**RP BEGINS HERE**

The Ravens with Doug (in Bucharev's factory) finish destroying the robots and most of the management staff. As they are reloading and healing their wounds (with potions since Shap and Orion aren't around), Keith says, "I think I saw a couple guys dash over behind that machinery. Let's check it out." Doug nods at the others to do so while he posts in the CR.

**PAUSE RP**

TRC: Welcome back. Did you and Kyryn get my dragon descriptions? I agree with you about original gargoyles characters changing, they do that in my fic too. And I have gotten complaints about it and given the same answer. It usually works.

SJ: I always thought Claire Furlani was the cuter of the three girls in that movie. But Vanessa Marcil was okay, too. BTW, which soldier was Tony Todd? The big black guy who Cage made the Rocket Man? (That was the guy I based Sameer on.)

Lawrence: Bad Girls, huh? I hope Willow's one of them! <grin> Thanks for the heads-up, I shall be watching this one.

I'll also be watching X-Files Full Disclosure this Sunday. I want to find out all about those black oil and faceless aliens for my fic saga, not to mention CSM's real name. :)

Cage as Superman: Can't see it happening either. I don't think they should make another Superman movie. Reeve and Gene Hackman (who played Lex Luther in the movies) did such a good job on all the Superman stories nobody else could top them. At least, they did IMO.

TRC again: Don't worry about Brimstone. I may be picking up the thread in my fic saga. I have plans for a Brimstone crossover in about ten stories or so. Castaway is one of the 113 escaped souls, and he has returned to New York. The clan must team up with Ezekiel to take him down. Him and his new allies, the Sword of God militia (basically these guys are militant Fundamentalist Extreme jerks, borrowed from Pistoff's universe). And of course Micheal Canmore will have some huge character development in this one. I don't know what I'm gonna call it yet, but it's probably going to be a great tale.

Robby: I somewhat agree with you about stars. Thanks for anwsering my question. Now I know at least 3 people have read the fic (you, Kitainia, the star person). Hope when more do they think to give me more feedback than just a rating. (hint hint)

Mulan: I like that movie, too. Very funny, good plot, great characters, and the villain is one of the most menacing Disney has produced. I like his hawk the best. And that "How many men does it take to deliver a message?" is a very good and chilling line. :)

Samurai Pizza Cats: Only saw a couple eps of this myself. They were pretty good, though, so I wouldn't mind watching more. Too bad it's off the air. :(

Deuce: Terrible what happened. Kitainia and I will be praying for you, like the e-mail said, and hoping you resolve this. Once again, good luck.

Kaioto: Very good advice, sounds like what I used to have to do (and still do occasionally) with my parents.

Dumlao: Happy anniversary in advance. As for whether you should clear the room early, I say go for it. The more time one spends with one's loved ones, the better. <grin> And plus, we fans won't have to stay up till midnight reading the new ep. (Big plus, that.)

Heather: Glad your surgery went fine, welcome back to the CR. Wish we could sign your cast, hope you get it off soon.

Steve Gooch: Hope you pick the room, to me it sounds like a more interesting topic. As for your letter-writing campaign, great idea. I'll send a few once I know Deuce's parents' address (and I get the okay from him).

Simpsons/Underdog: I'm a fan of both these shows. The latter show had some very cool villains and lines. I especially liked Underdog's "This time, Riff, you've gone too far. I won't let you steal this armored car!" L. But Simpsons is a much better show, IMHO. It lasted longer, has more interesting plots and developed characters, is funnier, etc. I think it should have gotten the award, but oh well. At least I won't have to choose between voting for it and Gargoyles. I also think I'll be putting some more characters from it in my fic saga (look for Lenny and Carl in the next one, my fic saga already features Laura and a guy who resembles Jimbo Jones).

Kyryn: Nice fic, I liked the start you're getting off to. Congrats on your engagement, I wish you and Okami all the best. Did you get my dragon descriptions?

Atilla: $ Thurmond might have a problem finding Methos. If you'll check the RP, our very own Stephanie got in a fight with him recently and took his head. If Thurmond wants to challenge her, though, Stephanie's ready and willing. She hates that guy. :) $

Nicodemus: Given that Banshee is kinda in love with Rory, too, that should make for one interesting conflict.

Taleweaver: Thanks for telling us Timedancer's coming back. And it's a follow-up to FOTS, huh? Alright, this I gotta read! :)

Okay, that's all for now. I have to go to this poetry reading my English teacher is making us attend. Hope it's interesting. Later.

**MORE RP**

Keith and the others flush out the two hiding managers and shoot them down. "That's all of them," the Ravens' ninja says, and Doug nods. "Okay, let's go talk to Boris's relatives." "Not so fast, Ravens!" a voice suddenly comes over the factory loudspeaker. It's Gennady Bucharev, and he does not look happy. The Russian crime boss is in the viewing room above the factory floor, looking down on them with his accountant by his side. "I see my friend Boris has betrayed my trust. Fool. Now his sister and her family shall pay the price for his betrayal." "You made him betray us first, Bukie!" Shauna shouts up at the wheelchair-bound old man. "And my boyfriend Shap is protecting Boris's family, there's no way you can get to them!" "Ah, so you fell for the old evil clone trick," Bucharev grins. "I was wondering where the false family I had Sevarius whip up in case of this had gotten to." "False family?" Stephanie asks. "Evil clones? Uh oh!" "That's right!" Bucharev says. "The real family I murdered long ago after they led a sitdown strike in this same factory. I made Boris think they were still alive to fool him into my service. And now, the clones I created for this eventuality shall destroy your friend Shap. As for the rest of you,..." "What you gonna do, huh?" Jaden asks. "We smashed all your drones!" "Not all of them," Bucharev says, pressing a button. His four heavily armed goons walk onto the factory floor, each is wearing heavy battle tank armor with chaingun arms and missile launchers above the shoulders. "You had to ask," Keith tells Jaden. "This whole building will explode in five minutes," Bucharev says. "But you won't live to see it anyway. Hahahahaha!!" With that, he floats down through a trapdoor in the floor of the observation booth, transforms his hovering wheelchair into a flying battle pod with armaments similar to the goons' suits and begins circling the Ravens. The accountant leaps down after him, landing in a crouch unharmed (he's obviously had some ninja training) and pulls out an Uzi. The screen fades out as the bad guys attack. To be continued.

*LOL* ok..lets see..where to start...

Wilek Nereus< Oh, yes:) thank you but i knew the Q thing..just lazy:P *L* thanks for the names! oh! *L* service..ya..i get it:P how did i memorize it?? Well i DO enjoy a long drawn out show toon that annoys ppl..i make it my mission to know them if i can. This on was especially hard cuz it was on when i was at school, so over summer when i babysat..i got myself a pen and paper:)

Robby< YOU KNOW the "Yakko Warner's The Nations of The World" song:P not FAIR! *he he* hey! write it here again when you get the chance so i can print it K?? I have wanted the casset for a long time..never did find it though:( oh well...

IronWolf< Oh:) no problem..even for me it is hard to keep in mind it WAS five years ago so we have to add things on..(though i only added on the years it was on:) Ya, now that you mention it..a 20yr. old Gargoyle dating a 15 or 16 year old human..ya..could be problems! But we don't know for sure..so she could plausably be 18 or 19..i mean Aiden seems young..but she 18..or wait..is she 19 by now? hmm...

DragonBall topic< YEA! i am a real fan of this show..but not the english dubbed stuff, the original stuff. If any of you read the Dragonball and Dragonball Z comics..i got my letter and a drawing published in ..oh..hmm..Dragonball issue 10# or was it 9#? no i think it was ten..darn:P
I agree that it would have gotten here one way or another..it has already been everywhere else. It made sense to give it a chance..it has already made meny a buisiness happy with the kind of merchandising mania it pulls along with it.

Simpsons LOST to UnderDog??? ok...

hmmm...parent problems?? I think my advice..theory, whatever..kind of goes along with Kaioto's post..*he he* just a _tad_ bit sneeky..as Kaioto said, you should always obey and respect your parents less they are seriously off their rocker..(i know friends who are more level headed then their parents are) I would like to add that they are the ones who provide for you and care for your best interests...to try and fight a force such as this is dangerous..even stupid. Ya catch more flys with honey:) Showing, and then convincing your parents of your responsibility is something we have to work on constantly..we cant just act unresponsible for years then turn around and try cleaning our rooms for a week or so. I find that more adualts prefer to work with me, then friends or other children my age. I am not a kissup. You dont have to be. Just remember that it is far better in your interests sometimes to sacrafice things you want..or think should be argued, in the present..to gain things in the long run. Respect for privacy , trust..etc.
Of course that is not to say that parents cant get out of line. Such as some of you out there with one or more parents that make unreasonable rules..or are to afraid to let you do things. Yes, i know how that can get. In some cases you just have to use your own judgement, but that would usually be in more of an extream situation and you should be able to see it. We should also keep in mind that we ARE their babies after all..no matter what age. We are their babies..they learned to always keep and eye out for us..now we are trying to go against that. Take a look at ppl like us..our parents at our ages probably said the same things we do about their parents rules..but as most do..they grow up and have kids..then everything is changed..you know when your mom or dad says.."You just cant understand yet" THAT is what they are talking about! One day, meny of us will experience the transision from young free adult, to a less selfish love..that can form a family..and THEN we will understand what they mean..they were trying to tell us that they know Exactly how we feel, but it was no good arguing the point to us then, because they knew they heard the same things from their parents..and didn't belive or understand it then either:)

Going with the flow..i think it somewhat applies in this situation..
Hm...well thats enough for now:) bye all!

KITAINA - For that matter, in "Deadly Force" when Owen's telling Elisa and Chavez about the details of the guns that Tony Dracon stole from Xanatos, notice how he pronounces "power ranges".

Of course, the big difference between the Pack and the Power Rangers is that the Pack probably went permanently off the air after the events in "The Thrill of the Hunt", while the Power Rangers keep on going ad infinitum, or more accurately, ad nauseum.

Cartoon Voting- Hey, I voted for Underdog! Twice! Personally, I thought it deservered the win more considering how old it is, and besides, it was, well... The underdog of the bout...

Deuce- Ya know what I'd say. Thats should be enough in this case.

Saban and Dragonball Z- True it wouldn't have reached these shores as soon without them, but considering its one of the biggest Japanese properties ever, I think someone else would have eventually gotten it here, and perhaps without all the censorship... And someone else might have gotten around to the third season as well... By now its a moot point for me, I've ordered fandubs of the next hundred episodes...

Dumlao- Clear the room early. Or late for that matter. Spending time with your loved one is far more important than the room. But gee, having a one year anniversary a week before Valentine's day... Kinda neat actually...

Richard- The gargs can certainley fly with those wingspans. My best friend Drew specializes in flying stuff, (planes usually, but he knows all about this) and he says they could full well glide with their wingspans and that carrying someone DOES create problems, but nothing they can't handle. You'll notice on occassion someone is carried by two gargoyles to distribute weight. I think its accounted for. I'm not sure what their weights are, and the trading cards aren't reliable, as they say Broadway weighs a ton in flesh... But I can believe Brooklyn weighs in around 200 lbs. or so... Demona probably weighs about what a human woman her size does, and Goliath is probably around 300. In stone characters start hitting the tons range though...

Heather- I just spoke with you, and you know that I'm happy your wrist is feeling better...

Kyryn- "That should read 'for the night' you idiots..." Its a nice start, and my 360th fanfic I've read... You've got a good start, and I want to see more...
And I fully understand not being able to produce more for a while... But my situation really stinks because I've got 20 finished fics just sitting back waiting for Demona to finish her web site...

Hi all!

I was reading a new book I got, a Time-Life book on Celtic Myth, and read something that got me thinking about TGS. The book was, at one point, talking about the prevalence of powerful 'mother deities' in Celtic myth, and their relationship with both war, as well as fertility. At one point, it mentions the Morrigan as one of these deities, and how she tried to seduce Cuchulainn. He rebuffed her advances, whereupon she became "an implacable foe" to him.

What made me think of this with relation to TGS is that in the series she's now hooked up with Maeve (who _hates_ Cuchulainn) and the Banshee (who technically hates him). Having three _very_ dangerous women who hate him working together, I'd say Rory Dugan's life is going to be getting _very_ interesting in the near future in TGS. (Translation: I _really_ wouldn't want to be in Rory's shoes right now.)

**Kyryn peers around the corner**

Just a couple of quick notes: I've put up my first fic attempt at my site. Click below and let me know whether I should duck the rotten fruit or not.

Oh, don't expect Part 2 for a while. Between Y2K stuff and other things at work, my commitment to TGS and a writer's block on a couple of scenes, it'll be awhile.

Oh, one last thing. I'm making a formal announcement since I've put down money for the spot: Okami and I are getting married on May 8 of this year! We've known each other for almost 14 years, and been dating for 13 (3 of which were long distance). We finally got the money and everything else together (sorta) and we're gonna tie the knot!

Thanks, you guys. You're great. The letter-writing campaign is kind of a neat idea, but let's hold off until AFTER I get in trouble. I'll go home in a while, take the lecture/discussion I'm sure is waiting, and get back to y'all tomorrow.

Hey all, just two quick things for now.

Friends of Deuce > I think what's needed now is an extensive e-mail letter-writing campaign. Maybe his folks could be persuaded that the people in here aren't stalkers, psychos, loonies, nutcases, or generally malevolent people. Well, most of us anyway :) Prove to them like we've proved to the Complaint Guy that we DO have lives other than the internet, we AREN'T crazy in Real Life (too much :). Can't hurt, can it? Well, maybe it can, but is it worth it? You decide, you guys have been here longer than I have.

In other news, one of my communication courses dedicates a full third of its class days to the study of social relationships on the internet. At the end of the class we'll have to write up a lengthy research paper on a topic of our choosing. I've narrowed down my topics and now I've got to decide whether to study communication in online gaming communities (like Quake)... or this room. Heh heh heh. Wonder what I'll pick :)

Later all.

Hi , everyone. Well my surgrey went fine and I have to use the computer with my left hand. The surgrey was about two hours. It was laser surgrey and after it was over I got to be hospitalized for tests and physical therphy. I'm on my dad's lap-top right now and I hope that I can get this cast off soon.

Okay, de-lurking at work is probably a bad thing, but I really can't do much else.

Deuce> Hope everything turns out all right. The way the media portrays the Net (in terms of people meeting online), I can see why your folks worry. They don't know anyone in the CR, anyway.

Alison and Brian> Happy Anniversary!!!

**Mandi waves the match holder around, and a big box wrapped in shimmering paper appears in the middle of the room.**

Hey, I didn't know it could do that...

Dark Ages> All I think I'm allowed to say is that we're still messing with DA right now.

Power Rangers vs. Gargs> You know, I liked both shows, but Gargoyles was and still is far superior. Even when PR finally started to break from that same pattern every single episode, it still didn't hold a candle to Gargoyles. (Although it's a lot easier to generate Irrational Rants about Power Rangers.) Disney's also to blame for putting Gargoyles up against Power Rangers in the first place.

Oh, my supervisor's back. Later, all!

**She waves the match holder and disappears in a shower of sparks. A disembodied voice echoes, "You know, I could find some uses for this thing..." before fading out.**

Hello everyone. I hope nobody missed me too much. I have been trying to find more ways to make money in my Services. Now I just need to het people that will listen to me meow and beg, and Thomas is Catholic, so he's out.

Falwell> That man is an idiot. I think it's appropriate that he is a regular on Geraldo Rivera's new talk show. It is amusing when he and Alan Dershowitz get into an argument, though. One day, I'm going to see Alan laugh, and that will be a sign of the apocalypse :) He does serve a purpose by making Pat Robertson look good by comparison, and I share his opinion of Larry Flynt and Bill Clinton. But Jerry is basically your standard WASP with an Oedipus Complex :)

Wilek> Stand in line. Thomas and I want to kill the poverty pimping b*st*rd too. If only JFK survived. We'd have stayed out of 'Nam (why we ever allied with France ever, I do not know. We should bomb them worse than we bombed Baghdad), there would be no Great Society and that pinko Keynesian Liberal Nixon would never have wound up in Office.

