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...)

"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 .

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..."]

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!"

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.

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

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. >:-) $

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!

*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 film- I'd say it's in my absolute faves. :) BTW, to whomever mentioned it- there's a soundtrack? I've been looking all over for one. Any idea where I could get it?

Sam Raimi/Bruce Campbell shows> Anyone remember "The Adventures of Brisco County Jr."? That was a strange but fun show. Sort of like a nouveau, more tongue-in-cheek version of "The Wild Wild West." :)

Mandi> Nice update. :) Like the Pop-Up Video quotes bestest. :)

G99 Costume> I'm pondering going as Garlon, as I seem to be quite good at fading into the background (whether I want to or not).

Spinach> Always liked, even as a little kid. *pauses* You do realize we've made a topic out of _spinach_, right?

Kitania> Thanks! Glad you liked 'em! :) I've got way more where that came from, too- plan to post in subsequent weeks.

(BTW, did anyone read the Fantos gargoyle (read: Disney's Gargoyles) on that site? I was rather proud of it, myself. :)

**LONG RP WARNING**

At Thailog's secret base, the bad guy leaders are holding another of their endless series of meetings. "I have captured the Green Baron," announces Asil. "He will soon be interrogated and tell us all he knows about the Ravens." "In the meantime," says Galante, "my friend Ted has sent an army of heavily armed and deformed flying Larry King clones to take out his little girls." "Excellent," Thailog nods, turning to the monitor (which has Zale, Jerec, Nipon, and Dahak on it. "Zale, Jerec, how goes the NORAD attack?" "We are under assault by Wilek's forces," Zale reports. "But we should be able to stop them. In the meantime, T'angelo has secured Cheyenne Mountain, but is having serious trouble with its computer systems." Thailog has Guod open a portal to NORAD, and sends the evil hackers Tyl and Corax through it. "They should help him," the evil clone gargoyle says. "I'll go along as well," says Kharsus. "Nothing like a little magic to speed things along." He steps through the portal and it closes shut.

The screen changes to Colorado Springs, where the Ravens are getting ready to attack the Imperial ground forces. "I'm coming with you guys!" Tom says, leaping out of the truck heavily armed with a machine gun full of acid rounds and a grenade launcher filled of various chemical-explosives. "Hold it," says Jammer. "Aren't you a scaredycat?" Tom jabs him with a cattle prod and Jammer winces. "I can fight," Tom snaps, jabbing him again. "Hey," Jammer cries. "Ouch!" "Stop that!" Kitainia orders. "Sorry," Tom chuckles. "After you jab a guy once with one of these, it gets kinda addictive." Kitainia rolls her eyes and turns to Doug. "Okay," Doug says. "You can come along. We know where they are, we're all ready, all we need now is a plan." "Great," nods Kitainia. "You think something up while I post in the CR."

**PAUSE RP**

Hi, everyone. Sorry I didn't have time to post much before today, school stuff. Hopefully it'll be over soon, or at least relaxed. <grin>

JEB: Thanks for posting the link. Your AD&D stuff is very interesting. I liked the Tinker class the best, we could use one of those in our AD&D games Saturday nights.

Lexy: Oh good, you're coming to the Gathering. Hope I get to meet you there. <grin>

Christine: Very good job on "Dark Beauty." I liked all the character development and the plot. Hope to see a big catfight between Angela and Ventura in Part 2.

**BEGIN MILD SPOILERS FOR "ART OF WAR"**

New Timedancer: Good job on this episode. I'd go into detail, but just about everything I wanted to say has been said. I especially liked the characterization of Sun Tzu.

**MILD SPOILERS OVER NOW**

Nicodemus: Hey, I'm not your enemy! Good critical points.

Kaioto: Hmm, alternate personalities, I don't know. Maybe something like Christine's character Ventura. That could be interesting.

Fleur: You're welcome. Too bad you got sick. Let me know if you ever need advice again, I shall be happy to provide it.

TRC: Welcome back to the CR. Hope you'll stay around longer this time.

FF7: Hey, Tifa and Aeris aren't the only cute people in there. Vincent is good-looking, so's Rufus. And Cloud may need a serious comb-over, but IMO he does have nice eyes.

Fandom Dating: I've had a little experience with this, especially at the first convention I attended (a Star Wars con in Houston). Let's just say I was forced to use my powers of mental manipulation to cause several dorks to beat the living <bleep> out of each other over me while I calmly walked away whistling to myself. That was kinda fun. Other than Doug, most of the guys I've actually dated were not as big fans of sci-fi and fantasy shows as I am. But at least they could understand my obsession. That kept the relationships from getting too bad. Everything else I could say about this has already been said.

Mod Squad: I too like Claire Danes' attitude about the movie. The critics bombed it in our paper (they gave it one star and the Doug Funnie movie three, lousy bums). I'll see it tomorrow and judge for myself, Doug will do the same.

Robby: Yeah, Doug's and my first meeting was lucky and nice. But since then things have kept getting better. I hope they will continue to do so. And you're not a hopeless romantic. You have Heather, right?

Missile Inscription: "Catch!"

I guess that's all I have to say. Slow week, huh? Be back later, bye for now.

**BACK TO RP**

The Ravens sneak up and get a look at the enemy forces. The walker legions are heading down Cripple Creek Avenue, blasting to cinders everything and everyone in their path. Speeders are scouting ahead, stormtroopers and battledroids marching along the front and flanks. Most of the Colorado Springs citizens are running away from them. Doug spots Jerec and Colonel Shreck riding in a landspeeder at the middle of the forces. "Okay," he says. "Let's see. Two Imperial mechanized legions, commanded by a chronically gung-ho Marine guy, and a sinister Dark Jedi. What do we do?" He glances over the enemy's placement again and grins. "Lisa, are you pondering what I'm pondering?" "I think so, Doug," Kitainia says in her best Pinky voice. "It looks like Shreck has his rear unguarded, and is concentrating only on the army's front. We hit the rear and the flanks, we can do a surprise attack." "That's right," Doug laughs. "Okay, team, here's the plan. Wilek, you, Rho, and Janice take the transformed Optimus Onslaught, circle around and attack them from the rear. I'm betting it will take those walkers a while to turn around, in that time you can get the drop on them." Wilek nods. "I'll do my best." "Kitainia, you take Miriam, Fleur, Shap, Shauna, Jammer, Tricia, Lathrop, Raoul, Forfexx, Boris, and Elena, attack the left flank. Gubio, Mist, Tom, Cobra, Fauline, Jaden, Keith, Stephanie, Orion, Jake, Teri, you guys are with me. We're gonna get 'em from the right." (Note- correct me if I'm wrong, I think all these people are currently in our group.) The Ravens, bikers, etc. nod, ready to begin the assault. "Okay," says Kitainia. "Move out!" They rush to implement their plan as the screen goes blank. To be continued.

We are appalled at all the government regs that are heaped on farmers and fishermen. We try to buy from the local (and I do mean local) farmer's market whenever we can. I loved your RP. The industrial farmers are ruining the land and driving smaller farmers out. Hmm...CD idea for a couple of country gargs helping out local farmers against the industrial farming giants....

Hey, can you just see someone trying to get the cowgarg mascot for G99 because he resembles a longhorn? "Beef! I'll show ya' some beef!" Wham!

Later All!

Hi all its been a while.
Lessee, topics, topics, topics.

Vegetarianism: My ancestors didn't claw their way to the top of the food chain just so I can sneak up on a piece of lettuce. They also gave me a flexible mind, the ability to judge for myself and decide. After talking to vegans, I don't anywhere near as much meat as I used to.

Art of War: Sun Tzu speaking of honor. ROFL! The examples Clavell gave of Sun Tzu's principles in warfare (and some attributed to Sun Tzu) are sneaky and very effective. From using convicts to confuse the enemy to knowing one would be SO curious he had to read a sign that had his name on it (and got riddled with crossbow bolts for his trouble.
Yeah, he might not use traps, but he'd site their effectiveness or lack thereof.

Dangerous Beauty - Christine- an excellent piece of work there! I'd been wondering what Thailog and Gabriel had been up to. And the Illuminati are gonna be interested in that clinic - assuming they aren't running it.

That's all for now. Catch you later.

Something unusual for me....

****BEGIN RP****

The Militant Vegans, wearing necklaces of carrots around their necks and plant fronds on their helmets and jackets, look down from the hilltop at the massive industrial farm below. Mutant cows chocked full of hormonal growth stimulants moo from tiny stalls all over the gigantic complex.
Suddenly, one of the Vegans yells, "There's a horde of farmers coming this way!"
The Vegan leader looks up to see about thirty guys dressed in John Deere hats, patched Levis and kodiak boots with plaid jackets carrying rifles and coming their way.
The Vegans, taken by suprise, surrender.
The small farmers toss guns to the Vegans and say, "we got sick of waiting for you so we're going in...come if you want...those mass producing industrialists are wrecking our business and they make lousy steak too..."

***PAUSE RP***

DOUG: Nice to see someone's looking for the Luther fic, but here's a teaser...you'll see THIS person first *points to link*

CELANO: Guess what...small farmers like us don't like industrial farms much more 'n' vegetarians do.

SPINACH: Is great. Especially in lasagna.

WILEK: *blinks* What makes you think the Weirdness Containment unit isn't ALREADY fighting a losing battle in my place? *thinks* I believe Wagner, Luther and Kyrie have their squad pinned down in my basement as we speak....

Cyrway: All I can say is...if Augustine gets REALLY obnoxious and goes super-right-wing on Luther, she might as well just skip the "I'm related to Caligo" part and say, "Let me introduce you to Cal's grandpa...after you..."

***RESUME RP***
ONe of the farmers turn to the Vegan leader (dressed in blue plaid coat, trackpants, rubber boots and of course, a John Deere hat) and says, "Wanna come to our victory barbecue?"
The Vegan leader blinks. "Can we BBQ carrots?"
Farmer: If you want....more decent cow for us...

**Kyryn sneaks in**

Celano> I'll agree with you about feral cattle. For that matter, Texas Longhorns can still take care of themselves. They are usually turned loose on a large range and most predators will leave them alone because of those big horns (and they know how to use 'em!). In fact they were originally bred for the horns because they are were 'free range' cattle. On spinach: I personally can't stand most types of cooked spinach. I prefer it raw in a salad. Besides, it retains more of the iron and other nutrients that way. As a matter of fact, that sounds real good. I think I know what I'm having for lunch today.

Argent> Six songs? I've only got one running through my ead and it's been driving me crazy since last night. It's 'I'm Gonna Fly' from the English version of 'Kiki's Delivery Service'. I love the song, but I wish that my brain would pick something else to focus on for a while.

Split Personality> Actually, I got to thinking about this last night. I have a wolf puppet named Stefan Wolf. He is definitely another personality - the wilder and crazier side. "Stefan hear name?" OOh lots of strange garg people! Stefan like. Tell story about convertible, beach, babes, and thermonuclear bomb!" "No, Stef. Not now. Look! Your Uncle Ivan is coming to visit." "No, not want to blow up again! Hide Stefan from mad Uncle Ivan. No more experiments!"
That's something close to how our normal conversations go. If I show up at a local con, one of the first questions my friends ask is, "Where's Stefan?"

Cyrway> Your cat is toilet trained? I'd be in shock, too.

Zoot Suit Images> Well, now I suddenly have an image of Brooklyn in a 20's-30's gangster style pinstripe suit, complete with fedora and tommy-gun.

Missile Note> Permanent Solutions, Inc.

BTW, did anyone else hear that Governor Jesse Ventura got partially nailed in a run-by pieing? Someone apparently ran up and threw a pie at him last night. I'm not sure of the exact circumstances but I think that a bodyguard stepped in the way and took most of the pie. Shades of Vinnie!

****TGS SPOILERS****
Art of War: Yet another excellent episode. The characterization was very well done, especially Brooklyn's frustration at Sun Tzu and his lack of understanding of Sata's concept of honor. The other characters were also very well portrayed. It was nice to see an episode completely set in the distant past again.
****END SPOILERS****

Missile message>"From me to you with love"

Vegetarianism> While I am most definitly a carnovore, I have no real problem vegetarians, just as long as they are not fanatic about it.

I just gave a 20 minute presentation on Y2K for my english class last night (for 20% of my years mark) and now all I have left to do is write a formal report on the same topic for 25% of my mark. Thank goodness that there's no final. 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. Must have been because of all the presentations I did last year.

Jewel> Interesting story. Somehow I sense that your life is definitly not dull.

Tricksters> Either Puck or Loki as they seem to be the most powerful of the bunch.

Kaioto> Well, I think you are saying you are just a verry religious person, which is fine. But you don't beleive everyone should be forced to think like you, correct?

Ah, well, you see, I do beleive animals to have souls, and plants as well. And long horn cattle (not to mention the ancestors of cattle) were doing just fine as feral wild life until ranchers started persecuting them for grazing the same land as their herfords and anguses. But I have no beef (sorry! irristable) with milk cattle. As for the veal industry, I do agree. That is just sick and wrong.

Spike> Oh, I like spinach when it is a part of a dish, but I can't master cooking it for myself. I frequently order it when I eat out though. :)

Wilek> You don't know what you're missing. Monty Python rules!

Celano>> Try eating spinach cooked Indian style. My favorite dishes when I eat Indian are palak paneer (curried spinach, sometimes with tofu, mildly hot with a delicate cinnamon undertaste and samosas (?), spinach dipped in a chickpea batter and fried until crispy. Eat with tamarind and mint chutneys -- yum, yum yum!

During Lent, I tend to go vegetarian more often. *L* This is mostly because outside of sushi, I don't really like seafood.

Uh oh, haven't said anything Gargoylish.... things could get ugly. *Jeopardy music plays* auuuuuuuuugh.........

Celano: Hm … well I have to say I'm an overbearingly religious person (But …) . It is an integral part of the way I make decisions and interact with people. The most integral part of my religion, however, is a respect for human dignity and free will that is the right and responsibility of every individual. Consequently, there are things that I simply won't (or at least know I shouldn't) tolerate on a moral basis. Among them are: harassing people for their beliefs and dogma; taking away/ imposing on other people's freedom went they pose no threat to others; and disrespecting the intrinsic worth of other human beings. Example: I won't tell somebody they can't think in a racist manner, but you better believe I won't tolerate someone acting that way. When I have to judge, I try to judge actions in context, not judge the people.

Imagery Harassment: Come on folks. My cup of coffee is Warhammer, Vampire, Magic the Gathering, and Roman Catholicism. The imagery I see and use ~ is ~ demonic, evil, and offensive at times. But * gasp * I know it is. Just because I have to deal with Daemons from Chaos, Bloodsucking Undead, and the occasional Black Magic spell involving a demon, does not mean I'm selling out to the Devil. I'll adress each hobby seperately:

Magic: Please. If anything, Magic teaches that dark magic is bad for you, because it is painful and self-destructive. One of my favorite cards, "Demonic Consultation" is a huge gamble. At least one time in every player's career, he's going to drop that card and it is going to blow up in his face and kill him on the spot. You know what we observed as a group instead of converting to Satan? We noted this: "You bargain with the Devil, and eventually the Devil eats your head."

Vampire: You spend the entire game stuck in a struggle to survive, separated from the rest of humanity forever. If you embrace the Beast, your passions and hope are drained from you. If this isn't a good example of Hell, what is?

Warhammer: Duh, the daemons are the Bad Guys! They eat their own; they betray you; they look REALLY ugly. No one ever claimed they were positive role models. In fact, all the background of the game is quite to the contrary.

Vegetarian: If it doesn't act like it has a soul, I have little qualm about eating it. I wouldn't want to kill it personally, and that is hypocrisy. You know what? I don't care about the hypocrisy. I can still stomach the meat, and in grace I remember not only to honor the Maker of that animal but the animal itself. One thing I deplore are the conditions stock animals are raised under now. I mean, some of it is horrifying. I mean, ranching and punching cattle is OK, but keeping a calf in a small stall so it can never move and practically force-feeding it so you can get another pound of veal? I will lean towards chicken Parmesan for the most part thanks. Still, when it comes to eating cows, I realize this one thing. If we all stopped eating meat and milk, cows would go extinct. Period. The only reason they live anymore is we use them. They are not high on the food chain, and have little in the way of domestic value otherwise. Unless we can harvest the methane …

Fanboy/ Fangirl: Relationships: I for one have never pulled the stereo-typical fall on the floor fanboy spaz. I never drool. I don't stare. I think it is rude, piggish behavior for myself to engage in. I don't hit on people who are here for the same reason I am, to have fun. Fun is not fun if you have to fend off a horde of drooling people dogging you every eight minutes. That is the main reason nice celebrities don't hang around common areas all the time. It is not that they are arrogant, it is that people so rudely make them uncomfortable with sycophantic behavior. I don't hit on women period. It is degrading to me and to them. I'm simply me. I dress well when I want to make a good first impression on anyone or anywhere, and I mind my manners in public. I'm chivalrous and courteous as a rule. That's all. *Gives a dark look to the guy in the back row standing on a chair who bellows out, "Maybe that's why you haven't had a date in three years!" *

Sigh, chivalry isn't dead, but I can see why it is an endangered species. Come on, how many girls out there actually make EYE-CONTACT with the guy who holds the door for you if you are with anyone you know? Let alone say "hi"? Around here, the percentage is about 1% due to either nervousness or apathy or arrogance and peer pressure. *Sigh* Combine that with the general scarcity of a fangirls in general, people who might actually have something in common with me and I think we have the answer to that gentleman in the back, not don't we?

Coyote: Don't mention it, man. :)

Split Persona: His name is Malakai. He scares the living crap out of me and I implore anyone who suspects me of becoming like him to shoot me dead where I stand. I'm not kidding. Dead serious. I'll tell you about him later. This post is running long.

Missile Inscription: On a serious and grave note: How about, "God forgive me." Missiles, blah. Nobody deserves to be blown to kingdom come from 20 miles away by a bunch of shrapnel. Seriously, I think that Spock's son, Zar, from the book "A Time for Yesterday" in response to Kirk asking him if he had given his sword a name: "What? Like Excaliber or Frank or something? I guess I'd call it Killer, because that's all it is good for. Sorry to disappoint you."

I was watching Gargoyles on Toondisney and it got me thinking about something. What happened to the Packs helicopter? They crashed it, repaired it, used it, and then what?

Vegetarianism-I don't have a problem with it, but I could never do it. Meat is important to my diet.

Fleur->>maybe we're just weird<< I can live with that, how about you? You know I think I prefer it. Normal (if such a thing actually exists) seems too boring for me.

After all, Bryn Mawr is one giant sorority (we only have about 1200 students total).
And yes, we are aware of how incredibly strange our campus is to anyone outside of the community. After all, we think it's strange, too. But we love it.

**Robby enters the CR, takes one look at Mr. C II that Fleur is packing. Vinnie fan that he is, he has to ask. "Oooh, ooh, can I try?"**

Being well rested on late hours- I stay up until 2 AM minimum, I can't get to sleep earlier than that. And when I go to sleep at 6 AM and wake up at noon, Ialso feel better rested than on normal hours of 10PM-7AM or whatever passes for normal...

Vegetarianism- Suddenly, I'm reminded of the word Vitameatavegimin... Bonus points to whoever can identify the source of that.

Goliath in a zoot suit... Funny mental image there...

TRC- Demona May's webpage will be updated... Last week actually. She's working at it, but has yet to link anythiong together, so its still only the front page. A bit more patience...

Alternate personality- Now that I understand the question better, my opposite would be well... Lonny. He's my evil twin, he's my exact opposite. No, wait... Demona is my really my opposite... Does that count? Gee, going skitso with a psycho woman on the other end... *NOT* fun...

Doug and Kitainia- Dang, thats a nice way to meet and get together! Brings out the hopeless romantic in me!

Lexy- Seems to be a pretty accurate description of relationships there.

Wilek- Eww, that WAS a gruesome DC death. I thought I was mean when I beat him up throughout a post a while back but eee...

Also, Nintendo's next system is of no consequence to me. Its at least 2 years away. At LEAST. And Nintendo hasn't given out any official specs yet, so its probably at least three years away. And thats not taking into account Japan will have to have it a year first. Sorry Nintendo, I'll be enjoying my Dreamcast thank you very much... But yah, it'll have to be CD based to compete. DVD isn't actually an option, because it has too much memory, and designing a proper game for DVD would take about 10 years.

Also, a zoot suit is a brightly colored monochrome suit. Bright yellow, red, blue, etc. Jim Carrey wore a yellow zoot suit in The Mask.

Griff and Briana creativity demons (or the lack therof) Its possible this is hard to come up with because we've only seen Brianna, oh... 3 times? Lets see, a CR demon with them... Nope, nothings coming, other than the scary thought of what their kids will look like. (Say, after all this time has anyone noticed that I started posting as Griff when Heather started posting as Brianna? Just curious...)

If so, I'd appreciate you trying to send me those fic comments again ASAP. (Sorry, I get really demanding when people take a while to send me feedback they say they will. As Traveler knows. :) $ Looking forward to seeing you in the RP. $

SJ: Three reasons I'm going to see Mod Squad. One, it's a police movie and I like police shows (especially since I want to be a cop someday). The other two reasons have to do with Claire Danes. The fact that's she's a very good and good-looking actress is one of them. The other is the reason she did this movie. I read an article that lots of critics are flaming her for it, saying the movie is beneath an actress of her caliber and she should do better more familiar roles. Her response to this was something like "I don't want to play the same characters over and over again. I want to be a good and versatile actress. Besides, I choose my movie roles, not anybody else." That's an attitude most people can admire. I wonder what kind of job she'll do. :)

*wings in and slips on a pile of vegetarian posts*

Oh dear, look what I started...

