First off, congrats to all of you who made the TGS staff! 'Welcome aboard, skipper!' You'll all have fun, trust me :)
'Howdy, howdy, howdy', everybody! (I'm getting over something and I got back online Friday, so I'm still getting back into the swing of things :) ). I'll never touch a pizza again. I had some for dinner Monday night and was ill all week. Odd not being online for a week when you've been on every day for so long!
I'm glad to see you guys enjoyed 'Triangles' :) Though I have to admit I can't see Griff and Arthur running away from bunnies ("Run away! Run away!")
And ditto on the "oral sex" quote from Christine :) You could make a spoof out of that, Christine (Arthur's gonna get a run for his money :D)
Ed< I looked up some British and found "maths" as a term for "math". Yep, it was conscious :) (Did I spell 'conscious', right? *shrugs*)
Personally, Triangles was the hardest for me. It was easy enough to say that "Will runs away from home because of conflicts with his da", but I wasn't sure why, how, or even how his relationship with the minions would be (i.e. how would they treat him). If it didn't sound right, it wouldn't be realistic, and people would be wondering why the heck this kid would run away "because this doesn't sound like something a real teenager would do/there's no reason to, ect." Every once in a while I'd get tied in a knot, but eventually something would click, and I'd quickly jot it down before I forgot. My main goal was that everyone would read this and identify with the characters and their problems, and I was wondering for a long time how to pull that off.
Oh, and BTW, Emrys is my favorite character, too, Ed :) (him and Riggs; I always found the relationship b/w him and his brother intriguing). It's bad enough to go through adolescence once in your life; to go through it again must make him want to pop a pill sometimes :D
Norman< I always liked Norman. Rahsaan (I spelled the name right, Rahsaan. Yay! Took me long enough :) ) did most if not all of Norman's scenes. I always liked the big guy because he's got that tough guy exterior, but always has a quippe, plus he's kinda soft underneath :) As David would say, Rahsaan, "Excellent".
Lucius' scrolls< I don't believe they have any magical powers, if that what you meant (I'm sorry, so many people in here now, it's hard to keep track who asked this :) )
X-Files/Robby< I LOVED the earlier episodes of the X-Files, but I'm not around as much to watch it this season. I watched that ep (first or second one of this season, actually). You know, the one where Mulder and Scully are on this ship in some Bermuda-Triangle-like place, a ship that disappeared during World War II? I didn't get that ep. Did you understand it? Anyone? If so, can you tell me about it? I didn't understand what the heck was going on.
I agree with the Mulder/Scully switching roles as believer/skeptic. I never liked that. It took a bit of the flavor out of the plots. But that's just my opinion.
Sevarius Jr.< Another Dennis Miller fan! :) Maybe you can figure this question out, one that I've had for a while. Okay ... if it's called "Dennis Miller LIVE", WHY do the words "previously recorded" always appear on the screen at the beginning of each show? It's sort of like "Why do Kamakazi pilots wear helmets?" :)
Deuce< <<When Emrys' pen exploded in his mouth, I had a flashback to last week,
when I learned that sucking on a ballpoint gives you a sour taste in
your mouth... and blue teeth. >>
*LOL* That's where that part actually came from! (only it happened in the middle of my Lit class right when I was reading a piece to the class; oopsie :) ) Ace!
Favorite quotes< Hey, what the heck :) "When in Rome ..."
*Austin grabs Scott Evil and holds him at gun-point* "The tables have turned again, Dr. Evil."
"That's alright. Kill the little bastard, see what I care."
"But Dad, we just had a break-through in group!"
"I had the group liquidated, you little sh--! They were insolent."
"I hate you! I hate you! I wish I was never artificially created in a lab!" *running off*
"Oh, Scott, it hurts Daddy when you say that, really!"
-- Austin Powers (scariest part is that I remembered that off the top of my head :) )
Jeb< I loved all your MiB quotes!! That's one of Will Smith's best movies (ditto for Tommy Lee Jones, though I think he did a great job at Two Face in "Batman Forever", too)
"What are you doing tonight?"
"Same thing we do everynight, Pinky."
"What?"
"Forget it."
--- The New Adventures of Batman and Superman
To whomever wrote the "Newt" quote from Monty Python, I loved that one, too :)
"Look at me, everybody! I'm a cowboy! Howdy, howdy, howdy!"
---"The Far Side" (from a vulture donning a dinner's coat and cowboy hat)
"The problem with believing in religion is that some people never get incinerated by lightening."
---Calvin and Hobbes
"Vigo the Carpathian. Born 1505. Died 1610."
"105 years old, he hung in there, didn't he?"
"He didn't die of old age, either. He was poisoned, stabbed,
shot, hung, steretched, diesemboweled, drawn and quartered."
"Ouch."
---Ghostbusters II
"Being miserable and treating other people like dirt is every New Yorker's God-given right."
---Ghostbusters II
"Mommy's very angry"
---The Lost World
"Must go faster."
---Jurassic Park (as well as "Brief Encounters":) )
"His name is Oscar."
"Named after a hot dog, you poor man."
"Never insult dragons, for yee are crunchy and good with ketchup" ---Rahsaan, I believe (he's the dragon fan :) ) or maybe Todd. I can't remember, it's been so long.
"Get a Higher Education; learn to fly"
---don't ask :)
"I will take these cotton balls from you, and put them in my pocket"
"Uh, yeah, whatever"
and:
"I can see!" *Blinkin crashes into a tree* "Nope, never mind" --- Robin Hood: Men in Tights
Ironwolf< Heh, I quote Scott Adams ("Dilbert") when I say, "It's men who have to ask women out, and it's the women who get to crush men's fragile egos like fudgesicles on a Los Angelos freeway". :) I think Emrys is cute. A little stubborn sometimes, but an interesting little guy :) I wonder if, when he hits high school, how he'll treat any upperclassmen who try to beat him up ("Cavall! Sic 'em!")
I better get moving. I've been gone so long, I've got stuff to catch up on. Yikes, I don't know if I've said I hope everyone had a Happy New Years, yet. Happy Belated New Years :) (See? Told'ja it's been chaotic :) ).
Have a good one, y'all :)

Robby : As you can see that was one of my favourite episodes as well , quite possibly my absolute favourite . Last time I felt that particular tingle was in primes final battle before his death .
Rachel : Welcome to the facility , as you can see , the walls are thoroughly padded . There is a pschiatrist on hand , and the Chloroform , Cianide , Morphine and smelling salts are in the cabinet on the wall .

BATMAN BEYOND > Not bad. Not bad at all. A decent (if predictable) storyline, similar animation to TAS, a kick-ass new batsuit, and some new blood for the title character. It'll be interesting to see the new Batman have to deal with *real* problems (like school, girls, jocks, etc) instead of struggling to maintain a millionaire playboy image :) Terry reminded me a LOT of David from "Invasion: America," in looks, voice, and attitude, while the show itself was reminiscent of Marvel Comics' "2099" series that ran a few years back. Hopefully BB will run a little longer than that bomb. I agree with SJ about the rocket boots and the flying thing, but I think they were going for a more streamlined look for the new batsuit. I miss that grappling hook :) I also think the show might do better on prime-time, because the new series seems to be more mature in its handling of death. Besides, it would be tons better than the garbage WB has filling most of its weeknights (easy, Buffy fans, I didn't mean that night :). BBL.

Rachel> Welcome and enjoy what your love for Gargoyles can bring! It certainly has made my life more interesting :)
Congrats to all who made it to the new staff. I have the pleasure to personally know celebrities now, at least you are to me.
I got this from a play:
"Well, I'm a...a...a missionary, that's it, a missionary!"
"Really? Where from?"
"In China. Way way way out in China."
"I've lived in China for years!"
"Oh, you have, have you? Well, see, I wasn't exactly in China. I was in...in.."
"Oh, I know. You were in IndoChina."

