What will yous be doing???
We ALL know that a certain someone will be working his lungs off
in a play......
I'll be seeing SUNSHINE STATE this weekend.
Like I said,its playing at my local art theater,the Kendall Square
theater in Cambridge MA.
I'll try to give a mini review next week or so.
[*] Hey there Massachusetts! HAPPY 4th EVERYONE! - Marlene,

Dale,
I just realized you are in Massachusetts.
I was born
in Worcester. Some of my ancesters(Nipmuck)
were
there before the white folks arrived
at Plymouth.
Glad to hear you can see "Sunshine
State" at the
Kendall SQ.in Cambridge.
A mini review would be great!
[*] WILL DO MARLENE.... - dale, Jul/3/2002 18:17:25
...and BTW where are you living now???
[*] I LIVE IN A Great Place! - Marlene, Jul/4/2002 01:06:28
I've been living and working in the lands of Crazy
Horse for over twenty years now. I live about
20 miles from Hot Springs,SD. While making "Crazy
Horse" Michael stayed at The Comfort Inn in Hot
Springs. They have a green&white sign on all three
entrances into the town. It reads,"Crazy Horse was
filmed in this area". As Michael said once about
many places around here that they are sacred sites.
It seemed so lonesome after they were finished
filming and left. Maybe Michael,Rodney,Wes Studi
and all the other fine actors will return someday
to work on another picture.
[*] YOU LUCKY LADY YOU!!!!! - dale, Jul/6/2002 22:31:53
Then you were there when Dances W/Wolves was filmed too!!!!
I bet THAT was exciting!!!
[*] Re: YOU LUCKY LADY YOU!!!!! - Marlene, Jul/8/2002

Yes, The set of Fort Hays is still there as a torist
attraction. It's a little south of Rapid City.
Kevin&Graham did that sad bit when they found all
the dead animals up there also.
I was working at Blue Bell Lodge at that time. I
remember they had a big buffalo feast for the
buffalo runners that were in the big buffalo hunt
scene. It was all very exciting.
And best of all, I got to see Rodney,Jimmey
Herman and the author himself,Michael Blake at the
Rapid City Primeer.
Sure wish Costner would come back and film the
"Holy Road" sequel here also.

...and did you add it to the calendar?
huh, huh? Just teasing you *g* ...you don't know how many things get missed
from the calendar. I mean, "The Merry Widow" was on the other night ....but
it was just about to start so I thought, well, no-one will be able to catch
it anyway. I suppose we should add every little thing even if we miss them
'cos it does at least let us see how often 'His Gorgeousness' appears on
the goggle box. I shall trudge off to do that now!

Unfortunatly I don't peruse my TV Guide at the begining

of times I don't see that something that MG is in till just
before it's airing. So, I will show up tomarrow and take my
punishment
for my 20 lashes with a wet noodle. Or is it a noodling
with a wet kitka?
"The Merry Widow!" He's in the Merry Widow?
So, Sat chat is tomarrow. Sure hope some fans join us!

Yup...he's in the National Ballet production of "The Merry Widow" ....it's

review -One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
Author: Marnie, Jul/11/2002 00:44:46
Hi everyone, One of the list members managed to catch OFOTCN on the
opening night and she sent in this review ....thought everyone would like
the chance to see it so I'm reposting it here with her permission!:
"REVIEW/Opening Night at The Porthouse
Front row center at the Porthouse theatre on July 5th, opening
night and there was a sense of excitement in the air. The
Porthouse is an open air, covered amphitheatre with a sense of
casual intimacy. The set was very well designed and we
anxiously awaited for the play to begin. Lew and I have over
the years seen an abundance of Broadway, Off Broadway, Regional,
and summer stock productions. This production was, without
question, one of the most superior presentations we have ever
experienced. Every actor on the stage from major to minor roles
strove for perfection and achieved it. They played, not to the
audience, but to each other and the audience therefore was able
to be simply the fly on the wall watching the interplay of
relationships taking place in this mental hospital. Marty Lodge
who portrayed the role of Mc Murphy, (Jack Nicholson in the film
version)was far superior to Nicholson's performance. Even those
actors who had no lines gave absolutely pristine performances
and wee able to remain fully within character despite repetitive
actions.
For those of you who are familiar only with the film, the role
of Chief Bromden is far more extensive and complex in the play
and he is the first character to make an appearance. When
Michael first came out on the stage, I was, of course aware it
was him, but once he began his dialogue, Michael totally
disappeared, and from then on, all we saw was Chief Bromden. I
was very proud and excited to see this aspect of his talent
which I had not had an opportunity to observe before. He is
truly a superb stage actor.
Everyone associated with this production can only be described
as "amazing"

Thanks to Sandy for sharing this with us,
Marnie:)

Homepage: Michael Greyeyes' Official Fansite
We can definitely second Sandy's review.
Michael's
performance was nothing short of
spellbinding. As
Sandy mentioned, his transformation
into the character
of the troubled Chief Bromden was
utterly remarkable.
This may be one the very finest performances
of Michael's
career to date. This role means a
great deal to him.
We will be working to create a new
"On Stage" page for
the Official Site and hope to have
it up and running -
albeit still in a somewhat draft
form - by early next
week. We are waiting for some photos
to come in, but these
may take a while yet.
Thanks, Marnie, for allowing us to
post this on your site.