Cyrway> Goodness no! I eat beans & grains for protein. Vegans are the only ppl who have to take supplements, because they eat no animal products of any kind. So they have to take B12 supplements. But B12 is also available in eggs and dairy. I do have to take an iron supplement, because I'm prone to becoming anemic. But I was like that before I became a vegetarian, and it probably wouldn't be a problem if I just liked spinach more. (Celano doesn't like spinach. It's SLIMEY!! *shudders*)

ironwolf> *L* I must visit your homeland soon! ;)

Mandi> Yeah, I could never do the Vegan thing, nor do I see a reason to.

Blue Caeru> So true, EVERYTHING is carcinogenic these days. *sigh*

Stormy> I agree on both counts. Home raised animal live stress free and happy lives in uncrowded conditions until their time comes, whereas industrial raised animals do not; and with that kind of allergy, vegetarianism would not be a good choice for you. Grain is a verrry important part of the diet for us.
Fluer> Same here. :)
Kyryn> *LOL*

IN CLOSING, let me add I have met my share of pushy carnivores trying to force me to eat meat, and manic veggies breathing down my neck because they don't think I'm veggie enough. The first seem to have the misguided belief that I am judging them, and the second is judging me, when all I want to do is live and let live.

Not that vegetarianism is the only part of my personality that keeps getting me into trouble with judgemental ppl. The are certain ppl I make a point of never showing my art to, because of their overbearing religiousness. *sighs* (I don't feel my works are the least bit scary or demonic. I show them to children, and they usually say, "Cool!" or "Pretty!" and kids are usually pretty honest about that sort of thing.)

So I guess my next question is, why do ppl get so up in arms over things that do not effect them personally? Why does it matter to them? Why not just be mellow about what other ppl do and concentrate on doing their own thing?

Then again, the most recent reaction I've had to that statement was a big "HUFF! That's what's wrong with America today!" *groan*

****BEGIN LITTLE RP BIT*******
Phalanx Prime appears before Thailog, who is currently preparing himself for the invasion. <<Thailog.>> the alien says.
"What is it?"
<<I have come to tell you that I will be leaving shortly. It is imperative that we Phalanx form a collective here on Earth. It...tires me to have to commmunicate with the others of our race so far away in deep space. We must form a node here, on your planet. We will be able to function more efficiently here that way.>>
"You've picked a difficult time to leave. The invasion is about to begin!"
The Phalanx made a soft noise in its throat, no doubt the equivalent to a sigh. <<We have taken the liberty to....assimilate some of your soldiers. They will serve you well while we are away. But we must leave for a time. We shall return.>>
Thailog's eyes narrowed suspiciously. "Fine. Where will you be going?"
<<To the Land of Suns. We will set up our Node in Egypt.>>
*****END RP BIT FOR NOW******

Wilek: Thanks for *attempting* to send me an email. I won't do anything with that particular bit of the RP until I get your feedback. :)

Deuce: Whoo boy, you wanna talk about _your_ hometown sports team doing bad. Here in Washington we got THREE that are gonna do jack. The Capitals have got to be the only team in NHL history to go from no playoffs one year, to FINALS of the Stanley Cup the next, then right back to no playoffs. Horribly frustrating. And the Wizards...ugh, don't get me started (I still have long lasting resentment that they changed the name from the kinda cool "Bullets" to the nancy-boy "Wizards". Cause Bullets was too negative and controversial, what with DC's crime rate and all. There's PC for you. Hey, Washingtonians--you elected a convicted crack addict to office, you can handle a basketball team with a freakin' controversial name).
And the Redskins.....oh my God. The NFL owners have been dicking us around over who gets ownership of the team...and meanwhile, no one can make any definite decisions about the team, in terms of players or coaching staff, until the issue gets solved....we're gonna suck so bad this year. We'll be lucky to go 6-10.

Vegetarians: I believe the militant factor is called the Vegans? They eat no animal product, including milk, eggs, and the like. I mean, that's just wacky. That stuff is GOOD for you; maybe not everyday, but good for you nonetheless. I tell you, sometimes they make me want to slaughter something living with my bare hands.
BTW, we seem to have a decent amount of vegetarian, or vegetarian minded people in here. Oh well, more charred animal flesh for the rest of us carnivores! ;)

Jewel and the Whore Corps: Well, that beats every single college story I've ever heard, hands down. A brothel in a dorm, huh? My, oh, my, now that is some sorority.

Movies: The guy at the local paper here totally ripped into "Mod Squad". Gave it 0 out of 4 stars. The jury's still out for me--Claire Danes is gorgeous, and Omar Epps is cool, but I'm not a big Giovanni Ribisi fan, and I've grown to hate all Tv-Series-Made-into-Movies. "GO"'s got a cool new song by No Doubt, though. And from all appearances, Matrix looks to be ultra-cool. I've heard it's a cross between John Woo and Alex Proyas. If it's as half as good as that, I'm there!!!

I sent mine in almost a month ago, and I'm sort of paranoid about checks in the mail (a $100 check Mom sent me in January has yet to make it to any known mailbox).

Christine> Becca as Lex? Awww, that sounds so cute... But I sincerely hope she doesn't take the attempts to fly too far. :)

Wilek: Just got your mailing, and actually I think I got it the first time ya sent it. Just letting you know.
Oh, and a zoot suit is an oversize suit that was created in the late '30s/early '40s and quickly scrapped because of WWII (cloth was at a premium during the war). Usually it's a pair of pants that hits over the stomach on the waistband, a long coat, a wide-brimmed hat, a shirt and tie.

Fleur & Rolling Calf> My doctor is changing my diet and taking a lot of blood, but actually I do feel much better. After I got my sonogram at the hospital and found out there wasn't anything serious, I was just too happy to feel any stupid little stinging pain :) Thanks for caring about me!

Well, tomorrow is my big dance competition and I'm already nervous. To top of the stress I have a huge spanish oral and a history test as well. At least I'm always thinking positive, so wish me luck and hopefully I'll be back with first place :) I'll post tomorrow afternoon right before I leave.

Wilek : $ I know that but my character does'nt . I've been waiting for what just happened , an attack that would be brought over the news . I've grown rather tired of my character being a tad too powerful for my taste so I'm toneing him down a bit . I'll be in the thick of it in my next post , promise .$

Doug : Please , "True lies" . Jamie Lee Curtis AND Arnold Schwazenggar (boy , if I spelt that right . . ) I nearly memorized that movie . By the way , I really meant phrases _on_ the missile . Though I suppose what you said would work too .

**RP!**

[Wilek is ordering his ships to begin launching fighters and ground troops to counteract the Imperial invasion, as Miriam tries to contact the Avatar of Ganon...

Meanwhile, the Avatar Of Ganon is at the Wolf 359 research station...Khesaat: "Administrator, we're recieving a signal from Earth. There's an invasion underway; they need all the help they can get!" Admin: "Return the station to Earth orbit; I will remain here to pick up any supplies we need and return on a Dalek shuttlecraft." Note: If the Avatar's motif is Borg, the research station's is Daleks. Their Administrator is a Dalek Prime, and the station is staffed almost entirely by Daleks.]

**PAUSE RP AND BEGIN WHAT JUST MIGHT BE THE MOST REVOLTING MR. DISCONNECT DEATH TO WHICH THIS ROOM HAS EVER BORNE WITNESS**

[A large, late-model red pickup truck with a holding tank full of difluoric acid in back and a ticked-off looking Jake, Teri, Wilek, and Forfexx in the extended cab approaches a terrified-looking DC, who tries to escape. Teri leaps out, catches DC, and hits him in the back of the neck, severing his spinal cord and paralyzing him so he can't escape. The fox mutate waves to Forfexx, who teleports next to DC, forms part of his mask into a very long liquid-metal 'tongue' with a drill on the end, sticks the drill down DC's throat, and reduces his internal organs to a thick pulp. Forfexx then levitates about twenty feet over DC, morphs into a large anvil, and drops right on DC, reducing his body to a sack of bone fragments and shooting his liquified entrails out his mouth like toothpaste. 'Fexx shapeshifts back to normal and signals Jake, who gets out of the truck's driver's seat (it's his truck) and walks back to the acid tank, then unrolls what looks like a firehose from it, and sticks the hose down DC's throat. He then proceeds to return to the tank and pull a lever attached thereto, whereupon the acid is pumped into DC's shattered body, reducing it (with the miraculous exception of his head) to a rancid mass of bubbling goop. Wilek then gets out of the truck, wielding a gravedigger's shovel, which he uses to sever DC's head from what's left of his body, kicks it an impressive distance, then walks over to where it landed and sticks the blade of the shovel in its mouth just far enough to hurt. Wilek: "I suppose you deserve to know why you're dying just now. It's because you kept me out of the CR last night, and THEN prevented me from sending Coyote and SJ those e-mails (which I'll be doing soon). <sigh> Some ppl never learn." Wilek then pushes the blade of the shovel all the way through DC's head, essentially ripping the jaw off, then chops the main part of the head in half, splattering his brain matter all over the pavement. A curious Raoul trots over and begins eating it.]

**END SNUFF FILM**

Duel Of The Tricksters> Um...I have no clue who would win.

Cyrway> I've never seen any Monty Python movies; the first (and so far only) time I've ever heard the ecky-ecky thing is in a modified DOOM level...

Kaioto> If I had a split personality...Have you met Dark Mage Wilek?

Robby> <<just that they made the N64 a cartridge based system>> I wonder if you're aware that their next system will be CD-based, either DVD or some proprietary format (I think).

Vegetarianism> Major carnivore over here. I'm not against others being vegetarians, but I just couldn't survive not eating meat for any appreciable amount of time.

Stormy> <<Is it some kind of weird irony that I was looking through it myself this morning before i knew a THING about this TGS ep or WHAT???>> MAGENTA ALERT! GARGS SUB-COLLECTIVE ACTIVITY REPORTED! WEIRDNESS CONTAINMENT TASK FORCE HAS BEEN DISPATCHED!

$?Fleur> Kewl adaptation of Mr. Carter. I probably would have had it fire a cyanide pie, or a pie with a facehugger in it...but you tried something *really* different. Very neat. :)$?

Jewel> The CR has officially relinquished its title as the Vortex Of All Weirdness. Hoo boy...

What the <censored> is a zoot suit?!

$TRC> Um...Me, Miriam, Agent Rho, and someone else I think are in Colorado Springs, CO, in a restaurant called the Red Robin. As for the new station, it's the Avatar of Ganon, a Dark Star-class battle platform that replaced the original Dark Star when it was destroyed by the Phalanx (who are like the Borg but worse).$

$Doug> <<You think this is a promo for the new Star Wars movie?>> Interesting...Miriam's organization uses Sienar/Cygnus/Kuat/Arakyd-manufactured stuff partly because that's exactly what ppl will think if anyone gets careless about being seen.$

Fandom dating> I don't go out on dates, so I'm not qualified to comment.

**RESUME RP!**

[At the research station...Administrator: "I have just learned that my station is going into battle, and may be in need of assistance. We may require more than viral programming assistance." Dalek Administrator (click name for a pic): "YOUR BATTLES ARE NOT OUR CONCERN." Administrator: "They will *become* your concern when Thailog attempts to bring about the fall of the organization. We may be rivals, but we are not enemies." Dalek Admin.: "THIS STATION HAS LITTLE ENOUGH DEFENSES AS IT IS. DEVOTING THEM TO YOUR BATTLE WOULD BE AN EXERCISE IN STUPIDITY. WE WOULD BE EXTERMINATED BY THE FIRST HOSTILE FORCE TO NOTICE US." Admin: "The only hostile force in the Area is Thailog's, and with your help, he will be neutralized." Dalek Admin: "<thinks for a while before answering> WE WILL SEND FOUR KILLCRUISERS AND A FACTORY VESSEL. NO MORE." Admin: "That will be more than sufficient..."

Fanboy or girlships< hmmm..well. I would say, though it is a lot of effort to meet someone and have to go meet them, it helps knowing you are starting out with SOME interest. This dosn't mean you have to go insane over it. Friends or not, basically as all things Pros and Cons.

PROS: IRL< you see the person more often, right from day one you know their body languge and how to act around them. You feel more comfortable, and theres less guess work in, "hmm is she/he an Ax-murderer?", you pretty much know their basic personallity from the get go.
CONS: IRL< I think you are less likly to meet the ppl who have the interests you do. You may be around a person for YEARS and not even know what the real them is like! They could be shy..(like me;>) and not come out with themselfs as clearly as on the net. And IRL meetings DO limit you to a lot less ppl.

PROS: DA 'NET< You meet the person and can see at once what they like. Most ppl are honest about themselfs. And you can talk to them without having to be shy. You can see that wild wacky side that cant really be expressed IRL. And you cant really just JUMP into an actuall relationship. So it may just be safer. If you decide to meet the person anyway, that is up to you.
CONS: DA 'Net< Well, like i said. They COULD in all probabillity be a deranged pyschotic Ax-murderer. MABEY they just have been faking there whole lives on the net..mabye they are such good con artists that they have fooled not only YOU but others as well. EVERYONE thinks she/he is a great person, *evil laughter* but...
Also, it is easier to get to know someone here. Now that was also listed as a pro. But it could be a con. In that you get used to the person one way, and can you make the trasaction?? That ofcourse would ONLY be if you were trying for a more personal relationship..i dont think with buds it would matter much:P but it could! You just never know..

OK..i just rambled..hmmm sorry ppls..BYE

**RP HERE**

At NORAD, the base commander has just woken up to the alarm. He growls in anger when it's canceled and tries to go back to sleep. A few minutes later, T'angelo and the Alpha Doppel break into his room and shoot him. The Doppel then morphs into the base commander and gets on the viewscreen/PA system. "Attention all personnel," he says. "Our entire base is undergoing a last minute security inspection by General Richard Waverly of the US Air Force. Please present yourselves in the main meeting room to greet the General. That is all." All remaining base personnel do so, following the military mindset. Once they get to that meeting room, they find the other doppelgangers waiting for them (disguised as Waverly and his retinue). These guys massacre the base personnel as soon as they let down their guard, only losing four gangstas and two doppelgangers in the process. A while later, Jerry walks up to T'angelo and says, "I think the entire base is secure." "Good," T'angelo replies. "To the main control room. There we'll call for backup and seal the place off."

The screen switches to the Red Robin, where Doug, Wilek, and the others are discussing their defense plans. "We have to protect the city at all costs," says Kitainia, watching the on-edge Jaden and Fleur as they nervously walk around. "Thailog will probably attack it, too, as a distraction." "I have some ships in the area," Wilek says. "If he tries anything, with us on the ground and them in the air, we should be able to easily stop him." "I hope so," Doug says. "We don't know when the attack will come, though. I guess all we can do is wait." He turns to make a CR post.

**PAUSE RP**

Hey everyone. Sorry I haven't been by in a while, I've really been lacking in spare time recently. You know how college semesters get after spring break. :) Now for some replies.

Stormy: Thanks for posting Luther's bio. She sounds like an interesting character. I look forward to seeing her soon in your fic.

Robby: Thanks for trying to find our songs. Too bad you couldn't. Oh well. I also agree with you, FF7 is a very pretty game. Especially the parts involving Tifa and Aeris. (Hey, I'm a guy, I have to say these things. <grin>) Love to watch those girls fight.

Ender's Game: Hope the movie is as good as the book. I just started in on reading the Ender series again, they're all good stories. I particularly like the "bugger" aliens in them because they helped inspire my original fanfic aliens, the Zenthrans. (Of course, the Zenthrans are more evil and dangerous than the buggers ever could be, as we shall see in upcoming fics.)

Lexy: If Kit and I go to the Gathering, we'll probably be going as Broadway and Elektra. So yes, I will be a male garg. Look forward to seeing you there. :)

**BEGIN SPOILERS FOR "DARK BEAUTY"**

Christine: Great job on your latest fic. I like Ventura's attitude. The plot, action, and character development in this one were also great. You got a great inspiration from my favorite Dean Koontz novel, I can hardly wait for Part 2. Additional note: Good to see you gave the jogger a name- Charlie. I'm also making that his first name in my fics (I think it was either you or Merlin Missy who started the idea, hope neither of you minds), last name Ketcham. We'll see him become more of a character in the next fic.

Oh, and Tim hardly ever reads your stories? Hmm, I guess living with the author kinda deadens the experience of them (which is very good). For you guys, anyway. Not so for Kit and myself.

**DARK BEAUTY SPOILERS END, BEGIN ONES FOR NEW TIMEDANCER**

Good job on the new Timedancer, Earl, Rahsaan, etc. I liked the plot in this one, it was very easy to follow and cool. Sun Tzu was also a memorable character, excellent portrayal and development of him. Also good character development on Sata and Brooklyn. I really liked their romantic scene at the end. Sata also got some more GREAT lines. :) Overall, thumbs way up, 9/10. Keep up the good work.

**SPOILERS OVER**

Anyone else going to see "Mod Squad" this weekend? Kit and I are, it will be the subject of our weekly movie review. Next week, we'll do "Go" and "The Matrix." Wish the latter would come out sooner, I really want to see its awesome action. :)

Nicodemus: Good points on "Longest Day." I too would have liked to see those things happening. Thanks for mentioning them to us.

Fandom Dating Scene: I haven't had much experience with this myself, though I have heard a lot. Kitainia and I met on the street. We had a class together September before last, and she overslept one morning, missed it. Then she bumped into me on 26th, recognized me from class (I hadn't really noticed her until that moment, only then did I realize how beautiful she was), and stopped me, asking what went on in class. We got to talking, found out we had a lot in common (love for Gargoyles and other shows included), and quickly became good friends. The rest, as they say, is history. Talk about luck.

Todd: Good points on Arthur and Demona. I too have read that story of Arthur being a thief. I wonder if he was ever a detective.

Fleur: Sorry you're sick again. Hope you get well shortly.

JEB: For me, it's the reasons listed above. Probably the same for other people.

TRC: Welcome back to the room. Hope you've resolved your e-mail problems. Feel free to jump into the RP anytime, glad to have you along. My favorite phrase for a missile is "You're fired." Cyber-cookie to whoever knows where I got that line.

Okay, guess that's all for now. Later!

**RP AGAIN**

As Doug finishes posting, there is a great shaking noise from outside as if several large airplanes are descending out of the sky. "Cool!" someone yells from outside. "What's going on?" a restaurant customer wonders, looking out the window and seeing Nipon's three Victorys, two Imperials, and one Super Star Destroyer coming out of the sky along with attack shuttles and TIEs. "You think this is a promo for the new Star Wars movie?" Shauna asks Doug. "Uh, no," Doug says, as the ships begin opening fire on the city and people begin fleeing from them, screaming in terror and/or pain. "This has to be the attack!" Kitainia yells. "Wilek, you better get your fleet ready now!" "They're going, Kit," Wilek says, pointing to his ships that are coming out of their cloaks and attacking the Imperial fleet. "But do we stay in here or go outside to help? I don't know if we can do much." Suddenly Doug's cell phone rings, he grabs it. "Yeah." "Doug, this is Jammer. I've spotted Imperial walkers." "What?" "Imperial walkers, AT-ATs, AT-STs, speeders, and stormtroopers. Two whole legions, heading across town towards the mall." "Get the truck warmed up, Jammer. We'll be right there." Doug hangs up. "Guess that answers Wilek's question. We have to go do something about the Imperial ground forces. Come on!" They rush out of the restaurant as the screen goes blank. To be continued.

TRC is seen sitting in front of some expensive looking hardware , it's main features however are the scanning screens that seem to be looking for various communications frequencies outside of the natural ones used as well as a few supposedly government and military frequencies . He's looking for SJ , Wilek and his team . A door opens into the room and Jebediah Walks up to TRC .
Jebediah : "Calf ?" . TRC : "Yo Jebediah , what's up ." Jebediah : "You got a few more packages , one or two more calls asking you to do some jobs ." , TRC : "And you told them ?" , Jebediah : "Exactly what you told me to . But you should get them done soon , the funds are running low , get me ?" , TRC : "Gotcha . I think I found something here but it disappeared a while ago now , so I'll get the coordinates of where it was at the time and check out the area , it'll take awhile but we should have some time . It's not the Dark Star , but the technology seems similar ." , Jebediah : "Right , (sigh) I'm going home to Bernice . You know how to reach me ." , TRC : "As always . The check's in the mail ."
TRC prepares to open one of his portals .
TRC: "You did remember to lock up those latest acquisitions did'nt you ." , Jebediah : "Of course I did , and have something to eat will you , you've been hunched over those scanners for days ." , (TRC smiles) , TRC : "Yes mother ."
He passes his hand through the air and opens a portal through which Jebediah immediately walks through and it closes . TRC leans back in his chair and rubs his eyes , "Where are you guys ."
**END RP**

The CR's last post-wipe hour - Well . I'd be lying if I said that I was'nt interested in the conversation that went on . I bit much in my taste but since I stayed up till around 5 the week before talking to Steve (Gooch) over ICQ while waiting for the wipe , that probably seems a little odd . Chances are I'm just jealous .

Traveler : Yeah Godzilla took down jets . But I believe he never really swatted them down in the true sense of the word , it was more atomic fire or , whatever the heck it is that he fires out of his mouth , that he used to take them down . No I've never heard of "The Tea Party" . By the way , I get off on the 31st too . Cursed Government just does'nt want us mixing with the students down hair on spring break . No could'nt do that could we , have the locals taking up space on the beach that we can be paid for . Note the irritation .

