Demona Taina : Given that proclamation you are now either jinxed or destined , given I'm in the competition , I'm sure you can guess which I'm hoping for . Not so many posts OK , remember Dumlao said last week that he "KNEW" we would'nt have a repeat of last week , meaning we are to make sure it does'nt happen .

Hey all, I'm baaaaaaaack

Ah, spring break was good. Got to see my old hisgh school's musical (Grease - it sucked), sleep late every day, pig out on free food, and milk the folks for all the cash they could spare. :) Now, plenty to catch up on...

JEB > <The Star Wars RPG conversions for Exo-Squad and Gargs sound very interesting... I don't suppose you have the texts in electronic form? I'd rather like to see them. :)> Uhh... some. But not very much. If you'd like information, let me know. Do you know how the Star Wasrs system works? It'll make explanation easier. And thanks!

I remember Brisco County, Jr. Good show, I watched it a lot. I also Dragonheart once, but I don't remember any parallels to gargoyles. Guess I'll have to see it again.

SJ > Ender's Game movie? AWESOME!! I loved that book! I'll have to let my friend, the guys who's read it 32 times, about that. All I have to say is, it better be good.

<they shot down one of our stealth planes> I've got a theory about this. LEt's just say the reason I think their air defense batteries were so surprisingly silent the first few days of bombing was because they were trying to get a reading on our stealth jets... then when bombs started exploding with no sign of a plane they just told all the Anti-aircraft artillery gunners to open up. Completely unguided fire, a wall of iron that no low, slow-flying stealth could get out of. Lucky shots, that's all. Besides, we've been using the F-117 since Panama in 1989 - ten years, and only one loss to enemy fire? I'd say that's a damn good track record. (And btw, Yugoslavia has a much better ADF than Iraq - becasue the latter's been under a strict arms embargo since 1991, and the Serbs have a ton of second and third-generation Russian equipment.)

Jewel > ROTFLMAO at your "whore corps" story. Thanks for the enteratinment! ;-)

TRC > <What's your favourite phrase to put on a missile> I'll have to go with "2,000 lbs of laser-guided goodness means never having to say you're sorry." :)

Jaden > <What happened to the Packs helicopter? They crashed it, repaired it, used it, and then what?> Sold it to Kenner? :)

Kaioto > <haul them in forcibly to the War Crimes Tribunal> I always say, there ain't no problem on earth that can't be solved by a special forces kindapping. But I completely argee with your assessment. We need to do more than just bomb targets, and we need to do it without the fear of the liberal (sorry) media sensationalizing every friendly casualty as another reason why we should bring our people home. Problem is if we were to send in ground troops (i.e. "invade" Serbia), *we* would be made out to be the (ahem, reverting to standard socialist drivel here) "warmongering imperialistic bandits wishing to disrupt the lives of the peace-loving people of Serbia with their aggressive invasion." <- picture that coming out of, say, the Chinese Xinghua News Agency. What we've got to do is ignore the negative publicity and, as George C Marshall said, "Don't look back. Look forward to your next objective."

Green Baron > <Missiles> How about a missile defense so we can take out their missiles before they hit us?> Well, the Senate just gave the go-ahead to resume SDI missile defense plans. Space and ground-based lasers, airborne missile-killers, all really cool stuff.

All right, I'm all caught up... Now to read the eps I missed. 'Night all.

**Robby hold MR. C 2 for a moment, temporarily borrowed from Fluer. He walks out of the room, targests Chris Holcolm, and fires the bastard to smithereeenies.**

I've wanted to do that for a loooooong time. And the word bastard is not an innapropriate one, its Australia's national adjetive. (Ask me about that some time...)

School stuff- I've never once actually worried about this. My dad has. **Rolls eyes** My grades have always been fine, and I've never done extra credit. As a result, I'm 92nd out of 480 something. Not as good as I could do, but I really don't care. After all, money talks. Its that simple. (And besides, Validvictorians and the top 2% have GPA's of like, 107.9 or 4.2... WHo wants to work that hard?

Kitainia- Nice rant, there's a station or two like that here. And Midi's never have lyrics, its a downside to them. WAV's do, but they are rarely used for songs.

60 minutes- Bit of a dissapointment. The full Starwars footage wasn't long at all. It showed a snippit of a race, and the main alien sidekick, a creature with REALLY long ears. That was about it. The sick thing? Ya just know people are going to be sleeping in the streets to be first in line for tickets to this movie. If it DOESN'T set records, I'll be very surprised.

Why the heck am I making a full fledged post before the wipe? Oh well...

*Arianna enters the CR, rather unceremoniously.*
Hi, all. I thought I'd stop by now, then come back again for the top ten later on.

Missile Notes> "Life is so over-rated."
"At least it's not slow IN ADDITION TO painful."
"It could be worse...I think..."
"Consider this a...learning experience."
"On the bright side, maybe this is just a dream. Or not."
"This builds character."

Blue> As a current junior in high school, let me say that if more people realized what you said, high school would be much more fun. I was one of those people who wanted to do everything, and was utterly miserable until I realized that I wouldn't be able to do anything until I started enjoying my life again. SO, I got a social life, I was in a musical, I was in HMC, and now I'm much happier. My grades still aren't as stellar as they were in grade school...but I'm enjoying life again. And there is something to be said for that.

Kitainia>Prom should be fun...if I don't die waiting for it (its April 24th. I was anticipating problems finding a dress. They didn't happen, and I found one in the second store I looked at.) And Arawn is quite a good dancer.

This has nothing to do with Gargs or TGS, but guess who was on the X-Files tonight? Andrew J. Robinson, also known as Garak, my absolute favorite Cardassian in Star Trek. I loved it.

I'll go now. See you all a little later...

RP WARNING
**Atlanta, Georgia. Turner Dungeon
Green Baron sits in his cell when there is a crash sound as a figure in a suit and football helmet crashes through the wall. Three more crashes are heard as three figures in teh same outfit appear through the other walls. It's Jack Kemp, Steve Largent, JC Watts, and JD Hayworth. Jack takes off hsi helmet and speaks, "Well, teh Drudge Report said you were in Ted Turner's dungeon so we gave it 110% to get you out. Suddenly, two figures appear. It's the evil Katie Couric and Gerry Spence, a bleedingheart defense attorney. They are also guards for Thailog. JD Hayworth winds up a toy and it grows to the size of a human being. It's the Bob Barr doll that opens his arms to teh two guards saying, "I'm Bob Barr and I want to be your friend. Do you want to go to Church with me?" The two run screaming while Bob Barr chases them with open arms.**
PAUSE RP

Oscars> I didn't see it, but I am really glad that Elia Kazan finally got an Oscar. I wish he got it thirty years ago, an dif I was there, I would carry on the biggest cheer I could for a great American like Elia Kazan. He's earned that Oscar!

Kosovo> Milosevich is a murderer, Communist, and populist. Forget airstrikes, march in there and come back with Slobodan's head. Otherwise, stay out of it. Airstrikes don't work.

Missiles> How about a missile defense so we can take out their missiles before they hit us?

Ironwolf> Rare is good. If I can't have it rare, I won't eat it. I don't like it charred though. Charcoal tastes lousy and makes me sick. I probably won't liv eto long, but I don't drink or smoke and I'm a 21 year old virgin, so I deserve at least one vice, right :)

BTW, do you know soemone named Dave Wheat or Chuck Wheat?

Blue Caeru> I got a 26 on my ACT. I don't really care except for scholarship purposes. Only the top sophomores an dJuniors at my High School could take the PSAT and I took it both years.

As for guys, I think you sell yourself short.

Kaioto> Maybe you're conservative views scared them off. Some of them can be real bleeding hearts. My principal was a bit nervous when I mentioned my then thoughts about the priesthood. He of course thinks the Tridentine Mass should be outlawed along with the cassock, and he also thought the Pope betrayed Vatican II. Nice guy, but a complete pinko. I don't paln that route now, but I will be a Deacon after I'm married and I hope to ahve a future son or two become Priests (and I would like them to be Bishops and Abbots, too). It is aggravating getting dumped by someone you realy like, because of something that shoudln't matter at least for the first year. I think there's a girl who likes me and she is right now in RCIA, and she is also fond of Latin prayers and old-fashioned traditions. I just need to ask her out :)

Brisco County Jr> I loved that show.

Jaden> My firm has an Office in Los Alamos. I guess I shoudl pass up the chance of being a Broker there if it arises :)

Lady Ariana> Have a good time at prom. I only to the one my Senior year, and my date later dumped me the day before graduation, because I was too boring. Now, I wish I skipped that. I'm glad I didn't pay for anything :)

Doug> Matthew Milam is a troll who occasionally angers everyone at the main CR and get sbanned by Gorebash. Dumalo knows more about it. Milam and Gore hate each other, so I figured him being forced to watch FoTD repeatedly would be a good torture :) I wonder if Dumalo gets a laugh out of that one.

