Robby-- <I know the ElfQuest pic you are referring to and I refuse to do that with Gargs--too many> That's okay- no one's asking for you specifially to draw it -- alot of people have thought it was a great idea, including Aimee Major and Spike-- as for being too many-- I disagree.

DC punishment
Ironwolf walks in to the cr with Felecia the guardian behind him and a sad sorry computer tied to a leash at her belt. “I don’t like this Felecia are you sure? I can not punish him” she then purrs ” but they can” a portal opens up and 3 women in red leather caring small maces walk into the cr quickly followed by a young man with a sword. Felecia walks up “welcome sisters of the Mord-sith he used his power the minute you walked through the portal made by my User” The gentleman with the sword looks around “why are we here? Just repaying a debt my lord” replies one of the young women “and we told you not to come. Travel through the sylph is dangerous without my protection” the young man replies. Mean while DC opens a portal to escape only to be slammed at the feet of a red headed Mord-sith. She smiles “Is he really immortal. MMmmm he is going to be such fun.” She gently caresses him with her mace leaving a trail of blood and listens to his screams. “ Iron wolf looks around “um you can’t keep him no you can’t, but you can um play with him” Ironwolf shudders “just do what you want to him in your on realm and return him when your done. How rude Ironwolf” Felecia shakes her head “Sorry ladies he is in a bad mood and doesn’t like torture.” The ladies walk out with DC in tow again followed by the young man with the sword. Well at least my computer works now looks down at the computer ”and the next time you team up with DC I will let Felecia do what she wants with you”

SOROW congrats hope you have a good time.

Christine: (re: Sevarius pun) Ohhhhh gaaaawwwd! Uh...heh...as Duke Nukem would say, "Holy $hit!!" :P

Delphi: Glad you enjoyed the jokes. I'll find some more later... :)

traveler?: Sure, you belong here. If you're a fan, this is one of the places to be. :) As for music, I do listen to Prodigy and Chemical Brothers occasionally, though I get sick of it fast, and have to wait a while before listening to more. (Incidentally, since we're talking about techno, there's an interesting rendition of the Flintstones theme song that was done by a group called ASSI, I think. I don't remember for certain what the name of the group is, but I think that's it.) I also get a kick out of the Timelords' "Doctorin' the Tardis." ;) Otherwise, my favorites include Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, a few Judas Priest songs (a lot of their songs annoy me, for some reason), Queen, and the Dead Kennedys. :D

jewel: Ehh...Data and Lore?! Oh, PUKE!!!!

Spike: Actually, adding Matt Watson to "Catfight" might've been interesting. :) Probably the rest of Brooklyn's mates would've ganged up on him and Joyrided his ass. :) :) :)

I'm walking on the clouds! This guy that I've like for about a year might finally ask me out! He asked for my phone number, though I know he already had it, and invited me to a party! Oh, YYYYYEEEEESSSSS!!!!!

On a different note, my dad switched Internet servers without telling me (thanks a lot Dad) so my e-mail address has changed. I'm not sure what it is at the moment, but when I find out I'll inform you all :)

I just bought the last two Loreena McKennitt CDs, so now I have all seven! If you have never heard of her, check it out! She's wonderful!

Irina> That bad huh? Well, I recently applied to Ulta 3 Cosmetics and they'll hopefully call me back. Natural Wonders just always looked like so much fun. I'd be the employee playing with all the toys in the corner!

Note to all: Gargoyles will air on the Disney Channel tonight at 7:30 Central. Yes, the Disney Channel, not Toon Disney.......also, it seems Disney bought the domain www.gargoyles.com, though it just leads to thier main site.

Since not all of you come to S8, I thought of telling this here as well: Greg Weisman has answered a number of questions in "Ask Greg". However they didn't all fit in 'latest responses': So people will have to check out many of the archives as well...

The best tidbit btw was that there was a sentient race that predated all three we know of, but which is no more around...

jewel> Christine as christ figure... Hadn't thought of it. I wonder if that's part of the reason that her 'mirror twin' has been symbolised by "The Devil" tarot card...

Cloud and Sephiroth slash: <little kid voice> B-b-but Cloud is Sephiroth's *clone* and that's really kinda sick... I mean talk about it--it takes narcissism to an all new level... Y'know, slash, in any form, is something of an interesting topic. Character pairings and the situations within them say a lot about the socital norms and taboos of a culture. Also, in reference to slash, a lot of it is written by woman about male relationships, which also says both a lot about society, and, smome culd argue, about the, in general, lack of strongly developped female characters in most sci-fi.<smacks head before she can go further> Out of academia mode! Out! <snort> Yeah, you can tell I wrote a 30 page paper on porn one year (18th Century French Political Pornography, focusing on clerical sodomy, if anyone cares--gave me interesting dinner conversation for a year). Sheesh... ANyway, Sephiroth and Cloud are just kinda sick because Cloud is a 'defective' clone of Sephiroth. I mean, that's just incest to a whole new level... Bleeeeh.

Hm, here the comic was more crippled as a result of the company itself. Fleetway’s new owners just see each of their comics as ‘cash cows’. There’s no creative reason why it couldn’t have stayed at the same quality. Most of the staff is the same (or was, before most were laid off), and some of the plots canned for various reasons sound sensational. (Like, Sonic trapped in the past of Planet Mobius and as he struggles to get back to his own time witnessing the Echidna/Drakon War – and meeting Knuckles). There were still good stories being produced right up until they fired the chief writer and made it mostly reprint. As for killing Robotnik… Fleetway did it too (after a fashion – he was only shrunk to a sub-atomic universe but at the time nobody thought this possible), but we still got nice stories where nice stories were and bad stories where bad stories were. More worrying was when they axed the Knuckles strip. Still, 4 or 5 years of *at least* half-good/half-bad isn't too bad, eh?

Christine- I don't get the joke...

Ordell/Dennis- Ack, the room is going into all out DBZ spoiler mode. Heh. Interesting recap of Dragonball anyhow. Bit more complicated and spoiler giving than newbies need tho... I think what is wanted is an explanation of WHAT'S going on, not major spoilers and storytelling. (For that there's websites that have the whole thing already written down...) Maybe I shoulda just written my answers in here and saved you two the trouble instead of sending it via e-mail to SJ...

Wilek- A Pikachu can beat a Raichu in this manner.

**SPOILERS FOR THE POKEMON EPISODE "ELECTRIC SHOCK SHOW DOWN"**

Basically what happened was, the Raichu Pikachu had to fight had been evolved early. (Pikachus have to have their evolution forced by a thunder stone, they can't upgrade by themselves.) And since the Raichu had been evolved so early, it never had a chance to learn any of a Pikachu's speed attacks. So Ash's Pikachu ran circles around it and beat the snot out of it using speed. And when the Raichu used an actual electric attack (that blew out the nearby windows and tore up the floor) Pikachu stuck his tail in the ground and grounded himself, so the electric attack had no effect. After that, the Raichu was worn out, and Pikachu beat it easily.

**END POKEMON SPOILERS**

Indiana traveler- heh. I kind of like "Swagman" myself. Its an old Australian name, used in their unofficial national anthem, "Waltzing Matilda." Of course, a few years back they finally got themselves an official anthem, but its not nearly as good as Waltzing Matilda...

Shogun raptor- Well, when you put it like that...

Ed- Okay, your Sonic co ic suffered the same thing as ours then. It was great for a short while, about two years, and then went icky poo after they killed off Robotnik...

Wilek>You have played Phantasmagoria also? wich one the first or the second? my brother played the second,and here is what I found wierd. The main hero in PII PuzzleofFlesh was nicknamed ratboy and look a lot like Nicholas Leah from the X-files.(Alex Krycek aka Ratboy).

DragonballZ: hmmm you guys pretty much coverd it but if you want to learn about how Goku met ChiChi and when {Piccolo was a bad guy go rent or buy the original DragonBall videos

I agree about Frieza:sounds like a woman, and that Zanty Misfit face doesnt help.IMHO my favorite of Freiza's cronies is Zarbon love that Austrailian accent.

Whoa I had a wierd dream last night it was a TGS one where the Unseelie where getting ready to take over the world and my boyfriend had to leave me becasue he was one ofthem and he really didnt want to see me hurt even if I was a strange mortal...now for the really wierd part. I was a CONTACT meaning I had this chip in my sinus cavity and I communicated with aliens this way,but these were good aliens who injected some of their DNA into some earthlings including myself and we helped them fight an enemy of the Galactic Order(like the federation) and spring some of their allies from 51, Well the aliens promised us that they would help the good Fey,and mortals against the unseelie and I had to convince my boyfriend to leve the unseelie

"Has anyone of your kind been to outerspace?"

"No,why"

"We could take a crusie through the stars"

Another interesting point was that many ofthe unseeli spells had no effect on the aliens, that part I was trying to figure out when I woke up.

After a week of being eaten alive by gnats and whitewater rafting in Gatlinburg, Tenn, and doing practically nothing (and loving every minute of it) for another week in Atwood Lake, Ohio, I'm back! And now that I see the room is still intact, on with the post!

