Okay people's, I'm stepping in right now. Stop yelling at Peter, he already appologized. Yes, he was wrong to say it, but he DID appologize. Leave him be, he's suffered enough. In any event, I'm going to attempt to wipe the room at midnight as usual, your message will be gone then Peter. Until then, you have to live with it.

Now, back to buisness as usual, please?

P-Fay, you did not apologize. Just thought I should point that out... Grow up and try doing commissions yourself, or even try your name-your-own-price technique. That way you'll have a better idea of what it's like.

Peter-- You may have said to the other artists "sorry if I insulted you, I just meant aimee since she was rude to me in that email" That's basically what you said. So you KINDOF appologized to the other artists, but in the process you further insulted me. So I think you should rethink your self-rightiousness, becuase you are the one being insensitive.

*temporarily steps out of the closet only to see all the flaming going on*

I THOUGHT I APOLOGIZED HERE! ARE YOU PEOPLE THAT INSENSITEVE? :P

Well, that's made everything clear

point 1> I'm giving up art.
point 2> I'm not even going to spend time at the Gathering, just maybe lock myself in my hotel room away from all the people whom I, just now, made myself COMPLETELY UNPOPULAR WITH.
point 3> I'm DEFINITELY not going to any more Gatherings.
point 4> I'm getting rid of ALL the S8 comment rooms I have stowed away somewhere.
point 5> Finally, all Gathering videos are now indefinitely unavailable because I have no packaging for it.

I hope you guys are happy on how you all made me feel after I TRIED TO APOLOGIZE! THANKS FOR NOTHING! I hope Gargoyles NEVER makes it back on the air, all the garg websites go down & you loosers break away from each other!

OK PFay this time you've really done it to yourself.
How dare you talk about all those artists behind their back in a public forum!! "stuckup"? "out to make a buck"???
I do VERY few commissions. In fact I only really do them for a few people when I have time, most of my images are just presents for people becuase I enjoyed their work (bet you didnt know that did you asshole?). ON top of that, it is MY business what I charge for my work. I'm a trained artist and animator, in about a year or two, I probably wont do ANY commissions at all becuase I'll be too busy working fulltime at animation. Right now I'm working at school. I have to finish a short film every year, backgrounds, special effects, character designs, rough AND cleanup. That's all me, I have to do all of it. It's only a few thousand drawings at least. HRM, well lets see that kinda makes me a little busy. I don't have time to hardly even finish my film. I get way too much email from people daily asking me questions about calarts, or animation or how to draw better. I currently probably have about 200 to 300 unanswered emails that are VERY similar to the one you sent me. BUT yours got answered. And you call me RUDE for answering your email? I dont have time to kiss your ass when I'm replying to my emails. I have time to answer your question, and answer a few other people's questions and then I have to get back to work on my film. I havent even had time to finish some commissions for friends of mine becuase of my scedule. Stephanie (RW) is equally as busy and you can be sure that she's going to here about this.You said it. and YOU said it about all of us, and all of us deserve to know what you really think about us "stuckup" miserly artists.

When I charge for character commissions on the internet, I charge about $20. That includes all the development sketches I do, the final inking and a full color. The amount of time that takes to complete makes it so that the $20 doesnt even cover minimum wage often times. In fact usually the only reason that I charge people is so that I can have enough money to afford my col-erase pencils and so that I dont have to do every single commission that comes into my mail box. I have a big pile of people who I'm sure would be like "YOU HAVE TO DRAW ME BECUASE YOU DREW HER" if I did it for free, I know that from experience, so screw you Peter. Thank you for singling me out from ALL the artists and making me look like an asshole, when you have NO idea what goes on in my life. Thank you for saying everyone else "does good stuff" but I dont huh? gee thanx. Gee, I wonder why Ylla doesnt like you. hrm... maybe its becuase she's smarter than the rest of us who were trying to be nice and polite to you, but got it shoved in our faces?

Art is not easy. Its only free if the artist is feeling very generous. It takes time, thought and creativity... something not everyone has. Like Christy said, Art is our career. I dont work at McDonalds, I'm not a secretary, I dont work at a bank, I DRAW. If you want my services or any other artists' services, you can pay them for their time and their generousity for a original peice of art, a peice of their creativity. YOU can reimburse them for their hard work, and you can show respect for their talent by paying them at least remotely close to a respectable hourly wage. I find it utterly repulsive that most internet people have no concept of the fact that they are often ripping artists off, since people at mcdonalds can sometimes make more than an artist on a commission... and then they have the GALL to harrass the artist, make fun of them or BASH them like you in a public comment room.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

***MORE SHAMELESS GROVELING***

Why I'm asking that my comments don't leave this room is because I need a favor from Raptor Woman so she can let me use her artwork for the cover of my Gathering 98 video. I'm afraid, with these comments I made, she'll label me a "lamer" and blow me away like the wind.

Peter,

I hope you realize the can of worms that one careless statement has opened.

There aren't many people who I can truly say I like, much less trust enough to work with. So it really does say a lot when three of the GWT/G99 con staff members are Christi Smith Hayden, Lauren "Siryn" Broadbent, and Jennifer "CrzyDemona" Anderson (Jen also being my vice-con chair).

I have _never_ found any of them to be "stuck up" or out to just "make-a-buck". In fact, I had to make both Siryn and Demmie take money from me for artwork that I have commissioned from them.

Combine this with the amount of _free_ artwork they have done for TGS _and_ Garg fandom in general. If they want to charge you for art, that is their right. And as Christi so eloquently said, for a lot of them it is either their profession or will soon be.

I personally find your statement to be over-generalizing and insulting. I do hope you do rescind it.

I can explain.

One time, I sent an email to Aimee Major to inquire about Calarts. The response I got back was rather unprofessional & rude, and that impression was on my mind when I made that comment.

As for Ylla... well... she just don't like me.

***SHAMELESS GROVELING MODE***

WHAT THIS MEANS is that my comments don't apply to ALL the artists in the group. Kanthara, she does good stuff. Siryn, she does good stuff. Spike, she does VERY good stuff! I apologize if I hurt anyone else's feelings. All I can ask is that this "off-comment" does not leave this room, meaning if any of the admins could wipe it, I would appreciate it.

My dear Mr. Fay......

You do realize that with that one ill-turned phrase, you've successfully managed to insult and offend the majority of artists in fandom, not just those of us that you've mentioned by name. We are NOT 'stuck up and out to make a buck.' We are professional artists, animators and art students whose time and talents are worth paying for. Our fees cover our supplies, our time and our creativity, which is a rare and priceless commodity. Most of our clients appreciate the professionism in which we approach our commissions and are willing to pay us what we are worth for the enjoyment a personalized work of art can bring.

Art for us is not only a passion, it is our life's work, a career that we are fortunate in having because we are doing something that we love to do. To have our passion for art referred to is such a thoughtless manner is inexcuseable.

Wilek & Pistoff> *gets a big-eyed, beaming, "You like me! You really like me!" look* I had thought about doing commisions as a way to make a little cash, like the professionals (Christi-Smith Hayden, Aimee Major, Kanghara, Siryn, Ylla), but I wouldn't be all stuck-up and "make-a-buck" like that. I'd probably have like a "name your own price" deal. Of course, I'd probably get $0.00 as my offer. :)

Pis, if I can manage to pull myself away from my MAME arcade emulator long enough, I'd be happy to take a stab at providng illustrations for your fanfic characters. Just em me a description of them as best you can. In fact, send me a description of yourself as a character. I might have room for you and Wilek in my play. ;)

As an added suggestion, you might want to get ICQ. It's better than attaching a file to an email. I tried sending Coyote a 454K file atttachment of 5 pics, but he was unable to pick it up (his email client is MS Internet Mail :P).