SJ> I have another sign of the Apocalypse. A few months ago on Crossfire, bleeeding-heart Senator Paul Wellstone (D-Minn) tolf Pat Buchanan how great his book is, an dhow Pat sounds like a Democrat, and by this he means Jane Fonda/Ted Kennedy Democrat. Scary, huh?

Coyote> I am listening, though it would be kind of awkward. I guess I should get the courage to ask out the nice girl who will be converting next Easter :)

Fleur> Jehova's Witnesses? I knew soemone who invited them to pray with her. She gave each of them a rosary and said, "We pray my way". I have about seven rosaries so I could probably do that :)

**RP WARNING**

The screen comes on with the continuing battle in Colorado Springs. By now, only a few walkers remain standing and there is a huge pile of dead stormtroopers, smashed battledroids, and dead or dying Colorado Springs citizens who unfortunately got caught in the crossfire. In the skies above the city, Wilek's fleet manages to shoot down one of Nipon's Imperial Star Destroyers. It crashes into the latest new eyesore of a tall building, completely destroying both skyscraper and ship. The battle continues as it starts a huge fire all over downtown. On the ground James Elder grabs Doug's shoulder and says, "Come on! Let's get out of this war zone!!" "Dad!" Doug complains. "I'm saving the world here. Let me do it for crying out loud!" "Yeah, let him make his own decisions," Kitainia says, walking up and in the same motion blowing away a battledroid that has its gun aimed at the Suburban. "Oh, by the way, I'm Kitainia. Your son may have told you about me." Doug's dad looks at her and adopts a very surprised expression. "Son, this is your girlfriend?" "Yeah, Dad," Doug grins. "Isn't she great? Now come on, Dad! Let's kick some butt!" James Elder looks around the battlefield. "Hmm," he says, "everyone is either dead, close to dying, or running away. I'll choose the latter." He turns his car around and drives away as fast as he can go. "Wimp," Kitainia rolls her eyes. "Or prudent," says Doug. "What does it matter? Let's save the world!" Kitainia nods and as they continue battling the invasion forces, turns to make a post.

**PAUSE RP**

Hi. Just want to make a few replies before the room clears. Hope someone reads them. :)

SOROW: Good luck in that competition.

JEB: I read that Fantos Gargoyle entry. Good job. I look forward to seeing more AD&D stuff from you. I also remember Brisco County, Jr. I used to watch it a lot. He was one of the three main darkhaired TV guys I had a crush on, the others being Xanatos and Bruce Wayne. And I am among the many who saw and enjoyed Dragonheart (even though Bowen and Kara should have kissed!).

Mary: Good luck to you, too, on your PSAT tests.

Forcing Ideas on Others: I've already said how much I hate people who do this several times. In here and to the people who do it. The latter has unfortunately done little good in getting rid of people like that.

**WARNING- UPCOMING KITAINIA RANT AT 3 O'CLOCK**("Roger, what should I do until then?" Whap!)

Doug and I recently switched most-frequently listened to radio stations. Why? Well, our old station was getting too rude and obnoxious for our tastes. It started doing frequent commercials for itself that insulted other stations. (example- "You see a dog's head sticking out of a car window? That's because the owner has another station on and the dog's trying to get away and jump in your car because you have our station on. Nice doggy.") Another one had celebrities insult and threaten the listeners ("And now a word from our artists Bare Naked Ladies- 'Hi folks, I'm Ed. I'm Steve. I'm Tyler. You're listening to our station, if you so much as try to touch that dial, I will slap your wrist so hard your head will spin.'"). Then there was their music, which did have a few good songs but they played bad ones MUCH more often. Songs like "All about the money" (terrible message in there, and awful tune), the Sunscreen speech (which isn't even a song, I don't know Boz Lurhman fooled people into thinking it was one), and other whiny-tuned songs with terrible lyrics like Everlast's "What it's Like." All this coupled with its increasingly obnoxious DJs and the morning show finally got Doug and me fed up.

The morning show of this station is so awful that it deserves its own rant paragraph. It has the aforementioned obnoxious co-hosts JB and Sandy. These guys talk so much that there is hardly ever any music in the four hours for which they're on the air. That alone makes one want to put on a CD just so they can wake up (music helps people wake up more than talk, it's a proven fact), but the worse thing is there's nothing of value in their talk. They tell dumb jokes, take callers who are the same sorts of obnoxious jerks they are (and it's the same callers over and over, almost never anyone else), and the subjects of their shows are always something incredibly stupid which they of course glorify like it should be part of heaven. Example- Their most recent subject was parents who lie to their kids. They would call up parents and ask them what lies they tell their kids just to get the kid to be a certain way. One parent talked about how she's been fooling her kids since they were three with a lie that Toys R Us is a musuem and they don't sell anything there and another lie that you don't need money to play videogames, you can just grab the joystick and play away. The hosts and the caller were laughing about this on the air, the hosts were encouraging such practices! I found myself thinking, "For the love of God, what is wrong with them? Every parent in their right mind knows that lying to a kid about ANYTHING, especially stuff like this, is the best way to turn them against you when they get old (remember the cookie jar syndrome?), do these people want that? If I had an Uzi, I'd be down at that station committing mass murder right now!" And I didn't have to turn on their show to hear this stuff, either. They air it over and over again in commercials for the morning show all day. This encouragement of lies is only the tip of the iceberg. They also have jokes about a man going around town dressed in nothing but a thong (excuse me, but I don't see what's funny about this), imitations of celebrity voices that create situations worse than the tabloids, and other really dumb or bizzare jokes which nobody should find funny but a lot of people unfortunately do. It was like King of the Hill meets PJs meets Jerry Springer, Family Guy, and a whole bunch of other stupid TV shows I could name. The worst thing is their show is very popular. What is the world coming to? :(

So we're boycotting the station in protest of all this. I hope more of its listeners read this and see what we're talking about, thus convincing them to change their ways. Whether or not, we're happy with the mix of rock, hip-hop, and rap station we now listen to. It has music much better than our old station's, no stupid selfish obnoxious commercials, and it has morning DJs who occasionally chat to each other about interesting subjects but no morning show. It's so much better. :)

**RANT OVER NOW**

Coyote: Great song, thanks for posting the lyrics. Robby's midis unfortunately don't have them sometimes. Don't worry, I'm sure she'll come back to you. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, true love conquers all. Good luck.

SJ: You're not a genius? You must be a good actor, then. :)

**BEGIN COMMENTS ON MOD SQUAD**

Doug already said most of what we thought of this movie. It was better than the critics said it was, but one could see where they were coming from. Bad script, cliched plot, laughable dialogue. But the three leads did preform well, and there were some great moments (like the end where Peter goes "Yeah, Bob!"). I'm glad I saw it, but I wouldn't see it again.

**END COMMENTS ON MOD SQUAD**

Arianna: Have fun at your prom, hope Arawn's a good dancer. <grin>

Kaioto: I agree with you about Iraq and the Balkans. We need to start doing war right again, get out of the "Vietnam syndrome." Hopefully in our next big war we'll get a Prez with the brains and courage to do so, one who listens to the public instead of the pundits, one who won't let people suffer and die while he fulfills the wishes of some stupid protest committee (reference to the New Star Wars movie here). Unfortunately that guy probably won't last long in office, thanks to our stupid media and the amount of political animals in office right now. <GRRRRRRR>

Goliath's babe: Your real name is Elisa, right? :) Welcome to the CR. In answer to your question, I'm not sure. I think it's because of the lack of new Gargs episodes, and the really stupid attitude most TV programming executives have these days.

Jaden: Ooh, your hometown sounds like a boring place. You thinking of moving out or staying there? Just curious. <grin>

Blue: Nice speech about high school. I agree with every bit of it. I remember people doing the exact same things you said when I was in high school. It was terrible. They had so many expectations they were trying to fulfill, and that was causing them so much stress they couldn't fulfill them all. Thus they could not be happy. Only a few of the students (myself included) were able to realize this and thus we came out of high school better people than all of them. The worst thing about high school being an environment of competition is so many of the people in there encourage it. The parents, the coaches, the counselors, the teachers and students, the cliques. It takes a very emotionally strong person to live with, conquer, and ignore it all.

Ironwolf: You got a potential girlfriend? Great! Good luck with her, I can see you want the relationship to continue a lot.

Fleur: Glad you're feeling better. And yeah, Doug's and my first meeting was pretty fortunate. We didn't see any identical women nearby at the time, we were much too busy paying attention to each other (it gets like that with people like us). But I did think I saw an older redhaired woman smile strangely at us from out of the corner of my eye. When I looked again, she was gone. You think it was?...Nah! Anyway, divine intervention or not, I'm happy Doug and I met. I hate to think how my life would be without him, glad I'll never know.