Oscars - I love Whoopi Goldberg(s/p?) . and as I may or may not have said before I am fiercely loyal to people I like and respect . I've had a few scenes on behalf of this room .
She made it bareable for me .

Gargoyles CR - Personnaly I am rather intimidated by the place . I really do'nt like going in there and reading all the posts . This is the main CR or Chat room I go to . Besides I like the folks in here a bit better . But I'll give it a try again . Maybe I'll get a different impression this time around .

Aaron : I rather liked American Gothic . Some eps. were just a bit too odd for me though , i.e. Potato boy .

Alex Wonder : heh heh , if they only new hmm ? Glad to have you back albeit for such a short time , but I'm sure we'll see you sooner or later , one way or another . You are missed . (looks over at Coyote ) , I really hope it's sooner . Some forces should just not be tampered with , this one ranking high on the list .

Sorrow : Hope you're doing better , the stuff you described sounds horrible .

Robby : Any idea when the new upload date for Demona May's website is . I feel that the top ten competition has made it more interesting . Friendly competition is always fun for me .

Fan Relations : I do'nt have too much trouble with this , I actually have found alot of fellow Gargs fans . I just take it into the conversation slowly , you know talk about things in general , specify to likes and dislikes , work my way over to cartoons and then to Gargoyles . If at any point the line is severed I do not persue it further . Sometimes we have great discussions about cartoons , and Gargoyles is always frequently mentioned . All the people in my group like it , or if they do'nt , they do'nt criticize we that do .
Guess what folks - I have completed my first real attempt at fan art . I did a pick of Goliath (a few mistakes but not too much ) , a few weeks ago , and yesterday I finished my first semi-origional gargoyle , my main problem with it is that I ran out of paper . The Goliath pic did'nt come out too well when I scanned it so only Steve has seen it so far , but I'll get it done properly soon . I've got a few other miscellaneous works done . Most originate out of Rage towards my Brother so most of them are male , But I've found a girl I hate so I think I should be able to come up with a few females soon . (N.B.-I'm not kidding , I think I really hate her .)
Ironwolf : hmm . Son of a Censor , I like the way that feels rolling off the tongue . Mind if I use it on occasion ?

Tricksters - Puck , hands down .

Celano : I do'nt have jack squat against vegetarians , I ca'nt afford to , some of my best friends on the net are vegetarians . I did'nt even plan it that way . Besides I eat meat down here because the butchered animals do'nt suffer , or if they do , not for long . (1 minute , tops) I like farm animals , but I do'nt have any beef against eating them . (sorry , that was irresistable )

Alternate personality - I am working on one right now . I'd definitely use it if I got the chance . He's an evil creature , demands worship , sacrifice and totems . he plans to rule the world . He also plans to have subbordinates who he will address with serial numbers and kill upon their first failure . He has several pits with the overly cliched trap door , there all different though . He really is very sick . I've figured out his personality to a "t" . Now I just have to separate our psyche and unleash him on the world . Of course I'll never know his name since I'm leaving it up for him to decide , so I ca'nt tell you who to look out for . But I'm sure you'll know him .

I'll just end with one question :
Q.What's your favourite phrase to put on a missile .

My A. "From me to you with love."

See you soon folks .

problems with nearly any philosophy. (There are a few I have a problem with, but they are ones that no decent person would agree with anyway.)
I like "Charmed" pretty well- watched my first ep last week. It's an interesting show. :)

Robby> Thanks- I try. :)

Nicodemus> Interesting- and valid- comments on The Longest Day there. You haven't made an enemy out of this staffer. However, I heartily agree with what you said- it's easier to critique than to write. I still think the writers did a good job. Few (if any) things are completely without flaw, y'know.

Christine> I was quite impressed by "Killra's Story." I was truly moved by the title character's life and troubles. That's rare. Bravo.

I've got better music this evening ... bought myself a copy of the Brain Setzer Orchestra's "The Dirty Boogie." Uh oh ... creativity demon gnawing at my brain ... imagine, if you will, all of our well-known garg couples ... Brook and Sata, Broadway and Angela, Goliath and Elisa ... out on the floor SWING DANCING!! **believe me, the image of Goliath in a zoot suit is leaving me on the floor in stitches. :)**

Page coding troubles (especially Demona Taina, Bronx Wyvern): I can help as well. Every page I've ever done has been hard-coded, so I have some experience.

Lexy: I'll have ya know ... the costume I'm planning for the Gathering is a heretofore unkown Ishimura web-winged garg with no enhancements or other decorations ... just me, some kind of clothing and these two giant Japanese fans as my wings. (Sure, *there's* realism ... a 300-lb web-winged gargoyle. Riiight ... :)

Kaioto: Hmm ... Milwaukee, huh? Been there once, but it wasn't for GenCon. I'll just say it was a blown Jeopardy! tryout and leave it there. *Not* one of my better moments.

Robby: You forget, my friend ... *three* people from the Detroit area! (LM and FS, infrequent posters as they are, I'm sure still count.)

Fanboy Love: Personally ... I won't make any judgments on my current situation, but I know my last relationship had some kind of fandom as its root (we met through the now-defunct MSU Star Trek Club).

Deuce: Not to add to your misery, but I suppose the Wings getting Chelios the other day doesn't help you much, does it? :) (Interesting aside ... Chelios is wearing #24 with the Wings, the number Bob Probert wore as a Red Wing ... the same Probert who now plays (so to speak) for the Blackhawks, where Chelios was acquired from. Freaaky, huh? :)

Jewel, re Pem East Whore Corps: Oh-kaaaay ... yet another story which confirms Bryn Mawr's status as the absolute *strangest* college in America.

I recently remembered that there's actually a parallel to this in an old Welsh legend, although here he was trying to steal pigs rather than chickens. In the story, Tristram was guarding King Mark's pigs while the regular swineherd went off to deliver a message to Iseult for him, and King Arthur and some of his knights (including Kay and Bedivere) tried to steal the pigs from him, but failed. The story's probably fictional in the context of the TGS Universe, but it's interesting to note how Arthur's present-day career is paralleling the original legends in odd ways. (I hadn't even realized the similarity above until just recently).

Tales from the Mawr Side: OK, OK. The Whore Corps Story. The whole thing started in the 1930's. The girls who lived in the dorm Pembroke East were running a brothel out of the dorm. In order to get in, a guy had to be wearing a yellow shirt and ask to see his daughter. Everything was all fine and dandy until one day, someone's father, completely unwittingly, came in wearing a yellow shirt, and asked to see his daughter. End o' brothel. But it was revised in a transmuted way with Hell Week in the 50's. Every dorm has Dorm Dress-Up Day, and Pem East is one of only two dorms with a set personae--the Pem East Whore Corps. We even have a little song that goes with it: "We are the girls of the Pem East Whore Corps/We are the girls that the boys pay more for/We come fully guarenteed/To fulfil your every need." So on WHore Corps day, all the little froshies dress up like whores, and have to wear a yam with a string through it as a necklace--condom on yam optional. When I was a member of the Whore Corps, I had to have the condom on the yam, and every time I was asked why I was wearing a yam with a condom on it around my neck (I was asked fairly often, especially since I had a class at another college that day), I had to give out a condom and say, "Because a safe yam is a happy yam." When I helled froshies, I made them go to nearby Haverford College dressed as whores, with big signs saying, "Sinners, Repent!" and march outside of the "party" dorm at 'Ford chanting "Sinners, repent!" over and over again. heh heh heh...

Vegetarianism: Enjoy your roughage. ;) Kidding, kidding. Several of my reallyi good friends are vegetarians. If that's how people want to eat, go for it. But the ones who are all high and mighty about it just make me want to eat a big, bloody veal steak right in front of them and say, "Mmmmmm, dead baby cow."

*DEATH*
Our resident sickness villian, Sli Sludge is sitting in a corner of the CR, reading thru a list of people he's planning to infect. All of a sudden, a shadow falls over him. He looks up to see Fleur standing a few feet in front of him, with a massive cannon pointed straight at him.
"This is for that food poisoning thing you gave me yesterday," she tells him. For a moment, SS looks scared, then he recognises the weapon.
"You expect me to be afraid of Mr Carter?" he sneers, "I know what it does - the worst I'll get is a stain."
Fleur smiles sweetly at him, in a very unpleasent way.
"Oh this isn't Mr Carter. This is Mr Carter II. It looks like the original, but it's been modified... somewhat."
With that, she fires. A massive fireball erupts from the barrel, incinerating SS in seconds. As the smoke clears, Fleur grins and looks down at Mr Carter II.
"I _really_ like this thing."
*END DEATH*

Hi all,

Kit> Thanks so much for the RP advice. I was supposed to go last night but... *looks darkly at the remains of SS* something unexepected came up. (and that pun was not deliberate. :)) Thankfully, it didn't last long, but I'm begining to think I'll _never_ get to go. Ah well, there's always next week to launch my particular brand of insanity on some poor unsuspecting saps. :)

Robby> *starts giggling at the thought of an Owen Pokemon.*

Jewel> >there's a huge, long story behind the Whore Corps, if any of y'all care to more Bryn Mawr lore< Any group that happily calls itself the Whore Corps I've _got_ to learn more about. So please, spill all!!

Jaden>>For some reason I can work at night and get up around 2 or 3 p.m. and feel perfect, but I hate working during the day, sleeping at night, and having to get up early in the morning.< You too? Last year, before the arrival of 8am lectures in my life, my usual bedtime was anywhere between 1am and 4am. For some reason though, I feel _more_ rested by staying up late and sleeping in, than keeping 'regular' hours. *shrugs* maybe we're just weird. :)

Argent> re; Master Trickster> Oohhh no. *A creativity demon launches itself at Fleur and digs in.*

Get well soon Bronx. Then kill Sli Sludge. :)

Lexy> You're going to the Gathering? Great, another person I have to be jealous of. :)

SOROW> Good luck with school stuff. Is your kidney (?) still giving you trouble? I really hope not.

Vegetarianism> I've been a vegie for just over two years now, but that's my choice. A lot of people I know do it for health reasons, but I have to admit, there's this one girl who is absolutly fanatical about it, and she scares the living $*it out of me. I don't expect anyone else to stop eating meat because I don't just as I don't like people trying to make me eat meat. As far as I'm concerned, what a person sticks in their mouth is their business.(Ooohh boy, there's an opening for a Clinton/Lewinsky joke.:))

And on that note, >:)
TTFN!

*RP*
The TV turns itself on. Fleur, unable to sit still for some reason, wanders aimlessly around the Red Robin, picking up objects, fiddling around with them for a few seconds, then putting them back down. It does not go unnoticed by Miriam and Janice, who sit nearby.
"Is something wrong Ms Fleur?" Miriam asks. Fleur frowns, then shrugs.
"I don't know. I've just got this feeling. Something's coming. Something powerful."
"An enemy?" Janice asks. Fleur's frown deepens
"I don't know." she replies quietly, and she turns towards the restaurant windows, wrapping her arms around her waist, her eyes distant.
Outside, dark clouds gather. A storm is coming.
The TV switches off.

A thought that I had about the potential effects of Demona's spell in "The Longest Day" (and I hope that I'm not stepping out of line as a member of the TGS staff in bringing it up). The people who wanted Demona to cast the spell and wipe out the fay (so genocide against gargoyles and humans is wrong but genocide against faerie-folk is perfectly acceptable? :) argued that it was a necessary act to save the clan, and particularly Angela, from being captured by the Unseelies. But would it really have made the gargoyles safer?

Think about it. The spell would have killed any human who had ever been touched by magic. Nearly all the humans in Manhattan has been touched by magic three times (turned into gargoyles by Puck, turned to stone by Demona, made to fall asleep by Oberon). So what would have been the most likely result of the spell for the New Yorkers? Utter decimation, with the only survivors among the humans being tourists and people who had somehow managed to be out of town on all three occasions. They see all the rest of the city dropping dead around them, and who's going to be the most likely scapegoat? Angela and the rest of the Wyvern clan could expect to be hunted down once again, this time by the vengeful few human survivors. So they wouldn't have been made safer at all through the spell; it would simply have replaced one problem with another.

(This was something that only just occurred to me today, incidentally, and didn't factor in Breakdowns, so I imagine that it's safe for me to say it).

TIMEDANCER: BWA HA HA! No sooner did i read the spoiler-sentence than i thought, YEAH! THEY DID SUN-TZU! And they did it so well too...ok now...who on the TGS staff has "The Art of War" on his/her nighttable?

Is it some kind of weird irony that I was looking through it myself this morning before i knew a THING about this TGS ep or WHAT???

VEGETARIANISM: I would die. I'm practically carnivorous. Another thing is, I'm allergic to wheat--bread, pizza, buns, donuts, cake, noodles, anything with flour will make me terribly sick if I'm not careful how much I eat. Ever try avoiding stuff with wheat in it? Try it for a week, I bet you can't do it. ANyway, after that there's no friggin' way I'd give up any OTHER kinds of food I like.

I admit, though, that one thing I cannot stand is supermarket beef...I live on a farm, we kill our own beef and pork, then trade with my uncle who has lamb and chicken...nice 'n' fresh...all the beef in teh cafeterias or restaurants just tastes WRONG, and I hate it. Weird cuz beef is one of my favourites at home.

Maybe it's cuz the cafeteria keeps using eye of the round....you know, the cut that needs to be slowcooked for a good day if you want to cut it with anything less than a chain saw...of course, that doesn't excuse their disgusting steaks or burgers...

MOORCOCK: *stuffs NOMAD OF THE TIME STREAMS under her pillow* Whatever gave you the idea I liked THAT stuff?? *meanwhile BLACK BLADE starts playing on the CD player*

Greetings everyone. Well, other than these comments I'm about to make, I won't have anything else to post about until the new TGS ep comes out.

Vegetarianism: Yeah, I agree it's a personal choice. But I think it would be great if everyone could eat more veggies and less meat because overall, it's cheaper in terms of natural resources. It takes a lot of land and water to raise the animals we're going to eat, much more than if we were just raising crops to feed ourselves. As for me, I admit that I'd have a difficult time cutting meat completely from my diet. I don't eat much meat in the first place, but it is definitely there. And it is pretty important nutritionally, even if it is somewhat carcinogenic... but hey, what isn't nowadays?

Fanboys: Wow, you all mean if I go to one of those conventions looking my ordinary self, I can probably get a date? hahaha... just kidding. Well, I've always wanted to attend a convention anyway, although I'm not as serious a fan as some people. I think I'd get along with fanboys all right though - I actually had a crush on a Star Wars fanboy a while ago. *embarrassed grin*

Fan Relationships > Tim and I met through gaming, so we have that in common first and foremost. He's not nearly the Gargoyle obsessive that I am, though (despite his consuming interest in the Illuminati; I had to call him at work the day that first ep with Matt Bluestone aired and I was laughing so hard he thought I was in trouble or something). But he watches and enjoys, though I'm sure a lot of people would be astounded to know that he hardly ever reads my stories (gasp!) ; )

Yes! Yes! I actually updated my webpage! (Sorry, had to gush.)

Vegetarianism> I'm most definitely not a vegetarian, although I almost never eat red meat anymore. Part of that is for health reasons--and I'm sorry, the last time I ate anything even remotely resembling beef in the dining hall at Hood, I was late for class because I was so sick afterwards. But even at home, I don't have much of a taste for it. So I can understand where vegetarians are coming from; it's not that great a sacrifice to cut meat out of your diet. However, what I could never handle is going vegan. I draw the line at milk and cheese. :)

Fanboy/fangirl relationships: Sigh. A lot of my friends just look at me strangely when they find out about my interest in Gargoyles, et al. And I don't know any fanboys in the vicinity who'd understand. The closest to a fanboy/fangirl relationship I have is with my friend Dave, who only wants to be friends but can understand obsessions with sci-fi and fantasy. (I'm still trying to get him to watch Buffy -- he still associates it with the rest of the teen shows on the WB.)

Okay. I have class in half an hour, and I still need to do the reading. Oops. (Bad Mandi, no biscuit.) Stargate fans: I dug up some unposted episode sounds, and realized I had one of the best O'Neill vs. Maybourne bits recorded. Click my name--it's kind of a big file, but it's one of my favorites.

Re: FANBOY & FAN RELATIONSHIPS - I can agree with the point that it's hard to find people of the opposite sex that have your interests in specific fandoms (at least the single ones). I remember I made quite an reputation for myself early on in some of the local cons in West-Central Florida as being the "Mungo" of the Anime Fan-set (big, heavyset, and constantly looking for love). Believe me, if a single girl/woman makes it known that she is such at a con, scenes like what was previously described DOES happen.

I met my love outside of the fandom, and while she can watch the shows and read my fan-fic, she doesn't get into the Gargoyles-fanset as much as I do. Thus is one of the reasons why she won't be coming with me to the Gathering (which is a shame, she's missing out on meeting several of our on-line friends!). Fortunately, she allows me to indulge in my passion for the show.

AARON (Re: Gold Digger) - Count me as another GD fan! And I too have had an idea to combine Gargs and Gina & Brittany in a Crossover fic. My idea is still in the rough stage, but if you finish yours first, let me see it okay? Certain people around her (looks at Christine with a wink!) consider my Crossover stories to be some of the best around, and I can and will give your work an honest critique.

Will comment on the new eps soon... Maintain & Check Six!

**Kyryn sneaks into the room**

Tricksters> Actually, I can see most of them trying to pull elaborate gags on one another and tripping themselves up. I'd probably pick a smaller trickster like a kitsune or B'rer Rabbit to put one over on the big guys, then sneak away while everyone was arguing. I always find it interesting that almost every culture/mythos has a trickster figure. I guess that's because it is one of the human behavioral archetypes.
Grandmother doesn't really qualify as a trickster figure. She is more on the level of the 'mother earth/creator' or 'old wisewoman' type figure.

Ironwolf> True, the ratio of girls to guys in fandom tends to run decidedly on the male side. No offense intended, but there's a reason that a lot of girls refer to fanboys as 'drooling' fanboys. I can't count the number of times that I've had to tell guys to back off just because I look pretty and Okami isn't hovering behind me at the moment. Funny, most of the girls of fandom that I know met all their 'serious' relationships outside of cons. In fact, I met Okami outside a con (at a D & D game), although we both enjoy going to cons. I see Celano's point though. Sometimes it's hard to find someone in the local area outside a con who shares your interests.

Cyrway> You can't eat beef or pork? I can't eat pork. For some reason it depresses me. My doctors think that I might be reacting to something in the processing or whatever they are feeding/injecting into the pigs but they couldn't find anything specific. My solution -- I gave up eating pork.

Celano> I've got no problem with vegetarians. I have a good friend who is a vegetarian. My problem is usually with the rabidly militant factions of any group-- those who wish to impress their views and rules onto others. Even if I don't like a particular group, I respect their right to say things. "I may not agree with a word you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

Personality change> Well, if it involved a physical change, I'd probably want have a mutate alter-personality. Mental personality-- there's an expression that fits-- psycho amazon war bi*** from hell with an attitude. I'm normally a quiet person, but there's a nasty streak inside that wouldn't mind kicking a** and taking names occasionally.

(looking up) Well, I've rambled enough for a while. Got to get back to work before they miss me.

Celano >Man where do you live mars? Shoot I wish I lived in a area where the guys of Fandom preferred non fan girls! Lets put it in a story to give an example of how bad it is.
Fandom life story line*****
young lady walks in to a commons area of a local convention. Leaning back her head she shouts to the heavens”God I hate being single”. Suddenly a loud “WHOOSH” splits the air. It is the sound of hundreds of heads turning at once. “RUMBLE” The ground trembles as hundreds of guys rush to her location. They vault furniture, knock down trees, even punch through walls in their rush. With a snarl peace bonded weapons are ripped from their sheaths and the lonely guys attack each other. A running battle commences; Fierce, Bloody, and Very Dirty. Finally 10 guys fall exhausted at the young ladies feet. “so would you like to see wing Commander? it has the new star wars trailer! No go out with me we can go for Mexican. Cheap skates I will take you to the opera! we can see deflatermouse! “ The amused Fan Girl surveys her choices(for some reason yall are always amused at us guys???!!!!), and the luck winner or winners(hey depends on the girl) go off to happy bliss while the rest of us losers lick our wounds and listen for the next call. The End
******** all right that may have been an exaggeration but not by much

Split personality> umm hey guys is there any more space for rent up here? The voices say no, but Xanatos would be cool. It would be nice to be a uncaring son of a <censor> oops

Spike>thanks for the site info for the Gathering. I guess DC lives a little longer:)

Tricksters> I say they are all working together. Loki keeps talking about events form Brooklyn’s timedancing so mabey he knows that the good guys win and he is working with the other tricksters. Just think how scary a third party in this war would be! As for a fight if I had to pick a winner Grandmother( we just don’t know how bad she really is plus she is a she and that species is much meaner than the he)

Aaron> Eh?

Celano> I'm a vegetarian, and not by choice...I get violently sick when I eat red meat and pork...anyway, I think that it's not really cruelty to animals...it's a survival thing...you probably have to take vitamin suppliments for your protein, ne? I can eat venison and moose fine, because they have to be hunted...and even then, bowhunting is my prefered method of hunting...I hate guns...

Okay, totally off subject...

Robby> If it happened in a serious fic, probably nothing...you just have two mates of Brooklyn standing there. But because Stormy and I like making spoofs of Mike Moorcock's stuff (Heh...not that we don't like him, we, or at least I, love his stuff), heh...Teletubbies are everywhere...