You guys are the best. This room is the best. I think I'm definitely going to like it here. :)

P-Fay: Oh, boy, I know what you mean about the rejection stuff. Ten years ago I would spend months working on a story until I felt that it was perfect. I sent it off with high hopes ... and it came back with a form letter saying "it isn't right for our magazine." Later, when I was taking a creative writing course in the local community college, I turned in several stories that the entire class loved. One of these stories was so well received that half the class asked me to autograph their copies of it (one guy said he might need something to hawk someday ...)--and a number of these were publisher authors. So I sent the stories off--and they were immediately rejected.

One of these, I should mention, was the novella that my novel, "Where the Sun Doesn't Shine," was based on--which, 3 years after I wrote it, now has a *single* publisher interested.

I submitted a proposal to Dark Horse several years ago, and the editor rejected it. He said he "didn't understand" what I was trying to do, even though I'd spelled everything out in minute detail. And not only did they reject my proposal, but soon after they announced plans to produce a "Buffy" series. Ooohhhh, I was pissed! I know there are a lot of Buffy fans here, but IMO Buffy is one of the most asinine concepts in history. The very idea that my stuff was rejected while Buffy was accepted made me want to drive to Milwaukie, OR, and beat some ass.

So I reworked the plot of the first eight issues into my novel--and named one of the main villains after the DH editor. (In fact, over the years I've developed a habit of naming villains after editors who reject my work ... and then I punish them.) I change the names just enough to keep from being sued, but if these people ever read my stuff, they'll crap peach pits.

So I definitely feel your pain. I guess having all those editors and publishers beating on me for ten years gave me enough mental calluses to keep me from getting ego bruises. Of course, it's also one of the things that turned me into such an asshole--believe it or not, I used to be a nice guy ... Anyway, one thing writers have to get used to is rejection. But hey, I've got a lot of fans here, which means that if a guy as mean as I am can be successful, why can't you?

I just looked at your web page, and hoo-ah! You've definitely got talent, both in writing and in drawing. I think somebody else mentioned it, but ... do you do commissions? Denis and I are looking for artists to do pics for our still-under-construction website. I wouldn't ask for Disney characters, since you seem to be nervous about that. It'd be a kick to see portraits of my original characters, like Jack Hammer and Otto Fellatio ....

Anyway, between the writing and the artwork, you're bound to catch a break sooner or later. I hope it's sooner. :)

Sylvia & SJ: Glad you liked the motel slogans. And you're right, it's sad but true. At least half the deliveries I make to motels start with me interrupting a couple in the act.

And thanks for wishing me luck with the novel. I'll need all the luck I can lay my hands on. :)

In fact, my thanks to all who have wished me luck and provided encouragement. It means a lot to me. Thanks.

The closest I've come for Star Wars is the Essential Guide books I referred SJ to, and for Star Trek, the best I've found is the Star Trek Encyclopedia (both book and CD-ROM) and Technical Manuals (for both TNG and DS9). I think www.yahoo.com has links to tech sites, but I'm not sure just how many. By the way...I would be eternally grateful to anyone who can snag me a really good pic of the Prometheus experimental assault ship from Voyager or the three-engined future Enterprise from the series finale of TNG...

Sevarius Jr.> While I was on vacation in DisneyWorld, I got my hands on some literature on what to submit to Disney Studios. For Marvel & DC, I actually strolled into their offices, being within close proximity to the offices & knowing their addresses helps, and just asked for them. As for Dark Horse, I got their info off of their website which I've linked here. I don't know if they changed it since it's been a while since I last bought Dark Horse Comics (why the Adventures of the Mask series lasted only 12 issues, I'll never know). I'm going to test it myself.

****BATMAN BEYOND SPOILERS*****
Pretty good episode today, with a nice little theme about drug abuse. It was good to see the return of the Venom steroid, and Bane, although he's just a shade of his former self (besides maybe Killer Croc, Bane was always the most physically imposing of Bats' rogue's gallery, IMHO). It was a nice touch throwing in the suspicion on Terry's Mom's part that he was a user. This was a nice little episode, a nice change from the usual meet supervillain/fight supervillain/beat supervillain story. AND it focuses more on Terry, which it should do in the first place.

Plus I was....um, "invited" to a "special party" by some...um, let's call them "ladies of the evening".....within five minutes of checking in. I was flattered, of course. ;)

Stephen> HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Welcome to all new-comers

Dumb Costumers- Gee, which story should I pick? Soo many to choose from. Okay, my family is in the motel business and I am in charge of the office- here goes one of the first of my expieriences. This couple walks into the office of the motel and say that they have a reservation, So we take care of everything and they go up to the room. Once they see the room, they hurry back down and say that is not the room they wanted- they wanted the cheapest room we could offer and this room has a full kitchen and two double beds, it is also the oldest room we have and is seperated from the rest of the motel. They argue with me that the room is an apartment and they want thier money back- or they want the CHEAPEST room, I keep trying to explain that this room is the cheapest and then, finally, I ask them if they want the next cheapest- for only $20 more. Needless to say, they left and probably had to spend alot more on a room than the reservation was for.

Pistoff> Those Motel 6 slogans were awesome, hee hee, I laughed my head off.

Pistoff> Thanks for supporting my creative talents. The art's still my strong point, as a click on my name will clearly show, and so is video. I'll be getting together with my job counselor in a couple of weeks to put together some kind of portfolio to show studios.

I should let you know that I'm a very sensitive person who can't take rejection very well. That's pretty much what held me back from showing anyone anything. It's an issue of allowing my emotions to rule rather than my intellect; a sort of 'id-ego-superego' psych thing (similar thing that makes me want to kill 'the tyrant'). I've read the submission guidelines for Disney, Marvel, DC, and Dark Horse Comics even several times, and each time I read it, it always looked bleak to me. I actually submitted something to Dark Horse, based on a sample script that they sent me, and they turned it down. I decided to send some original stuff, and I haven't heard from them since, and this was at least 2 years ago. It's my own self-doubting that's kept me from sending stuff, but I'm working on that with my job coach.

As for the "girlfriend" story, it's pretty much going to be the same thing as the "psychotic rant", like a lyric poem. All that "kill my boss after he's fired me only to be shot down by pursuing cops and become a ghost running from the spirit of death" was just stuff I was feeling, which is basically what lyric poetry is all about, according to "Hercules & the Techno Greeks."

My girlfriend is writing the story part, but that's personal info to me. I wish she was here tonight. :\

I seriously doubt that Disney would be doing anything with TGS or adopting its stories if it got "Gargoyles" back on the air. Greg Weisman makes it a point never to read Gargoyles fanfic, so that he won't risk getting sued by a fan who claims that Disney stole a Gargoyles idea from him. (Not to mention that he doesn't really want to read it anyway, since he feels that it's as if somebody else was playing with his toys).

Robby> Thank you for responding on my comment about Demona and Macbeth having children.

Stephen> Happy 30 Birthday

Yes Gargoyles won!! Hopefully Disney knows about this and they will bring the show back on the air. If they ever do they should make alot of the TGS episodes because the staff do use alot of Greg Weisman's master plan and the storys are realy great.

Well, it is offical...

As of 10:22am, CST, on this day - April 10th, 1999 - this garg-fan has become 30 years old today. Sad thing is, I don't get to open presents until tomorrow, when my wife has a free day so we can go out to celebrate... but, the nice thing is, we're going to the Outback Steakhouse to make up for it!

Will have more to say later... Maintain and Check Six!

*jogs in wearing her running outfit and a racer's number 137*

Hey all! I just got back from a 5K run. I did very well in my opinion. I got about 35 mintues which was better then last year (38 minutes) but not as good as my first year (28 mintues). It was fun, but I was getting pretty damn tired of hearing the same damn jock song over and over since it's the only one I have that will keep my adrenilin(sp?) going.

YAY!!! Gargoyles won!!!!!!!!! *does some backflips* (ahem) now that I have that out of my system, I think I'll go take a shower and then work on my writing. Later!

*jogs out*

Wow the room's still up??

