One of the (few?) good things about being single (again)...

I bought an autographed VDO pic that I've yet to frame, and no one in my household complained.

(The only others in my household are my dogg and catt :-)...




spook

how can you possibly get Vincen't D'Onofrio or Vince D'Onofrio out of that scribble? I'm going to have to play with it on my photo editer

That is because we are Internet Superheroes in the making. Good on them!






Yeah... Rule 51 - The Captain always wants you to "Step into them." If kids are involved: "Step into them HARD."




Rule 44 - The Goren Lean. It's a rule now.




Rule 19 - The uniform officers will always show up just to take the perps away.

On the eBay thing: I don't enough money to hear about these things... Oh darn I saw the blue shirt... eep...

If we add in some of the ones that have been under discussion we have... alot. Persistance is key! However we don't have to finish it all right now, we can keep some slots open for future rules. Also I agree we need more Wheeler rules.

I bet Bobby could make a fortune selling all the tie clips! LOL! k

Has anyone noticed that the unis seem to appear as if from nowhere? My husband and I laugh about that all the time.

Ok. I tried. Not possible.


Janx-When are youg oing to updte the list on the front page?

I was waiting to see how some the discussions turned out before I updated. I didn't want anyone thinking that was being arbitrary. I wanted everyone to know that I do read all the suggestions, and that the rules were open to discussion.

Since some of them have been up for a few days without comment or objection, I'm going to update those to the front list.

I researched a lot of VDO autographs before I got this one. Usually you can kinda see a "V", and the rest is illegible. :-)

And if I got snookered? It's still a damned fine photo. ;-)))

Not that I don't already have a zillion of those on my hard drive. ;-P

spook

Yeah, I can definitely see a v. maybe an f. but not cohesive enough.

ok, here's a few more---but there are Goren based:

Rule# ___ All deadbeat dads get tossed around by Bobby
Rule# ___ The more impossible the pattern, the more likely for Goren to spot it.

I'm green with envy right now. . . . . . . . . . .

Those are great rules, TennCIFan! And I haven't seen those thoughts expressed yet on this thread.


spook

Ok I updated the front page with the older propostions. The new ones are still up for discussion so they aren't on there yet. If there's no objection in the next couple of days, I'll update those to the front as well.

We need:

Non-Goren character rules
Fan rules!

Come on guys we're almost there. 55 after today's additions!

Example of Fan rules? What do you mean.

Like
Rule# You are not considered a Die Hard CI( or CI-Phile) fan until you have all episodes on DVD, on your DVR and Still rush home to watch it when its on TV.

PERFECT!

Rule 37 - You aren't considered a True CI fan until you have all episodes on DVD, on your DVR, and still rush home to watch it on TV.

Did we ever agree on a Rule 34?

Also from the Caption It thread

Rule 69 - VDO is always capable of looking hotter than you think he could.


In other news: 400 posts! I ranked up! New rank - Addict

Rule# ___ Per ADA Carver, juries like nice straight lines and graphics!

Rule#. Your a Goren fanatic if you have tried the Goren Lean when interogating your children.
Rule# Your an Eames Fanatic if your gone to the hairdresser and said, give me the "Eames" and expect her to know what your talking about.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm... NON-Goren rules or fan rules...

How about: True CI-Philes watch Logan eps too, because: 1) it's good for ratings and 2) they wanna see previews for the next Goren ep.


Oops! Well, I tried! ;-)))))


spook

Hilarious.

Thought that I would propose it again.

I like that one, *jc. ;-))


spook

Rule 46 - Juries like nice straight lines & graphics!




Rule 39 - If you've gone to your stylist and said "Give me an 'Eames'" & expect them to know what you're talking about, you're a CI Fanatic.

Rule 47 - If you've tried The Goren Lean when interogating someone yourself, you're a CI fanatic.




Rule 38 - Real CI Fans watch Logan episodes too.

A few that popped into my head in another thread:

Rule 26 - BING! Reality!

Rule 46 - Pancakes are always on the menu.

Rule 12 - LOCI is educational! Did you know sharks don't have scales?

Rule 23 - Logan doesn't swing that way.

Ok I just had a inspiration burst, so feel free to disagree. I'm leaving work now, so I'll be back in a bit.

Hey you took the real meaning out of "my" rule 38, HAHAHAHA! I like it.

The rest look great, too, but I must have missed the pancake references. ;-))


spook

There are so many, what goes where and how it fits in? K

or 46- There is always time for pancakes or a donut run.

I like this one a lot.

How about something to do with photographs - either cute ones of family or kids which Goren picks up and pretends to admire whilst wheedling information out of unsuspecting individuals, or ghastly gory scene-of-crime or morgue portraits that he uses, willy nilly, to freak suspects out totally?