*wings in, and spends nearly two hours slogging through unread posts* Finally! First off:

Semi-rant ahead:

VEGETARIANISM: I don't understand why ppl are so against this. Yes, I happen to be one. I became don't eat meat because I like animals, and would prefer to avoid anything that requires killing them, and no other reason. I also don't wear leather. But I do eat eggs and dairy products, and use those animal products I feel can be obtained without hurting animals.

But I do not expect anyone else to do the same. I expect ppl to make the choices that suit their lifestyles and natures, and to allow me the same freedom. Most vegetarians feel the same. So I am puzzled as vegetarianism is frequently met with such hostility and/or rude humor.

Yes, I realise there is a militant faction among vegetarians, and the truth is, I find them as irritating as any non-vegetarian does. They get on my nerves, and I personally think they're a little crazy. But this is no reason to dis us all. After all, there are crazy fringes in any group.

Thank you. Semi-rant over.

ironwolf> I'm a lonely fangirl...the local fanboys seem to prefer non-fangirl mates. The last guy to hit on me (maybe) was my comic book guy, and he was probably just trying to improve his business.

I mean, I've tried talking to non-fanboys, but eventually, my obsessions rear their heads and the next thing I hear is usually, "You like WHAT? HA-ha-HA-ha!" *dark look from me* "Oh, you're serious..." Then I never hear from them again.

Aaron> I loved American Gothic. So creeeeeepy! :D It really sucked they cancelled it, and just when I was really getting in to it, to.

BTW, that reminds me...anyone here like "Charmed"? Oh, I know, it's Wicca 91210, but it's the first new show I actually look forward to watching since Gargoyles was cancelled.
Traveller> I would use it, but only if it looked like 'Goyles might lose. And only for 'Goyles.
Argent> Puck. Definatly Puck.

There's something inherantly wrong with waking up at seven AM to begin preparing for school and not being done with the ^**%^$%#@ work until 11:30 PM... Grr... I haven't even had a chance to watch todays ReBoot ep yet. Double grr...

Wilek- No real beef with Nintendo, just that they made the N64 a cartridge based system, and I've always called them Shitendo. Don't know why, I have a ton of their games. Maybe its because I think they have a really dopey mascot...

Argent- mewtwo is the 150th Pokemon, and his psychic powers are the best, and he's also the coolest looking character in the game... Except of course for his mother Mew, the hidden 151rst Pokemon...

Also, Puck would beat the other tricksters, he seems to have the most creativity.

JEB- Nice Launchpad reference.

Cyrway- What happens when more than one mate of Brooklyn's show up in one universe? I dunno. He has problems with the three he ends up with in mine, but nothing too serious...

Aaron- Do you realize now, citizens of San Antonio outnumber citizens of any other sort in the room? There's TWO of us... (Well okay, Doug and Kitainia are clearly from the same place, but they know each other, so it doesn't count...)

Speaking of whom...

Doug and Kitainia- Sorry, I searched 50 or so websites the other night, and spent several hours, but I just couldn't find midis for Demolition Man or Last Wish. Sorry.

Kaioto- If I were in TGS and had a alternate personality there? Thats easy enough for me. Vinnie. Granted he hasn't appeared in TGS itself yet... But he's my counterpart. I'm a generic clone of him you know. So's my evil older twin Lonny.

Good evening, everyone.

*Personal and RP announcement*
Just for anyone who actually knows anything about the Legend of the Five Rings, either the CCG or the RPG, even for the people who know me on-line. I who was once a Ronin, have found a lord who is a true and noble enough servant of the people to hold my allegiance. It is with the utmost pride and gratitude that I have pledged myself to my Daimyo, Toku. I will proudly serve the most wise and inspirational leader in Rokugan with the Mon of the Monkey Clan as my own. Long live Toku!
*End declaration of Fealty*

*Time Dancer Spoiler*
Great episode, and a great picture of Sun Tzu. I wish that perhaps the battle arrangements could've been more vivid, and characters had more time for dialogue and interaction, but I feel the impressions of the story were carried well. The last scene between Brooklyn and Sata is a very nice depiction, emphasizing the value of displaying sincerity in the samurai culture as well as showing Brooklyn making character progress. He still feels a little stale though, a little too cookie cutter of a male when put up next to Sata. I also liked Sun Tzu's use of dispersive terrain, encircling maneuvers, entrapping tactics, higher ground, and cavalry defenses. As well, he uses his classical strategy of misrepresenting your stance, feigning weakness to all when he position was strong.
*End TD Spoiler*

Comment on the Art of War: When fools get loud, you need to worry about their boasts. When samurai get loud, you need worry about being dragged into a mistake that will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. When the foolish get quiet, you pounce and squash them while vulnerable. When generals of the East are quite, reevaluate your strengths, for you are in trouble.

Lexy: Sure … gloat. See if I care. *Grins* I'll get to the Gathering someday. Until then, I'll settle for Milwaukee.

My roommate got to go to the Hard Knock Life Tour tonight … gr, but he got to see DMX. I mean, forget the rest of them, I don't like rap in general, but DMX … this guy has some real talent. Wow. Reminder to self, beat roommate repeatedly with soft, blunt object upon his return.

SJ: Yeah, tre Judge Dread. Very cool. And I loved the Dumlao prank btw. Excellent and in good taste.

Posing a Question: If you, yourself, were in the TGS universe, and had to have some sort of unconditional split personality, what would be the most interesting counter-persona for you?

Just wanted to comment on some recent Gargoyles episodes. Lately, they haven't been quite as good as they could have been.

***SPOILERS AHEAD***

The Longest Day> I finally managed to read both parts, and would like to offer some constructive (and brutal) criticism. This story had a lot of problems, and I’d like to point them out.

One of the biggest problems this episode had was the mishandling of major supporting characters in the story. MacBeth, Tony Dracon, and the Halflings seem to have only been introduced to move the plot forward.

Tony, in particular, seems to have only served the purpose of giving Angela, Sata, and Ariana something to do while the males were fighting the Unseelies. This is a flagrant and downright insulting use of an important character in the episode. I mean, he simply appears, ‘does his thing’, and then disappears off the face of the episode. A character like him, when he appears in an episode, always plays either a central, or a supporting role. Here, he’s little more than flashy background. In this case, it would have been much better to simply have some generic ‘thugs’ break into the Yakuza warehouse.

In MacBeth’s case, he’s put to a little better use, but he’s still essentially ‘flashy background’. While he has a more interesting set of scenes, he doesn’t play any real essential role in the plotline. So his scenes are simply a waste of space and of a good character. It would have been much better if the events surrounding MacBeth in this episode had had a more important impact on the storyline.

The problem with the Halflings is different, though. They _do_ play an important part in the story, they’re well-handled and -used. But the problem with them is that they appear in the beginning, kick butt, and then disappear again, with only a brief mention of them near the end of Part 2. I think it would have been much better if, to counter Broadway’s affliction, the gargoyles needed some of Rita’s blood as well as Demona’s, Angela’s, and Elisa’s. So they would have to search, find, and fight the Halflings again in another major battle near the end of the two-parter. It would have added some much-needed symmetry to the episode, and would have made the Halflings a much more integrated part of the plot.

Another problem comes with the introductions of Maeve and Demona. Frankly, I think Demona was introduced way too late into the story considering how important she was to the plotline. Important characters in a story are _always_ introduced as early as possible in a story (the major exception being 'behind the scenes' type bad- or good-guys). This could have easily been done and the problem here corrected by having a paragraph mentioning Demona's existence very early on in the story. It would have established Demona’s presence in the episode and, since Demona always plays a major role in whatever episode she appears in, people would have assumed she’d appear again sooner or later, and so her late entrance into the ‘meat’ of the story could be accepted and even expected.

Maeve suffers much the same problem. She appears so late in Part 1 that it looks like her inclusion into the episode was more of a afterthought than anything else. And her appearance in Part 2 continues this feeling because Maeve’s machinations aren’t all that well integrated into the rest of the plot.

Then there were the daydreams of Demona’s in Part 2 that just about _everyone_ didn’t like because they were considered to go on far too long. I, too, think this is the case, but I think the problem could have been alleviated if the daydream scenes were interspersed with scenes of everyone hunting for Demona or something. It was simply the fact that _all_ the daydream scenes were introduced in one large block that made them hard to digest.

Demona’s stopping her ‘ultimate spell’ simply for Andrea’s sake was also badly out of character IMO. Not so much because I think she’s gotten ‘too mellow’ (though that forms a little of the opinion), but because frankly it just doesn’t fit. Demona’s got a daughter she loves fiercely, and will do anything to protect; yet she blows a spell she _knows_ will provide safety for said daughter, and for what? A friend she made only a month or two before? Excuse the heck out of me folks, but I think in this case that family would come first. That’s not to say that I don’t think she’d feel nothing towards killing Andrea; on the contrary, I think she’d feel horrible about it. But when making that crucial decision as to whether to cast the spell or not, she would have chosen family over a friend. To do otherwise, considering her nature and character, shows an act of cowardice (in not following through).

(Actually, I think it would have been a far more dramatic resolution for this plot thread if Demona decided to go ahead with the spell anyway. Then, when she found Demona in the park, Elisa _accidentally_ did something to shut down the spell (maybe knock over that flux thingie and damage it, scuff up the pentagram as she’s walking toward Demona, etc.). It really wouldn’t set Demona against humans in general, just Elisa in particular. This would reignite an interesting conflict for the future, as well as make the ending of the episode more emotionally charged when Demona, Elisa, and Angela have to heal Broadway.)

I also thought Broadway’s cure at the end of the story was far too simple. Not so much in the ‘sacrifice angle’, but in the actual mechanics of the spell. Demona had all the ingredients for curing Broadway right there, and had no interruptions whatsoever, so the scene seemed rather flat considering its importance. Like I said above, it would have been better if Demona had needed Rita’s blood as part of the spell to heal Broadway. This would have meant some action and some more symmetry to the story as the gargoyles searched for and fought the Halflings again (this time kicking the Halflings’ butts, instead of merely escaping through a ‘trick’).

Finally, there’s the vast difference in episode lengths between Parts 1 and 2 of the episode. Discounting the prologues, Part 1 is roughly twice the length of Part 2. This made reading Part 2 slightly disappointing, as I was expecting it to be about as long as the former part. It would have been much better, lengthwise, if Part 1 had been broken in half and shown as two parts of a three-parter.

Don’t get me wrong. The writing on this episode was excellent, up with the best of TGS. But the episode suffered from a number of plot and design flaws (a tiny bit appaling to me, considering this episode’s importance in the storyline, since this episode was beginning to be plotted around the time I left TGS in mid-March of 1998). It was good, but it could have been _much_ better, IMHO. (Of course, it’s supposed to be a _lot_ easier to criticise than create...)

***SPOILERS ENDED***

Well, now that I’ve made enemies of every member of TGS, I’d better get out of her before they begin trying to get a lock on me in the comment room with their nuclear weapons.

Bye all!

New on my site:

Added a Silver Flame story written for Adam, about his gargoyle character Killra
http://www.eskimo.com/~vecna/s_flame_archive.html

Added "Dark Beauty Part One: Pursuit" (but it will be at least two weeks before Part Two comes out, so if you can't bear the stress of waiting, don't read it yet <g>)
http://www.eskimo.com/~vecna/garg_fan_fiction.html

Updated the MageLore site, including a copy of the review from Pyramid and a couple pics of me at my recent Totem Books reading and signing
http://www.eskimo.com/~vecna/magelore_index.html

As always, comments eagerly welcomed!

I mostly finished Becca's Lexington suit today ... damn I wish I could sew ... still, for someone who relies on a hot glue gun, it didn't turn out too shabby at all. Just got the feet left to do. Of course, now she's jumping off the couch trying to fly ...
(Lexy -- no, I'm not dressing up this year; just Becca is)

Pokemon > Is it going to make people mad to wonder if I'm the only one in here who abso-fricken'-lutely cannot stand that show? But Becca loves it. I kept her away from Barney, Teletubbies, and the Power Rangers ... can't win 'em all, I guess. :P

Heather and Demona May> very nice pics.

Demona Taina> A clan, nothing but female's pretty interesting! Your clan reminds me of the Amazon Women. Because if they had a son they would keep them until they were 5 or 10 then they would send them to their fathers.

Question for TGS
I was wondering, would the staff ever make a Timedancer episode dealing with Brooklyn and Sata going to Scotland? They would run into his past clan but before Castle Wyvern was built. And whent they still lived in the caves and when
hudson and his rookery kin were haltings becauseI wonder how Brooklyn would fell to be older than his elder I know that the TGS staff can't answer questions for futuer episodes but I was just wondering.

Whoops! Almost forgot. If I'm right, I expect Corbie to reveal her true identity at the worst possible moment, like right after she's lured Merlin into a trap of some kind.

The only problem with this is that she may, in spite of herself, develop some feelings for Merlin.

Hello boys and girls!!!

Did you like the fanfic idea!?! That's great!!! GREAT!!! I thought that people wouldn't like it, so, I was gonna write it and keep it for myself. But now... thank you all! I am now writing the scene when Ash and the others entered Goliath's gym. The story has VERY much details, very much poetry and stuff, know what I mean? Hehe. I have to write a synopsis of the story to guide me, because too much detail can make me forget the story, right? The story is called, as of now, "The Supreme Master". Should I change it? No? Okay. Hehe. Should I say what did Ash do to knock Goliath out? Did he manage it? Did Goliath kick his butt? Or viceversa? [in slow motion:] Hehe.....

About the Gargirls Clan... I have the idea RIGHT on my head, but I don't have the tools to start it. A friend of mine's offered me an URL, just what we needed to start. Second, I need a graphics program, browser upload capability, CGI knowledge and the maze idea. So, it may take a while, but think of it. If someone can offer some help... THANK YOU!!! I already have the Webring, but that is not necesary anyway. I need a pic of the Cloisters, big enough to fit in the screen in a way the viewer doesn't need to scroll left and right to see the rest of the page. (That gets on my nerves!!!) So, I think that's all.

[votes for Gargoyles again, laughs at the Animaniacs]

Oh, Animaniacs you don't stand a chance! Gargoyles are winning, oh, you know that! Gargoyles are the rulers of the animated blasts... OH GARGOYLES!!! [claps her hands]

So, is that all? Yeah. [opens Wordpad to continue the crossover] See ya'! [walks out singing and dancing the macarena] OH GARGOYLES!!! [claps her hands]

Maybe I'm just high, or maybe I'm a paraniod SOB when it comes to relationships, but am I the only one who thinks that not only does Corbie already know who Merlin is, she is in fact Skald (sp) the Stormcrow Loki was talking to about seven eps back.

Her presence allows her to not only keep an eye on Merlin & co., but seems to already be having a disruptive influence on the crew.

I'm gonna be away from my e-mail for a few days, so I probably won't be able to see the string of flames, lightning blasts, and rotten fruit thrown my way from this, but...

p.s. I think the ideal Cassidy for the Preacher movie would be Robert Downey Jr, but that's just my opinion.

She had replied with the Teletubbies ptoofing in and hugging everyone...ever seen Tinky Winky attach himself to Caligo? Not pretty...anyway, in a story we're actually working on for GFW, "Frayed Ends of Sanity", the same thing happens, only with Evil Alternate Universe Gecko and Arin...and then there's the Gargoyles FF DM...though I shouldn't get into that...as for it working with Lexington...I don't know...it never happened before...though we have a theory that if more than four Eternal Champions are in the same universe, the Eternal Champions from other Disney shows pop out...So far, Darkwing Duck, Baloo, and Gruffy Gummi, PJ and Bonkers have showed up...well, Mike Moorcock never specified why there can't be more than four champs in one universe, he just say there can't be anymore...okay, I'm rambling...back to work...

Heh ... that's what you get for skipping two days. **sets self into Fleur's giant comfortable chair**

Joey: I want details on this petition, if ya don't mind. :)

WCC corrections (especially Wilek, Cyrway): Send me the details. This thing's in a constant state of flux, folks. Any corrections that need to be made, do not hesitate to send 'em my way.

"The Crow": I wish they could have left the film alone as it was, a testament as Brandon Lee's final work. By itself, the Crow was great. The other stuff that has evolved from it have only served to cheapen it, as far as I'm concerned. (Incidentally, on my list of greatest comic stories of all time, "The Crow" ranks #3, behind "Watchmen" and "The Dark Knight Returns.")

Army of Darkness: Heh ... Duke Nukem 3-D rips this film off so much with the dialogue that my uncle reset the music in his version with the AoD soundtrack! :)

"Army of the Night": Thanks for the continued praise. **looks at GFW** Hey, it's up to 4 1/2 stars! **assumes Ben Stein face** Wow.

**SPOILERS FOR "PLOYS!"**

Very good story. Corbie is becoming an interesting multifaceted character. It will be quite fascinating to see her relationship with Emrys evolve.

**END SPOILERS FOR "PLOYS"**

**pauses to listen to CD** Boy, talk about ego ... I'm listening to the soundtrack of an obscure '70s musical called "Pippin" (incidentally, Warner is supposed to make this an animated feature in the next three years, I heard). It's up to a song with the title character talking about how he's so "extraordinary." Man, he can't get enough of himself. :P

Heather: Hurry back before Robby becomes a basket case like me! :)

Cyrway: Oh, before I forget, please educate me on the so-called "Mates of Brooklyn" rule, if ya don't mind. Does a similar rule apply to mates of Lexington, since apparently WCC has more of his mates than Brook's? :)

"GREAT!" Jaden says to no one. "If we don't do something soon, I will be partly responsible for thousands of deaths. No preasure." All of a sudden the werewolf feels like someone is watching him.
Jaden moves over to Doug, "Um Doug, I've got good news and I've got bad news."
"I'll take the bad news first." Doug says as he turns to look at Jaden.
"Well, for a while I've been getting the feeling that I'm being watched so I think that the evil scientist that made me the way I am has sent another bad guy to capture me and I don't know who it could be or what he is able to do. But you can bet that he's going to be a lot stronger than Tracker was."

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

Ok I was just reading a little of last weeks comments and what was going on? Were a few of you bored or extremely hyper? I had to check to make sure I wasn't in a chatroom by mistake.

Wilek-I like that pic.

Traveler-I was wondering when you were going to show up here again. <Hair-ball> Hey I resemble that remark! (hee hee hee)

Well I gotta get up early in the morning, grownnnnnnnnnnn. I hate getting up early, I'm not a morning person. For some reason I can work at night and get up around 2 or 3 p.m. and feel perfect, but I hate working during the day, sleeping at night, and having to get up early in the morning. Can anyone explain this?

**RP!**

[At the Red Robin...Wilek: "Wait a minute. Rho, who'd you leave in charge of the Avatar?" Rho: "Commander Khesaat. He used to be commander of a Khafran battle fleet; if there's any trouble, he'll be able to take care of it." If y'all must know, the Khafrans are an alien warrior race resembling anthropomorphic lions. They may have somewhat inspired the Kilrathi, but I could be wrong about that...]

**PAUSE RP!**

I saw my first Buffy ep tonight. Correction: I saw half of it. I need to watch this thing more often!

Cyrway> <<Ecky-ecky-ecky-BaDONG boioioioioioioioioioioiii....>> What the...?!

Demona Taina> Very kewl Gargs/Pokemon idea!

Robby> Any particular reason you seem to have such issues with Nintendo? <<Start considering the fact that he's Puck and that in the original drafts he was going to be an ardvaark...>> LOL! I can just see it..."Burnettvark, I CHOOSE YOU!" <throws pokeball, from which emerges an aardvark in a business suit and glasses> BTW, I'd like to commission something from Demona May, but she can't accept e-mail commissions and I can't conduct this kind of business using snail-mail. What to do...<<go ahead and do it. Then even if we do/when we do you have the excuse you wrote the story beforehand, and that your version is just as valid as any other>> Well...thanks, but there's the minor issue of me wanting to keep my ficverse as closely continuous as possible with TGS. If they write anything that contradicts what I've done, then I'll either have to discount their ep as being part of my ficverse (not a realistic option for various reasons) or delete and rewrite whichever one of my fics conflicts with theirs. (Which is why I hope and pray that they never overthrow what I did in 'This Ascension', because that fic is *vital* to something I'll be doing later...)

Of course, that's only if I ever complete my fifth story which has pretty much ground to a halt and I absolutely can not get it moving again. I have a basic premise, but I don't know what to DO with it. If anyone here would like to advise me, ask me to send you a copy of the story and if I use your idea you'll get full credit as a co-author.

Heather> Good luck with the move to Georgia, and I hope you can still get to the Gathering! :D

Pokemon> Eh, I don't much care for Pikachu...But I do like Paras. ^_^ The mushrooms on its back look kinda silly though...

Jewel> OH FOR PETE'S SAKE STOP TEASING US! :P

Joey> Welcome back! :D

**RESUME RP!**

[The Avatar of Ganon is just arriving at the research station, and the Administrator is preparing to board a shuttle...Khesaat: "Administrator? I just recieved word of an unauthorized entry into the cell block where we're holding Dr. Sevarius." Admin.: "Hm...Set several guard and assassin droids around that area. It may be a rescue attempt by the enemy. We don't want them recovering him; kill him if it becomes necessary, but only as an extreme last resort."]

Oh, almost forgot. The link to my name is for the latest scan of one of my other hobbies: counted cross-stitch. That piece represents about 4 months worth of work so far. This is time squeezed out from the moments when I'm not doing everything else. One of these days I'll get brave and try charting a piece on my own. Maybe a gargs design :).

Todd> Darn it! Now I'm going to have to go back and look Ploys over again. I found that reference about a month ago when I was proofing the story, but now I've forgotten it.

Robby> Owen Pokemon?!? ROTFL literally. The computer sits on the living room floor and I fell over sideways laughing when I saw that.

