Well, I haven't seen any traffic on my end, so maybe if I post...
 
Anyway, while at a friend's house hopping between MTV, JFK, and an 
Islanders/Nordiques game, we ran into an MTV promo for R&S, being shown at 
10 on Sunday.
 
My question: Is this going to be a weekly thing (one episode/week), or is 
MTV running every single episode from 10 to 5?

I was flicking through the channels on the cable box and ran
across some guy promoting Ren ans Stimpy on MTV.

He said that they were going to show "all twelve episodes and
premier the new episode 'Son of Stimpy'" sometime during the
week.

I just caught the end of it--I think the event is called

"Ren at Ten" and starts on Sunday. I don't know whether it's
a marathon or whether they'll show each show at 10pm (Pacific)
9pm (Central) every day until they run out. Can someone
check on this? I'm not a regualr watcher of MTV.

Also, I saw a clip of Ren and Stimpy on the Lifetime Channel
last night. They're going to show something called "The best
of Cable TV" and I believe they might show a few episodes of
Ren and Stimpy too, but I've no idea when.

This is a marvellous opportunity to promote Ren and Stimpy to
those audiences which ordinarily would never watch.
(I don't think the people who have a habit of watching Lifetime
are exactly fixated on R&S...of course, someone will post now
and say they _do_ watch Lifetime and Ren and Stimpy.)

After all the yelling about nick supposedly banning "Big Baby Scam",
I was hardly suprised to see it last night. As I said before, Nick has the
habit of pasting episodes together to keep things varied. Did it all 
through the first season.

Before yelling "BAnned", wait for proof.

I've electronically searched through the Doyle canon online for all 
occurrances of the word "John".   After eliminating all the references to John
which were not about Watson I compiled the list below.  There are three 
instances where Watson's full name is given.  The confusion about his first
name stems from Watson's Wife who calls him "James" in "The Man with the
Twisted Lip".  I personally am inclined to belive that Doyle just made a
boo-boo there.

The horse race (Silver Blaze) is in September, actually, but you've
got the general idea -- in part.

The oldest feature of the Sherlockian weekend in New York each January
is indeed the annual dinner of the Baker Street Irregulars, which will
be held tomorrow (Friday) evening.  It is open to members of the BSI --
and a few guests who are presumably potential members.  BSI membership
is awarded by the elder statespersons of the society based on Sherlockian
achievement in local societies, publications, etc.

Several other events take place during the weekend, though, including 
the Mrs. Hudson Breakfast, the William Gillette Memorial Luncheon, the
annual dinner of the Adventuresses of Sherlock Holmes, an open cocktail
party on Saturday afternoon, and any number of quasi-private parties,
book signings and walking tours.

If I'm requested to do so, I'll post more detail, though obviously it's
too late for people to get involved this year.  (Except that if you're
already in New York and were to go down to the lobby of the Algonquin,
on West 44 Street, Thursday evening wearing a deerstalker, you'd probably
meet some interesting folks.)

   He's described as "an old man of 60" in "His Last Bow", so he may
have been born around 1854; Queen Victoria gave him an emerald tie-pin,
so emerald may have been his birthstone; "Twelfth Night" is the only

his breakfast untasted before him, so he may have had a hangover from

I've searched for all of the above references both by title and by author and

"221B" by Vincent Starrett, BSI

Here dwell together still to men of note
Who never lived, and so can never die:
How very near they seem, yet how remote
That age before the world went all awry.
But still the game's afoot for those with ears
Attuned to catch the distant view-halloo:
England is England yet, for all our fears -
Only those things the heart believes are true.

A yellow fog swirls past the window-pane
As night descends upon this fabled street:
A lonely hansom splashes through the rain,
The ghostly gas lamps fail at twenty feet.
Here, though the world explode, these two survive,
And it is always eighteen ninety-five.

	Happy Birthday, Mr. Holmes!