Voting Poll: I hope Gargoyles wins. I did enjoy Animaniacs, but Gargs was a WAY, way better show. More educational, better characters and plots, etc, etc, etc. But of course the contest isn't fair, so I don't know if us winning really matters. :(

Guess that's all for now. Be back later to try and make first!

**BACK TO RP**

The battle continues, Kitainia and Doug blasting battledroids back to back. Another Star Destroyer, this one a Victory, is blown to smithereens. Next to it, one of Wilek's Borg-ships lands on Nipon's Super Star Destroyer flagship and starts assimilating it. The last two walkers are smashed on the ground, and Shreck, Jerec, and the remaining stormtroopers realize they're outclassed by their opponents, in numbers, tactics, and in emotions being contributed to the fight (which in this case, count more than force of arms). "Retreat!" Shreck yells. "We can still complete the rest of the mission," says Jerec, noticing all the speeders they have left. "We have to lead them away from NORAD. Troops, let's go that way!" He points in a random direction (which is towards Cheyenne Mountain but Jerec doesn't see that because the crashed Star Destroyer is in the way) and all the Imperial army's speeders zoom off. "They're headed for the mall!" Doug says. "After them!" He and Kitainia hop on the Road Moccassin and give chase, Cobra and Fauline following on their bikes with Keith and Stephanie riding tandem. Lathrop conjures a huge air elemental to carry the others. "Wilek, you stay behind and mop up the remaining stormtroopers," Kitainia says into her comm. "Then go help your fleet with their ships. Jammer, stay with Wilek. He'll need to know how to turn the Optimal Onslaught into flight mode." "Got it," Jammer says, running for the mech's leg, then climbing up and into the body/cab. The others jet off in pursuit of the group of speeders. From the shadows of the collapsed skyscraper, an invisible pink imp watches them go and grimaces. "This is wrong!" Zezil growls to itself. "They're winning! That's not supposed to happen, it's not Lord Deavik's plan! Must be due to their new arms supplier, they didn't use the weapons that were supposed to fail in this battle. The boss ain't gonna like this!" He promptly teleports back to Deavik's fortress to tell him what's going on. For what happens there and the continuance of the ongoing main story, see the next RP post.

**BUT FOR NOW, WE MUST END THE RP**

Toilet trained cats. Many years ago I lived in an efficiency apt with my furfoots. Have you ever got woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of someone tinkling in you toilet? You had to turn at the bed, so I'd have heard someone come in. I woke up and turned on the light, there perched on the toilet was Stupid (big brown on brown striped extom
smart cat but looked stupid when you petted him on the head.). He had trained himself to use the toilet. Scared the hell out of me that night.

Jewel, Re: Pem East Whore Corps story> Tell me, are there any other interesting stories about Bryn Mawr? Sounds like an absolute blast!!!

Doug and Kitania > The story of how you two met is amazing. You sure you didn't see three identical women with different coloured hair hanging around at the time? :) Thanks for the well wishes, but I'm better now. I think it was just one of those 8 hour things. I'm mostly bummed I missed the RP club meeting.

Wilek> >Kewl adaptation of Mr. Carter.< *grins* Thank you. That's high praise from somebody who just keeps coming up with more and more interesting and painful ways to kill Mr Dis. I'm honoured. :)

SOROW> Glad you're feeling better, and congrats on your trophy!

Jaden> >I can live with that, how about you?< Yup. Like you said, normal is just too boring. <G>

Cryway> When you say your cat's toilet trained, do you mean it uses the human toilet? My best friend's cat has done this, and man, it is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Lets just say those twistie cats couldn't do it. :)

Peter> >The wierdest thing was that I was nervous before I presented but as soon as I got up in front of the class my nervousness vanished.< That happens to me all the time. Makes presentations sooo much easier, don't you think? :)

Mary> Good luck with your SAT tests.

TRC>The trouble you have with Mormons is the same as the trouble I have with Jehovah's witnessess. But they stopped coming to my house when my brother answered the door dressed as the devil. (Don't worry, this isn't his normal way of dressing - he was filming a media project with his mates when they knocked on the door. The timing could not have been any sweeter. Best of all, they filmed it!!! >:))

******* RANT ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL *******
Um, all this talk of those standardized tests we have to take in high school has brought back unpleasant memories for me. What bothers me a lot about high school is the competition. Things can get very fierce, and if you do badly on a couple of things it can feel like the end of the world... your scores/activities are so crappy and pointless that no decent school's gonna accept you, and you'll never get any respect. And then there's the first realization that you won't get to do all those wonderful things you wanted to do because there isn't enough time to practice your music, work on those science projects, do your papers, run your clubs, volunteer at the hospital... And you work so hard so you'll get into a good school, only to find out it all didn't really matter because your test scores weren't high enough anyway, your grades suffered because you were too busy and tired, and you didn't have enough ability in the first place. Also, let's not forget "big-fish-in-a-little-pond" syndrome...
******* END RANT *******

Sorry about that, everyone. I wish all of you in high school the best of luck. But remember not to take it all too seriously. Competition is good, up to a certain point. Then it takes over life. Just do your best, don't let things get you down for too long, and remember that you don't have to be _the best_ out of everyone. You don't have to keep "proving" yourself. And don't over-estimate your own abilities - I had an acquaintance who did that. He applied to only two Ivy Leaugue schools, and got rejected by both. He is now stuck at a local university that is not, shall we say, ranked so high. I know I'm probably proselytizing, sorry. This is a topic I'm rather touchy about... I've even gone so far as to write a sarcastic letter to the local newspaper in my senior year of high school on the sometimes ridiculously high expectations.

** RP Death **
Kaioto walks into the CR and quickly singles Sli Sludge out in a secluded corner. While the CR's resident plague spreader is engrossed in his bizarre experiments with pathogens, the gray-trench coated Seeker stalks quietly over behind him until the distance is closed sufficiently for Kaioto to poke Sli in the back with his index finger.
"What?!" Sli exclaims as he whirls around, cringing. As Sludge realizes who is poking him, he gradually relaxes from his pose of immanent pain. "What do ~ you ~ want?" Sli sneers, "I'm too busy to be bothered with the likes of you, and where did you get that stupid bandanna? It looks like the symbol came of the old "Barrel of Monkeys" game. Urk!"
Sli Sludge's droll and offensive mutterings are cut short as the Seeker clamps a hand over his throat and slams his form up against the wall with one hand.
"Hey, you don't do this sort of thing! You can't. It is against your nature!" Sli attempts to squeal through the choking grip over his Larynx.
"I have some exceptions. Daemon-spawn is one of them," the Seeker says, his gray eyes flint cold and his voice venomous. His hand reaches around and grabs hold of a nearby sledgehammer. "This Nurgle infestation has got to go," he states plainly as he throws Sludge to the floor. With a few brief words of invocation and exorcism, Kaioto raises the now-glowing hammer high above his head.
The nimbus about his weapon like silver fire, the Seeker makes a simple request of the condemned, "Take this to your disease-demon master." With brutal efficiency, Kaioto swings the hammer down in a ferocious series of arcs for the next few minutes, driving the various corporeal pieces of Sli through the floor and out of the dimension with flashes of silver and gold. When the work is finally done, the gray warrior-poet wipes his brow and throws away his hammer, the air wreaking of Hellfire and Brimstone.
"Hit all my friends and then have the audacity to give me an ~ ear infection ~ of all things, does he?" the man in the gray trench coat mutters as he goes to post. "Well I hope he likes his vacation spots ~ really ~ hot." Kaioto looks over his shoulder one last time at the sledgehammer and reflects thoughtfully, "You know, the old way of turning isn't half as satisfying."
** End RP **

Green Baron> Nice to here from you again. You know, I was always kind of discouraged subconsciously by the fact that none of the Jesuits at my high school ever recommended me to the priesthood. Still, my mind and heart are open to a Calling, whatever form it may take. I know I am called to be a Servant and a Seeker of Truth. In what capacity I shall best fulfill these rolls, I do not yet possess the insight to determine. Instead, I wait patiently, preparing and doing whatever I can here and now.

Dumped because you are Catholic. You know, that actually really aggravates me.

PSATs: National Merit Scholarships are based on a score of your PSATs, computed by 1/5 your verbal score + 1/10 your math score. It is free money, so take it. I pulled a 1400 on my PSATs, lower than I did sophomore year when we took them for practice. My SATs outscored all of those, but - of course - the one that could've netted me some serious money or reputation was the lowest of all of them.

Murphy's Law of Hydrodynamics: "Things get worse under pressure."

