And on that note, a (perhaps silly) question from me: How do you all go about getting hold of the pictures you use?

What Lucise said about Google.  But make sure you click on the "Images" option to get the pictures.  8)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our Fabulous Former Cast Members
They took the part, and for a brief time, made it their own

Ennis, jumping out of truck in Signal - Brandon (who introduced the infamous apple)
Jack - Courtney
Ennis, looking up at Jack from the river, meeting the Basque, chasing the mules, the made-up shooting lesson, finding the bananas, and the first attempt at cooking them - Courtney
e-Bay Trader - ?
Aguirre – David (TheStudDuck)

Xcellent early performances by blades of grass, wind, sheep wrangler, Jack's pants, and the truck driver. Ennis makes his entrance in post #48. Aguirre shows up at pst #67 with a load of friends. Then we see Jack leaving Lightning Flat, with his dad making a few salty comments, his mom silently agonizing. Tootie and Elizabeth find the apple that Ennis tosses, and the grass flips the bird to Ennis. Cassie, Randall, LaShawn and Alma make appearances. The props magician, casting director, Feng Shui director, et. al work tirelessly to populate the set and make Mr. Raymille, the director, comfortable in a lavish tent. Then, in the early 100s, Ennis disappears so everybody works on the set and their tents until Dee steps in at post #165. Thruout, the sheep turn blue, get plastered, and coyotes play leapfrog on them. The sheep trainer takes off, leaving a Mongolian assistant in charge. Pause for scene from West Side Story, with Jack playing Maria (#225). The high priestess adjusts her chi with Heath's help. As the boys head up to the mountain, music from Oklahoma starts (#325), a catered party is thrown, and the director hires Statler and Waldorf as cast psychologists (the crew don't need no shrinks!). The Basque shows up and now everybody can go. The moon and Jack have a love spat, and Jack's lower lip licks itself. Finally at #420, Terry Clothe, aka warshrag appears! Low startle point (LSP) horse and Mika Dumbass Mule cavort and Raymille and FSD feud until about #490 when Courtney steps in as Ennis while Dee parties. At #515 LSP begins its famous twirl. All of a sudden, the Jolly Minister appears and says a benediction. Pause to celebrate Elle's
birthday. Finally, Chris the producer appears to get people back on schedule at #632. At #694 Leslie the blue heeler checks in. On June 26 at 12:03 a.m. (#722), the Basque says "Too early to be sick of beans." Jack and Ennis go to kill an elk or bear, and gather some bananas. Dee reprises her role around #800, and just when it's time for the climactic warshrag scene, Terry Clothe is e-jacked and put up for auction! He escapes to play his big scene, and Ennis warshes until oh about #938. Jack's body butter appears just in time and everybody assembles for the big TS1, when at #1066 the continuity director passes along director's orders to slow down!! Leading to virtuoso performances from the moon, Mika and CB, LSP, Terry and the owls, FSD and High Priestess, and Jack's pants and zipper. Finally at #1185 it gets underway w/o Raymille while Terry and JBB also tangle. Their communion rouses the High Priestess to new heights, the sun and the moon to fuse, and the blue heeler to sing Good Mornin from Singing in the Rain. TS2 happens around #1345 and a coyote finally appears, as well as marketing director Guy Raphaelson, in the early 1400s. About 50 post later, Aguirre spies the happy tussle, and the Owl kidnaps TC again. Lucise and Guy plot to sign marketing agreements with the cast, hailstones fall, leading to TS3 (Yippee!) and the Chileans and gringos sort out the sheep. Owlma checks into the hospitowl and TC and JBB are back together again momentarily until JBB Ends up in Germany somewheres. The entire cast and crew holds a vigil for beloved producer Chris. The wind and snow throw hissy fits. There's a big leaving-the-mountain party. Aguirre blows up and bestows the curse of BrokenArsed on Ennis. Lureen appears at #1882! Ennis and Jack finally part at #1955 and the weddin takes place... Whew! Okay, audience, U have no more excuses. Now back to the theatah!!