[The Dark Star fleet is making short work of Jerec's interdictors. Since the Eclipse-class ships' superlasers don't have to fire at full power to destroy interdictors, they can destroy one every few minutes with little recharge time. Soon, the interdictors are gone and the Dark Star fleet escapes.]

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL NEW MEMBERS OF THE TGS STAFF!!! Heh, maybe it's for the best that I didn't meet the requirements. I probably couldn't resist having a certain stunningly good-looking dark blue garg and his mysterious assistant do a cameo. :)

Uh...*wow*. You killed off most or all of: the London Clan, the Ishimura Clan, and the Guatemala clan. Along with possibly the present versions of Brook and Sata. WOW. I like when a writer isn't afraid to kill people. (I think I just described "The Shining".)

"I don't believe this. What is it with this place? I mean, last week someone tries to assassinate Sheridan, and now someone tries to poison Londo. My God! What is wrong with you people? Don't you have anything else better to do? Why don't you get a hobby? Read a book or something?"
~Vir Coto
"These are my wives: Famine, Pestilence, and Death. Having a picture of them here inspires me. Knowing they're waiting for me back home keeps me here on Babylon 5."

*****SPOILERS: BATMAN BEYOND*****
Be warned, this is pretty long. Hey, I'm passionate about the Bat!
Overall, I'd say the show was promising. It was pretty good...but I'm not ready to totally sign over my loyalty just yet. I've got some complaints, but also some praises.
The Bad: First off, what the hell was up with the architecture? I know, I know, City of the Future and all that crap, but Gotham has always been dark and Gothic. Creepy. Also kinda some old time 30's-40's arch in there as well. The new Gotham just didn't look right, Bladerunneresque landscaping aside.
Next is the new Batsuit. It looks...well, I think it's butt-ugly. They need to redesign the thing, pronto. Also, it does to much! Bruce didn't need rocket boots to kick ass. I know--it's the future, bad guys are toughter, yadda, yadda yadda. Just please get rid of the rocket boots?
Then there's the villains.....so far, for a series with supposedly all original villains, it doesn't have any. Powers was a definite Lex Luthor rip-off (only with Lex's charisma) and the Joker gang, while interesting, comes straight out of the anime "Akira" (Jokers = Clown Gang). I must admit though--Powers transforming into a Dr.Phosphorus/Corrosive Man type creature was pretty cool.
Finally, I have one last concern. I wonder if this show will remain urban. Batman, despite the "World's Greatest Detective" moniker, works best at home, fighting urban battles. I'd like to see more focus on the new Batman's noirish presence in the city (for example, like "It's Never Too Late" and "I Am the Night" and "P.O.V." from TAS).
The Good: Bruce Wayne still kicks ass! It's good to see him still around, even if he's a bit more of an old fart. Plus, I'd love to find out what happened with Robin and Nightwing....you know some bad s*** must have taken place. There's a back story waiting to be told.
While it's different than TAS, I do like the new feel for the show. It's taking some elements from anime and manga, which is always a plus.
As for the new Bats, Terry....well, he seems okay. It'll take a while to accept someone else in the role, but I think he'll work out. There looks like there'll be good chemistry between Terry and Bruce too. Plus, I love Ace the Bat Hound!!!
Overall, it was a good show. Only time will tell if it keeps up to par (I mean, with TAS, it's got some pretty big shows to fill). I'm just begging you--please, NO SUPERMAN CROSSOVERS. I don't wanna see the Boy Scout showing up anytime soon in Gotham....
***END BATMAN BEYOND SPOILERS*****
WNBA: Shouldn't that be the LNBA? Think about that for a minute, you'll get it. Then you can flame me. ;]
Ravyn: I hate to tell you this....but there's a rumor that Shawn Michaels may never wrestle again.....get the Kleenex out...
Football: Well, the RedSkins got sold today. I swear, if they move the team, I will go on a murderous rampage.
Quotes: Just a couple more.

Greetings
Batman Beyond: Undoutably the best thing I've seen since the begining of the Christmas repeats. I haven't thought that much of the old Batman's episodes since it went to the WB, but this seems to have something it was missing before. I wonder if it's apropreate for little kids though. If furure eps are anything like this one I think it would be better suited for prime time like Invation America.
If the new comimmisioner is Barbra, then I wonder what happened to her. They said the police were real coozy with the villian (I forget his name).

Batman Beyond- "We're the jokers!" "Sure you are." Good premiere. Nice dialouge, decent animation though I could ask for better... No dopey sidekicks at this point... Show looks like it has what it takes to be good,including a costume that seems inspired by Lex. Kinda has a few Akira elements, the bike scene was something not usually done in Batman, but it HAS been done... (Batman: Subzero) The show has potential, but I'm a little worried it'll just be a copy of the original, with a couple new characters. I'll wait and see a little longer before I dub the show good, a ripoff, or whatever... So far though... Excellent.
Geez, this has been a GOOD weekend for me. Four new comics at my store, I finish my English project well ahead of time, got to spend a lot of time with Heather, taped an episode of Xena I've been meaning to tape, (The Bitter Suite), got into the TGS staff, got a nice new animated premiere, got a bunch of writing done... Only one thing would top it off... **Runs out real quickly, and comes back lugging Mr. Carter.** "Oh Kenny..."
Hmm... Fun Beastwars scene between Black Arachnia and Silverbolt I'm about to quote...
"Get a clue you canine cretin! I'm EVIL!... I'll shoot you!"
"My heart tells me you will not."
"Oh yeah?" *ka-chink!*
"You... SHOT me!"
"No duh dog boy. I'm EVIL... Now do you believe me?"
"And yet... You insured the wound would not be mortal! Your inner maximal goodness prevented..."
"Shut up, SHUT UP!"
"I know how you're feeling. You don't know whether to kiss me... Or kill me."
"I'm a black widow spider you idiot! I can do both."
"Oh no, you're not saving my life again? Even after I shot you?"
"It's my duty mam. As a maximal. ... And as a heroic character."
"You know I like 'em big and stupid, but you're really pushing it."
Hmm, thats about it for now... The room will be cleared in a bit and a the new story will go up, I'll say something practical then... In the meantime...

BATMAN BEYOND - I also saw it, and rather liked it. A particularly good touch was the bit at the beginning explaining why Bruce Wayne quit being Batman; having him pick up and get ready to use a gun and then suddenly realize in horror what he was doing was a very believable means of arranging this, in view of his traditional dislike of guns. And Derek Powers' transformation at the end was a chilling one.
I also got a bit of a smile out of the revelation of who the current Police Commissioner is in the Gotham City of the future.

I just finished watching Batman Beyond, and I must say it was pretty good. A lot better than I expected. Bruce Wayne was actually more interesting in this than in most of the episodes of the current episodes of Batman. Derek Powers seems like a cool villain (still corporate villain is still Xanatos), much cooler than Lex Luthor on Superman(I don't really like Superman). And I couldn't the image of a Pack Gang out of my head while watching it (thanks for the image Todd), but would like to see more of the Jokers (they remind me of the Minions a bit). One character I hope to see on this show is Ras'al'Ghul(Sp?), he could still be alive thanks to his Lazarus Pit. On the whole, it seems like a good show.

