Oii... I know I said when the latest Timedancer episode came out that I had the posting problems on my computer fixed. And indeed, I have fixed the problems I had, but a few new ones popped up... So I can't post this week's episode just yet, Deuce isn't allowed computer access on Sundays, and I don't know where Patrick or Dumlao are. So, this week's episode will be delayed by a little bit, hopefully not long. I *WILL* clear the room at midnight however, and if anyone wants to vie for top ten, I'm including the appropriate music for a showdown. 8)

**BLAISE-ISM**
There is a strange sound at the CR door, a steady, low thumping. Dis, proving that he ain't too bright, opens it, and is immediately drowned in a sea of paper. Fleur, who is somewhat clumsily body surfing along the top of the wave, grabs hold of one of the Bouncer tree's upper branches as she goes past, pulling herself up and perching there while the tsumami of paper flows out the opposite door, taking nobody with it but Dis. Fleur, noticing the glares from the CR dwellers, decides to stay up the tree for now.
**END BLAISE-ISM**
Sorry 'bout that folks. Big Biology Essay due in one week. But I am now an expert on bacterial resisitance to antibodies (and scaring the living $h!t out of myself in the process - this stuff is like 'Outbreak' in reality).
Pistoff> *reads revenge tactics, gradually growing more and more awed* Wow. If I ever happen to annoy you, let me know okay? I wanna chance to apologise, change my email, my locks, move house, buy a new car and possibly, leave the country. :) Now excuse me. I have to go try some of them out. *maniacal giggle*
Wavelength> Don't know if you can read this, but farewell. You will be missed.
Heather> *heaves HUGE sigh of relief* I'm so glad your friends are okay. When I heard about those tornados, all I could think of was 'Who is the CR lives in Oklahoma?'.
JackaL> I'm almost amazed I'm saying this, but that dead puppy thing thing you wrote was very sweet.
>Is it possible to cut a vein and NOT go to the hospital, like in the wrist< Depends on how much you're bleeding. (As in, direct quote from my first Aid instructor: "If there is a red fountain gushing from their flesh, then I strongly suggest an ambulance is called.")
Cassandra> Banshee left the court in the episode 'Hazards', along with another main character. *sniffle*
Argent> Whoa, sounds like a bad school day. I've had two rather memorable ones of them myself. One was year 9, when a student got stabbed (saw the fight that started it, the wound, and very briefly, the weapon, but fortunately, not the actual stabbing). And the incredible thing was, it was RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE STAFF ROOM! Then a guy in our class just dropped dead in year 11. (Very tasteless choice of words, I know, but sadly, the most accurate. Seriously, I saw the guy about two hours before he died and he was perfectly healthy) The teachers were really shocking in that case too, rather like yours. They didn't tell us a god-damn thing until ten minutes before home-time, (it happened in the morning, about 10am), they even lied to us, saying he was very sick, but still alive, when they _knew_ he was dead. *growls, half angrily, half sadly.*
Star Wars> Of course people are going to be dissapointed if they hype themselves up so much. It's a movie, not a revelation from God! It'll only be enjoyable if you go in without riduculously high expectations. *muttering quietly* I will not get hyped up, I will only be dissapointed. I will not...* :)
Steve> *raises glass* To Mr Robert North, may he be Bubba's newest squeeze. (Stuff community service, but if he does plea bargain down to that, I'm hoping it's long and extremely painful.:) )
Coyote> *raises glass again* To mothers. *raises glass again* To Okami and Kyryn, hoping the wedding is going wonderfully, and their lives together will be equally wonderful.

**enters, switching out the candles again, this time with a candle imprinted with an octopus.**
And Ranford stands on his head for the shutout. Wings win ... AGAIN! **waggles eyebrows at SJ. ;)**
Spaceballs: Well, it appears that the consensus in the room is that you either love it or wish painful death upon Mel Brooks because of it. Myself personally, count me in the "love it" category.
S. Connery: Ahhhhh ... no, thanks.
SJ: That Sean Connery Cheese game sounds like the kind of thing you'd enjoy *only* when you're drunk. Or at least nearly as insane as most of us.
Tim: Good summary of the faults of Pat Robertson. That man scares me. If he ever gets into a position of power, then may God have mercy on us all.
Mandi: :) Thanks.
Monica Lewinsky on SNL: Heh ... my mom decided SNL was worth watching because of Ricky Martin (she's been in love with him since his appearance on the Grammys, but he only played one song last night ("Living La Vida Loca")). The part that was more fun for me were the little bits with Barbara Walters running around the studio looking for her to follow up on her interview.
**pulls out three two-liters of Vernor's**
Here's to all of the mothers in the CR, may this be a ost beautiful Mother's Day to all of you. **passes around the ginger ale for the toast**
Here's also to Kyryn and Okami, wherever they may be right now ... not like it's any of our business. If ya see this, Kyryn, may your marriage be long and happy. **everyone clinks glasses**
**WARNING! SPOILERS FOR "THE MUMMY" AHEAD!!**
For Mother's Day, I wanted to take my mom and grandmother to see "Midsummer Night's Dream." However, since it was put off another week, we saw "The Mummy" instead.
This one's a winner. In one fell swoop it managed to combine the classic style of '30s monster movies with modern technological advances in special effects, plot, and action. Brendan Fraser's character is one similar to Indiana Jones in intensity and action. And of course, there was a fair share of humor to temper the action ... and the scares ... and the scarabs. Ohh yeah, the scarabs, those earth-bound relatives of the piranha as far as the amount of time it takes for them to skeletonize a man. Plenty of scarabs to go around in this one. :)
But seriously, do yourselves a favor and go see this one. It was great.
**END SPOILERS FOR "THE MUMMY"**
And I'll be around here for a while. **sits down in the big chair, fixating on the candle, a slow, satisfied, hockey nut smile crossing his face.**

Stephen- answer to your question below
**REBOOT SPOILERS**
The reason there was a copy made of little Enzo is because at the end of the episode, the user rebooted the whole system. Anything that was saved and registered was brought back, which is why all the killed characters came back, de-virused. Anyone who was registered and still there had nothing done to them, because they were still registered, and their icons showed this, so they didn't themselves need to be rebooted. However, Matrix had his icon on "Game Sprite" mode, and so wasn't registered when Mainframe rebooted. A copy of the last saved version of Enzo was brought forth since Matrix wasn't registering and needed to be replaced, and hence, two Enzos.