Heather> Georgia?!? What part? And, are you going to try to attend the Gathering since you'll now be quite a bit farther away?

Ah well, I'm off to work on proofing yet another ep. Lots of neat stuff and I can't say anything about it (frustration), and I'll probably have forgotten all my comments by the time it airs (sigh). Ah, but at least I have the consolation of grinning at everyones speculations.

****WARNING RP COMING UP!!!******
Inside the Avatar....

Dr. Sevarius sits alone in his cell, his face in his hands. "How....how can my son turn on me?" he mumbles to himself. "Can't he see, I'm only trying to make the world a better place...by eliminating all those who are genetically inferior..."
Suddenly, the doctor is distracted by a soft knock on his cell door. "Sevarius?" a voice on the other side calls out.
Anton moved towards the door cautiously. "Who is it? What do you want?"
"I am a representative of someone who would very much like to be a friend of yours...As you may or may not know, some of the heroes will be leaving for Earth shortly. Be ready, for as soon as they depart, I will liberate you. Do you understand?"
He was still confused, but Anton gave an affirmative. "Yes. But who are you? Why are you doing this?"
"All in due time, Sevarius. I will come for you shortly." And with that, the voice was gone....
***PAUSE RP****

BUFFY Non-Spoilers: Caught the rerun episode with Spike again tonight. I love this episode! Spike has got to be, hands down, my fave Buffy villain. And BTW, does anyone else here think he'd be a perfect Cassidy if the "Preacher" crew were just a tad bit younger?

Weird News-bit about Sci-Fi becoming Sci-Reality: I just caught a clip tonight on the CBS Evening News about this scientist who is developing a fingerprint technology system that can be installed in guns, so that only that only the individual who owns the gun can fire it (the fingerprint system only recognizes their prints, and if someone else tries to use it, the gun won't fire). Is this total Judge Dredd or what? Kinda cool, in my opinion, although it sorta takes all the fun outta gunrunning.

Argent: Raven has always been a favorite of mine. I was pretty upset that he was so villified in the series too, because in most Native American myths, while a trickster, he was generally a benevolent god. He was the creator, for goodness sakes! I've got a great fic idea to go along with exactly why he was in such a bad mood in Heritage though...

My Dumlao Prank: I haven't heard him get upset yet. Besides, if he did read it, he knew it was just a silly little joke that meant no harm. I got nuthin' but love for the man!

Demona: Write that Pokemon Crossover!!
I don't know....I feel like a total childish idiot for loving that series....and it didn't help my ego to learn it was the number one show--among SIX to ELEVEN year olds. *Sigh* Like I said, I'm just a whore for Japanese animation. If some Japanese guy drew it, I'll probably like it, regardless. But Pikachu is an awwwwwwful cute little...um...mouse-like thing....what IS a Pikachu, anyway?
Oh, and BTW, for all you Pokemon fans, I understand AnotherUniverse.com is selling Pokemon keychains. I'm holding out till the talking Pikachu doll hits the stores.

Demona, again: An all girl's clan? My, what a sexist idea! ;-) A whole clan full of female gargoyles.....raging teenage hormones, don't fail me now!! 8-]

Deuce: I loved that episode with the subtitles! Finally, we get to see what those Pokemon are thinking! Oh, and I personally am fond of the "Ghost" pokemon. And Pikachu, of course.

**COMMENTS ON NEW TGS EPISODE**

This was an enjoyable episode although very short. I do love the Merlin/Corbie relationship although I do wonder how she would react if she found out the truth about him. How would she feel if she knew she was in a relationship with an immortal wizard of legend?

I think that Merlin is letting Arthur and the gang get away with a lot, treating him like a kid sometimes even though he is older than all of them. If it was me, I would be in a very bad mood a lot of the time. Who does Arthur think he is telling MERLIN what to do? If I was Merlin, then I would pin Arthur to the wall with a burst of anger induced magic, and while he is being held up against the walls a few feet from the ground, I would turn to him and say "Who the hell do you think you are to lecture ME boy? I'm not a child and I'm not your son either. I was here before you and I'll be here long after you. Don't forget that." Then I would turn around and leave and a second later Arthur would land on the floor.

This was also a short episode and while I do understand that there are a variety of reasons for this, I do have to say that I was disappointed not to have seen some of the characters that PENDRAGON SEASON 2 have seemed to develop. I love the Manhattan clan and what TGS is doing with them, but I also have to say that PENDRAGON this season has made leaps and bounds over it's first season. I would like to see more development of the Griff/Brianna relationship. What is her reaction to the London clan? What is their reaction to her? How does she feel about living in a city now? What about being surrounded by millions of humans after being told for years that she has to hide herself from them? I would also like to see Caspian and Rosalind. I just loved that small bit of MY FAIR LADY. Also it would be nice to see more of Caspian and Lucy in general. It's not so much Arthur that interests me in this series as it is the cast that he has around him. And I would love to see more of this cast. (On the other hand don't get me wrong, I want the staff to continue to crank out Manhattan clan stories. I just feel that the staff has created a bunch of interesting characters in PENDRAGON that seem to have been neglected as of late.)

$ Small RP Note- The Doppelgangers are humans with shapeshifting powers akin to those of Proteus. Wilek, Fleur, Jaden, etc, may need to know that if they want to use them in their RPs. $

Robby: There is a song Doug and I are looking for he just reminded me about. Can you try to find a song called "Last Wish" by the band of the same name? It was a small-time band, you probably won't have much luck. But if you get time, please try. Thank you.

**RP HERE**

The screen comes on, with the ominous deathmobile theme from Rescuers Down Under playing again. The bad guys' convoy is just arriving in Colorado Springs. "Okay, boys!" T'angelo yells as they stop. "Ten of the doppels, four of the gang members, eight of the soldiers, and the Bishop's little trainee are with me. We'll take a few of the cars up to NORAD and secure the base. The rest of you guys surround Cheyenne Mountain, secure the area. Bruce, you're in charge." The other bad guys nod and they begin carrying out T'angelo's orders.

The screen changes to a mall parking lot in Colorado Springs with the Onslaught parked across several spaces. The Ravens are inside watching for trouble and getting their gear ready. Doug, Kitainia, Janice, Fleur, Jaden, Orion, and Lathrop get out and head for the restaurant just across the parking lot, which happens to be the Red Robin. As they walk over, Kitainia turns to make a post.

**PAUSE RP**

Hey everyone! I'm BACK.... Sorry, couldn't resist. Well, my spring break's over now, it went okay. Hope it was the same with everyone else's. Now on to some replies.

Coyote: Thanks for sending me the screenplay. Unfortunately our computer's word program can't read it. But I put the document on disk and will read it in the UT library tomorrow. Their computers should have a program that will let me view it there. <fingers crossed>

"Alex Wonder:" Glad to see you here, and know you're doing alright. Hope your situation is resolved soon. Until that time and beyond, you have our continued friendship and support. I also hope we'll see you again soon. :)

Christine: Post Dark Beauty!! Please? I really want to read it, and find out more about Angela's evil clone! Oh wait, you're posting it tomorrow. Thanks. <grin>

Lady Mystic: Good to see you in here, too. Hope to soon see you more often.

Batman Beyond ep: I liked this week's episode too. The end line was especially good. <chuckle>

**WARNING, NEW EPISODE SPOILERS AHEAD**

Good job on "Ploys," TGS Staff. I liked all the character development, especially that done on Corbie and Emrys (I too wonder what the deal is with her). The romance was also nice. Other than that, what I had to say has already been said. :)

**SPOILERS OVER NOW**

Army of Darkness: Its prequels were Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2. Both were not as great as AoD, but still kinda good movies.

Todd: I'm not tired of the competition. But then, I guess I'm biased, being an occasional part of it and all.

Traveler: Like Doug said, thanks for posting. Keep up the good RP work!

JEB: Could you please post the link to your AD&D stuff again? I seem to have misplaced it. :(

DumlaoX: Thanks for not getting really angry about our chat the other night. $ Welcome back to the RP, too. <smile> $

Robby: It's okay, thanks for trying just the same. I'll let you know if we have any more music we're looking for. :) I also liked your Owen Pokemon creativity demon.

SJ: Yes, SJ, you are allowed to screw up now and again. But in Asil's case, you REALLY screwed up. :)

Demona Taina: Interesting clan. Too bad I don't have the time to join in. Oh well.

Fleur: You need RP advice? Hmm. First off, what sort of RP game are they playing? Different tips for different games, ya know? Basic tips I can give are as follows-
1. Don't piss anyone off, especially not the GamesMaster.
2. Try for high scores on stats (or low scores if that's what counts more).
3. Don't try to memorize all the rules, just get the basics. The more experienced players and the GM will usually help with the rest.
4. Use common sense when you play, it will help your character survive. Except of course if you roll up a character who's not supposed to have any common sense, and then you'll have to do some serious role-playing. :)
5. Can't say more until I know what kind of game it is. Good luck.

Guess that's all I have to say for now. Later!

**MORE RP**

The group walks into the restaurant and are escorted to their table. "Okay," Doug says, checking his watch. "Wilek and Miriam should be here any time." On cue, Wilek, Miriam, and their party walk in and sit down. "Hi, guys," Kitainia smiles at the group. "Good to see you." "Thanks for coming," says Doug. "This restaurant has great food. You have to try their seasoning." "Okay," Wilek says. "We will. But first, about the NORAD attack..." They begin discussing defense plans.

Meanwhile, at NORAD, several soldiers are watching the base's last group of tourists as they walk through the metal detector before entering the base. All of a sudden one of T'angelo's gang members walks through and the monitor starts beeping. "Sir," a soldier says, "can you come here for a patdown, please? We need to see what you're packing." T'angelo draws a pistol and points it at the soldier, so do all the other guys in his group. "Now you know what he's packing, pal! Hands up!!" The soldiers go for their guns but are quickly shot down. One hits the alarm, but then one of Kharsus's doppelgangers grabs the radio and, using the soldier's voice, cancels the alert. "Okay," T'angelo says to the others. "Split into pairs, secure the base, kill all the soldiers and personnel you come across, don't touch anything. We'll meet in the main control room in half an hour. Jerry, you and a doppel stay here and guard the base entrance. Use your radio to call Nipon and have him begin his phase of the operation. Then call Thailog, tell him what's up. Alpha Doppel, you're with me, we're going after the base commander. Let's move, move, move!!" The bad guys begin doing so, continuing their takeover of NORAD as the screen goes blank. Uh oh.

**FOR NOW, END RP**

Deuce- Something about a slight typo you made that really starts the Creativity Demons...

The clan having their owen Pokemon... Capitalize that typo and you have Owen Pokemon... Start considering the fact that he's Puck and that in the original drafts he was going to be an ardvaark...

As far as the Pokemon being telepathic, thats a given! Some of them even develop that ability as their main trait! My fave Mewtwo immediatley comes to mind... And that funky looking Psyduck...

Yugh... my Social class went to the museum today. Was that EVER boring. Almost as bad as the Museum of Natural History in Vancouver. Good news: the Vancouver museum is on a mountain, the base of which has a "clothing optional" beach, complete with stairs down the length of the mountain. Bad news: no one is at nude beaches in May. :-P

Heather> Georgia? Coolies! Good luck on the move!

My ears> Y'all are mocking me! No fair! "Don't hate me because my ears are beautiful!" *falls over laughing at how ridiculous he sounds*

SOROW> The clan having their owen Pokémon? Hmm... in the RP I'm currently writing for release next week, I have my own Pokémon... she's useful.

***RANDOM "POKÉMON" THOUGHT!***

OK, all that the little dudes ('cept Ghastly and Meowth) can say is their own name, right? That's a given. And another given is that body language and tone of voice carry most of our meaning. Therefore, is it too far off the mark to assume that all Pokémon are mildly telepathic? Think about it: they, like humans, communicate mostly through body language and tone, and their mental powers are only strong enough to communicate actual meaning. After all, we know they speak complete sentences; ever see that one where they got seperated from Ash, and all their Poké-speak was subtitled? That was so cute!

Input, people! Is this a valid theory?

Hi All,

Alex Wonder> *Fleur bounces around, screaming joyfully for a few minutes, then composes herself.* I think that says it all. :) You've been missed, friend, and we're hoping and waiting for your more permanant return.

Christine> Post it. That's what I always do. ('Cos I'm mean and nasty and cruel. >:) )

ALL YOU CRAZIES WHO TURNED THE CR INTO A CHAT ROOM> I am soooo annoyed I missed that!! Man, rereading the CR has never been so much fun!! (I was ROTFLMAO at SJ's prank, but please don't kill me for saying that, Dumlao and Fire Storm!)

Deuce> perfect ears, huh? I've always thought my left elbow was pretty spectacular, myself. :P j/k

Aaron> I'm kinda a fan - I liked the show, but(*GGRRRR*) it got taken off air 'bout half way thru the series.

Mandi> >has there been a "This Kiss" filk done yet?< I gargified that song once when it came on the radio. Got every word perfect... and within ten minutes of the song ending, I forgot the lot. :( Unfortunately, that happens a lot when you have a memory like a sieve. :)

Dumlao> I read the report, and I thought it was very well written. However, there's something about it that scares me - how the he$$ did you know I used to have the nickname Flora?!? *hums the Twilight zone theme*

Ariana> Nought? Oooohh, I forgot about him. *A CD drops from the rafters and latches onto Fleur. She tries to dislodge it for a few minutes, then sighs and gives up.* Well, if he pops up one of my fics, you'll all know where he got started. :)

Demona Tania> Clan of female gargs? Kewl. Just curious - Is this for RP characters only, or can fanfic chars join in too?

Question> I joined a Role Play club during O week, and now that I'm finally well enough to go to attend a meeting, I need to know what to expect. This CR is the only place I've ever participated in an RP before, and I have no idea what they're like in a RL sense. Would one of the brilliant, talented experts mind giving a lowly novice a few pointers? (shameless sucking up - works for me ;) )

$Sorry, no RP, gotta dash to class.$ - But I will leave a quote that I feel sums up everyone here. :)

"Sanity is for the unimaginative"

I'm actually very glad that the ep was so short cause it didn't take me too long to catch up in here. Sorry I haven't posted sooner, but I have Regional Dance Competition in Arlington on Friday and drill team officer tryouts in two weeks. So watch out, I might fall apart when the stress breaks through.

Traveler> My dad installed Windows 95. I kept telling him that the program was ancient and that he should just install a newer one, but he's really stubborn. And drill team camp is when the new team goes away to some university and begins bonding and working together for the upcoming football season.

SJ> I think I'm going to add "A Tale of Two Cities" to my fav books list. I cried so hard at the end cause Sydney Carton is very much like Jesus Christ, and I'm very religious.

Argent> I just started watching Pokemon only about a month ago, and I think it's really cool. Why can't the clan have some Pokemon of their own. Ya know, some new playmate for Bronx(ha ha)!

NAUGHT - Well, it's a manner of personal opinion, but I still have the suspicion that Greg's calling him that was really a deliberately evasive answer, sort of like how he answered the question "What did Demona do in World War II?" with "A lot of stuff."

Something that I forgot to mention yesterday. In "Ploys" there's a little deliberate echo of a line in "Batman: TAS". Ten points to anybody who can find that line.

Wilek- FF7? Very PRETTY game... And pretty dang good as RPG's go. But not as good as part three. Of course, you're bringing up that RPG makes me wish I had a Shitendo 64 so I could play Zelda... Played that for half and hour and fell in love...

Also, I would tell you if TGS has plans for Naught or not so you could go ahead, but I'd get in trouble. My suggestion, go ahead and do it. Then even if we do/when we do you have the excuse you wrote the story beforehand, and that your version is just as valid as any other. As far as if thats his name or not, Greg has used it repeatedly, so even if it isn't his true name, it counts until Greg clarifies.

Geez, thats a pretty dang big ship... And its named Goliath... DOES make you think... (Sheesh, it's dwarfing Enterprise sized vessels, and those things are huge!) But you know, it looks an awful lot like the SDF ships from Robotech...

Argent- A pokeman movie titled "Mewtwo strikes back"? Cool! Mewtwo is my favorite Pokemon by far! And as far as the Ender's game movie, its gonna suck compared to the book. It may be a fine movie in its own right, but its gonna suck compared to the book, considering the book is one of the best ever written, IMO.

Demona Taina- Why are the female artist named Demona always so insane over the series? (I'm of course refferring to Demona May... Oii...)

The TGS chatroom addy can be found in last weeks CR, Dumlao dropped it off someplace. Go search for it, (I would myself but I'm busy at the moment) so far its been useless since no one manages to get on at the same time...

Hello!

Okay, this is another little song. (Me and my songs!) It's about Elisa talking to Goliath about their love. I had it complete, but I just forgot. Anyway, here's one filk I DO remember:

***With A Romantic Mood***
You are just inventing things, beloved
You know I love you above all
Not even death can tear us appart
Because I love you no matter what
***End With A Romantic Mood***

TGS Chatroom: Where? Where? [voice echoing, looking around frantically] WHERE!?! I DON'T SEE A LINK AROUND SOMEWHERE!!! LINK PLEASE!!!

Pokemon Fans: I am writing a crossover with Gargoyles and Pokemon. (I'm a fan of both.) Wanna know something about it? Okay. Elisa dies in a Pokemon battle. (Burned to ashes.) Goliath is so angry and hurt that he becomes a Pokemon Trainer to kill them all. (Gotta kill 'em all! Gotta kill 'em all!!!) So, he was so strong and smart that he became even powerful and stronger than ANY Pokemon master, so strong that he was named "The Supreme Master". (Dull?) So, he was still hurting inside, and he was always depressed. (If you battle with the supreme master, and you have the luck to beat his Pokemon, you have to beat Goliath himself, something NO MASTER could do.) Ash and the others entered his gym, and there was a battle with Pikachu and Goliath's Pokemon. (Any suggestions for names?) Anyway, Pikachu got to beat Goliath's Pokemon with electricity. Then Ash had to beat Goliath, but Goliath saw that he was so small and thin that he felt pity for Ash, and he told him that if he could AT LEAST knock him unconscious he'll be his second, but Pikachu doesn't trust him...

What do you think? I made it up one day in the bathroom. (Gosh, I love that shower!) I think them up at night and I write them up at day. If you happen to read my first stories, (man, did they suck!), then don't even think that I still write like that. I am rather surprised that the story is turning out so well. Very poetic. I'll see if one day I'll post a fic bit, no wait, I'll keep you in suspense... hehe...

I think that's all... oh, wait, a joke! No, no jokes today. I'm out of ideas for now. [grins, clicks the submit button]

Hey all! Sorry to be so long in getting back, but I have sort of limited 'net access.

Anyway, greets to all the GD/Gargs fans, and to anyone interested in American Gothic, the Sci-fi channel is showing it sundays at 2:00 e.s.t., with *all* the eps in order(More then CBS bothered to do)

For anyone unfarmiliar with the show all I can say is it's dark but cool, and one of the creators is Sam "Evil Dead" Rami. Bruce Campbell even makes a guest appearance in one episode.

Re: Ash's lines in video games. Duke may do a little, but Caleb from Monolith's Blood franchise has him beat hands down on Ash-speak. From the beginning of the game's "I live again!" (Bad Ash) to when Technobog is finished off: "Good. Bad. I'm the guy with the gun."

The rest of the game is also full of other ED/AD in-jokes, from killer hands to a magic mirror that creates minature, evil Calebs.

Though I'm begining to wonder what happened between her and the other-dimensional Clan Manhattan in that week...knowing her, I can just hear her yelling soon after "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T HAVE A COUNTERSPELL?! I'M SUPPOSED TO LEAD A FRONT AGAINST THE SHMEGGIN' SHOCKERS AT OH-TWO-HUNDRED!!!"

*The Soothsayer pokes Cyrway.*

Heh...Sooth wants to remind you about the Mates of Brooklyn rule...I tell him it only exists in the Notebook multiverse, but does he listen? Going through the list for WCC, I couldn't help but to think what would happen with Arin and Sata...

ROKKAN COMMANDER: =We're being boarded!=
DEMONA: By what?! *pulls out a devestator and, with the commander, storms out to the lower decks of the mothership...suddenly, they are tackled by...*
TINKY WINKY: Lo lo!

And thus is how the Teletubbies save the day...*smacks Sooth.*

Seriously, though...as soon as I get a new scanner (mine crapped the bed), I've got to get the sketches I worked on...

Though I really don't think anyone wants to meet Chaos, Nox's old man...just did a sketch of him...anyone want to know where Cal and the rest of them get the beak...*shivers.*

Now that I'm totally hyper, I'll go back to work, talking Teletubbie-ese to my co-worker, whose 2-year-old son watches them religiously...

Fire Storm > Just so happens I am a Bruce Campbell fan. Army of darkness was actually the third movie in a series. The first was evil dead, The second was Evil dead 2. Evil dead 2 is the better of the two movies(much funnery than the fist). Now here is something weird if you want all you have to do is rent the second movie. The first 15 minutes of Evil dead 2 rehashes the first movie.

AND NOW 2 weeks and some odd days till my Cook out yessss. Suddenly Goofy bust into the CR and begins to sing Ironwolf jumps up on the stage with him”Sweet potatoer pie we’re gonna eat and eat and eat and eat and eat till we die” jumping down form the stage Ironwolf lets Goofy finish the song and dance number. Sorry guys just could not help it. Hey here is a weird thought mabey I should log on to the chat room during the party hmmm
MEAT he he lets just say I will be eating a lot sooooon, but Sevarius Jr. you are right about meat being good for you. A friend is on a no bread diet but the doctor said to actulally eat meat, but don’t forget iron(you skiped this in your praise of glorious MEAT). meat has a ton of it.
Now riddle me this why are women(who need more iron than guys) more likely to be veggies?

