Hello and well met to all of you, I was just thinking the other day about the fact that we got to see a big "goodbye episode" for Sarah (Friendly Fire), yet Kenny disappeared without more than a "Kenny's gone to Australia" in Bad News (and another reference by Spike to the same effect in Love And War). We all get very interested in the Lynda-Sarah friendship, especially in relation to Friendly Fire (and earlier Friends Like These), yet there's no doubt that Kenny was Lynda's best friend (it was always him she went to, and he was always the one who knew when she wasn't coping etc). It's a pity Kenny didn't get a better goodbye. Back when I first saw "Bad News (the first Kenny-less episode) (I was about 15/16 years old) I remember musing about what might have happened - and being relatively happy with the idea that Kenny had left to run his own (Junior Gazette-esqe) paper in Australia - it seemed to be the only good reason for Kenny to leave the JGazette. While I enjoyed Friendly Fire - a story wishing Kenny adieu and seeing how Lynda reacted (especially if it was a "career-defining moment" for Kenny (eg if it was as per my suggestion that he left to edit his own paper)) might have been even better. H H EEE Y Y ! H H E Y Y ! HHHH EEE Y ! H H E Y H H EEE Y ! Here's an idea! What if Kenny's sudden absense was the result of Kenny finally making (proper) contact woth the Irish girl!!! Suddenly, there's someone more important than Lynda in Kenny's life - so when a big opportunity comes up, the nice-guy response is suddenly NOT necessarily to stick with the JGazette. (Kevin, I think I've found my "lost story" to do some FanFic of :)) Oh, one other thing: I saw the movie "The Last Time I Committed Suicide" on Friday night (it has Keanu Reeves in a "central" (but not main) role) - Claire Forlani (who played Colin's love interest (or is it the other way around :)) Judy Wellman, and was one of the central characters in Kevin Smith's film "MallRats") is in the film - looking rather gorgeous I must say (as is the nature of her part) - it's not a bad movie if you want to keep up with the ex-PGers, but I should warn you that if, like me, you can be pained by someone doing something incredibly stupid (as far as there own best interests), then it may be a bit much for you in the final twenty minutes (I was screaming on the inside while watching the end). Murray, who doesn't believe a Volvo can save your soul (sorry, I've got the TV on in the background :)) PS - Are there a lot of "South Park" fans on the list? ___________________________________________________________________ Murray Head "The only way to atone for being occasionally muzza@omen.net.au a little overdressed is by being always http://www.omen.net.au/~muzza/ absolutely overeducated." - Oscar mhead@anhb.uwa.edu.au (Anatomy and Human Biology, UWA) Wilde -- T H E P R E S S G A N G M A I L I N G L I S T By default, pressing 'reply' will send mail back to the list, not to the author of the message you're replying to.