WILEK> [Pikachu vs. Raichu) Not necessarily. For a Pikachu to evolve into a Raichu, it has to be exposed to the radiation from a special stone (in this case, a thunder stone). There are quite a few Pokemon that need stones to evolve, and they can be made to at any time. However, once you evolve these Pokemon, they won't learn any more attacks.
***POKEMON SPOILER***
Actually, Raichu _did_ wipe the floor with Pikachu the first time they battled. Pikachu won their rematch by using attacks Raichu never learned.
***END SPOILER***
I hope I have been able to explain this without making your head explode. :)
SJ> Yes, Napa was the big bald guy who looked like he was on steroids (though personally I don't think steroids would have much effect on Saiyans :))
Frieza is leading his own private army. (And who knows what Saban was thinking when they cast the voice!)
There were a couple of groups of 'funky looking green dudes': Napa's saibamen (SP?) or the Nameks (a race that Piccolo, Kami, and Dende are members of)
The fat pink alien was Dodoria, one of Frieza's henchmen

Any RPers>$Can you please tell me what I missed, and where that little device I gave Pikachu ended up?$

the continuation of Ordell's review of Dragon Ball Z

Ordell left at Dende being killed, right?
Well, Vegita attack Frieza, now in his ultimate power form.
It's soon evident that he's not match
meanwhile, Goku, wounded when he was possessed by Ginyu, heal from the healing cuve and join his son and allies, only to find a dying Vegita. After his passing, Goku bury him, as a warrior, and oath to venge him.
The fight, but not even the Genki Dama (Spirit Bomb) can
defeat Frieza, and it's now a totally pissed one who get back to face the Z-Soldiers. He wounds Piccolo in the chest, and destroy Krilin.
it's too much for Goku who, under the shock and the anger, become a Super Saiyan, his hairs got straight up and gold in color, with a glowing aura around him. with a cold tone, he orders Gohan to take Piccolo and find Bulma, then leave the planet with the Capsule
during the fight, Frieza launch a supper blow that hit the heart of Namek, and proudly announce to Goku that Namek will be destroyed in less than 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, Gohan brings Piccolo to the Capsule, and find Bulma, then goes back to the battle field to find his father.
On earth, Mr Popo had gathered the Dragon Balls and summon Shenron.

TO BE CONTINUED...

Robby: Maybe because it’s the original and best Sonic the Hedgehog comic? :) (it was set up in the May of ’93, before Archie began I believe). Unfortunately, lame 5-year-old trash is the name of the game nowadays with STC, and while we had a decent saga last February to April, the main writer (and the best one), was fired to make reprint space. So we get the second-string one who has severely missed the boat on what made the comics so exciting before now. Nowadays, the publishers have gone cash-mad and so 3 of the 4 strips are reprint and the new stuff is typically of terrible quality. The artwork (or at least the colouring, now done on computer) has gone downhill too. Sorry to disappoint you, but I guess we should be thankful that for a few years we got some truly brilliant series in it, even though now it's "on a lonely path to extinction," as Robotnik once said.

Subject: FW: E-mail from God

One day God was looking down at Earth and saw all of the evil that was going on. He decided to send an angel down to Earth to check it out.
So he called on a female angel and sent her to Earth for a time. When she returned she told God, yes it is bad on Earth, 95% is bad and 5% is good.
Well, he thought for a moment and said maybe I had better send down a male angel; to get both points of view. So God called a male angel and sent him to Earth for a time. When the male angel returned he went to God and told him yes, the Earth was in decline, 95% was bad and 5% was good.

God said this was not good. He decided to E-mail the 5% that were good and encourage them, a little something to help them keep going.

Robby> I know about T2 DB and Rampage being hardly immortal, but lemme put it this way: Rampage and Dinobot are connected by the same spark, both can heal themselves and inflict pain on each other, sort of, and Depth charge is hunting rampage, a psychotic who can only be killed by extreme measures, as was demonstrated in "nemesis part 1"
Demona and Macbeth can only be killed by each other's hand and inflict pain on each other, in addition they can also heal themselves and demona (easily the more psychotic of the two) is being hunted by the canmore clan (see the parallel yet?) at any rate, I am fully aware of the whole "protoform X" angle, my following of Beast wars is as strong as my following of Gargoyles

Conan the adventurer> I remember this show, the evil snake villain was Rathaman, he was created by another sorcerer named Rammaman, the femalre sorceress was mesmira and it was she who turned Greywolf's (the middle eastern wind mage) brother and sister into werewolves (who were water and fire mages)
I forget the name of the african guy, but I remember he was a member of the wasai tribe who could summon animals to their aid by making the sign of the jebal-sahg, meanwhile, there was also a viking guy, it was also the snake-demon Set that Rathaman worked for, but he had another warrior, an undead fellow named skulker, he used to be a man named sekumbe who was a member of the damballas, who worshipped a skeletal snake (another incarnation of Set) Conan also had a baby phoenix named needle who was sort of a "magic sensor" among other things, I used to watch that Conan show all the time, scary how much cartoon trivia I can recall

traveler (I'll call you that until you decide what name you want, then I'll call you whatever that is) - yes, of course you belong here; you make intelligent conversation, you like Gargoyles. Yes, I know bjork, but it takes a Lot to get me "into" a particular artist, and bjork was not one of the ones that happened with. Same goes for the others you mentioned. I mean, they're all good, but I can only think of about two artists I've really gotten into to any degree.

Wilek - When I mentioned them being animated, I was referring to the characters I would mention, not all video games. :)
As for relationships between characters, I think Star Trek has some of the worst ones ever to be postulated by fans:
Kirk/Spock
Bashir/Garak
Kirk/McCoy
Spock/McCoy
Kirk/Spock/McCoy
Picard/Q
And those are just a few. *shudder*
Yeah, Darth Maul and Obi-Wan is a pretty bad combo too, I must say. There could be a *lot* worse in Star Wars, though, I gotta say.
Speaking of homosexual relations in FF7, is it true there's a way to get Cloud to date Barret? I've heard there is, and I was wondering if anyone had any more information as to the truthfulness of that rumor.

Even yet insanely more puns> Ah, the horrorible, the horrorible! I'm melting! I'm melting! Diga a esposa e crianças que eu nunca tive que eu teria os amei! <gasp> :P

Doug and Kit> <<Kit and I have to go out of town this afternoon on important business, we won't get back till Wednesday.>> Leaving again? <sigh> Hope whatever it is turns out well. :)

Irina> These customers...ACK. Makes me wonder why some people haven't Darwined themselves right out of the genepool yet...<<Ok, ppl, I'm including video games here, since technically they are animated. :)>> Actually, some aren't, at least not entirely--the 11th Hour features mostly real actors, as do Phantasmagoria, Harvest, The Journeyman Project series...Games have come a long way. ^_^ <<If I see ONE MORE fanfic where Sephiroth and Cloud get paired up in a homosexual relationship, I'm going to scream.>> Ecch. But it's not as bad as putting Darth Maul and Obi-Wan Kenobi into such a relationship (I've seen it done). Such authors will be dre'kketh food in the new order...

Jewel> <<I am a Mawrter, there are no hormones. I am a Mawrter, there are no...oh, who the hell am I trying to kid?>> Want mine? I tormented them into submission years ago. ^_^

Spike> Ah good, another Deathmatch. [Wilek opens the link in a new window and reads...and soon can do nothing but stare at the screen in awe.] There are no words. INCREDIBLE. (And I'm glad Matthew Watson wasn't in it <g>...) Heh heh heh...the above bit about hormones? If I were in Brook's situation here, I'd most likely kill as many of the psychos as I could and make a break for it. A few days later, Miriam's organization's nuke-equipped black helicopters would pay the arena a visit. Hee hee, I'm evil. >;) Hey, is your deathmatch thingie in need of a mad mage or a psychotic shapeshifting Halfling? :)

Spacebabie> I remember that Simpsons bit. Thanks mostly to the fact of its presence on the 'Songs In The Key Of Springfield' (I think) soundtrack CD, which I have the good fortune to own. ^_^

Shogun Raptor> <<I know Exar Kun was the first one, but more people associate it with Maul, pity really, some mention of Exar Kun would've been nice>> It would have; too bad Lucasarts can't use much in the way of non-official material. I still don't know how they got away with sticking Dash Rendar's Outrider in the Special Edition versions of the classic trilogy.

Fire Storm> <<Theres a program called Photomodeler that can take a few photo's of an object (Or a person in the same pose) and make a 3d model out of it. I got a copy of it around here somewhere... Bonnieway, you can download it from the site. <Clickie my linkie for it.>>> Thanks! ^_^ Hm...interesting little program...

Sarge> <<I am afraid that people will steal my ideas and re invent them to make stories of their own and produce them in actual book stores.>> I wouldn't worry; the way copyright law operates; you'd be within your rights to sue their tails off.

Robby> <<If possible, I'll start working on that Pokemon stuff Monday. For now, I've gotta try and get four comic pages from various series and art styles done this weekend.>> No problem at all; I'm quite patient about this sort of thing. :) <<And I'm suddenly reminded of the Raichu episode of Pokemon...>> How was Pikachu able to defeat a Raichu? Shouldn't Raichu have wiped the floor with him?

SOROW> <<We need straitjackets with the Gargoyles Logo...>> Ooh...black straitjackets, perhaps, with red lining? Love it! :D

Random bit> I'm sure most of you are familiar with the colossally twisted liquid metal whackaloon known to the few who have survived encounters with him as Forfexx? Click my name for something of a pic of him. (Alright, it's an altered Vampire Hunter D pic. Give me some slack, I can't draw worth snot. :P )

SJ> <<Why do all the "aliens" dress alike>> I always thought it was because they were all in some alien military. $<<I'm been sort of holding things off for a while till I see what Wilek and the others are going to do while Doug and Kit are "away" on their mission.>> Come to think of it, I can't think of anything to do either. Sort of a lull in the action. I wonder if Jim really is sincerely dead...$

Utter randomness> Does anyone here have the Star Wars novel 'Spectre Of The Past'? There are apparently two exceptionally subtle references in it to Disney World's Star Tours ride. Heh.

traveler> <<Maybe if none of you like bjork there are other musical artists that I like. If you like[or possibly even know ] any of these people tell me. Atari Teenage Riot , Fiona Apple, Goldie, Garbage, Prodigy, Roni Size, Crystal Method, Korn, Propellerheads , and Method Man.If you know about any of these people tell me, and I will feel even less alone.>> I've heard of some of them, but I prefer the likes of Mozart, Danny Elfman, and John Williams. :) <<Please tell me what you think of me. Do you guys think I belong here? And tell me what name you think is better.>> Hey, if you're a Gargoyles fan, you definitely belong here. :) As for the name, I personally prefer Nightwalker, but it's really your decision. :)

Do any of you even know [or care] about who bjork is. with this topic alone I feel like I am talking to a bunch of brick walls. If none of you care even a little bit about who I'm talking about then tell me so I'll stop talking about her[promise].Just say so and I'll shut up about her.