Balkan Fighting: It is a sad flaw of man that we need fight murder with yet more killing. Still, we can not allow military aggression, conquest, and "ethnic cleansing" (aka genocide) to be practiced. The biggest problem I see with this approach, however, is that we are doing it in a half-a$$ed manner. We want to stop these dictators and generals from slaughtering people, then haul them in forcibly to the War Crimes Tribunal. Bombs and missiles can't take prisoners or hold ground. They can only make it hard for a military to wage war in the long run. Tell me this, what general in his right mind is going to surrender so he can go before a war crimes tribunal? No one is going to, nor is it likely that his followers will turn on him, because they are united in centuries of hatred that no amount of bombing can deprogram. They will not submit due to bombings before thousands more are slaughtered. If America was not so stuck in Vietnam syndrome, forgetting what we are fighting for at the first sight of a coffin or a POW, we'd move real troops in and decimate their military and military only with real, thinking, intelligent soldiers. Soldiers can evaluate and select targets and solve problems. Bombs and missiles just blow stuff up. If we really want to stop these miniature Hitlers, then we must go for the throat.

Wilek: Honestly, you probably don't want to know about Malakai. There are some things we'd feel a lot better being ignorant of, he is probably one of them. Still, I feel he can not be stopped from infiltrating my writing. I'll say simply this: to him, the world is dead and/ or dying. There is nothing anyone can do to stop it, and God is dead. The only joy he finds is in fighting a war against evil, as he perceives it. Everyone is merely a corpse waiting to fall over, so who cares if a few get knocked around? He blinds himself in despair, believing himself empty inside, and consequently he make what he perceives into reality with his actions. Eventually, he will really be as hollow inside as he perceives himself to be, and then he will be consumed entirely. *shudders*

If you really want to know more about him, I'll send you some profile scenes when I have them.

Brisco County Jr, : I watched and was highly amused. It was entertaining and somewhat witty. I liked it.

Street Fighter movie: I agree, Van Damme looked all wrong for the role, even if he did do a good job. Same deal with Ken, Ryu, Cammy, Deejay, and T-Hawk. Vega was cool, though. So were Sagat, Honda, and Zangief (I loved how he went berserk after he found out Deejay was paid and not him, then switched sides. Even better was Deejay's face when he found out that all the money he stole became worthless after Bison's regime toppled). Chun Li and Balrog were okay. As for Bison, well, don't get me started. Raul Julia looked the part, and he did a GREAT job, at least in my opinion. His kids must be proud. Too bad he died in production. :(

Jaden: I was just kidding about us being partners, man. I know it probably won't happen. But hey, nice idea, right?

Wilek: Yes, weird things do go on in FF7. But don't worry, the Wall Market stuff is the only time in the game sex comes into play. Overall it is a very cool game, too bad the ending sucks, and I had to turn to fanfic to get a good one. <Whoops>

Song I attached last post- Like I said, I knew the song was the wrong one due to the artist, but its the only one with that title I could find. At about this point, being CR DJ just isn't the fun it used to be. Most of the good sites, (and thus a selection of several thousand songs) are gone. And this is like the fourth song in a row I haven't been able to find... Stupid lawyers. **Thwacks Kenny as a symbol against all lawyers.** Maybe its because the only requests I've been getting are hard to find obscure things pre 90's and the midi era...

Coyote- BOHICA? No clue what that means.

SJ- Nice RP, the interaction with Kari is working well.

X-Men movie- I've said for year Patrick Stewart would be the perfect proffessor X, but beyond that, I've never seen any actor that quite lives up to the looks required to match a drawing. The Street Fighter movie is a great example. They spent 8 MONTHS looking for actors that looked the part, and they came up with Van Damm as Guile? Oii...

Pack helicopter- I always figured they stowed it away for emergencies. I mean, why fly a lousy, noisey copter when you can enjoy gliding to just about anywhere? And at this point, if they get anywhere, its easier to have Xanatos air transport them while they sleep. Shorter ride for them.

Missle Note- "Hakuna Matata"

You're supposed to be an expert investigator; tell me how so many enemy spies have been slipping past state-of-the-art technology." Lt. J: "I..." Khesaat: "I used to be a security chief myself, you know, before I became the previous station's tactics officer, and I did some investigating of my own.

*Lady Arianna melts out of the shadows.*
Hi, all.

I have a prom dress! It's on hold, and I'm going back tomorrow to buy it. I know that has nothing to do with Gargoyles OR TGS, but I am soooo happy. Now I can relax about that for awhile.

All those thoughts on Naught....hmmm...now I'm really intrigued.

Sorow> Congrats on your award! I used to always win these academic awards, and I think it was because all my teachers thought I was the embodiment of everything a student is supposed to be...Boy, did I ever prove them wrong! Now, if I can just manage the French award, and beat one of the top ranked students in the class ahead of me (I skipped a year of French because someone thought I knew what I was doing. I think they were blinded by the fact that I actually tried to pronounce words correctly, instead of how they looked.) for the third year in a row, and I will be happy. It never fails to annoy him.

Mary Flanders> Hmm...sounds like me the first time I took the SAT. It was slightly different, because I was in seventh grade (blasted Duke TIP program ruined me for life). I was (at the time) a low confidence sort of person, and I was sick with the flu, so I basically started crying before the test started, managed to stop during the test, and then the second my mother asked me how it went, I burst into tears again. I cried for hours. When I took it this year, I managed not to cry until my scores came. :)

Missile notes> Hmm, I can think of a few.
"And you thought yesterday was a bad day."
"Game over."
"What is big and shiny and goes BOOM!! ?"
"Winning is, of course, entirely objective."
"Look on the bright side...Uhh..."
(I'm well aware that none of these was all that funny.)

Deuce> Look on the bright side of being a depressed Oilers fan...there are hundreds, if not thousands of other depressed sports fans out there, too. Take me, for example. My two favorite teams -- Wake Forest (college basketball) and the Charlotte Hornets (NBA basketball...although I harbor the deep rooted belief that Duke could beat them.). The only team in the Central Division with a worse record than Charlotte is...ha, ha...Chicago. Forget Wake. They barely made the NIT. I swear, I always love losing sports teams.

JEB> Yeah, it's been awhile since I've made it here. Hopefully, in the future, that will change. I hope I'll either A. Learn to live with little or no sleep, and therefore have no time, or B. Have some great insight into the inner workings of AP Chemistry, and therefore have more time that I don't spend studying. A is the more likely choice.

Wilek> Story> Sorry about that... I hate it when I can't make a story work. If you want to risk the damage to your story, I'm willing to offer my help. For what that's worth.

French dubbed version of "Jingle all the Way"> Oh, god. Help us all. I hate French dubbed movies. However, they're better than the French movies with subtitles. Which are really very little fun. I hate those. Speaking of French movies, or rather, movies that I am forced to watch in French IV, I rather liked "A Lion in Winter" (about Eleanor of Aquitaine) -- Katharine Hepburn was awesome...she was sooo evil. I also like Cyrano de Bergerac...which brings me to my next subject...

Hopeless romantics> Oh, yes. That describes me perfectly. We watched Cyrano de Bergerac, and I was practically in tears when she is telling him all about the man she loves, and he thinks it's him, and it ends up being someone else. I was ready to cry. In fact, I think I did.

Well, that's all for now...I have much to do as always. See you all later...

**RP WARNING**

At the NORAD base, a portal opens and Tyl, Corax, and Kharsus walk through. "You're the help Thailog sent?" T'angelo asks them. "Yeah," says Tyl. "Where's the NORAD main computer?" The gang leader points at it and the two evil hackers sit down and begin looking at the system. "They've increased their security," notes Corax. "This won't be that easy." "We can break in," Tyl shrugs. "What do you need?" "First seal off the mountain," T'angelo commands. "Then I'll need you to override the PAL system so we don't have to enter codes to launch this place's nukes." "Okay. Give me two or three hours, tops." "Nukes?" asks Jerry. "We're launching nukes?" "Yeah!" T'angelo yells, pointing a gun at him. "You got a problem with that, god boy?" "Uh, no," Jerry shrugs. "Who are we firing them at again?" "China," says T'angelo, lowering the gun. "Oh, good," Jerry grins. "An atheist country." "Yeah," T'angelo chuckles. "Atheist." "Hey boss!" one of the gang members suddenly breaks in. "I found a package for us!" "What?"

The screen changes to the middle of Colorado Springs, where the Ravens and Wilek's team are assaulting the Imperial invasion forces. Several hundred Colorado Springs citizens have joined them, arming themselves with whatever weapons they can find. The good guys are dealing heavy damage, but are being forced to run and dodge among the enemy forces just to dodge the bad guys' laser shots. "Get 'em, maggots!" Shreck yells at his stormtroopers. "Prove you're men!" Doug fires at the Colonel and he ducks to avoid the plasma burst. Doug is then chased away from the Colonel's landspeeder by laser fire and does a somersaulting roll to get out of the path of a falling AT-AT Wilek has knocked over with one slap of his Mech's hand. Doug leaps up and blasts three battledroids aiming at him, then spins around and shoots down two firing at Kitainia. She gives him a smile of thanks. As the battle continues, Doug yells out a CR post.