[*] THANK YOU GUYS - dale, Jul/11/2002 17:30:55
I knew MG would step up to the plate and be FABULOUS!
[*] RE: Review - Nellie, Jul/12/2002 15:56:46
Well l am happy to read the review of OFOTCN.
But l am not so surprised. l knew Michael would
be great. Three cheers!
[*] DITTO! - Marlene, Jul/12/2002 16:56:16
Sorry, My finger slipped.
Michael just goes on with one success after the
other. He has a great talent and we look forward
to his next endeaver. Atta way to go Michael!
[*] Wish you were all there with me at the play! - Carol,
Jul/13/2002 03:11:58
I also viewed the play this week and it was nothing
short of fabulous!
When you first see Michael he is indeed in character of
the catatonic, Chief Bromden pushing a broom not really
sweeping. It did not take long for my attention to be
grasped by the main characters. My eyes took in the full
scope of the whole acting ensemble, the set, the costumes
were first rate. I purposely did not view the movie
of OFOTCN before seeing the play, as I didn't want to compare
two. You can not go back and do it over again and again till the director
decides he finally has what he wants and prints it.
When Michael had certain scenes where he was talking
to his deceased father they reminded me of some of the
sceans in Crazy Horse (where he was praying for guidance)only
now the character of Chief was telling of the pain and atrocities
that this place had inflicted on him. There was a deeper
more mature quality to Michael's acting here. Yep, he's improved!
But then you really are not surprised are you? Yes, 'spellbinding'
is the word here.
It has been many years since I saw the movie of OFOTCN, and
I didn't remember chief as having that many lines or scenes.
I was happy to see that in this version of the play the part
of Chief was featured more.
Marty Lodge gave a lighter more comedic character of Randle
McMurphy. Other notable performances were given by Donald Clark
(Billy Bibbit) and Dudley Swetland(Dale Harding). I too, noticed
the other actors that did not have speaking parts, enhanced the
set to give a realistic feeling of an asylum.
After the performance I got to meet with Michael for
a few minutes. Got some pictures of him and with him. I
wish I could of taken pictures during the performance.
I tried to get a pic of Michael in character of Chief. But Michael
was now in his own clothes, hair combed, smiling, warm and gracious.
Completly opposite of Cheif.I wanted him to autograph my program and forgot
to ask him.
However, I can console myself with the big good-by hug he gave me
(eat your heart out girls)!
I don't think that I will ever wash the dress I wore
again:) heehee.
[*] A Big Goodby Hug????????? - Marlene, Jul/14/2002
01:17:50
Carol,
I think my eyes popped out as I read the last from
your message. You lucky girl you! I wouldn't blame
you if you never washed your dress again.TEEHEE!
Carol,I'm so happy you got to the play and gave such
a fine review of it.
A job well done,Carol.
WELL DONE!
[*] washing? - Marnie, Jul/14/2002 07:11:36
Forget the dress ....I don't expect Carol to ever wash again!! teehee.
Sounds like you had a blast, Carol...you can regale us with tales of "when
I met Michael" now ...and at the next Sat Chat ...and we shall drool with
envy LOL.
Marnie
PS You may have to sit by yourself if you do end up never washing again!
*g*
[*] What a lovely stench! - Carol, Jul/14/2002 16:29:16
After a few rounds of Greyland Grog I'm sure you'll be able to bear it!
I never imagined that I would ever meet Michael. Seeing the
play was certainly doable for me. If it wasn't for Marnie
pushing me to try and get his autograph and help from people at
the OS this encounter would have never taken place.
Thanks Marnie, it's all your fault!! My wardrobe is now one outfit less!
The good part is my memory book has a new page of unforgettable events!
I guess I have to write "What I did on my summer vacation"
[*] Did you guys go together to see the play???? - dale,
Jul/16/2002 23:42:08
Were yous(Jan,Vicki,and Sandy)together that night?
And did you guys meet Nancy G.,was she there?
[*] Dale ....I went by myself - Carol, Jul/17/2002 03:22:05
Fortunatly for me my son works for Delta airlines so
I can fly anywhere Delta flies for free. I had vacation
time coming up and had planned seeing my kids the week
