Spring in South Africa
Author: Sonja, Sep/1/1999 06:02:02
Spring is sprung, the grass is riz.........
Woke up this morning to the birds
chirping loudly, sun peaking up over the horizon promising a
warmer day. It really DOES feel
like 'SPRING' here this monring!
Came in to work singing 'spring'
songs, logged in to my FAVOURITE site (this one of course *grin*),
and had my morning 'fix' of Michael!
I know you guys up in the northern
hemisphere are starting your 'Fall' season now, but I just feel so
'positive' today, thought I'd
share the feeling with y'all!
Happy MG-filled day all!!
Yoooooo hooooooo! : - )

I can't believe it! I finally
got on this board!
I've been trying for the last
few days to post a msg.
on this board as well as the
MG one list and have had
NO luck posting on either for
some reason.
Just wanted to say HI. I've enjoyed
reading
everyone's msgs. when I can but
am glad I can
finally post one as well!
I'm "julia 2" (there appears to
be a previous Julia
on this list) but my Indian name
is "she who likes
chocolate"!)
(Oh dear, hope no one is offended
by that last sentence, it
is meant in jest)
that's all for now!!!!
chocolate fan - Angela Konen, Sep/2/1999 03:14:41
Hi Julia 2!
I love chocolate too especially the dark semi-sweet kind BUT you have to
keep in mind that
"Tokalah is
BETTER THAN CHOCOLATE!" :):)

Guess who, with guess what...
Author: Sonja, Sep/2/1999 05:56:27
Yep, me again, with a CALL TO KEEP VOTING!!!
We have Michael in FRIST PLACE!
Can we keep him there?
VOTE GIRLS!!!!!
I see a few BABES are hanging
around the booth again - keep an eye on their voting fingers, people,
and don't let a day go by without
voting!!
(Pass the tea Marnie, I'm quite
exhausted with all this excitement!!)
Sonja
Every morning before my cafe au lait! - Angela Konen, Sep/2/1999 14:24:02
I never fail!! I personally hit the button that marked the 500 vote the
other day!!
TOKALAH RULES!
Angela
More voting booth blues? - Marnie, Sep/3/1999 17:47:54
I'm voting, I'm voting ....my finger is a worn down red stub ....and the
Frankie Avina fans are
still sneaking up on us! I'm so exhausted I'll have to go watch some more
of the new Aboriginal
People's Television Network ....just one glimpse of MG and I'll be refreshed.
Speaking of
refreshments, Angela, I'll have a cup of Earl Grey(eyes) and pass the cucumber
sandwiches ...(I
hope Gin didn't make them ...she never cuts the crusts off the way I like
'em! *s*)
Marnie
Holding our own - Sonja, Sep/6/1999 07:11:35
I must say I'm pretty excited about Michael in first place. We just have
to keep on
keepin' on!!! By the end of this month our voting fingers will be in peak
condition. If
anyone is suffering from the dreaded 'voters finger', I have a good salve
here which may
help the situation. It should be massaged in to the ailing finger while
observing any
picture or video of MG. This usually does the trick and that finger will
be ready and
raring to vote again!
As it's a new week, I have brought a new supply of Earl Grey, a fresh sliced
sandwich
loaf, butter, cucumbers, and a pinch of pepper - and for goodness sake,
someone cut
Marnie's crusts off before she does something nasty!!!
My finger is fine! - Angela Konen..., Sep/6/1999 12:26:50
Just voted! I'm # 220. The second place person has 143. Sonja, you must
have some
special sauce on that
cucumber sandwich! I like my cukes,whole, unadorned(in all their natural
goodness)
and with just a pinch of salt.
Angela
Greyeyes?
Author: Greyeyes, Sep/6/1999 22:42:06
Hi, just out of curiosity, I am
navajo. I am a navajo greyeyes.
Whats the story behind Michael
Greyeyes' last name. Oh, i think
he is a very accomplish person.
Thanks. Bye.
What's in a name? - Marnie, Sep/7/1999 03:57:37
Well, I don't know anything about it's origin but I'll tell you what little
I do know. MG
pronounces it Grey-Eyes as in two words ...apparently it has been pronounced
several different
ways. At his official site he does talk about his surname a little ...especially
people's reaction
to his name ...the usual being ...and I quote it here, ""But your eyes
aren't gray!" I heard this
one so many times, that when people don't say it I'm practically surprised."
MG is Cree from
Saskatchewan, Canada ...and I know there are quite a few Greyeyes' in Saskatchewan,
I know a
family in my town with the same surname, too. (Not in saskatchewan) So,
although it isn't a
really common name ...it isn't so unusual either. Hope this helps, Marnie
- Greyeyes, Sep/8/1999 03:51:47
Thanks for the response. I get that all the time myself and it is
pronounced the same way. Oh well. It is all right though.
NUMERO UNO!! - Angela Konen..., Sep/9/1999 13:01:04
THIS IS A RAP!! SO GET OFF THE COMPUTER CHAIR AND CLAP!
Get out the cucumbers...put on the tea.. Michael's the maim man... as you
can see...He's all that...
and he's so fine...Vote for OUR HERO...ev'ry single
time!!