**PAUSE RP**

Hi everyone. I'm back. Not much to say, but here we go.

Lexy: Good points about RL and Net relationships. I prefer RL myself, but then I've never had the other, so I can't really be sure.

Zoot-Suits: Great creativity demon. I've been having a few interesting ones myself lately. All inspired by a Pinky and the Brain ep where Pinky asks "If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why does he keep on doing it?" They all involved Jimmy first being told he's wasting his time cracking corn, and then trying to get another job and failing because he has no other skills. Poor Jimmy.

Jaden: You wanna be a cop too, eh? Maybe if you move to Austin to I move to Los Alamos, we can be partners. :) That's great, man. Good luck with your ambition.

Alternate Personality: Hmm. I know, I'll have one like Spike on Buffy. That way, I can be a smart, wisecracking, tough, badass vampire and still have human emotions in my other self. Hehehe. Speaking of Spike...

**DC's Gonna Die!!!**
Doug suddenly jumps into the CR, grabs DC, and says "What's the big idea of you crashing my server this morning and preventing me from getting online?" "Uh uh..." "Ah, who cares? No matter what excuse you have, you're still going to die!" Doug slips into his alternate Spike persona, bares his fangs, and drains DC of blood. The jerk screams, and Doug throws him to the floor, slipping back into his normal persona and drawing a loaded crossbow. He waits for DC to turn into a vampire, and then shoots him in the heart, turning him to dust. "Let's see you come back from that," Doug quips, stepping back into his fight.
**DC'S DEAD, NOW THAT WAS FUN**

**BEGIN SPOILERS FOR MOD SQUAD**

Well, I saw this movie yesterday, and it was okay. I could see where the critics are coming from, though. The movie was pretty cliched, the plot took some getting into, and there weren't any interesting lessons to be learned. But the three leads did turn in great preformances even with the somewhat lousy script. I especially liked the acting done by Claire Danes. They were also developed well throughout the movie. Overall, Mod Squad had its moments. Especially the very cool action-packed end scenes. If you like police action movies, this isn't the best but it is pretty good. So go see it if you want. Thumbs up, seven.five/ten stars.

**END SPOILERS FOR MOD SQUAD**

Pack helicopter: In my fanfic the clan had to stop using it because they only had so much gas. That seems like a plausible explanation to me. It's probably still in a garage somewhere, lying in wait if the clan ever needs it again. Or maybe it got reclaimed by Xanatos while they slept in stone.

Brisco County: Never watched that show myself. Heard it was real good, though. :)

Wilek: $ Sorry about assuming your entire team was in the restaurant, good to know someone's remembering about human close-mindedness and fear. Oh well, we had a werewolf and a half-garg (disguised as human) in the restaurant and nobody noticed them, so I guess there were no problems. :) As for the rest of your team, like you said, we called them for help after the attack began. $

FF7: Yeah, Vincent's Chaos form does look like a garg. But of course, that's not what it's supposed to be. Chaos was the demon final boss of the first Final Fantasy game, that's who Vincent turns into. Of course, the original Chaos was a lot more powerful and harder to take down.

Mary: Good luck with your PSAT and other tests. I remember having to take those things myself. I didn't do so well. I got a 1200 on the PSAT (average score) and then a 1160 on the SAT (not that great). Then I took a review course (those really help) and took the SAT again, got a 1320 (very good score). Even when I took the tests, I didn't always understand every question and guessed on most of them. You'll probably end up doing the same. Whatever you do, don't worry. Just be confident you'll do well.

TRC: Ok, will do. And BTW, you didn't say if your e-mail was fixed yet. (Still haven't gotten your feedback, so I guess it ain't.)

Green Baron: Who's Matthew Milam? $ And for sake of RP continuity, let's say you're being held at some Ted Turner building, not Thailog's secret base. I want it to be a LONG time before we get there. <grin> $

X-Men movie: If they have to have Gen-X actors in it, I recommend the following: Rachel Leigh Cook as Jubilee (or Changeling, if they're using my original character who joined the X-Men); Leo diCaprio or someone like him as a bad guy (so he'll get his ass seriously kicked), preferably the Blob (if that part doesn't deflate Leo's ego, nothing will!); Alyson Hannigan as Jean Grey or Rogue (she'll need a little padding for that ridiculous figure, but at least we'll get a young star who can act well); and Matthew Lillard as Iceman (he did a good job as Maniac in Wing Commander, even with the bad script. So he'll do well in a similar role); I don't know about the rest. I agree that Patrick Stewart should be the Prof. With Anthony Hopkins or Jeremy Irons as Magneto. That would be really cool. Too bad it probably won't happen. <shrugs> Well, I don't share SJ's opinion of a lot of young stars, so I'll be going to see the movie with them in it or not.

Guess that's all for now. Later, ppl!

**BACK TO RP ACTION**

Doug turns to cover Jammer, Boris, and Tom, who are working as a team to plant explosives on the legs of the AT-AT and AT-ST walkers. At the right moment, they detonate these bombs and quickly send several of the walkers crashing to the ground. "Great job, guys!" Doug yells as he and the others begin picking off the stormtroopers coming out of the walkers' smashed cabs. In the process, one large battledroid manages to get behind Doug and takes aim. Just then a blue Suburban smashes into the robot from behind, rolling over it. James Elder leans out the driver's window and yells, "Doug! What are you doing here?" "Hi, Dad," Doug waves (remember, my dad lives in Colorado Springs). "What's up?" Doug smiles and turns back to the fight.

The screen changes back to NORAD, where two gang members are bringing in a large package marked "To Thailog, General Zale, T'angelo, et al. from a friend" (or whatever Traveler wrote on there, I forget what exactly what it was and that CR wasn't archived). "Hmm," says T'angelo. "What's this?" "It's a package with your name on it, boss," one of the gang members says. "Should we open it?" "DO NOT!" Kharsus yells, looking at the label. "I know this handwriting. It's that of our greatest enemy." "You mean Satan?" Jerry asks. "No," says the evil wizard. "Someone even worse, someone that I've had a lot of conflict with in the past, someone I know all too well. Traveler." "Traveler?" asks T'angelo. "Who the hell is that?" "I just told you," Kharsus growls. "Our most dangerous adversary. It appears he's left a trap here for us, one he foolishly assumed we would fall for. But he has underestimated us, and we will survive." Kharsus waves his staff (wormwood topped with an amber-encased human embryo) and opens a portal to the Plane of Elemental Vacum, where nothing may exist or survive for long. He then directs the gang members to throw Traveler's package in. After they've done so, he closes the portal. "Okay, that little problem is taken care of," T'angelo says. "Now back to the mission. Tyl, Corax, hurry up with those launch codes!" The screen fades out.

SJ: Actually, it's CPD *and* Sinatra ... "Come Back To Me" was originally recorded by Frank Sinatra, then later covered by CPD (with backup from the First Church of Sinatra). But you're right, CPD *is* one of the better swing bands around ... I have that album you're referring to, and IMHO the two best songs on that one are "The Ding Dong Daddy of the D-Car Line" and "Dr. Bones."

****BEGIN RP!!!!!!*******
After a long journey from the Avatar of Ganon, SJ and Kari arrive in the TIE Scimitar at SJ's Washington D.C. Base (aka, his swingin' bachelor pad).
"Okay!" SJ said with a smile. "We're horribly late, but I think we can still ketch up with Wilek and the others. Geez, but my RP continuity is screwed up!"
"And just how are we going to get there? It's a long way to Colorado Springs." Kari states.
"Hey, no problem." SJ walks over to the garage. He stands by the switch to raise the door. "Behold.......the 'SJ-Mobile'!!!" The door quickly raises to reveal....
"A '78 Olds??" Kari asks in disbelief.
"Well, yeah. What? We Occasionally Mad Scientists don't get paid overtime, you know. We work with what we have."
Kari is not pleased. Her face begins to grow red. "How are we supposed to get there in _this_ hunk of junk??"
"Oh, it's been retrofitted completely. It's got turbo rockets, jet boosters, gatling guns on the side, and....um.....a small thermonuclear device in the trunk.....and a neat radio, and--"
"Waitta minute. WHAT's in the trunk?"
"Never you mind your pretty little head. We'll be there in no time. But I want to bring a couple friends with us."
Kari looked confused. "Who?"
"The Hounds," SJ said with a smile. He brought a hand to his mouth, and whistled. "C'mon boys, let's go!!!"
Two very large, very sinister looking creatures instantly ran out of the house. They were each the size of a full grown tiger, and jet-black, with great claws. They looked suspiciously feline, but their snouts were different--it looked almost like a combination of a panther's snout, and the mouth of a canine. A row of razor-sharp teeth and a long salivating, serpentine tongue finished the creature's makeup. With glowing yellow eyes, the two beasts sniffed Kari eagerly. She, in turn, stepped back quickly. "Wha-what are they?"
"They're the Hounds. The one on the right is Sable, and the other one is Drake. I made them myself; they've got a little bit of everything mean in them. But don't worry, they won't hurt you. They're perfect, though, for a little added muscle in our fight. Everybody in!"
Kari reluctantly stepped in the car with SJ and the Hounds, as they all left for the battleground....
****END RP FOR NOW. SORRY ABOUT LENGTH!!*****

That War Thingie in Yugoslavia: I just heard some disturbing news: they shot down one of our stealth planes. THEY SHOT IT DOWN. Do you understand this? Those stealth planes are the thing, baby. We flew the hell out of them during the Persian Gulf war, and not a one got nicked. However, as soon as we start some crap with a backwater, hick-country of Yugoslavia, the Hatfield and McCoy's of the Eastern European world shoot down our most advanced airplaine. I'm suffering a supreme inferiority complex here....