P-Fay: Glad to hear the play's salvagable. And the story about you meeting your girlfriend sounds promising, too. Feel free to email it whenever you're done. My anti-social email doesn't handle file attachments, so send it to my service provider's email (yes, I finally got the damn thing working :), phred@koalas.com.

And whatever you decide to do for the future, I wish you the best of luck. If you still have a desire to write, go for it. One thing I've learned from ten years of editors and publishers kicking me in the ass is NEVER GIVE UP. It took this long, but a publisher is finally showing some interest. The way my luck runs, they'll probably reject it, but hey, it's a nice deviation from the routine. ;)

Again, good luck, whatever you do. You've had to put up with a lot of crap at work. You deserve a break.

Pistoff> The play's not a total loss. I still have my characters and the general idea of where I'm going with them. My girlfriend's also giving me support. I had already given her a start of an outline that I fell off of when my heart was no longer in it. Being a writer herself, she sorta... acosted me... into going back to it.

As a turning point to my psychotic rant, which I saved, I was thinking about writing the first time I meet my girlfriend in person at Dallas and what would follow. I probably couldn't post it here being of a rather "mature" nature, but I'd be happy to share it with y'alls by email once I get it down on the electronic notepad. ;)

Speaking of Dallas, is there anyone here who attended last year's Gathering? IF so, I've got a video that was taken at Gathering 98 you might enjoy. Send email to see how you can get your own copy.

Say, wasn't this comment room going down this weekend, or does thhat only apply to S8?

For that matter, will I ever find my way back to s8?

Hey!!!
Just got back from Panama City yesterday night, of course I'm tired, yall know I was out there partyin like there was no 2morrow! I spent 2 and a half weeks down there, I had/have a job when I was/am there...., Aww man, it was great, I had to come home and relax. I may go back in another 3 weeks. But hey, if you're gonna be down there, come see me I'll be on Front Beach Road somewhere between the Surf High Inn and the Waffle House! I'll be the only dude with pants on, long black hair and holding a can of Miller Lite, you can catch me between the hours of 8pm until 4 am roaming the Strip..., but right now I'm taking a break from Spring Break..., I may just go ahead and decide to live down there. But I don't know, the hurricane stuff kinda scares me. Ohh, and for those interested, Everclear will be at Club La Vela April 30th! (So they say anyway). Well, just wanted to say Hey and that I'm back..., I'm going to sleep now. Bye!

I'm counting on my novel to get me out of the pizza delivery business before a mugger kills me or something. Writing could be your answer, too, judging from the quality of your "rant." If you ever decide to take a stab at writing and want feedback or suggestions or comments or whatever, just let me know. :)

Celano: Well, when you dice a human body into tiny pieces, there's a lot of blood spilled. Unless you have some sort of high-tech contraption that exsanguinates the body first. Otherwise, you'll need sponges to clean up the mess. And a lot of Pine-Sol ... ;)

Thanks to everyone for the "get well" comments. I'm back, it turns out that I wasn't dying; just have a really, REALLY bad week. Today I rested and now I'm well enough to go to work...perfect.

We Won! We are the cham-pions! WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS! No time for lo-sers because we are the chamions! (Everyone!)
By the way did anyone read the stuff that doctor guy wrote about why Gargoyles won?

Star Wars info-You know if I found a book or a website that gave every piece of information about all the Star Wars and Star Trek ships I would be in Heaven. Why don't they make one? A lot of people would pay good money for them.

Well I got work in the morning so see ya later!

And if I ever get a better job, it'll be one where I don't have to answer to a tryant boss, one where I don't provide a service to customers, one that is not food service related, and one where my creative talents are readily accepted without second thought. If anyone knows of a job like this, let me know.

WELCOME to all the new people in here! I think there's a lot so I won't list names. I'm really cool, except when talking about school, so don't be afraid to talk with me :)

Gargs won? I really don't know if that's a good or bad thing. It's a good thing cuz maybe Disney will put Gargs back on the air or do something else with it. It's also bad because, what if they really do make new eps? This whole TGS storyline will seem like a dream plot, and then Disney may decide to write things differently. What if Brooklyn never went on his timetravels? What if Demona never put a little faith back in humanity? And not to mention that Madoc and the great cast would cease to exist! I hope nothing suprising happens, cuz I love all this and you guys too much to know anything different :)

Fleur: Thanks! And as for my customers, well, I don't damage them physically unless they take a swing at me ... which a few have done. But mostly I just rip into them verbally. It's very cathartic. :) Fortunately, I usualy let my fanfic character, Jack Hammer, do the venting for me. And if I'm really pissed, I go into one of the CRs and whack a Power Ranger. There seemes to be an endless supply of them ...

P-Fay: Hi! Nice to see you in here! And that psychotic rant was beautifully written. As somebody else in here said, you should consider writing fanfic ... or maybe even do a "regular" story or novel and submit it to a publisher. You never know, you might sell it, and that would be your ticket outta that $h!thole. And as for killing your boss--just cut the body into pieces small enough to flush down a toilet and you should be fine. Oh, and be sure to have plenty of sponges handy ...

Robby & Deuce: Congrats on your promotion, and best of luck to you both!

JEB: Thanks to you, as well! :)

Argent: (re: customer story) Yikes! People like this should be in some kind of a home, wearing straight jackets and being fed apple sauce.

Glimmer: Ah, the Armegeddon stuff is starting, eh? One thing I'm curious about--if it's supposed to happen at midnight on New Year's Eve '99 ... will it be midnight in New York, or midnight here in Oregon? Will I be able to watch it happen three hours early on CNN? Obviously I'm not worried about it. And as for Armegeddon ... heh, the best scene in that movie was the one where Keith David calls Bruce Willis and his costars a bunch of retards. :P

Kitainia: Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! We'll have the next episode done as soon as possible ... but if things remain as hectic and just plain f--ked up as this past month or so has been ... We'll do our best, though. Sorry about the cliffhanger, too--it was one of those things that came up on the spur of the moment and we just went with it. Again, I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the feedback!

Wilek: (re: Light Years) I may be getting this one mixed up with another animated movie, but I think Isaac Asimov wrote it.

And now for another STUPID CUSTOMER STORY ...

Well, actually, this is more aggravating than stupid ... anyway, I had a delivery to room 207 of the Red Lion Inn. I knocked on the door. No answer. Knocked again. Waited. Finally, this guy opens the door ... and he's in the process of pulling up his underwear. There's a woman in the bed, sheets pulled up to her neck, and this guy has his underpants around his knees when he turns the door knob.

What's with these people? This happens far more frequently than I'd prefer. What goes on in these motel rooms--"Gee, honey, he said it'd be half an hour. I think we got time for a quickie." Ugghhh!! If I can't participate, I sure as hell don't want to watch!

Therefore, I bring you this list of slogans that were considered but ultimately rejected. They're actually for Motel 6, but what's the difference, really? Enjoy ...

Top 16 rejected slogans for Motel 6


16. We're working on that smell thing, too.

15. Because you deserve better than the back-seat of some car.

14. As seen on "COPS"

13. If We'd Known You Were Staying All Night, We'd Have Changed the Sheets

12. Not just for nooners anymore.

11. We left off the 9, but you know it's there.

10. You rented the room, now buy the video.

9. Sure, you could stay someplace nicer, but then you wouldn't have money left over for a hooker.

8. We'll leave the Lysol for ya!

7. Hey, we're not the Ritz, but just try bringing your secretary there on *your* salary, pal!

6. We don't make the adultery. We make the adultery *better*

5. It's Hookerriffic!

4. Official Lodging of the 1998 Florida Marlins

3. Blurring the line between stains and avant garde sheet art since 1962!

2. Cheap and Easy ... Just Like Your Mother

and the Number 1 Rejected Motel 6 Slogan ...