Jewell> Good luck with a job. Thomas loves his, though he hasn't started work yet. I think your website should be on the resume, but the rantings may be better mentioned in interviews if it helps you in them. Hopefully, they won't ask you about your thesis, and I hope Marv Albert never asks you about that :)

Sevarius Jr> I always thought Emmanuel Lewis was the Anti-Christ :)

About Gargoyle Gliding(Flight) --

Is it scientifically feasible based on the weight and features(wingspans) of the various gargoyles?

We have seen many of the gargoyles glide while carrying a person. Does this extra weight throw it off either?

What is the normal gargolye weight range IE what does Goliath, Brooklyn, Demona, etc weigh?

OK, kids, got a Physics midterm in a little over an hour. Time to make one last post before the big event.

TRC-- Gargs don't need sunlight for energy. Check out "The Silver Falcon". Broadway was turned to stone in a windowless building under rubble. After awakening, he didn't get any weaker.

TRC AGAIN-- Scan on Lex by the twins? Please clarify.

SABAN-- We got a lot of haters for the company here. It might not be a good time to mention, then, that UCLA is near the Saban building :P BTW, aside from live-action shows, Saban was mainly responsible for bringing out most of the anime you see on TV now (DIC does it too). If it weren't for Saban, Dragon Ball Z wouldn't make it to American shores.

SUPERMAN-- The movie is dead and it might not come back. Tim Burton and Nicholas Cage had several conflicts about it and the movie was projected as going over budget already. There were even conflicts between Tim Burton, Warner Bros. and Kevin Smith about the script. Since Warner isn't exactly doing well at the box office, they have tried to limit their big budget films to keep the studio running.

SJ-- Um, wait till Gore gets the code installed for the new room. A pic of Sevarius is already made.

ROBBY-- THe X-FIles stunt was pulled before when they showed the movie. Thing is, in a recent interview by Entertainment Weekly, Chris Carter said that he never had an intention to reveal it in the movie. However, he said this is the real thing. Time to wait and see.

SAMURAI PIZZA CATS-- Someone grab a NES emulator. During the hayday of the NES, there was a Samurai Pizza Cats game for the NES. Text was in Japanese but the game is a stright forward action title. Oh, in the game, there were 5 cats. And I got the game too. Very nice title.

DEUCE-- Good luck on your ordeals. Hope they pass soon and you get to posting here again.

FINAL THOUGHT-- I don't know, but I might clear the room by Sunday morning. I'll have to think about it. The reason I'm trying to do so? Feb 7 is Alison & I's 1 year anniversary. Cleaning up the room & posting the ep gives me one less thing to worry about as I spend the time talking to my love :)

Till next time...

I'll drop a full post a little later, but I felt I had to answer Duece's post so someone might be able to relay it before his life comes to a complete end for an indefintite time. (Yikes I remember what it was like to be grounded ... :P)

Duece, man, parents don't, as a general rule, understand this sort of thing. The better folks amke it a point to expand their horizons and at the same time trust themselves that they have raised a child responsible enough not to get himself killed. The rather paranoid stance is understandable, but certainly ignorant. Do your parents believe ~everything~ they see on television? If they do, would they ever let you go to church? Think about it ...
Ignorance is a dangerous thing. If it does not wind up hurting you yourself, it will hurt those about you, often those you care about most (anyone see American History X? I missed it)

Honestly, Duece, fighting them head on right now is the worse thing you can do. It is unjust, I'll give you that, but it sounds like your parents care alot about you in their own way, even if they can't see what their doing is hurting you right now. Generally, parents like this get guilty and reflective if you keep the event in their minds, but out of confrontation. What really naws at them is if you can obviously prove, without comfrontation, that you are responsible and capable of keeping yourself safe, as well as using the internet as the valuable resource that it is.

I will express to you again that confrontation is not usually a good place to resolve things with stubborn parental units. They tend to get overly emotional quickly and deaf to what you are saying. Instead, everything you say gets a negative instinctual reaction because you are being 'disrespectful.' It is certainly true that in this case, actions speak louder than words.

My last advice is to stay clear of doing anything dramatic that could set them off as a protest. Then they will really doubt your responsibility. Don't ex[ect to be treated like an adult in a confrontational conversation (aka lecture) but make sure that it is clear that you are acting like a mature and responsible adult arround them. It worked in my family, but I offer no guarenties. (Might I also add that it works better if you have no younger sibblings) I'm just giving you the best advice I can.

May the Light shine ever on thy Path,

Attention everyone, I am posting this as a courtesy to Deuce , since he can't.

Hey guys,

In case you couldn't quite guess, this is Deuce from the CR. I would
post this there, but for reasons that will become clear, I can't.

My parents are quite paranoid about the Internet and the people on it.
They don't approve of chat rooms and comments boards, up to and
including the TGS CR. I've only rarely mentioned my "second home" to
my parents, and they treated the entire concept with disapproval. As
far as they're concerned, only weird pedophiliac losers without lives
frequent these places. They cannont be dissuaded from this POV.

Last night, my dad caught me attempting to post to the CR, using the
family's Internet time, which I'm generally not allowed to use. My dad
read most of the room, including my posts, and finished with "we'll
talk about this later, in private". We haven't yet.

Worst case and most likely scenario so far is me being severely
grounded from the computer and the Internet, possibly calling the
school to revoke my 'net privileges at school, and a definite ban from
the CR. In all reality, I've probably made my last post.

I feel sick to my stomach about all this. My parents refuse to
understand my position, and any explanations about the true nature of
the CR and its occupants will fall on deaf ears.

I'm gonna miss you guys. And hey, this may just be a small thing, and
I'll be back tomorrow... or maybe I need treatment for my delusions.

This message is going out to Robby, Coyote, Doug, Green Baron,
Kitainia, Kyryn, SJ, Heather and DumlaoX. If I've missed anybody you
think should get this, feel free to forward it.

Damn, I'm out of time. Bye!

Love you all,

Deuce

**RP ACTION**

The screen comes on with Kitainia's group heading for Las Vegas (20 miles to go). Gubio, who is hacking on his laptop and talking to Janice and Kenny in the back, gets Kitainia's attention. "Hey, Kit!" he says. "Yeah?" "I found out some data about that law firm we're going up against. Do you know how ruthless they are? They never settle cases out of court unless the settlement is more than a billion bucks. And just about every lawyer who's defeated them in court has mysteriously died." "Now I know why you really hired me," Kenny pouts. "My fees are going up." Kitainia sighs. "We'll never be able to pay those guys off. What do we do?" "I have a plan," Gubio says. "I'll explain once we get to the hotel, hope it works." "Okay," Kitainia says. "In the meantime, I'm going to try and lose those guys following us." "I'll do it!" Traveler shouts. "Nobody can keep up with my driving!!!" "Alright," Kitainia says, letting him take the wheel. Everyone gets strapped in and the car jets off down the roadway. Kitainia ignores Traveler's constant weaving and shaking while she makes a CR post.

**PAUSE RP**

Welcome to the CR Trey and Story.

Samurai Pizza Cats- I used to watch that show. Best thing Saban's ever done, it was hilarious. I liked the ninja crows the best (they may show up in the RP sometime).

The Rock: Yep, that's a good movie. I especially like Nicolas Cage's speechs to Mason when he's in the cell and to the guy who puts a gun to his head. "Glass or plastic?" LOL! Connery did a good job in there, too. I think it's the best movie he's done recently. (Avengers sucked bigtime.)

Saban: I don't like them much, but I don't think they're the Antichrist. A company whose shows get more credit and viewers than they should, yes, but nothing worse than that.
One thing I've noticed about Gargs: A lot of the time, the clan's adversaries are very much like the show's real enemies. Example- the Pack was on a show a lot like Power Rangers, and they upgrade themselves like the PRs do to face their enemies. Also, in TGS we have a bad corporate clone mouse guy (the great corporate mouse, Disney, cancelled Gargs). I doubt they're intentional or anything, but these similarities must be noted. They do exist. (No, I don't think we should give up Garlon or the Pack because of them, I'm just pointing them out. I think the Pack and Garlon are good villains, I wouldn't trade them for anybody else.) Spekaing of which, whatever happened to Lobo and Coyote 6.0? We haven't seen anything of them since Season 1.

Christine: Doug did all the work, you'll just be paying him, so the labor charges aren't that bad. Hope Tim likes the gift, please let us know when you get it.

Deuce: Glad you like this place so much. I too feel the same way about it even though I have so many places that represent the same things IRL.

Green Baron: Congrats on your new job. Hope it doesn't keep you away from the CR too much.

TRC: Welcome back to you, too. I completely agree with you about children choosing their own paths and parents helping them walk it instead of choosing it for them.

Cartoon Voting: We don't vote again for a while. I just checked that site, and was unable to believe Underdog beat Simpsons. Simpsons is such a better show with way more interesting characters and plots. Oh well, at least Gargs won't have to go up against it later. I'll look on the bright side.

Falwell: You know, I read today that he apologized for his Antichrist comments, saying he should have known better. Now I'm even more convinced the guy is just a selfish dumb@$$ prick. Surprised lots of people listen to him, and elected so many of his fellow SDPs to Congress. Sigh.

Lawrence: Bad Girls, huh? I can hardly wait. Thanks for the forewarning.

Estra: Last post? Why, have you stopped liking this place all of a sudden or something? Please don't go. Or if you have to, at least explain your reasons.

Mulan: I like that movie, too. The girl and dragon are very good role models, so is Shang. The villain is also a great character, Doug and I liked him very much. It is certainly one of Disney's best.

Nicolas Cage: Can't see him as Superman, but he is still a great actor. And a handsome one. <grin>

That's all for now. Later!

**MORE RP**

Traveler finally stops whizzing around and pulls the car to a stop. "Whoo!" Kitainia and everyone else shakes their head to clear it and stare at him in open shock. "Where did you learn to drive like that?" Tricia asks, seeing that Jerry and Tom are now no longer behind them, and Traveler was able to drive twenty miles at 200 mph or more like a crazed drunk maniac without hitting anyone. "What does it matter?" Traveler shrugs, pointing to the city limits sign above them and the buildings farther down the road. "We're in Las Vegas now!! Whoo!!" He guns the engine again and zips down the road, heading for the hotel at Kitainia's instructions.
Meanwhile, farther back down the road, Jerry and Tom sit in their dust-covered Range Rover and look at each other. "Jesus," Jerry says, "that guy was one speed demon." "Literally if he's hanging out with your old girlfriend," Tom nods. "Seeing as she's been posessed by one." "But how do we find them now? They got away so fast!" "Hang on, Jerry, you're forgetting that homing device I stuck on their wheels back at the Comment Room." Tom grins, turns it on, and the two born-again jerk/pranksters once again start heading for Las Vegas. To be continued.

By the way had Did you memorize the opening song?? Now its going to be running around in my head AaaaaHaaaa

Cage as supe>After watching con air when he took a bullet and the look on his face as he kept going, I could see him as superman. I had the wonderful opportunity to meet one of the guy in charge of the dc movie department (I forgot what he did) and bitch him out about Burton directing Superman. he was trying to pick up a chick and when I was finished with him she started on him hehehehe Revenge is sweet.

**Chuckles** Oii, that scene in Mulan is so funny! Which one? Well, pick! There's great lines throughout the movie! And heck, its just a plain out great movie. Great villain, songs that while they suck at first grow on you after a while, great leads, humor that is still great on multiple viewings, action, adventure, fighting, a bit of romance... One of Disney's very best, and to those of you haven't seen it yet, shame on you. I rate it better than The Lion King and Aladdin, and coming from me, thats saying something. (Of course, I've seen them fifty times... This may change after I've seen Mulan a bit more)

Tarzan- Actually, I'm kinda interested in this now that I've seen a preview. Looks to be a cross of the Jungle Book, the 90's, a couple of Lion Kingish personalities, with a bit of Beauty and the Beast mixed in, as well as some nice animation. Should be good... Of course, Tarzan's costume is certainly going to cause a couple of people to throw hissy fits. Why? Its a loin cloth and nothing else. A very short loin cloth.

Lexy- Hmm... Cool lyrics. I doubt anyone is going to lynch you for it. If anyone is going to get in trouble its gonna be me for putting down the nearly complete lyrics to "Yakko Warner's The Nations of the World"...

James- The best garg site for sound clips to my knowledge is the Avalon archive... But I have no clue what the addy is, I have it on my other computer... I'll get back to you on that, unless someone else can come up with it first... In the meantime, click my name and it should send you to a spot with a enough stuff to tide you over... You'll like Eric's Gargoyle page, it has a short movie clip with Macbeth...

And thanks for aknowledging the Brain sound clip, I thought it added something special to my RP...

Wilek- I memorized that the way anyone memorizes anything... I went over it a lot. ANd I did it pretty much the way Jill did... I taped it and wrote down the lyrics after pining over my textbook... Though I once knew it in its entirety, I blanked on a few spots earlier, (Thats what the stars were for) and some of the spellings are wrong. Add to that the fact that I had to learn every nation in the world for World Geography class anyway, and well... However, I used to be able to do it at Yakko levels of speed, and probably could again if I practice... Hmm... (Incidentally, Wakko's states and their capitols is another one I've memorized... ALong with just about every other Animaniacs tune. Depraved ain't it?)

Also, you spewed out a few latin words. Do those mean anything or were you just typing out what sounded cool?

The party- Since people are having fun, and others are just arriving, I'll take it a bit longer than I had planned to... How about February 14th? Hopefully the significance of that date is not lost on any of you...

"There's a couple of things they're bound to notice!" -Mushu... (You'll understand when you see it...)

Don't really have time for a REAL post; I haven't for the past few or 6 days or so, but, tomorrow, maybe.

Robby> I *TOO* once knew all the words to Yakko's Countries of the World Song. My mother made my sister and I sing it together (not quite up to speed, though) when she had company over, for some reason...it's really not that entertaining - I mean, us singing. Now Yakko pretty much doing anything was entertaining in my book =o). At first (in the prehistoric days, before I had a modem), I recorded it, whipped out my almanac and figured it out myself. I did okay, but those were the magical care-free days before Global Studies... but then I got internet access and filled in the blanks.. ahh, memories!
Too bad Gargoyles didn't really have any catchy songs I could sing...hmmm...


*And remember: Yakko spelled backwards is Okkay!*

****END SHORT RP!!!****

The Rolling Calf- I guess we'll just have to see. Personally I hope he ends up with a mate.

Coyote-You think that's a bad song. I once had this very sad country song in my head, for two days, TWO DAYS, I was so depressed. There have been times when it's really quiet that I can actually hear the song as if it were being played on the radio. Sometimes it's so bad I can't even sleep.
Oh and let me guess about the card...Queen of Diamonds? Or how about Ace of Spades

Wilek Nereus-Wait one sec. What was that about the Power Rangers is what killed the Gargs? How can anyone pick them over the Gargoyles? Has the planet gone mad?

Cage as Supes-I too wasn't too sure about Cage being Superman, but since Dean Cain was Superman in Lois and Clark I guess people thought that someone else should do it. Wasn't that Superman movie cancelled? I hope it's not but I havn't heard anything about for awhile.

Cartoon voting-does anyone know when we are supposed to vote again for best cartoon?

Well I'm off to sleep. See ya!

Hey all,

Coyote > Uhhh, six of diamonds?

Estra > Last post? Why?

SJ > Vanessa's on 90210 now. Not that I watch it, but my roommate does. :) And about VX (the gas they used in the movie) - it really does exist, but it doesn't melt your skin off. Everything else they said about it in the movie was more or less accurate, except for the fact that had they taken the atropine in the heart in the beginning of the movie (in the tank), they would have died. It only works after you've been affected by the gas.

Oh, and Nick Cage/Superman - NO. That role should remain empty after Christopher Reeve.

Wilek > Nope, I'm not sick anymore, thankfully. I guess the orange-honey tea did the trick.