New name-At this point it's down to either night walker or wanderer.Although night walker is more like gargoyles [Xanathar],wanderer is more like traveler[forgot who].

Maybe if none of you like bjork there are other musical artists that I like. If you like[or possibly even know ] any of these people tell me. Atari Teenage Riot , Fiona Apple, Goldie, Garbage, Prodigy, Roni Size, Crystal Method, Korn, Propellerheads , and Method Man.If you know about any of these people tell me, and I will feel even less alone.

Not really a Deathmatch but I was wondering what would happen if Owen and Preston Vogoul ever met.Anyway owen would win because of the fist.

Everyone-Please tell me what you think of me. Do you guys think I belong here? And tell me what name you think is better.Good night my ever growing rookery brothers and sisters.

ROBBY - You wrote: [The image issue of Turtles you got was back when Mirage was still around. They were in control of that mini-series, (Which I believe crossed over into Savage Dragon.) Its the Image SERIES, from after the death of Mirage, that stinks so much...]

I do know about that Mirage mini-series but the issue I had was number 21 of the Image series. It has Horridus from the Savage Dragon series on the cover. Reading the letters page in that issue, it seems that they had brought her in as a supporting character, and a girlfriend for Michael-Angelo. It also mentioned that the series was being cancelled at issue number 23 so I figured I might as well pick up the last two issues but I'm not sure if they came out or not. Do you happen to know if they did?

'Allo all. Moving can be a pain in the ass, I wouldn't recommend it.

Sevarius Jr.> Dragonball Z questions, eh? I guess I'll take a shot at this: I'm not sure how much you know, so I'll start at the beginning....The following contains spoilers for about the entire series. Um, the first four episodes are known as 'Arrival'. It is revealed that Goku is an alien who was originally sent to Earth to destroy all the humans. As a child, his "programming" was messed up, and it never happened. Goku and Gohan are Sayians, a species who turn into a monkey with the light of a full moon. Goku doesn't as he had his tail removed. Goku's brother Raditz arrives and ask why he hasn't fulfilled his mission. Goky refuses to go with him, and Raditz attacks. He is killed by Piccolo, but not before killing Goku. Raditz warns that two other Sayians will arrive on Earth in less than a year. Piccolo, the strongest non-Saiyan warrior, starts to train Gohan, who has more potential than any of them because he is only half-Sayian.

Vegita and Nappa, the two Sayians headed for Earth, cause destruction in their path as Gohan becomes increasingly stronger. Goku has landed on Snake Way (the way to Heaven) and must reach the end to recieve training from King Kai (God). Gohan continues to try to escape Piccolo, but is reminded that he is Earth's only hope once Vegita and Nappa arrive.

Meanwhile the warriors of Earth (Krillin, Tien, Chiaotzu and Yamcha) start to recieve training from Kami, protector of the Dragonballs. Goku reaches King Kai and begins training. He teaches Goku the Kaio-Ken and Spirit Bomb to help in his training.

Vegita and Nappa reach Earth. It is revealed that they (and Goku) are the last remaining Sayians (besides some other like Brolly, but those haven't even been seen here yet). They want the Dragonballs to wish for immortality. Piccolo, Gohan, Krillin, Tien, Chiaotzu and Yamcha start to battle the two. Vegita eventually calls a three hour time out to see if Goku will arrive. As Nappa is about to kill Krillin and Gohan, Piccolo sacrifices himself to save himself. This also destroys Kami and the Earth Dragonballs, along with the chance to wish everyone back to life.

Vegita kills Nappa after Goku arrives and attacks him. Goku, now with a power level of 5,000, starts the attack using his new power and techniques against Vegita. After taking a beating, Vegita transforms into a were-monkey, but has his tail cut off by Yajirobe, who has been watching the entire battle. Vegita is eventually defeated and leaves Earth, vowing revenge.

The remaining warriors decide to journey to Namek, homeworld of Piccolo and house of the Namekian Dragonballs, so they can wish the decesed warriors back to life. Vegita arrives at Frieza's army base to recover, and once Freiza leaves for Namek to search for the Dragonballs there, so does Vegita.

Goku, who remained on Earth to train more, goes to Namek when he learns Frieza and Vegita are both there. (Note: Freiza's dubbed voice chances in the new 'season', as does Piccolo's). Vegita and Freiza both contune thier search for the Namekian Dragonballs, and Goku continues his journey to meet up with Krillin, Gohan and Bulma.

At King Kai's, the deceased warriors arrive and start their training, the same as Goku did. Krillin recieves a power up from the eldest Namek, and Vegita is able to steal the Dragonballs from Frieza. Vegita, with five Dragonballs, follow Krillin and Gohan, who have the other two, as they travel to see the Eldest Namek.

The Ginyu Force arrives, on a mission from Frieza, and Vegita makes a truce with the Krillin and the others to protect the Dragonballs. Krillin, Gohan and Vegita start to battle the Ginyu Force, when Frieza steals all the Dragonballs, but is unable to activate them. Goku finally arrives, much stronger than he was before.

(Note: the following is from the unaired episodes that will start in the beginning of September. The first few are available on video) Goku deafeats most of the Ginyu Force, and soon Captain Ginyu arrives, thinking he can defeat Goku. Ginyu switches bodies with Goku, and is unable to use it because of the power. Krillin and Gohan cripple Goku, in Ginyu's body. Frieza battles with Nail, a Namek, so he can find the password for the Dragonballs.

Krillin and Gohan, with the Namekian Dragonballs, wish Piccolo back to life, thereby resotring Kami and the Earth Dragonballs. Piccolo discovers an injured Nail, and the two fuse together, creating a super-being capable of battling Freiza.

It is revealed that Freiza was the one who destroyed the Sayian homeworld, giving Vegita a reason to fight. While Krillin, Gohan and Picollo/Nail battle Freiza, Vegita tries to become Super-Sayian by being healed by Dende. His plan fails for the time being as Freiza continues the battle.

Dende is killed in battle, destroying the healing power of the warriors and Vegita's hopes to become Super-Sayian. Goku arrives from healing, and holds his own with Freiza, a new goal in his mind.

*****

That's really all I know, as the reast hasn't been translated yet. There's plenty of episode and movies left, and I have some sub-titles movies from later on in the series (with Trunks, Goten and SS4 Goku). They'll get around to it eventually, I'm sure.

The preceding post was brought to by boredom.

Later all....

Dr. Sevarius finally went public with his perfected cloning technology. The Illuminati decided to make it available to everyone in the world.

Each person would have a copy, which would be kept in storage until the individual died, and then the clone would be allowed to live on in their place.

They were going to do this alphabetically, but then some people with no living relatives pitched a fit, saying they should be first, to preserve their genetic material and carry on their names.

The Illuminati decided this was fair and issued their decree -- Let him who is without kin stash the first clone.

To all those puns out there: *retch* *cringe* HAHAHA!

SOROW: Don't work at Natural Wonders. Corporate is just crap. It took us three months to get a working vacuum cleaner, and we still haven't managed to get enough extension cords (which, btw, you have to order through the district manager, you can't just order them like you can some other supplies, like the light fixtures we need oh so often).

Spacebabie:
Glad to see others who have read plays they didn't have to read for school...
And yes, I remember "I'm Just A Bill."
So you think Cloud and Vincent are hot. I agree with you to some extent, they probably would have been 11 and 12, but I was just doing a top ten.

Guys out there: I know most of you think Tifa is hot, if you've seen her, what are the opinions on Aeris (or Aerith, if you prefer that spelling)? Just curious.

Btw, on the subject of FF7, if you want to see some examples of really *atrocious* fanfic, look up some of the FF7 stuff that's out there.
If I see ONE MORE fanfic where Sephiroth and Cloud get paired up in a homosexual relationship, I'm going to scream. I have absolutely nothing against homosexuality, understand. It's just that These Two Are Not Gay And Do Not Belong Together. Ugh.
Occasionally, though, there are some good ones, I've seen one or two, and some decent poetry.
There's one site that's collecting essays. I'm considering fleshing out my analysis of Sephiroth and Cloud as tragic characters and sending it in. What do y'all think?

No RP tonight.

I just got finished watching (again) the best (IMHO) zombie film ever made--Peter Jackson's "Dead Alive". If you've never seen this film, you should--it's hilarious, well-acted and well-written, and it's got more than enough gore for even the most die-hard splatter geeks. Zombie sex, zombie babies, evil cursed poisonous rat monkeys, decaying corpses, dog eating, kung-fu ninja priests who kick ass for the Lord, and a "final solution" for zombies involving a lawnmower and puddles of blood and body parts--in other words, I recommend it highly. :) And remember--Jackson is the man behind the new Lord of the Rings movies.

Streetfighter: This was one of the worst movies I've ever seen, period. All I can say is, I'm depressed that a wonderfully talented actor like Raul Julia died with this abomination as his last piece of celluloid. Almost none of the characters were like their video counterparts (don't get me started on Blanka or Dhalsim), and everyone gave terrible performances across the board. This movie was abyssmal, and I'm sorry that it ever got made. Jaysus, it makes the Mortal Kombat movies look like freakin' Ben Hur.