after the 4th of July. For the past year I told myself
that I would go away by myself and do something really
different. My vacations usually are going back to where
I grew up and visiting my family. I really wanted to go
out west, I have never seen the Grand Canyon even though
I lived a year in Arizona. I'd like to see some other
places also. So, I made a promise to myself that I would
go somwhere that I have never been. When I read that Michael
was performing in a play I thought what a great chance to
see him acting live on stage. The thought of getting
his autograph or meeting him had not occured to me. You
girls really need to join us in the chat room. In talking
with Marnie she said that she used to go to the stage door
sometimes and get people's autographs. I have never been
an autograph hound, even though I have met people
in the public eye, famous and near famous people.
I really thought if I met Michael that I would faint!I'm
serious about this fainting. I get dizzy very easily and thought
the mere meeting would have me in the most embarassing
position. Marnie told me to e-mail Jan at the OS. When
I initially spoke with Jan I told her I would probably
go up on the weekend of July 4, however a family emergency
changed the scheduling for my time off of work. If I had
gone that weekend I would have met her and I felt sad that
I had missed her. But maybe I'll meet her some other time.
Michael's wife Nancy was not there. She just had a baby,
remember? I know that if you were married to Michael you
probably wouldn't let him out of your sight, right.*g*
Jan had arranged for Michael to meet with me, when I told
her of my plans to see the play. I wish you all could
have been there. I believe that Michael would have enjoyed
meeting all of you, just an impression that I got. He's very
outgoing, warm, friendly, and funny but I think you could have
guessed that by his FAQ pages.
A few days after I returned home I received an autographed
picture of Michael in the mail. I guess he found a way or
some time to answer some of his fan mail. I wrote him a letter
of congratulations over a year ago, on winning best supporting
actor in a role for his performance in the Lost Child. I never
expected a reply so I wasn't waiting. It was a really pleasant
surprise. What a week!
[*] THANKS MIZ CAROL - dale, Jul/17/2002 07:03:24
OH YEAH!!!!
And I wouldnt trust a sitter w/ a new born baby(EXCEPT a parent)to go out!
And your also right that I wouldnt let MG outta my sight if I were married
to him--EXCEPT he is ALSO obiviously a wonderful,faithful husband(LUCKY
YOU NG!).
It would be GREAT if we could ALL meet each other on day!
But at LEAST thanks to your son,YOU GOT LUCKY lady!
[*] OH BTW - dale, Jul/17/2002 07:06:05
I got an autographed pic of MG too!
THANKS MG and JAN/VICKI!!!!
[*] Nancy Greyeyes!!! - Anon, Jul/17/2002 15:24:05
Yes,I have wondered about Nancy for a long time
also. I bet she's a lovely person and talented too.
After all she said yes, when Michael asked her to
marry him. Maybe if we're lucky we'll all get to
meet Nancy Greyeyes some day. The wife of Michael
and the mother of little Eva Rose,that makes her
a very important person as I see it
[*] Marnie? - Marlene, Jul/17/2002 15:30:00
I wonder why my previous message had Anon as the
author? Marnie,can you tell me?
If anyone wondered,it was me who wrote about Nancy!
[*] OH................... - dale, Jul/17/2002 16:24:15
Well DITTO MARLENE!
[*] 'cos - Marnie, Jul/18/2002 04:25:42
Hi Marlene, the board automatically defaults to 'anon' if you forget to
enter something in the author box (that and the board has been losing it's
marbles lately....we live in hope that it will be fixed, sigh). I did think
of making the default "Havoc" ...but I thought that might confuse everyone
if the list mascot started talking of his own accord! LOL Though it WOULD
be funny! *g*
Marnie:)
[*] I understand! - Marlene, Jul/18/2002 15:40:40
I forgot to put my name in author slot--------Not
over the thrill of receiving sweet note from Michael
in regards to naming the main character in my story
"Echo of An Angry God" He got to read part of it.
He thought the name,Joel Loneman was real cool. I
just love that guy! And I know I'm not alone in this
feeling.
[*] It's Unanymus! - Carol-dormouse, Jul/19/2002 03:04:10

