[Fawkes-fan] LOL
[MrsSpooky] o.O
[GinaS] LMAO

[IvyThePlant] *snerk*
[MikeMcCafferty] Not put into the scene at the end of the scene Eddy picks up the data viewer and looks at it, proably looking at Laila, sort of drooling

[MikeMcCafferty] The "I want the purple one" line Vince did was ad-libbed
[Doretta78] LOL
[Doretta78] cool!
[Nebula] yay!
[MikeMcCafferty] The way Paul and Vince work is interesting to watch
[MrsSpooky] Cool! Grabby little thing, isn't he? :D

[Spud] ad-libs are fun
* RevTrask senses walt spinning in his grave...er, freezer
[Nebula] spook =S
[I-Mom] Purple is my favorite color.
[MikeMcCafferty] they get the script before they get ready to rehearse
[MikeMcCafferty] they look it over and then start riffing on it
[sage26] riffing? Hmm...
[Nebula] cool!!
[Spud] MST!!
[MikeMcCafferty] of course all of the time it's usually better
[MikeMcCafferty] because it's how they talk
[MikeMcCafferty] it makes it harder for those of us who tend to stick with the script
[MikeMcCafferty] especially Eddy
[neveroddoreven] Then completely forget the lines that were written...
[MikeMcCafferty] poor Eddy
* Nebula wants to move to sd to watch the fantastic 5 work
[MikeMcCafferty] Exactly
[MikeMcCafferty] but sometimes those beautifully crafted lines don't make it to the camera
* RevTrask wonders why Neb wants to move to South Dakota? lol
[MikeMcCafferty] GA
[Nebula] lol trask
[Nebula] ok!
[fawkesielady] LOL trask
[KatrynSedai] Ok Neb - your question, hon
[I-Mom] San Diego Rev
[neveroddoreven] Eddie keeps up with them better now, now that he realizes that's just the way they work.
[R2] I have a question for Laruen when it's her turn, BTW
[Nebula] Ok, first off i want to thank you soooo much for putting my web page URL on your links page!
[Nebula] twice, nontheless ^_^
[Nebula] and for my question..
[MikeMcCafferty] Your welcome!
[MikeMcCafferty] I accidentally left out yours Spud, sorry
[Spud] it's okay *g*
[Nebula] i know that you were in "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown" (playing Charlie himself), do you have a favorite instrument? or have you played an instrument? other than your voice? =)
[MikeMcCafferty] I play the piano
[Nebula] me too =)
[fawkesielady] as do I
[sage26] me three!
[MikeMcCafferty] for about 12 years I played the piano, just sort of picked it up
[MikeMcCafferty] which means I'm a hack
* RevTrask has been known to play a mean radio
[KatrynSedai] lol
[Doretta78] lol
[Spud] hehe
[fawkesielady] lol
[Nebula] that's incredible!
[MikeMcCafferty] but for 5 years I was part of an acapella quartet
[fawkesielady] cool
[quicksilvermad] wow