Orson Scott Card fans: As you may or may not know, Card has chosen to return to the world of Ender. Another book in the Ender series is to be expected sometime in September, entitled "Ender's Shadow". Look for it at book stores everywhere!

Robby: Thanks for the DBZ info. I'm somewhat less confused, but there's still a lot I don't understand. Was Nappa the big bald guy who looked like Bill Goldberg on animal steroids? Why do all the "aliens" dress alike--what kind of group is Frieza leading (for that matter, why oh why did Saban use that voice for him--I just spent the last few episodes thinking he was a she!!)? Who are all the funky looking green dudes? Who the hell was that big pink fat-ass alien that Vegeta wasted (I'm sorry--"sent to another dimension") when he began to turn? What's with the turning into a giant ape creature? So many questions! ;) And personally, I seem to like Krillin, the little bald monk, best. I don't know, he strikes me as kind of the underdog, and I sort of like his character.
As for the RP.....I'm been sort of holding things off for a while till I see what Wilek and the others are going to do while Doug and Kit are "away" on their mission. I suppose I could explain it as one of two ways: SJ doesn't know of Jim's "death" yet (and therefore he's still waiting for him to arrive), or that he does know but doesn't want to upset Kari yet. Either way, though, I'll resolve it soon, don't worry. :)

Conan the Adventurer: I remember this show!! I was pretty cool. You had Conan (I loved the guy who did his voice--he had that perfect sort of superhero sound, I thought), this big African warrior guy, this sort of Middle Eastern magician (who's siblings were werewolves, if memory serves me), and this cute female warrior that was almost like a sidekick. The villains were cool too--you had the lizardmen, their leader Rathomon, and this evil sorceress who had the hots for Conan. All in all, I remember the show fondly. By Crom!!!

Coyote: Yep, first printing there, my boy. I was once lucky to find an issue of Wolverine #1 at a thrift shop--yes, a thrift shop. It was in good condition, and I paid all of 25 cents for it. At the time, it was worth 40 bucks. That will never happen to me again in a million years! ;-p

Spike: EXCELLENT deathmatch!!! I was laughing my arse off!! I still think my sides are hurting. Only a battle of Brooklyn's mates could be so rewarding. ;) And Sata looked mighty good in that sumo outfit! BTW, if you ever start taking requests....well, I'd like to throw myself into a deathmatch down the road. My luck though, I'd probably not survive it! ;-)

Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused his dentist's Novocain during root canal work? He wanted to transcend dental medication

A doctor made it his regular habit to stop off at a bar for a hazelnut daiquiri on his way home. The bartender knew of his habit, and would always have the drink waiting at precisely 5:03 p.m. One afternoon, as the end of the work day approached, the bartender was dismayed to find that he was out of hazelnut extract. Thinking quickly, he threw together a daiquiri made with hickory nuts and set it on the bar. The doctor came in at his regular time, took one sip of the drink and exclaimed, "This isn't a hazelnut daiquiri!" "No, I'm sorry," replied the bartender, "it's a hickory daiquiri, Doc."

A hungry lion was roaming through the jungle looking for something to eat. He came across two men. One was sitting under a tree reading a book; the other was typing away on his typewriter. The lion quickly pounced on the man reading the book and devoured him. Even the king of the jungle knows readers digest and writers cramp.

A woman has twins, and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Amal." The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him "Juan." Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his mom. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Amal. Her husband responds, "But they are twins. If you've seen Juan, you've seen Amal.

Hee hee hee! :P

Doug: Aw, you and Kitainia are leaving again? We'll miss ya.

Irina: Ack! That guy didn't know what a kaleidoscope is?!?! Yeesh!! Glad you were able to get out of that mess. I've got a friend who works at Fred Meyer, who has similar stories. One guy went in to get a garden hose, but ended up getting a soaker hose without realizing it. Then, for some reason, he hooked it to his kitchen sink and ran the hose through the house and out the back door. Then he tried to sue the company for the damage to his carpet and furniture. O_o But at least customers leave fairly quickly. I've got an idiot that I have to work with. I was showing him how to roll out thin-crust pizzas. I did one for him, showing him in detail every step of the process. He nodded, said, "Okay"--then proceeded to do something completely different from what I had showed him, and he had the balls to wonder why it didn't work. For one thing, I told him NOT to shove the dough into the roller, or it would jam up. He, of course, shoved it in, and it jammed. I cleared it out and repeated, "DON'T shove it in." He shoved it in again. And he kept pushing and pushing, jamming it farther in, packing it tighter... I went through that over and over for more than an hour. Man, I wanted to pour a whole bottle of degreaser down his throat....

BTW, I agree about Highlander. The first movie ended in a way that should've prevented anybody from even *considering* doing a sequal. And Methos rocks! The spinoff should've been centered on him, not that white-haired twit...

Jewel: I have the same problem. Sometimes I just start typing too fast, and don't notice until it's too late. But it's something that happens to everybody. :)

Delphi: LMAO! Ohh...gaaawd... hehehehehehe! (see above for more groaners :)

SPIKE'S CELEB DEATHMATCH - A great one! Of course, one of my characters was involved! :) Even though she didn't win, she made a good showing. Waydigo Roxanna!

Speaking of promoting new GCDM's, I've submitted a pair for Amy to mull over. One is a battle between my characters, David DeGuy and Alexander Xanatos (my version) vs. Jericho and Thailog. The other is between Amber and Rosanna Maza vs. Avery Bishop and Steven Edwards in a steel cage with special referee Katt (in her new mode, Vixen)...

Of course, I just suggested the match. Whether or not it come to fruitation is up to Amy Cyrway, and of course, Spike, Christine, and Coyote Bando as to whether or not I have permission to write the story of the fight. :)

But both would make a fantastic fight, no?

Eesh, the room seems so wierd with so many newbies...
Ah well, welcome newbies! Allow me to take your sanity and store it in a jar. I don't know what I'm gonna do with all of it yet but I'll come up with something.

Jonathan Frakes is 47? And bald? Eek.

Lexy- Hmm... I'm getting a scanner hooked up soon... After I do my mentorship stuff and TGS stuff and that Pokemon thing for Wilek, I might find time to do some gargs swimsuit stuff...

Irina- You're absolutley right, Lucas screwed up Darth Maul. The jerk.

Also, that Kentucky Bluegrass color used to be mine! Way back, many months ago...

Wilek- If possible, I'll start working on that Pokemon stuff Monday. For now, I've gotta try and get four comic pages from various series and art styles done this weekend.

Indiana traveler- Nope, I've been completley ignoring your posts. Thats why I know you're asking if we've been paying attention. 8)

Puns- All the people making them should be hurt. Although ANimaniacs once did an episode with nothing but jokes that were puns. Wierd. And I'm suddenly reminded of the Raichu episode of Pokemon...

"What a SHOCKING devlopment."
"That was quite a TAIL."
*slash* "You've both been PUNished."

Airwalker- Heh. The image issue of Turtles you got was back when Mirage was still around. They were in control of that mini-series, (Which I believe crossed over into Savage Dragon.) Its the Image SERIES, from after the death of Mirage, that stinks so much...

Histeria- The new season? Heh. Those are NOT new Histeria episodes. What happened was, season one was supposed to have 52 episodes. Well, some of the episodes for whatever reason took extra long to make. At this point, only about 40 episodes of that lousy show have been released. The remaining 12, which were on the season 1 budget, will be released this fall as "a new season". While I'm not happy this show will still be taking air time, I am satisfied that at least, more of the drivel isn't being paid for.

Conan and Thundar- I loved the first Conan animated series. Good plot, good stories, good characters and animation. (The story with the lizard people was never resolved tho...) The series that followed with three royal brats rather sucked, especially since one had a magic amulet that made him invincible... As far as Thundar... Before my time. I saw it once on cartoon Network and found it funny the comet hit in like 1986...

Jenna- I know which Elfquest picture you're referring to, and I REFUSE to try and do that for Gargs! Considering how many females are in there...

Male or female characters dominating a show- Heh. Dragonball Z. The girls can't do jack in that series. Its not until very late in the series that any female characters that can stand up to the rest come along, and then its just 18 and Videl... The rest of the series its Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, Vegeta, and Trunks doing all the fun stuff...

Superman and emotion- I will give credit to the first Darksied two parter credit for one thing... Despite being an all action 2-parter, there was some emotion when they killed Dan Turpin, who's model sheet was based off of Jack Kirby. Then they tributed the episode to Jack. Nice.

SJ- In case you haven't checked your mail yet, I sent you about as simplified a version of the Dragonball series as I could muster...

Ed- Grr... Why do you guys in the UK get the cool Sonic comicwhile over here we get lame 5 year old trash?

Shogun Raptor- Actually, Dinobot 2 and Rampage were hardly immortal. They TRIED to clone Starscream's immortal spark when they made Rampage. The end result was pretty durable, but hardly immortal as they were both killed in the final two episodes.

I have a few questions to ask the artists and writers of this world out there.

Writers- If you ever have visited my web site you'll notice that I do not tend to keep many stories up. This is for a reason. I was born paranoid. I am afraid that people will steal my ideas and re invent them to make stories of their own and produce them in actual book stores.

I have MANY ideas, and they are very good. And I defiantly have the ability to write them out and post them up. But the thought of someone stealing my stories haunts me.

My question is does anybody have any words of advice to help easse those tensions? I would like to post the many fan-fics I have but fear crawls up my back.


Artists- I am an excellent pencil drawer and if need be I will switch to color pencils. I have no problem with that and I have many pictures of gargoyles I can post up.