1. We put the "Ho" in "Hotel"

****WARNING: WE GOT RP RIGHT HE-YAH!***
Anton Sevarius wiped the sweat from his brow with the back of his hand, and stared at his handywork. The Phalanx had been keeping him working on the virus designed to assimilate all life on Earth round the clock, giving him precious few breaks. A Phalanx drone approached him. <<Is it ready?>> it asked.
"If you mean ready for testing, yes. I'm not sure whether it will work or not. I haven't had time to significantly study your genetic structure."
<<Test the virus NOW.>> the drone ordered.
Slowly, Sevarius injected two test subjects, an Egyptian man and woman who had been kidnapped from a nearby village, with the newly formed virus. Almost instantly, the two began to assimilate, their bodies changing into the motley black and yellow of the Phalanx. But almost as quickly as the transformation began, it ended, with the test subjects....dissolving into a pile of brackish goo.
<<Virus ineffective,>> the drone said casually. <<Result is the extermination of available test subjects.>> It turned back to Anton. <<Resume your work, Doctor.>>
Sevarius quietly went back to work. But not before he made a mental note to himself to see how that strain of the virus worked on a Phalanx subject. He was going to stop these Phalanx bastards, that much was certain.....
****PAUSE RP*****

First off, I'd like to thank everyone (and I do mean everyone) for the OVERWHELMING support you guys have given me and my sister during this tough time. I talked to her today, and she's doing better. Without getting in too deep about the specifics of her illness, the next few days will continue to be tough on her, but hopelfully after that she'll be okay. Thank you all for your prayers and/or support, they mean more than you can imagine. :)

Brooklyn not telling the future: Arrrrgh!! It's starting to drive me crazy! You just know he has tons of secrets rollin' around in that noggin' of his....and we don't get to hear any of them! Well, not yet at least. ;)

Fleur: Hey, you like Rammstein? I think they're pretty great myself. I can't understand a word they're saying, but it's definitely some good party music. A lot better than most of that techno-disco junk out there today.

Aaron: I believe the movie soundtrack you're referring to is for "Lost Highway", not Strange Highway. Lost Highway is a David Lynch film, and as such is extraordinarily dark, confusing, and just plain creepy. It's a cool movie though, very noirish, and genuinely odd at times. Robert Blake is enough to give anybody the heebie jeebies.

Wilek: Thanks for the Star Wars info, it's appreciated! :)

P-Fay: Hmm, I think some Prozac in the morning will help you out. Just do what I do, sprinkle them over your Frosted Flakes.
Oh, and watch out for Celano! ;)

Ben Church: Hey, I've read some of his stuff before. He's pretty good, and he *is* good at crossovers. He's written a couple Garg fics too, plus his page has one of the extremely rare/hard to find Brisco County Jr. fan fics on it. His site is at www.geocities.com/Area51/Dimension/9028/index.html, or click on my name.

SW Arcade Game: Oh God, the amount of quarters I spent on this thing. Nothing like the feel of flying your own X-Wing, taking out the Imperial scum! Know what was the coolest about it? That odd sound it made when your lasers fired. Coooooooool!

In celebration of the fact that Gargoyles won the USA vote, I am throwing another of my big parties. However, since the CR will be shut down for the weekend, I can't start it immediatley. And since my mansion has been blown up for the 36th and last time, and my yellow submarine can't house a thousand people, the next one will be at a different location! More on this come Monday...

Also, the fact that the CR is getting two people to replace Dumlao simply means Deuce can't clear the room on Sundays. Robby has no useful skills for room administration! He's just up late on Sundays for the room wiping!

Coyote> Thanks for the vote of support. I'll be looking forward to your email soon. As for writing fanfic, there was this one character I've created who gets to control his dreams and interact with Disney characters, and one of the stories was an Aladdin fanfic. Alot of folks liked it. Unfortunately I erased it after an arguement with someone who didn't want his character included in a play I was writing, and I pretty much gave it up. I'm more of an artist. When it comes to writing, I just like to make up good ideas.

If you want to see a real writer, just stop by the GFW fanfic archive and check out the stories by Kellie Fay. ;)

DEUCE and ROBBY - Congratulations on your new positions! (Just out of curiousity, who is now going to be working on the Illustrated Quotes section? Is DumlaoX still working on that or has it passed onto the two of you? And if it has then is it going to be appearing soon? I posted a question about this earlier but didn't get any answer.)

JEB - It's true that Angela doesn't look EXACTLY like Demona but you have to admit that they do look very much alike. Seeing them standing next to each other, a light should have gone off in Madoc's head, and he should have thought to himself "Why DO the two of them look so similier?" After all Elisa was able to see a connection within five minutes of seeing her in AVALON 2 and Demona wasn't even standing next to her at the time.

(I remember watching THE RECKONING for the first time and during the first Angela/Demona scene where she says "I'm told there's a resemblance.", I started laughing and saying "The HELL you say!")

ARGENT - I don't think that Angela looks more like Goliath. And if anything it's easier to see a connection between her and Demona than her and Goliath. She has Goliath's coloring (and more peaceful state of mind) but she looks much more like Demona.

[Wilek hits a button on his remote, and the screen changes to show the proffered F-117 in flight...and a TIE Phantom decloaking and shooting it down.] We have a *lot* better gear. In fact, if we were so inclined, we could overthrow every government on Earth. But we'd rather not bother with it; we're having too much fun here in the CR. :P

Cliff> Welcome! Lots of newcomers lately. And I think you can contact the TGS staff at the main TGS website, tgs.gargoyles-fans.org.

Gargs won the poll?! YEAH!!! WOO-HOO! Maybe Jim can throw one of his famous parties to celebrate! :D [Dark Mage Wilek: "As long as we don't get into yet another fight with Japanese movie monsters (which, by the way, looked like rejects from Power Rangers; it's no wonder you prefer the new Godzilla) or mutated Pokemon or whatever. Do you have any idea how long it took me to get that muck out of my hair when Alucard blew up Legion?"] Nag nag nag. We had fun, didn't we?

Dumlao X> You're leaving TGS already? Dang, that came out of nowhere! Well, happy retirement...and enjoy being a slob like us! :P

Sata's Lost Child?> Hm...Sata lays a third egg, something happens to separate it from them...and it grows up never knowing its parents. The clan happens to trip over it, and fun ensues. Interesting concept...

Deuce and Robby> Congratulations on your new jobs! :D You know, I wonder if there's any particular meaning to the fact that it'll take two ppl to replace Dumlao...Ah well, I'm sure you'll perform admirably. :)

P-Fay> Hey! Glad to see ya here, you usually keep to the main room! Oh, and we're quite a lot more insane here, so I think you'll have fun. ;) Oh, and interesting rant; very well-written. You ever consider writing fanfic?

Once, I tried to turn on my computer (one of my previous ones), and it couldn't access the hard disk. Turns out lightning had fried part of the motherboard. Strange, since I had a surge protector. Since this one was one of those where the motherboard is welded to the case, I had to get a new case, and a lot of new hardware to go with it.

Coyote> Mind keeping an eye on your cats? :P

Aaron> <<Anybody who likes MST3K, anthropomorps, fighting games, mecha, high explosives,(Peebo!), manga, the Evil Dead films(The pervert skeletons make several appearances), cartoons, and more general weirdness they you can shake a stick at would like Gold Digger>> For a CR dweller, this is redundant.

Has anyone here ever seen a rather obscure animated film (anime? I couldn't tell) called 'Light Years'? I caught the last few minutes. Weird, weird movie. But fun--I mean, you haven't lived until you've seen a brain the size of Castle Wyvern. :P Pretty big names associated with it, too--Glenn Close, Christopher Plummer, Terrence Mann...I wonder why I've never heard of this thing. :/

**RESUME RP!**

["...so that's what's happening." This from Agent Rho, who's just called the command staff to a meeting. Wilek: "Alright. Send a few landers with battle droids and STAPs to the major TV and movie studios; no matter how bad these productions are, we can't allow Guod to get his hooks into an even bigger army."

SJ: Your sister has my thoughts with her.