Ha-ha!! Well done Angela! What a call to arms!!
Enough cuke sandwiches already! - inti, Sep/12/1999 11:22:52
All those cucumber sandwiches you damsels are devouring
are getting pretty boring. I tried recipes
yesterday for Ojibway bannock (sort of a biscuit bread)
with sage and wild onion, served with spicy wild rice
burgers (a recipe from the same Native chef). They
were different, scrumptious and heavenly. I have
plenty of Sonja's South African Rooibos tea to wash
them down, so come on over, y'all!

Folks, WE'RE DOING IT!! We have
Michael still firmly in first place at the polls, with a lead of
over 100 votes. Ha! Those Frankie
Avina fans don't know what hit 'em, 'ey? *grin*
Thank you to everybody for voting
so regularly - don't slack off now!!!! We aren't even half way
through the month yet!
If you've never voted before,
go to the Voting Booth from the link above, and start voting today!
Brain interruption - Marnie, Sep/8/1999 20:16:47
I followed the link to the voting booth but when I got there I couldn't
remember was it
Michael Greyeyes or Frankie Avina I was supposed to vote for ...decision,
decisions! I
definitely need some Earl Grey(eyes) tea to refresh my little grey(eyes)
cells! Get the kettle
on Sonja and do we have any cucumbers for a round of sandwiches or has
Angela eaten them all
sans bread and butter?
Marnie
PS Oh yes, in the end I voted for Michael! *s*
Too much Havoc - Sonja, Sep/9/1999
06:36:37
Homepage: Voting booth
My dear Marnie, you have obviously been spending much too much time nursing
that pooch
of yours back to health. Perhaps it is the fumes from the alcohol-rub you
have been
massaging into our intrepid mascot's back legs every few hours. So we will
forgive you,
THIS time!! *grin*
I do most certainly feel you need a 'pick-me-up' prescribed : So, one large
pot of Earl
Grey(eyes) tea comin' up, and I'm sure Angela will supply some more sandwiches
if we ask
nicely. But I'm kinda missing that wonderful frybread - should I make another
attempt at
a batch then??
Sonja's Recipe ...Contravening the Geneva Convention?
- Marnie, Sep/9/1999 08:16:36
Oo...er. That would be lovely Sonja ...Havoc loved the last batch...OK,
we used them
as frisbees but I know Theresa gave you some good recipe advice so surely
you'll
have the hang of it by now! If not, could you make 'em extra large ...I
have to
replace a couple of patio stones!
Marnie
PS I'm just off to vote ...for MG, yes...definitely MG!
10 Uses for Sonja's Frybread - Sonja,
Sep/10/1999 05:53:53
Homepage: Voting booth
1. EAT 'EM (As long as you aren't too attached to your TEETH!)
(Next 2 are Marnie's contribution)
2. Use as a Frisbie
3. Repair Patio (they make good flagstones)
4. Smaller ones make good hockey pucks
5. Put through a chipper they can be used in the manufacture of chip-board.
6. As the clay pigeon in Clay Pigeon Shooting.
7. Surface to air missiles.
8. Can be used as currency in any small African country.
9. Hang them on the wall and tell your friends it is the latest thing in
contemporary art.
10.As a means of torturing Marnie when she takes too long to update the
shared files. *grin*
Frontal assault at the voting booth!!!!!!!!
Author: Sonja, Sep/18/1999 05:47:32
A call to arms - all MG fans!!!!!!!
Frankie Avina's fans have launched
an offensive and are gaining ground!! Vote everyone!!!!!!
Tallyho!! - Marnie, Sep/20/1999 09:27:51
Well, I'm off to vote ....but I think we may be in need of re-inforcements!
Everyone, drop your
Earl Grey(eyes) tea and get your Mothers on-line, your brothers on-line
....heck, get the
strange Uncle that no-one talks about! Just make sure they vote for MG!
Marnie (who thinks that the strain of keeping MG no.1 may finally be getting
to her!)
Only 20 votes separate us! - Torrie, Sep/18/1999 16:26:24
I was on to vote this morning and there is only 20
votes between MG and FA!!! When did this happen?
I vote everyday and yesterday a.m. there was over a
hundred votes separating them!!! Something is
"fishy" here!!! I demand a recount!!!
Where do I vote??? - Sasha, Sep/19/1999 03:33:13
Hi. I am new to this board and group. Where do I go
to vote for Michael, and who is Frankie Avina? I have
never heard of him. I gather that y'all don't like him
too much:-) Please let me know where to vote for Michael.
Thanks,
Sasha

