Of the many things that puzzle me concerning language use on RADW, one of the strangest is the American use of the word 'sucks', as in: 'Hey man, that dorky Pertwee story really sucked, you dig?'
Why should a bad thing 'suck'?
I mean, I understand the image we're being asked to call up here, but surely that's a very pleasant thing? Could we perhaps say, 'oh, that Eric Saward story really caressed', or 'The Time Monster really passionately kisses big time'?

No, no, no. I just watched this last night, and it's obvious that what she really says is "Even the silent ships of the Tootie could be heard while they were still a million miles distant." I'm using the line as the takeoff point for my NA submission, which is a crossover and features the cast of "The facts of Life" coming aboard the TARDIS as companions. Then Tootie gets captured and cloned, and the TARDIS crew is menaced by a silent gas dirigible (with "Goodyear" written across the side in big letters), filled with thousands of grim-faced Tooties on roller skates.
Luckily (spoiler warning!) Jo saves the day by cobbling together a small de-cloning mechanism with the Doctor's umbrella, some interstellar matter and a few parts from her motorcycle. At the end of the show she elopes with MacGyver and the Doctor maroons Blair on Solos, where she mutates into something unspeakably hideous.
It's a good read. Watch for it.

I was bored at a convention, so I went over to a DWAS stall and joined. Now I feel really bad about it, like one does after a particularly degrading sexual experience. I read my free issue of Celestial Toyroom (I'd hardly call it 'complementary'), and it had this editorial about how the New Adventures had caused the cancellation of the society's own fictionzine and the destruction of the ozone layer, and complained that NA writers were sneaking around to DWAS exec members' houses and scaring their kids by putting their noses up to the window. And I'm going to get this through my letterbox, 12 times a year.
To make it worse, their president is Jon bloody Pertwee.
No, make that *my* president! In some small way, Pertwee is now *in charge of me!*
Did nobody even *ask* Lalla Ward if she wanted to do it? Wasn't Peter Jeffrey free? When was the election for this post, exactly?
The DWAS sent me, as part of my membership pack, a letter from Jon Pertwee. I swiftly wrote him a letter back,but fortunately my legal advisor tore it from my grasp and ran off down the street with it, shouting: 'you'll thank me later!'
Well, thank you Adrian, you were right as always.
I shall let you know more when I recieve my first proper issue of 'Celestial Toyroom'. In the meantime, if you'd like to start a campaign to make someone else, *anyone* else, president of the DWAS, please let me know.

EVERYTHING? Instructional films in Japanese? Old Kinescopes of live soap operas? Phil Donahue re-runs?
Good God, man! Nobody could compile a list like that! And besides, it's off-topic! Why don't you settle for a listing of all the Doctor Who material that's available on video?

Oh yes we are everywhere.
At the grocery store check - we're the ones who go into the "8 items or less" line with 12 items.
At the malls - we're the ones who get off the escalators and remain standing in front of them. (Also with elevators)
At the airports - we're the ones who wear our lead lined undies when we go through the airport security check points.
One the freeways - we're the ones who keep one turn signal on for over 50 miles.
In the books stores - we're the ones who come in and read the entire book in the store, usually sitting in the middle of the aisle.
At the post offices - we're the ones who get in line with 20 packages for overseas destinations, and not enough cash to cover the cost of them all.
In restaurants - we're the ones who ask to get moved to another table, demand a completely new set of silverware and then just order coffee.
Yes, we are everywhere, we know everything, we control everyone - we are the Whovians!
BWAAAhhhaaaaahaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Hmm ... well, I know there's a version of the Davros figure from "Remembrance" that was planned by Dapol, but because of an impending lawsuit from Ban Corporation, they had to abandon that product line.
Then, of course, three months later, Ban released the Roll-On Dalek, and alien species everywhere feared for their armpits.

[Upon seeing a posting with the subject line "Regarding Jill"]
I must admit something...
When I saw this topic thread's latest name, my first thought was that I was going to read a post that went something like this.
=== Yes! It's that fabulous new movie... REGARDING JILL!
Jill Deel is a scourge of rec.arts.drwho, known for her incredible off-topic postings and failure to keep a firm grip on reality as she kill-files those who disagree with her, selectively snips posts to twist posts, and all-in-all has so many people hating her guts that entire threads revolve around her! (Except Jason who loves her.) Then, while out late one night getting Power Ranger tickets, Jill is clocked in the head with the "Trial of a Time Lord" video tape collection and falls into a deep coma for two weeks. When she awakens, all her memory is gone!
WATCH!... as Jill tries to learn how to use the Usenet posting program again!
GASP!...as Jill reads her old posts and doesn't like them!
SCREAM!...as Jill sends flowers to everyone she's killfiled!
CRY!...as Jill decides to devote her life to small fuzzy animals!
It's... REGARDING JILL! Starring Harrison Ford's sister, Bridge Ford! Coming soon to a theatre near you!