Deuce: Once again, thanks for your explanation. :)

Wilek: Those movies, while maybe not low quality, are of a lesser caliber than TLK, *definitely.* And especially if he does any of the other two *horrible* DTV sequels that Disney's done ("Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas" and "Pocahontas II" come to mind. Eccchhh ...)

Cliff: Welcome to the room. As for contacting the TGS staff ... well, a lot of us (myself included) post to this room. But if you're talking about submitting stories, you're probably better off waiting until we hold another casting call.

Kyryn: Thank you for your assessment.

Doug: I've been meaning to pass this one along ... if you get mail from a guy named Ben Church, I referred him to your fics. Figured they'd be in his tastes, since he's written fic that has merged tons of universes together. (Read one, "Armageddon." It combines Gargoyles, the Marvel Universe, and ... are you sitting down? ... Terminator. :)

And now, my friends ... I'll see ya in the CanClanChat tomorrow!

*waves to Kyryn & JEB* Hi. I'm still here. Don't know how, don't know why, wonder if I'll find a way back to the regular CR. While I'm here, I may as well vent on my day.

***WARNING: The following vent contains psychotic imagery of violent vengance that could be mistaken as an acutal planned RL event, no matter how outlandish it may seem. Those with sensitive constitutions should look away.***

Why is it every time I blow up at the boss I feel like I won't have a job tomorrow? I always dread that as the worst that could possibly happen.

I see myself returning to the office the next day after being "wrongfully terminated," according to my thinking, with a baseball bat and a pair of clippers. Slowly, I march down the hallway, ignoring the voices of my former co-workers.

I enter the office of the tyrant that fired me. He's on the phone as he always is. I do not see his motioning to me that he's on the phone, nor does he see me cutting the phone wire that disconnects his line. With fire in my eyes, I raise my Louisville Slugger and smite him with bone-shattering force until he's nothing but a bruised, beatened, blacken mass of flesh.

By this time, the police have arrived. They are my enemies. I have read of their corrupt actions against mere citizens. I will not become another victim of their authority. I struggle and fight against them as their oppressive grasps restrict my protesting limbs.

Finally, I bite my way free and flee for my life. I am conscious of what I have done, yet I do not care. The real criminal is the tyrant who has taken my life; a life I have worked for over a year to attain and nurture to fit my creative talents. All I needed was a chance to survive in this hellish nightmare called reality and make a difference, but that chance has been wrenched from my soul by a short-tempered psychotic who one day could steal more lives from the office until there was nothing left. The rest of the job lies with the blue demon as he sends his lead piranahs to finish me off.

I am nothing more but the wind. A tormented soul wandering thru the mortal plane choosing neither heaven nor hell and fearing them both. Once a fugitive from "law & order", now a fugitive from Death. The authority here wears a long black cloak and carries a sickle, hunting me down like an animal. In my state of nonbeing, as in my former state of being, I wanted nothing more than to be left alone by those who disliked me. I fear I'll never be left alone.

There is celebration in the place where I used to work. They've finally gotten rid of the black spot that kept the business from operating like a normal business, despite the fact that it's not. I can hear their cries of joy. Anger grows deep in my heart tho' I knew they'd feel this way about me regardless. LIttle do they know that the dragon from northern Arizona, whom I was proud to call my girlfriend, now lies in a cave crying her button-black eyes out over the loss of the only one she ever could love. They had a destiny together. A dream that they could meet for the first time and love each other untill the end.

The end has come, but only for one.

***END PSYCHOTIC RANT***

If you were brave enough to read the above vent, and would like to share your insight, or maybe provide some comfort as my girlfriend will not be OL for the entire weekend, please feel free to email me, or if you have my name in your ICQ list, message me. I could use a friendly word or two to get me thru the weekend and pray that I can return to work Monday with a clear conscience.

GAH, am I depressed. :(

Kitania> DumlaoX gets to keep his pic, and Robby and I will eventually get our own. Note how I say _eventually_. (It's not a priority right now; we've got other stuff to worry about).

JEB> ["I've used Lynx and been able to type in URLs..."] Yeah, but have you ever used it on a guest account, with 90% of the features locked out? You develop a fondness for search engines, let me tell you.

I guess that'll be all. As a matter of fact, that might be all until Monday (I have an excessively busy weekend ahead). I may drop in later tonight, though: my parents are going out and I'll be online for a long time.

**RP HERE**

The screen comes on with the steppes of medieval Prussia, where Atilla the Hun is leading his huge army towards war and conquest. Suddenly a portal opens in front of them and Borgis and Butt-Borg step out, their fellow Borgs behind. "Excuse me, sir," Butt-Borg says as the army stops and looks at them. "Are you Atilla the Hun?" "Yes," Atilla answers. "Who are you?" "They have to be plague victims!" a Hun soldier hisses. "It looks like they carry the Black Death!!" "We're, uh, gonna ass-im-uh-late you, or something," says Borgis. Atilla scratches his head, not understanding what they're talking about. Finally he shrugs and commands, "These people are wierdos. I hate weirdos!! Kill them!!!" The army of Huns charges to attack the Borg, but in the midst of battle are of course all quickly assimiliated. "Uh, okay, we have an Army now," chuckles Butt-Borg. "Let's get them back to Master Guod."

Meanwhile, the Onslaught is still driving through Colorado Springs, heading for the Broadmoor. Jammer slows down at a red light, and then Big Jake and Traveler pull in front of him. "Doug!! Kitainia!!" Jake yells. "I've been looking for you!!" "Let me guess," Kitainia says, leaning out the truck window. "You're Big Jake." "That's me! And this here is Traveler." "Hi guys!!" Traveler waves. "Traveler," Doug smiles. "Your pal Shallow Mouth told us you were here." "Really? How's he doing?" "Just fine, boss!" SM calls. "You and Jake get in the truck, I'll bring you up to date." "We have some questions for you, Traveler," Doug says as they get in. "Can they wait? I've just been rescued from a life-or-death situation and need to lie down!" Doug and Kitainia look at each other and roll their eyes. "Alright," Kitainia sighs. "You two get in the truck. Jammer, turn around and start heading for Washington. We don't have a second to waste." Jammer nods and turns around, Jake and Traveler hop into the trailer, and as they start driving east, Kitainia turns to make a CR post.

**PAUSE RP**

Hi all!! Surprising news. Today our newspaper critic gave GO the review it deserved. It got four stars, a great review, and he encouraged everyone to see it. The guy even called it Pulp Fiction's "bratty little brother." So I was wrong about what the critics would do to this movie. You now have even more reason to go see it and enjoy.

USA Voting: We won!! We won!!! <mad celebration antics> Hope this does good things for Gargs.

Blue: The Star Wars game is really cool, you have to try it. The format is like no other game's (it's a mix of shooter, interactive dogfight, and lightsaber duel). Hope you get to play it soon. :)

**BEGIN SPOILERS FOR PISTOFF'S LATEST**

Pistoff, Wyrmwolf: Doug and I enjoyed "Shared Memories," thanks for the entertainment. Good development on Demona, Koz, Iris, and Japhia. I also enjoyed the plot and the flashbacks. The new villains were very interesting, too. I can hardly wait to find out more about their plans (and see the clan kick their butts, Brooklyn and Iris better team up to get that Walt jerk). Too bad you had to end it on a cliffhanger, I can't wait to see how things get resolved.

**THESE SPOILERS AND COMMENTS OVER**

Sick people: Hope you all get better soon. This includes Jaden, SJ's sister, and anyone else I've missed.

**START SPOILER-FILLED COMMENTS ON THE NEW TD EP**

Menagerie 2 was even better than Part 1. Great development on Brooklyn, Sata, Soul, and Haroun (especially in the end confrontation with Mesrour). I also liked the characters of Melchior and Darice, too bad we won't see more of them. Hope we see Li again, since we can. I don't think he was really developed much in this ep. But that's alright because overall there was a good plot and story. I give it a 9/10. Everything else has already been said.