**RP!**
Kitainia and the others are battling the Borg, now trying to dodge shots from Gubio's out-of-control Mech as well. Lathrop quickly imprisions that latter in a prismatic forcefield so that its lasers and missiles can't worry everyone (at least until after the other enemies are beaten). Kitainia breathes a sigh of relief and turns back to the two Borg attacking her, which happen to be the Andersons. "Now see here, winged lady," Mr. Anderson says, trying to snag her with an assimilation tentacle, "I am a veteran of two foriegn wars, and a souped-up Borg. There is no way your team can beat me." "Want to bet?" Kitainia asks. Then she plugs his mouth with a grenade, pulls the pin, then shoves him away. Anderson screams as he explodes, his wife wailing "Tom!" Kitainia quickly turns her laser up to its highest frequency and zaps her dead as well. Then, seeing the rest of the Borg are in full retreat, she turns to face the Comment Room.
**END RP 1ST HALF**
Sorry I haven't posted in here in a while, been real busy with work. Hopefully I can still make some interesting comments.
Basketball Situation: I completely agree that professional basketball is terrible and stupid, like most of its players. The game of basketball, though, is a lot of fun to play and should not be condemned just because of the debacle its professional league has gotten itself into. That's all I'll say about that, except that I too definitely like the WNBA better than the NBA. I've also met Cynthia Cooper, she was one of the ones who helped nurture my love for basketball. (I think I've told everyone already that I used to be on my high school's team.) Yes, she was a very personable woman, but then female athletes are usually nicer than the male ones. At least, all the ones I've met have been. Okay, next topic!
Theresa: Sorry I mistook the artwork for yours, you're the only Theresa I know. Oh well, I'm sure you can still make great artwork.
Steve Gooch: $ Thanks for telling me what KATN means, you're welcome to come do that anytime we get in a fight in the RP. $
Fairy Tale Rewrites: Glad you got that assignment done, Robby. Good luck getting a good grade on it. You must have a fun high school English class, I never got to do anything like that.
Coffee: I know a lot of people think it tastes terrible, but I really like it. I'm so addicted I can't get through the day without at least one cup. Yes, it's pathetic, I know. :)
Fleur: What a despicable character you encountered. He'd definitely fit right in with the FE. Glad we were able to help you take him out. <grin>
Christine: Thanks for telling us about the Nut People, it really made me laugh. Come on, good art is nothing of which to be ashamed. You have to do more, especially the "Defenders of the Nut." I can hardly wait to see them.
Coyote: Good new story you did, though I felt sad to see the deaths of so many good characters. Hopefully the clan will pay the Rokkans back for that bigtime in WCC. And if not, I will!
Congrats to Coyote, Robby, Durid, Deuce, Ordell, Shauntell, Kyryn, Mandi, and everyone else who's made the TGS Staff. You guys deserve it!
Teasers: Really, people, you keep doing those, and I'll have to hurt you. Just kidding.
Another secret from Doug's Fanfic Universe: Laura James used to babysit Bart Simpson, her mother Ruth Powers is still on the show. (This might not be true, but Doug tells me that babysitter did help inspire Laura's name, looks, and personality.)
Quotes: I have some good ones I like, too. Most have already been said, but let me list the ones that haven't.
"I find your lack of faith disturbing." - Darth Vader, Star Wars.
"Be so subtle you are invisible, so mysterious you are intangible, then you will control your rival's fate." - Sun Tzu.
"May you live in interesting times." - ancient Chinese curse that always seems to work on people.
"He has 152 felony indictments." "No, it's 152 insights into my soul." "Ack, can't compete with that one." - Joe and Kathleen, You've Got Mail.
"What they gonna do, kill me? Everybody dies!" - forget where that came from.
"Do you hear voices?" "Yes, I'm hearing one right now." "Okay. Do you anger easily?" "Bart, shut up!" "Okay, yes!" - Bart and Homer taking an insanity test, the Simpsons.
"You know, Bart, some religions say you aren't born with a soul, that you have to earn one with prayer, suffering, and remorse. Like you did last night." - Lisa, the Simpsons.
"Unlike most of you, I am not a nut." - Homer, the Simpsons.
"When it comes to compliments, women are ravenous, blooduscking monsters, always wanting more, more, more! And if you give it to them, you'll get back plenty in return." - also Homer.
"Tell the boss I'm going to the backseat of my car with the woman I love, and I won't be back for ten minutes!" - Homer again.
"Remove the stone of humiliation!!" "Yes!" "Attach the stone of triumph!!" "Doh!" - Number One and Homer, the Simpsons.
"Homer, on your way out, if you want to kill somebody, it would help me a lot." - Hank Scorpio.
"When you have reached the end of all the light that you know, and you must step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen: either you will have something solid to stand on or you will learn how to fly. - don't know who said this.
"I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone." - Bill Cosby.
"The hope of peace is in the unity of variety. Each person their own person but all men for each other." - John Conway.
"Fools float through life, but wise men set sail." - Tim Guidroz.
"The most devestating thing to the human spirit is a secure future." - Unknown.
"Overheard conversations and intercepted letters are the most interesting." - Talus Yor.
"Life is simple. Death is simple. Living is the difficult part." - Also Talus Yor.
"Come with me if you want to live." - Kyle Reese, The Terminator.
"Cat Hair!! Cat Hair for everyone!! Cat Hair!! Cat Hair!!" - Garfield, as he sheds.
"The problem with the future is it keeps turning into the present." - Calvin and Hobbes.
"Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us." - also Calvin and Hobbes.
"Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most." - Dan Quayle (I think).
"Smart lad! Been visiting our website, have you?" - Head Lepruchan, tonight's episode of Honey I Shrunk the Kids.
"I can kill you anytime I please. But not today." - CSM.
And finally one from Gargoyles:
"The access code is alone."
Okay, that's all I had to say. Be back after the new episode is posted. Later!
**MORE RP**
The good guys chase the evil Borgified Beavis and Butthead characters across the Plaza, only to have them escape through one of Guod's instant portals. "Darn it!" Doug sighs. "We almost had those guys!" "Oh well," Kitainia sighs. "We do currently have larger problems." She points to the prismatic sphere that contains Gubio's Mech, which is still pulsating with Tyl-controlled laser and missile blasts. Doug nods. "Gubio! Can you stop it?" "I'm trying!" the hacker shouts back, trying to shut the Mech down and/or expel Tyl's control with his laptop. Apparently nothing is working. Then there is suddenly a huge explosion from inside the sphere. "Gubio!" everyone shouts, and Lathrop quickly dispels the sphere, revealing that Gubio's Mech is now a shattered ruin of its former self. The hacker crawls out of the destroyed cockpit and sighs. "Damn that Tyl! He started trying to kill me with the Mech's intruder rejection systems, and I had to hit the self-destruct." "Should we call Traveler to get you another one?" Doug asks him as Orion heals Gubio's wounds. "No," the hacker shakes his head. "I'll survive without. If I ever drive another Mech, it will be too soon." Kitainia nods. "Alright. What shall we do next?" "How about we go take care of Galante? He's still in town, right?" Tricia asks. "Great idea," says Doug. "Great idea. Let's go." The screen goes blank.

Favorite quotes> lIke everyone else. I've got a ton.
Top of the list comes from Ghostbusters.
"Human sacrifices, dogs and cates living together, mass hysteria!"
A lot of good contenders
"We've got better things to do tonight than die." Springer from Transformers the Movie
"Greed is good!" from Wall Street followed right alongside
"Your fifteen minutes are up" from American President. (Actually I like the whole speech, but that's the line where I jump up and cheer)
You really want to see something watch both of those movies at the same time. Weird seeing someone so deprave in one movie and such a boy scout in the others.
"...You just can't punch a guy you've gotta come up with a snappy saying. Like if you come with a surfboard you gotta say 'Surf's up pal'." Haulenbeck from The Last Boy Scout.
"Frankly my dear, I don't give a damm." Gone with the Wind. (And he walks away! I love it.) I love the classics.
Well I won't bore you with any more. Have a good week. Oh and Spike, the moive you're thinking of is Blade Runner.

