Dr. Who in the Ozarks
So two separate milestones today with this post.
1. (is the loneliest number thatcha ever do). This is the first post I’ve done using the iPhones native wordpress app. Pretty snazzy.
2. (can be as bad as one; it’s the lonliest number since the number wah-uhnnn) this is the first time I’ve loaded pics from the phone directly into a post.
It came up on one of the threads by NeoSapian that although I live in the middle of nowhere, I have a TARDIS in my town. Granted it is the traditional red, but still.
Why do I have a royal telegraph phone booth in the middle of nowhere, Missouri? The answer is that one of the locals fell in love with a British girl and convinced her to leave. But she wanted to bring a piece of her homeland with her. And thus, the TARDIS in Shell Knob, MO.
Sadly, she passed away late last year from cancer, but her husband still keeps it in front of the shop they had selling wooden furniture and imported British goods.
Ok, I’m a newbie, but I registered just so I could post regarding the Tardis. Although most of the vocabulary used on these pages is a mystery to me, I do love Dr. Who (both the old and the new) and am relieved to know that a Tardis is nearby, even if it is red.
Welcome, wintermole ^_^
Don’t worry, we’re just a conglomeration of people who are enthusiastic about lots of different things; be it videogames to TV shows to movies and music.
NeoSapian and TrialAccess and I’s debate is I prefer the old Dr. Who and can’t really stand the new. They love the new, and so it’s usually a large debate. They were surprised that I posted something about it, because (especially Neo) they think I don’t like the good Doctor at all, which simply isn’t true 😉
Welcome to the site, and don’t be afraid to throw your two cents in, that’s what the site is for; give people a place to be passionate about stuff they like ^_^
OK so I could go on and on about the differences between a British Telephone Booth vs. a police box (which is what form the TARDIS is “stuck” as) but as it is I will restrain myself. Also I remember the discussion about Doctor Who going differently, but let the record show that while I love the Tennant era, I am in fact an old school Who fan. I have a hard time deciding if McCoy or Tennant is my #2 but ol’ Tom Baker is still the king. The Pertwee era had some really good eps too, I just disliked him being stuck on Earth. Davison never stood a chance, Collin Baker was bad with horrible scripts, I’ve not really seen much of Hartnell or #2 whose name currently escapes me. Honestly the Eclison series wasn’t that good either, but it was a good entry point. Now with Mr. Smith being the youngest Doctor ever and looking like they are trying to make the show edgier we will have to see how it goes.
Welcome WM. Please feel free to jump in on anything. Some of us know each other on here, but like Balth/Marksman said, don’t let that stop you from jumping on. We’re a friendly bunch – for the most part 😉
Sweet.