***** BEGIN 1st HALF RP *****
[Scene opens in the Med-Bay of the "Big-Bird", as Jess and Big Jake are standing next to the still-wrapped body of DX...]
Jess is looking at the vital-sign monitors, her violet-colored eyes filled with worry for the mysterious mercenary. "I don't know if this is such a good idea, Jake..."
"We discussed this, Jess," Jake replies firmly. "DX knows more about the Ravens that we do at this point, and besides, nothing is going to happen to you while I'm around, okay?" He places a large hand on her shoulder, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "The worst that will happen is that you'll get a seven-day nap."
"Or I could kill him outright if I slip up," Jess replies, nodding at DX's body. "Still... you are right. Right now, he's our best chance to find out where the Ravens went to. Ever since we found out about the agent for Thailog, we've had no luck in getting back in touch with Doug or any of them."
Jake nods, "Then you'd better do that voodoo that you do so well, hon. I'll be here when you wake up."
Clutching his hand meaningfully, the elfin female motions him aside, turning to face DX's comatose form fully. She then brings her hands in front of her chest, her eyes closing as she concentrates her will... suddenly she chants a long, archaic verse of words! Between her palms, a bluish-violet light forms, filling the Med-Bay with a brilliant radiance. In seconds, the light is so intense that it flares out, sending beams of light shooting throughout the jet, and out through it's canopy...
***** PAUSE RP *****
For all the mothers out there in the fandom, "HAPPY MOM'S DAY!"....
SPACEBALLS> Ugh! I personally think Lucasfilm should have boycotted this one... and either sued Brooks for every cent he had, or paid to have that film destroyed. I can enjoy many of Brooks' other films: "Blazing Saddles", "Young Frankenstein", etc. ... But Spaceballs is the one I cannot, and will not stomach for as long as I live.
ANGELA NUKEM> Hmmm... I don't think Angela would do a lot of what's been shown here, but I do agree we need a kick-bootie cutie with an 'tude in a video game. Sure Lara Croft was appealing in her own, elastic-plastic, CGI way, but I'll love to see a real adventure-made woman get busy... Maybe Christine can sell her Tora Hawke character to a game company for development? :)
CHARACTERS GROWING UP> For me, It was anything and everything that was animated that I loved to pretent I was on a mission to save the world, or defeat the current villain of the day with.
REBOOT SEASON 3> Yes I loved the season ending <and the musical bit at the end>, but now I have to wonder, how come a second Enzo appeared? URG! Now I wish they had a Season 4!
B5 vs. DS9: To be honest, I wonder if some people are just looking for excuses to razz DS9, because B5 got canned after 4 or 5 seasons while DS9 ran for 7 seasons(?). Don't get me wrong, I loved B5 and I applaud JMS for his vision and talent as a storyteller, but to say DS9 blatently ripped off B5, story for story, to be honest sounds rather ludicrous!
Granted, some stories between the two have some similarities, and yes, the overall plot arcs of the Dominion and Shadow War can be claimed to parallel each other... but do you think the DS9 writers would really be so stupid to actually use B5 stories, albiet switched around to use different names, places, events, etc.? Not only would Paramount get slapped silly with lawsuits for plagerism, but it would effectively kill Sci-fi show productions for nearly every other show currently in the running now.
I've watched all of B5's seasons, and am slowly catching up on DS9's early seasons, and overall I can see no real major resemblance between the two series. Now, you can argue the big resemblance (stations, on the edge of space, next to a space-travel nexus), but lets look at the full spectrum here:
DS9:
- A space-station the Federation appropriated from the Cardasians (Ter-Rok-Nor).
- It serves as a spaceport, with only some primary weapon defense grids, and a few spaceships (runabout shuttles) for support and exploration.
- It is stationed next to an inhabited planet, which the native population supplies the security force for the station.
- A naturally-occuring hypertravel conduit (the wormhole) is nearby.
B5:
- A space station built by Earthforce (Terrans), backed by the League of Non-Alligned Worlds.
- It serves as a diplomatic "free zone" and a commerce point for aliens and humans alike; with a full contingent of military forces (defense grid, station armed servicemen, and fighter wings).
- It's stationed next to a relatively uninhabited planet, which houses a powerful computer/defense weapon; which can come to the defense of the station if needed.
- It's positioned next to a man-made hypertravel conduit (the jumpgate).
If you really look at the two, you can see there's a lot of difference between them.
TWIN-BLADE LIGHTSABERS> I'd love to get one of those, but... doesn't that type of weapon remind anyone of the Golden Lance from "Galtar and The Golden Lance" cartoon from Hanna Barbera?
ROBBY> Conga Rats, on performing in "Midsummers"! You got to play the Trickster?!? Cool! I'll bet it was better than Stanley Tucci's performance, but I'll be looking forward to seeing that movie... Coming from someone that's played "Polonius" (Hamlet), Banquo (Macbeth), and Cassius (Julius Ceasar), I can sympathize with all the work you put in.
Come to think of it, something just hit me: when we did Macbeth in junior high school, nothing bad happened to any of the cast or the crew, despite everyone's talking about the supposed curse of "the Scotish Play"... is that weird or what?
Well, with that done...
***** CONTINUE RP *****
Blinking furiously in the afterflash of the spell Jess just cast, Jake looks back into the Med-Bay. Sure enough, his companion is collapsed on the metal deck, seemingly not breathing...
"Damn!" Jake quickly kneels at her side, checking her neck for a pulse. A sigh of relief escapes his lips. "Whew! At least I don't have to defib you this time." He scoops Jess up into his arms, turning to deposit her on an empty bed.
Just then, a moan from the main bed in the bay attracts the big man's attention. He turns to see the body of DX slowly rising to a sitting position, the plastic wrap falling away like shed skin from a snake.
"Ugggh!"
"You okay, man?" Jake asks, coming over to his side.
The mystery man slowly checks his limbs, blinking as the memory of the past day or so comes back. "I... I think... so..." He turns his head, looking at Jakes face with a puzzled expression. "Who...? You're that big fella... right?"
Jake nods. "We didn't have time for introductions. Big Jake's the name. You sure you're going to be okay?"
DX slowly nods, taking in his surroundings. "I guess... but, just what happened to me?"
Just then, a deep, resonant voice fills the compartment; "THAT IS PRECISELY WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW."
Before Jake or DX can respond or react, they and the unconsious form of Jess vanish in a flash of eldrich-green light...
[The scene closes, fading to black, as the words "To Be Continued..." appear.]

Toon Disney> I plan on buying it over the summer and taping all the episodes, to replace my current collection, in which I'm missing at least half a dozen episodes of the original 65 (I don't have any TGC). And I originally tried to tape out the commercials to fit six eps on a tape. As a result, the episodes are all very choppy.
Sevarius Jr> That sucks about Buffy. I don't watch the show, but I can definitely identity with the situation. At my school, someone joked around with some friends about the shootings, someone told the administration, and he was suspended!

Quickies while I'm waiting for my laundry to be done.
Wilek> Yep, the media is insane. As for "Kindred: The Embraced" I got hooked on it when it started, and after its first and only season ended, was really disappointed. Melrose Place gets seven years of airtime and "Kindred" gets killed after one season? There is no justice. (Of course, the reason it was never renewed is because the lead was killed in a motorcycle crash a few years ago...)
Coyote> <<Yes, I've read all of the Landover books (except "The Tangle Box" ... never got a chance to read
it, but I did read all the others including "Witches' Brew.").>> "The Tangle Box" was all right. << Truth be told, I started reading them in junior high school ...*shuffles feet** and I do confess to having somewhat of a crush on Willow. >> Don't be embarrassed about it. I've had similar crushes before. :)

Pat Robertson>> Lately, I've been wondering if I have been ripping on Patty too much lately. Especially since I get picked on alot too. But too damn easy! And there's soo many good reasons:
He's a lunatic>> I think I know what you're probably thinking: Wait a minute Robertson's not a bigoted lunatic. He's a reverend who went to Yale law school. I suppose you might be right. I suppose that faith healing stuff on the 700 Club is pretty mainstream. Don't get me wrong, I DO believe in such things as telepathy and stuff like that. It's just that I believe that at least half of the people who claim to have thes abilities are lying. People or either too willing to believe or "too polite" to thouroughly interregate these people.
He's sexist>> In a fund raising letter sent to Iowans, Pat Robertson said the the feminism was not about equal right for women but it was a communist, anti-family movement to have women leave their husbands, kill their childern, practice witchcraft and become lesbians.
He' anti-semitic>> Robertson believes that Jews are conspiring to take over the world. Personally, I don't understand anti-semitism. Jesus Christ was a Jew, as many of his followers. Together they created Christianity. So doesn't that mean that Christianity is a type of reformed Judism?
He's the spawn of Satan>> People think that because he's a revrend, he must be a good guy. So what? Mary Manson went to Catholic school and look how he turned out.
If the Quarrymen ever had a spokesman, it would be Pat Robertson.

SEVARIUS JR. - Actually, they showed the real reason why Bruce Wayne gave up being Batman at the very beginning of the first episode; when one of the criminals that he was fighting decided to take advantage of his heart attack, he (Bruce) frantically picked up a gun to scare him off, and afterwards was so utterly horrified by violating his own "no guns" taboo as to decide to give up the life.

Wilek: Yeah, I know it's Angela. I think she'd want to see it just because he would look really funny doing a pole-dance. I imagine he would be extremely uncomfortable.

Wait--I've got a better idea for another stripper: Hudson.
Oh, almost forgot: I've got a Shameless Plug ... kinda, sorta. Well, not really. Actually, it's one of my older stories, "Sit on my Interface." I fixed some spelling mistakes and corrected one line referring to Purgatory's age. I had the idea that she was from Goliath's generation, but she's actually Hudson's age. (She appears to be in her mid-thirties because of a side-effect of the cloning process ...) May not seem like a big deal, but there's a plot point coming up that required me to straighten this out.

Sevarius Jr. is fumbling nervously with the Pokeballs that Argent has given him. "Let's see, which one to use....." SJ tosses a pokeball.....and a Psyduck pops out.
"Psy Duck?" the squat little fowl asks quizzically.
"Aw crap, that's my own personal pokemon...Um, I'll try this one. Pikachu, I choose you!"
SJ tosses the Pokeball, and instantly a cute little yellow Pikachu emerges. It has a fierce look (or as fierce as those cute little guys get), and stares determinedly at one of the Wicked Tribe. "Pikachu, thunder shock, now!" SJ calls.
"Piiiiii kaaaaa CHU!!!!!" the creature cries out, and unleashes a powerful electric bolt which fries the flying monkey, setting its fur on end.