Author: Marnie, Jul/14/2002 07:58:15
Anyone checked out 'Zig Zag'? I rented the DVD and found it to be
a very good, thought provoking film. I was especially impressed by John
Leguiziamo (oh lor' did I spell that right? *g*)...he was excellent. MG's
part, while small, turned out to be an important one in the storyline.
Still it's the vicarious thrills I go for and while I asked what
could be better than a man cooking (in 'Skipped Parts') ....this is even
better ...a man taking out the garbage!!! teehee

Homepage: Michael Greyeyes' Official Fansite
Marnie, if you liked MG in ZigZag,
run, do not walk, to
see Sunshine State. Not only does
the camera love him,
but he has some wonderfully sardonic
lines -- he nails them
perfectly. The film itself is enjoyable
from beginning to
end, the audience at my cineplex
laughed at all the funny lines.
And although Michael's role is a
minor one, the audience really
notices him. A white-haired lady
sitting near me said to her companion
as the movie ended, "Now who was
that nice-looking young man, you know,
the Indian fellow driving that big
forklift?" Well, you just know I had to enlighten
the sweet little ol' lady, right?
Our OS EMail is working again, but

[*] An Idea! - Marlene, Jul/14/2002 16:40:56
Cheer up Sonja. I just got an idea,
a remake of
"Hatari" that John Wayne did a while
ago.
Of course the hero will be Michael
Greyeyes and
they just have to film it in Africa.
You can make it north each morning
to the set,
can't you? Of course you might have
to stay in a
little camper near the set. But that
will be ok.
Imagine Michael as the big hunter!
Here,think on it and have some cake.
It's white
cake with (hmmmm) vanilla frosting
and pink letters.
[*] Hatari - Nellie, Jul/14/2002 18:37:03
That was a fun film. l watched it the other day on

Speaking of re-makes, how about the Jimmy Stewart
role in Vertigo!
l better go fix lunch before l start to ramble!
[*] Bwana Michael - Sonja, Jul/15/2002 05:54:20
Oh yes...a film in Africa for Michael!!
:)
Hey ya know, they filmed some tv version
of Tarzan here with a guy called Joe Lara as Tarzan...Tee-hee all I can
see is MG as Tarzan of course, in that little leather breech-cloth...*hot
flush*! They filmed it at Sun City near the Pilansburg which is not too
far from where I am....Joe Lara absolutely LOVED the country...learned
a little Afrkaans, and generally had a ball while he was here! Man, I'd
be there so fast if MG were filming in that area *sigh*!
Cake tastes great! Any more Earl Greye(eyes)
tea? *Sonja puts head in tea-pot*
[*] Any excuse to have Michael appear in a breechcloth!
- Carol, Jul/15/2002 06:11:03
Tarzan, of all things! Didn't we already see something
like this? "Me Tokalah you Anna!"
BTW, in OFOTCN there was the party scene and all the guys
were in their boxer shorts.
All but Michael, he was fully dressed. Drat it! I guess they
didn't want him to upstage the other actors. heehee
[*] Wash my elephant! - Marnie, Jul/18/2002 04:14:17
Tarzan!!! OOH boy ....now you know I couldn't resist the thought of that.....
Tarzan in deepest Africa steals into the wilds of "Die Mystic Boer" in
Bloemfontein and makes off with ...SONJA? LOL
Just couldn't resist it Sonja...and you'll note that you don't look too

[*] Wash Elephant! - Sonja, Jul/18/2002 07:54:09
Dear all,
Yeah I know life LOOKS all romantic here in darkest Africa...but things
are not as exciting as they seem! Between washing elephants and swatting
mosquitos, I am pretty lonely out here. Tarzan is always off wrestling
lions, cleaning crocadile's teeth, and playing chess with gorillas! Thank
goodness for George of the Jungle's wife...they live just down the gorge
and she pops around for tea sometimes and we have a good natter session
complaining about the rise in crime (the carcass we left out last night
was picked to the bone!), and how our guys just don't seem to appreciate
us any more!! Send cake and muffins. Regards. Sonja
[*] Plenty of cake&Tea coming up! - Marlene, Jul/18/2002

You gals are something else TEEHEE!
Sonja------I'm coming with plenty of cake,salads and
and Greyeyes Tea. Wait for me a while because I
borrowed an elephant from the Denver Zoo and he's
from India and he wants us to go there instead of
deepest Africa.
Marnie-----Tell Michael it's not wise to play chess
with primates. They have been known to get upset
if they are losing. Then they dump insects on the
heads of their opponents.
[*] Sonja,... you she makes into a princess! - Carol-dormouse,

Oh no! here comes Coal Kitty, my cat. "You remember me
don't you (heeeheee nervous laugh)I'm your favorite
human!"
Coal Kitty stretches up to me ready to pounce and says,
"Sure you love me, that's why you went flying to Ohio
to see WHO? And where'd my picture go that you had on
your computer?"
[*] Made Up Yet? - Marlene, Jul/19/2002 18:41:13

RedWolf, also.

but sometimes they look blue and sometimes they look
green. You never can tell how they are gonna photograph.
If you saw the recipe page, Marnie had me sitting
next to Michael at the tea party. Michael was in
Tarantula garb. At that time I told her 'thanks' for
seating me there as that is probably as close as I would
ever get to him. Ha ha! I never thought I would ever be
able to meet him.

