Very funny, but not exactly accurate. I saw you at Wizard World Philly
for the first time and I thought you were a fantastic speaker.

autograph)

Thanks, yeah, I just think that one's too funny and absolutely right.

A little later.  They're stil working at doing large numbers of these
things, and I don't want to push the process until I know it'll go
right.

As for the suggestions...I'll have to go back over my notes, but it was
the one who first suggested using the core B5 questions: who are you,
what do you want, where are you going, why are you here?  Seemed
perfect for a shirt, particularly if you're meeting someone for the
first time.

So...when Lorien was asking all those questions of Sheridan was Lorien just
trying to pick John up?  And did John reply that he'd rather die first?

Enquiring minds want to know...

Just imagine the effects of gravity on a million-year-old body...

I imagine it would be rather like picking up a copy of Myra
Breckenridge and fast forwarding to Mae West's entrance..."Never mind
what YOU want, big fella, come on over here and let me tell you what I
want...."

I have one question Joe.  Have you ever written for/or any comedy
shows?  I love your sense of humor.

Probably the closest I've come is the animated series The Real
Ghostbusters, which had a rather substantial amount of humor to it.
But for sitcoms...no, never done it, never really had that much
interest in it because I don't find a lot of them very funny.  I think
that without laugh tracks, a lot of those folks would be out of
business.  They're too self-aware, too self-consciously funny...granted
there are exceptions, but I've almost given up watching sitcoms for the
most part.  (On the other hand, if I come across a rerun of the Dick
Van Dyke show, or Fawlty Towers, I'm there...it's just never-endingly
funny.)

On the flip side, however, on my own shortcomings...I cannot write or
tell a joke to save my life.  I kind of look at things funny, and I can
express something in a way that sometimes gets a laugh...but to write
an actual joke is just about impossible for me.