**SPOILERS AND COMMENTS OVER, LOOK BACK NOW**

Coyote: The place I work is a corporate entity, too. I'm glad I have an understanding manager. <grin>

Fleur: You make perfect sense about Mulder and Scully. Thanks for taking part in the discussion and making me LOL.

DumlaoX: Heavy computer accidents? Uh oh, sounds bad. Hope you get back online soon. Will miss you.

Deuce, Robby: Congrats on your new status as room admins. Can't wait to see the great job I know you guys will do wiping the room Monday night. And your new pics. BTW, just out of curiosity, is DumlaoX going to keep his special pic (as admin emeritus, :)?

Kyryn: Nice job on the pic. The Ender Wiggin of evil dragonkind and the good female dragon he was recently trying to kill both look great. You can bet Doug will be asking you for another pic (of Jadriel and his dragon associates from the upcoming "The Hostage Part 2- Dragon's Game") very soon. <grin>

Christine: Loved "Masks." Xanatos and Fox's parts were hilarious. I'd say more, but this is a PG room.

Glimmer: Ha ha ha ha!! Ah, doomcriers. Can mankind produce any more hilarious hypocrites? :)

Hmm, I guess that's all for now. See you in the Can clan chat room this weekend. Later all!!

**BACK TO RP**

Kitainia ducks back into the truck, where she sees that Jake and Traveler have been brought up to date. "Those Washington bastards," Jake growls. "Count me in on your team." Kitainia smiles. "Coyote vouched for you, so welcome. Now, Traveler, about the questions we have for you,..." Suddenly the side of the trailer is raked with laser fire. "What the hell?" Doug asks as Jammer stops the truck and the Ravens leap out to confront whatever is attacking them. "Traveler!!" CC yells, firing her machine gun and scattering the others. "I've come to rescue you!!" "Ease up, CC!" calls Shallow Mouth. "We're the good guys, remember?" "See you, Ravens!" Traveler laughs, hopping into the vehicle beside the raptor-woman. "Have fun in Washington!" He and CC wave at the party and zoom away. "Damn it," Kitainia curses. "We didn't even get to reprimand him for almost blowing up NORAD." "I'll worry about Traveler," Shallow Mouth says. "It was hard, but I've learned how his mind works. I'll go catch him and bring him to DC." "Godspeed, Shallow Mouth," Doug says. "You sure you can chase him?" "Don't worry, he gave me a lot of upgrades. Like self-teleportation." SM pushes a button on his coat and vanishes. "Well," says Kitainia. "That's that. I guess we have more important things to worry about." "Right," says Doug. "Let's get on to Washington DC."

As they do so, a huge procession watches them leaving the city. It is apparently a traveling Shriners' Convention. "He's in there!" Captain Licreg shouts. "The target is in that truck!" The 'loth legions roar in anticipation as they storm down towards the Onslaught. (Uh oh) To be continued, screen goes blank.

I just recieved a flyer in the mail about a Revalation Seminar. Across the top in big orange letters is ARMAGEDDON NOW! TIME IS RUNNING OUT FOR PLANET EARTH!
Then it talks about finding insights into the future and about the realities of tomorrow.

KYRYN: I like the pic- (Jewel*D chatters something at Argent, who translates:)- and so does Jewel*D. :)

Dumb Customer Stories> I have one! My mom got in line at a Wendy's. The conversation between the customer and the cashier went something like this.
LADY: "I'd like a baked potato with sour cream and chives, then I'd like another baked potato with sour cream and chives, but without sour cream and without chives."
CASHIER: "You mean a plain potato?"

Argent> Athens. A college called Concord. You know it? :)

Video Games> I used to be a video game fiend in my elementary school days. Now, I'll play my bro's games occasionally- I like N64 stuff best, esp. Goldeneye and Super Mario Kart 64. Sega Saturn was pretty good too, and the older systems still have their charms (SNES, Sega
Genesis, NES) Never was a big arcade game player, tho.

Coyote> Ah. Thanks for the info. :)

Becka> Welcome! :)

Zath> Will do.

Robby> <<Heh heh...This is how I KNEW I was gonna love my English teacher last year.. First day of school he said we were going to watch MacBeth, and he showed us a clip. From City of Stone. Heh heh.>> *blinks* Really? Wow. :)

Pistoff> Good luck getting your novel published.

Airwalker> Angela doesn't look EXACTLY like Demona with different coloring... her hair and browridges are also different, and her build is ever-so-slightly lighter.

Stormy> Well, it's a poem IN a book. <:) And yep, read the footnotes, which helped some. Y'still gotta admit it's a strange poem, tho.

Cats> My cat, Timothy, is rather unstable. He can be Mr. Affectionate one minute, and biting and clawing at our legs the next. And there's no real pattern. *shrugs* C'est le Chat. :)

Jonathan> Sure. Can't guarantee it, but I hope I can post it this weekend.

DumlaoX> Well, goodbye- you were one of the best on the staff. It's a pity- but no surprise- that you've retired. Glad you'll still be around. :)

Robby & Deuce> I have complete faith in your ability to do the job DX left for you. Good luck. :)

Christine> Bravo on "Dark Beauty."

Bad Customer Stories & Con Tips> These are all very interesting (and amusing when appropriate :).

The Poll> If we'd been the only ones who cheated, we wouldn't deserve to win. But since many others did, I don't care.
So, we won, eh? :D Now what?

Glimmer> Welcome! :) I haven't quite confirmed seeing it yet... but I have high hopes. :)

Robby> Hope you get better- sickness stinks. :/

SOROW> I dunno, I think Bluth's animation style would be too toony for a Gargoyles movie... maybe that's just me.

Kitania & Doug> Well, I don't think it'll be up THAT soon... a month or two, at least. But I'm pleased you're actually anticipating something I've written. Hope I don't disappoint.

Doug> Regarding the poetry preferences- Hear, hear.

Deuce> I've used Lynx and been able to type in URLs... maybe mine's some new version.

"The Day That The Gargoyles Died"> I read that soon after I joined the fandom in '97... depressing, but good.

Christine> LOVED the Bill of No Rights- forwarded to many of me Net friends.

Heather> Heh, looks to be an entertaining story. :)

Aaron Peterson> Welcome. :)

Sevarius Jr.> I read that story. Thought it was rather interesting, myself (one of first exposures to Sandman stuff). :)

Adult Gargoyles Pages> You know what? I have absolutely no interest in this site. Not a bit. No offense to those who _are_ interested, but a site so adult that you have to password it is a major put-off to me.

Unfinished fic > this is one thing I don't have much of a problem with (no mutterings about Dark Beauty 3, please, at the moment there ain't no such critter even in the planning stages so it _can't_ be unfinished). Actually, I've found that it's hard for me to juggle more than a couple of stories at a time. Keeping up with one fanfic, one novel, and one RPG is pushing it.

A note of explanation: my school, Austin O'Brien Catholic High, has raised over $15,600 for the Red Cross to help the Kosovar refugees. Thing is, this money was raised over the past 47 hours. That's about $331.97 an hour. $17.33 per student. And there's more coming on Monday.

I just want to urge all of you: if there's an organizating in your area that's sending money to help either people still in Kosovo, or the refugees brought over to North America, please donate generously. One dollar can feed one person for one day.

We get coverage in both local daily papers, the weekly tabloid, and all three major news stations. AOB KICKS ASS!!!!!

Oh, and it's quite likely that I'll be gone for the weekend. I'll return on Monday to try my first official wipe and play catchup. I'll finalize some things after school, and I'll be on AOL and ICQ for a little while before bed, so you can contact me if necessary.