I just want to know, from all the ink and pen drawers out there, how long did it take you to get the feel of the pen? I'm just starting and I'm a little curious.

The most common reason for Titania's refusing to heal Elisa is the law that cannot be broken, a law the fey seem to bend all to hell when it is convenient for them. And now Elisa, and Goliath have not the least bit of resentment at this? That is not in any way realistic, even in the gargoyles universe. At some point Elisa, and Goliath's help is going to be needed, and it would provide great pleasure to see them tell Titania where to go, and to clean there own messes. You have to admit the fey's arrogant attitude, and holding themselves above it all makes one want to place a 30 megaton thermonuclear bomb in Avalon, and vaporize the whole island. Would serve them right.

Irina> you like Sandman and Marmalade Boy. Oh wow. I'm in love. (Well, not really, but you have, within a very short ammount of time, managed to establish yourself on my list of people who aren't a waste of effort.)

By the way, have you seen Fushigi Yuugi and/ or Escaflone. If so, which did you like better? I have a running argument with a friend over which of the two was the most perfectly stereotypical Anime ever.

FY managed, even though all the action took place in mythic China, to destroy Tokyo with a giant lizard.

Escaflone had the psychic girl, the Best Swordsman in the Universe, and giant battle mechs, but its' giant lizard only ravaged a minor suburb.

It's a tough choice.

Spike- read "Catfight" it was a howl!!(And that's a compliment)

SJ- :P "in bikinis!!" REally! Down, boy, Down!!

Glad there are so many besides me that liked Thundar-- Actually when I was little, my nick name was Jendar-- I liked the show THAT Much-- scary, huh!? :P

Own fanfic progress-- well hoped to have part 2 of matters of Fate out by now-- looks like it will be in the beginning of Sept.

Tragedy-- hmmm-- some times I think there is a diff between Tragedy and NIHILISM. Tragedy, as it is shown in alot of Japanese Animation, I love-- it effects me. There seems to be more poincy in it than just nihisltic (sp- ack) stories-- does this make sense to anyone?

I write alot about Fate in my fanfic and orginal stories-- I just love the concept of fate- that the hero/heroine is called on to do something they were born to do-- that it could be done by no one else. I love to play with the idea of prophesy, and that prophesy doesn't always come in the front door, and usually doesn't mean what everyone expects it too. I intend to play alot with the Future Tense dream/prophesy in my story, but I don't intend to display it as what everyones else expects or has written already-- Fate/ and God writes straight with crooked lines-- that is a paradox I have always loved to write about.

How's that for a teaser--:P

Quick post because I jsut thought of something. If y'all want to see an image of Akira Hojo and Chiaki Asami (1 and 2, altough in different orders, on me and Irina's respective "hot animated males" list), click on my name--I was working on a webpage dedicated to the manga "Sanctuary", (I don't know when I'll get to actually finish the bloody page. Maybe after I move and get a scanner and my books) but they look the exact same in the anime that was made from the series. And Cyring Freeman is from the manga/anime by the same name, and was drawn by the same guy as drew "Sanctuary." <sigh> And to think, all of *them* pale in comparison to Shingo Kusaka in "Strain," also drawn by Ryoichi Ikegami.

Spike>>>liked deathmatch LOL

Well I just got back from shopping with my youngest, we went and got her hair cut, hit Mc D's for lunch and the bought her school clothes, I am so happy that she is going to school this year, but I know I'm going to miss having her around on my day's off during school. I havn't started crying yet about sending my baby off to school, but I just might on the 30th when school starts.

**enters the room, switching out the candles with one that looks kind of like a '58 Fairlane on its trunk**

Hey, thought I'd do something Gargs *and* car related tonight, on the biggest night for classic car enthusaists everywhere ... that's right, it's the WOODWARD DREAM CRUISE!! YEAHHH!!!

**composes self**

Sorry. But yeah, I have fun gawking. And I hope that in the next couple of years I can become a participant with "Now and Forever" ... and here's some *really* wishful thinking for ya, maybe with Ravyn as my backup driver.

**sighs, glances at the candle for a brief moment, then continues**

Fire Storm: Ifn's ya want 3-D modeling, talk to my ex ... she took a college course on Lightwave 3D.
About Gibraltar ... ain't that place sweet? I myself went there yesterday to have that plate made, and am going back tomorrow to have the frame for it engraved with something Garg-related that seems somewhat suitable for this Cadillac:
"The spell is broken ...
WE LIVE AGAIN!"

SJ: Thanks for the clarification on Brion James ... too bad about him, yeah. **sigh**
Second printing for "Harley Quinn?" Whoa, I've got an instant collector's item (mine's is a first printing! YESS!! Combine that with my first printing "Preacher" #1 around here somewhere and I can put 'em in a safe deposit box and have gold later on down the line. :).

Pissy and Delphi: Unnnnnnnnhhhhh ... **rolls on floor in convulsions** ;)

Wilek: Possibly construed as such ... but the thing is, the duality of the character is what put her on my (extended) list.

Jewel and Irina: Nice lists.

Jenniren: Seen that one before, but it's still painful. ;)

Shogun: Have ye seen the other two deathmatches that Cyrway has up at the page? One of them is special for me, because I co-wrote it with Cyrway (writing our own characters' attacks ... for those who didn't see it, the match was Kat vs. Samson). The other one I liked because it was all cars (the drag race between Cyrway's Artemis and the infamous Maza Fairlane.).

Fire Storm: Congrats on the comp. being up, and please pass along my congratulations to LM on the potential job, as well.

And just in time ... the DREAM CRUISE is comin' on!!!

YES! My desktop is FINALLY able to go on-line after 3 months of not being able to. No idea WHY it suddenly decided to work, though.

My lovely Lady Mystic was offered a job at a place while helping me set up thier computer network. She was just there helping me, and they asked if she wanted to work for them. Now she's just deciding wether to take it or not. It's a company that's on it's way up, and I will also be suplying them with computer stuff.The president of the company asked her and he said that he liked her from when he first met her!
WAY TO GO LM!

Entity: Batgirl dieing was aparently a dream sequence of Batman/Superman. Batgirl is the comissioner in Batman Beyond.

Wilek: Hey, 3d models of people are FAIRLY easy. Theres a program called Photomodeler that can take a few photo's of an object (Or a person in the same pose) and make a 3d model out of it. I got a copy of it around here somewhere...
Bonnieway, you can download it from the site.
<Clickie my linkie for it.>

Irina: Congratulations for getting out of retail! I was stuck there for almost 2 years and I will NEVER go back there again to work! (Hell, I only plan on going there once to shop, then I will try to NEVER set foot in that store again!)

I'm back all you crazey people!

I'm a bit woozy because my family's painting the house and the fumes are getting to me. SO if I dumb anything I say, you reason now know why...:)

First off I didn't realize there were 60 people in this chat room now. That adds to my lists of headaches...:P

Spike- I read that Celeberty Deathmatch thing. First off I don't watch Celeberty Deathmatch in Real Life because my Television doesn't get the channel. ::pauses for a sob or two::, thankfully that uplifted my spirits. It was funny and I thought the picture was awsomely cool. Too bad you can't put ALL of Brooklyn's girlfriends from every fan-fic in..........then again maybe not......(imagines about 25 to 50 girls attacking Brooklyn)

Jenniren- Nice Pun story. Although I think my brain has been warped.

Now I just want to write. So here is 10 Gargoyle love matches with Pokemon to annoy the heck out of you. ( If your not a Pokemon fan then you won't know these...) If this has already been done then fine.....

10. Goliath Bulbasuar
9. Angela and Cubone
8. Demona and Electrabuzz (considering Electrabuzz kills anything wearing red, this suits just fine with Demona since she can't die....)
7. Zafrio and Arbok (he needs another like him)
6. David Xanatoos and Squirtle
5. Lexington and Charizard
4. Hudson and Ditto
3. Coldstone and Magnemite (get 'em sparks flying)
2. Elisa Maza and Tentacruel (?)
and the number one match....
1. Broadway and JigglyPuff

At least I didn't mention Pikachu.....although he and Owen was a nice match.....so now that I've utterly made you sick...........

Spike> you should see my gargs celebrity deathmatch fic, it's not like yours, more like a traditional celebrity deathmatch with gargoyles, the fight card was Coldstone vs. "stone cold" steve Austin, Jackal & Hyena vs. Hugh and seven of nine and the main event: Oberon vs. Darth Vader, I also have yet to work on the sequel, Gargs vs. Beat wars, for that little gem, Lexington will take on Waspinator (green and easily beaten)
Fang will battle Rattrap (both lechers as well as the whole cat/mouse bit) and in a main event that will raise the art of violence to new lows: Demona, Macbeth and Jon Canmore(none of that quarry BS, he's all hunter in this bout)
Vs. Rampage, Transmetal 2 Dinobot and Depth charge (both are immortals with heavily armed mortals hunting them)

Here's my contribution to the bad-pun collection, forwarded to me by my cousin:

PILLSBURY DOUGHBOY DEAD AT 71

Veteran Pillsbury spokesman Pop N Fresh died yesterday of a severe yeast infection. He was 71.

Fresh was buried in one of the largest funeral ceremonies in
recent years. Dozens of celebrities turned out, including
Mrs. Butterworth, the California Raisins, Hungry Jack, Betty
Crocker, and the Hostess Twinkies.

The graveside was piled with flours as longtime friend Aunt
Jemima delivered the eulogy, describing Fresh as a man who
"never knew how much he was kneaded."

Fresh rose quickly in show business, but his later life was
filled with many turnovers.

He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of
his dough on half-baked schemes. Still, even as a crusty old man, he was a roll model for millions.

Fresh is survived by his second wife, they have two children
and one in the oven.