Jingle all the Way: The funniest moment of this movie, ironically, wasn't in the movie at all. It was in the HBO "making of" the movie. You get to see Ahnuld sit behind the scenes and comment about what great acting is going on in the film, and how "when people leave the theaters, they're going to be angry, because they're going to say: 'I want to see that movie again, but the lines to get in are just so long!'". That's an actual quote. Geez, did somebody pop his reality balloon?

I Think We're Up to The 10th Sign Of the Apocalypse: There's a rumor (and I think it's week, mind you) that Ahnuld will be in the upcoming X-Men film, due out the summer of next year. I don't know how the rest of you feel, but this fanboy must say, WHERE'S MY GUN, I'M READY TO KILL MYSELF NOW. Anybody who thinks Ahnuld would be good in X-Men, I have 3 words for you: "Batman and Robin". Jesus. "Cheehl Aaaahout, Baaaatmin." "I keell you lahtur!" Arnold & X-men = the End of All Things Sacred.
Actually, I'm starting to get depressed about the whole casting thing for this movie. I think Patrick Stewart is perfect for Professor X, and I like Rusell Crowe as Wolverine (just cause I'm a huge fan of his, but there's no definite word he'll sign on), but it looks as if all Hollywood wants to do is stick a bunch of Gen-X actors in it. If one of the following: Ryan Phillippe, Freddie Prinze Jr., Reese Witherspoon, the entire cast of Dawson's Creek, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, the cast of Party of Five, or Brandy/Moesha--appear in the film, I will finally go completely bonkers.

Fanboys: I'm one, I'll admit it. But since I already have a girlfriend and a little thing called dignity, I don't drool at conventions. That is, I wouldn't if I ever went to one of those things. The people you meet there.....well, I'm no prize myself, but if you want to have some fun, try to count the number of people there with a)more than 10 pimples, b)glasses (sunglasses don't count), c)yellow teeth, or d)mind-numbing body odor.

Spinach: The first and last time I ever ate the godawful stuff was when I was about 5 years old. I loved Popeye...and he seemed to like the stuff.....so I had my older sister make me some. One bite was all it took for me to have a lifelong aversion to it.

Brisco County Jr.: Of course it was good, it had Bruce Campbell in it! :) Seriously, it was a great show. It had gunfighting, science fiction, fantasy, humor, John Pyper-Ferguson, Kelly Rutherford (grrrr!!), and was just plain fun to watch. Of course, since it was one of the rare non-cartoon shows run on Fox primetime, they never gave it a chance and axed it after the first season. Bah.

Stuffed Pikachu: Saw this in the comic book store the other day (right by the new Pokemon comic book--issue #1 has sold out everywhere!). I wanted to buy one, but they were asking FIFTEEN dollars for a little Pikachu that was--no kidding--4 INCHES high. I'll have to wait until they hit Toys R' US.

PSAT: I loved these, mainly cause they essentially said I was a freakin' genius. No wonder they're inaccurate, huh? ;-)

Coyote: That was, in my opinion, the BEST swing band around, the Cherry Poppin' Daddies! (Say...can I even say that here?) There best hits CD is GREAT!!

**switches out the extremely melted candle, puts in a new one and lights it**

Two nights' worth ... although it *has* been fairly slow at least ...

Missile message: My favorite wasn't written on a missile, rather it was done over a short-wave ship radio during Desert Storm while a Tomahawk missile was fired at Iraq:

"Good morning, Mr. Hussein, this is your 0430 wakeup call." ROTFLMAO!!

Actually, if I were to write it on a missile, it would be the acronym "BOHICA," which in the wrong context becomes obscene in translation (sack of cybercookies to whoever knows what it stands for!).

Hopeless romanticism ... truthfully, I fit into this category perfectly, though lately I'm more of a "hopeful" romantic. **looks at candle, sighs, plants chin in hand and smiles**

Vegetarianism: Truthfully, I knew quite a few of them in college. Also encountered my fair share of Vegans (including one woman who came into residence hall cafeterias carrying boxes of rice milk). I don't really care ... truthfully, I've theorized that I could probably lose weight if I restricted myself to a diet of tofu, cranberry juice and vitamin supplements. :)

Swing: Uh oh ... SONG CUE!! (Robby, if you can find this one, please do ... it'll either be Sinatra or the Cherry Poppin' Daddies):
**musical interluding, starting from the middle of the first verse**
In a Rolls, in a jet
With your hair in a net
Or a towel, wringing wet
I don't care
This is where
You should be ...

From the hills, from the shore
Ride the wind to my door
Turn highways to dust
Break the law if you must
What the world only does
Come back to me
Come back to me
COOOOOME BACK TO MEEEEE!!!

**composes self**

Sorry. Been *dying* to get that out of my system.

Argent: **shrugs** Yeah, I guess I am. :)

Cyrway: You're welcome. I *really* liked it, Ace. All those interested, my name link goes to Cyrway's room in my Gallery, which has the new one in it. Hope ya don't mind, Ace, but I came up with a title for the pic ("Lovers in Wartime.").

Split Personality: Actually ... tell the truth, I get these images in my mind of what I would be if I were to have done little things differently in my life ... I suppose that could be considered my alternate personality ... a handsome, well-respected, degreed self-made success of a man. Then I see he's an unhappy raging druggie and value my life. :)

Spinach: Done right, I can handle it. Done wrong, it makes me wanna hurl.

Deuce: Don't feel too bad. My computer *fried* a pair of headphones in two months ... of course, playing non-stop Meat Loaf at full blast might've had something to do with it, since they were bass-boost 'phones. :)

SOROW: Congrats.

Green Baron: **strokes chin thoughtfully** Lonely, huh? Hmm ... I know a perfectly nice Catholic girl who might be interested ... then again, she lives in Virginia and is my ex. Bad idea, forget I said anything. :)

Jewel> Pem East Whore Corps? LOL!! That sounds liek something for a New Orleans Catholic girl's school :)

TRC> Welcome Back. Mormons? I love making fun of them. It's a really bad habit of mine :)

Mary> Well most morals are common sense, too. As for drinking, I've never known anything wrong with it except in excess, though Irish Catholics don't find anything wrong with alchohol morally :)

Vegetarians> I like meat personally and my Religion has no restrictions except for a few Fridays and Ash Wednesday. I have no problem with them personally. I do have a probelm with FDA gestapo who won't let me eat rare meat. grrrr....

Deuce> Well out of the three groups you mentioned, it;s too bad teh militants get so much press coverage. Most of the peopel in tehse groups are teh same as us, minus theiur different views.

Kaioto> I guess Reverend Attila is an alternate personality, but I do have a cat named Attila. Have you ever considered becoming a Jesuit?

Kyrvyn and Stormy> What really pisses me off is that the Industrial types receive Federal subsidies. It dosen't matter to me personally where my meat comes from, but the Federal Government needs to shrink back to pre-1937 levels and just keep shrinking.

Spinach> I like it best with sour cream and garlic. It really dosen't have a flavor IMO but I like it.

Fanboy/Fangirl relationship> I would be too chickensh*t to ask soemone out without knowing them too long. I am a bit afraid of relationships since I can get hurt. Hopefully I won't get dumped because I'm Catholic like last time.

Stormy> I meant traditional as in you're Services aren't overly modern and your ministers still wear collars and stuff like that. I never knew Missouri Synod were like that. I just heard they were only a few steps away form my own faith. It's usually the really far-removed Proetstants that are the crazy fundamentalists.

BTW, Spring Break is here, so I can post regularaly for a while.

I was at a karate tourney a couple years ago, and I won second place in fighting 'cause the girl I was against accidentally hit me. In the division I was in, contact to the head is automatic grounds for disqualification. She hardly even touched me, and she wound up finishing last. I didn't feel too good about that, even though she didn't hold a grudge against me for it.