PENDRAGON GETTING THE SHORT END OF THE STICK - A lot of this is probably due to:

a) It's the only cycle at present that doesn't involve the Manhattan clan or any of the central characters from the series, just peripheral ones such as Arthur, Griff, and Rory, so that makes it less popular among the TGS staff.

b) The bad start that "Pendragon" got off to in the first season, focusing almost exclusively on Malory retellings, as if it was the Internet equivalent to Howard Pyle or Roger Lancelyn Green.

c) The fact that there are only a few staff members for TGS who know much about King Arthur.

NOUGHT - Actually, I think that Greg Weisman was being evasive when he gave this name to the fay in question (the one in the trenchcoat in Oberon's throne room in "The Gathering Part One"); "Nought" is an old-fashioned word for "nothing", and maybe Greg didn't feel like revealing the fay's name just then. In other words, "Nought" may not be its actual name.

[A very nervous Guod is at the door of Thailog's audience chamber. Thailog: "Come in, Guod, and sit down." Guod: "Um...what did you wish to see me about?" Thailog: "*This*." Thailog shows him the tape. Guod: "What...?!" Thailog: "Care to explain why you took control of Area 51?" Guod: "I...I didn't! Those aren't my Borg! Believe me, if I had anything like Borg *raptors* in my arsenal, I think I would have used them long ago! Certainly you'd be the first to know about them! That had to be staged!" Thailog: "And yet this log is genuine; it hasn't been altered or tampered with." Guod: "I...I think I know what may have happened...but I can't see how..." Thailog: "Well?" Guod: "Those can't be my Borg, and I don't have the only collective on Earth." Thailog: "You mean the Dark Star? Impossible; not only was it destroyed, but they couldn't have gotten operatives into the base without our knowledge." Guod: "You've underestimated them before; often with catastrophic results. Nereus may be something of a geek, but he's a clever one, and he has some equally clever associates." Thailog: "Hm. In any case, you're on probation until we solve this.

*****WARNING: RP COMING UP!!!*****
Back at enemy headquarters, Phalanx Prime, the mysterious Phalanx commander who recently joined forces with Thailog, is communicating with the rest of the Phalanx collective.
<<So, our....operative...has informed us that Wilek and his pathetic band of resistance fighters are planning an assault?>>

****PAUSE RP!!******

Well, first off, I'M BACK!!!!!!!! Finally returned from my little Spring Break trip.....of course, that meant college began again *sigh*
So anyway, I got a lot to talk about, and some of it has to do with stuff mentioned last week, so I'm playing catch up.

St. Patrick's Day: Hope everyone wore green and kicked a leprechaun! (That's a little known fact, BTW. On St. Pattie's Day, you're allowed to beat the crap out of a leprechaun just for the hell of it. Begorah!)

Chat Room: This is a GREAT idea. Now, if only we could everyone to actually visit the dern thing at the SAME time...

Kitiana: Oh my....I see you still remember Asil's creation....and my crush......well, you _are_ an attractive half-garg :) I still don't know what went wrong with Asil though. Too long in the "soup", I guess. Oh well, I'm an occasionally mad scientist. We're allowed to screw up every now and again ;)

Politics: Personally, I think they're both pretty screwed up. Republicans don't do enough, Democrats do too much. Republicans are too funny about the economy, the Democrats want too big a government. And don't get me started at the hypocrisy and utter nonsense both of them exhibited during the Monica scandal / impeachment. My gut feeling is to say, F*** 'em all!!!
Still, I'd say most of my beliefs do tend to be more conservative. Well, like I said, the Republicans are supposed to be the "evil" party, right? ;)

Crow TV series: Damn good show. I was extrememly worried that it would suck, since I'm a big fan of the comic series (BTW, for all you Crow fans, a new series has just started, published by Image Comics. Peachy keen!) and I legitimately nearly bawled my eyes out when a hero of mine, Brandon Lee, died during the filming of the picture. I see "The Crow" as his crowning achievement, and it is a wonderful, beautiful film, despite the dark mood and gratutious violence.
Still, the show doesn't really disappoint. Obviously, they can't have Draven (played convincingly enough by Marc Dacascos) go around killing somebody each week and still make it past the censors. The supporting cast is getting to be good (I especially like Albrecht), and I definitely like the addition of the "Anti-Crows", the Snakes (I've long toyed with the idea of having an Anti-Crow after I saw Crow 2....crappy movie, but a pretty decent villain). The show's not perfect, but it's getting better each week. My only real complaint? Top Dollar and his gang were total bad-asses in the film, now there the sorriest bunch of wannabe losers I've ever seen. Why the hell does Tin Tin have an afro???

Oscars: In case you've forgotten, GWYNETH PALTROW IS THE BEST ACTRESS IN THE WORLD!!!! She is my goddess....

The True Origin of Bigglesworth: Umm.....I have no idea what you're talking about.....a cat indeed. Humph.

Alex Wonder: Well good to see you, "stranger". I miss you just as much as everyone else....not as much as Coyote mind you, but a LOT. The celebration for when you return (and you will, I know it!) is gonna be HUGE. Until then, the candle's are still burnin', and every light in the house is on.

Zath: 4 words, my friend--Bruce Campbell is God. The word "cool" was created just to describe him.
Yes, the morons--um, I mean the creators--of Duke Nukem BLATANTLY ripped off all of Ash's dialogue for that game, which tics me off, cause those who haven't seen the film won't realize what an injustice that is....
Fire Storm: I will not permit trashing of A of D, even in jest! ;-) And for your info, AoD is the 3rd film in the Evil Dead trilogy. The first two are also awesome, with the first being an incredibly violent and dark straight-up horror film, and the second being more of a blend of gut-wrenching gore and comedy. I particularly loved the scene where Ash's dismembered hand gives him the ol' "New York Salute" before he takes a potshot at it with his shotgun.

SOROW: Yeah, Sydney Carton is one of my favorite characters in all of literature. He's such a tragic character, how can you not sympathize with him?

Traveler: Dern right I agree about the fey. I don't take kindly to any mightier-than-though being messin' with OUR world (we humans and gargs are in it together). If you're down with the first 2 races, alright, but if you wanna act like spoiled brats, bringing your centuries old war to my backyard.....well, don't be surprised if we "mortals" don't open a can of whoop-ass on you. I gotta iron boot waiting to part your royal cheeks, Oberon.

Vegetarians and Meat: I actually wrote an essay on this a couple of weeks ago for my *very* strange English class. Believe it or not, I'm gonna refute all those stupid diet consultants: MEAT IS GOOD FOR YOU. I had to study this, research this project. Meat eaters (those who have at least some meat in there diet) are by far healthier than vegetarians (of course, that may not be the case if your idea of meat is a Double Whopper with Cheese). Meat possesses nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that do not exist readily in vegetables, even the "hardy" plants such as beans or lentils. Monkeys, long believed to be our distant evolutionary predecessors, eat fruit, yes--but they actually eat the part of the fruit that contains worms and insects. In other words: MEAT IS GOOD FOR YOU. EAT MORE MEAT. BEEF--IT'S WHAT'S FOR DINNER.

Entertainment news: Couple of quick tidbits--

Orson Scott Card fans: It looks like "Ender's Game" is moving ahead as a feature film property, with folks already trying to sign up Jake Lloyd, who plays the young Darth Vader in the new Star Wars flick, for the title role.

Some of you may remember I talked a while back about a CGI Starship Troopers show (a la "Beast Wars" or "War Planets"). Well, some principal casting has begun, and I'm happy to say that Clancy Brown, in a real cool move, will reprise his movie role as tough-as-nails drill seargant/Space Marine Zim.

Man, after last night's little playground in here I'm too tired to read any of the posts. I'll read them all tomorrow when I have more time, but right now I'm still doing my freakin' chemistry!(death to chemistry) I haven't read the ep yet cause I'm not too crazy for Pendragon. So I'll do it tomorrow. But it did finish "A Tale of Two Cities" and I'll just say-Sydney Carton , you're da man! First book I actually cried at the end. I hope everyone had a relaxing spring break, and it's off to bed with me. Screw chemistry! OKIloveyoubyebye!

Christine: Post both together! Make us wait! <Knowing your writing, it will be worth the wait.>
(Loved the teaser on AvMists, BTW)
Just read that you are going to post half Wendsday...
YOU ARE CRUEL! It is pure TORTURE...
I like it!

Army of Darkness: Is it just me, or was Ash the character that they based Duke Nukem on? I mean, just listen to what he said:
"Come get some" CLASSIC Duke Nukem
"Shake it Baby" (I think)
Personally, The Company and I feel that this movie was SO bad that it just HAD to be watched. It was SO *VERY* bad, I checked the TV guide to see when it was on so I could see it <*>AGAIN<*> (So I could see how bad it was from the begining)
AND THAT CHAINSAW ARM! Come on!
(Was this a sequel? If so, what was the first one? I want to rent it... HELP ME!)

TGS Chat Room: The refresh option is ok, but the text and the whole page setup just seems too wierd for me.
Gorebash's method for the CR's is GREAT!

Nought? Who the "H-E-Double Hockey Sticks" is Nought?
(From Gargoyles or where ever it origionates from.)

Nought: He did have a small background role in my fic "Choices." Where did you think Agony got his fashion sense?

Wilek: $ Small note. Do whatever you like with the Guod-Thailog meeting, you'll probably get to it before Kitainia does (and you started this thread, so you have rights). Just please don't kill the guy, Kitainia and I still have a lot of plans for him and his Borg.$

Later.

**Kyryn walks into the room, points at Dis Connect and incinerates him on the spot. "That's for several days of no access last week!"**

**warning mini-rant ahead**

I'm back. I hope that all of y'all who had spring break had a better one than I did. First I had the hailstorm/tornado. Then my brother wigged out from sleep deprivation. Taking care of that and getting him back to LA took up Monday thru Friday. Along the way, Okami's system went on the fritz and I didn't have access for several days. Then I ended up shelling out a chunk of money to fix the car when the EGR valve decided to die on the road this morning.

**end mini-rant**

(Looking up.) Sorry all, I just had to get that out of my system.

Dumlao> What an eloquent paper! You have addressed the heart of the matter. I just hope that more people listen.

Coyote> New fic> I can't wait for the roller coaster ride that I know will eventually be coming! I feel like I'm at the top of the first hill looking down.


Off topic> Someone mentioned a while back (I think Ed or Matt Dymond) that season 8 of Red Dwarf is being shown in England. Could you confirm this? I'm curious since public television recently showed episodes 1-4 of season 8 here in the US.

Aaron> I'm a Gold Digger fan.

BTW is anyone a fan of an independent comic called Gremlin Trouble?

Alex> Good to know you're still around somewhat.

Demona Taina> The Macarena bit was hilarious!

Later All!

Top ten- Hmm, this has lost a little of its novelty since it stopped being an accidental thing and became a contest,and has gained a whole new element. Especially last week when there were way more than 10 people vying... Usually there's only 4 or 5, and there's only 6 or so posts before the room wipe but last night... Eee... But the fact is, those who participated DID have fun at the time. (Those of you just looking over it now can't understand...) And last night was the exception, I doubt that'll happen again. More likely than not next time Dumlao's more than a few minutes late we'll head on down to an actual chatroom... Or at least I will...

Christine- Despite you not waiting, you aren't HALF as bad as what I'm doing. I've got 20+ fics in backstock and I'm not putting them up until the whole series is done and proofread twice and illustrated... Heh heh...

Traveler- I figured it was your post before you said it was. Heh. Something about the length.

If *I* had a voting program, would I use it for gargs? SImply put, no. I don't like the fact that any are getting used, it deprives the true contest. Ah well..

Band called the Teas Party- Never heard of it.

Deuce- Perfect ears? Okay...

Lack of Pendragon stories- Hey, its a small writing staff. It'll pick up later, I promise. There's other things I'd say as teasers or reassurances or otherwise, but I got in trouble last week just for mentioning Sata is going to have two eggs...

Aaron- Big Gold Digger fan here. But mind you its a small press book with print runs of only about 5,000. As such, not as many people have heard about it as they should, when Gold Digger is easily better than X-Men has been in a long time.

Mandi- The trick got me bad the first time I saw it, in Station 8 a few weeks back. But this time I knew how it worked. Its a nice trick though.

Doctor WHo Movie- It was americanized, and not at all goofy (Which was half the fun) and I still have the tape. But hey, it does put them on Doctor number 8... Only 5 more to go before they need to come up with an excuse other than regeneration. Of course, since the series ended a while back, it may be a while...

Doug and Kitainia- Sorry, but I'm not having any luck finding Demolition Man, even with the artist name... Dangit, this is the part that sucks about being the room DJ... Not being able to find something!

Batman Beyond... Ooh, forgot to talk about last weekend's episode. Possibly since the series ain't a hot topic anymore...

**BATMAN BEYOND SPOILERS**

Last weekends ep was VERY good. The story focused on Terry, Bruce, and Terry's girlfriend. It was a nice story, the hero falling for a villain without knowing she's the villain... A twist on the usual formula. Aside from a small nit where Terry's jacket switched persons, it was their best episode yet. Especially the end line...
"You ever have problems like this?"
"Let me tell you about a woman named Selina Kyle..."

**END BATMAN BEYOND SPOILERS**

Arianna- Of the 300 something odd garg fanfics I've read, none of them featured Naught, because we know NOTHING about him save his name.

*Lady Arianna melts out of the shadows.*
Hi, everyone. (For those who don't know me, I'm usually only over at s8. Now that I have more free time, I think I'll try to come to both CR's)

Well, I'm still trying to recover from last night. I was up late finishing a paper afterwards, so I was basically a caffeine-overloaded zombie all day. But it was rather interesting -- we'll have to do it again sometime. JUST KIDDING! :)

DumlaoX>Glad you weren't too annoyed with us.

Blue Caeru> I love the song. It's so beautiful...now I think I'm going to cry. (my typical reaction to anything.)

Top Ten> It's kind of interesting...it isn't half so competetive over at s8...at least not all the time. I usually don't get here until the room is so long that I really have no idea what's going on. So I generally keep my posting to s8.

Okay, I've been thinking...(I posted this question in the other CR too.)...I remember vaguely (in the "Ask Greg" archives), some Fey whose name was Nought. I also remember that Greg was deliberately vague about him. Two questions....A.) How much do we actually know about this guy? B.)Has anyone written any fanfics that include his character? Just curiosity making an assassination attempt on the cat.

Well, I'm going to go now...I still have to read "Ploys". Later!

***BEGIN RP POST***

Back in his Los Angeles headquarters, DumlaoX hangs up the phone. After taking a deep breath he rumages through his closet and pulls out a suitcase and some clothes. "T-Loco," he calls out. "Do me a favor and load up the car with all the gear."

"Going away on business?" she asks.

"Yeah, you can say that. Looks like Doug & the rest of the Ravens trust me enough for me to be their supplier. So, I need everything we got. Guns, ammo, projectiles, communications, everything. Also, I need a location on where they are now."

T-Loco pulls out a map and a laptop. "Already taken care of."

DumlaoX smiles. "Sweet." He finishes packing and heads out to the car to help T-Loco load up the supplies. "Oh, one other thing," he says.

"Keep communication between you and me open and transports ready in case you need more supplies," she finishes for him.

He simply smiles. "You're too good for me now. Anyway, I'm out of here." As he enters the driver's seat, his sister asks him one last question.

"So," she asks. "Do you think they can really help you out?"

DumlaoX sits and contemplates for a while. "Well, I know they can help me get that virus. As for finding him, we'll see." He starts up the car and immediately has the new Fatboy Slim album blasting in his stereo. "hold the fort, T," he says as he pulls out and heads back to San Francisco.

***END RP***

Hehehehe. Back in the RP game. Now, lesse what kinda fun I can have here :)

REPORT-- By the way, I was doing a report for my Gerontology final. 12 pages on the nursing home situation. If anyone wants to read it and maybe throw their 2 cents in it, hit my name to see the report. Fair warning: it might make you angry. Just be prepared for that fact.

LAST NIGHT'S CHAT-- Hey, the only reasons I'm not mad are becuase I was late and because I know this will not happen again... due to the fact that TGS already has a chat room.

Not much else on this front. Till next time...

Hellow peoples! ^_^

Comment room-.chat room thingy: Sorry if I offended anyone in my participation in it. It was kinda funny last night, with everyone waiting for the new ep. And it just happened. Actually, it was fun.

Actual chat room-> use it. I can't (as I said before, my computer is shuts down when I try to do somehing like that. It's the ECEC I tell you! (Evil Conspiracy of Evil Computers. They're out to control the world by making computer users go crazy. They shut down, block, freeze and gum up any computer that a user is trying to use in an attempt to brain wash you. ;) )

***** New TGS Spoilers and a question*****

This new Episode was pretty fun, but it seems like a mid-day snack while the rest of the episodes we have been getting are a full meal. It seems to be filling in information that we'll need to know for future episodes, that they don't want to include in a real episode. It was a really good snack too. ^_^ Sweet fillings (Emreys and Corbie) with nuts (the possible TV seiries idea. LOL!) crunchy outside (the what happened with Authur and his knights, as well as finding more about Lucius, also the fights that seem to follow Corbie around.) And just a bit of spice (fight scenes and the roller coaster thing.) ^_^ Scrumpciouse! (Sp?!)

Sorry... I seem to be a little hungrey...

Anyhow, I do have a quetion about something I've noticed/rembered, thats bugging me slightly. Nothing big, but I'd still love to know.
As ya'll are showing the fey (sorry, can't spell the two court names right now w/out slaughtering 'em) and their relationship to iron.
First of all, Goliath, Elisa, and Angela know very well the "children's" weakness. How come they don't make use of it more? Same for Brooklyn. Well, he has an excuse, with the timedancing thing and all, but Goliath and them? They know! Actually, doesn't all of the clan know?
Also, I remember that when the group on Avalon went up against Oberon, and they used the iron bell against him, Titania and the wierd sisters where standing right there. How come, if all fey are effected by the sound of iron, those four didn't double over in pain and wither and all that? Oberon was the only one who reacted like that.
Also, both Puck and the Wierd Sisters where bound at one point or another with iron chains. I know with Puck the iron came into direct contact with his skin, but it didn't burn him. I seem to rember there being a case of one of the fey or haflings touching iron and getting burned by it. Now, if it was a hafling, the it would be understandable that the haflings might be more sensitive to the weaknesses of the fey (especially when they aren't naturaly haflings, but the geneticly engineered types). BUt if it was a Seelie or Unseelie (sp?) why would this happen?
Could it be that iron can affect the third race in different ways? Seems unlikley, but I'd love to hear some ideas. ^_^
Anyhow, enough with the loooong questions.
onto

*****End TGS SPOILERS, BEGIN BATMAN BEYOND SPOILERS*****
I was surprised by this episode! The villians they used where never in the original animated seiries, but I do rember them from the comics. I am impressed! I really like BMB anyhow, but this just impressed me. Also, it was great to see the relationship between Wayne and Terry develope, and it did make me wonder what ever happened to Catwoman?

But she liked it to so I'm very glad. :) My second fic will be very interesting as well. A sweet love story called "Memories". :) Hope you'll like that one too!

Traveler:

Yes, I HAVE heard of the Tea Party. Not a fan myself, though. My CD collection is a bizarre mix of East Coast, metal, and Disney soundtracks, with a large side of country and some dance thrown in.

RE: Luther: Well of course I'm writing the fic. :-) It's called ICONOCLASM. Luth was supposed to be a minor character in a far-future fic
(ie, set in 2201 or so) but...after three page digression involving Luther ranting at rightwing fundamentalists...I found the character rather endearing. (Ok, so she showed up in my head with a duffel bag asking for a place to stay) I'll keep you posted but in the meantime, here's Luther's bio...

Traveler: Thanks for posting. <grin> I'll say more to you (including my RP reactions to what you did) in the message below. BUT FIRST...

**RP HERE**

Somewhere in the Wyoming wilderness, a huge doorway opens in the side of a mountain. The death-mobile's theme from Rescuers Down Under plays loudly as T'angelo's huge convoy begins coming out of the doorway, exiting the underground highway and heading south to NORAD.

The screen changes to the Fairmont Hotel, where Doug and the others have just finished getting a review of Traveler's interrogation from Janice and Shap. "So we didn't really learn what the deal is with him, huh?" asks Kitainia. Janice shakes her head. "No. He refused to answer a lot of my questions, he threatened me, and then he escaped before I could get down to the most important ones. I'm still not even sure if he's on our side." "He might be," says Doug. "He did help us with the Masked Lich and the circus." "But he was letting Marsh finance Thailog," says Stephanie. "Doesn't that make him a silent partner?" "He did it for his own reasons, Steph," Keith points out. "Like he explained to Janice and Shap." "Look, Traveler's motivations don't matter right now," Doug says. "What matters is NORAD. Didn't he say something about Thailog's attack on that base, Janice?" The liasion nods. "He said that when Thailog's troops arrived, they would find only a robot security force waiting for them, and a little surprise. I find it highly unlikely that Traveler is making an accurate prediction. NORAD is an extremely vital government defense facility, it has to be staffed by humans 24-7. It can not be evacuated unless the base comes under serious biological or chemical contamination, it has enough defenses to repel any other attack." "Plus," Tom adds, "the last public tour of NORAD is this week, won't they want to stay around and handle that?" "Yes," says Doug. "That tour could even be Thailog's attack opportunity. Jaden, you were with Traveler. Do you have any idea what he's got planned?" "Not really," Jaden sighs. "I just we put a couple packages there, marked for Thailog and Zale. Traveler said something about them being thermonuclear weapons." "WHAT?" Kitainia suddenly panicks. "Let me guess, it's the old open the bag and boom trick! Did he even consider how much the United States needs NORAD? And what about the people in Colorado Springs? Thailog's attack will probably kill a few thousand of them, Traveler's plan could take out them all!" "Obviously he didn't think things through," Doug sighs. "We have to get to NORAD now, to stop Thailog AND Traveler. Oh boy." "Right," nods Kitainia. "Let's load the Onslaught." They grab their bags and begin doing so while Doug walks to the hotel's front desk. Once there, while going through the checkout procedures he turns to make a CR post.