Yes,I saw you next to Michael at Marnie's tea party.
You thought that was the closest you'd get to him.
Well you never can tell!!!! Glad you got to meet
him Carol snd I think there's hope for the rest of
us. Hope--Hope==Hope!
[*] Greycon 2002! - Marnie, Jul/22/2002 07:22:55
We shall just have to arrange a convention ...and invite him as the guest
of honour, teehee! He can judge the fancy dress competition too ...where
we all dress up as characters from his films. Of course, all his films
will be showing continuously. Hmm...wonder who'd win the MG trivia contest?
LOL
Marnie:)
[*] Great Idea! - Marlene, Jul/22/2002 17:42:19
I'll volunteer to dress up as Farnesworth (Weaver's
part) in SWCH. I've watched the film at least a
dozen times but I forgot Farnesworth's military rank
I wonder what goat's milk taste like????
Anyway,I could run the video a million times more and
never get tired of seeing Michael and Janine at the end
of the picture.
[*] How about dressing as Anna....Marlene? - Carol, Jul/23/2002
01:27:41
I would like to dress as someone opposite than me like, Lydia,
real trashy with a blonde wig. I've almost got the southern accent
down. Or maybe a waitress uniform like at the end of
Skipped Parts
[*] Wow! - Marlene, Jul/23/2002 02:00:54
Don't forget,Carol,Michael might be there. TEEHEE!
Yeah,dressing up as Anna might be fun but I think
I'd be more comfortable as Buffalo Calf Woman from
Crazy Horse,in buckskin. But then I'd think of how
beautiful Irene Bedard looked and I'd probably
chicken out. HA HA!
[*] So I guess the waitress uniform... - Carol, Jul/25/2002
02:31:32
with the top three buttons undone or zipper down to
there is out of the question. *g*
And who would want to have a moose head in tow? But
Lydia did have jeans and a white blouse on I think
tied at the waist, when she first introduced her son
to Hank.
We could have the thing catered.Macaroni and cheese
for the main entre, dog stew, and lots of cucumber
sandwichs.Plenty of trocks,some of Sonja's fry bread
for the party crashers. You never know some of NA crew
might come to see what's what.
Native American Actors
Author: Rebecca, Jul/16/2002 23:32:05
Is it just me or are Native American Actors the best thing going!!!
It may be the hair, but I personlly think it is the cheekbones, they have
incredible cheekbones!!
[*] Re:Rebecca - dale, Jul/16/2002 23:36:27
I think their brand of good looks
is something that the general movie audience has not seen very much(remember
most NA roles where played by white men in the past;the NA that WERE there
were the extras-made to look as sinister as possible)
Now they are LEADING MEN--and definite
talents to be reckoned with!
NEW "STAGE PAGE" re. Cuckoo's Nest!!
Author: Vickie_&_Jan , Jul/17/2002 18:19:16
We have just uploaded and linked the new "On Stage" page
on Michael's official site. It's all about his work in
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, with his thoughts about
the role, several reviews and lots of candid photos.
Please let us know what you think of it!
http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Boulevard/6090/page18.html
Michael has been closely involved in the preparation of this
page, so it's definitely a cooperative effort. We are now
working on another new "Interview" page. Tentatively, we hope
to have it up sometime next week, but there's a lot of work
that still needs to be done.
Don't forget to also check out our new Powwow page which Michael
is particularly pleased with.
P.S. Our GreyeyesFansite@canada.com EMail address is still
having major hiccups. Please use GreyeyesFansite@hotmail.com for
now.
Thanks again for letting us post here, Marnie.
Regards,
Jan & Vickie

Beautiful page! Great interview.
Cant WAIT to HEAR the rest.

Michael's haircut looks even BETTER
now(is he getting handsomer????)
[*] Hair cut looks great! - Carol, Jul/17/2002 23:00:26
I think I am finally used to seeing MG with short hair,
cause he still looks good!
Check out the new page over on the OS. On Stage
In case you ever wondered what I look like there is
a picture of myself with Michael. Now you can associate
a face with a name.
[*] I SAW YOU CAROL....... - dale, Jul/18/2002 16:09:39
You are a LOVELY lady!
[*] Thanks, Dale! - Carol, Jul/19/2002 03:09:36

You look great Carol (though I do miss the tail and whiskers!)...what a
great memory to have, though AND a photo to savour it over and over again!