Vampire Kittens. The Bedlam Cats album is a filk tape with nothing but cat songs. The title of that song is Kittens Blood and the tune is from another song called Cat's Blood (a scifi song). One of my favorite tapes (I wonder why?)

**Ravyn is sitting in the Commander's Seat of the tank, trying to drive the huge vehicle. She swerves a bit to avoid a pothole where a missile has hit the ground in front of her. Coyote is still firing arrows from the turret, and Ravyn is a bit worried. Next to her, Buick whines, and she pats his head. "Yeah, I'm a little worried too. He's showing even more psychotic tendencies than usual..." Suddenly the tank is hit by gunfire, and Rav swerves again.** **END RP FOR NOW!**
I just want to give a big CONGRATULATIONS to all those who made it in on the TGS Staff! I know you guys will do great! :)

Coyote sighs, noticing that Jason is already driving the convertible like a maniac. "Uh, Rav, it might be too late for that." He grins, and Ravyn grins back at him from her driver's seat as the screen flickers off...** **END RP!**

AIRWALKER - Good point about characters aging and changing. (I might add that I'm not that troubled by the picture of an elderly Bruce Wayne, particularly since the commercials indicate that he's still going to be a very interesting character - I like the way that they show him looking grimly out of the window of Wayne Manor in one of them).
Incidentally, this "Joker gang" business makes me wonder: in the future of the Gargoyles Universe, might New York be plagued by a "Pack gang"? Now there's a chilling thought.

I'm back! I haven't reviewed the last few episodes (they didn't inspire me really, one way or another) and I doubt I will; I won't have much time the next few weeks.
Jewel> I read 'Miserere'... Sorry, I thought they were your weakest by far... I think I'll send you by email an extensive review sometime the next few days. Looking forward to 'Apokalypsis' though.
Btw, Isabelle Saucier posted an extensive revision of 'Full Moon Rising'! I think it is far better than the original version. Not only it corrects numerous continuity errors, but it is far better in every way, in plot, characterisation, dialogue, humour, background, everything! I advise everyone to read it! The story now fits with both the Gargoyles universe and the rest of the Nameless Universe far better.

He's ecstatic because, for once, he's not out 2 bucks as another useless CDR becomes a fancy shiny coaster for his desk. And he thinks it's a miracle that, when he accidentally set it on 4x write speed, it didn't set his motherboard on fire!*

Mandi RE ST:Insurrection quote > Actually, I think it was *three* minutes of air left. sorry. I'm a nitpicker.
Speaking of Star Trek, I think one of the main reasons they keep making movies is to give Data better and better lines :) such as:
"In an emergency I am programmed to act as a floatation device."
LOL! This one reeked so much of Puck it had me rolling in the aisles!
'Nother Transformers Movie quote came to mind. "OW! Why boy hit my nose?!" -Grimlock

Yeah! I finished my English project with a day to spare! Oddly enough, after I was done, twenty storybook pages didn't feel like enough. When I was done I wanted comic book format so I could draw more pictures! Oh, wait.. I always think that in this kind of project after I'm done... And twenty drawings in a day wasn't too fun... Never mind, I'm just sorta rambling now, as I'm in a petty good mood, having talked to Heather for the last four hours... But now I'm feeling hyper! Its gonna be another of those insomnia nights I think... Maybe I could write some more... Or maybe I could try to take this romm from 300K to 400K by myself... Nah... I'm not that patient,I don't have that much to ramble about... Hmm...

**RP!**
[The Dark Star fleet is fighting Jerec's ships. Our heroes are holding their own against the enemy, but they're vastly outnumbered by Jerec's much weaker but even more numerous ships...Wilek: "We have to get out of here; I don't know how much longer our shields can hold!" Miriam: "They have interdictor cruisers; we can't enter hyperspace as long as they're active!" Wilek: "This is Nereus to all ships: Destroy or disable Jerec's interdictors! I don't care if you have to use your superlasers; we can recharge while we're retreating!"
**PAUSE RP!**
Dragons> Eh, I can take 'em or leave 'em.
Steve> Hm...philotics sounds interesting. You *do* know that there's an RL scientific theory that says essentially the same thing?
Doug> Oh, sorry for the mistake. :)
Theresa> Kewl quote. Vampire kittens?
Villains babbling> Well, the way I see it, it amuses certain villains (mostly old-school villains like SJ's dad) to tell the heroes all about their plans when they think the heroes can do exactly jack about it. I think the best way for the audience to learn the bad guy's plot is for the good guys to gradually discover it, or failing that, for the bad guy to have to explain it to a particularly incompetent minion.
Robby> <<Remember, the gargoyle commercials were pretty bad too!>> Yeah; if the commercials were how ppl first learned of Gargoyles, they'd never watch it. Yeesh.
One more favorite villain> 0 (that's right, his name is the number zero) from the Q-Continuum Star Trek novel trilogy. Read the books and find out why.
Kyryn and Mandi> YES! Congratulations to both of you, you can now torment us with teasers! Speaking of which...
Spike> A TEASER FOR AN EP THAT'S THREE [censored] WEEKS AWAY?! YOU ARE EVIL! :)
Welcome, Rachel! Hang around for a while, and you'll get the hang of things. I did, eventually.
Christine> Oh merciful Oberon, you are out of your [censored] MIND! :P j/k Seriously, I thought you meant literal human beings (and/or gargs) who were nutty. :) (Y'know, in light of this revelation, Night Of The Nut People would be an even kewler fic title than I thought...)
SJ> <<I've always liked the villains more. They usually look cooler, act cooler, are more interesting....>> I've always known that. Some of my characters, in fact, have appearances and personalities more suited to villains than heroes.
If Spike, Doug, and Coyote can drive y'all insane, I can too. Oh, wait...I haven't gotten any of "Destiny's Enforcer" written yet...Believe me, when I do and I give a teaser for it, you'll hate me until the thing's out. :)
What with the quote-mania that seems to have swept the room, I think you'll all enjoy the Babylon 5 quotes that you can access by clicking my name.
**RESUME RP!**
[All the Dark Star's forces begin directing their fire at the enemy interdictor cruisers. Miriam: "Even if we escape here, there's still the matter of locating the Death Star." Wilek: "We'll worry about that later, Miriam."]

Batman Beyond - The main reason that I heard that this show was created for was to sell toys. Still I'm willing to give it a chance. The commercials look alright.
Todd - I actually want to see characters age. If they don't age, if they don't move ahead, then they will eventually become static and repetitive.
Look at what's happened to Spider-Man. In an effort to keep him unaging, exactly like he was when he first appeared, Marvel has brought Aunt May back from the dead!
Characters have to change or slowly choke from trying not to change. Batman (as long as it is set in the modern day) has to be Bruce Wayne. It would just feel wrong if it wasn't. But in the future, I'm sure someone else can take up the mantle (although I would like it to either be Dick Grayson or Tim Drake. But that's just me).
That's what was so good about Gargoyles. The characters actually changed as time passed by. We know that eventually Goliath, Elisa, and Xanatos would have died. It's that realism that makes it good. The characters age (ok not Demona or Macbeth or the Fay or.. well most of the characters age), change, die. But they grow, they move on. Can anyone say that any of the characters were the same at the beginning of the series than they were at the end of the 2nd season? (I'm leaving out TGC because not much growth happened. That was the trouble. It became static. Gargoyles fight Quarrymen, and fight injustice. Eventually they win. So? It's not the destination that's interesting to see, it's the journey getting there.)