[IvyThePlant] keen!
[quicksilvermad] I love acapella!
[R2] loves men with great voices
* R2 faints
[fawkesielady] i scare the cats when i sing LOL
[MikeMcCafferty] GA
* KatrynSedai believes that a karaoke scene is a MUST now
[Fawkes-fan] baritones are the best!
[Nebula] maybe you can karoke for us at the con? =)
* Helena pours a bucket of ice water on R2...noting that the ice cubes must be causing pain...
* sage26 waits in anticipation for that!
[MikeMcCafferty] I did karoke at the party
* Misbe stacks the smelling salts by R2...
[MikeMcCafferty] I can't remember what I sang
[MikeMcCafferty] someone sang summer nights like 3 times
[MikeMcCafferty] drove us NUTS!
* RevTrask bows head and prays for deliverance from karoke
[fawkesielady] lol
[Nebula] lol!
* GinaS wonders if Mike sang with any Philbins
[MikeMcCafferty] GA
[KatrynSedai] ok, R2 - ask OboeCrazy's question
* Spud is thinking "Agony" (always)
[R2] okay Mike .. this is for Lauren (OboeCrazy)
[R2] Do you think there will ever be a backstory for Eberts, or can you give us one?
[MikeMcCafferty] oop, hang on
[MikeMcCafferty] Friends are over ...
* RevTrask heard that Eberts put himself thru college as a taxi dancer
[Fawkes-fan] what is a taxi dancer?
[Spud] male escort
[Spud] ?
[MikeMcCafferty] yeah ...
[fawkesielady] lol
[quicksilvermad] lol
[Fawkes-fan] really?
[IvyThePlant] lol
* Helena thinks that Eberts' wife put him through college :-)
[KatrynSedai] OMJ
[MikeMcCafferty] I don't know if there is a back story for Eberts
[MikeMcCafferty] I don't mind that there isn't one right now, it adds to his mystery
[MikeMcCafferty] I tried to keep out the IRS line just so you never knew what he did
[MikeMcCafferty] there were a couple takes I did put it in and soem where I didn't
[MikeMcCafferty] and we went with it
[MikeMcCafferty] it's just kind of funny that you don't know what this guy does or where he came from
[MikeMcCafferty] he just sort of ... talks
* R2 thinks he came from Vulcan
* RevTrask is overwhelmed by the enigma that is "Eberts"
[Doretta78] and shreds..
[sahall77] AND HE LOOKS GGOD
[quicksilvermad] he needs more scenes...
[fawkesielady] lol R2
[sahall77] SORRY GOOD
[MrsSpooky] Get Eberts More Scenes
[MikeMcCafferty] oh, I liked it better the first time
[GinaS] and looks sad
[IvyThePlant] an enigma wrapped in a mystery shrouded in paperwork
* R2 wants to give Eberts big hugs for his pupply looks
[fawkesielady] YEAH! more scenes
* RevTrask laughs at Ivy!
* Spud is right behind R2
[GinaS] ... bombarded by insults Ivy
[MikeMcCafferty] where is that from Ivy?
[quicksilvermad] "Sorry, force of habit."
[IvyThePlant] from the dark recesses of my mind
[IvyThePlant] just popped out
[fawkesielady] lol
[RevTrask] ow
* GinaS thinks that might be a scary place
[Lori-hobbesaholic] Ivy has many dar recesses
[Adelheide] Ivy pops a lot
[IvyThePlant] probably flashbacks from my previous job
[MikeMcCafferty] I got so .. carried I forgot I answered a question!
[MikeMcCafferty] okay GA
[KatrynSedai] MrsSpooky - your turn, hon :-)
[MrsSpooky] Ooo
[MrsSpooky] First off Mike, I think you know that Eberts is all our favorite teddy bear in a tie. :)
[MrsSpooky] WE love you to pieces
[Helena] MrsSpooky...quite possibly the number one Eberts' fan
[Doretta78] totally
[R2] I agree!
[MrsSpooky] My question is - what is your favorite type of music. What is EBERTS' favorite music?
[fawkesielady] me too
[R2] Mrs Spook rocks on the Eberts file!
[MrsSpooky] :)
[MikeMcCafferty] I want to divert here for a minute ...
[MikeMcCafferty] I want to talk about Mrs. Spooky and the first time I came in contact with her ...
[Doretta78] uh oh
[MrsSpooky] d'oh!
[Nebula] heh!
* Doretta78 prepares for storytime!!
[Doretta78] lol
[MikeMcCafferty] I remember I was looking over the GvsE website when they were getting ready to cancel the show and put our show in
[MikeMcCafferty] I wanted to see what everyone was saying about it and Mrs Spooky seemed like a literate person
[MikeMcCafferty] She wanted to boycott I-Man
[MikeMcCafferty] She wanted to boycott our show
[MrsSpooky] Um
[Doretta78] *GASP*
[Adelheide] MISSUS!
[sahall77] WHAT????
[quicksilvermad] AK!!!!
[Doretta78] *gasp gasp*
[fawkesielady] WHAT!!!???
[Fawkes-fan] I can't believe it!
* sage26 gasps SPOOK!
[Spud] lol! MOTHER!
* Nebula is shocked!
* GinaS thinks someone has the goods on Mrs. S!
[MrsSpooky] Mike...
[Fawkes-fan] Mrs. S???
[MikeMcCafferty] She was so mad .. that worried me obviously ...
* silverist is stunned
[MikeMcCafferty] hold on
[MikeMcCafferty] hold on
[Doretta78] O_o
[MikeMcCafferty] it gets better!!!
* quicksilvermad breathes into her paper bag again
[Jago-ji] well, she has changed her mind!
* Doretta78 takes spooky off her buddy list
[MrsSpooky] honey....
[Fawkes-fan] do tell, Mike
* Spud is shocked at her "mother"
* RevTrask *did* boycott, hangs head in shame
[MikeMcCafferty] So I took the time to email her and tell her I was in the show and that I agreed that it was bad they were canceling the show
[MikeMcCafferty] but I asked her to please sample the show first
* IvyThePlant understand's spooky's initial reaction
[MikeMcCafferty] and she emailed back that she would watch it, that she had no malice toward the show
[MikeMcCafferty] but she just wanted to raise the attention of the sci fi channel
[MikeMcCafferty] eventually, of course, she became a great fan of the show
[MikeMcCafferty] and she's right here right now
* Doretta78 puts her name back on the list..
[MrsSpooky] All because of YOU
[Nebula] =D
[fawkesielady] whaw!
* Spud beams at MrsS and Mike
[MikeMcCafferty] and so I was appreciative of the fact that she took time to give the show a chance
[IvyThePlant] feel the love...
[neveroddoreven] Awww, that's so sweet...
[Helena] a big fan...a huge fan...an Eberts'/Mike fan
[Adelheide] Ya had me worried for a minute, Missus
[GinaS] She was your first convert then Mike!
* quicksilvermad wipes a tear from her eye
* silverist applauds!
[I-Mom] I-Mom sheds a tear
[MrsSpooky] I really don't remember urging people to boycott the show, but after you posetd, I did ask them all to give y'all a chance
* sage26 sniffles, that was...beautiful!
[MikeMcCafferty] I like to call R2 the number one fan
[RevTrask] It was touching without descending into the maudlin (sniffle)
[MrsSpooky] Yes, all because of Mike
[Nebula] heh!
[WyldInvisiChyld] What's the "fg" stand for?
[MikeMcCafferty] but I like to call Mrs Spooky the number 0 fan because she was there before anyone else was
* Doretta78 wonders if someone typed that for Mike...*lol*
[Jago-ji] Whattaguy!
* R2 just fainted dead away
* Helena thinks its totally Mikes fault...the fanbase of the show
[R2] *ack*
[MrsSpooky] Isn't he cute? :)
[Fawkes-fan] Yep, Spook
[MikeMcCafferty] Now I should answer her question ...
* GinaS thinks R2 is the #1,2,3,4, and 5 fan wrapped in one!
[MrsSpooky] Thanks, hon. ;)
[R2] LOL!
[R2] feels that way!
[R2] I'm not lonely in here, boy
* RevTrask has forgotten Spook's question
[quicksilvermad] rapped more like it
[fawkesielady] lol
[MrsSpooky] Should I repat it?
* Spud thinks she needs to hop on a plane to Cali to give Mike a big hug
[Helena] yes spook...repat it
[RevTrask] Please do
[Doretta78] LOL
[Lori-hobbesaholic] lol hel
[Doretta78] don't make her pat anything!
[Fawkes-fan] LOL
[fawkesielady] lol
[MrsSpooky] Mike, what is your favorite music? What is Eberts' favorite music?
[Jago-ji] maybe hug.....
[MrsSpooky] Yeah, that would not be pretty, for me to pat something
[Fawkes-fan] you never know...
[sahall77] i know what i would like to pat
[Adelheide] OH, I dunno...
[MikeMcCafferty] My music (mike) is either classical or show tunes
[MikeMcCafferty] because it's kind of work and pleasure at the same time
[MikeMcCafferty] as far as Eberts ..
* Nebula wonders if mike can play the infamous "Fur Elise" on the piano ^_~
[MikeMcCafferty] I think head banging music
[Nebula] LOL
[Fawkes-fan] LOL
[fawkesielady] lol
* MrsSpooky wants to see Eberts in a mosh pit. ;D
[quicksilvermad] There's a ska bone in every character!
[sahall77] LOL
[MikeMcCafferty] Sometimes he subs in for Megadeath
[WyldInvisiChyld] Hehe
[sage26] omj...lol!
[Spud] LOL!!! Punk concert hopping with Claire
[GinaS] Heavy Metal Eberts!
[Doretta78] wohoo!
[MrsSpooky] Body surfing over the crowd
[quicksilvermad] SKA!!!!