The funeral was held at 2:25 for 20 minutes.

More consumer labels for your enjoyment

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: Product will be hot after heating.
(Are you sure???Let's experiment.)

On packaging for a Rowenta iron: Do not iron clothes on body.
(But wouldn't that save more time?)

On Boot's Children's cough medicine:
Do not drive car or operate machinery.

(My definition of PG-13 is very different from the motion pictures standard) Thought i have to say after tha Brooklyn should have no right to complain about his love life. If I were in the position, I'd be trying to sublet the others to my two brothers. "You know there's more of me back home." It was funny.

OK, I need to amend my list, because somehow, I managed to forget Xanatos. D'oh.

Hot males, revised:
1. Hojo (from the anime "Sanctuary"--I had to say which one because I know some of y'all play FF7 and there's a Hojo in there)
2. Asami (from "Sanctuary") (all I gotta say about these two is *daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn*)
3. Xanatos
4. Crying Freeman
5. Gambit
6. Captain Sheng from "Mulan"
7. Brooklyn
8. Owen
9. Wolverine
10. Yakko (don't ask me why; I have no idea)

Oh, and Irina forgot to preface her list (she was all hjyper to get it out, she forgot to say what it was) Her list o'characters was "Hot animated men", too.

Damn, the hormones are thick right now. (I am a Mawrter, there are no hormones. I am a Mawrter, there are no...oh, who the hell am I trying to kid?)

(That reference, BTW, is to the ST episode "Operation: Annihilate!" in which Spock, who looked really, *really* hot the whole bloody ep, started saying "I am a Vulcan, there is no pain." The room full of hormonal women started saying, "I am a Mawrter [nickname for a Bryn Mawr student or alum], there are no hormones...oh, who are we *kidding*?")

1. Asami
2. Hojo ("Sanctuary," of course, Not FF7)
3. Crying Freeman
4. Gambit
5. Captain Sheng from "Mulan"
6. Xanatos
7. Miwa from "Marmalade Boy"
8. Wolverine

Ok, ppl, I'm including video games here, since technically they are animated. :)
9. Squall Leonheart, upcoming hero of FFVIII. I mean, good God... well, that pretty much covers it...
10. Sephiroth. I'm sorry, people, but he just Is. At the end there, especially...

Btw, I"m only putting these two as 9 and 10 because only technically do they fit in the category. They would otherwise fit in slots 4 and 5, respectively. Just move all the others down.

Okay, we've now done hot males, to some extent, I still want to see some other responses to this one. But how about favorite male animated characters?
I'll have to think about this one for a while...

Adrienne: You stopped reading after Belinda died which time? I'm just curious...

OK, now we gotta be fair. If we're mentioning hot *female* characters, you have to do hot male ones. My list:

1. Hojo (from the anime "Sanctuary"--I had to say which one because I know some of y'all play FF7 and there's a Hojo in there)
2. Asami (from "Sanctuary") (all I gotta say about these two is *daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn*)
3. Crying Freeman
4. Gambit
5. Captain Sheng from "Mulan"
6. Brooklyn
7. Goliath
8. Wolverine
9. Yakko (don't ask me why; I have no idea)
10. Tigra from "Thundercats"

Sorry about the double, there was just something I wanted to say on the subject of Highlander.
The most complete story in Highlander that has been told is probably the series.
As for the movies, let me just say There Should Have Been Only One! Though the first movie made plenty of mistakes, most of which were corrected in the series. But it was still by far better than the other two travesties.
In my opinion, the best character of the whole thing was in the series, Methos.

Pistoff-
I work retail, in the store Natural Wonders (Today is my last day, thank God). The other day, I had a shift, and I had to work with a couple of people who took me around the store, pointing to items and asking what the price tags said. This took about a half an hour. Then they took me Back through the store, asking what everything was.
Here's the most memorable quote for the day, this was after I had kind of degenerated into sarcasm:
Stupid people: "Kaleidoscope? What is a kaleidoscope? How does it work?"
Me: "You look through it. Scope. It's pretty."
Part of the reason I let myself get sarcastic was because one of the first things they said was "we are not here to buy, but..."
I love retail. :|

**RP HERE**

Doug returns to the transport room to find the others waiting for him, including Jaden and Shogun Raptor's group. "I'm coming with you guys," Jaden says, and Doug nods. "Alright. Jammer, did you find Fleur?" "She was in the ladies room," the Ravens' driver sighs. "I couldn't go in there. I left a note for her with the Avatar's bartender, I guess Fleur can meet us in Akron if she wants to join us later." "Okay," Doug sighs. "I suppose that will be good enough." "This is Shogun," Kit introduces the strangers, "and his friends. They helped out some in the Borg battle and want to come with us now." Doug smiles and shakes their hands. "Okay, let's go," he says after doing so and they all step through the prepared gateways, having already said their goodbyes to those staying on the Avatar. They come out in a Chicago MIB parking garage where they find Jammer's station wagon, Stephanie's Taurus, and whatever vehicle Shogun's team will be using waiting for them. "On to Akron?" Stephanie asks as they pile into the cars. "First we take Ruth home," Doug answers, noticing the girl's look of sullen disappointment. "Cheer up," he tells her. "You knew you couldn't stay with us forever." "Yeah," Ruth agrees sadly. "But why did my stay have to be so short?" "That's the way it went," Kit replies, Ruth nodding agreement as they pull out and start heading for her mother's house.

**END RP FIRST HALF**

Hi everyone. Time for another of my posts, and I'm sorry to say it will be the last one for a while. Kit and I have to go out of town this afternoon on important business, we won't get back till Wednesday. I don't want to say what the business is yet, but will when we get back. Hopefully it will be good news. :) $ Note- The RP is not suspended during our absence, those players who are still around can and should do whatever they want to continue its story. We just won't be participating much until our return Wednesday night. Until then just assume our team is headed for Akron and in our next post we will arrive. :) $

Fanfic Progress: I'm glad to say I'll be leaving Part 2 of Protected Species at a good stopping point. Sunset, to be exact. :) I'll pick it up after Kit and I get back, and it will probably take a few more weeks after that. I'd finish it faster, but school for us starts next Thursday, and so we'll be busy. :(

Welcome to all newcomers. Happy Belated Birthday to all who've had one recently that I missed.

Hot Animated Characters: My personal list includes Elisa, Angela, Demona, Fox, Titainia (Gargoyles), AndrAIa (Reboot), Teela (He-Man), Dana (Batman Beyond), Agent L (MIB), Felicia Hardy/Black Cat (Spiderman), Sata, Brianna, Ari (TGS), Laura Powers (The Simpsons), Daria (from the MTV show of the same name), Sonia (Invasion America), Sakura (Street Fighter), Natsu, Akira (Rival Schools- United by Fate), Emeralda (Xenogears), Jessica (Lunar Silver Star Story), Tifa Lockheart (Final Fantasy 7), Mulan (Disney film of same name), and Rynn (Drakan).

Interesting Tidbit: I know why the pastor in that article Wilek showed us was pissed off about Pokemon named Abra and Cadabra. According to the research on demons I've done for my fanfic, there were supposedly a pair of minor devils related to magic and necromancy with those names. This kind of paranoia fits in perfectly with FE mentality. <shakes head slowly> Wonder what my dad (who lives in Colarado Springs) thinks about it. <shrugs> Maybe I should ask him soon.

Irina: Good statement about tragedy, I agree with every word of it. I've read and enjoyed all those stories you've mentioned, and have to say now that I've thought about it, they had way better plots, characters, and quotes than any videogame I've ever played. Especially Xenogears. That's my opinion and I think it's also that of most critics. :)

traveler: Hmm, what name would be best for you? <feels song coming on> Hobo, Wanderer, Nomad, Vagabond, call me what you will...<stops> Wanderer sounds fine to me.

Paul: Thanks for your further explanation on how you percieve the Fei and Elly relationship, I'm glad to know the differences between the way I see it and the way you do. I'll drop that subject now. As for what I thought of Lunar 2, IMO it's one of the best RPGs ever made. I can hardly wait for the remake this winter, hope they don't change things around too much and wreck everything as sometimes happens with remakes. Zophar made an especially good villain, we enjoyed wiping the arrogant smirk off his face so to speak. <grin> Most of what else I thought has already been said by Kit. Oh, btw, we did find Leo in the epilogue. He didn't say anything particularly special, but it was nice to see all the game's plotlines resolved at the end. With new possibilities on the Blue Star. :)

Van Damme: I agree with everyone else about his poor acting ability, though I have enjoyed some of his older movies. Universal Soldier was entertaining, mainly because of Dolph Lundgren's excellent preformance. (I didn't like the two HBO Unisol sequels much, but they did have pretty good villains. And Chandra West is one hot babe. :)

Street Fighter was one of the better films with Van Damme in it IMO, but that's mainly due to Raul Julia's great preformance. The script was pretty good too, except for Dhalsim and Blanka. Ken and Ryu weren't that great either. Only Sagat, Bison, Vega, Deejay, and Zangief were perfectly done and thus memorable. They made the movie tolerable for me.

**WEEKEND MOVIE SPOILERS AHEAD**

Speaking of Van Damme Kit and I saw his new film yesterday (we were in the mood for action). It's his worst movie yet. Plot has more craters than the moon, no character development or continuity with the other Universal Soldier films, no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Even Goldberg's decent preformance didn't make it entertaining. They're gonna lose money on this one. Bigtime. 1/10, thumbs pointing at the lowest circle of Inferno.

A much better film to see this weekend would be Mickey Blue Eyes, which we also checked out. It's full of great jokes, and the plot and script are quite entertaining, if not that well-written. Hugh Grant and Jeanne Tripplehorn give pretty good preformances, and James Caan delivers one of the best of his career. This one gets a 9/10, thumbs way up. Go see it, if you like Mafia action and romantic comedy you will definitely enjoy!