Hello ppl. I have finals in one week. I'm NOT happy!!!! :/
Spike>3 WEEKS!?! I can't wait that long!!! I have no patience!!!!! *screams*
Batman Beyond> I'm looking forward to seeing it tomorrow. I've been needing something for my Defenders of the Night Addiction ever since Gargs went off the air where I live. I recall the new Batman telling Bruce "Call me Robin and I'll slug you." This could be interesting....:)
Later all!

**RP STUFF**
In Thailog's secret base, the bad guy leaders are having a planning session. "They've killed your fundamentalists, Asil," says Thailog. "Disappointed as I am?" "Actually, I'm glad theyre dead," Asil shrugs. "I was getting sick of playing an angel." Thailog chuckles and turns to Zale. "What about your man Serpent? Is he ready to be beamed onto the Dark Star?" "We can't find it, sir. It must have gone into a hyperspace parking orbit. We're gonna have to abort the mission." "What about getting them out of hyperspace?" Thailog asks, suddenly growing angry. "My interdictor cruisers are on the other side of the galaxy," Jerec laments. "But look on the bright side. Soon my fleet will destroy Wilek's, and then our task will be that much easier. They're battling the Super Star Destroyer Impaler and several other powerful ships right now, I trust Admiral Lagor will be able to eliminate them." "He had better be," Thailog sighs. "What about the others who stand against our world conquest? The Ravens and their friends?" "They are fighting my Borg right now," says Guod. "And even if our side loses, we still have plenty of troops with which to wear down and destroy them." "Such as my lawyers," grins Roger Marsh. Thailog nods. "Very well. Continue with your current parts of the operation, all of you. I must contact Sevarius and make sure the clones of world leaders he is making for us will be operational on schedule. Dismissed."
The screen changes to Santa Fe's plaza, where Doug and the others have joined Coyote's team in battling the Borgified gang members. Doug has just blown off the head of a Borged tough guy named Earl, raising the ire of Borgis and Butt-Borg, who are firing a barrage of missiles at him. Doug quickly ducks behind a car, and makes a CR post while he waits for the bad guys to stop firing.
**PAUSE RP**
Steve Gooch: The Rock is a good movie. It's one of my favorite action flicks, if not my most favorite. Not sure what that would be.
Spike: Augh! Stop teasing us!! :)
TRC: Completely agree with you about what makes a dragon, or anyone, evil. I have not gotten your e-mail, guess you're still having problems. Let me say what you need to know. $ Roger Marsh is Thailog's finanicial supplier, and CEO of Marsh Industries, which makes furniture, industrial robots, munitions, styrofoam, paper goods, and a lot of other products I can't think of right now. A multibillionaire who looks like Gene Hackman and kinda has the personality of bad David Xanatos combined with Rufus Shinra, he is secretly obsessed with one day totally controlling the world's economy. He has joined forces with Thailog in hopes of achieving this objective when they do take over. Marsh has office buildings and factories all over America, the latter mostly concentrated in the Pacific Northwest. His corporate headquarters are in the 120 story Marsh Building in San Francisco, CA. He retains the services of a vast security force and the world's largest and most corrupt law firm, Bakkur and Hotsettler. The latter is currently suing us in the Black Ravens for all we've done to Marsh. Marsh's only other named employee is his executive vice president, Daniel Kilmer. Is this enough info for you? Please don't kill off any of these guys or injure them too drastically if that's what you were thinking of doing, we have some long range plans for them we would not like to see disrupted. (We being Kitainia and myself.) $ Like your crossover ideas, I will be doing at least one of them (the Brimstone one) in my fanfic someday.
Ender's Game: Very good book. I got a lot of inspiration for my character Rachel from it, too. I agree that kids can often be more mature than their age makes it seem like they should.
Batman Beyond: I'll judge that show after I've watched it, not before.
Deuce: Maybe you tried caffeine free. That type of coke always makes me want to throw up. Cherry coke is good, though, I think. Regular is also delicious.
Rachel: Welcome to the CR, newcomer. Remember to check your sanity at the door, or it will soon be taken from you. :)
Coyote: It's "It's not a good night to be a bad guy." I like that one, too. I also really liked the following quote:
Xanatos- "So now you know my weakness."
Goliath- "Only you would consider love a weakness."
Fanfic Teaser: (Yes, I'm doing one, too.)
"Alright," Komodo nodded. "You shall have it. Come, dine on mushrooms and track rabbit. You must all be hungry from your long trip to down below."
Fisk nodded and followed Komodo and his thugs deep into the subbasement, listening to the sound of a rat screech and scurry away. "Should I catch it?" one of the Mander thugs asked Komodo. "It could be one of that Pied Piper's spies."
"Let it go," the lizardman shot back. "Our enemy should know of our new allies."
Fool, the Kingpin thought. Does he not know the value of suprise in battle? With that attitude, he will not survive down here much longer. And nor will I.
Coming in late Janurary- "Inheritance."
Christine: Thanks for sharing about the Nut people, it was hilarious. :) I would be very interested in seeing Defenders of the Nut, hope you decide to make them.
Saw "A Civil Action" today. It was an okay movie, though it didn't have the most exciting plot. But at least Robert Duvall and John Travolta gave good preformances.
Okay, that's all for now. Later!
**MORE RP**
The missile fire stops, and Doug and the others leap out of hiding to shoot at the enemy again. All of a sudden, Gubio's Mech starts acting strange. It turns around and begins firing at the Ravens, even as Gubio pounds on the cockpit's controls and tries to aim the guns back at the Borg. "What's going on?" Doug asks, ducking as a laser blast shoots over him. "I don't know!" Gubio shouts. "This thing isn't responding!" Then a stream of maniacal laughter echoes out the device's speakers. "Greetings, Ravens," says the evil hacker Tyl. "This is just one of many little presents I put in your truck back when I stole it. Now I too can control your mech by remote, and I will use it to execute you." "Doug!" Gubio shouts, trying to twist the key. "I can't turn it off! Help!!" Doug and Kitainia rush toward the Mech, trying to leap up on its legs as the screen fades out. The battle between the Ravens, etc., and the Borgified Beavis and Butthead characters rages on all around them. To be continued.

Great quotes! Awesome quotes! More quotes!
"You talk about the world like it's someplace that you've been..." and "Don't cry out loud; you've gotta bear your cross, and never dream too loud", both by the Goo Goo Dolls. (Who I'm currently listening to).
SNOW> Hey, I was just outside for two hours snowblowing our driveway. So much fun! Of course, my cheeks look like stop signs, but that's the price.