Excellent episode today. Although the focus was kind of more on the villain, Inque, I didn't mind, because she certainly is interesting. I found it very sad that the man who was helping her, and seemed to care for her (don't remember his name) was so utterly used by her. I just wish that more of her background could have been divulged before they offed her (or seemingly killed her off). Also, I LOVED it when Bruce came out of retirement to don the new--and improved--bat suit. He looked cool as all hell, and he still had a few moves on him. I just can't wait till the truth as to why he hung up his tights is revealed. I have my suspicions that it involved the untimely demise, or at least the grievous injury, of either Robin or Nightwing, and that somehow Bruce is or thinks he is responsible for it. Great show.
And Superman was cool today too. They finally showed the Aquaman episode!
****END BATMAN BEYOND SPOILERS****
Bad News Buffy Fans: It looks as if the season finale may be postponed, because it deals with the Ascension, and Buffy and the gang have to arm themselves to stop it. Oh my God! Teenagers with weapons! It must be Littleton all over again! *Sigh* It's always wonderful to know that in this world of constant change, studios will continue to keep their heads firmly placed up their rectums.
Sean Connery: Welcome! Didn't know you were a Gargoyles fan!
BTW, ever play the Sean Connery Cheese game? Some local deejays came up with it. It's even dumber than "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon". The point of the game: Name a Sean Connery movie, then name a type of cheese, all the while doing a Sean Connery impression. Sound stupid? Makes no sense? That's the point! Trust me, the game is SOOOOOO funny when you're drunk. By the time you reach the the 11th or 12th film, and start to run out of cheeses, you'll be laughing your ass off.
***RESUME RP****
"I've got a way to get us out of this!" Scarecrow shouts to SJ. "But I'll need your help!"
SJ uses his Golem pokemon to bash a monkey out of his way. "You got it! What do I do?"
"See that big one!" Scarecrow pointed to the largest of the winged simians, the large one that had been their leader and had spoken to the heroes. "We need to grab him. He's the alpha male. We capture him, the others will stop fighting!"
"Easier said than done. Okay, let's give it a shot. Kari! Wilek! Everyone! Try to take down the big guy, but be careful, we just wanna capture him, not fry his monkey behind--although I certainly would love to! Ready? GO!!!"
And with that, the heroes all set their sights on the large primate, who bares its fangs in preparation for battle....

RP WARNING!!
**Belfast, Northeren Ireland
The Orange Duke is in a simpel undecorated church with teh evil Rev. Ian Paisley. Ian pushes a button releasing an orange painted image of Oliver Cromwell with two small horns protruding from his head and hooves in place of feet. Both "men" prostrate themselves before the statue as two orange horns protrude from their heads an dtehir own flesh becomes Orange. They then speak.
"O Grand Ayatolla Cromwell. We have started the Orange Hand in Memphis. Your own offshoots, the Congregationalists shall spearhead the effort. Ted Turner has been recruited by your servant Gothemenes and the insipid Green baron and those disgusting scouts shall fall. Your puppetts will take over the Hated Church and reduce the Eucharist to a symbolic event while having the clergy switch from vestments to plainclothes and then they will be forced to marry. Then we will put an end to their idolatry to Mary as your master so desires."
The two get up an dresume their human disguises as they leave the church.**
PAUSE RP!!
Hope nobody was too offended by this RP. Yes, the Orange Duke is that type of Orange.
Good news. I have just finished exams. Whoppee!! I ahve no class until June 1, so now I just go to work and read fanfic. Life has becoem so much nicer :)
Even better news> I hope no one grumbles, but i actually liek my job interning for a stockbroker. Well, Frdiay, teh Founder of Scottsdale Securities, Robert Riney, arrived at the Offcie with his son all teh way from St. Louis. He and his son are looking for Colleges and their first stop was Tulane University, which is next to Loyola. The boss is a really nice guy and similar to Fred Smith (the founder of FedEx)in demeanor. Before he left, he personally thanked me for my service to Scottsdale. On a funnier note, afte rthe big boss arrived, a Vice President called up my Manager asking if anyone walked in.
Entity> WB. Yep, I caught it. It was good to see The Journey. It actually surprises me that so many eductaed middle class people would fall fo rthe demagougery. Usually it's the impoverished undeucated masses that fall for the hate mongering and/or share-the-wealth crap spouted by the likes of Castaway, Jackson, Sharpton, and Huey Long. I definitely liked seeing Elsia in that gown again :)
Pistoff and Tim P> You should see teh way Saturday Night Live rips on Robertson, especially during the 88 primaries. I doubt he is anything more than some annoying rich guy now. I wish I could say the same for Jesse Jackson, though. Now, he scares me big time. I always thought it would be funny to see Pat Buchanan and Jesse Jackson run on a ticket of anti-free trade and picketing with the Unions whenever a business wants to be more productive. At least Buchanan is another joke like Robertson, or that jerk Harkin.
WB Lawrence. Did you ever look at that site I showed you.
Kyrvyn> I hope your wedding goes well and your honeymoon goes even better :)
Mary> Prozack?? If your shrink recommends it, I guess it's oaky. Hopefully, it will make you feel better, but not out-of-it.
Christine> I remember those cartoons in my youth, along with Thundercats, Inspector Gadget, Count Duckula, and of course Danger Mouse. I loved that cartoon. Penfold was my favorite, and no my OL name has nothing to do with Baron Sials Greenback, though he was pretty cool, though my favorite villain was El Loco :)
Mandi> I had a paper on why to invest in AOL. It was six pages long, while most where 10+ pages long. I hope I didn't do too badly on that. Some teachers give at least an 80 for turning it in ::crosses fingers::
Pistoff and Lexy> What they did to that girl really sucks. I would never do that, though I do get a little irritated when they mess up my order. I just come back and politely tell them they got it wrong and then I thank them once they get it right.
Angela Nukem> How about in the end, she visits Demona who's giving a very generous tip to Fred the Pizza Guy :)
Guns> I don't think a killer would get a gun legally, since it would be a hassle and it would be traced to him/her very easily, except at a gun show. Of course, teh guns used were illegeal, and if teh current gun laws were enforced, like prosecuting every kid who brings one to class, not just 6 out of 3,000, there wouldn't be this problem. One of teh killers brought a gun to school the last week. In my HS, a kid had a gun in his backpack and he was expelled that same day. As for having a gun beforee you can drink, I think teh drinking age should be lowered to 16 anyway. Most anti-drinking laws were originally used as an excuse to dump on the Irish and the attitude we have about alchohol may be one factor to the wide rate of alchoholism, while France has very little and little kids drink there.
SaoceBalls> I loved that movie, personally. Mel Brooks is hillarious. It's amazing what he can get away with in his movies.

Well now ... interesting day for me, to say the least. But I'm glad it's over ... and no, I'm not going into detail, so don't ask. :)
SJ: **taps foot impatiently** Okay, dude, just *why* exactly do you not like the Wings? Is it just because we walloped the Caps in last year's finals, or something else? (Incidentally, last night's win means that the Wings have set a new team record for consecutive playoff wins with 10, dating back to Game 6 with Dallas last year. :)
Bruce Campbell: Uhmm ... did everyone forget that he in fact *was* in the original Evil Dead? I know this for a fact, because him, Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert made it as a student film at Michigan State University.
Tim: Cute story there. :)
Jaden: Good luck. That goes for *EVERYONE* taking finals this coming week!
Pistoff: I managed to get a decent pose for G&E done this evening ... it looks like it would seem in place on a show car (typical kind of posing) ... to tell the truth, I *really* like this one, as soon as I get a scanner running around here I'm puttin' it up to show. Let's just say that I came up with a pose for Elisa that stays in character with her but at the same time will make all those guys with the fantasies *drool.* :)
Entity: Nice to see ya 'round these parts, man.
Mandi: I completely forgot! Yes, I've read all of the Landover books (except "The Tangle Box" ... never got a chance to read it, but I did read all the others including "Witches' Brew."). Truth be told, I started reading them in junior high school ... **shuffles feet** and I do confess to having somewhat of a crush on Willow.