**PAUSE RP**

Well, spring break is over now. It was too damn short. Oh well, back to the grind. I turned in one of my papers today, later this week I'll turn in the other two. Hope the semester goes good from here. So far it's been hell and I know things can get worse before they get better. Sigh, if I can avoid it I will never schedule so many essay-oriented courses again. :(

Glad the sick people are getting better. Welcome to all newcomers too.

Dumlao: $ You got it. Also, like Kitainia said, anytime you want to feel free to drop in. I know that unlike Traveler, you are completely on our side. $ Oh, like Theresa said, thanks for putting up with our earlier madness. :)

Coyote: Great job on "Army of the Night." Wilek and Kitainia have already said the things I like about it, I won't repeat their praise. But great work, I look very forward to reading WCC when you publish it. Good luck with Changeling, Lisa, and all the other characters we gave you. I also look forward to your feedback on "Vengeance" when you read that fic. And I read and really liked your little script. Thanks for the entertainment, bando. <grin>

Robby: The Sting version of Demolition Man is the one we'd like to get, although Grace Jones's would also be cool.

"Alex Wonder:" Good to hear from you, friend! Don't worry, we are still and always will be on your side. Thanks for the update on your conflict, we hope and pray it will soon be effectively resolved. And just so you know, Kit and I are planning to throw a HUMONGOUS celebration when you finally come back. <GRIN>

Christine: I say you should post "Dark Beauty 1" now. Spike's logic is good, but a cliffhanger will drive people nuts even more than an unposted but teased-about fic. :) I also agree with you about "make-em-writhe" writers, Stephen and Spike have that base covered. As do I. Speaking of which...

**TEASER ALERT**
Coming in a week or two: What are James Marsters and Juliet Landau's alter-egos (and the rest of Buffy's cast) going to do in my fanfic? What about the new character ideally voiced by Ben Stein? Wait till "Slayer Senshi" to find out. :)
**TEASER OVER, GRIN**

Forces of Nature: Kitainia already aired my opinion of this movie. It was okay, good character development and romance, but it needed more action. Enough said.

Batman Beyond: There was a new episode of this show this weekend, wonder if anyone noticed. It was pretty good. I liked the villains, and great character development on Terry and Bruce. My hopes for this show are looking UP.

**BEGIN COMMENTS ON AND SPOILERS FOR PLOYS**

Decent Pendragon episode this week. I liked the character development done on everyone. I do agree with Ed, however. Pendragon is getting the short end of the stick. Hope that soon changes. I want to see more of Morgana and the Illuminati in future eps. I also want to know what's happened with Clifford, Fang, Coldsteel, the wheelchair guy, Wolf, Lobo, and Coyote 6.0. We haven't seen some of them in SO long. :(

Okay, back on focus. Ploys was pretty good. I liked the investigation parts of it and how all the knights were used. It's also good that they know more about Lucius now. Hopefully they'll also soon find out more about Darien. The development on Emrys and Corbie was also good. I do wonder what the deal is with Corbie, though. We fans know she's really the Morrigan, so what is she up to with Emrys? Did Madoc (who knows about him being Merlin) send her to spy on his son, hoping to take advantage of his teenage hormone troubles? Or is Corbie doing this of her own free will? If so, does she know who Emrys is? Is she, like Umbriel, a possible rebel Unseelie? Who hit her, and will Emrys caring for her affect her in any way? Also, will Rory will see Corbie and recognize her from "The Tain" (causing trouble) any time soon? I can hardly wait to find out.

I also liked the tongue-in-cheek reference to Gargoyles Emrys made. All in all, this ep was filler but still great entertainment. 8/10, thumbs up.

**SPOILERS AND COMMENTS OVER NOW**

Todd, Aris, anyone else who got offended: Sorry about the little chat session last night. We got too caught up in the fun. We'll try to let such things take place in the chat room from now on. Also, please don't come down on our little competition every week for top ten posts. Kit and I are among the many who think it's WAY too much fun to let go.

Army of Darkness: I too adore this movie. It helped me write Seth's character (who is based a lot on Ash) and After the Flood. Very cool action, storyline, and effects. I also like the lines, such as "Hail to the King, Baby!" and "Come Get Some!" :)

Traveler: Once again, thanks for posting. $ Cool RP action. I wonder why Guod's Borg were going after dino DNA. Did that happen before or after our current situation? (Need to know, so I can see if my team will have to be fighting Borg-dinos any time soon.) Sorry about the Stooges, I thought they were really with you. And as for your interrogation, look above for our reaction to it and the results. Good character development in there, man. I really hope you're on our side. :) And your little foreshadowing about what the gov't will do when this is over. All I can say is "heh heh heh." $

Never heard of a band called "Tea Party," sorry. I also would not use a voting program, I prefer contests to be fair. And I look forward to getting your feedback next week. Hope you remember to send it (I'll make sure of that!). $ One last thing about the RP. If you want to control what happens your character more, you have to either post frequently or not place him in situations like you at the Marsh Building where we can easily get close to him and do stuff. Just a little advice, you don't have to take it. :) $

JEB: Yes, you can. Thanks for the congratulations.

Okay, I guess that's all for now. Later!

**BACK TO RP**

Doug finishes checking out, then heads out to the Onslaught, getting into the cab beside Jammer and Kitainia. "Wilek just called," Kitainia says, tapping her cell phone. "He'll meet us at the Red Robin, at your next post. There we can bring him up to date." "Good," says Doug, starting the truck. "Now let's get going." They head out.

The screen changes to the secret base, where Guod and his Borg are being upgraded to add fireproof shells. Suddenly Stewart runs in, dashing up to Guod and yelling, "Boss! Thailog wants to see you! And he's REALLY, REALLY mad!!!" "Oh boy," says Bobby Borgy. "You are really in trouble," Cindy Borgy giggles, pinching Guod's nose and causing the evil clone to wonder why he even bothered assimilating the Brady Bunch. "Uh, you gonna handle this, boss?" asks Butt-Borg. "Yes," Guod sighs. "Whatever he's mad about, I can talk my way out of it. Thailog knows we're too valuable to him for us to be forsaken. Just leave this to me." "Okay," says Stewart. "I hope you're right." Guod nods and walks off, heading for Thailog's main audience chamber. The screen fades out, next RP post (from Kit or Wilek) we will see what happens in there.

Which reminds me ... had a little CD of my own the other day ... Owen as an April Fool's joke signing Xanatos up to perform in some charity benefit concert ... him and Fox up on stage belting out "Puttin' on the Ritz"

Wavelength > they should be able to order it for you if you ask; I've got several signings at Seattle-area Waldenbooks coming up.

Dark Beauty > hmm, a division of opinions ... I think I will go ahead and post it on Wednesday and those who just can't bear to read one without the other can wait to read the first! ; )

Good "Trojan Horse virus" piece, Matt. Of course, if you want to be technical about it, there are a couple of nits in it:

1. Hector was dead by the time that the Greeks built the Trojan Horse, slain by Achilles not long before.

2. Poseidon didn't become Odysseus's enemy until after the sack of Troy, when Odysseus, on his way back home to Ithaca, blinded his son Polyphemus the Cyclops.

(Don't take this too personally; I just happen to have a weakness for the Trojan War legend. And anyway, I think that it's very funny).

As for the whole Comment Room=Chat room fiasco... well, we were being exceptionally demented that night, and I apologize if my actions offended anyone.

New TGS ep: Gosh, I need to read the Pendragon series. Every time a new ep of that series comes out, I end up just skimming it very quickly. :-P

All right, that's all I can think of to say for now.

*a hole in space opens, and JEB steps out*

Todd> Sounds like a kewl game. :) I'll have to make an especial point to find Pagan Shore, Beyond the Wall, and Land of Giants. Thanks for the info. :)

Doug> Now that all the papers are done, I can congratulate you, right? ;) Thanks for the compliment, I intend to add more material later this week. :)

Coyote> Never played Paranoia, but I've heard of it (and that it is weird)... you know, that D&D set could be worth some moolah if it's sufficiently old. :) Quite a market on places like eBay for old RPG materials.
Yesterday, I did a binge reading of all your new G:CM fics since "Doppleganger", and was quite impressed. Can't wait 'til WCC! :)

Doctor Who Fox Movie> I sort of liked it, actually... at least they actually continued it from the series instead of completely ditching the established world like so many re-do movies do... I do think it didn't quite feel as much like Doctor Who as it could have- maybe it was too Americanized, I dunno.

Blue Caeru> Good luck to you.

Demona Taina> Heh heh, like the song y'made up. :)

Joey> Glad to hear we've got a professional actor on our side- good luck, we're all hoping you succeed with your plans. :)

Kitania> Thanks. :) Comments are appreciated. :)

Lexy> Looking forward t'seeing you and your costume at G99. :)

G99> Well, I sent my registration and got the room... now, I just need the tickets (con and airplane) and I'm all set. :)

"Alex Wonder"> Nice to see you back, albeit briefly. We're still behind you (and you too, Coyote) 100%. :)

Comment Room become Chat Room> Bizarre... first, we get barely a dozen posts all weekend, and then at midnight the place is swamped. o_O Go fig. :)

Lady Mystic> Nice to hear from you- hope you've been doing alright. :)

Chat Room> C'mon, people, DX gave it to us for a reason- let's use it already. <:)

Kaioto> That is strange. O_o

Todd> Hm.... nope, you're it. ;) (Just joshing ya...)

Aaron> *raises hand* I'm a demi-fan, anyway. :) (As in, only saw a few eps, but liked)

Christine> *shrugs*

Traveler> Nope, never heard of them.

Be prepared for a website update tonight to both my Gargoyles Page and the page from my Brain. :)

Yes! A T1 connection again! (And two midterms, but oh well!)

Christine> Robby is not the only one interested, believe me! If you really feel that part one is done with edits, then post it! I can't wait to read "Dark Beauty!"

Aaron> If you have a fic crossover idea, by all means write and post it. Just because no American Gothic fans have spoken up in here doesn't mean that no one who reads your fic will get it. Besides, if the idea is extremely persistent, it helps to get it out of your system. (Hey, I actually wrote a fic based on the TV show "The Flash" just to get the idea to stop nagging at me.)

Demona Taina> LOL! It took me a minute to get it until I popped my Lion King soundtrack in and listened to the song! BTW, has there been a "This Kiss" filk done yet? I got maybe a partial filk of it written during work, and was wondering since mine's kind of strained.

I have not read "Ploys." I am saving myself. Tuesday night, after my second midterm and calc project, I'm going to reward myself by reading the new ep. :)

Last but not least--my roommate sent me this link to "The Cave of Magic." It's a very weird online card trick that consistently seems to work. Thought you all would get a kick out of it. Click my name to see if you can fool it.

Obviously no American Gothic/Gargs fans here. Too bad. How 'bout Gold Digger fans. I've been meaning to work up a cross-over between the two, but I wanted to know if anyone but me would get it.

Hello, Comment Room!!!

I have another little song... I made it up in the bathroom. I was so darn bored that I started to sing... hehe, guess what came up?

***Like "I just can't wait to be king!"***
Everybody look left!!! A GARGOYLE!!! Everybody look right!!! THERE'S ANOTHER!!! Everywhere you look, yeah! THERE'S A GARGOYLE!!! Oh, great! [thud]

Gargoyles are not just stone statues! Oh no! They are living beings who breathe and bleed!!! OH YEAH!!! Oh there's a gargoyle perched in your TV!!! Oh there's a gargoyle perched in your TV!!! Oh, there's a gargoyle peeeeeeercheeeeed!!! IN YOUR TV!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!

Goliath? Demona? Groan.
***END LIKE "I just can't wait to be king"***

Kinda dull? I know, I know... I was just so bored... [clears her throath, grins evilly, votes for Gargoyles again] I told you that they didn't stand a chance!!! HAHA!!! They don't stand a chance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cackles maniacally, runs around the room covering everyone in silly string and banana cream pies] Now that I think of it, how does it feel to be covered in banana cream, Goliath? Tell us your story.

Goliath: Well, that night I was in a bad mood, I've just beaten the hell off Wolf, when all of the sudden that maniac came with a huge bazooka, covered in bananas and dust. And this is true, I could swear that he had some dog goo in his butt... anyway, he looked at me, and said something that I don't remember because I was laughing my thoughts off in my head... when I saw that yellow thing flying towards my face... I could swear that it was some kind of sorcery, because it fled so fast... I was about to duck and miss it... fearing for my life... when I got hit by that creamy thing. I was so darn mad that I wanted to jump over the maniac and tear his heart off his chest... but I didn't want to get even dirtier. He walked away singing our theme... like nothing happened... grr... [Goliath glows eyes]

Taina: Continue...

Goliath: I could see how the dog goo fell to the floor when he moved his legs... nasty... but all of the sudden, I saw this talon moving towards my chin. I was about to tear it off... grr... when I noticed that it was Hudson's ugly talon. "Hmm! Banana cream!!!" And he made that stupid smile. Now, this didn't appear in "Vendettas", but I was so darn dirty that I ran and jumped into the water. The cream wiped off, and I was relieved. Then I saw this ugly piranha, with it's ugly teeth, swiming at the speed of a stupid mermaid... It bit my tail, and I roared and glided towards Hudson. "What's wrong lad?" I was very mad, very in a bad mood. My whole body was aching, you know, Wolf hit me with something in my stomach, he tried to hit me with some motors... Hudson attacked me... a flying axe was about to slash me in a half... that I just couldn't answer that stupid question Hudson made me without saying a nasty word... I just said: "Let's go home..." And I glided towards the castle, wanting to take it off my chest with bad words...

Taina: Now, that was nasty... I'm sorry, my love. Things like that happen sometimes.

Goliath: Your love? [eyes glow white]

Taina: Ooops... [runs like hell]

Todd: The number thing? I think it’s OK. It’s a tradition that’s being going on in these rooms for as long as I’ve known anyway. The only thing that annoys me is that being in the UK, it happens at some awful time in the morning. Meaning I’m inevitably really late posting. Besides, if top ten places weren’t being discussed, there probably wouldn’t be any posting at all, because of the new TGS episodes. Speaking of which…

***SPOILERS & COMMENTS FOR ‘PLOYS’***

Not bad. It had some funny moments (especially the dream programme, describing Gargoyles :)). But generally I felt it all seemed rather loosely cobbled together. I feel ‘Pendragon’ is being awfully neglected of late; the ratio of Gargoyles to Pendragon tales have gone from 1:1 to 4:1 or thereabouts. And when they do come they seem to be short affairs that deal with a plethora of sub-plots lacking much substance at all. Which is frustrating because so much could be being addressed! What about some tales describing what happens between Elaine and Arthur? Or flashbacks dealing with CuChullain Arthur’s period as ruler of Britain (I liked the flashbacks!), Merlin (especially regarding Madoc), Una and Leo from 1940 to 1996 etc. Griff’s relations to his clan could be fun. Brianna’s worth reintroducing. What’s Morgana up to? How about more Illuminati development?

It’s not that the episodes are that bad, but they just seem so incomplete. It’s disappointing because I like Pendragon and I feel that it’s being quite severely neglected next to big brother, ‘Gargoyles’. The episodes typically seem to lack structure and purpose. It’s almost as if there’s loads of stuff the staff want to do in Gargoyles and not much in Pendragon, and to compensate the Pendragon plots are spread very sparingly over their episodes where Gargoyles plots are more nourishing and wholesome.

Kaioto> I knew you'd take the Bisquick in here! Oh, and I finished that chapter you sent me. Very cool.

Christine> *chanting* Post now! Post now! Post now!

I had an odd weekend. Friday night I finally got un-grounded, so I spent a few (read: eight) hours on the computer. Saturday, I spent another nine, then had a couple friends over for a fire. Sunday, my dad and I took his quad out for a ride over a lake... cracking ice... yikes.... Last night, Mel and I were on the phone for two hours, watchin' the Oscars and making fun of people's ears (don't ask). Amisdt all this, my socks don't match. :-P

I'm having one of those days. I was looking in the mirror and I noticed something: I have perfect ears. Seriously! They are PERFECT! It's so weird! Proportions and everything.

OK, I'm gonna leave now. I have to get to Social Studies.

****WARNING RP: TRAVELER AND JADEN'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE PART II>:]****

TIME: Late Jurassic Era

Scene: Jaden and Traveler are extracting bone marrow from a partially tranqued 'raptor. Why you say? Shhh! It's a s-e-c-r-e-t.....>:)) Jaden*clearly struggling to keep the raptor pinned*: Tell me why again you're the one extracting the marrow, And I'm the one stuck pinning this brute down? Traveler: Simple. I'm the one with the key to the DMC. *hehehehehe* That and the fact that if you don't I'll drop you in the middle of Salem, Mass. during the witch trials and let the cliche' angry pesants chase you around for a few hours... *hehehehheeh* Jaden*not ammused*: Yea, yea, ha ha funny... *raptor stirs a little at snaps at Jaden* Ummm...Are you almost done with that? *a metallic whirring is heard as the probe is extracts itself from the animal.* Traveler: Yep....now lets get out of here before she wakes up. Hmmm...now where do we have to go next? ----Time passes as they walk back to the car---- Jaden*his ears perk up as if he hears something*: Do you hear that? Traveler: No, what? Jaden: Sounds like... AC/DC? Traveler: Yeah I DO hear something.... *"Dirty deeds...and they're DONE DIRT CHEEP!!!"* *hehehehehe* I love that one, but where's it comming from? Jaden: Perhaps we should find out. Traveler: I agree. It's comming from...not to far over there....-> Jaden*whispers*: Tell me I'm not seeing what I think I'm seeing. Traveler: Well this is certainly an unexpected surprise. Not a "good" surprise by any means, but a surprise nonetheless... *In a clearing Borgis and Butt-Borg can be seen commmanding a few other drones that are extracting DNA samples from a raptor as well!* Jaden: Let's send'em running home to momma... *grins manicaly as he begins to unsheath his battle ax.* Traveler: Yes, but they don't know we're here and I think we should keep it that way. Any ideas hair-ball? Jaden*growls*: Stop calling me that! Hmmm...I know, remember that T-Rex we tagged when we first got here? Traveler: Oh yea.... *hehehehehehehe* ----Ten Minutes later---- Butt-Borg: Uhhhhhh....what's that sound? Borgis: hehehehheheheheh....what soun...AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

****END OF RP. TUNE IN NEXT TIME FOR THE CONTINUING ADVENTURES.....****

Ahhh....Friday. Finaly. You see, I'm currentaly in what is known to college students as "the crunch" right now. My spring break doesn't start until the 31st.>:( So I'm having fun with midterms and regular tests and such. As for Doug and Kitainia...s'alright, you didn't know. But it's friday(this is when I started writing this on and off), and I have some time now. SOooo let's go!!!

>QUESTION- If you had a voteing program for the USA Weekend poll, would you use it? For Gargoyles only?

>Christine- <<It may have gotten lost in the madness, or maybe nobody but Robby gives a damn <g>, but any other feelings on whether I should post the first part of Dark Beauty now or wait until the second part is done and then post both?>> Ohhh.....no. I did'nt miss it, not by a long shot. My answer you ask? POST IT!!!! POST IT!!!!! POST IT!!!!! >:))

>James Birdsong- <<King Kong not Godzilla swatted down planes.>> AAAANNNNNNN!!!!!!! Wrong. You obviosly haven't seen very many Godzilla movies, have you? Yes King Kong swatted (or at least attempted to) old bi-planes. But Godzilla was taking out military jets!!!

>jewel- <<Pem East Whore Corps>> ???? You girls must get REALLY board there don't you?

>Doug- <<So you're a Republican, eh? We'd never have guessed!>> It's always the ones you least suspect... *MMUUUUHHHHHAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA* As for your feedback, curentally I'm planning on doing it during my spring break when I have time to lay around the house. By the way, thanks for keeping my character in the game even though that's not "excatly" how things would have happened on the roof.....and where did you and Kitainia get the idea that The Three Stooges were really up there? I did say that I was WATCHING one of their short films on a movie screen.... Now what to do about being "trapped>:))" in the hotel room being interrorgated....

>Todd Jensen- <<Interesting comments on "The Longest Day Part One", but aren't you being rather bloodthirsty?>> "There is right and then there is reality." Granted TGS is obviously not reality but what if? Generaly the Fey, elves, faries, whatever are believed to have come to Earth from another dimention, Elsewhere or something, that's the only one of names I can remember right now. They came here because, from what I've heard, they destroyed their own world/universe/whatever in a war. So basically Earth has been home to the survivors. What does this equate to? Well imagine if the U.S. were to let in a bunch of refugees that came pack'in a thermal-nuke in each of their pocket's. Kinda' opens the doors for disaster doesn't it? Now look at it from the Gargoyles universe view. We have a bunch of super powerful beings who have came to Earth as refugees, have generaly tormented and made life hell for the two (that we know of) "mortal" races that were previously existing on that ball of mud. Had a civil war which decimated the Gargoyle populaton, and destroyed most of the more advanced traces of civilation Humans had built up to that point. Now with Madoc and Oberon they're going to go another round. To me it sounds like our "guests" have been behaving quite poorly. As for the pro-human fey, as you described them, well I don't think they'd take to kindly to the rest of their race being wiped from the face of this planet. Call them what you will: casulities of war, lambs caught in the slaughter, accepable losses...sacrifices must and will be made... Besides, everyone enjoys a good blood bath now and again....*hehheheheh*

>Coyote the Bando- Thanks for clearing up my questions. So here's one more: Approx how many troops DO the Rokkans have? Are they THAT similar to the ID4 aliens? From your stories so far, it looks like they don't have nearly as many resources (both material and personal wise) as that, and have been using their technology to do most of the work. EX. carpet bombing Manhatten (I loved that part>:)) to force a surender.