Homepage: Michael Greyeyes' Official Fansite
Thanks for the encouraging comments
about our new
"On Stage" page, ladies!
Dale, you're going to enjoy reading
Michael's replies
to those neat questions you sent
in. I just finished transcribing
more of the tape last night (still
half a tape left to do...no rest
for the weary, eh?).
He enjoyed your questions and had
us in stitches over some of his witty comments.
I think yours were about reality
shows, HBO and foreign films, right?
(There were so many questions we
covered, I'm getting confused who asked what!)
You all are going to get a good chuckle
about who he'd like to play on
"Six Feet Under"...
I'm hoping to get a draft uploaded
next week.
Jan, at Michael's OS
[*] GREAT LADIES.... - dale, Jul/21/2002 03:49:24
...great to put a beautiful smile on his beautiful face!
Good news - Skinwalkers
Author: Vickie_&_Jan , Jul/19/2002 13:29:41
You might want to starting revving up your VCRs already.
Just saw on the PBS website that "Skinwalkers" is scheduled
to air in the U.S. on PBS, Sunday, 24 November, at 9:00 p.m.
Eastern time. (Closer to that time, you'll want to check
your listing TV listings.) We'll be adding this news on the OS.
Michael considers his role in Skinwalkers one of his very best
so far. He's proud of it. You will read his candid comments on
this, in the new "Interview" page we're working on.
Marnie, perhaps you could mention this on your e-list? Thanks.
Vickie & Jan
New "Interview" page all ready
Author: Jan_&_Vickie , Jul/20/2002 22:57:08
Hi ladies,
I worked the entire day today on the new "Interview" page for the
OS.
This contains my interview with Michael two weeks ago.
Just as soon as Michael gives his approval, I will link it to the
OS.
I am sure you all will really enjoy reading his insightful, witty
and
candid answers. Including answers to Dale's really neat questions!
Best wishes,
Jan, at Michael Greyeyes' Official Fansite
[*] THANX ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!! - dale, Jul/21/2002 03:48:04
And I'm glad that 'THE MAN' really
enjoyed my questions.....
CANT WAIT!
Finally saw Zig Zag
Author: Carol, Jul/21/2002 18:59:42
When I asked the guy at Blockbuster if they had Zig
Zag in. He yelled over to a co-worker to make sure.
A voice from behind the counter said, "yes, but it's
lousy. Try renting something else." Can you imagine???
I knew Michael's part would be small, but who caress?
Couldn't miss him emptying the garbage now could I, and
the last of the long hair.
Brand-new 'Interview" page on the OS!!!
Author: Jan_&_Vickie , Jul/23/2002 23:35:17
Michael gave me his final corrections today, and the new
"Interview" page is now uploaded on the OS.
Hope you all will have a chance to look at it. You'll find
Michael's responses and observations insightful and witty. Also
several photos I took of him.
DALE - ARE YOU THERE? Michael answered your questions. Hope you
enjoy reading them.
Here is the link:
http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Boulevard/6090/page19.html
Or just go to any page of the OS and click on the new
brown "Interview" button and it will take you there.
We'd love to read your reactions and comments on this new
Interview page, as well as on our 2 other very recent pages, Powwow
Journey and On Stage! I'm sure Marnie won't mind if you
post them here. Or feel free to post them on Michael's Guestbook
(which
he enjoys reading on a regular basis, by the way). Or EMail us at
GreyeyesFansite@canada.com (our canada.com account is working again).
PLEASE NOTE Michael's special message of appreciation to his
fans at the end of the Interview page.
*Marnie* - would you mind saying something about this new Interview
page
on your E-list? The fans there might enjoy reading it as well. Many
thanks.
Sincerely,
Jan, at Michael's Official Fansite
[*] Just read the "Interview Page" - Carol, Jul/24/2002
03:00:24
I've been waiting for this and, boy
was it worth the
wait!
Everyone asked such good questions,
and Michael's
candidness sounded like he really
enjoyed answering
them.
When I watch "Inside the Actors Studio"
with James
Lipton, I wish that he would have
Michael on. Especialy
for the same fast firing questions
at the end of the interview.
Maybe Jan should have her own show??
[*] I JUST READ THE INT PAGE.................... - dale,