Hi all. Been a while. :)
DS9> I agree that it rips off Babylon 5, but whether or not it was an intentional, overt attempt I am not so sure. Star Trek doesn't seem to me to be the type of franchise to steal other's ideas. Although the last few episodes of DS9 have been VERY blatent rip-offs of Babylon 5, in the way the story is being told. The episodes have all been interlinked, one leading into another, like a running soap opera... much like B5. It doesn't really bother me, though. On the contrary, with no more B5 to watch, I've welcomed this new form of storytelling by DS9.
Gargoyle Commercial> Has anyone seen that car commercial where the car is being chased by a gargoyle? I *loath* that commercial! It makes gargs look like evil abominable demons. Even if I weren't a fan of "Gargoyles", I'd be ticked at the lack of historical accuracy -- everyone knows RL gargoyles were meant to ward off evil.
Toon Disney> Any fellow non-ToonDisney-having people catch the sneak peak on The Disney Channel last night? It might've only been in my area, I dunno. But the point is: I saw "The Journey"! The last time I saw that episode was almost three years ago! It was a treat; much better than I remembered it being...
Well, that's about it, I suppose. Looks like I missed some sorta wacky survey. *shrug* I'll catch the next one. ;)

As promised, here comes the latest installment of Angela Nukem ...
Sekhmet stumbles through the main room of Tannhauser Gate (the nightclub from G2K, for those who don't know :), gasping for breath, fur bristling all over. A half-dozen were-cheetahs follow her. The people in the club, who by now are used to mingling with gargoyles, mutants, clones and cyborgs, pay no attention to the new arrivals.
But they notice Angela when she storms in, loaded with huge guns. They scatter like pigeons.
Sekhmet screeches. Her were-cheetahs charge Angela, who just snorts and shakes her head.
"Nice try." She mows several of them down with the full-auto shotgun. Chunks of furry, wet meat fly everywhere. "Heh heh heh, what a mess!"
Jon Castaway, having been sent here to be a waitor as punishment for his crimes, zigs when he should've zagged, and catches 60 iron flechettes in the face and chest.
"Oops!" Angela shrugs. "No great loss."
Sekhmet and the remaining were-cheetahs run like hell, heading for the stairs at the back of the room. Angela follows, taking out a couple of pipe bombs. Sekhmet makes it though the door at the top of the stairs, and frantically begins trying the doors in the hallway. Some are locked, but she opens one and runs in.
It's a storage room. Filled with propane tanks. She shrieks and doubles back, sees Angela coming up the stairs, turns and continues to run.
Angela grins and waves the pipe bombs around. "Here, kitty-kitty!"
The surviving were-cheetahs scatter. Two of them run into the storage room with the propane tanks. Angela tosses a pipe bomb into the room and closes the door, runs down the stairs, and pulls her remote control out of her pocket.
"How do ya like yer ribs?" She presses the button, and the resulting explosion blows the roof off. "Holy $h!t!!"
She climbs the stairs and searches what's left of the upper floor. The rest of the were-cheetahs are crushed under chunks of the ceiling and roof. Sekhmet is pinned under a fallen wall. Angela lifts the wall off of her ... and pulls out a set of hair clippers.
"Time for a trim!"
"Nooooooooooooooooooo!"
BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!! ...
"Wow, you're real funny-lookin' when yer all nekkid!"
Sekhmet just whimpers.
"There are probably lots of reasons why I shouldn't blow you away." Angela switches to her pump-action 10-gauge. "But I can't think of any right now." She jams the barrel into Sekhmet's mouth. "Eat $h!t and die!"
BLAMMO!
"Rockin'!"

Hi all, long time no see.
I'mreally happy to see that "Blood Moon" got such good reviews.
**** WARNING BEAST WARS SPOILERS *****
I must say that "Nemesis" part 2 was one of the BEST series finales I've ever seen. I haven't had a rush like this since "Sleeping in Light" and "Hunter's Moon" for a final ep.
Megatron rocked in this episode. I especially liked his "I am Alpha and Omega" speech. And his fight with Optimus. I'd say that Megs won the fight, since Op only got one hit on our favorite robot dragon. And when he calliously killed Inferno and Quickstrike, it was a good insight on how evil he was.
I'm also impressed that they didn't cheapen the original Dinobot's death at all in this ep, when Dinobot II turned on Megatron and sacrifised himself to stop him.
I was surprised at the death of Tigerhawk. He was introduced two eps before, but it worked really well.
Optimus's stand reminded me of the orignal Optimus Prime, when he had his final duel with the original Megatron before the former died and the latter became Galvatron.
And the end of the ep was great and I loved seeing Megatron chained to the hull of the shuttle.
And of course: "Waspinator happy at last"
I give the ep a 9/10.
If anyone wants to see the infamous missing scene from the ep where Optimus returns G1 Megatron's spark that was cut from the ep click on my name.

Kyryn: Congrats!!! Good luck to the both of ya. :)
Deuce: Thanks for the offer, but I've already tracked them down and started their prolonged torment. A few days ago I parked in front of a grocery store and realized their car was parked next to my truck. The guy who was driving at the time of the Burger King incident was standing on the passenger side this time, waiting for his buddy to unlock the door from the inside. So I opened my door and slammed it into the son of a bitch as hard as I could, then I pretended that I hadn't seen him. "Oops! Oh, gee, I'm sorry, I didn't see you there! Are you okay?"
I spotted them a few minutes later in the store and "accidentally" rammed my shopping cart into the scumbag. "Oopsie! I'm so clumsy ..." Hehehe
Payback's a bitch, isn't it? :)
SJ: Ah, you liked screwing with people, eh? heh. I dunno, maybe I would've been amused if I didn't work in a similar job. But as it is, I've been putting up with this kind of crap all day, every day, for the past four and a half years. The revenge tactics I posted earlier are used for just that--revenge. I never start picking on anybody. Making some poor minimum-wage buger-flipper burst into tears isn't my idea of fun. People who get off on that are just sadistic.
JackaL: Loved the retarded $h!t. Great stuff!
Doug and Zath: Glad you're enjoying the Angela Nukem bits. I'll have another one later today. It'll be difficult to top the last one. :)
Zath: Love the idea about the disk. I'll keep that in mind ....
Coyote: The mural on your hood sound really cool. If you're centering it on Goliath and Elisa, the main image should probably be the "kiss" at the end of Hunter's Moon. Or maybe the two of them dancing in "Eye of the Beholder."
Tim P: Yikes! Pat Robertson is one scary bastard. Hmm. Maybe somebody can put him in a Duke Nukem Total Conversion ...
Wilek: Yes, there are some levels of DN that take place during the day. But we can always give Angela an amulet like the ones in "The Green." Or we can use the plot gimmick from my own series--a nanotech virus that alters gargoyle DNA enough to prevent them from turning to stone at sunrise.

*creeps in*
I'm baaaaaack!!! (hehehe) I went to my shrink yesterday (note how casually I say it) and due to circumstances in my life, we both decided that I needed to be put on antidepressents. It's not like I'm feeling suicidal or anything like that, I'm just feeling like "To Hell with everything and everyone!" and gloomy and the good things that do happen to me aren't making me feel any better. Not something to be going through a month before finals. I can't afford to do badly on my finals just because of how I'm feeling. But the funny thing is what antidepressent drug she's putting me on. Prozac!!!! She's putting me on that perticular drug because then I don't have to worry about the weight gain like with the other drugs offered. AND I'VE GAINED ENOUGH WEIGHT SINCE I QUIT BALLET!!!!!!! :P

****Warning Spoilers****Warning Spoilers*****
Beast Wars> I've only seen the first part of Nemisis, if our station isn't punks about it, we'll get the second part tomorrow. In a nutshell, the Maximals have the upper hand and the Predecons are out a base and Tarantulus. But Megatron is counting on Tarantulus's treachery and finds one of the T-man's hidey holes. In it there's a submarine/subway that takes Megatron, Dinobot 2 and Rampage to the Nemesis, the Decepticon's battlecruise. Refurbished and operational thanks to the departed Tarantulus and ready to go.
Being the only Maximal that's water capable, Depth Charge follows to stop them. He finds Ramage instead and in a climatic bout that ranks right up there with Optimus Prime and Megatron's last battle in Transformers: The Movie. Depth Charge destroys Rampange and the humunogous explosion takes him out as well. It looks like Depth Charge succeeded in stopping Megatron, when the Nemesis rises out of the ocean. Then the three most dreaded and hated words arose. To be Continued. AHHHH!
Though what this dragon wants to know is how are they going to keep continuity. As any hardcore TF fan can tell you, the original Decepticon ship was buried in Central America somewhere. Not in the ocean. And will Waspinator become the first of the Insecticons encountered in the second season of TF. Who knows?
Weapons against the Unseelie> Some of them I can see, but not the carpet bombing. Since Madoc's powers are on par with Oberon's, if he saw the planes coming, what's to keep him from creating a windshearing microburst to crash the planes or ice the wings. And projectile weapons only work if they hit the target. It reminds me of the Legend of Zelda where you may have the weapons to defeat Ganon, but first you have to see where to shot. That's my take on it anyway.
Later, gators

On the topic of bomb threats and paranoia> I suppose JEB knows about this by now, but for everyone else: the MSPAP testing scheduled in most MD schools on Monday has been cancelled. Why? There's been rampant rumors about bomb threats this Monday. It started out as a "Day of Reckoning" Internet rumor targeting three Harford County high schools (my old HS included), and next thing I know the six o'clock news is reporting the MSPAP is being cancelled statewide, since schools figure parents will be too afraid to let their kids go to school. Well, now that the local news has reported it, I guess so! Way to contain the panic, folks...Then again, I wouldn't be going Monday either for that very reason.
Steve Gooch> <<Now they're saying coffee is bad for you.>> I suppose coffee wasn't ever that great for one's health, but if anyone wants to preach the dangers of caffeine, they should be forced to deal with college finals before they can open their mouth. I think when I get home, I'm going cold turkey on caffeine for a little while; I'll be sluggish as anything, but Mom will be at work and I have a week of peace and quiet until I start my summer job. A friend of mine cut down on caffeine big time this semester and she says it's really paid off; all it takes for her to get wired over finals is a few sips of Coke.

