Well, we know he does read the forum pretty regularly.

For proof, point out an error in a page and see how quickly you see a post from him saying "Refresh the page".

Merry Christmas everyone!!!
You're gonna name him after a watch?

*edit* 'Scuse me, watchband.
Years ago there used to be a show that my father always talked about... It was the late night movie hosted by Bob Shreve... he had a stuffed spider named Spidel. Dad used to always call house spiders Spidel... and would always joke about Chickie 'little longer (a rubber chicken I'm guessing) when mom would make dinner.
Too bad there are no local channels with late-night movie hosts any more - be they for sci-fi or horror or westerns or whatever - heck, there's not even MST3K any more. Didn't Elvira get her start as a late-night scream-queen hostess?

Yup.
Wikipedia wrote:Cassandra Peterson (born September 17, 1951) is an American actress best known for her portrayal of the horror hostess character Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. She gained fame on Los Angeles television station KHJ wearing a black, gothic, revealing, cleavage-enhancing gown as host of Movie Macabre, a weekly horror movie presentation. Her wickedly vampish appearance is offset by her comical character, quirky and quick-witted personality, and Valley girl-type speech.

Elvira also used makeup to accentuate her cleavage in character.

But, have you seen what Ms Peterson wields normally? Still impressive. Then you add her smarts to that, and WOW! Whatta woman!

Yep. In fact, i saw a feature about her that included her getting into costume/character, and showed the way she used makeup to create shadows to emphasise.

They ended the segment with a shot of her (out of character), wearing a blouse that could minimally be described as "revealing" and apparently unfettered, walking along the sidewalk toward the camera. as this highly appropriate part of a wonderfully apropos country song played over...