OH--I LOVED IT!
Hes so open,honest, AND FUN!
I know it was a BLAST to interview
him.
AND THANX LADIES for all of this
hard BUT fun work!
[*] I agree! - Marlene, Jul/25/2002 03:02:49
I agree with Carol and Dale about the interview page
and I would like to add my thanks to Jan&Vickie.
[*] For Marlene - Vickie & Jan, Jul/25/2002 11:44:55
No need to thank me, Marlene. I am grateful to Michael for
sitting down to do such a long interview on a Sunday morning,
at his home. It was lots of fun, with abundant laughter
throughout the interview! I tried to transmit some of that in
the transcription.
Glad to see that fans are enjoying reading the interview.
I'll be sure to tell him that.
Blessings,
Jan, at Michael's Official Fansite
[*] Re: Interview - Nellie, Jul/26/2002 03:33:50
l thoroughly enjoyed the interview.
Also like the pictures of Michael in his favorite
attire, shorts and t-shirt! Cool, Michael!!
[*] Me to Nellie! - Marlene, Jul/26/2002 16:49:34
Looks like maybe Michael got a t-shirt rememberence
from his experience with "Sam's Circus" ??????
Wish I lived in the house next door. Oh well,I'm
just dreaming again. Don't mind me!
New publicity photo

If any of you "regulars" here on this board, who haven't
already received it, would like Michael's latest publicity
photo which he is quite proud of, you are welcome to EMail

HEY Jan & Vickie
Author: dale , Jul/25/2002 21:11:49
Does Michael read this message board regularly???
You said he reads the guestbook.......
if he reads this board too....
OH NO--the things we've said!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[*] Reply to Dale - Jan & Vickie, Jul/25/2002 23:02:13
Michael reads his own Guestbook at
his website, and all the snail-mail that
comes to him from all around the
world. That keeps him busy
enough along with his many other
commitments.
So, not to worry, Dale!
Jan & Vickie
[*] WHEW! - dale, Jul/26/2002 01:39:01
Thank you ladies!
[*] Re: HEY Jan & Vickie - Sonja, Jul/26/2002 05:19:30
*Sonja takes head out of tea-pot for
a minute*
No Dale....Michael doesn't read this
board so feel free to be 'free'! *g* As long as you keep things 'family'
rated you can say what you like and let your imagination run wild! This
board was created for fun-loving fans - hence the constant tea parties,
LOL ! We're mostly 'Greylanders' here anyway....so no ways can things stay
'dignified' or in the least wise 'sane'!! Fantasy rulz, man!!
*Puts head back in tea-pot*
[*] XXX - Marnie, Jul/26/2002 08:26:55
The board is 'family' rated? Sheesh, I wish you'd tell me when ya make
these decisions! LOL in Marnie's dimly lit, computer room can be heard
the sound of a shredder making fast work of Marnie's latest x-rated 'tall
tale'. There goes "The Captains' captive Part II" snigger
Truthfully Dale, this board and the MGFans and Greyland sites are a 'get-together'
place for MG's fans, so drop in on Sat Chat as well, join the e-list too
(though the board is more active than the list at the moment.) Besides
we have it on good authority that as MG can't control what people write
or say about him he doesn't let what anybody says bother him. He certainly
has his head screwed on! *g*
Marnie
[*] WEll........ - dale, Jul/26/2002 16:25:41
I hope what I said above doesnt bother him....
OR HIS WIFE!

