  I think it sounds like a great idea.

I love both ideas, too. Whereas I don't have time to work on a 
concordance, I would gladly help with an alphabet!  Maybe we should 
asign everyone who wants to help a letter or two, or something...

I'd like to thank everyone who filled me in on what obMisty was.  I'll 
make sure to include it if I need it, from now on!

That's why we were saying the producers would have to follow the books 
exactly, or it wouldn't be worth it.

I read that interview, too, and the ending did leave enough open for her 
to continue it she eventually wanted to... we can hope, can't we? :)
I would suggest a little fan pressure if I didn't think it would push 
her over the edge :|

I'm really sorry if this is inappropriate, I'm new to this forum, but does
anyone have any Pics, of any kind of Mercedes characters?  If so, I would like
them Please?

I poked around the site but couldn't find anything about it... Directions,
perhaps? :)

(I did however, find the rather amusing Shina'in Barbie pictures).

Brika. :)

P.S. Hi... I guess this is a delurk. :)

But what does "help [with] a letter" mean?  Just coming up with a word for
the letter wouldn't take much effort, at least for most of the letters.

Perhaps we should come up with a silly rhyme?  I'm thinking of something
I've seen pieces of a few times....  There's an old computer game called
Rogue, which has 26 monsters, one for each letter of the alphabet.
Some people (anonymous, as far as I know) came up with a "Rogue's ABC",
with a 4-line poem for each of the monsters/letters.  Every once in a
while I see one of them floating around on the Internet.  I'd post one
here, if I had one at hand. :-/

Well, here goes my $0.02.  I read
because it's the only way for me to
unwind, to relax and enjoy my
increadibly strange life.  Let's face
it, everybody needs SOME kind of escape
from day to day life, or else we'd all
just top ourselves out of sheer stress!!

<snip> I have started so many books and
never finished one. Most of them
dye as soon a new topic tickles my
interest. <snip>

Oh I can sooo agree with you!!!!!  (Did
I just say that?  I sounded so blond!
Ahhhh!!!!!)   : )   I've started story
upon story, but never finished them,
although, I have been working heavily on

one of them.....  but I seem to be
writing nothing but crap lately.  : (
Oh well.  I'll keep trying.  At least I
have better luck with my poetry, which
DOES get heard.  Yea!!  : ) Oh lords of
light and love am I wierd tonight!!!!!
Sorry everyone.
Anyway, I think it would be really scary

to have an american company do even a
mini series on Misty.  I mean look at
the Power Rangers.....those people
truely frighten me.  And Barney?  One of

the most hilarious things I've ever seen

was Barney getting attacked by the
Cardinal's mascot. (I think it was the
Cardinal's mascot, I could be wrong)

Oh yeah, one more thing.  I'm starting a

collection of really odd quotes or
sayings, fluff and random bits of
useless knowledge.  If all you listsibs
could, either tag them onto your post,
or send it to me directly, I'd really
appreciate it.
Alright alright.... I'm going....