Hi Sasha, Here is the link:

and the hot link direct the the Booth is above, too.
It's not that we don't like Frankie ...it's just that we have this friendly
rivalry
going with his fans ...and there seems to be a lot more of them than us
so they keep
beating us!!!! So welcome, the more the merrier ...and get over to the
voting booth
...we need you!! :)

Dear God That Michael Greyeyes Is Fine
Author: dawn, Sep/19/1999 16:37:18
I just watched Stolen Women on
tape that a friend had recorded
on tape, and I have to say sweet
jesus that man is breathtaking.
I don't know if his wife knows
it or not, but she is the luckiest
woman around. My favorite part
also was where he said I'll run you till you drop.
I watched and the man has me
all tougue tied and dizzy.
They need to release all his
movies in a collection.
I would pay for it no matter
the cost, and I must say there
isn't a leading man in hollywood
that could even begin
to compete with him in looks.
I think God makes one special
man that man had to Michael Greyeyes
because i have never
in my life seen such a man. I
mean good looking and can
dance also. I wish him and his
family all the luck
in the world they deserve it
all.:)

It's funny the effect MG has on us....believe me you're not alone. :) You
just happened to pick
Sonja's favourite line, too,- "I'll run you till you drop!" ...and now
you've reminded her ....we
won't be able to get any sense out of her for days!
I just added a new page in the gallery ...you might want to drop in and
check it out.
Marnie
Favorite line - Sasha, Sep/20/1999 12:01:25
That line was one of my favorites too, but I also
loved the expression on his face when he was about
to shoot her and couldn't. I also loved all of the
sexual tension between them. OK OK, I loved every
single scene with Michael in it:-)
Sasha
HELL YA HE FINE - LATINA DIVA, Nov/25/1999 00:39:10
GIRL I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN HE SHOULD BE THE NEXT "BRAD
PITT"BUT HE LOOKS ALOT BETTER TO ME.YOU GO MICHAEL!
Welcome Sasha and Dawn!!
Author: Angela Konen, Sep/20/1999 16:56:10
It is so good to meet more people
that feel like I do whenever I see that "Apollo among men",
everything about him is so well
proportioned and beautiful!! I am driving our local video store crazy
to hurry up with my personal
order for "Crazy Horse". See our
Noble Warrior, Our Hero, defend
the Lakota!!
AND if you feel he is NUMBER ONE , VOTE!
PS--some other favorite parts
of SWCH include "the Pat, the Shirt(my personal favorite), "Wash
the Horse,Anna" and of course,
the Kiss
The Pat???? - Sasha, Sep/21/1999 03:15:25
Hi Angala,
Thanks for the welcome. I keep trying to remember
"the pat", but keep coming up blank.All of the
other scenes I can remember, but what was "the pat"?
Thanks,
Sasha
Ooops!!! Misspelled name - Sasha, Sep/21/1999 03:18:23
Sorry that I spelled your name wrong Angela. I really
do need to proofread before I post:-)
Sasha
Not to worry! - Angela Konen, Sep/21/1999 10:31:01
I get misspelling of my name all the time--Mostly
"Angelia" I am glad you are with us--and that you joined our onelist group.
The Pat explained for Sasha
-
Sonja, Sep/22/1999 05:53:45
The first scene with Anna in Tokala's teepee where they start to talk to
one another
(they both 'speak bad', remember?) He leans back and gently pats the skin
bedding next
to him with a 'You KNOW what I want' look on his face. She, the demure
Christian woman
that she is, is horrified and tells him she HAS a husband, and will not
commit adultery
with him, or anyone else.
He does SUCH a good 'sulk'! *grin*
Favorite Lines
Author: Amanda, Sep/21/1999 19:44:12
While we're on the subject of
favorite lines from "Stolen Women", I just can't stop thinking about
my favorite. When they are alone
in his tee-pee, his hand touches the side of her cheek and he
murmurs, " I want you to live
in my lodge, share my life", etc.... And later, after she reminds him that
she has a husband, his answer
" That was in your old life! You are free to chose me". Ah, great
stuff!!! He certainly has a lasting
effect on the senses, doesn't he?
My Lodge - Angela Konen..., Sep/21/1999 20:47:44
I can't remember his touching her cheek but I do remember "I want you to
live in my lodge.."
and she stiffens up and I am sitting at home thinking,"this is insane,
how can she turn him
down!!!" I can't remember if this is a separate scene from "the pat" or
if it is in the same
scene. I think there are 2 scenes inside his lodge. This is what happens
when you don't have a
tape in your vcr at a crucial time!!
The Lodge - Amanda, Sep/21/1999 22:36:12
The scene with "the pat" is the first scene inside the lodge. Yes, there
is a second scene
later on. This one opens with her asking him how he got his scars. He tells
her he got them
in a "vision quest", but cannot speak of it. Then, he touches her cheek,
etc....I love the
scene with " the pat", as well. So sexy!! There's another scene I remembered
when Anna
tries to escape and he confronts her. (Before the kiss). She yells at him
that he stole her
from her home, etc.. and he replies, "I gave you a better life!" His vocal
inflection is so
moving. It just gives me chills! What a character Tokalah is!!
Moving inflections - Angela Konen, Sep/22/1999 11:34:32
Speaking of vocal inflections--his voice is memorable and easy to pick
out in a
group. I love it when he is angry and clips the endings to his words-especially
when
he speaks in Lakota (Crazy Horse) and as Gooch
(DMO). He could read the telephone directory and I would be thrilled.
New pics page!!