Pistoff> This whole Angela Nukem thing looks pretty kewl, even though I don't much like Duke Nukem (I mean, strippers?! Please.)...Click my name to go to the Total Conversions website. I don't think there are any Gargs TCs (although I could be wrong), but the ones that are there look interesting. Note about the ANTC...aren't there a few DN levels that take place during the day?

WHAT THE <censored> WERE THEY AIMING FOR?! <<the man is almost Stalinesque in the way he's handling this movie. He's got way too much control over this film.>> Better than the other way around. Look what happened to Gargoyles when creative control was taken from Greg.
Tim P.> What a twisted little story. <g> <<Truth is, I'm not all that well in the head.>> This should be the CR's official slogan (motto, whatever). :D
JackaL> <<Is it possible to cut a vein and NOT go to the hospital, like in the wrist>> [Wilek starts to say something...then decides he doesn't want to know.]
**RESUME RP!**
[Wilek mows down several Wicked Tribe creatures with his chaingun, then throws a capture net over one of them--a net which the simian proceeds to rip apart. Wilek: "Oh, shoot! I need to take one of these things alive, to interrogate it!" Argent: "I have just the thing! Jewel*D, ICE!" The draco uses its ice breath to encase one of the monkeys in ice from the neck down, immobilizing it. Despite this, the remaining primates keep coming. Wilek: "These things just don't know when to quit, do they?" Scarecrow: "As you said, they are *quite* savage. But you still should have allowed me to attempt negotiation!" Wilek: "Sorry..."]

Zath: Yeah, I know that argument but the point I was trying to make (but didn’t make myself clear) was that if you’ve got potential-murderer x on convictions of gaining a gun illegally then your short-list when someone in the area gets shot through the head is likely to be is considerably smaller.
Robby: That sounds like… A long-awaited Vinnie episode? I can but hope! :)
Jaden: Yes, I do. Someone was telling me once about the odd timeline of what could happen in America under US laws… I forget it exactly but it basically involved this guy married with kids and with a gun before he could even drink! It was quite a funny story by the way it was told, but it did have a point to it...

Beastwars- Can someone tell me what happened on the final episode? I don't get a chance to see it much and I'd like to find out what happened.
Guns-Does anyone find it odd that young people cannot legally drink or smoke, but they can hold and shoot guns?
Well wish me luck on finals (I need it). See ya later!

Jackal>> The Eisenhower interstate system requires that one mile in every five must be straight. These straight sections are usable as airstrips in times of war or other emergencies.
Alot of the interstates where we live are like this, along with a few missile silos. There are also quite a few military bases around here, including the 185th Fighter squadron Iowa Air National Guard, 133rd Cavalry Iowa Army National Guard, Offuit AFB and a Marine Corps Reserve base in Omaha, Nebraska. All within an hour's drive. Offuit is neat because it's where Strategic Air Command is based. Although most of it's personnell is Air Force, it also people from the Navy, Army, and Marines. It's freaking HUGE!!! It's practially its own city.
Christine: My favorite show when I was little... well, young, was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I onced even dressed up as Leonardo for Halloween.
Since I have been visiting this Comment Page, I've noticed alot of short, ridiculous stories within the postings. This is another one. But this one offers practical information. It's something I did for a literature assignment that out teacher never asked us to turn in. So, now I get to share it with you. It's a satirical story about society. It's the only way I know of these days that a white, Christian male can give an honest opinion on society without being accussed of being racist (like Pat Robertson), anti-semitic (like Pat Robertson), sexist (like Pat Robertson) lunatic (like Pat Robertson). Enjoy!
THE MODERN DAY FAIRY TALE
Some where in the Florida Keys, an executive was spending the weekend fishing. He catches an Arab-looking bottle on his hook. He saw something inscribed on the bottle and rubbed off some of the mud with his hand to read it.
Then suddenly, a large billow of blue smoke shot out of the bottle and formed ito a large, blue, silly looking genie.
"Ah-ha!" cried out the genie in Robin Williams voice, "You have freed the Genie of the Lamp, and now you must die!"
After recovering out of his initail shock, the fisherman looked down and read the lable on the bottle:
SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Rubbing or wipping this lamp with your bare hands can be dangerous to you health. If you went ahead and did it before you read this label, you're screwed.
"But, why?" aske the bewildered fisherman, "Why me, and not someone who deserves it, like Pat Robertson, or Leonardo DiCaprio, or that guy who created "Barney the Dinosaur?"
"Because you mortals are unable to deal with such great powers. And when man does, it only leads to chaos and woe, as evidenced in "Frankenstein" "Species" and "Tommy Boy."
"I'm afraid I don't follow," aske the confused man.
"Truth is, I'm not all that well in the head." admitted the Genie.
"How could you be so cruel?" the man asked.
"It was easy," said the Genie, "Back when I worked for the militant wing of the Christian Colalition, I ruined more lives than the IRS. Now, do you have any last request?"
"Yes," the man said, "Give me 30 minutes." And at the end of that comment, he whipped out his cell-phone and hit the auto-dialer.
Little did the Genie know, that the fisherman was Disney CEO Micheal Eisner. Within a few minutes, the entire area was surrounded by small army of lawyers and police officers.
One of their leaders, presumably their leader, walked up to the genie and handed him a piece of paper. "Your being sued for copyright infringement as stated in Article 7, Paragraph 26 blah blah blah..."
Then a police officer aproached the genie and said. "You are under arrest for threatening a rich, white person."
As the genie was being escorted away by police, Micheal Eisner leaned over to him and said, "We both know that energy is energy, weither created by science or sorcery. However, real power is money, weither it's gold or U.S. currency"
In case you haven't guessed, Pat Robertson scares me.
Please don't sue me.