**SPOILERS END**

Mary: Thanks for the link to your school's webpage, it looks like a very nice place to get educated. Good luck with your work there this year.

Kaioto: Get well soon. And thanks for posting the great commentary on evil, nihilism, and selfishness. I'll be remembering it as I develop Jadriel in some of my upcoming fics.

Lady Arianna: Welcome back! And congrats on getting the new PC.

Dungeons and Dragons: I used to watch that show, but unfortunately don't remember it too well. :( I've enjoyed the game it's based on a lot, though, and often still do. :)

Dags: Sorry to hear about your accident, hope everything works out for you soon.

Traveler: Thanks for the great Zophar joke, that had me ROFLMAO.

<Moment of silence for Brion James> Sorry to hear that guy's dead, I liked his roles a lot. Maybe I'll honor his memory by having Laura express grief over the passing of a favorite relative in an upcoming fic. :)

Thundarr: I watched that show too. It was pretty cool. Neat action and characters. I've always liked Conan the Barbarian better than Thundarr the Barbarian, though, especially in his Conan the Adventurer show.

Male vs. Female Characters: I agree that too often in TV shows and stories characters of one gender seem more powerful and developed than those of the other. Hope that so far I'm avoiding that in my fics. (No one's accused me of it yet, that's a good sign. :) I hate PC stuff too.

Tailchaser's Song: Sounds like I better read that book soon. Thanks for the info that recommended it to me, Aaron. Hope it's as good as Tad Williams' Green Angel Tower trilogy (which I've read and enjoyed a lot).

And that's all I had to say, I'll see you all again Wednesday night. Hail and farewell!! <waves>

**RESUME RPING**

The Ravens' convoy arrives at Ruth's mother's house and knock on the door. Mrs. Potter comes to the door and immediately bursts into tears as she embraces her daughter. "I heard what happened on the news. I was so worried, thank God you're alive." She turns to the Ravens. "Thank you, thank you for watching over my daughter." "No problem, ma'am," Doug smiles. "You know, your daughter's quite a formidable shot with an assault rifle. We didn't have to watch over her very much." Ruth smiles in thanks while her mother frowns and looks concerned. "Um," she recovers, "would you all like to come in for a drink?" "Sorry, but we have to get back on the road," says Kitainia. "More to do ahead in our continuing mission to save the world from hostile takeover." Mrs. Potter nods. "Alright then. I wish you all good luck. You'll be in my prayers." "Mine too," Ruth agrees. "Thanks again for all the great fun we had together." She and her mother wave goodbye as the Ravens get back into their cars and drive off, headed towards the freeway that will get them to Akron.

Meanwhile, in the enemy's secret base, Kharsus walks into Thailog's office with a smile on his face. "Our imp friend Zezil just picked up the Ravens' trail again," he reports. "They came out of the Chicago MIB garage, just like you thought they would. They should be headed for Akron now." "Good," Thailog chuckles wryly. "Have him keep them under surveillance, and get Agent Tau and his men to Akron so they can set up the trap. As soon as the Ravens are captured, Phalanx Prime will begin enacting our next plan." Kharsus nods and leaves to carry out his orders as the screen goes blank.

AIRWALKER - For that matter, one almost wonders how Gotham City was able to survive for 20 years without Batman around, given that the mood of that place was a gloom-ridden decaying city overrun by freakish and bizarre criminals that the regular police were unable to hold back. Either Batman must have handled permanently practically all the "rogues' gallery" members so that it was just the regular criminals and not the "super-villain" ones left to plague Gotham, or else the city's defences must have stepped up a bit (either via the police, or possibly Derek Powers giving some help to Gotham in return for getting more power to control Gotham as he wanted).

**No RP tonight <sigh>...**

Paul> <<"If I sleep here, mom comes into my dreams."-Yua>> The guy's mom is Freddy Krueger? Ack. (Why are these games so easy to MST? ;P )

Delphi> Sinko de Mayo and Mary Poppins. OH THE PAIN! ;P

Todd> It's your birthday too? Kewlies! Hm...what would be an appropriate present...a Phoenix Gate? Nah, more trouble than it's worth...

Fave cartoon girls> I rarely if ever think in terms of physical attraction, but there are a few who make the list for other reasons, such as Rebecca Cunningham, Harley Quinn, and Mercy (from Superman).

Aaron> <<Forget Janeway, I said great captains.>> Still, anyone who's disappointed when the *Borg* get away from *her*... :)

Christine> <<found out last night that my father the Confederate soldier was an extra in Wild Wild West!>> Woah. Which scene? I'll remember it when I get the DVD. ^_^

Kitainia> << <kills Deanna Troi in some gruesomely painful manner involving a straight razor> >> Heh...[The sun sets, and the former corpse of Deanna Troi regenerates into a ticked-off looking gargoyle, who fortunately is sedated and carted off before she can cause too much trouble.] Considering the actress involved, I couldn't resist doing something sick, wrong, and evil with this. >;)

The Artist Soon To Be Formerly Known As traveler?> <<so now to make everything right again I need some help in coming up with a name that Helps sum up who I am like traveler did>> How 'bout Sojourner? Or, failing that, Nightwalker.

DarkAngel> Heh...the Jar Jar Project has a half-second or two scene with George Lucas, who is explicitly identified as such just so there can be no mistake, going after Jar Jar and ranting something about Jar Jar having 'ruined my masterpiece'. >:)

Coyote> <<Dang, if I'd known I coulda included movies [...]>> Couldn't one of your comments be considered a major spoiler for 'Mask Of The Phantasm'?

SOROW> <<Do you know that there are more than 60 of us???!!!>> WOW. Now there's a good-sized asylum. ^_^

Fire Storm> <<Has anyone made any Gargoyles 3d models?>> Er...I'm not sure if it's 3d Studio or not, but I think someone's done an unfinished Bronx model. Heh, if I knew a really good 3D artist who took free commissions, I'd have him/her do a render of me. (Big surprise there. :P ) <<I saw the Brittney video (In my head) and Jar-Jar was wearing a school girl outfit dancing in the hall with Brittney.>> That's a fairly accurate description of Hell.

SJ> <<I'm trying to get into it, watching the eps on Cartoon Network thanks to everyone's (and especially yours) recommendation, and I am friggin lost as can be.>> You too? Some MIT scientists were given tapes of this series and told to find out what in the name of the Force was going on. They have yet to succeed. Speaking of DBZ, what's up with the pronunciation of Namek? I always thought it was 'Nay-mek' (kinda named one of my fic characters after it), but in recent eps it's been the awful 'Nammick'. Eesh.

Shogun Raptor> <<Galtar and the golden lance (two swords that became one double-bladed weapon that just SCREAMED Darth Maul, had he come out yet)>> Hm...you know, I do believe that Maul wasn't the first Star Wars villain to have a lightsaber like that. I think that honor goes to a Star Wars comic book (I think) villain named Exar Kun.

Pistoff> Jokes> You are evil. ;P <<When she told me I was average, she was just being mean.>> Heh...you know, it took me a few seconds to figure this one out...

I dunno which was worse, their spitting on the game plots or the casting of that bicep-brained Belgian as Guile, and what they did to Blanka and Dhalsim..HONESTLY!!!! Poor Raul Julia, one of the last films he did was that load o' cr@p

Bob Skir, or the future of transformers is tense> I'm reminded of a quote by Dave Lister (Red Dwarf) "Just because she has an IQ of twelve hundred thousand doesn't mean she can play pool" In other words, these guys can write great eps like "future tense" but it doesn't mean they can carry a Transformers series, especially seeing as how they up and whizzed on continuity...AND MANGLED MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS FOR THE SAKE OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS@!!!!!!

Coyote: No prob. :) I know how people can be. Honestly, with all the crap people like us have to put up with, I'm amazed that we've managed to stay outta jail. :P Incidentally, I've got another one for ya. This guy called this morning, and had a coupon for two medium pizzas. He also wanted a 2-liter Coke. Okay, fine, no problem...but when I told him the total, he said, "Can'tcha go any cheaper 'n 'at?"

"No," I said. "You already have a coupon, you're getting a discount already."

"I know. But can't ya, y'know, make it cheaper?"

All I could do was shake my head. What a stupid son of a bitch! Fell out of a stupid tree and hit every f--kin' branch!

Ah, I feel better now... :)

Delphi: Oh, gaaaaawwwwwd! Have to admit, that one caught me by surprise, though it shouldn't have. ;) This one was pretty bad. So, for a bit of revenge, I offer the following groaners...

Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, but when they lit a fire in the craft it sank - proving once and for all that you can't have your kayak and heat it, too.

Two boll weevils grew up in South Carolina. One went to Hollywood and became a famous actor. The other stayed behind in the cotton fields and never amounted to much. The second one, naturally, became known as the lesser of two weevils.

This guy goes into a restaurant for a Christmas breakfast while in his home town for the holidays. After looking over the menu he says, "I'll just have the eggs Benedict." His order comes a while later and it's served on a big, shiny hubcap. He asks the waiter, "What's with the hubcap?" The waiter sings, "Oh, there's no plate like chrome for the hollandaise!"

When she told me I was average, she was just being mean.

A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. "But why?," they asked, as they moved off. "Because," he said, "I can't stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer."