**PARTY RP! APOLOGIES, BUT MY PARTY RP'S ARE GOING TO BE KINDA LONG FROM HERE ON OUT, SINCE THERE'S A LOT i WANT TO DO AND I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I HAVE TO DO IT IN**

[At the party, Dark Mage Wilek's Cabal friend Gabriella joins Jake, Teri, Caleb, Londo Mollari, and Count Dracula at the bar. Londo: "May I buy you a drink, miss?" Gabby: "Bite me, nightmare hair." Drac: "May I bite you when he's done?" Before Gabby can respond, someone taps Dracula on the shoulder. "Father, do be on your best behavior tonight. Villains aren't allowed to cause trouble at these parties, and I don't want to have to eject you." Drac: "Really, Alucard. Who made you the bouncer anyhow?" Al: <flashes a badge> "Mr. Noying did." Drac: "Hm..." Gabby: "Barkeep! A round of your finest Romulan ale!" Quark: "Are you sure? That stuff's pretty intoxic--" Caleb: <grabs Quark by the throat> "You heard the lady! Ale! Now! Or I'll pull off yer ears and use 'em for skeet shootin'!" Quark: "OK, OK. Yeesh."]

**PAUSE RP!**

Steve> Ack, you're sick too?! What's going on? Is something infecting every living thing on this side of the multiverse?!

So Power Rangers is what killed Gargs. Hm...DM? [DMW: "Pestis cruento domus praaNsilenux, hatanoceo cruensseasrjit cruento pestis Shatruex!"] Thank you, DM. 3...2...1... [Horrifying screams are heard from the general direction of the Saban studios.] Haim Saban was just torn apart by demons. Have a nice day.

Kaioto> ROTFL!

Robby> <<I guess he likes visiting you, huh?>> <grr> So I've noticed. He and I still have some unresolved issues, but I won't....resolve them...until the party's over, since my party RP's are going to be long enough as it is. And the countries thing...HOW THE [censored censored] DID YOU MEMORIZE ALL THAT [censored]?!!

Deuce> Puck's 'message'...ROTFL again! And I'm glad you consider us all friends. ^_^

TRC> Welcome back! <<Why not just name the Chest buster Weasel.>> Hey...great idea! Why didn't I think of that...

Story> Welcome! And don't worry about that thing slithering around behind you; that's our pet chestburster Weasel. (Great name TRC!)

LBJ hung his dog by the EARS?! <grr> If he weren't already dead I'd kill him. $Maybe the Masked Lich should resurrect him so I can kill him. Oh, ML is dead. Never mind.$

I ALWAYS have music stuck in my head, but I have enough control over it that it's always kewl music. And not necessarily songs I've heard either, I can just make stuff up to hear in my mind.

Lexy> The spellings are Speedy Service (Italian pronunciation) and Guido Anchovy; you got all the others right (except it's 'cue', not 'q'.) Glad to be of help. :) How did you remember that whole song anyhow?!

**RESUME PARTY RP!**

[The occupants of the bar are now roaring drunk, except for Jake who's passed out. No one's sure what started it, but suddenly Teri and Gabriella get into a fight, as Londo, Drac, and Quark exchange bets on who'll win and the rest of the crowd gathers around to watch. The combatants realize they've become the entertainment...Teri: "What's <hic> this all about?" Gabby: "Yeah, you think <hic> we're here to amuse you yokels?" They then begin attacking the party guests--but none of the CR posters, unless they want to join in--and Drac, Caleb, and Londo join the fray, mostly because they're stupid when they're drunk.]

"How many men does it take to deliver a message?" Just finished Mulan, and thats STILL one of the coolest lines ever... It was as good as the four times in the theater, but I've seen it enough to recognize some of the stuff cut off the sides... Why doesn't Disney ever do easy to find widescreen editions? Ah well, next week... ANTZ...

Stupid songs in your head all day- Happens to me all the time, and they aren't always stupid. The song that has no end, Hakuna Matata, the Road Rovers theme, Star Wars theme, Gargs themes are general culprits of this...

TRC- Hyenas took a guys shoe and bought it? Didn't kniow they had currency...

SJ, Coyote- Ack! That's scary! Two is the number I was thinking off! Ahhhhh! Scary!

And Saban is not the anticrist, they DID bring out that ninja turtles series... Wait, and then they screwed it up... Never mind...

Batman Beyond is on your local WB affiliate.

Deacue- Owen's relayed message from Puck... Sorta works, but just a tad too out of character... A bit funny though.

GB- So THAT's the similarity between Scar and LBJ... It all makes sense now!

Stormy- Yeah, I'd be wondering about the water too...

Ironwolf- Its not specifically a Superbowl party. Its one of Jim's. The Superbowl was just an excuse to throw one. And due to compressed CR time, despite starting a week early, and how its going to end a week or two late, the whole event will still be in one night... Fun fun...

Xanatos in armor- He always looked so good in armor...

Doug- I never rate stories by stars, its demeaning and not at all helpful to the writer. If they ask me for help or advice, I give it, some times in depth if they ask for that. So it must have been someone else who gave it five stars...

James- You might be getting a little too much into character... Not a bad thing really, but still...

Samurai pizza cats- I only saw one episode of that show, and I like it. Then it was pulled off here...

ROB PAULSEN WAS ON THE DONNIE AND MARIE SHOW AND I MISSED IT? ARRRRRG! Of course, I'd never watch that show for anything BUT a voice actor... Like the one time Good Morning America had Jim Cummings and he conffessed making 20 to 30 stops around various studios a DAY.

Why is it no one else seems worked up by the Superbowl announcement that the X-Files will supposedly be revealing everything over the next two episodes? Oh, because its probably just shameless, untruthful advertising...

Nicholas cage as Superman- SHUDDER! I saw a mock of Wizard take on that where they pasted Cage's head on Christopher Reeve's old body... Egads that was scary... Cage is going bald, has the wrong nose, permanent circles under his eyes and can't get a clean shave for pete's sake... He couldn't have, and SHOULDN'T play Supes... I said that much months ago, and I stand by it. If it weren't for Reeve's condition, he's STILL be perfect. Maybe Dean Cain, but NOT Cage... Eeesh...

Coyote- Um... Haven't ever seen all of Starship Troopers so I don't get the reference. Um... King of diamonds?

And that "I'm the baby" song was also danged addictive...

** JIM'S PARTY **

Rob Paulsen has just arrived, and Jim pulled his attention away from Demona to begin bugging him.
"Please?"
"No, I won't do it."
"Come on..." The talented voice actor sighs.
"All right," he starts in the voice of Yakko Warner. (I'm doing this from memory, so excuse me if I miss a few...)

"United States, Canada, Mexico,Panama, Haiti, Jamaca, Peru, Republic Dominican, Cuba, Carribean, Greenland, El Savador too. Puerto Rico, COlumbia, Venezuela, Hondura, Guyana, and still, Guatemale, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Bermuda, Bahamas, Tabago, San Juan, Paruguay, Uraguay, Surinam, and French Guiana, Barbados, and Guam...

Norway, and Sweden, and Iceland, and Finland, and Germany now one piece, Switzerland, Austria, Czechoslavakia, Italy, Turkey and Greece! Poland Romania, Scotland, ALbania, Ireland, Russia, Oman... Bulgaria, Saudi Arabia, Cyprus, Iraq and Iran! There's Syria, Lebanon, Israel , Jordon, ********, Kuwait and Barain,The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium and Portugal, France, England, Denmark and Spain!

**RP!!**

**The screen lights up to reveal ... Charlotte (Ravyn's semi-Borgified car) zooming into the heart of Jim's back yard with Ravyn and Coyote in the front seats (Ravyn behind the wheel). The tank, meanwhile, has found its way to the middle of the field.**

HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!!

**The hatch opens up. Tank Girl and Jason stick their heads up.**

<"WHAAAT?!">

**Charlotte pulls up aongside the tank.**

Bring that tank back! It's mine!

<"But the paint job's MINE!">

Who asked you to paint it, anyway?!

<"The tank did. It was just screaming, 'REDECORATE ME!'">

**PAUSE RP!!**

Lexy: I would theorize, then, that he's slightly younger than Brooklyn and Broadway, but not appreciably so until Brooklyn TimeDances for 40 years.
Of course, you don't want to hear my theory ... that Lex may be a victim of arrested development due to a (possible) genetic mutation. Not that it causes his wing type to be rare (I think of that as a recessive gene), but it may be a peculiarity in his genetics, or difficulty in birth, or environmental factors, or whatever which leave him shorter than his brothers and seemingly younger, though he should mature at the same rate.
Of course, that's just my opinion. Take it with a grain of Mrs. Dash. :)

Robby: The number is ... 2.141592648 (exactly one less than Pi.) ;)
Oops, that isn't whole, is it? Well then, I'll just go with two along with SJ.
Here's a true test of thinking alike ... I'm thinking of a particular card in a pack of standard (52) playing cards. Let's see how many folks in here pick up on it. (BTW, just viewed my recently-acquired copy of "Starship Troopers," that's where this is coming from.)

Jaden: You want *stupid?* How does "infantile" sound, is that close?
Today at work, the song I couldn't pry out of my head was ... please don't laugh ... "I'm the Baby" from the "Dinosaurs BIG SONGS" album. :P

Deuce: Hmm ... somehow I can't really picture Owen flipping off the Weird Sisters ...

Green Baron, re LBJ: <claps> BRAVO!
Incidentally, he was a jerk to his dog, too. Hanging that poor animal by its ears ... how simply cruel!

Story: Welcome.

TRC: Umm ... in your curse of Fox, did you intend to place the names of two competing networks as the opening? (PAX, UPN)
Even if you didn't it made for an interesting image. :)

**RESUME RP!**

Okay, guys, I think she's worn out her welcome. Care to send her home, Jason?

<"Well ... I dunno ... we're kinda enjoying her company ...">

Oh, sure. **hands the cellphone to Ravyn** Care to do the honors?

<"Ohh yeah!">

**Ravyn grins widely as she manipulates the cellphone. The transporter starts up again and sends Tank Girl back to her own dimension. The Broncos and Vikings cheer loudly.**

Well now, that little fiasco's been avoided ... bring the tank back up!

<"Right, boss.">

**The tank backs up, away from the field. Unfortunately, it's left huge tracks on the 45-yard lines, which only makes the field even more interesting to play on. Charlotte, by this time, has parked herself back over where she was. Coyote and Ravyn have already gotten out.**

Now then ... let's get back to the party while there's still a party to be gotten back to!

<"Right on!">

**Coyote and Ravyn re-enter the mansion as the screen winks off.**

Knew I forgot something...NICHOLAS CAGE IS NO SUPERMAN. Ys, he can act amazingly well. But he is no more Superman than George Clooney was Batman (Can you say, "monstrous casting mistake," boys and girls? I knew you could.)

Terry Gilliam: Actually, the reason why, I heard, that the "Watchmen" movie fell through was because the writer said to him, "If you value my friendship, *please* do not make this movie." because the script had been so butchered. But I am looking forward to him directing a "Good Omens" movie...

The new job: Arrrgh. I discovered what the extra responsibilities mean. It means the full time staff e-mail me in a panic when something doesn't seem to work right, never mind the Imaging computers have never been sane. <g> Although it should say something that the professional staff are e-mailing their student workers for help...

Tomorrow I go to the Career Development Office to have my resume and cover letters shredded to bits so they look better. At least the lady I see tomorrow already gave me back my resume and said my computer experience was "excellent." Still, I'm rather confused because I think she wants me to put my "Rantings of a Middle Class Oreo" site on my resume, and something tells me that might not be the wisest of ideas...

Thanks to all y'all who said nice stuff about my fanfic. =) I have no clue when the next one will come out, thanks to the semester starting and the work already piling up. "And I'll Never Need a Lie" has about 25 pages so far but is still completely unfinished.

Rolling Calf: My idea of Davida/Belinda was that she have more power than any mortal being should--I planned her to be almost a Mary Sue on purpose--she was to be her own greatest fault, and to show whay happens when someone *is* all powerful and they don't have any checks on their power. It's also what, I suppose ultimately, "Apokalypis" is about--after all, who has fewer checks on their own power and the responsibiliies that go with those powers than the fae?

SJ : I agree whole heartedly on the Superman issue , I just could not see Cage in tights and a cape , the man is just not right , he does'nt have the look , he does'nt have the appearance , that nose alone should have ruled him out .

Brimstone - A PAX , A PAX UPN ALL THOSE INSIPID MORTALS WHO DARE TO CANCEL THIS SHOW may the men be castrated and the women wither into decayed , ancient forms and may they all contract a scorching case of herpes and syphillis , and then some . ITS 113 SOLES FOR HEAVEN SAKE , this is just like Black Jack the savage , they had to attone for 100 souls they made 85 at most , then they cut it like it was nothing . Ezekiel Stone is such a cool name too . Anyone else notice that tank girl is the girl at the desk , and that she plays "Live Wire" in the Superman cartoon .

Hi, everybody. I lurk here sometimes during my work break and just had to say that I agree with Sevarius Jr. I was beginning to think I was the only person that thought Cage would have made a terriable Superman. He's a great actor, just not the Superman type.

Robby: Hmm....a number between 1 and 3, huh? Well.....I'm tuning in my psychic abilities.....oooooommmmmmmm........I see a...a TWO! Am I right?

Dumlao: Hey, can we request pics? If so, I'd like a pic of my dad that actually works! The other CR has one, so why not here?

Teachers: Being a geneticist, if I didn't like a teacher, I could always just turn them into a hamster.
Seriously, I was pretty lucky. Most of the teachers I had in high school were very caring about their students, and didn't try to stifle them or make them fit in one particular mold. But I went to a strict school, so the students knew better than to get *too* out of line. Still, my teachers were pretty okay......although one of them was arrested and served jail time for having sex with some of the students. But that's a whole other story.....

The Rock: Boys, boys! You're forgetting the best part of the Rock--Vanessa Marcil! She's one of the most beautiful creatures on this earth.....I hate soap operas, but I would occasionally watch General Hospital just to catch a glimpse of her.
But that movie was quite goo, in my opinion. Better than "Con Air" but not quite as good (IMHO) as "Face Off" on the Nic Cage actionmovie-o-meter. (On a side note, am I the only one in here who thought Cage would have made a horrible Superman?) Plus I liked the idea of a nerve gas that could melt your skin off. And it even had Tony Todd in it as one of the evil soldiers! (Tony Todd played the Candyman, which is the best Barker movie IMO, and has been a guest star on Star Trek numerous times as Worf's brother.)

WARNING: RANT COMING
Power Rangers: Forget Marilyn Manson, I think Saban is the Antichrist (can you back me up, Mr. Falwell?) He's certainly the Antichrist of kid's entertainment; he destroys that which is good, and replaces it with evil. Power Rangers was one of the WORST shows I've ever seen (I hate to admit even watching some of it when I was younger). And, like Gooch said, it killed the Gargoyles! What does he have on TV now? "Msytic Nights of Tir Na Noogie". As someone put it, a bad D & D ripoff. I've never seen it--the commercials are enough to turn me off. He's also the genius that brought us "VR Troopers." Remember that show? Possibly worse than PR.
The only decent show they put on was "Samurai Pizza Kats." It was kinda cute, with all these little cats dressed in samurai outfits, who owned a pizza place. They fought a bunch of equally cute little crows. It was amusing. Anyone ever catch this?
So, to sum up my thoughts, I hope that Saban suffers dearly for depriving us of one of the best 'toons--heck, best shows, period--ever. Perhaps a very painful rash in his underpants, that *never* goes away.
END RANT

Rob Paulsen: I talked to my mom today, and she told me that a few days ago she had been watching "The Donnie and Marie Show", and Rob was a guest. I missed it! (BTW.....no disrespect to Rob, but you know you're talk show's going downhill when you start having voice actors as guests instead of bigscreen movie actors...)

Batman Beyond: I don't think it's quite fair to brand Inque as a Clayface rip-off. As for Derek Powers....well, I'll admit, he's a bit of a Luthor-clone, but I like the new "I'm really a glowing green skeleton" development they got going. Besides, this is only the second episode. I'll have to see the remainder of the season to give my final verdict.
But so far, I'm viewing the show as totally different than Batman. I'm digging it--but so far I'm just seeing it as a cool new show that just happens to have Batman characters in it. (Totally off topic, I found a really cool Batman 'Pez' dispenser in the grocery store today! I know....I'm a freak. Help me?)