[quicksilvermad] LOL!
* Helena ponders her Eberts fic...and RATM
* RevTrask argues the case for hymns
[MrsSpooky] Oh yeah
[MikeMcCafferty] yeah, body surfing .. right ...
[WyldInvisiChyld] lol
[fawkesielady] lol
* IvyThePlant is trying to picture Eberts as a Twisted Sister band member...
[Spud] electric blue hair...
[Doretta78] watch for Spooky...she's a patter...lol
[Doretta78] KIDDING!
[sage26] hmm..maybe rapping in front of a mirror in a towel
* Nebula could see hobbes, darien, eberts and claire head banging in the car to "bohemian rhapsody"
[sahall77] that would be a site to see
[quicksilvermad] lol
[MikeMcCafferty] GA
[KatrynSedai] Great story, Mike! Thx for sharing re: Spook :-) .... MalteseHobbes (a/k/a MissingDoor) - you're up :-)
[quicksilvermad] LOL SAGE!!!
[MrsSpooky] A patter and a hugger, muahahahahaaa
[MissingDo] Hi Mike: This is from two brains.. MissingDoor and The MalteseHobbes.. two brains.. one computer...Our question is... which do you prefer? Working on TV or in live theater? Anything planned for live theater during the break?
[MikeMcCafferty] Well .. as a matter of fact
[MikeMcCafferty] I just finished doing a show in Iowa of all places
[MikeMcCafferty] where they don't even get what the Invisible Man
[MikeMcCafferty] at least where I was
* RevTrask envisions Mike doing Kabuki
* GinaS guesses because it's James T. Kirk's home state
[quicksilvermad] GASP...no IMAN???
[MikeMcCafferty] It's in Riverside, too far away!
[I-Mom] Glad I don't live in Iowa!
[Nebula] what show?
[Helena] heheheh
* IvyThePlant is related to iowa...
[sahall77] LOL neb
[Nebula] iowa..music man? =)
[MikeMcCafferty] As far as to which one I prefer .. they are 2 totally different animals
[MikeMcCafferty] I love doing TV and film
[MikeMcCafferty] because of the intimacy .. but I love doing theater because of the immediate feedback you get
[MikeMcCafferty] it's kind of difficult to film something and then forget about it for 3 months to a year and then expect to have any sort of visceral reaction to it
