<br />Never really noticed the accent.  Time to go WIKI and see if she was from NYC.<br /><br />OK here is what WIKI said...(man she spells her name wierd!)<br /><br />Sandahl Bergman (born November 14, 1951) is an American dancer, stuntwoman, and actress who is known for her performances in B-movies in the 1980s and 1990s.<br /><br />Bergman was born in Kansas City, Missouri. She is 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m) tall. Bergman's movie career began in 1978 with a small role in the TV film How to Pick Up Girls. She followed this in 1979 with a noted appearance as a dancer in the Bob Fosse film All That Jazz. In the 1980 movie Xanadu, she appears as a muse during the song "I'm Alive" by ELO. She is the fourth muse, although she is listed as Muse #1 in the movie credits.<br /><br />Bergman's participation in Xanadu also led indirectly to her eviction from her apartment in New York and her subsequent relocation to California. She had been subletting her apartment in New York in defiance of a clause in her agreement with her landlord, and during her four months in California for filming, he became aware of the situation. Bergman says that she never returned to New York, instead having friends pack and ship her clothes to her.[1]<br /><br />Her best-known role was playing Valeria opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1982 film Conan the Barbarian. She won the Golden Globe Award for New Star Of The Year - Actress, the last ever awarded, for her role in the film. She played a different character, Queen Gedren, in another Robert E. Howard film, Red Sonja, in 1985. After that, she appeared in many undistinguished films, such as 1987's Hell Comes to Frogtown. Her most recent work was in 2003, when at the age of 52 she appeared as a dancer in the film version of The Singing Detective.<br /><br />She also appears briefly as a lunar base officer in the movie Airplane II: The Sequel.<br /><br />In total she has appeared in 40 different films and television programs, and has also been active on the stage, appearing in productions of A Chorus Line, among others.<br /><br />

<br /><br />Sorry I missed "Hell Comes to Frogtown".  Sounds memorable. If you happen to see Conan again, check for the accent. I thought that movie was quite well done for one of the first in the genre. The story was simplistic as all the movies have been in the sword and sorcery genre are sad to say (except LOTR), but in Conan, the combat and props were top notch with a level of quality only occasionally reached even to the current time. Shwarzeneggar also had his weight lifting buddy Franco Columbu in there, who didn't speak a word of english but swung a massive hammer.

Sorry - that was Sven Ole Thorsen!  Who was also in Terminator and several other Arnold movies!  Franco was the Barbarian scout at the start of the movie!<br /><br />WIKI: SVEN<br /><br />He is known for his frequent appearances in Arnold Schwarzenegger movies, like Conan the Barbarian, as the hammer-wielding Thorgrim; The Running Man, as the sympathetic bodyguard Sven; and in Predator, where he played a one-second role as a Russian General ('Knock Knock'). Some of his other most memorable characters have varied widely, from the gritty security guard La Fours in Mallrats, to the unbeaten fighting legend Tigris of Gaul in Gladiator, and the witty Lt. Michael 'Tank' Ellis, Ground Assault Unit in Captain Power, to the menacing alien villain Secundus in Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe, who is always hunting for the Anti-Life Equation without any success.<br /><br />Thorsen has appeared in fifteen Arnold Schwarzenegger movies (as of 2006) (twelve as actor, three as stuntman or trainer), making him Schwarzenegger's most frequent collaborator. It began with Conan the Barbarian, when Schwarzenegger brought Thorsen and other of his bodybuilder-friends (like Franco Columbu) with him to shoot the movie. Later, when Thorsen moved to the United States, he met Schwarzenegger again while he was acting in the movie Commando. Thorsen helped with some of the stuntwork in that movie, and quickly found work in many of the subsequent Schwarzenegger films.<br /><br /><br />WIKI Franco:<br /><br />In addition to his athletic accomplishments, Columbu has also made intermittent minor forays into acting. Appearing alongside Arnold in Pumping Iron, he has also appeared in cameo roles in Conan the Barbarian, The Terminator, The Running Man and starred in his own films such as Beretta's Island. He also did TV commercials; most notably, Vitalis ("the pump").<br /><br />In the Arnold Schwarzenegger film Last Action Hero, the words "A Franco Columbu film" appear on the screen at the beginning of Jack Slater IV (a film within the film) as a tribute to Columbu. In the opening scenes of Conan the Barbarian, Columbu plays a 'pictish scout', complete with mustache, wig and blue body-paint. In The Terminator, Columbu plays the infiltrating Terminator in Reese's flashback/dream in which the picture of Sarah Connor is destroyed by fire. The Columbu Terminator also features as a boss character in the Terminator 3 video game.<br /><br />He holds doctorates in chiropractic and nutrition and currently sits on the California Board of Chiropractic Examiners<br />

OK. I guess I have to admit correction. I would have sworn that Columbu was one of the two bodyguards for Thulsa Doom. When Conan attacks that underground temple, spills the pot with the human body parts in it (memorable), and fights the two bodyguards, I thought one of them was Columbu.It sure looked like him.

Sven was very young in that movie...but Frank was not - shall we say....so coordinated for the job.

<br />I'm starting to use a few token bags...just use a sharpie and write on the outside what is inside!<br />

<br /><br />Write - on - token bags??  Gasp!  Permanently deface them???<br />

<br /><br />I went out and bought a bunch of small card-stock paper tags on string and just tied them to the strings on each of my token bags and listed what was inside.  It was easy to read and didn't deface the precious bags!

I suggest that you drill a hole in the bottom of each token, buy a bunch of rolodexes, and then modify them so you can carry your tokens in the rolodexes!<br /><br />Or, better yet, go with someone else who has a lot of tokens, use their tokens, and let them deal with oragnizing them.

:jacked:<br /><br />Well - my lovely 300-chip WPT case arrived and it is absolutely wonderful!  I spent all of Friday night and Saturday morning re-arranging all my treasure tokens ... I have just under 500 tokens altogether and the case holds almost 400 and the rest I keep in plastic sheets (I'm still working on getting some clear packing tape) ... I'm thinking about buying a second case ... but I'm not sure if I have enought to justify it yet ...

<br /><br />You will need a second case once you pre-order a boat-load of 2009 tokens!  Also, you need some place to put all three of your Celestial URs!  =D