Deuce: *SJ blinks, rubs his eyes, blinks again* 450 WORDS IN ONLY 2 AND 1/2 HOURS???? I'm lucky to finish that in TWO WEEKS.
Oh, and liked the "finger" bit. ROTFLMAO

TRC: Did you see the same Discovery special I did? Hyenas are cool, man! I must admit, when I saw how hard those little guys worked just to make a kill, and then the lions came along and bullied them away for the meal....I was a little peeved. Hakuna mutata my ass, the lions are jerks!

****SUPERBOWL BIT***
SJ and Kari, now reconciled and enjoying each other's company, join in on the constantly growing group gathered around Demona, who's still telling all her dirty little secrets--all 1,000 years worth.
It comes SJ's turn to ask a question. "Demmie...I can call you Demmie, right? Demmie, do you fine me attractive?"
"No. Not at all."
"Oh." SJ frowns, a derpressed look on his face.
"Well....maybe with a new haircut."
SJ's face brightens up.....

**PARTY RP**
TRC approaches the outside of the mansion . He has has put away his regular garb and is dressed in black jeans , hi trench a pair of sunglasses , army boots and a blue T-shirt . He observes the force field as well as the Rangers futile attempts to get passed it . TRC -"Well that certainly is patheitc ." he then makes a cutting motion with his hand ,
resulting in his standard port sequence as he steps through .

(Inside The mansion )
TRC enters throught the port , observes all that is happening , he greets his friends , acknowledges the people he does'nt know and walks over to the bar where Mr. DC is having a drink , he pretends to accidently brush DC , as DC looks a TRC and prepares a thorough reprimand , TRC apologises and starts a conversation to keep him from noticing the tablet disolving in his drink .
**PAUSE RP**

Yo , da Calf be back .

How you doin , I missed y'all . (slaps self) Sorry , just listened to a Jeff Foxworthy CD and am suffering the side effects . I kept my promise and made a list of everything that I wanted to say . So do'nt be suprised if some of this stuff is a little , or very , outdated . I also took so long to get back into the room because I lagged behind a tad and the Server was not in a cooperative mood .

Carolyn : I do'nt know if you're still having trouble with that thief , but if you are , how about trying a pressure sensitive , explosive powder , it's rather harmless unless your incredibly sensitive to loud noise , and I have a formulae for a small batch . Of course it is also applicable in the "Mischief Maker's " department .

Argent : I too must confess to having a small Pokemon obsession . My favourite happens to be Primape .

Heather : Hope the surgery goes / has gone OK .

Kaioto : I agree with what you said about human faith . I would comment further on this but I'd end up talking about human nature and I would undoubtedly offend someone .

Jilly Bean : Happy , veeeeeery , belated Birthday .

New Posters : Welcome to the CR , hope you like it here enough to stay on . Of course you do'nt really have a choice but its nice when our captives do'nt mind .

Jewel : Let me just start off by saying that I thoroughly enjoy your writing and am sorry that you have decided to discontinue the series , but as they say , when the stories done , close the book . That aside , I find you do a good job with toying , manipulating , guiding , and generally messing with my emotions . You also do an exceptional job of developing the characters . Though it was irritating to have to read so many stories to have the faintest idea of what's going on with some of the characters which you have incorporated into your stories from others . Another thing that got to me was that "destroy the world with a thought" power level that you gave to Davida . But you are'nt he only one who's done it so no worries .

Todd : I did'nt even notice the visuals of the name(Speed Bump) until you mentioned it , but once I did , I fell out of my chair laughing . This of course led to some guilt given that I am an animal lover .

Twisticats : I hope that they get mail bombed over this travesty that they call breeding . As far as I'm concerned they might as well be performing vivisection on the poor things for all the misery it is going to cause them , this is just another version of genetic engineering that is less costly and less specific . SICKENING . I have to go and wash out my mouth .

TaleWeaver : I think that Genetic engineering should be viewed in all lights as of right now . Later it may be too late to do anything about it . Procrastination could cost humanity even more in this and many other cases . So much misery might have been avoided if the effects of many of the things that have integrated themselves into our society today could have been prevented had they been researched thoroughly .

Kitainia : I agree whole heartedly with all that you said on on the issue of Children / Parent realationships . If what you said is any indication your well on your way to becomming a great counsellor . Best wishes in that and all of your undertakings . My personal opinnion is that a child must choose his or her own path and the parents are merely there to guide them along THAT path , and not one of their choosing .

Jackal : I do not view you as a bad person , truth be told I view very few people as bad . I believe that there is only one or two cases of clear cut good and evil . I have good friends that smoke weed (c'mon I'm in JAMIACA , one of the main suppliers of Ganja , I heard that one real idiot tried to smuggle ganla INTO Jamaica , needless to say I was ROTFLMAO ). I do'nt judge , I just leave them to make their decisions , and hope they do'nt suffer the repercussions . I also believe that having children so young is'nt too smart , but if you can care for them properly , then there's nothing wrong .

Wilek : Why not just name the Chest buster Weasel .

Mandi : I really liked Kevin Kline in "A Fish Called Wanda" too , he really is a good actor , there was also good Chemistry between the actors too , thats probably why I liked"Fierce Creatures " so much . I also loved the Chemistry between him and Sigourney Weaver . Have you had your Wisdom teeth out yet ?

Jaden : I do'nt think that Brooklyn knows what will happen with Lex , or if he does , I do'nt think that Lex ended up with a mate . That phrase could have meant alot of different things .

TGS : Why did'nt you tell us the result of the Twins' scan on Lex , when they first got back , I was re-reading some of the episodes and I came across this unresolved issue .

Green Baron : Hyenas are NOT just scavengers , they also hunt , alot of the time THEY are the ones that make the the kill and the LIONS steal the kill , leaving the Hyenas with whatever remains . It irritates me to no end that Hyenas got such a bad representation in the movie , that really is the only part about Lion King that I did'nt like . Hyenas are some of the most interesting animals on the African plains . The movie will only increase the bad image of Hyenas , one researcher let a bunsh of Hyenas get right up to his prone form and they did nothing to him (other than take his shoe and buy it ) , mind you they were'nt hungry , but a lion will run away around a human or attack .

Christine : You are _very_ lucky , I would do alot for a cell like that , sadly I ca'nt get to any around here and I do'nt have the money , when I was in Downtown Disney , I could have purchased an AWESOME sketch of Demona , among other great stuff like cells , but sadly it would have taken up most of my spending cash and I still had a lot of stuff to bye
.
Doug : Could I have a description of your Dragons as well , I'd like to try something like that since I have'nt done anything of the sort for almost a year now .

This has been on my mind for a little while now so pardon me as I unload my Burden : Some have said that TGS has'nt covered the characters of the origional Gargoyles very accurately , I'd just like to voice my opinion that this is supposed to happen , the Gargoyles have changed in the couple of years since Hunter's Moon , that event as well as all of those that have happened since then MUST have changed the character in some way , a little more open , a little less trusting , a little more relaxed , the story would not be as realistic if this was'nt the case . I feel that those one or two stories in which the character remained adamant in the old ways (IMO) were less TGS than the others that have endured some change . No offense was intended here and this is my honest opinion .

ZMUD : What was the name of this Gargoyle realm again , I ca'nt remember or find the post .

The Daily Show : I prefer Stewart over Kopple , I never watched it when the latter was the anchorman but dcided to give it a try after I saw the commercials that Stewart did . Now I watch it at every chance I get .

Who Could Play Sarah in a movie : This is for personal reasons and I believe she could do it well , but I'd like to see someone like Winnona Ryder fill that roll .

Who Could PLay Morgan : I think Danny Glover could play that roll fairly well .

Gargs and sunlight : Do'nt Gargs need sunlight for their energy , if they were in a sunless condition before they woke up they should be considerably weeker upon waking .
**RESUME PARTY RP**
TRC walks away from MR. Dis Connect as he takes a sip of his drink and then polishes it off with one more gulp , Dis then falls to the floor writhing in agony and clutching his thrat as the caustc soda begins to burn his throat tongue and gullet , followed by a very violent reaction with his stomach when the tablet is dissoved away to reveal anothe vial of chemicals that causes the acid to become far more concentrated and eat through his stomach and internal organs .
TRC looks back at his handy work and smiles at Kenny , the message is clear "Your next ."
TRC then walks over to Demonas confession and pulls up a seat . After listening to the confessions for a while he pulls a parcel out of his bag and starts to crush some scotch bonnet eppers in preparation for his next bout of revenge against DC .

I have access to some gargoyles cels I could buy if I thought I could resell them. So I'm prodding around all the major garg chat spots to find out if there's any interest in cel buying. We're talking $50 - $200 range. I have not actually bought any cels, I just have access and it seems to me that there aren't many cels out there, so I thought I could spread the wealth. Please if you're interested, email me at the address included w/this post. If I don't get any feedback, I'll forget the whole thing.

I had this really weird daydream today. I went to The Gathering dressed as MacBeth and I saw someone in the alleyway beating up a person dressed as Demona so naturally I acted like each blow hit me as well as her cause I'm a sticker for staying in character you see. Later after the police catch the beater I'm given an award for my acting which alerted the others to call the police. Probably to sent a paddy wagon cause I look insane taking punches and kicks from an unknown source but luckily I became a hero not a guy thrown into a padded room for my dramatics. :P

**RP BEGINS HERE**

The screen comes on with the interior of Bucharev's sporting goods factory. A large group of illegal immigrant workers is heading back in from its coffee break, herded by the Overseer robots and several goons wielding electroshock prods. Among the group are Doug and all those who are with him (except for Shap, who remained outside to explain everything to the people they're rescuing once they get teleported out), disguised as workers and moving quickly so as not to get stabbed. Lathrop notes which workers are Boris's relatives and plants some teleportation stones in their pockets when he brushes close. As soon as they reach the assembly line and get to work, Doug turns from the basketball he's sewing together to address the Comment Room.

**PAUSE RP**

$ Okay, we're in. As soon as I make this post, we attack! $

Trey: Welcome to the Comment Room. Remember to check your sanity at the door, or you will quickly lose it here. :)

Ironwolf: I wish I'd had a teacher like that, I had to do all my flirting outside class or I'd get in trouble <grin>. A lot of my teachers were like Kitainia's, but there were a few good apples who did encourage my creativity and full potential. Like Mr. Lathrop from my Waldorf elementary school (who's our party wizard in the RP); Ms. Denham, Ms. Ginger, Ms. Wall, Ms. Bond, Ms. Chadwick, and Coach Higgins in middle school; and Mr. Thomas, Dr. Yearwood, Ms. Schneider, Ms. Guadagno, Ms. Sanders, Mr. Conway, Dr. Gagne, Mr. Damplo, and Mr. Lambright in high school. Okay, maybe not a few. And just about all my teachers outside school were like that, too. The ones who taught me really useful stuff, anyway. Including my stepfather Enzo, Mom, Master Linnet (who taught me to fight), Kitainia, all the writers I've read, and my friends in here and elsewhere. Thanks to everyone for the lessons and the friendship, not sure which I value more.

Thanks for supporting my remarks to the complaint guy. About the girl I dated who was like Willow, yeah, I was lucky to have dated someone like her. Never found out if she went vampire after hours (can't say what I really mean), but it was still a great relationship. She was a good kisser, great travel companion, and I could talk to her about almost anything. Too bad I lost touch with her after I switched middle schools. Last I heard, she moved to Greece. Hope she's having fun there. :)

Green Baron: Welcome back, I missed you a lot. Congrats on your new job, and condolences about Jessica. Good to see Reverend Atilla, too. He's delightful as ever. <grin> If you guys want to get back into the RP, let me know and I'll tell you what you've missed.

Stormy: Great pics. Thanks for posting them, and the info about Cyrway.

Robby: Glad you liked it. Was it you who gave the fic five stars? Hope you liked what I did with Brooklyn in there. Griff and Vinnie haven't shown up in my fic universe much so far (the latter did, but like an idiot I killed him off), hope I can write their characters well when they do. I too am a big Brooklyn fan. Glad I've got the other characters down as well, I was really worried about some of them. Goliath in particular, he's the hardest character for me to write because I'm nothing like him IRL. Well, except that we both love to read and have a protective nature. As you know, I am not stoic in the least. :) And I know I'm not the best fic writer, in fact I'm glad I'm inferior. I'm the kind of person who acknowledges others' good qualities as well as his own, and sets his own standards, then goes for them and not anyone else's. My writing is that way, too. Thanks for the feedback, hope you're not the only one from whom I get some.

Kyryn: Thanks for you support, too. I sent you those dragon descriptions, hope you get them. No deadline on the pic, I know you have a lot of work to do. Finish it and send it to me when you have time. Thanks.

Steve Gooch: I agree with you about The Rock, I hated that they killed off a lot of interesting characters as well. But at least I can still feature Sinclair and Womack as bad guys in my fic saga. And maybe Goodspeed, Mason, Kramer, Peterson, Jade, and Paxton (my favorite character in the film) will show up later, too. I definitely want to see how Goodspeed would react to meeting someone like Matt, who very badly wants to see his microfiche. :) The Rock was a big influence on my writing, too. I liked the action, plot, and depth of character it had. If you want to see more Rock-inspired characters in my fic, just look at Lincoln's Commandos. Sheppard got his name from that movie, and Cameron, Weston, and Sameer got their personalities from some of Hummel's Marines (Frye, Crisp, and that jerk who said "I'd take pleasure in gutting you, boy!"). Good movie.

Kaioto: <There have to be ~some~ normal yet weird and motivated people who haven't been planned on by the Fay who are going to start observing and planning if not retaliating.> Check my fic saga in the stories to come. Johnny and the Sparks, Doc, Judge Maddux, Matt, Detectives Dawson and Slovak, and reporters Gary Parker and Bob Page will all fall into that category very soon. Along with Elisa, the clan, the Xanatoses, Seth, Agony, Nikki Holliday, and a few of the other not-so-normal folk. :)

Christine: Hey, we charged labor minimum wage. And I only spent 1 hour taking the bus to Dragon's Lair to get the item, heading back to the post office and getting a box, packaging it, and then standing in line to mail it, so there's not that much of a charge. Hope Tim likes it, you're welcome.

Deuce: Glad you like this place. I feel almost the same way about it you do. This is a place of friendship, warmth, happiness, creativity, where I can be myself and be comfortable with all my good friends. I have places like it in IRL, too (my apartment, the Paradox club, Alex's house, Einstein's Arcade, and Kitainia's arms), but I still value this place very much as one of my many homes. Glad I'm not the only one.

Brimstone: You know, I saw someone who looked exactly like the guy who plays the Devil on that show getting off a bus today. He grinned at me the same way the Brimstone Devil does, too, when he saw me looking at him. Weird. I'm really going to miss that show when Fox kills it. Oh well, at least they also axed a certain boring primetime soap opera called Melrose Place. <evil smile>

Okay, that's all for now. Later!

**BACK TO RP**

A haglike Chinese woman dressed in a black dress-suit (one of Bucharev's managers) notices Doug posting and walks over to him. "No talking!" she snaps, stabbing him with her cattle prod. Doug screams and turns around. Then he smiles, recognizing the slave-driver Chinese teacher he had in 9th grade, who would give him low grades just because he was reading ahead of everyone else and she didn't like that or him. "Driskill!" Doug says, grinning as he pulls out his gun. The terrible b&*$h (former) teacher steps back, shocked as she recognizes the student who she once enjoyed abusing with insults and grades. "This is for almost killing my GPA just because you didn't like me," Doug grins. "And all the workers you're absuing here! Attack!!" The other Ravens on the factory floor draw their own weapons and begin taking out robots and goons. The workers flee screaming in terror, and Lathrop casts his spell to teleport the ones Sam thinks are Boris's relatives to a safe place. Meanwhile, Driskill lets off a string of loud Chinese curses, draws a bladed fan, and lunges at Doug. He jumps back, blasts her in the chest with his plasma shotgun, and watches as she crumples to the floor. Then, humming "Another One Bites the Dust," he turns to help take out the remaining goons and robots. The screen fades out, to be continued.