:: Christine enters the room, pale and shaking. She turns as if about to flee, then steels herself and comes the rest of the way in ::
The Night of the Nut People, huh? You guys really wanna hear about the Night of the Nut People?
:: she gulps, scrubs a trembling hand over her brow, takes a quick drink ::
Well ... okay ... it started at a pre-Xmas crafts fair back in 1993 ... this woman had a whole table of Nut People (and Nut Animals, etc.) These consisted of: a walnut sitting on its fat end so the pointy end stuck up, a filbert glued to the pointy end to make like a head, and then felt, puffballs, paint, and so on added to make critters.
So I uttered to Tim the fateful words ... "I can do that!"
And I did. Starting with the squirrels. But from there, I swiftly realized that the possibilities were endless. Santas. Elves. Pirates. Vikings. Panda bears. Angels. Peacocks. Everybody on my gift list that year got a Nut Person (or animal) affixed to his/her present. But ... it got worse ...
I realized I could make a "Nutivity Scene." So I did. I made two. One for me, one for my friend Kim. Complete with a brazil-nut camel and an almond covered with tiny white puffballs to be a sheep, and half a walnut to serve as the manger for the tiny pink puffball baby ...
And then ... well, at the time, I was running a fantasy RPG and decided to make, on the sly and in secret, the entire pantheon of my gods as a present for Tim.
I went ... literally ... nuts. Maybe it was the paint fumes. Maybe it was the repeated pain of hot-gluing my fingers. Maybe it was staying up until the wee small hours not wanting to quit and clean up until I was DONE.
That was five years ago. They haven't gone bad yet. I just last week put away the Nutivity Scene with the Xmas stuff for another year, and the Nut Gods still hang in a glassed-in knicknack shelf in the dining room. They're probably all dried and mummified.
But ... ya wanna know the really scary thing?
I've been having the most awful and pervasive thought ... I could do it, I know I could ... anyone who's seen the Puffball Clan knows that I could ... imagine if you will ... Defenders of the Nut!
AAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**The screen lights up to reveal ... Coyote's party jumping into the fray with Butt-Borg's backup army. Jason and the Gearhead are now in Ravyn's convertible, while Ravyn is in the Commander's Seat of the tank, with Coyote riding on the turret just behind her, crossbow and cellphone at the ready.**
Here they come! All right, don't open fire until ...
**A blast sails over Coyote's head, cutting a path through his hair.**
Oh-kay, UNLOAD EVERYBODY!!
**All hell breaks loose, as the tank, the occupants of the convertible and the Onslaught all unload into the Borg army. Coyote fires a series of arrows from the crossbow, hitting a number of Borg and laughing hysterically as the arrows explode on contact, knocking the Borg back with the collected hangover breath from Jason.**
BWAHH-HAH-HAH!!!
<"I'm starting to worry about you, Coyote."> **The tank fires a 12-incher into the middle of the crowd.**

Quotes: Great quotes, everybody! I had a couple more thought up, as long as we're still collecting them ...
BTW, here's the short list of the speakers of my last group:
Dark Helmet, Sheriff Bart, Jim the Waco Kid, Jake Taylor, Leslie Zevo, William Wallace, the Spanish big tipper with the stone-drunk wife and the really bratty kids, and Goliath.
Anyway, here goes ...
Quote #9:
"Everything you create, you use to destroy." (Leeloo, The Fifth Element)
Quote #10:
"It's like saying, 'Hey you, can you help me kill you?'" (Lina Inverse, The Slayers (BTW Robby, you could probably explain the situation for this quote better than I can.))
Best Garg quotes: I think I've said this one before, but the one I think I said was the absolute best was Angela saying "It's not a good day to be a bad guy." A couple of other good ones would have to be ... hmm ... oh hell, the hopeless romantic in me is coming out again ...
"You know how I feel about you, right?"
"How ... we both feel ... yes."
"Good."
Villains:So many that I've liked, so little time to say them all ... but I'd have to say definitely Demona, General Zevo (from "Toys"), Jean-Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg (The Fifth Element ... don't ask how I remembered his entire name!!),
Ming T'ien (Xena), Darth Vader, Emplate (Generation X comic), and I think Lord Fax was a pretty good villain, too (from "Dragonriders of Pern").
Spike: Oooh, you and your teasers! ;)
Well, if she can do iit, so can I ...
Liberty sighed, looking at Graeme painedly. "Rosanna's told me of the gargoyles' reason for existence, to protect. She's told me of the time it took for Earth's gargoyles to be accepted. How long do you think it will take humanity to accept me?"
--- midnight tonight, the new volume is up.
Gargoyle crossoxers: Hmm ... interesting list there, however I think an even more interesting one would be ...
Gargoyles/Savage Dragon
Ravyn: Uhh ... yeah. Got an autograph, too. ;)
Deuce: Thank you. :)
Batman Beyond: I'm willing to give it a chance.

No RP tonight.
Coffee: Oh my God, just open up a vein, and attach an IV. You guys may not like it, but I LIVE for the stuff. 2 sugars, with a little milk.
Villains: I must admit, I've always liked the villains more. They usually look cooler, act cooler, are more interesting....plus they can do practically anything. I mean, they aren't hindered by little things called 'laws' or 'morales'. I'm sure that's why todays modern heroes are essentially anti-heroes: they may do the right thing, but they do it the wrong way (i.e. the Punisher, who cuts down crime by killing every crook he sees).
Dragons: Myself, I got a bad case of "dragonfear." Dragons aren't my thing, man. See dragon. See SJ. See SJ run from dragon, screaming like a little girl.
Not that I don't love dragons, though. They're wonderful characters in literature and movies. Just, if they were real, I'd stay a few miles from their general vicnity at all times.
Batman Beyond: I await the premiere (tomorrow night at 7 p.m., eastern time, on the Dub-dub-dubba-ya B) with both anticipation and anxiety. On the plus side, there's the thrill of a new Batman show. On the down side, I've heard that the show is a)aimed for a younger audience (which for me means crappy, dumbed-down plots/scripts) and b)while not necessarily a bad show, is not on the level with the current Batman show. I guess only time will tell if the series is worth watching. If they screw up the Batman franchise, I'll be ticked!!!!!
Todd: I believe the Joker you were referring to is a member of the "Joker gang," which is a group of street thugs keeping the psycho's memory alive by committing random acts of violence and destruction. As for any other Bat villains....I've heard that the villains will be, for the most part, original. There will be a new Royal Flush Gang (they're supposed to be cool....but I don't know if that word applies to people who dress up as playing cards). As for recurring Bat villains....I've heard that Freeze may make an appearance 2nd season. Batman:TAS fans will note that he is the only other villain, besides Ghul, that could possibly live long enough to show up.
From what I've heard though, the new Gotham takes more from classic anime like "Akira" than it does from Frank Miller (which is a shame, we could use some good evil mutants running around).
Jewel: There's a whole psychic thing going on...I too am have way done with Good Omens. And I have read Neverwhere. I loved it! Can't wait for the movie!
Quotes: I got a lot of them.
1. Just about anything said in Pulp Fiction.
"Hand me my wallet. You know which one is mine? It's the one with 'Bad Mutha F***a' on it."
2. "It's from a friend of mine. He taught me the meaning of life."
"Oh yeah? What's that?"
"It ends."
---Rico to prison warden, shortly before he blows the warden's brains out (Judge Dredd)
3. "You set us up. You were in on it with Lucas Henry from the start. Well, I just came here to tell you, if Mulder dies, two days from now there's nothing in this world that will stop me from pulling the switch that gasses you out of this world, you son of a bitch!!!"
---Agent Dana Scully, to guest star Brad Douriff in the episode "Beyond the Sea"
4. "You sir, are not one of my vassals."
"And who are you supposed to be?"
"I am Henry the Red, Duke of Shale, King of the Northlands, and leader of its peoples."
"Well, hello Mr. Fancypants! Right now you ain't leading but two things, Jack and S***, and Jack left town."
---Ash to Henry the Red (Army of Darkness)
5. "Such heroic nonsense."
---Megatron, right before he wastes some Autobot ass (Trasformers: The Movie)
6. "You'd better give your soul to the Lord, cause your ass is mine!"
"And that's the bottom line, cause Stone Cold says so!"
"If you want to see me kick this pathetic piece of trash's ass, gimme a hell yeah!"
---All this and more, courtesy of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
7. "I'm sorry I was jealous earlier, Austin."
"You should be! I SHAGGED her!"
"You...you what?"
"I shagged her rotten baby, yeah!"
"Austin! I don't believe you! Well, did you use protection?"
"Of course, I had my nine millimeter!"
"That's not what I mean! Did you use a...condom."
"Only sailors use condoms, baby!"
"Not in the nineties, Austin!"
"Well, they ought to, the filthy buggers, they go from port to port."
---Austin taking to Vanessa about his relationship to Miss Alotta Fagina
8. "F*** you, F***ball."
---Me, when I'm angry enough.

