Hi,

Any chance you have insight on to what the rumors of Steph being currently married to a guy named Curtis Smith are all about?

FWIW, I am NOT a SamCait shipper. At all. Just curious where this rumor is coming from.

Hi, Anon. Nothing to see here. WRONG Steph Bullock. Meaning, there IS a Canadian named Stephanie Bullock who is married to a Canadian hockey player named Curtis Smith. BUT, she's NOT the Steph Bullock who is Sam Heughan's girlfriend.

I'm not going to post their accounts because they don't have any horse in this race. But if you Google Curtis Smith and Stephanie Bullock, you'll see they are married, and she's a lovely brunette...but she's NOT Sam's lovely brunette. Same name, different woman. But, not surprisingly, a few Outlander fans are following her. Hey, dopey dopes, that's not the right Steph Bullock. 😆 Sam's Steph Bullock has a private Instagram account and a different face. 🤦‍♀️ Now you know.

As to how that rumor started, I don't know, but it most likely has to do with SamCait shippers grasping at straws and trying to find anything that will negate the REALITY that Sam and Steph are dating. And that Cait is married to Tony. Thanks for stopping by, Anon.

This is the first edition of the Star Wars Roleplaying Game Sourcebook from West End Games. Written by Bill Slavicsek (who would eventually become WEG’s creative director) and Curtis Smith in 1987, this was pretty much the motherlode of Star Wars material for the period, whether you were into RPGs or not. It marks the first serious attempt to codify the Star Wars universe and is arguably the foundation of the Expanded Universe (some may say that is really the Marvel comic series, but those never felt real to me, at least not in the same way this did – feel free to fight me on that).

What we have here are game stats for stuff you saw in the movies – ships, aliens, blasters, characters and more. This material isn’t just rattled off for readers. Rather, a great deal of work was done to make all of this stuff function as a whole, to make sense as parts of a greater world. If stuff wasn’t shown in the movies but it made sense for inclusion, the writers made it up (luxury space liners!).

The result formed the model for dozens of additional sourcebooks over the next decade, as the Star Wars RPG methodically converted and expanded other Star Wars media into RPG material.

It helps that Slaviscek had access to the Lucasfilm archives. As I tend to mention whenever I talk about the Star Wars RPG, a lot of the material this book contains was simply unavailable elsewhere. Aside of a few children’s books and a series of sketchbooks, stills and production art were hard to come by. Having all these concept illustrations, particularly the McQuarrie stuff, in one place was pure Star Wars fan catnip.

The Nervebreakers, notorious mid/late-`70s Dallas punk band, opening for The Sex Pistols at The Longhorn Ballroom, Dallas, Texas on January 10th, 1978.

A wild rock ’n’ roll performance in a legendary gig, where their guitarist actually slammed his guitar with a dead fish that had been thrown on stage, as documented by Curtis Smith.

“...He landed the band the opening spot for the Ramones first Texas show and , when it was learned that the largely unknown English punk band The Sex Pistols were to include a Dallas show in their six city, whirlwind U.S. tour, Clarke [Blacker] simply called through the red tape to the tour promoters and offered up the Nervebreakers as the perfect opening act.The promoters, not knowing much about either band agreed and the show was set.

When the Nervebreakers arrived at the Longhorn Ballroom, the Pistols were already there along with a small road crew, body guards and a local news crew. Though the Dallas punk scene was only about 100 to 200 strong in toto, they were an enthusiastic bunch and wouldn't miss this.

Sid Vicious and I had a minor altercation over Sid's desire to for my spiked wristband which I offered to trade for Sid's dog collar. Sid said "No , I stole this off a dog.....can't get much lower than that , eh? Stealin' from a dog?" To which I replied "Well was it pregnant? That would be REALLY low..." Sid indicated that he would like to have me kick his skinny British butt by throwing several mock punches in my face while saying "Come on...Come on..." I was about to eagerly oblige when Bob ,whispered to me something to the effect of " It's probably not a good idea to kick the crap out of the lead act before you play." Cooler heads prevailed and the Nervebreakers mounted the stage. During the set, one of the Dot Vaeth Group, another of the great DFW area punk bands threw a freshly thawed fish onto the stage, which I slammed into my guitar for a while before successfully attempting to bite it in half. Photos were taken. The Nervebreakers did a rousing set, ending with Stooges classic" I Wanna Be Your Dog". After that, the other band played for a while. Although the official attendance for the show estimated to be about 250 , subsequent, vividly detailed personal accounts from people claiming to have been there suggest that there must have been at least 5,000 , most of which were under the age of 16 at the time..”