Rule # 37 - No photograph is safe, in Goren's hands. (Or something.)

and on the subject of hands -

Rume # 36 - If things are going badly, slap the interrogation room table. Hard. No, harder!

how about a rule about the bald detective who is always in the background.

something like rule#__ - the bald detective must always be walking around the squad room or rule#___ - spot the bald detective, the ultimate law and order ci game

Rich is the Bald guy. I think in Masquerade Ross called him by name to call Faith Yancy, and I think last night when aresting the PI, Logan called him by name.

I like it!



If you let the detectives get inside, your personal effects are open to police scrutiny.

Oh I like your 36. Alot.



Spotting Rich, the bald detective, is an offical LOCI game.

From JC (since I forgot to hit the quote button):
"Rule_: Only M.E. Rodgers can address Capitain Ross as 'Captain my Captain.'"

I like that too. I'll get a number for it in a minute.

Will updating the font page with the Friday ones later today if there are no objections.

We're getting close to finished here! YAY!

Took me a while but I finally finished Rule 20:

awsome!

If it is ok, I have snagged this pic looks cool

Watched last weeks epi again, and logan actually called him Richie, so that must be his full name, I am surprised on IMDB he isn't listed, for all the times he has been on CI. But then again, he has never spoken, They need to give him a line or at least a word, He could say, Ok Logan or Ok captain.

That's fine! Just don't claim it as yours .

Defender: You win.

Ok if you're wondering why I haven't updated the front page yet, take a look at my animation on the strike thread. I will be sorting and numbering as I eat, then updating shortly.

Thanks for all the help guys this has been so much fun.

Remember: There are numbers after 79 so we can keep adding to the list as things come up.

Running to get my lunch now!

OK everyone. Updates are up! Here's what was added:

12 - LOCI is educational! Did you know sharks don't have scales?
19 - The uniform officers will always show up just to take the perps away.
23 - Logan doesn't swing that way.
24 - Rich-spotting. Official game of LOCI watchers. (The bald detective)
26 - If things are going badly, slap the interrogation room table. Hard. No, harder!
37 - You aren't considered a True CI fan until you have all episodes on DVD, on your DVR, and still rush home to watch it on TV.
38 - Real CI Fans watch Logan episodes too.
39 - If you've gone to your stylist and said "Give me an 'Eames'" & expect them to know what you're talking about, you're a CI Fanatic.
41 - There is always time for pancakes. Or donuts are fine too.
43 - Only M.E. Rodgers can address Capitain Ross as 'Captain my Captain.'"
44 - The Goren Lean. It's a rule.
46 - Juries like nice straight lines & graphics!
47 - If you've tried The Goren Lean when interogating someone yourself, you're a CI fanatic.
51 - The Captain always wants you to Step into them. If kids are involved: Step into them HARD.
59 - If you let the detectives get inside, your personal effects are open to police scrutiny.
69 - VDO is always capable of looking hotter than you thought he could.

Only SEVEN more to go! If you've been saving any, now's the time!

Fan-rules and non-Goren rules encouraged please!

Aw, I *try* to come up with *non*-Goren rules... but it's so hard! ;-PP

Thank you for all your hard work on the rules, Janx!


spook

I know it's difficult, but keep trying!

It's thanks to EVERYONE that contributed that this happened. There is NO way I could have done it all alone.

R#_ If you think it's original LOCI-fanfic, it isn't. It's been done.

R#_ It isn't adultry to fantasize of Vincent or Kathryn. It's a God-given right.

R#_ Rules are meant to be bent or broken; except these.

21 - There is no chance your great fanfic idea has NOT been done before. Probably more than once.

54 - It isn't adultery to fantasize about your favorite LOCI cast member. It's a God-given Right.

65 - Rules are meant to be broken. Except these.

# one eyebrow must be slightly raised during any intense moment (for it's seductive value of course)

love that one, the adulty one, my husband would disagree on that one, lol

Rule__: Healthy skepticism: Carver's favorite passtime.

Rule__: Don't believe everything you read in fanfiction.

Rule__: The circumstances surrounding Barek's depauture will never be explained, except in fanfiction, and it will always have something to do with her being in love with Logan.

I like that one JC!

Ok with these last few we're pretty much done. However, there's a snag.

We have 1, 34, & 42 left to fill in. These are the special numbers and so can't be filled in by just anything.

1 of course is #1.

34 was proposed before as a "character exsists, there's smutfic." type rule.

And of course the answer to ultimate question of Life, The Universe, & Everything is 42.

Ideas?

All the good ones that don't make it into these slots will be added to the end of the list, so don't worry about that.

What's the significance of 42. I think that i missed that somewhere.

I think #1. should be Goren and Eames with always be the ATeam or #1 team. No other team will be before them.( ok a knock off of the first commandment. Please forgive me God).

All the gods are LOCI fans. Bast, God, Vishnu, Thor, Amaterasu, whatever name they're called, they're always tuned in on Thursday night.

I think Rule 1 should apply to both teams. Like: Great show or greatest show?
That's actually really lame and I would never use it for real, but it's the only example I could think of at the moment.