**FOR NOW, END RP**

***SPOILERS FOR WHEN THE BOUGH BREAKS PART TWO***

Well, I rushed through the end of it because I had some stuff to do last night. Still, it’s pretty good overall. The George scenes are fascinating, the Banshee’s decision is brilliant, Madoc’s demonstration of power was great and the Goliath dialogue is excellent. The savage tricks of Loki and hostilities of all the unseelie is cool.

Much of the rest of the dialogue with characters from the original series doesn’t seem like things that they would say, I don’t think. :|

I can’t really say it’s got the instant buzz of similar stuff like CONSEQUENCES but it had a few nice touches, a lot of dramatic scenes and was a superb combination of excellent stuff. Just felt a bit rough around the edges to me, but maybe I’m imagining it. As I said, I rushed reading it a bit.

Airwalker: It’s entirely possible that Madoc lost because of the very reasons you stated; few of the Third Race would agree with his power hungry, homicidal methods.

Green Baron> I checked the course outline: it's bleeding-heart. The theme, or focus is on "belonging". At least I can get a good essay out of my experiences in the CR.

I mean it when I say that this is the only non-threatening environment I've ever bee exposed to (or immersed in). In every other place I am—home, school, church—there is something or someone preventing me from being myself; at least one person I don't get along with. Such obstacles don't exist here: I am comfortable calling every regular poster here a good friend.

Back to reality:

DumlaoX> I'll get an "introduction" ready for tomorrow or Thursday.

Xanatos in armour> Heh... that was my picture when I used to frequent the other CR... like two years ago. How times change. Anyway, I like this Rory picture better: it's bigger, and except for the red hair, looks something like me.

BLAM Shotgun pellets rip through net demon hide Mr. disconnects cowers in a corner as a figure disembowels the few remaining net demons who weakly cling to him! “At LAST my email is back up”. Turning back to the vortex he unleashes a few more blast form his shotgun.”and don’t even thick about doing it again “.
hello ,brushing off net demon gore and scans the post,

You know complaint guy ip address was posted so we could find out who he was if we care.

Lexy> ,Cracks knuckles wow a really good question, All right here we go. One how much time do lex and liz spend on-line together?? We don’t know so they may have a tight relationship, but are shy in real life. Lex might be scared of a physical relationship with her because of her age and his strength. Lex also may fear how the clan would react to the relationship. After all his companionship is not the safest and she is young. Now the age factor. OK Sorry but personality is a Huge factor in this. Lex is perceived younger because he acts younger ( he is what 18, 19 in garg years?). Yes his size is a factor I suppose being shorter and looking younger, but Lex acts young.(Hey people accuse me of being younger than I am because of my interest in comic, cartoons, games, ect and not because of my size 6’4” though I do have that Broadway look going on Sigh)

By the way here is my email address if anyone wants it ,tosses a bit of wing on Mr. disconnects face who is still in the corner cowering, cag16@bellsouth.net.

What a Super bowl party still going on man you people are die hard!! At last I have found some real fun. Spotting the Power Rangers and the dire threat going to befall them Ironwolf sweeps in sucker punches the red ranger in the gut throws the first pink ranger over his shoulder and heads to the force field. Thrusting his hand into the field he absorbs part of the energy and forces a hole to open up and he steps through. “ Sorry guys but I had to save her.” Notices all the Attractive Females of varying species smiles”mabey the net demons killed me and I went to heaven” Notices the state of drunkenness “hmm I need to catch-up” deposits a stunned pink ranger on the nearest couch. Rummaging threw his jacket he removes a bottle.” John Waynes favorite brand of tequila. The only Brand he would drink and the only brand for me.” takes a swig.

Great News> I passed the interview. In a few weeks, I will start as a student intern at Scottsdale Securities. I'm going to celebrate by buying a scapular and a Mary medal. I'm a wild guy :)

Deuce> Religion 15? I take it your school has a different system than mine did. My classes were named after the main focus of the course. My Sophomore year was devoted to the Old Testament, but the teacher wasn't all that good. She couldn't keep order and she was one of those nuns who didn't wear a habit, but she wasn't as bad as Sr. Sue. They can't test you on how faithful you are, but they can test you on how well you know your faith. Let's just hope it's your faith they teach you and not some bleeding-heart interpretation :)

Kaioto> LOL!! I love your bubba crack. I bet the White House will be fumigated after the Cracker-in-Chief leaves Office :) Ialos imagine the Secret Service agents following Roger Clinton carry a pooper scooper with them :)

Scar & LBJ> Scar created a social welfare state that redistributed hunting gains to feed hyenas. It also disruptd the natural order since hyenas are meant to be scavengers and tehy shoudl earn their food by foraging carrion. He also bankrupted the country and killed his brother to get the kingdom.

While LBJ did not kill his brother, he may have been involved in Kennedy's assasination and he was a ruthless, evil, crude swine of a man who's Great Society bankrupted the United States, and he kept us in a losing war that divided the country, just because he was too proud to admit defeat.

Kyryn> I'm alive and well, and the same loveable, hugable, right-wing Libertarian everyone knows and loves.

I'm back! My second semester is under way, and I have some very, um, unique teacherrs. More on them later.

Last night I got a very scary creativity demon: Owen encounters the Weird Sisters, who taunt him, knowing that he can't really do much about it. Listen to this:

"Owen cocked his head very slightly to the side, as though he were listening to something. He then turned to the three identical women.

"'Puck has asked me to relay a message to you', he said calmly, slowly extending his middle finger."

Well? Comments?

I also have an idea for DumlaoX, when you post the CR rules. Have the rules accessable from the bar at the top (w/ Add to CR, Last Week's, etc.), along with a "CR Primer", kind of an introduction that explains what we do here, discussion topics, the theme, etc. I'd be more than happy to write it.

Non spoilers for the story: GREAT JOB!!! This two-parter is definitely my favourite ep yet. :-D

Complaint Guy> Interesting; it seems that by posting that we have no lives, you show your total lack of one. :-)

School> I've written all of "Stolen Heart" in my English 10 and French 20 classes. I already know everything they're teaching me, why do I have to pay attention? As far as speed-reading, I always finished reading comprehension tests WAY early, bugging my teachers to no end — and I still finished three or four grades above my level (in Grade 9 I was at 12.3, not sure where I am now). I can read a TNG paperback novel in about an hour, a good-sized novel (450-plus pages) in two and a half, and a typical TGS story in twenty minutes or so.

OneEyedSquid> I promise to get that song to you ASAP. Sorry for the delay.

Lex being youngest> I think his high voice had something to do with that, too.

Well, off to Religion 15! I still don't see how they can give us exams in that. What right have they to test me on my faith! ;-)

****NO RP TONIGHT!!!****

My Fair Lady-I saw that movie once. "The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plains." "I washed my hands and face before I came here I did."

Batman Beyond-ok this sounds like an interesting show. What station is it on?

Stupid songs-Have any of you ever had a song stuck in your head and you just can't get it out?
"Walking on, Walking on broken glass." For the love of God get it out!!!!!

****EP SPOILERS****
Very, Very good. Why is Monday so far away?
I don't think that Lex is going to go mateless. Brooklyn did say that he would make him "eat those words" which says to me that he's hinting about something.

I think Umbriel is going to start wondering about which side he should be fighting for. At least he should by now and if he's not I must be giving him too much credit.
****END SPOILERS****

Complaints- Ok I am going to say this one last time for all those people who are STILL complaining about the CR being too long. YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ ALL OF IT AND IF IT TAKES TOO LONG FOR YOU COMPUTER TO LOAD THEN FIND SOMETHING TO DO WHILE YOU WAIT!!!! READ A BOOK, CLEAN YOUR ROOM, TRY TO FIGURE OUT THE MYSTERIES OF THE UNIVERSE, OR TRY DEVELOPING A LITTLE PATIENCE!!!! DOES IT REALLY MATTER ANYWAYS AS LONG AS YOUR HERE?!

Ok I'm back. I'm apologize for having to be so rude but in my opinion it needed to be said. People must learn that they can't always get what they want when they want.

Well I've said just about all I can think of for now. See all you later.

Annoynmous person- I admit it, I have no life. As well as being a bad Vinnie clone, I AM one of the undead!

Batman Beyond- Spiffy so far, I just wish they hadn't played the first episode three weeks in a row...

Just a note... I may soon be starting up the Timedancer countdown again... And it may be a very short countdown...

Lex being alone- Well, Greg has said one day he finds a female garg and falls in... But that may still be twenty years off... It doesn't mean he may not become romantic with Liz at some point... But for right now, they seem like buddies to me, romance doesn't seem to be on their mind. It isn't like the Tina relationship in Spike's stories... Though some day it may be... But I agree, true love isn't for everyone, though with a bit of hope and wishful thinking, I may have gotten lucky first time time around... **Looks in Heather's general direction**

Coyote, SJ... This is a test to see how much we're thinking alike... I'm thinking of a whole number BETWEEN one and three... If either one of you figures out what number I'm thinking of and says as much, it'll be cause to freak out... Too much thinking alike... Anyone else care to guess what whole number I'm thinking of between one and three, go right ahead...

Wilek- Very bizarre DC death... You seem to make him suffer more often than most... I guess he likes visiting you, huh? Which is a bad thing...

Gathering 99- I intend to go, but thats still 5 months off... A lot can happen in five months...

Superbowl commercials- Yeah, I caught the 2001 thing, and caught the reference...

Lexy- People always assume Lex is younger because he's smaller, got big eyes, and treated as the youngest. The factors add up to make him seem younger, despite being the same age as the rest of them. As to why people speculate most about his future tense self, well... I think its because everything else that happened seemed quite plausible and likely, it was Lex's turning evil that was the big shocker and will take work to get to... (Heck, its pretty darn easy to see how Brooklyn and Demona could have gotten together... If Brooklyn had remained single anyway... But since at the party we're using pre-timedancer Brook...)

Green/White ranger- Said before, I thought he was the bright spot of the show. And I used to watch it quite a bit... Until they ruined Zed by marrying him off anyhow...

** JIM'S SUPERBOWL PARTY **

Jim is questioning Brain. "Okay Brain, I didn't invite you, but you're famous, so I'll let it pass. Just tell me, what are you doing here?"
"Um..." the big headed white mouse starts...
"You came to liven up the party didn't you? I mean, what you got Demona to start doing is great! For a celebrity, you sure know how to liven up a party..."
Brain interrupts. "(Click my name to HEAR his response!)"

Elsewhere, the Power rangers are still having trouble getting in thanks to the forcefield surrounding the mansion. They're about ready to go for their zords... Except for the Green/White Ranger, who was simply let in...

In the kitchen, Weird Al is having a conversation with whatever's "Living in the Fridge"...

And lastly, in the main hall, Demona is still spilling her guts when Brooklyn walks in, still drunk from the bottle of tequila and the worm he had earlier. Demona adds absently in her drugged truth telling state, "Oh yeah, and I've been in love with him for the last two and a half years." Davy of the Monkees suddenly gets a very depressed look, this romance has ended strangely like all of his others... But everyone else is just left to wonder about this new revelation...

**spoilers**

to everyone who commented on my lexington post..i thank you, dissagree slightly with you, and have another challeng*L* ya right:P
so thank you for answering me like i belong here:)
next i dont think i quite agree..first of yes, future tense was a great episode..in gargoyles, (as we all know) most things hold a ring of truth..thats a ring ppl..not a CRASH BANG BOOM! just cuz lex was evil in future tense..dosn't not mean hes taking over the world. Broadway went deaf..i dont see ppl panicking and wondering if he can find a hearing age his size. Brooklyn was angry and bitter..i dont hear anyone freaking out cuz poor brook may (heven forbid) lose his cool. Tons of Derek clones patrolling the city..ya well, you get my point. I do of course realize he will go through emotional trama. Lex may be computer smart..but that dosn't give him points for social or emotions skills. He still hasn't found himself..and to make matters worse, both his two best friend's, who he thought would always be their for him, have found their ways. Lex is still more in the dark. I can certainly see him losing it at Goliath or his brothers..i can even see him running away..or 'thinking' of doing something bad..but never going thru with it. (come on ppl? ya think they'd let em' kill somebody??) He is supposed to meet somebody..Greg told me that when i asked..*he he* but if there are any other crazed lex fans such as yours truly..then i must apologize..cuz i asked a bunch of lex Q's in a row..and he finally said.."well i think some things should be left up to the imagination", and made silly comments to the others questions he still had unaswered..*he he* SORRY GUYS! but hey..what can i say? I saw all those questions about Time dancer, something that wasnt supposed..(but Greg wanted) to happen..and he answered not all of course but meny Q's about brook..**opinion** i think he enjoys brooklyn's character and the whole timedancer idea MUCH more then Lexington getting a mate idea..so he hasn't thought of it TO much.
I think lex needs time to grow, he needs time to get whatever evil, crazy, angry, emotions he has out, then meet somebody, who will help him further. But i would agree if you asked me who, Out of the Trio, would be most likely and or most easilly single..yes, i think that lex would probably take it better then our luv sick romeo brooklyn, or are sweet hearted broadway. **wishes** *he he* i hope lex meets a girl, a half-breed from the New Olympions..then she would have a grasp on technology even greater then he perhaps..and hey, if she ends up to be part human..then they wouldnt have to wait for breeding season either..lex in a way..could catch up in a sense:P (if anything..it takes ten years for the eggs to hatch..well he could wait up to 9 years before even meeting some girl and theoretically STILL be a father at or before broadway's first and Brooklyns third. hey a girl can dream cant she:)
**FYI** Greg HAS said there are gargoyles on New Oympus..or ah.du..what do you call the place??:P oh!
OH and last but not least..my next question..drumrole please..?? O.K i just want to know YOUR opinions on this..ppl ALWAYS say that lex is younger..now we KNOW that cant be (want to argue the point *he he* LETTER RIP!) We know this to be true..because him and Brook and Broadway ARE ROOKERY BROTHERS as in HATCHED AT THE SAME TIME..understood? good:) (lex could NOT have hatched any later then a few hours after the others if he did..due to the sunsetting before they finished hatching..but that is it. SO now that we have esstablished this FACT:)i would like to know why..even though we all knew this ppl think he is younger..his personality is a bad example. ppl can act really mature..or really not mature..age matters..but it dosn't demand. Height??? oh so are you saying that because he is shorter then the others..(probably due to his wing type) that he MUST be younger??? well that is a physical characteristic..it also can be a determiner of age..but for certainty..we cant use that to judge. His voice..dont go there:P..YIPES! *reads her post realizing she has REALLY gone off at ppl* *L* sorry everyone:P just urks me is all *L* ah well better be going! * runs out of the room ducking the barrage of over-ripened vegtables being chucked at her, yells back as she runs* OH< AND BLUE!

No RP tonight, computer problems cost me almost my entire hard drive and I don't feel like rewriting tonight ...

Green Ranger: (Oh dear, I thought I was not going to get into the PR
discussion ... ah well ... if principles don't work ... question
them ...) I think the Green Ranger had more character than the others.
He seemed a more believable and appealing character because of the
crap he had to go through with all the manipulation and then losing
his powers and all that. He was this tough, but kind loner, kind of
removed from the preppy squad as it were ... He had some characterization
that remained me of young Brooklyn actually. He also had the long
hair look down ... never underestimate the power of the hair :)

**Spoiler Type Stuff**

I am, as usual, impressed by the quality of work, especially
considering people get ~paid~ to do worse jobs writing ...

I find that the work on Character for Richard, George, and Umbriel
was quite excellent. As well I found that Madoc's little seen
finally displays his utter ruthlessness and contempt for all life
as apposed to just being a disgruntled, revenge-minded leader of
a war. It draws an important line between evil and misunderstood.

Quinn: I think that perhaps it is time to let her become more than
a damsel in distress or a victim or a love interest if she is going
to be in the middle of George and Richard in this war.