[*] Re: THANKS SONJA..... - Sonja, Jul/27/2002 06:28:21

Greycon 2002 cont.
Author: Marnie, Jul/26/2002 08:55:28
Thought I'd carry on the Greycon thread up here as we seem to be
meandering w-a-a-a-y over the page.*g*
Looks like we have a few entrants for the fancy dress competition
...so who wants to take part in the MG trivia competition, come to think
of it ...we'll have to come up with some trivia ...like:
What is MG's "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" number? (I had it worked
out at 3 ...but Mitch managed to narrow it to 2...go figure! LOL)So who
can figure out why? ...you might win some of Sonja's fry bread which she
has a never ending supply of, sigh!
I think Sonja should man the bar at this convention ...she can serve
us strange and wonderful drinks...there will naturally be 'Mooseheart'
Beer, and some aptly named cocktails like "Anna's Strained Mud Puddle"
and "Joe Reynard's SnakeBite" and no doubt we'll need 'em especially if
she serves up her fry bread as hors d'oeuvres!
teehee (sorry Sonja!)
Marnie:)
[*] Re: Greycon 2002 cont. - Sonja, Jul/27/2002 06:26:29
Sheesh gals!! One at a time!! Two
shots of Greyeagle Minion sherry is enough to put ANYONE to sleep! And
Marlene, stop staring dreamily into your Hank's Bronco Cocktail, and drink
it up, will ya?!! There?s only ONE of me behind this bar, so, line up!
Who's next??
Barkeep Sonja
[*] Carol steps up to bar.. - Carol, Jul/27/2002 13:47:46
Sonja, "I'll have a 'Grass Dancer' easy on the Creme de
Menthe, please." Removes drool bucket, takes a swig, leaves 2
bootlips for tip, stumbles over Havoc on way to stool. "Sorry
Hav." Dumps drink in Hav's water bowl.
"Sonja, Could I have another, with a Moosehead chaser."
[*] I Think I'm next! - Marlene, Jul/28/2002 03:06:59
Farnesworth steps back and let's Carol go by with
her drink. He gives her a big smile and then
whistles. Carol smiles and says,"Why thankyou sir."
"Next? Are You next?" Sonja calls.
"Yes,Ma'm! As you can see I sent my orderly over to
Colonel Custer with my goat. The Colonel dosen't
drink Alcohol you know. So while he drink's goat's
milk,I'll have a "Tokala Bravery with Vodka" and
sprinkle a little peace pipe ashes on top.
Thankyou lovely lady. Now to your Fry Bread,Sonja.
I promise not to eat too much!
[*] Whoa there, Cowboy! - Marnie, Jul/28/2002 07:30:39
"Oy! Carol ....you trying to get our poor little puppin sozzled?" Marnie
swoops down on Havoc's bowl and whisks it away to refresh the water ....but
not before she takes a large gulp herself... "Hmmm, not bad!" She then
eye's Farnsworth and tries to decide whether she should warn him about
Sonja's frybread... I mean he only has a few teeth left as it is!... She
decides to wait and see which way the cat jumps....
[*] And then....... - dale, Jul/28/2002 10:13:52
BAR FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!
[*] Havoc, growls.......... - Carol, Jul/28/2002 13:40:17
You spoil all of my fun, and who let the cat in here!!
Marnie, holds Havoc back, as he dives in his dish.
Lydia tries to calm things down,
"Sonja, could we have a 'Sober Gooch' for Dale, straight up."
That ought to distract her for a while.
Farnsworth taps frybread on bar, then dips it in goats milk. As
Lydia and Marnie gasp in amazment! Who knew you could fashion
bits of frybread into false teeth!A new use for Sonja's fry
bread has been discovered!
[*] Farnesworth grins--- - Marlene, Aug/14/2002 05:05:41
---his false teeth holding peices of fry bread---
"Havoc,old buddy,I wouldn't have missed this fight
for the world. I thought you were tomming around
with Custer's Lightning. She sure was a looker but I
guess you're not high class enough for her! Come
here Havoc,I want to show you how you can still
enjoy Sonja's fry bread,even after you become an
old poochie and loose your teeth." Havoc wags his
tail and goes to Farnesworth,looking entently at
the bits of fry bread on the bar.
"Gads!'Lydia utters in distress,"Cats and Dogs at
the bar is one thing but Farnesworth is something
else. Now I can't finish my mac and cheese that
Hank fixed us. Where is he anyway?"
Farnesworth grins at Lydia and answers,
"Hank went out to savor the majesty of the land. You betta
hurry out there Lydia because he might be sounding
like Cheif Joseph. He talks to himself a lot"
Farnesworth takes out his hunting knife and cleans
his teeth with it. Then he pats Havoc and says,
"Come on Havoc ,lets you and me go out and find that
high and mighty Lightning. Maybe she changed her
mind about you by now.However,you're right boy.
To leave her be a while is the way to treat a
female."
boy
[*] OOOOHHHH...... - dale, Jul/29/2002 01:59:13
make SURE he is sober!
[*] Sober, I am! - Marlene, Jul/30/2002 01:22:10
Don't you know an old campaigner like myself can
hold my liquor and stay sober.
CHEERS!
[*] Sonja's Dilemma - Sonja, Jul/29/2002 05:41:36
Sonja surveys the mess in the bar - Dale
has overturned several stools while she continues to insist there is a
bar fight in progress (she's shadow boxing the wooden floor-to-ceiling
strut right now!); Marlene has slopped Mooseheart Beer all over the floor;
Havoc is seated at the old Honky Tonk piano while Carol and Farnshworth
are doing a rather lively Polka to Havoc's 'animated' rendition of "Yellow
Rose of Texas" (pun intended on 'animated', Marn! LOL!), while the unknown
cat conducts from is perch on top of the chandelier.
"Can't take these Greylander's anywhere!"
mutters Sonja as she reaches for the mop.
[*] Then... - Marnie, Jul/29/2002 06:48:04
Good grief ...the Convention hasn't even been officially opened and we're
already having a bar fight? Jeez these Greylanders are precocious!
"Stop, stop stop!!!" Marnie wanders around in circles waving her arms and
trying to draw everyone's attention ...as usual she is ignored. Havoc,
wearing a wicked set of fry-bread gnashers is helping Dale to topple bar
stools with his tail while Carol and Farnsworth oblivious to the fact that
the music has stopped continue making sweet music of their own.
"Hey ...HEY", Marnie yells,"here are the convention packages and name tags
...c'mon, sign up for the quiz ... and the fancy dress and the lectures
...it'll be fun, really. OK so |