Hey all!
I'm in a very happy mood right now. Why? you ask. Well, I'll tell you. Today was Slope Day, the last day of classes here at CU, when everyone cuts class and chills out on the big hill between the West Campus dorms and the quad(s). There's music, festivites, and most of all...BE- uh... hmm... there's young'uns about, aren't there... uh.. er... "alcoholic refreshment." Yeah, that's it. Basically everybody with a CU ID had a license to drink today. Didn't matter how old you were, the cops didn't confiscate anything but glass bottles. Forget about IDing people, there wouldn't be enough cells in Ithaca to hold them all. :) Most of the people I know were hammered by noon. I caught up around 6 PM :) Anyway, as soon as I'm done posting to the CR I'm gonna go hit up the party down the hall and propose a toast.
A toast? To whom? Well, to Mr. Robert North of the Bronx, that's whom. That's the sonofabitch that decked me at paintball last August - 9 months ago tomorrow in fact. Why am I toasting his good-for-nothing keister? Well, because he was ARRAIGNED today! Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!!!! Oh, man, that was a long time in coming ^_^ Hopefully, he'll get a lengthy... ah, ehll, who am I kidding? He'll plea-bargain down to community service. I can only hope that the service in question involves some kind of hazardous materials. I'll drink to that!
Now, for some replies...
The gun debate > Seems pretty dead, so I'll leave it alone. I've said all I needed to on the AQDT message board anyway.
It seems I never commented on "Blood Moon." Well, to rectify that, I'd like to tell all those involved that it was a kickass episode, especially for the mega-action fan within me. More action! More action! :)
SJ > <Besides, ED 2 had Bruce Campbell in it, so it was already much cooler ;)> Well, *anything* with Bruce Campbell in it is already cooler. And thanks for the time slot for The Rock... unfortunately I checked the CR just about 10 minutes too late to see it... Oh well, I've seen it about 18 times already... Which reminds me, I've got to start working on that novelization again. Maybe over the summer.
And the Chinese Embassy... Man, all those buildings look the same from up there, and you can't exactly pick out the big red star through the lens of a camera-guided bomb. Still, it's bad news, even coming on the heels of the release of the POWs and the NATO/Russian deal.
Robby > Congrats that "Midsummer" went off so well! Believe me, I know how stressful big shows like that can be. Damn, I woulda liked to see that one though...
Wilek > <does Emperor Palpatine remind anyone else of Adolf Hitler?> One quote: "Wipe them out. All of them"
Twin-bladed lightsabers: I wrote a Star Wars story about, oh, five years ago, in which the main villain used an identical weapon. Then I picked up a copy of Dark Horse Comics' Sith war series and saw Exar Kun using... a double-bladed lightsaber. It was quite weird at first glance, then my reaction turned to one of "Ah, man, my IDEA!!!" :) So Darth Maul's weapon in the movie wasn't really a surprise to me - but it will be cool as hell to watch. (I never did finish that story, thank heavens - it was horrible. I've done much better since then). Overall, I've found that in the Star Wars novels and movies, the capabilities of the lightsaber as an intrusion device are blatently overlooked - something I've tried to rectify in my own writings. I mean, if you've got a blade that can cut (almost) ANYTHING, wouldn't YOU use it to make mincemeat out of all the pesky walls and blast doors that're standing between you and that command center?
<Anyone ever hear of Total Conversions?> Oh, man, now you've got me thinking about a Gargoyles TC or mod for Quake 2... Damn, now THAT would rock. Now if only I could code... [no! no! get those creativity demons out of your head until you've finished those term papers!]
Pistoff > The idea of a full-auto shotgun intrigues me as well. Just something about ten 12-gauge shells going off in less than 2 seconds, launching hundreds of razor-sharp flechettes 100 meters... oooooohhhhhhh..... (Although my favorite gun would probably go the the HK53A3).
Gyre > <a barrage of improved conventional munitions is fired> ICM baby! All the way! Damn, I'd love to write up a NATO siege of the Brocken, that'd just be too sweet.
Kaioto > Good take on Madic & the Illuminati. <I can have my multi-billion dollar Cold War fueled weapons, OK? :P> Oh contraire... We're going through with building a space-based anti-ballistic missile laser defense system. Interesting specs on the satellites they're planning on putting up - giant lasers and reflecting mirrors, able to knock out the rogue North Korean ICBM... I always thought ADI should never have been cancelled - I mean, the USSR went right ahead with breaking the ABM treaty anyway.
Aaron > <There are also a few other full-auto shotguns. One's called the SPAS-12> The Franchi SPAS-12 is semi-automatic. You don't have to pump it, depending on the load it's carrying. But I don't think it's full-auto. And the Ithaca shotty... hehehe...
DS9 vs. B5 > I always hated DS9. Maybe one out of every ten episodes of that wretched show were viewable for me. B5, however, could always hold my attention, simply because the plot was so much more intricate. I would've been happy had they ended the latter series after the FIRST finale, as the fifth season was pretty hard to watch.
Ahh.. all right, I'm all caught up for now. Gonna go toast Mr. North, get plastered for the third time today, and try to wake up by Tuesday. 'Night all!

*****BEGIN RP*****
The Wicked Tribe of Flying Monkeys, seeing the arrival of Wilek and his gang, take it as an act of aggression. With a primal scream, they erupt into battle, eagerly beginning an attack on the heroes.
The Hounds, always ready to fight, leap at some nearby monkeys and sink their jaws into the mangey hides. Kari fends off one of the beasts with her spear, using her enhanced strength to toss another from off her shoulders. Sevarius Jr., unfortunately caught without a weapon, was wrestling with one monkey on the ground. Scarecrow, his straw body and thin frame suprisingly strong, was holding his own against another primate, using his hands to push the muzzle of the beast away from his face.
"Well, you've done it now!" he screamed at SJ, who barely moved out of the way in time to escape the canine-like jaws of his simian opponnent.
"ME?" SJ grunted. "I didn't do anything!"
"I assume those are your friends that showed up, right? Well congratulations, you've just pissed off the Wicked Tribe. They'll hunt us to the end, IF we survive the next few minutes!"
"They didn't seem too friendly to begin with--OWWW! Quit trying to bite me!"
"I could have talked them out of it..." Scarecrow muttered.
SJ absentmindedly heard Wilek shouting something like 'get your paws off me, you damn dirty apes!', but then his hand came across a nearby weapon--a rock, about the size of his fist. Grabbing the stone, he brought it down like a hammer upon the cranium of the monkey. With a solid thump, the rock connected, and the monkey fell limp and unconscious to the ground. SJ brushed off his clothing. "Man, I hope these things are rabid." But his thoughts were cut short as another monkey eagerly took the other's place....
***END SPOILERS****
Whew! I wrote a 12 page term paper, practically from scratch yesterday. Only took me about 10 hours to do it, too. NEVER AGAIN. I hope and pray that I pass this English course, cause if I do, I will never have to take another one ever again. Hear me? NO MORE English composition courses ever. I'll cry if I don't pass.
Kick in the Balkans War Update: Apperently, we (NATO) have *inadvertently* bombed the Chinese embassy over there. WONDERFUL. As if we don't have enough problems, let's piss off the Chinese. A nation that only has about a billon people, many of whom could most likely be drafted into an army to kick our ass. Can anybody in NATO shoot straight? Everybody's whining about how video games teach kids to kill. Maybe we should have the NATO pilots practice with X-Wing: Rogue Squadron for N64 until they can hit a womp rat with smart bombs.
JackaL: Interesting fact--I believe that Coca Cola originally started as a cough syrup, one that was particularly popular because it contained codeine. Hence the name COKE-ca cola. Of course, they changed the recipe a little, added carbonated water, dropped the fun powder...BTW, you just can't seem to escape dead puppies can you? ;)
Doug: WINNER, WINNER, CHICKEN DINNER!!!!! **SJ drives up in a semi, pulling a trailer containing a cyber-cookie the size of a Buick* Yes, my good man, Tad Williams IS the man whom I am currently plagiarizing. I'm sort of taking my current RP storyline from his second novel in the Otherland books, "River of Blue Fire". Although his version of Oz was more post-apocalyptic, and far more disturbing...
BTW, I'd like to encourage everyone to give Tad William's "Otherland" series. The only books out now are "City of Golden Shadow", and "River of Blue Fire." They're more of a sci-fi approach than he usually writes, but they're quite good, especially if you're looking for an interesting view of what the future might be. They both have great characters (Paul Jonas and Sweet William are my faves), and Williams does an amazing job of making everything flow evenly, even though the books are each over 600 pages.
Star Wars: I don't know what is wrong with me but....I almost want this movie to fail. Possibly because I've just recently heard what Lucas is making the poor theatre folk and the media do just to please him....the man is almost Stalinesque in the way he's handling this movie. He's got way too much control over this film. I promise, when I make my first movie, I'll be a much easier going guy! ;) Oh well. This time next week I hope to be writing a review for Black Mask with Jet Li. Now that looks like an awesome flick!
Spaceballs Quotes:
*Dark Helmet and Lone Starr are fighting with their "lightsabers". Dark Helmet pauses.*
"Wait! There is something you must know about us, Lone Starr! I am your fathre's cousin's uncle's brothers roommate from college!"
*Lone Starr pauses* "So what does that make us?"
"Absolutely nothing!"
*Resumes fighting*
Yogurt, to Lone Starr and Barf: "Merchandising, merchandising, merchandising! We got the Spaceballs t-shirt, the Spaceballs lunch box, the Spaceballs flamethrower!" *Ignites flamethrower, sending a large stream of flame into the air* "The kids love this one."
and WARNING: OFFENSIVE MATERIAL
*Dark Helmet to one of his crew: "What's the matter with you? What are you, an asshole?"
"Yes sir, he is."
"What??"
"Private John Asshole, sir."
"What about him?" *points to another crew member*
"He's an Asshole too, sir. They're all Assholes."
"How many of you are assholes?"
*Crew, in unison* "YO!"
*Dark Helmet, in disbelief* "I'm surrended by Assholes!"
You know, the more I think about it, that movie did have it's moments....
Robby: Thanks for nuking Eurotrash....er, EuroDisney! That was LONG overdue! :)
Coyote: RED WINGS WON?? Must.....control.....anger......
Sorry, I have a long time hatred for the Wings.....but then again, they at least are talented enough to make it to the playoffs. Friggin' Washinton Capitals can't even do that, even after botching the finals last year....

