WOW! I have just heard the most wonderful, squifferific, fantastic, super-duper, way too much for just a comment, lovely, supercalifragaliciousexpealidocious full-on grand mal squeezure-inducing news!
And to my friend lolmac , the great and powerful Beth, I say:
Some random non-noob just posted this on WWdN...huh.
Also? You figure prominently in a recent contest entry over on Scalzi's blog. Said entry won said contest, and it was written by a dear friend of mine.
I've heard from AMCtv.com, and just sent them my mailing address. When the DVDs arrive, you and Becky and Lothi and everyone should just come over to my place for a DVD-watching party. Ya think?
"...and their font is "Albertus", the same font that was used on my favorite tv show of all time, The Prisoner. Matter of fact, it was my fanatical love of The Prisoner that allowed me to understand why anyone would want to wear a spacesuit and go to a convention. Because I used to have a lame little Number 6 pin, and I would wear it to game cons, back in the day..."
Amended-this post is often rehashed in future writings, like Just A Geek, so it is well-known to most Wheatonites. It feels like home to most of us, whether we were there then or not. I must confess to this being a tiny bit the case for me. I discovered WWdN in 2002, but it wasn't so huge then, and I went back and read the entire thing THAT DAY. Been there ever since. Sigh...home.
(Thanks random chatter on startrek.com who pointed me there! I still remember chatting up Nemesis with you before it came out and getting props for my madcap Undiscovered Country quote skillz!)

Hmmm . . 'Beth, the great and powerful' . . . not all that convincing, but what the heck! I promise to use my powers for good!
See your icon for proof. Only someone truly great and powerful could come up with that palindrome!
Seriously, this truly rocks! Well done!

OH, and did I mention the prize for this contest is a DVD set of the original The Prisoner? Huh?
But you know, it occurs to me that Wil's very favorite TV show of all time is The Prisoner. Just sayin. What a crazy random happenstance!

Non. Noob. Thank you and moving on.