Public: I kinda have to wonder how New-Yorkers, who rioted over
terrorists and got violent over our defenders of the night are
dealing with people committing vandalism, terrorism, and defying
gravity. I think that perhaps they are drifting to much into Sheepdom.
Hey, this is New Tork City. There have to be ~some~ normal yet weird
and motivated people who haven't been planned on by the Fay who are
going to start observing and planning if not retaliating. And how
are religions going to react to the resurgence of ghost and goblins
and things that go bump in the night ... not to mention the pagan
'gods' of old ...

**End any potentially spoiling stuff **

Lexington: Is it just me, or do a lot of people have that mentality
aunts and grandmothers get in close extended families when they
start trying to marry the bachelor in the family off? :) Seriously
not everyone needs or should find True Love. It is rare. Not every-
one has to follow their hormones around either (Bravo, Lex, bravisimo).
Many people choose not to take life-mates. A few of those actaully
decide not to fool around either. On a deeper level it isn't about
sex or marriage to settle that feeling as much as a soul-mate, someone
who understands and accepts you on a level others can not. Perhaps
Lex has found this in Liz, perhaps not.

Superbowl Commercials: Did anybody else pick up on the '2001: A Space
Odysee' theme in the Mac commercial in the first half? The one about
the Y2K problem with the red glowing 'eye' with 'Hal 9000' above it
in small letters. ROTFLMAO. Everyone else looked at me with almost
as much confusion as the commercial.

A Question: 'Why is it that we find it tolerable to have
representitives we ~expect~ to lie to us? Is this really the evil
of 'politics' or our own apathy we disguise in disillusionment.

Quote: 'I find it very hard to take day to day life seriously when
the responcibility for global thermo-nuclear anihilation lies in the
hands of a man we can 'Bubba'.'

Lexy> I don't know, I just can't imagine Lexington and Liz together like that. You are going to hate me for this, but I think he can be happy alone. Not everyone is meant to be with someone else... but of course, you never know! *g*

Batman Beyond: Darn, I still haven't seen it. A lot of people keep talking about it here, and it's piqued my interest. I really enjoyed B:TAS, so I'm curious about this spin-off.

**RP!!**

**The screen lights up to reveal ... Coyote now with the rest of the group, listening to Demona spill her guts. Ravyn's next to him ... a little miffed because the distraction interrupted the dancing. Meanwhile the Broncos and Vikings are staging an impromptu football game in the back yard, with the Gearhead as the referee, and just for laughs Jason and Tank Girl are firing rounds into the field, creating giant potholes for the players to avoid.**

Hey ... that looks interesting ...

<"What? Like Demona spilling her secrets isn't interesting enough?">

No ... the little big-headed mousie over there ... I'm compelled to follow his lead ...

**Ravyn looks over where Coyote's eyes are looking, and sees Brain, grinning. He's obtained his first mindless slave.**

<"Uh oh ... betetr sober you up FAST!">

**PAUSE RP!!**

**BEGIN SPOILERS FOR "WTBB2"**

Hmm ... so maybe George is salvageable after all. Nice to see him decide to do the right thing, as opposed to being selfish as his actions in the past have been. And the rest of the story was great, too ... I can imagine Sata's shock if it turns out that Lucy *is* the London Clan's Lucy.

**END SPOILERS.**

Super Bowl commercials: I was only waiting for one ... the FedEx commercial with the Red Wings. I would imagine that I would be a supremely pissed off fan if the Stanley Cup was mistaken for a 45-pound burlap sack of coffee beans! :)

Batman Beyond: Inque does make for a good villain. I would be *very* interested to see more of her in the future, especially anything related to her past.

Trey: Wilkommen, bienvenue, welcome!

Gathering '99: I've said it once, I've said it again ... wild horses dragging me by the earlobes can't keep me away from Dallas the last weekend of June!!

Stormy: Now, I thought the pic was great (the Black Wings pic). You are quite talented, especially when it comes to facial expressions ... Wagner looks very stoic in that pic. I liked it.

Kitainia: You're quite welcome.

Lonesome Lex: Actually ... my analysis of this would be that he would become despondent after a while, and pretty much be forced to leave by his own loneliness, in an attempt to find someone. Maybe that's why when I messed with Lex I had him crash-land in Detroit ... :)

**RESUME RP!!**

<"Oh Coyote ...">

**Coyote looks away from his stupefied staring at the Brain to see Ravyn standing there ... **

** ... with a fire extinguisher.**

<"WAKE UP!!">

**Ravyn shoots off the fire extinguisher, inundating Coyote in white foam. The shock, though, seems to have snapped him out of it.**

Whoa ... thanks, Rav, I needed that.

<"So I noticed." **picks Brain up by the scruff of his neck** "And what exactly were you planning on doing with this poor soul?">

Umm, Rav ... I don't think this is the best time to be interrogating him.

<"Why not?">

**Coyote points over at the window. They both look out to see the tank swerving out onto the football field, in the middle of the two pro teams out there.**

I think it's time for us to regain control of my tank.

<"I agree." **whistles**>

**Coyote and Ravyn jog over to Charlotte, who has just driven up to the front door. Jumping into the convertible, it speeds off toward the tank as the screen winks off.**

Never thought I'd fall for the percent sign thing, but in a fit of profane anger I went right ahead and did. Whoops. Sorry in advance for the continued post.

I was going to say, "That's why we have the _______ Power Rangers still on TV and no Gargoyles. Sorry for the rant, but I'll just never forgive that show."

Gargs in Antarctica > I'm of the opinion that if a gargoyle truly believes that it's time to turn to stone, they will. In that way they'll remain stone for six months or whatever in the arctic/antarctic, if only because of a physical manifestation of a strong psychological belief. Of course this theory has never been tested, but it's extremely important in two of my fics.

Ah well. More power to ya. I've modeled a character in my writing after Goodspeed, to some extent (more now that I mention it). An FBI chemist gets tied up in a crazy half-war, enjoys it, and ends up in HRT. Come to think of it, The Rock was a LOT bigger influence on my writing than I previously thought. Plus I took a ton of names: Lindstrom, Sinclair, Griffith. People with those names ended up all over the place in my military fiction.

SJ > I've been around. Like Fire Storm I've been fighting off a nasty virus that seemed to originate with the new girl on our floor. For about a week I didn't feel like doing much of anything after rolling out of bed and stumbling to class. But I'm better now, so.. back to the insanity!!!

Power Rangers > [shudder] I think we all have to remember that this was the show that killed Gargoyles. Greg admitted it. Too many kids in the target audience were watching that ridiculous kicking of low-budget rubber monsters instead of Gargoyles. And the thing that really bugs me is that... they STILL ARE!! Damn fool show is STILL RUNNING!! Just goes to show ya: the show may be bad, but if the money's good it'll still be around. And vice versa. That's why we have the F#&

Todd - I don't think that the six month's of daylight in the Antarctic would have any major effect on a gargoyle. Since they turn to stone because of an internal clock and not because of exposure to the sun itself then it shouldn't matter how it is outside. At most I think that there might be a slight delay in the transformation like if they got trapped indoors and didn't have the site of sunrise to help kick it off.

I imagine that the major effect of that six month's of daylight to Gargoyles would really be seen in the area of 2158. Because the sun will be out at night, I think that it would be a major Gargoyle tourist site.


**COMMENTS ON TGS EPISODE**

It was a well written engrossing episode that managed to explore all of the vast cast it has, even managing to include the PENDRAGON cast which has been neglected for the last few weeks.

Also this episode demostrated perfectly why Madoc isn't worthy to be the ruler of Avalon. A true leader doesn't need to use fear and brute force to keep his forces in line. A good leader also doesn't need such absolute control over his forces as Madoc wants to maintain. He is taking away the Halflings hope, and that can only make them more dangerous and rebellious, because without hope they have nothing to lose.


I do wonder though if Madoc is being given too much power. Everything that Oberon has done, he can undo. He was able to remove Banshee's gag, and I'm sure that he could probably do something about Puck's limitation. But if he has that much power, if he is on an equal footing with Oberon, then why did he lose? Did he just have a bad day 10,000 years ago? If he has that much power then what does he need with Halflings and other minions?

**BIZARRE DEATH FOR MR. DISCONNECT! THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE TURNED OFF BY OCCULT IMAGERY HAD BETTER SKIP THIS ONE; THIS IS DARK MAGE WILEK'S MOMENT IN THE SPOTLIGHT.**

[At the party, Wilek and Dark Mage Wilek spy Mr. Disconnect trying to sneak out. DMW teleports himself, Wilek, and Mr. DC into a secluded corner of the house. Wilek: "DC, you offlined me and locked up my computer in the middle of a VERY LONG POST! For this, you will not just be killed, YOU WILL BE SACRIFICED!" Dark Mage Wilek conjures a large metal pentagram with spikes at each point, and impales DC's wrists and ankles on four of the points. He conjures a large knife inscribed with another pentagram. DMW: "I offer the blood of a mortal to Tchernobog, the sleeping god, the one who binds all worlds! PESTIS CRUENTO PRAYANAVITA!" He slashes Mr. DC's throat and lets him bleed to death. Wilek: "Speaking of spikes..."]

**END VERY DISTURBING MDC DEATH AND BEGIN NEW EP SPOILERS**

Interesting ep; I like what's being done with the Halflings and Unseelie. I almost laughed my little blue butt off when Loki expended his wrath on the taxi driver. My favorite part of these eps is how much my Halfling friend Anoth and I are learning about Halfling magic. Sata seems to have a fairly bizarre sense of humor. Is that one dude in that one pic wearing a Dilbert shirt?! Zed's comment about the Force kinda creeped me out, since the Force exists in my ficverse. When Lex said stuff like "Boy, I'm glad my hormones aren't controlling me" and "I don't need a mate to make me happy", I wanted to stand up and applaud; I'm exactly the same way. (I took some kind of test at trio.simplenet.com that tested which of the Trio I was most like. Guess who it was. And now this. Coincidence?) Why am I thoroughly unsurprised that SJ's dad is into Gilbert and Sullivan? Hm...Beansidhe (I prefer that spelling over Banshee for some reason) was once allied with Maeve and Morrigan? Interesting...and the fact that she's now an Unseelie can't be good news. Hm...aparently Umbriel's only around to keep Madoc in check. It was pretty kewl how Madoc disposed of Casey. But really...why did Casey have to die? Ah well, I liked this one a lot better than the first one, which focused mostly on the Harrisons, who I'd never seen before and therefore didn't much care for.

**END SPOILERS**

FS> Ack, you're still sick? Hm...<hands him some soup through a portal> DMW cast a healing spell on it; I guess you already know to be careful around his magic. <g> Oh, and I know you've been hunting down a Nintendo 64 emulator...I think I can help...

$Doug> Hm, I guess DMW doesn't pay much attention to your end of the RP like I do. :) $

Trey> Welcome! We're all insane here, so feel free to ignore the horrifying screeches coming from right behind you.

More Power Rangers comments> I based one of my fic characters kind of on the Phantom Ranger. You'll know him when you finally see him. Or fail to see him as the case may be.

Green Baron> How exactly is Scar like LBJ?!

$Stormy> <<Would YOU like to meet your evil twin from an alternate universe who is the complete opposite of you?>> Ever meet my evil clone?$ Oh, and very kewl Black Wings Wagner pic.

Interesting bit of trivia: the swastika wasn't a symbol of evil before Hitler got a hold of it. It was a symbol of benevolence and strength, used by several religions around the world. It was even used by the early Christian church. Then Hitler took it into his twisted little brain to pervert it for his own uses, and we all know where everything went from there.

Oh, and the schools are DEFINITELY doing more harm than good to Earth's children. A friend of mine is proof enough of that. The schools did their best to turn him into a perfect little cookiecutter citizen, but they never succeded. They greatly disapproved of him. Not that he was any kind of troublemaker, but...he was just different. He sees his mostly impressive grades as a large upraised middle finger, forever to mock their closed-mindedness.

Oh, man, do I wish I could go to the Gathering. Even if I could acquire tickets, I can't possibly go all the way to Texas.

**BEGIN PARTY RP!**

[Wilek wades into the crowd, looking for something to do...and sees several unsavory-looking ppl coming in the door. Wilek: "DM, please tell me those aren't your friends from the Cabal." DMW nods. Wilek: "Please tell me they won't be causing trouble, like at the last party I let you invite them to." DMW: "It's not my fault someone hit on Gabriella." Wilek: "She drop-kicked the guy's head into the neighbor's chimney, DM. Besides, Caleb then proceeded to get drunk and shoot up the place." DMW: "I know. I think Gabby's related to that assistant of yours." Wilek: "Somehow I doubt it, DM. Miriam's British and Gabriella's Haitian. They do both have that take-no-[censored] attitude, though..."]

***JIM'S SUPERBOWL PARTY*****
Marching into the house, followed by a mass of fans and reporters, are the winners of Superbowl 33--the Denver Broncoes!!!
John Elway, the game MVP, is hoisted on their shoulders, until he's accidentally knocked to the floor by a certain familiar young geneticist running away from a certain angry young woman.....
***PAUSE JIM'S SUPERBOWL STUFF****

****TGS SPOILERS, SORTA****
Well, there's not to many ways to say this, but I'll go ahead: Perfect! Wonderful! Excellent! Bravo!
Mark it up as another perfect episode of TGS! Now, if only Timedancer would start back up....
***END SPOILERS***

Robby: Yeah, I think we had a kinda psychic thing going on there. I decided to use Kari after realizing that she had been brought onto the Dark Star....and then forgotten :( So, I'm trying to make amends.

Gooch, Green Baron: Hey, where have you guys been? Have you been lurking? ;) Geez, what is it with you lurkers anyway? We won't bite.....too hard.

Lexington: No mate for Lex? Hmm.....that would leave Lex all alone.....and bitter.....and corrupted.....I smell Future Tense! (Or maybe I just want to. That WAS my favorite episode, BTW)

Terry Gilliam: He would be PERFECT to direct a "Good Omens" movie. His films are filled with bizarre imagery (12 Monkeys, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Brazil, Baron Munchasen, even parts of the Fisher King), and Good Omens needs some nifty special effects. Plus Gilliam is a master of the wry British humor (he was in Monty Python for goodness sakes), which Gaiman and Pratchett use so well in the book. Overall, he'd be perfect! (random thought: Gilliam was once gonna write and direct a Watchmen movie, based on the famous comicbook, but the deal eventually fell through)

The Mummy: No, this isn't Anne Rice's version. It's a big budget (80 million) remake of the 1932 version with Boris Karloff, which itself was remade by Hammer studios in 1959 with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. (gee, can you tell I'm a hardcore horror flick fan?) From what I've seen of the new film it could be a great pic--the effects are amazing, and the design sketches I've seen of the Mummy himself....well, this dead guy looks to be the most horrific Mummy of them all--with bones and rotting flesh and all.
The bad news? The geniuses at Universal pictures have decided to place it head to head against the new Star Wars flick. And for you Rice fans, I believe many moons ago I heard that Ramses the Damned had been optioned for a motion pic....

Complaint Guy: Let me warn you: don't EVER insult a member of this room again. I consider the people in here my friends, and when one of my friends gets insulted, despite my wiseass nature, I get PISSED. But, I'll just assume that your whole purpose on posting here was to get some sort of attention for you to get off on. I bet your 'ringing the rag' right now, orgasmic that someone is even mentioning you. You're pathetic. Don't waste our time any longer.

***RESUME JIM'S PARTY STUFF****
Kari finally catches up with SJ, grabbing him by the collar and lifting him off his feet (she's surprisingly strong you know). "WHY WERE YOU IGNORING ME???" she screams.
"I'm sorry! I really am! But I got sidetracked with that clone thing, and the Death Star, and nearly dying.....I'm sorry!"
Kari's eyes are moist. "You know, you could have at least said hi to me now and then. Had a conversation."
"I...I know, I'm really sorry. Honestly, I'll make it up to you..."
"I actually stayed by your bedside while you were sick."
"R-Really?"
"Yeah. A few days at least."
"Wow.......I-I don't know what to say. If there was something I could do to make it up to you....Wait! I know!" SJ pulls out a necklace from his pocket. It's made of gold, with several beautiful jewels--rubies, emeralds, sapphires, diamonds--and clearly a very outstanding (and expensive) piece of jewelry. "It's not much, I know, but maybe it will make up for the lousy way I've treated you."
Kari's eyes light up. "It's mine? Really?" SJ nods. She grabs him in a bear hug. "Thank you! But where did you get it?"
"Oh, I think Dark Mage Wilek dropped it back on the Dark Star. He probably won't need it back" (More on this plot development later.....)
Suddenly Jim rushes forward. "Hey everybody! Come check it out! Demona's telling all her dirty little secrets!"