Actually, I'm looking forward to seeing Batman Beyond. It's clearly based on the Frank Miller Dark Knight mini-series from the 80s. He also did some comics with a Japanese flavor called 'Ronin' and 'Lone Wolf and Cub'. Frank Miller was one of my main influences in art school (way back in the mesoziac era) along with John Byrne, Bill Sienkiewicz, and others.

Rachel! Hello and welcome to the insanity! Just hang around a while and you'll learn what we all do. Some of us are pretty darned interesting in fact. But, its a friendly place where lots of things are talked about, some serious, some silly. Basically, a nice place to live, and one where you wish you didn't only visit.
Batman Beyond- Again, premiere tommarrow night. From what I understand, NONE of Bruce's old villains are EVER going to be in the show, or at least, not in season one., There is a Joker gang... And even an 80 year old Bruce still kicks butt from what Paul Dini has said... Again, we'll see tommarrow...
Oh look, DS9 is about to come on... Wonder if it'll be a new one?..

ORDELL - Yes, that's the one. I've sometimes wondered if that Egyptian episode could have influenced "Grief" a little. After all, they both deal with a great force of life and death from ancient Egypt still extant in the modern world, and the "Batman" episode was entitled "Avatar" while the Emir and Jackal both became avatars (the word actually used in the script for "Grief") of Anubis. But it could be just a coincidence.

Todd > Was Guhl the old guy who's daughter fell in love with Batman? I've seen a few of those episodes off and on when the show was on Fox, and when I go to San Antonio. I saw a really good episode featuring Guhl that was set and Egypt and was written by Michael Reaves.
Has anyone heard about the new Crow series from McFarlane? It looks pretty cool, although O'Barr's name was nowhere to be seen in the ad I saw......

BATMAN BEYOND - As I commented in the other comment room, I can't help wondering how the hard-core "Batman" fans are going to feel about an elderly white-haired Bruce Wayne. (We know that even fictional heroes have to age, but we don't like to imagine it. I doubt that most of us feel that comfortable about imagining a super-annuated Goliath and Elisa in the future - although given the sort of lives that they lead, they might not make it to old age :)
From the commercials, it seems that a character who looks astonishingly like the Joker is ravaging the Gotham City of the future; I doubt that it's *the* Joker, however, unless there's some little secret about him that we haven't learned before. Of course, if they're going to be bringing in any villains from the original series, the one that I believe absolutely has to get into "Batman Beyond" is Reis el Ghul (sp?). He's got the best logistics for survival into the far future, being an immortal, and he's also one of the most interesting of Batman's opponents. Of course, if he shows up in "Batman Beyond", I sincerely hope that he's still voiced by David Warner.

Just a little note... THE TWO MORONS HAVE BEEN BEATEN!!! AH-HAHAHAHAHAAA! *WHAP!* a-HEM! Excuse me...
In the USA Weekend Poll, Beavis & Butt-Head were beaten by Ren & Stimpy! They lost 44% to 55%... Which means the rat-dog and fat-cat are our next target of oppertunity in the finals of Bracket 1!
As for the current voting: Doug is beating Super Friends 57% to 42% . . . I guess the power of Quailman is too much for the Justice League! :)

Mandi: <blushing> Thank you. =) I've been surprised by getting people telling me this series was good--I was terrified it was going to be waaaaaay too weak. Once again, I think I've been a harsher critic on myself than it's possible for anyone else to be...
Argent: <grin> OK, I've been weirded out by your pet and I having the same name. Do me a huge favor, and give Jewel a suffix: ie, Jewel the Draco. Please....
Wilek: It's Greek. I pick up all sorts of stuff in the most *random* places. I found "Apokalypsis" in a book I have on artwork of Revelations--a little bitty book of artwork people have done based on the book of Revelations. It was buried in the Preface section. I've never studied Latin or Greek, though (French, yes. German, yes. Italian, yes. Chinese, yes. Greek and Latin, nope). Most of the Latin I *do* know I've picked up from singing so much--a I sing in a Renaissance music group, and the vast majority is in Latin. However, once when I was drunk, I freaked myself out by picking up a book written in Latin and translating it...
Title: OK, Apokalypsis it is. <evil grin> I'm about five-ten pages away from being finished with the first story (I've been a wee bit busy this winter break, if y'all couldn't tell).
Fav quotes: Ok, my favorite quote isn't from a movie, but "X-Files" Mulder: "Scully..." Scully: "Yes, Mulder?" Mulder: "I...love you." Scully: "Oh, brother." OK, there's also "Dude, this is pretty f*cked up right here." from the "Spirit of Christmas."
Sevarius Jr: Another Neil Gaiman fan! Yay! I just got hooked on his stuff and am halfway through "Good Omens." Have you read "Neverware" yet?

**Mandi comes in with a box of tissues under one arm, rubbing her eyes**
Ugh. Would you believe I just woke up two hours ago? I think I caught the bad cold Mom has, but she has it a lot worse. *sigh*
Anyway, I had so much to catch up on after my last post that I had to load the comment room and then disconnect from the Net just to read everything so I wouldn't be hogging the phone. :)
Movie quotes: Geez, what hasn't been mentioned yet? Lemme think...
The very best end movie line I've ever heard:
"I'm gonna tell you a secret. You're a much stronger player than I was at your age."
"Thanks."
--Searching For Bobby Fischer (you'll have to see it to understand)
What else:
"There's no such thing as 'too late'! That's why they invented death!"
--Walter Matthau, "Out to Sea"
"You have the right to an attorney! But if you hire Johnnie Cochran, I'll kill you!"
--Chris Rock, "Lethal Weapon 4"
Just about everything that comes out of 'Dr. Evil's' mouth in "Austin Powers."
Spaceballs: I have a ton of sound clips from that on my comp, and I can't pick just one...
"The Son'a wish to negotiate a cease-fire. It may have something to do with the fact that their ship has only fifteen minutes of oxygen left."
--Worf, ST: Insurrection
Data: For a time, I was tempted by her offer.
Picard: How long a time?
Data: 0.68 seconds, sir. For an android, that is nearly an eternity.
--"Star Trek: First Contact"
TV quotes:
"Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass."
--Cordy, BtVS
"Sacrificing yourself for a lawyer? Time to rethink your priorities, bub."
--The Trickster (Mark Hamill), The Flash
"Kiss Rocks? Why would anyone want to kiss--oh, wait. I get it."
--Willow, BtVS
"Mulder, I just want to remind you that by not informing the
local PD, we are in violation state laws prohibiting contamination of a crime scene." (as Mulder ignores her) "Why do I bother?"
--Scully, "The Beginning"
"General Hammond, request permission to beat the crap out of this man!"
--Col. O'Neill, Stargate: SG-1 "Bane"
"It's not guns that kill people, it's those little hard things."
--The Flash
Picard: "You are not God!"
Q: "Blasphemy. You're lucky I don't cast you out or smite you or something."
--TNG, "Tapestry"
O'Neill: "Damn! There goes my Oprah interview."
Teal'c: "What is an Oprah?"
--Stargate: SG-1, "Emancipation"
Okay, I'll stop now.
Kyryn> Congrats! We both made the TGS staff! **hi-fives her**
Robby> Nope, it's a canon quote. I have the sound clip, although I don't know which episode it's from.
Fleur> Didn't comment on this my last post, but that loser had the nerve to say all that?? I don't blame you for wanting to pound him. Grrr... And what a thing to say at Christmas time...
Rayvn> Heh, thanks! I tried to manage the girls' b-ball team at Hood, but theatre kind of screwed that up. :P
Jewel> I just read your next three stories - bravo! I loved them! **cheers and claps**
SJ> I sympathize with the snow. It turned to a literal glaze of ice last night, and driving home from work was scary as anything. WHY do some people still try to top the speed limit with all this crap on the road??? (Sorry. Just a quickie vent.)
Random thought> A while back we were all discussing voices for our characters. Now I don't know who she'd voice, but would anyone else have liked to see Angela Bassett do a voice on Gargoyles?
I have to get moving. Later, all!