**enters the room doing cartwheels, switches out the candle, then jumps up into the big chair, standing up.**
WINGS WIN! WINGS WIN!!
**composes self, sits down**
Sorry. But it was driving me nuts ... my conflicting fandoms came into play here ... do I watch the end of the Wings-Avalanche game, or do I watch an hour of "Gargoyles" on Disney?!
Fortunately enough, Kirk Maltby ended the game 4 minutes into OT, so I managed to catch a good portion of "Ransom." Kinda disappointing, but hey, it was a Gargs fix. :)
Baby Fey: That is quite a nice way of utilizing "Witchblade." I suppose now when I get the sketch done of the Gargs scene I want to have painted on the hood of my Caddy, everyone'll want a preview now. :)
Milady Arianna: Unfortunately. The NHL is honoring him by having its players wear his number (#3) as a decal on their helmets during the playoffs. It *is* sad, really. :(
Zath: Ah. So I was right *and* wrong. I get it. I think. :)
ReBoot Season 3: By far, the *absolute* best season of any animated series I've ever had the privilege to see ... second only to Gargoyles' season 2, but Gargs had the unfair advantage of four times as many episodes. And hey ... the ending of "End Prog" (before "I Am The Very Model Of A Modern Major General") with Dot and Bob finally getting affectionate gave me flashbacks to "Hunter's Moon 3," except Goliath and Elisa didn't have someone taking their picture. :)
Mandi: You forgot the end of it:
"When will then be now?"
"Soon."
Lexy: **reads survey questions and raises eyebrow** Hmm ... just so happens my favorite college basketball coach's last name is Izzo (Tom, coach of Michigan State). Any relation? I doubt it, but I couldn't resist. :)
Christine, re: "Let's Pretend": ehhh ... I really didn't have a lot of this experience as a kid, being an only child and all. Of course, that might explain why my imagination's so overactive now. :)
Baby Fey again: Any luck contacting Ravyn? Forgive me for seeming antsy ...
Kyryn: Good luck with your wedding ... remember, you promised to let us see pics of those outfits ... I still wanna see Okami's Union Navy uniform. :)
**sigh** Okay, I have to ask ...
I mentioned earlier a pic that I want to have painted on the hood of my Caddy. I'm changing the entire theme of the car (used to be fully Taz), and part of it is that I want a mural covering the hood, similar to what you see on a lot of show cars and lowriders (which I really admire ... can't help it, I picked up my first issue of "Lowrider Monthly" this morning ... just call it claiming my cultural heritage. :). I need some ideas on what to do as the mural. One thing, though ... the mural absolutely *has* to center on Goliath and Elisa. (Part of this conversion is going to be getting a custom license plate for the car: "MAZA 1" or "E MAZA," I haven't decided which yet.) Oh ... and if it gets too expensive, I'll be doing the painting myself. Of course, this is going to be a while off, after I get the base color paint redone. I'm just looking for ideas right now.

Christine- Since I turn 17 in about 2 months I suppose I qualify as a source... When I was little, it was Ninja Turtles vs. Shredder all the way! Of course, I switched beteen favorite turtles for years before finally choosing Raphael as my favorite. before that, I do believe it may have been Mario brothers and Zelda. Hmm.
Doug- I share your opinion on Star Wars. The die hard fans who have actually already seen it or read it, of course they're dissapointed, they're expecting it to be PERFECT, or at the very least, they've waited 12 years since the last one and actually expect it to be like the last one... Whenever you expect that much you're bound to be let down. (Actually, I expected a lot from Fox and the Hound,Lion King and Dragonheart, and almost nothing from Mulan and ended up with a whole lot more... Hmm...) I'll probably have a good time when I see it, I see movies to have fun. (I liked Star Trek Insurrection didn't I?) I don't looks for problems unless they're REAL obvious... Like a few problem areas the Matrix had...
Kyryn- Good luck and much happiness to you.
**BEASTWARS NON-SPOILERS**
After viewing the two part series finale, "Nemesis", I have to say, Beastwars was a very pleasing series, all the way to the final episode. How the characters acted is still true to what they always have been, the ending was climactic, and the villains I cared about got the fates they deserved. The heroes though... What happened to a few of them surprised me, others, not. But more could have been done with them. If I have any problems with this episode, its that it just wasn't long enough since next season the show is getting a total makeover as Beast Machines and several of the main characters are going away... Also, I gotta wonder WHY they upgraded so many characters right before the end? Hmm...

No RP or anything today. I'm feeling pretty drained.
Pistoff> *evil grin* Angela Nukem 3 was the best one yet. <<you can put his name on some porno magazine subscription cards>> I've seen another version of this where you put his name on the cards, but make the address one number off, so he has to try and explain it all to his neighbor. << Fold a 5 1/4" floppy in half and shove it into his 3.5" drive.>> Or you could take a 3.5 disk and bend the metal part outward on either side so when you look at it edge on it looks like an arrow. Put a disk like that in a computer, and it's never coming out. The bent parts squeeze back together while you slide it through the slot and then flare out again once it's inside the machine. Someone was very fond of doing this last year in my computer applications class (no, it wasn't me) and the teacher usually had to deal with one of these at least once a week. <<Carefully pull the labels off the Disney tapes and put them on the porno tapes>> Wouldn't it just be easier to tape directly over the cartoons?
***** BLOOD MOON SPOILERS *****
I just thought of something else to add about Blood Moon. It made me really want to know what happened at the Halloween party because, when Madoc ran into Demona ha was so surprised that he just fried her but, when the Unseelies ran into her this time, they knew that Demona and Dominique Destine were the same person and didn't seem to care. Something must have happened in between, and I have a feeling it was at the missing party.
***** END SPOILERS *****
Timedancer stuff, but no real spoilers> I'm finally catching up on Timedancer. Last night I read Art of War and then Spirits From The Vasty Deep (I'm not sure why, I just did it that way), and I noticed something strange. Even though Art of War was supposed to come after Spirits, Brooklyn's behavior seemed to have more continuity if Art of War came first. Oh well, that's just my $0.02.
Argent > <<Why couldn't they just tell us that in the first place?! >> Yesterday the administration at out school *finally* admitted that the bomb threat for the 10th had been made and now they seem to feel it's real enough to have bomb dogs brought in to search the school Saturday *and* Sunday. I hope to god this is just another hoax.
ED> <<people who would use them to kill are either (a) going to be found out quicker, or (b) aren’t going to be
able to>> I hope this doesn't start a CRwide argument about gun control or anything, but I feel the need to say that it would only be possible to limit guns gotten by *legal* means. If someone is going to commit a murder, I don't think they'd care about having "illegal possession of a weapon" added to their rap sheet too.

Pistoff> <<Mandi: Jelly Bellies????? Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!>> Hey, it was Finals Week. And like I said, it only works with fruit flavors (and mainly on Papa John's pizza).
Wilek> <<So I've noticed! Along with a few others, if I'm not mistaken. Where are they?>> I don't know...maybe the end of the semester's a total bitch for some people, too. (I know I'm not the only one.) Only reason I'm posting here is because my roommate's watching her soap and I can't do any work with the TV on. I'm too tired to argue with her over it anyway...she's leaving for the weekend around six p.m., so I can bide my time... :)
**EYE FOR AN EYE SPOILER**
Jenniren> <<Sata spoke to Brooklyn in Japanese when she didn't want Franmar to know what she was saying. Yet when she spoke in English, the Gate translated for Franmar. Why didn't the Gate translate the Japanese? If the reason it didn't was because Sata's words were meant for Brooklyn and not Franmar, then she could have spoken to Brooklyn in English.>> Er...okay, I wasn't around for the breakdowns that "Eye for an Eye" came out, but I think that Sata would naturally switch to Japanese out of habit--even if English would have sufficed. Then again, since the Gate is initially attuned to Brooklyn, perhaps it would only translate Brooklyn's language--namely, English. <<Also why didn't the Gate translate expressions like 'It drives you crazy' and 'that's par for the course'? It can't be creating a word for word translation, can it? Wouldn't Franmar and Harald hear the Old Norse equivalent of the idiomatic English expression?>> Well, in the case of 'that's par for the course,' maybe there wasn't an Old Norse equivalent. Then again, it could be a primarily word for word translation--hasn't there been confusion over Brooklyn's colloquialisms in the past? Todd? Kathy? <<(My apologies for being semicoherent).>> Uh, were we supposed to be fully coherent in here? If so, I'm in trouble. :)
Yet another Spaceballs quote:
"What the hell am I looking at? When does this happen in the movie?"
"Now. You're looking at now, sir. Everything that happens now is happening now."
"What happened to then?"
"We went past then."
"When?"
"Just now. We're at 'now' now."
"Go back to then!"
"When?"
"Now!"
"Now?"
"Now!"
"I can't."
"Why?"
"We missed it."
"When?"
"Just now."
Okay, I cheated, I have the sound clip of that on my hard drive.... :)
Kyryn> Again, congratulations! And don't stress! :)
Star Wars Movie> I am INTENTIONALLY keeping my expectations neutral. If I get too hyped up for it, anything will be a disappointment. I *am* getting hyped up over "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me."
Christine> Happy anniversary! Hmm, I actually might have a little something for AvMists...**knock on wood** if all goes well, of course.
**Several of Mandi's creativity demons appear, screaming in unison: "MANDI!! WRITE YOUR HONORS PAPER!"**
*sigh* Halfway through lengthwise, 7.5 pages...hopefully, it'll be done by Tuesday...creativity demons are not patient when you put a moratorium on fanfic. :)