***SPOILERS***

I'm speachless, not fingerless thank god, otherwise I wouldn't be able to type this. This episode was unbeleavible. I loved it. Espitailly the part whare Madoc killed Casey. I wonder what will/would happen when/if the halflings learned that it was George Madoc was investigating when he killed Casey. The part whare Ari was teasing Graeme was a nice touch to.


I'm glad in the end George still has some humanity left inside of him. If he had given Hope to Savarious(sp?) he would be beyond redemption. Still that he would even consider giving a child, much less his own, to the good docter puts George discusts me.

Although I think that hes search for companionship among the halflings, I trust Umbriel(sp?) even less after reading this. In his earlier apearences he seemed younger and easyer for Madoc to controll. It almost seemed like he beleaved Madoc was fighting for good. In this story however he acts much more intelegent. He gets the Banshe to switch sides, but clearly he does not beleave that Madoc is fighting for justice. He even says he can controll Madoc. He teaches the halflings some new tricks, maybe so they can one say kill Madoc. Sometimes he's loyal sometimes he isn't. I dout his loyalties lie with anyone but himself.


***END SPOILERS***

Lexy: Let's remember the that gargoyles are not traviling creature. In the words of the Captain "It's not the're nature." Lexington would't leave New York unless he got desperate. The mere chance that he might meet someone is not enouph to get him to leave. If things keep going like this maybe then he'd consider it. But he's not that desperate yet.

**Spoilers**

Blue & Cassandra-...Thank you much for replying to my post:) But i still think that Lexington would have nailed the opportunity. Yes, it could be that his self esteem took a hard hit, and he feels sort of worthless now. But i would wager that even then his reaction in "When the Bow breaks 2" was still unreasonable. He didn't even flinch...he was dead set on staying alone. I mean even if the offer of meeting a potential mate didn't grab him, at least the offer (from Goliath especially) to fly in one of Xanatos' jets to the country of his choice should have certainly appealed to him on a couple of levels. ie. The responsibility to go off on his own. Meeting other gargs..and the such. *sighs* I still stand firm with the belief that even though he feels lonefly, he must at least still desire a mate of his own..or at least a new friend who perhaps may share his interests.
As for him and Liz as an item..well. It did originally look that way, and i am of course still hopeful. But so far they have only met three times, and in all those meetings..never once did we even find one or both of them thinking of one another as more then friends. I hope that will change..but it didn't seem to me that Liz's friendship with Lex influenced his decision to stay at home at all.

Todd: I believe Greg said that in a North pole type setting, at first the Gargoyles would be awake for the entire 22 hours of darkness and sleeping only 2 in the daylight, UNTIL their bodies adjusted themselves, at which time they would be in stone sleep only as long as they would ordinarily be in stone sleep--10-12 hours or so.

*grits her teeth and waits for Timedancer...if I can make fall for Dark Ages, I can make this...I really miss Asrial, Thersites and all them.

New pics are going to be kewl.

And I know I've been going nuts with the pics in here, but this is one I just have to show off. Cyrway is the artist of both the Lawyers pic and the Evil Alternate Courtroom pic, but this one here I did myself--in the middle of the night last night--and I'm pretty excited about it. It's Wagner from my fic "Black Wings Passed Over." And, while I guarantee no swastikas, death's heads, SS runes or anything like that, if you didn't like the Wehrmacht pic, you're going to hate this.

Doug> I agree with and support your comments. Name Withheld obviously missed the point of the multiple subjects within a post. Sometimes we respond to one thing, several things, or none at all. Those multiple threads are a lot of the fun in this room; and, if they take up space-- well, they take up space. Personally, now that I'm editing like crazy for TGS, I don't have as much time to peruse the room. I skim for my name and topics of interest, especially if I'm online from Okami's place, since my online time there is limited.

Timedancer> Hold yer horses! We're working on it as fast as humanly possible. I won't give an official airdate, since that's up to Patrick, and we're still running through technicals like crazy.

Bright kids> My teachers always had problems understanding that I could read about twice as fast as any other kid in my classes. Luckily some of them were nice and let me read my own stuff if I finished early.

Batman Beyond> I finally got to see an ep this weekend. I like it!

Green Baron> Welcome back! I was just about to ask if anyone had heard from you.

Thought I'd stop by and comment early in the week.

This week's ep great! I especially like Lex's realization that he doesn't need a mate to be happy. An important insight no matter what gender. Giving the halflings' soul is another highpoint. Excellant crafting.

Batman Beyond> Jury's still out with me. At first I thought Inque was okay, but then I realizes she's just a slicked up version of Clayface. And Clayface had tons more character, than this sabatouer. The action was there, but not the motivation. Sabatoging your competitor is good, but this seems like underling work. I could see Xanatos assigning this to Owen rather than do it himself. Or Mercy heading up this project for Luthor, but it's not something you want linked directly to you. Powers hasn't impressed me as a villian yet.

Top tenners- Some of you guys were off, as usual... Xena was sixth, Zath was seventh, Stephen was Eigth,Gooch was ninth, and Lexy was tenth... I always find it funny when people just assume the number before them was right when going for top ten... Which is why I stick with "Top ten"...

Stephen- Haven't read your fic yet, will soon... It'll be number 359...

Not released for Protection- Um... You clearly didn't actually READ Doug's post... Yeah his was longer than yours, but it had everything to do with what you said, and it pretty much said what any of us would have said if Doug hadn't done so first... I agree with him fully, we're friends, and the post wasn't drawn out... But we could argue this point all day. We know why we come here, I don't understand why you do if all your going to do is complain about the length of the place... And incidentally, despite how I mock myself at times, I DO have a life. Basically, I gotta agree with DOug again, you're coming off as a jerk. If you ever bother to read this before you post again with a complaint, I want you to say, "Robby, I read your message." That simple. Everybody else, this is a partial test of this guy. You all know about it, I know about it. All he has to do is type "Robby, I read your message." and I'll be a bit more leniant on him, but until then... Nah ah... Heck, I even explained in detail right here what he needs to say. And please, no one else even mention this part of my post, our annoymous friend needs to spot this all on his own...

Doug- Your fic was good, and without giving out spoilers because I detest spoilers and how little they work, I'll say this. You seem to have the characters down pretty well, some of the interactions were good, and it came off very well. But remember, I'm a Brooklyn/Griff/Vinnie fan to the end, so the presence or lack therof always influences my opinion on garg fics, good or bad... You've got a good thing going. You're hardly the best fic writer, (I'm still out on who that award goes to... And 358 fics later, I've seen a lot of them...) but you're not bad at all, unlike some I could mention... All in all, good stuff like most garg fanfiction is, and I can't wait to see more, though I'll probably have forgotten what happened in the first one...

Cassandra- Hope was conceived while George was still completley human...

Trey- Welcome!

Exin- Um, what was the deal with that stuff you did last week?

Ironwolf- Woah! I'm the exact same way! I always breeze through class reading and then do what I want... A few teachers have hated me for it, but most stop caring when they realize I'm an A student anyway and thats just my way... Though I usually sketch out haracters and scenes from my stories... (The entire second half of Soul of Stone is drawn out in my math and History notes from two years back!)

GB and Attilla- Nice to see you both back here. Scar as LBJ?

Stormy- Interesting pic of Wagner and Caligo...

**RP STUFF**

The screen comes on with Kitainia and those with her driving towards Las Vegas. A sign they pass says "Welcome to Nevada." "Almost there," Traveler grins. "Casinos, here we come!!" He and Jammer (whose near-alike personalities have made them good friends) begin to sing "Viva Las Vegas" in a duet and Tricia covers her ears. "I swear, if I hear them sing that song one more time..." Kitainia grins and turns up the radio to drown them out. "You ready for Las Vegas, Kenny?" she asks the lawyer. "Uh, I guess," Kenny sighs. "The last time I was here they made a movie about my activities. It starred Nicolas Cage and Elizabeth Shue. They changed my name for it of course, but it was a good movie. I wonder if the girl who I met last time I was here is still around." "I doubt it, Kenny. You remember how that movie ended, right?" "Oh yeah." Kitainia lets him know she feels his pain, then leans over to make a post in the CR.

**PAUSE RP**

$ Sorry if anyone disapproves of Kenny being the LLV guy. That movie was so emotional, and Nicolas Cage did such a good job. I cried when he killed himself. So I guess, in a way, I'm bringing his character back. :) $

Christine: The item you requested has been sent off. They had it in plaid, slime green, or teal and with wings or without. We got the with wings style, and teal-colored because the only slime one they had was wingless. Hope that's acceptable. The bill is inside the envelope taped to the package, it's about fifty bucks (the item, plus packaging, shipping, labor, and whatever tip you want to include). Hope Tim likes his gift. :)

Green Ranger: Oh yeah, he was cute. And I liked his flute solos (still remember the tunes, I can do them on a harmonica). Best-looking human on the show. Best-looking creature was Goldar, IMO. He looked so gargoylish, especially with his wings.

Jewel: Okay. Thanks for clarifying. BTW, I read Part 3. Good job. Keep it up, you hear? :)

James Birdsong: Yes, we're a couple. And we intend to stay with each other as long as we can. We're happy together. Nobody, not even Doug's jerk family members, can alter that.

New Batman Beyond ep: It was a good one. I liked seeing Bruce in the Gray Ghost suit. (BTW, the real Gray Ghost drives a Ferrari he bought from Freddie Biscoe. See the movie "Scent of a Woman" to get this joke.) And I also liked the new Batmobile, though they could have given Terry a better line to react to it. I mean, come on, it's the future, would slang still be the same?

Complaint Person: You insult half the interesting people in the CR, command them to do things your way instead of theirs, cower behind a shield of anoymity (obviously expecting and fearing people's wrath), and you expect that nobody will take it personally? Gawd! Well, whoever you are, I'm not going to react to you. Doug, Steve Gooch, Kaioto, SJ, Coyote, and Stormy have already said my opinion much better than I could. And btw, as for your question about whether we have lives, we all do. At least the way I define life. (Nobody here is undead, right?) Now if you could tell me how you define life, maybe I'd get your comment. If it means what I think it means, it is insulting and completely untrue. At least for Doug and me, who do have a lot in our lives besides this CR. But this place is a part of our lives, and we have friends here, so we will keep coming. And, jerks notwithstanding, we'll be saying a lot. <grin>

Firestorm: Welcome back. Missed you.

Green Baron: Same goes to you and Atilla. Where have you guys been? BTW, I heard about Jessica. My condolences, hope you find someone else. Good luck with your life, hope you will continue not to be a stranger. Also, I agree with you about Frollo. And the Archdeacon, who I also liked very much. His line to Esmeralda - "Perhaps there's someone who can help you in this church." - says more for religion than anything Frollo did in his life. Same goes for Frollo's contemporary reincarnations like Pastor John.

Super Bowl: Broncos won! I won the bet with Doug! <snicker> But the game was boring as ever, and so was the pregame show. I wish Jammer and Shap hadn't insisted on watching it all the way through. I nearly fell asleep listening to it. At least its commercials were okay, though not the ones during the actual game. :(

SJ: I used to think Red could kick Green's ass too. Of course, I could kick both of theirs. <smile> I also agree with you about Kimmie. What a ditz. Fortunately, she's much more of an interesting character in her Felcity role.

Stormy: Ares O'Neil in a Hawaiian shirt? Doug's going to love that image! And begging for change? With Laura as a bag lady, right? I think the guy from Memoirs of an Invisible Man (who Ares uses as his stockbroker, to manage and increase the value of all the treasure he's collected over the millenia) just made a really bad call!
Great pic of Wagner and Caligo! You know I think I've seen them hanging out here in Austin on the Drag. :)

**BEGIN SPOILER-INFESTED COMMENTS ON THE NEW EP**

Christi, I was overwhelmed by the job you did on this one. I could feel all the emotion steaming off it, from every character involved. The plot was great, the action flowed well, and only one major hole was left open (what happened to Lex after he got knocked out?). I really liked how you had George respond to holding his daughter, and how it developed his character.

Also good job developing Richard, Quinn, Angela, Broadway, Lex, Brooklyn and his family, Umbriel, and the Halflings. Madoc amazed me with his callousness, after what he did to Casey I am even more convinced this guy needs to die a painful death. Preferably a poetic one, too. Something involving a very pissed-off Titania. <grin>

Sevarius was also a delight, I loved it when he came in singing that Major General song (you know of the filk of it, "Modern-day Geneticist," right?). As usual, the doctor's a laugh riot. My favorite part with him was when George told him to stop acting so flamboyantly. Hah!

And the pics, don't get me started on the pics. They were great! Their lack of color didn't affect the emotion displayed in them at all, I liked every one. The one of Quinn and Richard is going up on my wall. He looks like Doug, and my face is very similar to hers. Now we can say a great artist drew us. (Well, not really, but you get the idea.) I also liked the one of the Halflings, they look exactly as I envisioned them. Perfect expressions!

So you get congratulations. TGS has another great episode under its belt. My favorite one all season. Thanks for the entertainment, keep it up.

**SPOILERS END**

Xena: Increasing the power of your mind, eh? Wish I had been taught that in school. Most of my teachers were the bland boring stereotypical type who just told me the facts and expected me to repeat them back verbatim, with words they wanted to hear. Oh well, the people who have taught me stuff and weren't directly involved with school were the opposite. Dad, Mom, Uncle Brian, Aunt Sara, Master Morita (who taught me kickboxing), Snake, Cobra, Tommy, Fauline, Doug, my other friends in Austin, all the writers I've read over the years, they've all encouraged my creativity and interpersonal skills and taught me more about life than any school teacher has. I'm sorry to say it, but it's true. Guess the old Mark Twain saying applies here- "I have never let my schooling interfere with my education." <grin>

Finally started Jeff Rovin's fiction novel today. It's pretty good. Very well-researched, and I like the characters. The plot's good, too. Straight out of Alfred Hitchcock, only with bats instead of birds. So far, I like this book.

Ironwolf: Torture, eh? No, I wouldn't call that torture for a guy. And it wouldn't be for the girls, either, if they were the right kind of people. <grin>

Okay, that's all for now. Later.

**RP AGAIN**

"Hey, Kit!" Boris says from the back. "Have you noticed we're being followed?" "Followed?" Kitainia asks. "Yeah. That Range Rover has been behind us since we left the Bates Motel. Maybe before, too. It does look kinda familiar." "I saw it in the CR parking lot the last time we were there," Elena volunteers. "You recognize it, Kitainia?" "Uh, what color is it? Can you see the license plate?" Boris looks through his field glasses. "Beige, license number Pranker-N-Thou?" "Oh boy," Kitainia sighs. "What are THEY doing here?" "Who?" "Jerry Bennet and Tom Campbell. Old friends of mine." "Those crazed born-again pranksters you hung out with in high school?" Tricia asks. "Hey, they didn't get born-again till after graduation. And I suspect the fact that their final exam week prank war sent them both to jail had something to do with it. Those guys were okay when I knew them, if one didn't mind being the brunt of or forced into helping set up endless practical jokes. I just wonder what they're doing here." "Should we stop them and ask?" Jammer questions. "I'll think about it," Kitainia says, driving on. They pass a sign that says "Las Vegas- 50 miles." The screen goes blank.

TRAVELLER: Thanks for the kind words--glad you liked them. It's nice to know someone is reading these tales of mine.

WILEK: Wags hasn't got a tail, and he often passes for human...just fold up the wings and go...

DOUG: And speaking of arguing before a jury...actually, it was two judges. They were protesting defamation of character in a fic that made them look stupid. They lost, because Cyrway and I were the judges.

And why were their characters defamed? Would YOU like to meet your evil twin from an alternate universe who is the complete opposite of you?