COYOTE> Cool quotes! I LOVE Spaceballs.
DOUG> Cherry Coke? I thought they didn't make that stuff anymore. I remember trying some when I was about 8, and I was totally grossed out.
SPIKE> Grrr....
TRC/BRIAN> Hehe... my ISP _is_ the phone company.
ARGENT> The little dollar signs enclose RP-related comments.
RAVYN re: GARGS PLAYING B-BALL> I can just see someone getting pissed and clawing the ball to shreds. :-)
I'll add a few more quotes to the collection:
"Give the people the contests they win by remembering more state capitals ... or how much corn Iowa grew last year. Chock
them so damn full of 'facts' that they'll feel bursting, but absolutely brilliant with information. They'll get a sense of
motion without actually moving. They'll feel happy, because facts of that sort don't change. Don't give them slippery stuff
like philosophy or sociology to tie things up. That way lies melancholy." - Captain Beatty, Fahrenheit 451. (Ray Bradbury)
"If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it" - W.C. Fields
"We don't have to do it RIGHT, we just have to DO IT, right?" - Me, on a hellish science project in Grade IX.
"I think people love to put labels on stuff, because it's the only way we can identify the world we live in today." -
Emerson Hart, Tonic
"I am going to f---ing KILL YOU GUYS!" - Eric Cartman, the only decent quote from South park

Sorry, no RP right now. Maybe later. I'm having a creative block! ;)
Re: NBA Lockout> Whether they're gonna have a season or not, (which now I guess they are), I really don't care because I have a much better time watching college b-ball. Those college kids are out there playing because they want to play, not because they get millions of dollars for doing it.
Re: Gargs playing basketball> I've often wondered that myself. My guess is that they'd be pretty good at it, since they're extremely agile and can jump well. Although I would think it'd be a rough game with all those talons and tails and wings in there. It might also be hard to dribble or shoot with those big ol' claws...:)
Mandi> *hi-fives her* All right!! It's great to know someone else who loves girls basketball enough to be a manager for a team. I really appreciate my team's manager, and I end up acting like one most of the time since I never play. Go, Mandi! :)
Coyote> *gasps* YOU'VE MET CYNTHIA COOPER?!?!? *falls over and just about dies of shock* Congrats! ;)
Hmm...I have lots of basketball opinions today. :)

(Argent walks in, followed by Jewel (the purple glows, for those of you who forgot) Jewel shakes herself and snow goes flying all over the room.)
Yup, it's STILL coming down out there.
Best Villan> Ohhhhhh, that's HARD!!! But I'm going with Bobba Fett (Star Wars). I know, bounty hunters are really mercenaries, but Fett is THE best of the best. He's completely devoid of pity or compassion. Any emotion from him at all is rare. He isn't good, he isn't bad, but somehow he still seems...evil. (Also, despite all the beings gunning for him, he's STILL not dead. Not even that Sarlaac (sp?) in 'Return of the Jedi" could kill him.)
Movie Quotes>
"Do or do not. There is no try."
- Yoda (Return of the Jedi)
"Oh yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or, learn from it."
- Rafiki (Lion King)
"...so are you normal? Or are you just one of us?"
- Angus (Angus)
"You have no power over me!"
- forget (Labyrinth)
"Snakes. It had to be snakes."
- Indiana Jones (Raiders of the Lost Ark)
" Weapons are the weakest defense."
- forget (Hypernauts)
Got lots of others, but they're not from movies.
Hey what do phrases put in $these$ mean?
Wilek> Right now I just have one. C'mere Jewel. (Argent holds out an arm. Jewel darts out from behind a couch and lands on it.) Jewel is a draco. Dracos are like dragons, except they can change size anywhere from about six inches to fifty feet. More details for anyone who asks later, this post is already pretty long.
Gotta Jet!

Doug- The storybook format helps, and I'm a decent artist in my own right. (Just not nearly as good as Demona) But even if I asked for her help, it would be too long in the coming, the project is due Monday. Its typed up, but 20 drawings in two days... Thats just mean on the teacher's part.
Hmm... Just watched Voltron 3-D... Interesting... Sorta... Bad computer animation, bad scripting, bad costume design... The characters looked MUCH better in the 80's show...To their credit they did get a lot of the original actors, but they don't seem to have as much enthusisas they used to when they shout "Go Voltron force!" Also, hearing Lotor spew lines in the Sevarius voice just seems so WRONG... Did lead me to another quote tho...
"Form blazing sword!"
Great lines- Um, most Sean Connery stuff. Maybe its just the voice, I don't know.
Garg quotes- "Gargoyle! Prepare to get creamed!" (And the whole 30 or so seconds that follow that line.)
Greatest villain- Too many great villains to pick out just one, but I give points to almost any Tony Jay villain, (Paraselsus anyone?) and especially his ReBoot character, Megabyte for style. To date he's STILL the only villain I've ever seen pull plan three one four... (Play an awesome guitar solo at a birthday party)
The new batman show- Its a spin off, taking place like 60 years in the future with an old Bruce Wayne and a new kid taking his place as Batman. It is NOT replacing the original show, its airing right after it, and getting an hour long premiere tomarrow night. Lets judge it then for however cool or bad it is, not from the commercials. (Remember, the gargoyle commercials were pretty bad too!)
Estra- The address for the fanfic archive has been given like 3 times since you asked... Are you paying attention, or do you want it e-mailed to you?
Wilek- In brief, Ender's Game is Orson Scott Card's first book, and still one of his best. Its about a seven year old who was born to serve the military in space wars against an alien species called Buggers. He is recruited, trains on a space station with other kids his age. But he's advanced, and is soon promoted... Its got drama, realistic children acting like adults, (as children truly do but no adult is willing to admit) a nasty general named Graff... A little kid named Bean... Laser guns, zero gravity training room, games, games, games... Not to mention Ender's genius brother and sister... I would explain more, but then I'd be spoiling... Its very good, worth reading if you can find it. It explains philotics later on.
If the explanation about philotics given by Steve seems confusing, (But you got it right Steve) don't worry, its not a big part of Ender's game, and is explained better in the third and fourth books when it becomes important.
Demona May- She's just gonna be flattered when she reads you people's comments... Geez, if you people think that one christmas pic of Demona is good, just wait until you see her good stuff...
Steven- Timone's quote was actually, "What do you want me to do? Dress in drag and do the hula?" Not lual... (Of course, I'm gonna seem real stupid if I'm wrong... Oh well...) Good bit all the same... Hades does have some good ones though, I agree.
Spike- More teasers... Agg!
End quote...
"LUAL! Are you aching for a piece of fat and juicy meat?
Have my buddy Pumbaa here he is a treat!
Haven't got a dime, want a nice and tasty swine, all you gotta do is get in line... ARRE you achin'?
YUM YUM...
FOOR some bacon?
YUM YUM...
HEEE'S a big pig!
YUM YUM...
You can be a big pig too! Oii!"
I'm not identifying the source, because if you don't know what that quote is from, I'll have to hurt you.