Hello everyone! I now have one more trophy sitting on my desk :) I didn't get first place, but it's nice to know that I actually beat someone. I remember my first year at competition and I was the only one in my division so they automatically gave me first place. That sucks because I didn't really work for that place. But I'm just really glad that it's over. Sorry I didn't post earlier but I was extremely tired. And I'm finally getting over my stomach pains! YYYYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!! Sorry :)

IMPORTANT: I know that I have to mail in my money for the G99 t-shirt about...right now to get the best price since I can't go to the convention. But where do I send it and pick up the shirt???? Someone please tell me so I can get a good deal. Patrick, I bet you know so I guess I'm talking to you.

Hulloooooo Peoples! I'mmmmmm BACK!
All of my comments on the new TD have been taken, great job on the plot!

Deuce- I also get only a small circle at the top of the page when I click.

Vegetarianism (sp?)- I don't have a problem with it as long as the person does'n try to make me a vegetarian and as long as they don't get overly emotional and obsessed over it.

Spinach- never really liked it.

Missile lines- Gee, it sure is hard to pick a phrase, but I think my favorite ones will be: YOU ASKED FOR IT! and ENJOY!

Spinach conversation- Egads we must be bored. We actually had this conversation a few months back... Even then I didn't understand the point of it... For the record, I don't mind it too much if it has cheese.

Brisco County Jr- Oh yeah, I remember that now! I think it died because it went up against Dr. Quinn or X-Files or something else popular at the time... I liked it, even though I only saw it once or twice.

Wilek- Vincent's final break? Gads... Which one was that again? Its been sooo long since I played FF7... Heck, it's been too long since I played a Playstation... (For the record, I still want Zelda 64. I just don't want the system that it goes with.)

Mary- You DO realize PSAT isn't actually the practice SAT anymore. Colleges seriously look over scores on that now, to the point where the P's meaning has been changed to stand for "Placement"... I should know, I took the test a few months back, and the ACT and SAT are breathing down my neck next month... And how is it you've never taken one of these before? Down here they make us take practice tests of this sort every few months... But then, TAAS is a big deal here...

Argent- You can get your Driver's permit tommarrow? Congrats! I could have gotten my license 8 months ago, but I really have no where to go, so I'm in no hurry to get it. besides, when I turn 18, I can get it without taking 6 weeks of Driver's ed...

Duece- I clicked the name, and I got nothing but a circle in the upper left corner with a few words.

Hmm, just went to the comic store, found a back issue of SOnic the Hedgehog I've needed for 4 years. And now, MY COLLECTION IS COMPLETE! I have them all to date! You think getting Pokemon is hard, try locating roughly 200 SOnic comics and all the spin-offs... (Okay, not that hard since I've gotten them as they came out... Ninja Turtles on the other hand, that was a REAL challenge...)

<Off in Lonny's secret base...>

"Should I mention your secret base is just my bedroom with a lot of funky equipment?"
"No! Just type what's on the paper."
"All right..."

<Off in Lonny's secret base, a pair of red glowing eyes looks over his flunkie's shoulder.
"How goes it Dis Connect?"
"Oh, just fine Lonny. That Doomsday virus you want ready for release on April 1rst is almost done!"
"Good." Lonny grins an evil smile, displaying a few sharpened teeth.>

"Um Lonny, what was the point of that?"
"Foreshadowing. Heh heh."
"But um... You just told the CR you plan to do something, and on what day. They'll be ready for you now."
"Oh geez, you're right! Quick, erase all of that! No, don't hit the submit butto..."

**RP**
TRC is seen sitting at a table over the remains of a large tripple decker sandwich in a dark kitchen . He is listening to a local Radio station . A news Broadcast is made over the radio of an attack on Colorado springs during which he straightens up and pays full attention to the report upon a description of the attackers , TRC : " If the Ravens are'nt there yet they will be . " , he drops his meal in the plate and runs out of the kitchen and down a series of stairs carved out of solid rock . Upon reaching the bottom a large defensive robot blocks him , gauges his hight , weight , the capillary pattern on his retina , a palm print and finally moves out of the way allowing him to reach his store room .
In addition to most of his previously mentioned gear there are a few new additions including suspension tanks , a few new explosive packs and a large computer processor from which he extracts a few spells and the exact location of the attack . and a few pictures of the area . He walks over to a rather small mech , only seven and a half feet tall . And begins to arm it with the various cannons in the room along with 15 missille packs , all designed to penetrate thick armour . Then places the explosives into a dipenser pack on the mech's back . TRC steps back to survey the armament and decides as a precaution , to load a VDC (I'm sure you remember what that is ) . He climbs into the mech and focuses the necessary energies to tke him to Colorado springs , and steps through the portal .
**END RP**

SOROW : Hope your competition went well . Hope you have'nt already said how it went .

Spinach - Well this is a rather odd topic of conversation , ca'nt say I really like it , I prefer my vegetables fairly firm , that's why carrots are my thing . I have'nt eaten spinach in around a year , and when I ate it regularly it was probably because of the "Popeye" influence .

Forceing ideals on others - I really hate that , more than most other things . I have found myself losing faith recently and one girl is subjecting me to her interpretations of the bible in an effort to hold me back . I hate it when someone thinks that they are right and refuses to listen to reason and accept cold hard facts , mind you I support faith . The people who were notorious in there efforts to convert out here were the Mormons , thankfully that has'nt been happening for a few years . These people would come into a person's yard and would'nt go away until either they smelt someone else more receptive to their efforts , you pulled a gun on them (and even then they came back) or let loose 5+ dogs on them (my personal favourite since we had a bull terrier that did'nt take $#!+ from nobody) . But we've all said this in here before so I'm basically needlessly repeating . . . make that babbling . OK , I'll stop now .

JEB : Yeah , I remember Brisco County Jr. , I really enjoyed it , a nice blend of events and ideas , though the town of "No man's land" caught me as kind of cliched . And I preferred the later episodes when Brisco and Bowler were partners instead of competitors , though I did get some neat jokes out of it . Quote - "There were bees there Brisco , angry bees ." (I know that's not quite right , feel free to correct me)

Christine : I'm praying it does'nt end up a three parter too . I enjoyed the first part at any rate , I saw it coming, but the extra twists kept me interested .

Creativity Demon's run rampant with ideas of what might happen if Ebon did join the clan .

Jewel : That college sounds like the kind of place a stereotypical Jamaican could thrive in . Thankfully I'm not one .

Just for the record , the term "Irie" is not said after every two sentences , and blood/brother/bredgin/allright , is a common term of greeting , they all mean the same thing in this context .

Doug : wow , my first cyber cookie .

Well I did'nt have very much to say so I'm done for now . See you folks soon .

Doug/Wilek : I wo'nt be posting again until Sunday night or Monday afternoon . Feel free to use my character in the mean time .

pointless quote -
"Man thirsts for knowledge , knowledge is power , power corrupts . We wo'nt last a year past cold fusion ."

Argent> I made up Namida. She's an ice Pokémon; looks exactly like Pikachu except she's pink/purple instead of yellow/orange. She does stuff with ice and snow, and evolves into a purple/black version of Raichu. (Yes, I'm unimaginative). I don't have her evolved name yet ("namida" is Japanese for "tear" (as in crying).

Yes, I have too much time on my hands. :-)

***BEGIN THE SAGA... BEGIN THE RP!***

** [Edmonton, Alberta] Deuce and his Pokemon, Namida, are standing in the supermarket. Deuce is holding a large case of Jones Soda (Fufu Berry), and Namida has a stack of heavy weaponry perched on her head (OK, so it's an odd supermarket). As he waits in line, he notices a new tabloid rag: "THE MARSH JOURNAL". Always interested in these sort of things (hehe), he purchases it along with his soda and weapons of mass destruction. After Deuce and Namida leave the store, they get on the bus, which runs over Dis Connect. On the bus, Deuce opens a soda, and begins reading the tabloid.

** It's horrifying. More than your "O.J.-and-Micheal-Jackson-had-an-affair-the-night-before-they-killed-Princess-Di", these are disgusting, blatantly false rumours that could destroy the careers of the people involved. Flipping further through, Deuce sees nothing but trash, things that are almost too hideous to believe, and yet spell public death for the celebrities. Going to the masthead, Deuce notices the name of the company circulating the paper: Marsh Industries. ~Isn't that the company whose HQ got blown up by the Black Ravens? I have to check this out.~ **

***PAUSE RP!***

Mary> ["Not all atheists try to ram their veiws down people's throats."] Oh, I know. I just said that I don't like people with opposing views to mine that try to force those views on me. I know plenty of nice atheists, whose only mistake is their choice to ignore God.

Wilek> No hormones? You don't know what you're missing. :-D

Exin> Um... hi.... Unique page you've got there.

