The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Hmm, how do you haze a Frenchman anyway?


Time-honoured methods include: feeding him English food to see how long it will take before he breaks and starts crying in despair; shouting at him in German to see how long it takes before he surrenders; and asking him to work to see how long it takes before he goes on strike. :mrgreen:

I'm sure you fine gentlemen can come up with plenty of ideas too, but personally I'm partial to the most common one (hint hint, nudge nudge) which consists of piling gorgeous women upon him until he - or they - cry for mercy. :twisted:

As a Canadian Frenchman, I think I'm allowed to add to this list...

- Scrape the mayonnaise off his fries.
- Ask him to "speak white".

I'll let you know if any more come to mind...

LOL. I certainly wouldn't go anywhere near mayonnaise.

Where has this thread gone? :roll: :lol:

Honestly I couldn't care less who is there. As long as you guys (and gals) are there- that's all that matters!

OOU-RAH!!


Oh yeah- and the hot babes wearing next to nothing too. :wink:

Mayonnaise is the debil. The debil, I tell you!

But I second the Sarge's sentiments. 8)

Ask him to say "Chowder."

Well said Chris... in truth, I agree with you totally. I didn't sit at one single panel or go to one signing last year... and I had a hell of a time.

Eet eez a bowl of showdair!

Tshaodeur!

Well, I'm not going to D-Con for the panels or the guests, but they're obviously a bonus, especially when it's pretty ladies! :mrgreen:

Not that actually want to get any autographs, actually. Couldn't really care less if they come from queuing up. Getting one from a chance encounter, or on a specific object, when it might mean something a bit less... dishumanized, yes.

I did get Cynthia Scott's autograph (two actually)-

She was easily the most open- easy going guest I have ever had the pleasure to meet!

And back in '05 I got Robin (Lt Saavik) Curtis' autograph- and had a picture taken of her with me in my WOK uniform. She was nice- albeit brief. Her assistant (agent?) was not.

I also have Virgil's (former WWF wrestler) from '03. He was basically like a shark- reeled me in and I felt like I had no choice but to buy a photo. Kinda turned me off of the Walk of Fame.

Oh yeah- I also snubbed Margot Kidder back in '04. :lol:
(Actually it was pretty rude of me- I was in my WOK uniform and she said something like "Boy don't you look good!"... I said "Thank you." and kept walking. I guess I was feeling shy and didn't want to feel obligated to buy a photo).

Okay apparently I am at a loss here, but what the hell does "speak white" mean?

Oh, I can 'speak white' if I'm asked - I'm pretty fluent in English, after all.

But if I am asked, the swearing and the insulting will be all in French. :mrgreen:

As a Canadian who for over 23 years, served beside with soldiers whose roots are from Quebec, I can honestly say I have never heard of this term until now.

Back on topic, yeah Cynthia Scott was super nice to chat with. I like her stories about the filming of the movie. Was also cool when she showed up at the fan table Sunday afternoon. I had my laptop cranked playing "Haliens" so all the dialog was going on. Man were we on cloud 9!

Mike

PS.
Anyone want a copy of "Haliens", pm me & I'll send a "yousendit" link.
