An excellent idea.   With the advertising plan worked out,  all Cessna has to do
is start manufacturing 172s again.  (They havn't made a light single engine plane
since ~1980).

I guess this really belongs in rec.aviation, but I couldn't resist.

Ok....I don't know which of these have been mentioned in the long running
which-actor-was-in-what discussions, but here's my own discoveries: 
John Columm (Holling....excuse the spelling =) was in the classic Post-
World-War-III miniseries, _The Day After_....he played a farmer who survives
the initial destruction of the midwest. The guy who plays Maurice played the
general or some such person in the Pentagon in the classic hacker movie, _War
Games_...(very similar to Maurice I might add...) And Janine Turner, everyone's
favorite Maggie O'Connel was naked and murdered in the classic cheezy horror
flick..._Monkey Shines_...she's only in it for about 2 minutes or so from 
what I remember....I don't even think she has many, if any, lines...I just
remember seeing her lying in bed with some other character.

Well, at least we now know what the German's think of Alaskan Beer.  (What
kind of beer was it he tried anyway.

The other thought of mine is about Maurice's further racial slurs.  Is "kraut"
any less offensive than "jap"?  Or are they on the same level of offensiveness?

Well, there should be a refund on those 2 cents... Maurice already owns a  
Mac.  It is suposed to be in the KBHR offices.  Ed used it in the first  
season to type up a screen play...

I was actually kind of disappointed that they would use Macs in this  
instance... don't get me wrong, I own two macs (an SI and CI), and I love  
them, but if she is doing number theory and heavy crunching, the producers  
should have found an IBM 6000 or a Sun workstation... what would have been  
really cool is if they used a NeXT...

Strait up, Macs and Math don't add up at this time (she wasn't even using  
a Quadra).

A song plays in a dream sequence in the "Joel&Maggie in Juneau" episode of
Northern Exposure,
 "Toy Cows in Africa, Toy Cows.  Toy Cows in Africa, Toy Cows..."
Most take in the scenes and music while unconsiously tapping a foot.
Over the next few days, many of them found themselves quietly repeating the
addictive refrain, and decided to look for the song.  Most must have given
up after looking in a song title reference, and not finding it under
"Toy Cows", "Cows", "Africa", "Sittin", "Watchin", or "Moonbeam"...
Some discovered that they weren't the only ones curious about "Toy Cows."
Shortly thereafter the globe was divided into 57 sections, and sections
were assigned for what was to later become known as "The Great Cow
Crusade."  I was responsible for searching the West coast of the
United States.  Well, it was a long and tiring search, but DID find
"Toy Cows In Africa", by _Chance_, in California.

I talked with Cheryl Leah, one of the founders of the group, _Chance_.
It was she that sang the non-refrain portions of the song.  She said that
a friend of hers edits for Northern Exposure, and found that the song fit
the video of the dream sequence, perfectly.  She was VERY surprised to
hear of our search for the song.

That song is on a taped album that they sell wherever they play, and on
a three song demo tape.  She was excited to inform me that they will have
the album available on CD by Christmas.  I decided to buy the three song
demo tape and wait for the CD.  She said that she would inform me when
the CD was available.

The three song demo tape has "Toy Cows In Africa," "No Mama," and
"Is There A Limit?"  I was NOT disappointed.

If you want the song, call her at (818)980-9623.  You qill probably get
their answering machine.  Give her a call, and tell her I said to!!

I think that all TV shows which usually have some continuing plot
threads running from episode to episode produce some "context-free"
episodes each season.

These come in handy in two situations:
     -- They are scheduled at times where there is a high likelyhood
     of pre-emption.  (If the episode IS pre-empted, it won't mess
     up the scheduling of the following episodes.  Remember, TV
     programs like TV-guide are produced on a two- to four-week lead
     time, so if an entire group of episodes has to be delayed by one
     week each, the TV schedules will be wrong for the next three
     weeks or so.)

     -- They can be dropped in any time during the Season as an 
     emergency substitute for a scheduled episode, without seeming
     totally out of place.  (Taotally unguessable events can make it
     inadvisable to air episodes on certain subjects at certain times.
     For example, a humorous episode about a plane crash in which no
     one is hourt, might still be in questionable taste if there 
     happened to be an ongoing news story about a plane crash in 
     Alaska with tragic consequences.)

Just some thoughts.  The episode in question may have been one of 
these -- run at this time because of the possibility of pre-emption
for election-related material.  (Due to uncertanties about debates,
etc.)

I was thinking the same thing--something more specialized than what was shown
would be needed.  I own a generic 386SX (DOS) system and even I would consider
it ill-suited for the heavy-duty number crunching she was doing.  But then,
Sun or NeXT didn't pay the producers  :-) I didn't know about Maurice's Mac.

Depends.  Not everything that a microbrew makes is the same.  Some is
strong, some weak.  He might have been given something that, while
normally strong and heavy to American tastes, was pretty low key
compared to his punk hangouts.

Then again, he may have just ordered "beer", and Shelly brought whatever
was popular there (which won't be the most expensive).

Almost certainly; after Chris' closing monologue at KBHR, they cut to a