I finished the second installment of Menagerie last night.
*****SPOILER******
I do have one nit with it: Li is described as "a long, wingless dragon" yet she flies. Okay, she could be using magic to fly, like Puck and other fay do, but if that's the case then why does she need a running start? Of course, the ferghana horse didn't need wings to fly, but I can't see a baby dragon getting up the same ground speed as an adult ferghana horse. All things considered, I liked The Sun and the Serpent better. It had more gargoyles in it.
*****END OF SPOILER AND NITS*****
I woke up at 5:00 this morning to take care of the usual and decided to check the USA Weekend score. How delightful. I almost wrote in right then but decided I wasn't coherent enough at that hour. I have enough trouble as it is.
Has anyone else looked at Dr. Will's final analysis of the contest? His concluding statement had me...um...ROTFLMAO Where is this guy coming from?...Unbelievable.

Fluer> You should definately check out Gold Digger. Anybody who likes MST3K, anthropomorps, fighting games, mecha, high explosives,(Peebo!), manga, the Evil Dead films(The pervert skeletons make several appearances), cartoons, and more general weirdness they you can shake a stick at would like Gold Digger. Issue 48 just came out this week, but never fear, Antarctic Press has paperbacked the first 28 issues, and the original four-part miniseries, and have plenty of them avaliable.

I kinda like Rammstein myself, from off the Strange Highway soundtrack. But what does everyone else like to listen to while they blast down the highway at 2x the speed limit

NIMH> This actually exists. It is the National Institute of Mental Health and does all kinds of research on the brain and mental disorders and diseases. Who's to say that somewhere out there there aren't a bunch of super-intelligent rats? Personally my own pet rats are intelligent enough, but it would be neat.

Zath> Cute drawing. Keep working on stuff. The only way to really get better drawing is to keep drawing. Ditto for writing.

Glimmer> Welcome!

Coyote> I know what you mean. I got zapped once when I was working on a computer and had left the phone line plugged in. Some kind of surge came down the line, fried the modem AND the motherboard, and arced to my hand. It jangled the hand hard enough to hurt. I've learned my lesson since then. Everything gets unplugged when I'm working on a machine, unless absolutely necessary. I'm glad your machine wasn't fried. BTW, you are definitely NOT an Otaku, friend.( I've met enough of them to know.)

***RL RP...(Now that's an oxymoron.)***
7:00am EST:
BRING BRING!
*Cyrway hits the snooze button on her alarm clock, realises its not her alarm clock, and picks up her phone.* Mrrrrrrph?
JENNIFER: You're giving blood today, aren't you?
ME: Wha....?
JENNIFER: You're coming in at 8...
ME: Huh....?
JENNIFER: I signed you up as a walkin...
ME: I don't know...I wanna get out of work early today...
JENNIFER: Please? I'll give you some new bed sheets.
ME: *looks down at her bedsheets, the only full-size ones she has, which are pastelly flowers.* And lunch money.
JENNIFER: Fine fine...just get here...
ME: Whatever...*Hangs up and looks over at Cal the Cat, who is laying next to her head.* Looks like I got screwed into that, didn't I?
CAL: It's revenge for what you did last night to me...
ME: What did I do last night to you?
*Cal sits up, exposing his new red harness around his chest and mid-section.*
ME: Hey, it makes you look like Conan...
CAL: It makes me look domesticated.
ME: You want to go outside, don't you?
CAL: Yeah...
ME: You know in Winslow there's a death rate for cats...1 out of every three are killed every year from getting run over by cars...do you want to get run over by a car like Christine's poor cat Sorala?
CAL: Well...no....
ME: Then you wear the harness.
***PAUSE***

Yes, I'm at work...with this huge bandage on my arm and a "Be Nice To Me: I Gave Blood" sticker on my tee-shirt...ack...

In other news, maybe, just maybe if everyone's good, I'll post "The Sword" today... :P I practically finished it...I like how it ended...

***RESUME RL RP***
Winslow High School Gym, 8:30am:
*Cyrway's laying on one of the tables, the needle in her arm. Gecko is above her, sitting paradoxally on the wall so that he is looking down at her.*
ME: What are you doing here?
GECKO: *shrugs innocently.* The Kraut and Brook are stoned...no one else to torture.
ME: Why don't you torture my cat?
GECKO: Not as much fun. *nods to the needle in her arm.* You know those things are barbed on the end...
ME: No, they're not! I've given blood before!
GECKO: *nods.* Then why do you think it's hurting more than usual?
ME: Now that you mention it...it does hurt...Nurse!
NURSE: Yes?
ME: I think my tornequet's on too tight.
*Nurse loosens the strap and tends to the other patients.*
ME: That's better.
GECKO: They put barbs on the end so they can get the blood faster, and if you die on the table, they don't bother unhooking you; they just drain you and throw you in one of those body bags over there. *Points to the black garbage bags over by the bleachers.*
ME: Those are the custodian's...
GECKO: Then why are they taking that guy in that diection?
*Two of the male escorts carry a third who is passed out to the cantina.*
ME: First time blood donor.
GECKO: Suuure...hey, you look like your in pain again...that barb really bothering you?
ME: NURSE! I'm having hallucinations!

well written, though a little more could have been written with lex and Broadway, but a very good story. Now one compliant. How bad of a leader is Goliath? I mean, come on, all the gargoyles should have iron weapons by now! Think of all the possibilities; iron gauntlets for punching and clawing, knives, hell powdered iron fillings for area attacks, not to mention bells! With Xanatos’s backing they can get anything!
***** end of spoiler and rant
I know I should have posted this Monday but well I been busy.

WE WON!!! WE WON!!! GARGOYLES KICKS ASS!!!

*reads DumlaoX's post* Man, I wanted to keep them in suspense! Oh, well. That was a little more abrupt than I wanted, but I guess it was unavoidable.

*pulls out a sword and disembowels DC* That's for ——ing around with Dumlao's computer.

Robby> Sorry about our abbreviated chat last night; we _have_ to talk tonight. I see that time is no longer on our side. With the CR going down this weekend and no time to prepare, we'll need to discuss our test wipe.

Yeah, it's true: Robby and I are now in charge. Don't expect huge changes, except for us to get our new pictures. When, who knows. I'd also like to announce an odd wipe time for this week: at around 1:30 room time this Monday, the CR will be wiped, and the new ep will be posted. Keep in mind it'll be strictly a test, so expect weird difficulties.

Coyote> Sorry about cutting you off, too. Check your e-mail soon.

*looks around, clutching his head in pain* Ohhhhh, man. What happened? Where am I? This isn't the regular comment room.

*looks at the title of the CR* TGS? Isn't that that fanfic version that took up where Gargoyles left off before the big "TGC" conversion...

Oh my. I'm not too familiar with TGS, and I don't even have that much time to read the whole room.

*The noises from Mr Dis’ office slowly come to an end, and Fleur walks out. She shuts the door behind her and grins evilly.
“You won’t want to go in there. It’s pretty messy.”*

Back again, (no thanks to the server, which was down a lot longer than an hour, thank you SO much Mr Dis.) and I’m sorry my last post was so out of date - I’d just started replying as I went along, then I got that lovely little ‘you’ve got ten minutes’ message, and had to leave right then, ‘cos when they say ‘ten minutes’ they don’t necessarily mean ten (60 second) minutes, they mean ‘Ah hell, they’ve had thirty seconds, that’s close enough.’

Tim Phipps> >And if they can't think of any sequals, they'll remake the classics! Look what they did to the Shining!< Actually, it was because of Stephen King that they remade the Shining. For some reason, he didn’t like the Kubrik version, so he had it re-done, with him as producer. But I agree with you. Kubrick’s version was _heaps_ better, and Jack Nicholson was sooo much better than whoever it was that did the other one.

Pistoff> > I've finally got a publisher interested in my novel.< CONGRATULATIONS!! I hope it all works out, and I'm glad you found the money to send it off without having to sell your kidneys or something. :) And no offence, but if I'd be forced to deal with the idiots you do in your job, I'd have committed serious bodily harm by now.

Ariana> Have fun in Washington!