**RP WARNINGS**
The screen comes on with an image of several government agents (including FBI, CIA, DIA, Secret Service, MPs, and MIBs) gathering in a briefing room. Kincaid and Agent Tau are standing in front of them. "Good, everyone's here," Kincaid says. "Alright, gentlemen, you all have read the mission files. You know that our purpose is to apprehend and detain the extremely dangerous vigilante militia known as the Black Ravens. Agent Tau here will be in charge. I expect all of you to follow his orders. Good luck, God bless you all." Kincaid leaves as Tau continues the briefing, wondering how he'll ever find a secretary good enough to replace the one whose body Agent Tau stole.
The screen changes to the Astral Plane, where the Ravens are battling the dreadnaught. It roars and strikes at them with its razor-edge claws, the Onslaught is only barely to fend off its blows with sword and shield. "The shoulder cannons and eyebeams don't affect it!" Shauna curses as she tries to man the mech's weapons. "Should I try missiles?" "No," Keith says. "There are two ways to defeat a dreadnaught quickly, according to the AD&D Monstrous Compendium. Either blind it or cut off its tail." "Keith," Doug says, "that book might not be right about real astral dreadnaughts." "Yeah, but isn't it worth a try?" Doug nods and makes the Onslaught step closer to the beast, whacking it upside the head with the mech's shield and then swinging the sword down to in one smooth motion slice off its left arm and tail. The dreadnaught roars, then falls over and slumps dead. "I guess TSR was right about those things," Jammer chuckles as they transform the Onslaught back into a truck. "Yeah," Doug nods. "Surprising. I wonder why they weren't also right about gargoyles." He shrugs and leans back in his seat. As the Ravens continue their journey towards the portal to Colorado, Doug makes a post.
**PAUSE RP**
Hi everyone!! <waves> Guess what. Classes are over, all I have to do now is take care of my finals and I'm done with this semester of school. Huzzah!!!
Fanfic Progress: Still doing "Dragon's Game." Up to the scene of the first battle Jadriel's Army must fight (wargames). Two more scenes and I'll be done with the Academy flashbacks, ready to move events farther ahead in the modern day. The fic will get done faster now that classes are over. Still have to study for and take finals, but they'll be over soon.
Pistoff: Thanks for letting me use the gun, and for posting the continual great Angela Nukem bits. I wish they would do a total conversion of the Duke Nukem game with her as the star. Here's some more suggestions I have for changes they could make:
- Change the strippers into the Trio. Hey, Angela's in there, who else would she want to look at? :)
- The Alien Troopers can be Minions, Captains Halflings, Pig Cops Redcaps, Sentry Drones Wisps, Octabrains Oni, Enforcers Werecheetahs, and Protector Drones (from the Duke Atomic Edition) Whowies. A shee knight on a flying horse will replace the RPV and Coyote 6.0 the Pig Cop tank. The Assault Commanders, Battlelord Sentries, and bosses will each be replaced with their own specific Unseelie. I suggest Loki for the Battlelord, Garlon for the Overlord, Maeve for the Queen, and Madoc for the Cycloid Emperor. We'll also have to bring in new enemies like Yell Hounds, Wendigos, witches, etc.
- There will also be new levels like the Brocken, the Eyrie Building, Maddox Technologies, and so on.
Sound cool?
Star Wars Movie: It's disappointing to a lot of people? That's not surprising. Did people expect it to be perfect, the greatest movie of all time? Well, if they did, they're going to get a cruel reality shock, and that's much better than the satisfaction of their egos IMO. I think the movie will please Lucas's true fans, the people like me and Kitainia who don't care about the movie's nits and disappointments as long as it largely entertained us. It will dissapoint the hardcore fans who think Star Wars can do no wrong and get mad when they see it doing one, as well as the demanding sort who want the movie to be like they want it to be and get mad when it's not. May my fanfic saga never get fans like that.
Deuce: Good luck to you and Catherine. Glad you have someone to make you happy. :)
Gyre: Good ideas for what should be done about the Unseelie. I may use a few of those in my fanfic saga when it comes time for the good guys to battle them in it (this time, the Unseelie will be fighting smart. Of course, they'll probably still lose. :)
Mandi: You're welcome.
Baby Fey: Cool tatoo idea. Hope it doesn't hurt too much when they put it on. Remember, pain can be controlled. You just disconnect it. (Cyber-cookie to whoever can name the movie that line's from.)
Argent: Sorry! Forgot about that. <slaps self>
Kathy: Thanks for the Cinco de Mayo info. We won't celebrate that holiday as much anymore now that we know what it's really about.
**NEW TIMEDANCER SPOILERS**
Even though it felt like filler, I liked the plot of this one. The history and Eye of Odin involvement was also done well. Brooklyn and Sata weren't developed that much, but at least they had good character moments, especially in the second to last scene. This ep was mediocre, but good. I give it 3/5, thumbs up. Hope the next Timedancer is more interesting and at least as good.
**SPOILERS END**
Mel Brooks: I think his films are hilarious. But that's just me, and I don't care enough to debate the point.
Christine: My friends and I usually did GI Joe vs. Cobra or He-man vs. Skeletor. Either was fun.
Kyryn: Good luck with your ceremony. :)
SJ: Tad Williams, maybe? He writes good stuff.
Happy birthday Darrin McGavin!! (If anyone's wondering, he'll be in my next fanfic as the ideal voice for Dragon Academy Headmaster Grahf.)
Okay, that's all for now. Later!!
**BACK TO RP**
The Ravens eventually find the portal to Longdale and drive through it, soon reaching the city. "Alright," Doug says. "Now we gotta find the house where those refugees are hiding." Having traced the call earlier, Tricia easily points the way. Unfortunately, Borg Team Rocket arrives at the same instant the Ravens do. "Hey, it's those guys Guod told us to watch out for!" yells Meowth. Doug and Kitainia look at each other and raise their eyebrows as Borg- Jesse and James recite their motto. "Prepare for trouble." "Make it double." "To protect the world from devestation." "To unite all beings in assimilation." "To expunge the evils of truth and love." "To extend our collective to the stars above." "Jesse." "James." "Borg Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light." "Surrender now, or prepare to fight." "Meowth- that's right!" The Ravens groan and draw their weapons, ready to do battle with this latest group of annoying minions of Guod.
**TO BE CONTINUED, END THIS BIT OF RP**

Aaron skips into the CR.
I'm in such a good mood. I just picked up my plane ticket to Dallas. In fact, I'm in such a good mood... DC, C'mere!
DC tries to make himself scarce, but to no avail.
Jeez, DC. Didn't I say I was in a good mood? I'm just going to shoot you with Mr. Carter. Aaron whips the aforementioned bazooka from under his coat. (Love those dimensionally trancendential coats) Splat! DC stands for a minute, looking stupid, before heading off to find a towel.
I wonder if I should tell him that was a special S.H.U.S.H. expando-whammo pie?
DC screams as the pastry expands to eight times it's original size, leaving him to smother under a huge pie of pie dough.
Today is Darrin McGavin's birthday. For those who don't know, he was Dangerman/The Prisoner, and Longshanks in Braveheart.
I hear the heavy tread of the boss coming, so I must go now.
Later.

Guns: I still believe that by limiting access to guns then the people who would use them to kill are either (a) going to be found out quicker, or (b) aren’t going to be able to.
Kathy: No, sorry, I don’t watch ‘The Bill’.
***COMMENTS/SPOILERS FOR TGS EPS THIS WEEK***
BLOOD MOON
It seemed to sweep just too wide an area. Incorporating so many characters with such an overused plot (magic spell threatens city) rarely works to good effect, and I don’t think it worked here either. To be fair, there were loads of amusing and meaningful exchanges highlighting many characters, but as far as ‘blood’ named eps go, I’m sticking with IN THE BLOOD :) Still, at least it got back old plots ^_^
6/10
AN EYE FOR AN EYE
Loved the introductory scene with Odin giving up his eye. But the scenario he found himself in frankly demanded development and wasn’t given it. The rest was OK, but introduced a load of characters in a short space of time and so didn’t do too much for me. When I saw the Eye of Odin spoilers and the superb scene with Odin I was dead excited, but it didn’t keep pace. Still, solid writing throughout.
5/10

The nursery rhyme Ring Around the Rosey is a rhyme about the plague Infected people with the plague would get red circular sores ("Ring around the rosey..."),
these sores would smell very badly so common folks would put flowers on
their bodies somewhere (inconspicuously), so that it would cover the smell of the sores ("...a pocket full of posies..."), People who died from the plague would be burned so as to reduce the possible spread of the disease ("...ashes, ashes, we all fall down!")