***CONTINUE RP! (what a foreign feeling)***

** [Edmonton International Airport] The ticket agent looks at Deuce. <"Where will you be flying today, sir?"> "San Francisco." <"Very well."> The ticket agent sees Namida's pokeball on Deuce's belt. <"Will you be opening that on the plane?"> "Nope." <"Alright. Gate 31, fourth on the right in hallway B."> Deuce heads for the door, and the screen blinks out. **

Hello. I just got back from trying to take a practice PSAT test and I had to quit near the end. The instructions were too complicated for me to understand for a math part and I was wasting my time trying to have someone explain it to me so I just told them I didn't want to take it anymore. When I told my sister, she asked, "And how are you going to take the real SAT?" I don't know, but I know it will be better then today because I've never taken one of these kinds of tests before! Plus I'll take some courses and study guides and stuff. I mean, the chances are not good that you're going to do well if you've never taken one of these thing before.

**AND NOW, WE RP**

[On the Avatar of Ganon...four Dalek killcruisers and a factory ship approach the station. Administrator: "This is DKC1138 to Avatar of Ganon. Commander Khesaat, I have managed to acquire somewhat more backup than we would have expected." Khesaat <amused at Admin's massive understatement>: "So you have. The invasion has already begun and I expect Wilek needs help--and, since he's in the middle of a ground battle, I think a few thousand Daleks will fit the bill quite nicely." In response, the killcruisers and factory ship proceed to launch several troop landers at the battle site. Khesaat: "Thank you. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have business to attend to." Admin: "Of course. DKC1138 out." Khesaat: "Computer, I wish to speak with the chief of security..."]

**PAUSE RP!**

What to put on a missile? Um...Dangit, Deuce already said both of the best ones I could have come up with; my favorite is "Choke On This!"

SOROW> Glad you're feeling better! :D

Toku Kaioto> This Malakai sounds fascinating; we really must hear *that* story....

Argent> <<The Little Caeser's pizza guy is now a puppet>> And a vaguely disturbing-looking one at that...

It must be interesting to have active hormones. Mine have essentially been impaled by my intellect. I kid you not--my intellect sits in a big tower made of black diamond, looking down at my hormones which are skewered, Tepes-style, on big long spears, twitching and moaning in agony. Not that I'm complaining. :)

Kyryn> <<That's something close to how our normal conversations go>> For some reason, that sentence sends me into hysterical laughter every time I read it. <<Tell story about convertible, beach, babes, and thermonuclear bomb>> I MUST hear this. :)

Kitainia> $<<Note- correct me if I'm wrong, I think all these people are currently in our group>> Um...actually, the only members of my team that I brought to Earth are Miriam and Rho (unless SJ and Kari elected to come); I figured anyone else would draw attention. Picture, if you will, Jake (large wolf mutate), Teri (striking fox mutate), Raoul (critter from Alien), the Administrator (a Borg Queen), Anoth (well-known composer and near-lookalike for a very young Emperor Palpatine), or any of the other non-humans on my team striding into the typical restaurant. <gets a vision of numerous patrons running out of the restaurant screaming something about werewolves and monsters, then the whole thing showing up in next week's Weekly World News> Ah well, we can say we called them for reinforcement after the invasion began...$ <<Cloud may need a serious comb-over, but IMO he does have nice eyes>> Ehehehe...<wonders if she knows exactly why his eyes are like that> Hey, has anyone noticed that Vincent's final Limit Break kind of resembles a garg?


JEB> <<Anyone remember "The Adventures of Brisco County Jr."?>> Um...I think I do. Didn't it have John DeLancie in it as an inventor or something?

Christine> <<hoping like mad it doesn't turn into a three-parter on me!>> Heh...the exact opposite happened to me; This Ascension was originally meant to be a two-parter. (Trust me, you don't want to know what was cut. Ultimate lameness.)

**RESUME RP!**

[Wilek, Janice, and Rho climb into the cab of Optimus Onslaught--Wilek makes the mistake of getting in the driver's seat. Wilek: "Are y'all aware that I can't even drive? I don't exactly glide like an expert either, for that matter..." Rho: "I was a TIE pilot before I was promoted to command; I think I can handle it. You can be on weapons, and Janice is on...whatever else there is in this thing." Janice: "I can find *something*, I suppose." Wilek: "Sounds good to me. Ladies and gentlemen...LET'S ROCK AND ROLL!" The team brings the Onslaught around behind the enemy walker formation, transforms it to its mech mode, and opens fire...]

Deuce>Not all atheists try to ram their veiws down people's throats. I'm an atheist and when I tell people this they think I do anything I want that a religious person would consider sinful. Would I sleep around? No, too many STDs swarming around. Would I drink? If it were only to enjoy a good wine or beer and not to get myself drunk. But I don't like beer or wine because they taste bad to me.

But I don't think I'll be an atheist forever. I'm begining to like Wicca and find it to be a very liberal religion that would suit me.

Hello all! Good God, I have a paper on the rain forest to write, a german play to memorize, a german test to study for, and I have to deal with my sister who has (in my humble opinion) a permanent case of PMS. All this before Spring Break. After that, I can finally work on my writing. (yay!):)

Vegitarinism>I think it's a very noble thing to do. I have a friend who has been one for 7 years. I have tried but I can't help but think, "Man, chickens are dumb." But I try to keep away from red meat as much as possible (though once in a purple moon I will eat a Cafe California hamburger. hmmm...)

Guy fan/Girl fan relationships>I think it would be pretty cool if you met at the Gathering and got to meet many kinds of people. You might find a good friend among one of them who you could share your ideas and art with. I do have a problem with mates over the Net though. You could meet in real life and the other person might turn out to be the opposite of who you've met in a chat room. But if you were already dating before that and just have pet names for each other then that's OK. I wouldn't try a mate over the Net for 2 reasons: 1)I'm a solitary person by nature. 2)My heart already belongs to Brooklyn. ;P

Bye all!

CHRISTINE - Well, I've always been something of an Arthur-fan. I've collected an unbelievable amount of books on the subject, both fiction and non-fiction, and have read even more. In general, if I can find a new book on King Arthur at the local library (or Merlin, for that matter), I'm certain to check it out and read it at once. Hence I know a lot of obscure things about the two of them (which tend to surface in my ideas for "Pendragon" and the things that I write for it).

Gripe of the day: I need a Jaz drive.

Hopeless romantic> Hey, that's me, too. Honestly, if it's a romantic comedy, I'm there. If it's got the slightest hint of romance, I'm there. Unless it's Christmas, if someone mentions a romance, I am so there. And I love listening to love songs, even if I am painfully single. :-)

Teaser: Tomorrow, I begin my RP. $ I'll catch up with you guys in a week or so, right now I've got a private one I want to post. I feel the need to kill some people I know. >:-) $

*song changes to "Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)". Headphones still suck.*

Veggie lovers> Anybody in here watch VeggieTales? No, just kidding. I treat vegetarians like I treat homosexuals and atheists: I have no problem with them, until they start trying to force their views down my throat. Then I get hostile.

Another missile message> "Open wide...."

Celano- Yup, it's from Lucy. You win first prize, whatever the heck it is.

Spike- I'm afraid, you came in with the right answer second, so you can't have first prize. But since its a non-existant prize, I guess you can have the exact equivilent if you want.

Argent- No! You brought up... that... song... **Robby begins singing, badly...** Old man Johnson had troubles of his own. Had a yellow cat that wouldn't leave his home...

Deuce- A FRENCH DUBBED version of Jingle All the Way? **Shudder** I can't begin to imagine your pain.

Missle Note- Oh no, not again.

Kitainia- Hopeless romantic doesn't only apply to one's current situation. It also applies to one's opinion on all romantic involved things. I'm a hopeless romantic because I just get all gooshy over stories like that. But where Heather's concerned, I'm just a romantic. 8)

JEB- Dragonheart was a great movie. I saw it three times in regular theaters, got the soundtrack, and have watched it on video many times. Draco is to date, STILL the best CGI ever IMO. By the by, the third time I saw it in theaters was on an IMAX screen... You ain't seen nothin' until you've seen Draco lifesized!

Gathering 99 costume- Assuming I can get the accent down, I'm going as Vinnie. Got the haircut, got the clothes, and have the basic look...

*shrugs* What?

Doug> Okay. I hope that's why the others aren't here too, because otherwise this is rather worriesome.

Has anyone here seen the movie "Dragonheart"? I recently watched that on video, and was intrigued to note several parallels between the film and Gargoyles...

**Dragonheart SPOILERS**

1) One of the main heroes is a member of a winged, reptilian race that is hunted and feared by mankind.
2) It takes place in the late 10th century, in the British Isles.
3) The main villain has red hair and treats humans with disgust and hatred, and is also linked to one of the main heroes so that both feel each other's pain. The hero the villain is linked to has a strong Scottish accent.
4) They go to Avalon.

**END Dragonheart SPOILERS**

Well, I thought they were interesting, anyway. :) "Dragonheart" is a good film, one I highly recommend watching.

*thinks*

Hey, I just remembered what I forgot to remember...

Army of Darkness> Count me in as a big fan of this