>Spike- <<"Lucy?" Caspian’s voice echoed in the hallway before he popped into the room. "Oh, there you are. Your boyfriend the digestive biscuit is beeping you on the computer again." "He is NOT my boyfriend," Lucy said as she hopped off the couch. She scowled up at her big brother. "And don’t make fun of him. Graeme is a perfectly lovely name." ------"Night of the Weird">> Ohhh....you're bad, your real bad. And for the record I pronounce Graeme's name the same way, like the cracker.>:))

>QUESTION TO ALL- All right, I asked this once before, and received NO response, so I'll ask again. Has anybody else here heard of or listen to a band called "The Tea Party"?

****WARNING: GARGOUYLES/PENDRAGON EPISODE SPOILERS****

>The Longest Day Part: II- WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE DIDN'T CAST THE SPELL????!!!!!! NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Alive for more than ten centurys....you'd think she would have learned SOMETHING about warfare.>:[ Rule#1- There are none. This includes family ties. Take a look at the American Civil War. (Demona: Of course I care if you hate me for the rest of your life Angela, but at least your still ALIVE and FREE to hate me.) Really though, the side who is willing to sacrafice the most more often than not, wins. And I don't just mean lives, I mean morals as well. And with them being up against the Unseliee Court, well, Demona should have just cast the damn spell and ended it all right there for the fey. (Of course, then the story arc that's been building for the last...what has it been....about a year now?...would have crashed and burned so it isn't as if it was THAT a big suprise that she didn't cast it...)

>Ploys- WHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! A pendragon episode after so long....a to think, a few weeks ago we were all pineing for some gargoyles episodes....>:) Well what to say about this one; the writers DID make excelent use of all of the characters or "knights" they've picked up along their "quest". And a conflict between Leba and Dulcinea(sp?) brewing...interesting. BTW, I was almost ROTFL when I read that "and there was much rejoicing(sp?)" line one of you gave Leba. Who's been watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail?>:))

****END OF EPISODE SPOLIERS****

>Sevarius Jr.- <<You're Republican? That figures. All the real badasses are Republican.....But it makes sense. After all, aren't Republicans supposed to be the "evil" party?>> Oh yes, my friend, we are the badasses of the world. (And the Democrats will never admit it but we pretty much run the country if not most of the world.>:] On another topic, WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU AGREE WITH ME ABOUT THE FEY???!!! ARE YOU NUTS TO???? *heheheheheheh* Just kidding.

>Mary Flanders- <<Travler-Yes! Perfect! I love the idea! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!! Torture all evil souls in Hell!!!!!!>> My twisted imagination and I try out best, don't we? *a glowing blackish blue blob pops out of Traveler's head nods yes, then pops back into his head.* As for your story, I started reading it, then realised, "Hey, wait-a-minute, I remember reading this a loooog time ago." So I read that one quite a while back, and I enjoyed it. It was well written, but a second part had never come out, so I had sorta' filed it and forgotten about it. But then this explains why I thought your name looked familar when you first started posting here...

>Celano- They think mine is either DarthVader@DeathStar.emp or nutkase@nowhere.com >:))

>Fleur- Thanks for the welcome back, but as you can see from the average length of time between my posts, you could technicaly say welcome back EVERY time I post.>:) *hehehehehehe* <<That Humanity stuff was well said. BTW>> Thanks, and that was only off the top of my head. But it's a reasonably accurate way of how I feel about that whole argument. With some stipulations of course. There are always exceptions to the rule.

>Gabriel- <<Traveller: Thanks for the inspiration, you know this was realy a cruel one.>> I try my best, and it was your request. As for your Mr. Disconnect death, heh, heh, heh, you used a crossbow.>:)) I liked that part.>:)

>Jackal and the puppies- Look, I had about as normal a childhood as one can get, I guess was just born with a slightly twisted and skewed sense of humor (among other mental quriks). I was ROTFL about the puppies. And I'm NOT going to mention the Creativity Demon I just had while typing this. Well, maybe I will....Imagine the dead puppys dancing and singing to Gilbert & Sullivan..."Three little girls from school are we....." Don't ask me where that came from, because I don't know, it's just there.>:))

>Stormy- That pic of Luther demands an explaination. In the from of a fanfic of course.>:)) <<What do non-fan people DO with their time?>> Some of them are known as BGF's (Beer Guzzling Fiends). They can be found almost anywhere, but can usually be seen sneaking liquer of various types into movie theaters and rolling the empty containers down the floor. Or in most high school sports programs. Sometimes both.>:))

>SOROW- Hope they figure out what's wrong with you soon. BTW, what did you upgrade your computer to? Oh, and what excatily is "Drill Team Camp"?

>Veggie Burgers- I'm going to agree with S.J. on this one. MEAT RULEZ!!!!! <<Mary Flanders-Well, some of us don't belive in eating anything with soft brown eyes. :)>> Ahhh...but they're the best tasting kind...>:))

>Buffy the Vamp. Slayer- All right, I have just one thing to say. MINI-GOLF!!!!!

****WARNING: RP AHEAD. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.****

Scene: The hotel room where Janice is so far un-successfuly trying to interrorgate Traveler. So far he hasn't said a word, and is just sitting there humming or whisling annoying show-tunes, and periodically checking the time on his forearm mini-computer as if waiting for something... Janice: Dammit!!! Will you stop it with Gilligan's Island and just answer my questions!!!!! Traveler: No. Shap*in a sarcastic tone*: Behold...It speaks!!! Traveler*grins manicaly*: You have'nt said the magic word. Janice: I don't believe this....all right, PLEASE???!!! Traveler: Welllllll....if you insist... *hehehehehe* You see, as Gubio has already told you all I am basicaly Khaos Inc., which more or less own's and has owned Marsh Ind. from its start. As well as large chunks or controling shares of too many other companies to list right now, besides you don't really need to know that anyway. As for Marsh, even though my holding company owned a controling share of his voteing stock, we've never met. Well at least to his knowledge.... And we had an infromal agreement I would keep him in office as the CEO adn president, and keep my shares as a silent partner, in exchange for access to their R&D departments..and a few faviors here and there... Janice: So you KNEW what Marsh was doing with Thailog even before we did, AND YOU LET HIM??? Traveler*non-chalant*: Of course, I like to keep an eye on my investments. Janice*angry*: That's not what I meant. You knew about Marsh becoming Thailog's main finacial backer, and did'nt stop him? Traveler: Ohhh...that's what you meant. Well why would I? Had I interviened in the beginning Thailog most likely would have found another to take Marsh's place, who would have most likely have been another unknowing president of one of my companies...Besides if he hadn't we wouldn't be having all of this FUN!!! Janice: I don't believe this, he thinks it's fun... Well what about Khaos Inc., tell us more about that and your connection to the U.S government. Traveler*smiles manicaly again*: Sorry little lawyer, not even a National Security clearence will get you that. Technically I should kill you all just for knowing that connection, but...why bother. When this is all over the Gov will probally arange for you all to have "accedents", or maybe not. Who knows, I just do "faviors" for them now and again. *hehehehehehe* *At this revelation, everyone in the room starts to REALLY woried* *Traveler then just stands up, passing THROUGH his bonds, as a section of the room's wall slides away and a big wheel mounted verticaly on a pedistal, adn everyone else tries to move and stop him but they find that they cannot move or speak.* Traveler: And now for today's lession we turn to....THE WHEEL OF IMMORIALALITY!!!! (Sorry, the moral one's in the shop for a tune up. -The Management) Traveler: Wheel of immorality turn, turn, turn, tell us today's lession that we should learn. *a small printer on the side of the pedistal prints out a resopnse* Traveler: And today's immoral lession is: "Pull a few strings and let'em live." WHAT??!!! That's not right....espically when dealing with "black" ops...*looks over at the wheel.* They must've switched your logic chips with the moral wheel's when they were assembling you two at the factory you know that? *the wheel starts printing out another response* Traveler: "Do it or you don't get the trip to Tahiti." OK, fine. Everybody, if you keep playing nice with Thailog's troops like you have been I'll see what I can do about the Death Warents that have probally already been drawn up. Think of it as my good deed for this eon. *wheel starts to print out another message* Traveler: "Look out the window, your ride's here." Oooh, sorry guys, gotta' go. *the wheel slides back into the wall and it closes leaving no trace it was ever there, Traveler opens the curtains at the window looks down and just steps off. Everybody looks at each other, realises that they can now move, and run over to the window to see where he's gone. Seeing what's out there, everybody takes a few quick steps back as what looks like it used to be an SR-71 slowly rises up to the window. A seemingly part human, part raptor female in light body armor is piloting as Traveler slips into the rear navigator seat.* Traveler: God I LOVE military surplus and alien technology!!! Hey say hi to CC eveybody!! She kept pestering me to give her "one of those" with a few modifications after she saw Jurassic Park. Kept saying something about only being able to carry on a meaningful conversatoin with herself until she got vocial chords. I don't know why, I can make stimulating conversation too... CC: Sure you can you knuckle head... Hi guys I can finaly speak now!!! *sees Gubio's cat Mist in the room* Mmmmm....kitty.... Traveler: CC no, if you want to we can stop at the local pet store on our way out of town, but Gubio's cat is off limits...for now at least. CC*a bit dissapointed*: OoooK. Traveler: Now off to Colorado!!! We don't want to miss the fireworks show when Thailog's troops and fleet take over NORAD only to find that it's already been evacuated, with only the robot security force remaining....and out little surpise..>:] *MMMMUUUUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!* *the canopies seal as CC shakes her head in a "it's funny but not THAT funny" and the craft flys away toward Colorado.* Janice: Ohhh....boy.

Hi All! Haven't been around for a while, but I'm back. YaHOOOOOOO! Spring vacation at last, I actually survived until it came.
*****Spoilers for new EP*****
Ploys was nicely written, three thumbs up. I loved the part where Emrys thinks up a new TV series, and Corbies responce to it. I don't see exactly why the part with the roller coaster was there, but it was good.

Celano > Yea , but you lonely fan girls are out numbered 5 to 1 by guys. which means go to one convention smile at one lonely guy and you have 4 lonely guys and one happy guy and girl:). looks at all the angry stare oh no its true ladies I just got back form one. Heck being told by a girl that I was her second choice kind of gave me an ego boost for the whole weekend. Man I tired, but works slow so I been sneaking in here to read and post hehehe

well I read the chat room and got caught up. looks like I missed a good race with the top ten.

Jewel> I used to work at Media Play in the computer department and you would not believe some of the question I got! I think the top two were hmm the lady trying to but floppies in her cd drive and the lady that was sure people were accessing her modem when it was not plugged in( she would not believe me and left saying I was working for THEM).
Well I survived MOC and had a good time. The Greg shirt con party we had was a blast; as well as the wet wench contest that the dead priates did. The grab a$$ room was funny as well as hmm mabey I should stop not sure if all the activates are appropriate, but I well explain the grab a$$ room. This event is for the ladies. all the women line up in two rows and then we guys are forced to run the gauntlet. This is their revenge on us guys for hitting on them the weekend. Sigh I was “forced” to run it twice :). Oh I almost forgot we had a Celtic hand fasting for a very lucky guy to a incredible woman(they will have a mundane wedding too)a norse priestes preformed the cermony. umm thats all folks

Hi, just had to post this - sorry if anyone's seen it before.

Early E-mail :)

**************************************

Hey Hector,

This was forwarded to me by Cassandra--it looks legit. Please distribute to Priam, Hecuba, and your 99 siblings.

Thanks,

Laocoon

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

IF YOU RECEIVE A GIFT IN THE SHAPE OF A LARGE WOODEN HORSE DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT!!!! It is EXTREMELY DESTRUCTIVE and will overwrite your ENTIRE CITY!

The "gift" is disguised as a large wooden horse about two stories tall. It tends to show up outside the city gates and appears to be abandoned. DO NOT let it through the gates! It contains hardware that is incompatible with Trojan programming, including a crowd of heavily armed Greek warriors that will destroy your army, sack your town, and kill your women and children. If you have already received such a gift, DO NOT OPEN IT! Take it back out of the city unopened and set fire to it by the beach.

FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!

Poseidon

TO: laocoon@doomgloom.edu
RE: Greeks bearing gifts

Laocoon,

I hate to break to you, but this is one of the oldest hoaxes there is.
I've seen variants on this warning come through on other listservs, one involving some kind of fruit that was supposed to kill the people who ate it and one having to do with something called the "Midas Touch." Here are a few tipoffs that this is a hoax:

1) This "Forward this message to everyone you know" crap. If it were really meant as a warning about the Greek army, why tell anyone to post it to the Phonecians, Sumerians, and Cretans?

2) Use of exclamation points. Always a giveaway.

3)It's signed "from Poseidon." Granted he's had his problems with Odysseus but he's one of their guys, isn't he? Besides, the lack of a real header with a detailed address makes me suspicious.

4) Technically speaking, there is no way for a horse to overwrite your entire city. A horse is just an animal, after all.

Next time you get a message like this, just delete it. I appreciate your concern, but once you've been around the block a couple times you'll realize how annoying this kind of stuff is.

Bye now,
Hector

I have a quick announcement, but first:
MR DC'S GONNA PAY!
(Argent searches the room.)
"Hmmmmm, I'm in the mood for some volleyball. But I can't find a ball anywhere."
(Spots Mr. DC leaning against a bin and a wicked smile crosses face. Mr. DC spots Argent approaching him, screams, and makes good his escape. Or tries to. He trips over Jewel*D and falls out the window. There is a loud SPLAT! as he hits the pavement, followed by funny-sounding accordian noises. Argent watches all of this with a calm interest , pulling a volleyball out of the bin DC was leaning against.)

Now: Just wanted to say this real fast.
Argent unfurls the roll Jewel*D was carrying, and the pair hang the blue and white hued banner on one of the CR room walls.)

Army Of Darkness: You know, I loved this movie for no good reason? I actually have a regular character in one of my stories who is somewhat unstable. A bit of a selfish and spineless door mat at times, when Geoff gets pushed too far he falls into that Ash-like persona. Basically, Geoff lapses into this delusional state when he gets overly intimidated or scared and starts off like he's some action-movie hero cliché. He's really more comic relief at times than a realistic character, but I like a man who asks a thug "Who's your daddy?" While smacking him upside the head with a trash can. :)

** TGS SPOILER **
I liked this episode, though it felt more like an act than a whole episode. It was certainly quality work, but there is something to be said for quantity when it comes to sitting down to the table after a long night of jockeying for position on the Comment Room Bulletin Board. :) Seriously, I liked the way the characters are developing and being portrayed consistently. I almost feel Corbie actually has real feelings for Merlin … as if the human experience is humanizing her. I always claimed there was something rotten at the core of the Illuminati, now I have some justification and inspiration for my "Dark Heart of the Shadow" piece.

I'll be at Gen-Con 99 his summer because I can't make the Gathering. Anyone else going?

Joey: Let me hear an "Oh Hell Yeah!" Go for it, man.

You know, I have a certain theory about Bisquick in Fantasy universes I always wanted to share. It's my favorite substance for confining and capturing mages and Fay alike. Maybe this will show you why …

**Very Weird Short Warning …**
From the Mind of Kaioto:

January 12th, 2:35AM ...

Supervisory Log, Dr. Alfred Jenison.

Substance SQ1859-09R, a.k.a. "Bisquick" was used in a step three controlled experiment today. The process is outlined in my report to the Dr. Zharaov, but my personal observations need to be recorded.

It struck me as quite intriguing how it interacted with the "Volunteer" subject we introduced to it. The reality deviant (a.k.a. Mage) was placed in the confinement zone with 20 cubic meters of the "Bisquick" for a period of 3.67 hrs. Even though the schedule calls for 5 hours, I saw it fit to disengage the experiment when the "Bisquick" finished digesting the subject and became inert once again.

The proximity of the reality deviant had a marked effect of the subject, prompting agitation and apparent evolution as well as dramatically increased energy output. It is a pity it grew a pseudo-pod and enveloped our volunteer, otherwise we might determine if it could achieve sentience through more long-term exposure ... ah well ... looks like we're going to need another Timmy ... computer ... delete last entry line from official logs.

*End of minor exercise in insanity*

Ah well, maybe Deuce did get around to my sanity after all.

****TGS SPOILERS****
Ploys: Another excellent episode. It was very nice to see the Corbie/Emrys relationship again. It also raises some questions as to why the people in the amusment park were so hostile to each other. I suspect that the woman who walked by may have something to do with it. I also look forward to seeing what the minions plan to do to London and just what is Mr. Montrose's relationship to the Unseelie.
****END SPOILERS****

Comment to Chat Room> It certainly made for an amusing read. I, unfortunately, did not get home in time to participate in either it or the top ten.

We'll have to come during the day, then...hm...We'll have to be sneaky if we want to avoid detection. Probably take a stealth-rigged Sentinel-class landing craft with a staff car in its docking bay. It'll have to be a small party; me, Miriam, Rho, and SJ and Kari if they want to come...Can't bring Anoth, though; he's too well-known..."]

**PAUSE RP AND BEGIN NEW EP SPOILERS!**

Hmm, normally I don't much care for Pendragon eps, but this one was interesting. And Emrys' proposal of a new TV show or something had me ROTFLMTO! <g> Not sure what the amusement park had to do with anything (was anyone truly surprised when Brendan and Margot turned out to be in it?)...although it could be a bungled assassination attempt...

**END SPOILERS!**

We should do that whole chat thing every week. :P For some reason though, I always chicken out of contributing to a real actual chat room. I don't know why...

You know what's odd? This morning, I had this really lovely song of some kind from a dream stuck in my head, and now I've forgotten it. Dang.

Dumlao> Hm...well, in any case, if the radio thing supports direct input of streamig-media URLs, type in http://207.38.120.83:8888 (I think) to get extremely kewl music from the Castlevania games. Those of you with Winamp (available at www.winamp.com) can hit ctrl-l to get a text box to input this in.

He opens a vid-window...which shows several Borg muttering something about Guod being pleased with their victory, and Thailog not discovering their betrayal until it's too late... Thailog: "You mean..." WF1: "Indeed...Guod has turned against you." Thailog: "<grr> <puts fist through screen> GUOD YOUR MISERABLE METAL HIDE IS MINE!"

On the Avatar of Ganon...Wilek: "<evil chuckle> I think that Thailog is learning about Guod's 'betrayal' just about now. Ha! Administrator, this latest game of yours is a masterpiece! Using our Borg to frame Guod..." Forfexx: "Divide and conquer? Sick, that. I rather like it..."]

**Zath skips into the CR, hugs Mr. DC, and gives his a fruit basket. Suspecting a trick, DC sets the basket on the floor and runs out of the room very fast. Zath just shrugs and begins to eat a banana out of the basket. Noticing the funny stares from everyone, Zath turns to make a post.**
Hi all. I thought I's just pop in for a quick post to show I'm not dead. I haven't had time to catch up with the room, but there are a few things I thought I'd share.

The thing with DC was because an error with my teacher's computer made it so I didn't have any essay questions on my last biology test. If there had been an essay, I might not have gotten an A. : )

Army of Darkness was on tv last week and I was wondering if anyone else thought of Goliath when "Bad Ash" came out of the grave and said "I live again!". Also, that part where Sheila said "You found me beautiful once," made me thing of Demona. Maybe I'm just strange.

Another thing I thought I'd share is a friend of mine told me that our school library has a scanner students can use. If this is true, I can contribute to the illustrated quote page. I already have some scenes in mind: )

That's all for now. I might not be able to post again for another week or three, but I'll be back eventually.

**Zath finishes the banana and tries to throw the skin into the trash can across the room but misses. Kenny slips on the peel and falls into the moat, hitting his head on one of the gators. He doesn't die, but he does get a nasty black eye and eventually develops a rash from something in the dirty moat water...**

Well, THAT was interesting.

Why was I late? Oscars. For a movie nut like me, you can never pull me away from the oscars, no matter what. And because I was late, I ain't mad at nobody for the chatting session. Though I do wish people would use the chat room I got for the place.

WILEK-- The radio function for IE5 is kinda like a constant streaming version of RealAudio more than Shoutcast. Gotta say that if you don't have a fast connection (56k or higher) it'll come out very choppy. Otherwise, it's kinda nice to see what other stations are like.

To quote Puck, "MY, what a romp indeed!" That was a lotta fun folks, but once again, up front to Dumlao I say, I started this madness, if you are at all angry about this, blame some of it on me. In my defense, its never gotten past 4 or 5 posts before the room cleared before, and you were an hour late.

Why were you late anyway? Oscars, torture us, or computer problems? Anyhow, the 192 posts in an hour at least is some kind of record... (And for those who actually DON'T know what I'm talking about, just check last week! THAT was a madhouse! But a fun one!)
And its funny, some posts DID go before anyone realized they were in the top ten...