Have you seen the new page in
our picture gallery, folks?!! Once again Marnie has managed to
capture some wonderful moments
from Michael's performances. (And having a shot of Peter Kelly
Gaudreault in there doesn't hurt
either! *Ouch!! Who kicked me under the tea table?!!!* Yes I
KNOW this is a 'Michael Greyeyes'
Board!!!! Sheesh!)
Anyhoo, three cheers for our 'Atta-girl
Award' winning Gallery Queen - Marnie!!! LOVE that last
pic, Marn! *giggle*
Captures - Laura, Sep/22/1999 12:14:52
I love the clever captures too!
Of course!! - Angela Konen, Sep/24/1999 02:52:58
Beautiful pictures AND captions too!!You are a "composer" and "lyricist".
Thanks, Marnie

hello - Meagan, Oct/20/1999 17:58:44
Hello can you tell me about who is the highest paid celebrity is?
Another Poll
Author: Sasha, Sep/22/1999 19:03:43
I can't get into Yahoo right now,
so i thought that I would leave a message.
A friend gave me this addy to
another poll. I know, you're thinking that we
don't need another poll, but
since Michael was already on it, I thought that we
ought to vote for him on it too.
It's about NA actors that you think deserves
an Oscar for the role that he
played. Guess who is in first place? Nope, it's
not Michael. I have some other
stuff to tell y'all, but I want to wait until
I can write a letter to the group.
Talk to y'all soon.(Hopefully)
Whoops, I forgot to include the addy:-) - Sasha, Sep/22/1999 19:06:24

That Michael Greyeyes is one super actor!
Author: Cindy Johnston, Sep/25/1999 15:54:20
Just wanted you to know, Michael,
that I think what
you have accomplished in your
lifetime as a dancer
and actor is absolutely wonderful.
I have seen only
a few of your movies, but I loved
them all. And I hope
you will be making more movies
and T.V. appearances
in the future. I also think it
is great that you
are learning more about your
Cree heritage. Being a
little more than 1/4 Cherokee
myself, I have been deeply
involved in learning more about
my own heritage for the
past several years. I hope to
attend a powwow that will
soon be coming to a town near
my home. If I'm lucky,
I might see you there - who knows?!
Take care.
...Best wishes,
Cindy Johnston