Traveller> Are you a Rammstein fan too? Du Hast is _the_ best song to play at extremely high volumes while driving down the freeway. :) (Even if it is cop bait. :( )

Stormy> > HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED A SCREWDRIVER TO ACCESS THEIR EASTER CANDY??? < I’m sorry, but I was ROTFLMAO when I read that.

Princess Estra> Have fun in California! And get well soon.

WELCOME BACK HEATHER!

Balkans> I’m not going to start making noise ‘bout this, but there is something that’s struck me, and that is that both ‘sides’ of the story are being told, so to speak. Gabriel, Kaioto, SJ, Aris, Traveller, Jonathan, and all those other people I’m sorry I forgot have all either informed me of stuff I didn’t know, brought up points I hadn’t considered, or put perfectly in words what I’ve been thinking. Thank-u. And an even bigger thank you for keeping the differences in opinion as exactly that and not indulging in a flame war.
SJ> >I'm sure other people feel just as strongly about their own countries.< *grins* I know I do, so don’t get me started on what a great country Australia is, or this post’ll be waaay too long. :)

Jonathan> Stupid customer story: *shudders* YUK!! That is FOUL. And it happens once or twice a week? Oh, you poor boy.

Wastelands> Oh. Goody. Another Wastelands. I knew nothing about TS Eliots ‘wastelands’, and only heard about Stephen King’s when I was about 3/4 of the way through ‘Welcome to the Wastelands’. I thought about changing it, but I decided the name Wastelands was perfect. I’ve never even read a SK story with his wastelands in it, although I've read a few of his other works. At the time it was:
Me: Stephen King stole the name of my place! The rat!!
*reads book jacket* This is a series, and it started in the 1980's you idiot. (or something like that. :))
Me: *quietly* Oh. Damn.

WELCOME BECKA!

Sylvia> Welcome back! > although I can't seem to find my brain< I get that alot. Have you checked under your bed? :)

Jaden> Get well soon.

Welcome Glimmer!

Robby> >Somebody do me a favor and kill Sli Sludge. **Cough**< *evil grin* Glad to oblige. *Fleur walks over to SS and eviserates him.* (Yes, I know it’s not as good as Wilek’s was, but I couldn't pass up a good excuse to use ‘eviserate’ in a sentence. :))

Mandi> National Day of Silence sounds like something I could take part in.

Welcome to Aaron Peterson and Athena!

SJ> I hope your sister gets better soon. I’m praying for you both.

Dumloa> Goodbye, Adminstrator extrodinaire. I understand your reasons, but you’d better keep coming back now, y'hear? <G> $BTW, your RP character is KEWL!$

Congratulations to our new adminsitrators, Deuce and Robby!!

TTFN!

Let the retirement/Congratulations party begin!!! >:)
*In a blur of delivery men, the CR is transformed - streamers, a stage, long banquet tables full of er, a banquet food (now isn't _that_ strange ;)). A big banner saying 'Happy retirement Dumloa' goes up above the main CR door. Two others appear above the stage, saying 'Congratulations Deuce' and 'Congratulations Robby' Somebody, probably risking life and limb, decorates the tree. *

SJ> I wish your sister well. I'll pray for her.

Our argument is trivial in comparison, and it was as much my fault. No need to mention it again.

Robby and Deuce> Congratulations for your new positions. DumlaoX, you did a fine job.

Sata's eggs> Um... I'm not certain I remember correctly. Are Ariana and Graeme 20(10)? If so and assuming no weird time-travel things took place so that the family was together at all times, the birth of the eggs should have taken place 10 years into Brooklyn's journey. Seven years had already passed before Brooklyn's departure from Egypt and a couple of years must have already passed since he met Sata. Which means it's about time Sata gets pregnant ;) I actually think this may be planned since in a recent ep (the one with Morgana) all of Sata's motherly instincts were on display....

But yes, an additional egg should exist by this time. Perhaps it was killed or lost, etc...

Ya wanna dance?

**Fires and blows Mr. D into a cloud of pink meat.**

Yer face, yer ass, what's the difference?

Just a little payback for the problems I had the other night ...

Anyway ...

We won?! Hot damn! Maybe Disney will get the message now.

Yeah, right. Still, it feels damn good.

Wilek: :P Glad I could provide a little levity ... :D

Christine: Bill of No Rights rocked! Thanks for sharing it.

SJ: Best wishes to your sister for a speedy recovery.

And ... "Naw, on second thought, they're just morons." Damn straight!

Stephen: "Wood." ROTFL!! My god ...

Okay, here's a quick one, regarding our Big New Yorker pizza--something like this happens quite frequently ...

Customer: "Umm, yeah ... uhhh, I want your New Yorker pizza."
Me: "Okay." **waits**
Customer: "Well? How much will it cost??"
Me: "What do you want on it?"
Customer (annoyed): "What?!"
Me: "What toppings do you want?"
Customer: "What can I get?"

At this point I'm thinking, "You can get f--ked, is what you can get!" But I remain calm ... sorta.

Me: "Any of our toppings. It's like a regular pizza, only bigger."
Customer: "Well, yeah, but what comes on it?"

At this moment a really disgusting comment pops into my mind, but somehow I manage to keep it to myself.

Me: "Any of our toppings. Just pick at least one."
Customer: "Well ... I dunno. Anything, I guess. I don't care."

Neither do I.

And never tell one of us to just put "anything" on your pizza. Last guy who did that got one with anchovies, spinach, jalapenos, arichoke hearts and chopped garlic.

:P

Brooklyn telling about the future- Dang, I wish I could talk about this some... Seems like a fun topic. Ah well... You all forget one REALLY important thing... We writers don't know 100% what is going to happen in the future, (Despite what we may taunt at times) and we don't want to write ourselves into a hole by stating publicly in the main series what Brooklyn knows! But you can assume the soonest he'll start leaking out definitive info is after Time Dancer ends a couple of seasons from now. So, how's this for an official, honest, non teasing answer?

Brooklyn will break down and tell the clan the truth some time in the future if he feels the need to. Heh.

Grandpa>Let's see what movies are on this evening: Casper, MacBeth...
Ruthie>She has a movie?!
Grandpa>She who?
Ruthie>MacBeth!
Grandpa>Ruthie, who do you think MacBeth is?
Ruthie>Ronald McDonald's wife.
HHHHHAAAAAAHHHHHHAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Airwalker> I have always wondered when the clan was going to have enough and force Brooklyn and Sata to tell the truth about their memories. Of course Brooklyn can't tell them anything about the future, but I really think that the clan needs some insight on what horrors he had to face and overcome through his travels. I mean really, he didn't just come back and everything's cool. I wish this would appear in TGS real soon. And think how Lex would react when he found out Brooklyn knew what was going to happen to him!

SJ> I will pray for your sister. I am very religious and I know that everything will turn out alright, no matter what happens :)

Nicodemus> I actually think that Brooklyn and Sata should have a hachling running around the castle right now. I absolutely don't know how it could come about, maybe they had another egg in the timestream and it was separated from the couple. Then it could suddenly appear in their time...I don't know. I guess I just really want to see how everyone would react to a newborn hatchling :) Talk about interesting scenes coming to mind...

**Robby walks in wearing a shirt that says in bold letters, "I am an Otaku!"**

SJ- I have no religion myself, but I'm hoping for your sis. (I didn't even know you had a sister...)

Nicodemus- There may be a third egg. Or Brook and Sata may have decided two kids is already too much. Maybe having twins screwed with that. Or you may be assuming Sata has kids way earlier than she actually does. Maybe none of those . I know the answer... Heh heh heh...

**WARNING- LAND BEFORE TIME 4 SPOILERS**

Wilek- As you may recall, Spike the Stagasaurous in the Land Before Time series was completley mute in the first movie. And was so again in the second and third. (Was again in the fifth and I'm assuming the sixth, I wouldn't know, I haven't seen it.) Basically what it comes down to is at a crucial moment, Spike yelled out "Duh... Duh... DUCKIE!!!" Between the fact that was the first word he said after nearly 5 horus of combined movie, you never saw i