And with that, I present another pic....of Wagner and Caligo as you have NEVER SEEN THEM BEFORE....

**A forgotten, but somewhat familiar figure arrives. Wait, it's the Green Baron, and he is holding a cat in an old Minister's missionary cassock**

Hello everyone. Robby told me I was missed. Don't worry I'm still alive and Attila is still holding services with 5 collections each day.

**Attila starts sniffing all the people and tehn moons the CR**

My kitty will make his comments first

Complaining guy> Meow!! Hisssssss!! If you have a problem with the RP, you can go to a parking meter and violate yourself! You have the manners of a Frenchman, and you smell like one too. :p

Falcons> Oops!! I guess when that guy was trying to get some, he also got some prison time :) I must add this to my next sermon. Maybe I can use this to add another collection :)

**After Attila says his piece, he allows Green Baron to speak**

Thanks, master!!

Jewel> Maybe you're being given a message with those tickets. If you find a bunch of rosaries in your new room, then you will know someone is trying to tell you something :)

Ironworlf> Welcome. I would agree that flirting with girls is not torture:) What kind of school did you go to. It sounds like one where they make smart kids feel guilty for getting high grades, because it may hurt the self-confidence of kids who don't do as well :)

Changing humanity> Why bother? I am more concerned about how I am. I really can't be too critical of humanity with all of my foibles, so I'll just make fun of them instead. I would have my cat serve as President. He dosen't believe in spending, he has few expenses, he believes pork-barrell legislation is wrong, and if he gets enough money in his collections, there won't need to be any taxes. He's also a eunech, so Larry Flynt won't be able to find anything on him.

Frollo> Personally, I don't see him as religious. He's more of an arrogant individualist who worships himself, and he killed a mother on the steps of Notre Dame. I liked the Arch Deacon who was similar to another character Hugo created, the Bishop in Les Miserables who changed Jean ValJean from a hardened criminal to a productive philanthropist.

I also think Hunchback should have been rated PG, but Disney owns the house Judiciary Committee, so they usualy get their way. They used their influence to pass a bill that would extend their copyrights by twenty years.

Scar> I see similarities between him and LBJ, myself.

Robby> Attila might show up at the party. I may have an internship with a stock firm so I am a little busy.

Gathering 99> I plan to be there. I hope to see all of you there. Attila won't be able to make it though. He blows all of his collection money on catnip :)

**Attila gets angry and starts chasing Green baron with his cat-of-nine tails, and Green Baron uses his odd pwers to dissapear**

Man, I really haven't caught up much with the room as of late. Been kinda busy with stuff but I guess you figured that out already :P

CR PICS-- Thanx to those that participated in the great comment room pic check last week (is it still going? I have no idea.) Now I know what Gorebash should fix once I ever get a chance to speak to him again. All I need to do is get with him then we got the rules, archive, & new pics here. The day is at hand. Just gotta wait, tis all.

GATHERING 99: THE GARGOYLES WORLD TOUR-- Been taliking with a friend of mine (actually, several friends of mine) that are on the planning staff for this year's convention in Texas. From what I hear, this one is gonna be one of the great ones. Check out the site at http://www.khatt.net/gwt/ or hit my name to get there.

And remember, this is a tentative list. Knowing the people planning this thing, there's bound to be more surprises in store. Just remember to register early to beat the rush and ensure yourself a place at the event. Also, with the t-shirt contest underway, it would be a great idea to start placing in your orders for t-shirts now so that once the design is chosen, the staff has more than enough to go around. Remember, don't order just one. Go for several. You never know when you might need a last minute gift for someone or a souveneir for the hell of it :)

SUPER BOWL-- Is it just me or did the commercials for this year's event just... suck. Hell, the commercials for the games prior to the big bowl were bette (i.e.- Volkswagen commercial where everything is in tune to the beat). The only ones that stood out in my mind were the M&Ms commercial, the Bud commercial, & the commercials for the movies "The Matrix" (very impressive), The Chow Yun-Fat film with Mark Wahlberg, "The Wild Wild West", and "The Mummy" (which looks surprisingly great).

ONE LAST NOTE-- To the Falcon's member that got arrested the day prior to the game. You're supposed to get some action AFTER the game, not before. Otherwise it's premature celebration :P

Till next time...

Thank you Princess Estra for adding more family to the insanity:)

Power rangers> three words Amy Joe Johnson, yep those goose bumps are back

Jewel> python directing a Gaiman story Shudder I am scared! I might laugh my self to death!! The Falcons need a new quarterback , they might have had a chance if he had not been playing(what 4 interceptions!!!)
Not really a Falcons fan but you gotta support the home team and heck the superbowl will be in Atlanta next year mabey they can do it then!
Speaking of the Super bowl everyone has heard about the prostitution Scandal right!!

Xena> That’s weird about the school thing. My third grade the teacher thought I was a complete idiot and wanted to put me in the special classes. Her reasoning was that I could not keep up with the class readings of silly squirrel(or some other nonsense). What she did not know was I read the stupid thing in 5 minutes and went on to; ether day dreaming, reading Judy Blume, comic books, or SF. My mom had to take my to the local college and have my IQ tested. The School system fails bright and imaginative children. Highschool I only showed up two to three times a week!! My English teacher , had her for jr. and AP, hated me because I was a speed reader and enjoyed to write. Man I had fun in that class!! Her idea of punishing me would be to stick me in a group of all girls and write a review of the story from a women’s perspective, (heheh ad&d gave plenty of acting experience for this not to mention 4 years of Drama)I mean please Mr. Fox Don’t through me in that Briar patch!! Hooking up a teenage boy with a group of girls when he can do their work in 15 minutes and spend the rest of the class time Flirting is not my idea of torture!!

Just joined in on this being a Gargoyles fan for a long time, and only found the comment room recently during some down time at work.
I have to admit the episodes for these last 2 weeks have been _very_ good, my compliments to Ms. (Mrs?) Smith-Hayden. Excellent plotting, character development and enough action to keep it intriguing.
I am looking forward to seeing what went down with Madoc at the castle, as well as what the heck those little flying things are.
About Lex and the seeking a mate issue - My bet is he was like me, interested and often jealous but really irritated by offers to set him up. I'll bet he has a crush on Liz, as to whether its returned, I'll leave that to the Saga authors. Besides all that, I suspect he's carrying around some serious guilt and image problems courtesy of his cyborging.

Well, thanks for the entertainment and a place to post my comments. Please keep up the good work gang.

Greetings, everyone. *waves like a tourist in a Disneyworld commercial :-) *

Doug> Good response to Complaint Guy.

TGS ep: No spoilers here, I just want to say that it was an excellent 2-parter.

Lexy> Maybe he has an inferiority complex and thinks that no one would want to be with him. You know, quitting while you're ahead?

Another Random Quote: "It is a sad thing to think of, but there is no doubt that Genius lasts longer than Beauty. That accounts for the fact that we all take pains to overeducate ourselves." - Oscar Wilde

That particular quote really made me think when I first read it. In fact, I still think about it from time to time. I don't find it sad that Genius lasts longer than Beauty. But I do think that is a reason why people feel inclined to overeducate themselves in some cases.

SPOILERS ALERT****
Would Lex jump at the chance to find a mate? I don't know, him and Liz are getting pretty close. And Goliath seems to be his usual slightly oblivious self.

I'm really impressed with the way Umbriel is developing. So how long was his solitary existance before he decided to join the Unseelie Court? Hmm, I'm sensing fanfic material here. Sigh, but I gotta finish what I've got started first.

I'm trying to remember, was Hope conceived while George was still completely human? Or is she another halfling?

Great ep, but I don't know if my opinion counts since I've never found a bad one. :)

**RP STUFF**

The screen lights up with Thailog's secret base. Tracker is on the viewscreen communicating with the leaders. "The Ravens have split up," he is saying. Only a third of their group was in Colorado Springs." Asil nods. "Judging from the destruction of our Borg factory in the Baja, and the report of Galante, the other two thirds must have been in the Baja and Wyoming areas recently. Masked Lich met his end in the latter." "Hmm," says Thailog. "That mobster Bucharev's spy told us nothing about this split. Where is Gennady now? I need to speak with him." "He left for Colorado Springs on his jet an hour ago," Guod says. "Said he had a factory where the manager was stealing profits. Bucharev needed to assert discipline." Thailog nods. "He may have an encounter with Elder and those with him. Send Bucharev a warning." Guod nods and motions to Tyl, who carries out Thailog's orders via his laptop.

The screen switches to Colorado Springs, where Doug and his team are approaching the factory. "Okay," Doug says to the others. "Let's get prepped." He turns to make a post in the CR.

**PAUSE RP**

SJ: Sorry I forgot to say so earlier, but thanks for that Chulthu site. It was funny and interesting. :)

Birdsong: Yep, Kitainia and I are together IRL. Been that way over a year now. It's great.

Batman Beyond ep: I liked it, too. Inque's a nice villain. And I loved Powers' "I have a condition" line. Good job on developing Bruce and Terry (who by the way looks like another Terry, whom I saw a picture of at the Gathering- Greg's New Olympians hero), too.

Glad some of you are supporting me on the Complaint Guy. I especially agree with what Gooch and Kaioto have added to my post. They said it better than I could in fewer words. Thanks, guys.

Complaint Guy: It's obvious my character assessment of you was correct. You don't care what we have to say, unless we say what you want us to. And you came here to insult us. Did you even read my big response to you? Do you even read this room? I guess not, or you would know that I have a life outside it, and my response had everything to do with your complaint. Sorry if you didn't get it. But oh well, at least it shut you up and to be honest, that was in a way my intention. See you later, hope you're not entirely turned off to the CR. But I also hope that when you come back, you'll research your responses more, and be more constructive and less of an anal jerk. No offense, but that's how you came across. And if you think I did likewise, read my post again. And remember the Golden Rule. That's all I have to say to you.

Jewel: Congrats on your new responsibilities. Hope they improve your life.

**NEW EP SPOILERS BEGIN**

Comments on the New ep: Great job, Spike! I really liked how you developed George and Richard. Also good job on Umbriel, Banshee, Lex (what was Madoc doing at the castle anyway, and what happened after Lex got conked out?), the twins, Sata and Brooklyn (their lines about romantic males went into my quote book), Goliath, and Madoc. I also liked this one's plot, and the pics were wonderful. Casey's death made me feel like crying, you really did a good job getting all the emotions across. I think this is the best ep TGS has done all season. Great job. Keep up the good work!

**SPOILERS END**

Superbowl: Well, I wanted the Falcons to win, I always root for the underdog. But the Broncos are a good team, too. So I'm glad they did so well. Maybe my pick will win next year. (Or if not, I hope I remember not to make any bets.)

Xena: Your idea for changing humanity is the best of all. Wish it could be done.

Steve Gooch: Welcome back. Hey, you like The Rock, right? Check out my latest fic at GFW (Captives). You might see a couple familiar faces. <grin>

Robby: Awaiting your feedback on the fic mentioned above. Hope you enjoy it. I'm already working on the sequel.

Okay, that's all for now. Have to run. Class across campus in twenty minutes. Warm up the bike, Kitainia!!

**RP AGAIN**

The team drives on, and arrives at the factory. They park, get out, and meet up with Sam. "What's the recon?" Doug asks the detective. "They have about thirty guards," Sam says. "All armed with machine guns and smoke grenades. Plus seven or eight management employees, all carrying pistols and clubs. Then there's forty or so robots armed with electric cattle prods and other devices that keep the workers in line, I think they're called Overseers." "Okay," Doug says. "Sounds like easy opposition." "One other thing. Gennady Bucharev himself just showed up in a limo with four heavily armed bodyguards and his accountant. It looks like they're doing a preformance review." "Oh hell," Doug sighs. "Odds just went up. Lathrop, we're going to need some disguise illusions and teleportation spells standing by for Boris's family. Better prep them now. Okay, everyone, check your weapons. We're going in." The screen goes blank.

Well it seems like no one cares about my opinion. Oh well, I tried. Go on then and continue with whatever you wish to post.

But I think I got my point across. One of you who reacted to my complant with some long, drawn out responce which had nothing to do with my complant. In fact he/she even took it personally. (I guess that proved the point of him not having a life) But it also shows last my 8-9 line post got a stronger message across than his 30 line post.

I guess my work is none, just keep what I have said in mind.

***SPOILERS FOR THIS WEEKS EP***

Excellent! Bravo! Bravo! I loved it! Most of the multi-parters in TGS are great, but this one stands above. Probably because I identify so much with Richard, and I like to see him succeed. And I knew that George wouldn't have the heart to harm his own child. That in itself proves he's more human than even he thinks.

What's going on here?" Then I stopped back about a long time after that and it wasn't so intimidating. Why? Because I started reading at the beginning of the week, kept my place, and kept up with the reading all week. That way you don't have to wait for the whole page to load.

Hi everyone, I really enjoyed reading your answers to my "Change Humanity" question. I myself truly think that humans will evolve sooner or later.

***UP COMMING STATEMENT CONTINUES***

The answer to my own question, is the most obvious one. The children, of course.

A few months ago I went to a free ciminar where a gentleman was giving a speech about increasing the power of your mind. Imagine if the children were taught this knowlage? I mean, the school system does not help much now a days. I've witnessed creative children denied their ablilities. eg. I, and a few of my freinds, were left behind a grade, because the teachers thought we were "handicaped". Obviously we weren't, we just could not understand the things that the teacher was teaching. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is this, by giving our children more choices in learning greater things, the human race will evolve more quickly. And I doubt it would cost a fortune to do it.

(Plus it won't take away our conflict between good and evil. If fact it will make life more interesting. A new adventure in the course of life!")

Thank you!
And bye for now.

A three hour tour... A three hour tour...

Well, that was a bit of last minute fun... Check the last few minutes of last week to understand what I'm talking about. Traveler, we'll have to compete again some time for first. Maybe next time one of us will make it!

Gargs in a solar eclipse- Since its biologically timed, and not direct sunlight that transforms them, they'd probably stay stone.

Long CR posts- Long? Hah! I seem to recall some TRULY long ones not too long ago... But I basically have to agree with everything Doug said on this.

Wilek- Whats "Living in the fridge" is another Weird Al song, a parody of living on the edge... We don't know whats living in the fridge, except its green and growing hair...

SJ- Ack, first Coyote and now you! You both stole my party ideas! WEIRD... I was also gonna have a bit between you and Kari, but I think yours came out better than mine would have... Maybe there's just more than a couple great minds in here thinking alike...

Superbowl commercials- Budwiser had most of the good ones. As usual. Not much from Pepsi this year. Odd. As for the actual game, I don't care, Minnesota didn't play.

**SPOILER FOR THIS WEEKS EPISODE**

Its one of Spike's works, of course its good. I liked it. Especially the ending... Heh heh heh... Won't say more than that, I may slip out on an important plot point while talking about it...

**END um... non- SPOILERS FOR THIS WEEK'S FIC**

**JIM'S POST-SUPERBOWL PARTY**

"I threw a party for THIS?" Jim asks after the Superbowl has ended. He then hears his sister's yell, and knows SJ is in some deep trouble... He decides to try and save the guy's skin.
"Hey SJ, could you come do that one dance your dad does?"
"Huh?"
"The Timewarp?" He looks at SJ, hinting that he's trying to help him escape his sister's wrath. Kari stares at Jim and he backs off. "Um, never mind... We'll come up with something else... You just stay here and talk to Kari... Heh heh..." He slowly backs off to the dance floor, leaving the poor scientist to his fate.Upon reaching the dance floor, he is inspired.

"Aweembo wey, aweembo wey..." Some other party guests catch on and start chanting along, and Jim course into the main verse. "In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight! In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight!" He takes a deep breath and then, "Aweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee he he he awuuumba wum ba wey... Aweeeeeeeee...."
At about this point,k someone knocks at the front door. And once the door is opened, in come... The Minnesota Vikings? (Who SHOULD have been at the Superbowl..) And the cast of Gilligan's island? (Which explains the three hour tour lyrics earlier...) Okay...

Lastly, over by the drinks, Brain is plotting. "See Pinky, but putting this toxin in the drinks, everyone here will fall under my control.
