Print (OOP) version, one of the first few thousand that were released. Those rare gems contain the long-sought after alternate ending, where Seymour gets eaten by Twoey, and hundreds of Audrey IIs take over the world while the finale ("Don't Feed the Plants!") plays. You know...I heard about that alternate ending...Never knew it was actually filmed...I thought it was one idea that the filmakers had that didn't go through at the last moment... ...Is it on the DVD as an added bonus feature...Or is it what you said...? (buying the OOP version and also as an internet download) However, if you get the chance, I reccommend seeing the Broadway version of the stage play. Right now, it's touring the country, and you get the chance to see Audrey II eat people in front of a live audience. It may be a tad expensive, but it's frelling worth it. (Some foolish moron canceled at the last minute, and my family and I got front row seats!! Talk about up-close and personal!!) Damn! You're lucky! I wanted to go when I found out the Broadway version was playing...But it's not playing where I live... I saw Singing in the Rain a few weeks back...It was pretty good...Not as great as the Gene Kelly/Donald O' Conner/Debbie Reynolds version...But it was fun to watch it being performed live nonetheless... Still...I really wish Little Shop of Horrors played here...

Well Cliff, you're always welcome with the Hunters. We need some experts with our Undead Irradication squad. Thanks, Travis. Zombies are a superstitious and cowardly lot, easily distracted by loud noises and shiny objects, and are generally as dumb as a bag of hammers. I'm not sure what kind of walking dead Vincent, Gabe, and Winston ran into in Raccoon City, but I have a feeling that they were'nt your run-of-the-mill zombie. But, I have a few other prospects to look into first. If they don't pan out, I'll give you a call. ....uh, IM. Or PM. Whichever you prefer. Jill: The alternate ending is on the bonus features of the out of print DVDs, but it is mentioned on the standard release. Your best bet to find it would probably be....uhh, eBay. Or, failing that, get really lucky at Media Play or someplace like that. The stage version is phenomenal. There's a lot more to the story (different scenarios play out, things happen in different places), like more songs (the aforementioned "Don't Eat the Plants," "Closed for Renovations," Orin's swan song --literally-- "It's the Gas," and "Mushnik and Son"), more comedic value (one of the longest pauses you could ever think of between Twoey saying "Feed me!" for the first time and Seymour's next line; the expressions on the actors' faces are priceless!), and...well, let's face it, more Audrey II. I saw an ad on my local ABC affiliate for the play, and it showed Audrey II looming out over the audience, scaring the crap outta people. According to the puppeteers, it weighs about two tons, is about 20 feet high, and can reach out as far as two and a half dozen rows and as high up as the third balcony. Unfortunately, the giant Twoey didn't come on the road with the rest of the cast and crew. She's too big --no offense -- to fit in most theaters across the country. Bummer that you weren't able to see it. Hopefully one day, right? --Cliff