Okay, I guess that's enough torture for now... ;)

SJ: Actually, in an interview Van Damme mentioned that he used to deliver pizzas. I'm not sure how to feel about that.... ;) He must not have been doing it very long, otherwise he wouldn't come across as such a nice guy in his interviews--or even his movies. He's got the kind of voice that makes him hard to take seriously as a tough guy. Every time he says one of his lines, he just sounds...nice. But I agree, it would be fun to send him right back to that pizza-delivery purgatory and I could take a...heh...whack at a movie career. Though I probably wouldn't vivisect people. It'd be over too quickly. ;)

Universal Soldier sequals: Why make a sequal? Leaving all the other problems with the original aside, I think the first one told a complete story, and there's simply no need for sequels. Just as Highlander told a complete story--and at the end, it was OVER. There shouldn't have been any sequels...or a TV series, for that matter. But at least the TV show was damn good.

Jewel: Ummm...ahem. SJ's "Pist of the North Star" comment wasn't a typo. He was referring to me, since I occasionally tag my posts with that phrase (I've only done it a few times, just for the hell of it). It was Denis De Plaen's idea, actually. It hadn't even occurred to me until he suggested it, so I said to myself, hey, why not? But, uh...speaking of typos...you typed it, "Pist of the *Norht* Star." **chuckles** Irony can be so ironic... ;)

More Universal Soldier stuff: It was pretty good, as far as action movies go. But I think it would've been a lot more interesting to see the inner, psychological goings-on regarding a guy who was murdered, brought back to life as a killing machine, and then started to regain his memories. It would've been interesting to see him try to put his life back together. Heh, could've made a fairly decent TV series...

*no RP for now*
Thundarr, I remember him, and I remember his friend who looked like a cross between a Wookie and a scooby-doo villain, as I recall, the comet hit in 1994, according to the show, speaking of shows, I remember the Herculoids as well, my fave was Zok (the dragon-looking thing), secondly was Tundro (the rock-shooting twelve-legged triceratops thing)
but then I've always been a sucker for self-generated projectile attacks, speaking of which, anyone remember a cartoon called Samson and Goliath, there were two heroes, a guy who turned into the biblical strongman and his lion, Goliath who had some sort of heat-vision thing going on.
and speaking of hanna-barbera cartoons with cool weapons, remember Galtar and the golden lance (two swords that became one double-bladed weapon that just SCREAMED Darth Maul, had he come out yet)
what about Robotix, or Bigfoot and the muscle machines, and all those old 80's toons, but I digress, I was a big TMNT fan, I was partial to Don, both for his lex-esque affinity for machines (ror does lex have a Don-esque affinity for machines) and that cool-@$$ Bo of his, but then of all the villains in the cartoons I just mentioned, Shredder was one of if not the most formidable villain, even without any minions, henchmen, or technology, he was a formidable foe, but he was no Megatron, but I've always been a transfan, geez, imagine if instead of Krang, shredder allied himself with the decepticons, talk about turtle soup

Just passin' through...

Universal Soldier> I agree, Van Damme can't act worth a dime and he isn't taking on any movies with the potential to prove otherwise (same with Seagal). The first Universal Soldier was a great film, because Van Damme's role was that of a non-talkative, expressionless character. Lungren carried the movie, he was fantastic! But now they've not only got two sequels, they've got two Part 2's. *shakes head* Talk about confused continuity. My family owns a small video store, so I've seen the direct-to-video Part 2. They re-enacted the final battle scene from the original with new actors for Van Damme and Lungren!

Batman> In which did they kill off Batgirl, Batman Beyond or the Batman/Superman one? I don't really care about the Batman/Superman version... I don't like Nightwing. He has no point in being there. But ah well... If they're maintaining some semblence of continuity between the two shows then I'm guessing Batgirl dies in Batman Beyond? Pity... I thought her character had evolved nicely. I agree, that if Batman's going to have one last time in the spotlight it should be with Joker, not Bane. Hmmm...I really should start watching the eps again, but they're on sooo early...

SJ> Here are two links to DBZ pages:

The second one has short episode summaries, while the first has a series timeline.

SJ: "The *Pist* of the Norht Star"? I have to say, that typo gives the sentance a whole new level of meaning (and Irina is now the one convulsing on the floor. And yes, I'm over ather house again. I had to get out of the house where I was. I need my own space, and like, now) Oh, and Irina is a BIG Ellison fan--she was the one who introduced me to Ellison, and I had the fun of watching her follow Ellison around for 2 days and running at top speed to get front row seats for every panel he was speaking in (and to think,I wondered for a while why Ellison declared me the "protector of the virginal waifs"...)

***BEGIN RP****
In one of the guest quarters of the Avatar of Ganon, SJ waits patiently as Kari finishes getting ready. After her ordeal, she had desired a shower and some clean clothes. Now dressed in a simple jumpsuit on loan from the station's clothes racks, she dried her hair with a towel and listened to SJ explain to her what happened in detail. "Well, one of those Borg kids--Brendan I think it was--was able to hide further up the corridor as we took out Berg and his two pals. Before any of us could react, he had fired, hit you, and sent the rest of us scrambling."
"So you brought me here," Kari said.
"Yep. It had the best medical facilities nearby for your type of injuries. Somehow I don't think any of the locals hospitals would know how to handle a laser wound. So anyway, I came here with you, and the others took out the Devastator."
"How long was I in a coma?"
"Hmm....a few days. Things were real touch and go there for a while."
"But the staff healed me, right?"
SJ looked uncomfortable. He had yet to explain to anyone why Kari was suddenly well and fit....least of all the Borg doctors, who were confused by her sudden recovery. "Um...yeah, they made you all better."
Kari walked over and sat down beside SJ. She carefully took his hand in her own, her eyes facing downwards. "Junior....I...I'd just like to thank you. You know, for being there for me. For staying beside me while I was hurt."
SJ's face went serious. "It was the least I could do. I mean...I was responsible for what happened to you. If you hadn't come along--"
"Don't say that," Kari interrupted him. "I went with you because I'm fighting for the same things you are. I'm a big girl, I know the risks, and I can handle them. It's not your fault. I think it's sweet you stayed with me the whole time. I won't forget it, Junior." And with that, she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and ruffled his hair with her hand.
SJ blushed. "Oh..um...thank you. Um....shall we see what Wilek's up too?"
****END RP FOR NOW****

Irina: Are you an Ellison fan as well? I love the man's work. I'm currently reading "Slippage" again, for about the dozenth time. The man is absolutely brilliant!
And for the record, "Antigone" is one of my favorite tragedies. I was extraordinarily moved by her death. They don't write them any better than the Greeks did, that's for sure.

Robby: Brion James played General Munro in "The Fifth Element". It wasn't a major role, but it was a decent part, and Brion was no stranger to sci-fi. It was nice to see him play a hero, though; he was usually typecast as a villain.
BTW, can you point me to a good (i.e. *informative*) web/fansite for Dragonball Z? I'm trying to get into it, watching the eps on Cartoon Network thanks to everyone's (and especially yours) recommendation, and I am friggin lost as can be. All I know is Goku, Gohan, and some little bald guy are the good guys (I actually think baldy is kind of cool ;) and all the villains dress off the same rack......oh, and some badass mofo named Vegetable (j/k ;) is gonna kill everyone. I need the 411! :)

Coyote: The Harlequin one-shot is so dern popular, they're already going to issue a second printing in a couple weeks. I thought it was great--Harly belongs soooo much in the original, comic Bats universe. I need her infectious brand of psycho-demented cuteness!

Batgirl's Dead: I too enjoyed this episode, although, being the hardcore Bats fan that I am, I would have preferred the final hurray of Batman be between him and Joker, not Bane. However, Bane was more fitting for the story. Kudos to the creative team behind this episode--it was far more dark and foreboding (not to mention apocalyptic and depressing) than most of the other WB Bats episodes.

Jenna: A "Women of Gargoyles" pic, huh? Are they all gonna be in bikinis???
Okay, I was trying to be sexist there. ;-p :)

Universal Solider 2 & 3: Sweet merciful Jaysus, they DID make 2 sequels to the original. The immortal question is, WHY??? I mean, the first one was a decent action/adventure film with sci-fi overtones, but did it really warrant a sequel? I think it's a sad state of affairs for Jean-Claude's career that he has to return to this well again. Why is this man still making movies? Why can't he follow Steven Seagal's direction and drop off the face of the planet? (Look, I say that now, and Segal will probably have about 10 films in the next year....sigh)
Personally, if I was running things, Van Damme would be hocking deep dishes down at the Pizza Hut and we'd be seeing the Pist of the North Star vivisecting people on the big screen. :)

Thundarr: I remember this show. Very odd, and I only have vague recollections of it. I know that I thought his alien sidekick was pretty cool. Don't they still show this sometimes on Cartoon Network? Or am I thinking of that peachy keen "Herculoids" show?

Okay, don't kill me for this one, but it was funny to me the second time around, so I just had to share it

Mary Poppins was traveling home, but due to worsening weather,she decided to stop at a hotel for the night. She approached the receptionist and asked for a room for the night.
"Certainly madam," he replied courteously.
"Is the restaurant open still?" inquired Mary.
"Sorry, no," came the reply, "but room service is available all night.
"Would you care to select something from this menu?"
Mary smiled and took the menu and perused it. "Hmm, I would like cauliflower cheese please," said Mary.
"Certainly, madam," he replied.
"And can I have breakfast in bed?" asked Mary politely.
The receptionist nodded and smiled.
"In that case, I would love a couple of poached eggs, please," Mary mused.
After confirming the order, Mary signed in and went up to her room for the night.
The night passed uneventfully and the next morning Mary came down early to check out. The same guy was still on the Desk.
"Morning madam...sleep well?"
"Yes, thank you," Mary replied.
"Food to your liking?"
"Well, I have to say the cauliflower cheese was exceptional, I don't think I have had better. Shame about the eggs, though....they really weren't that nice at all," replied Mary truthfully.
"Oh...well, perhaps you could contribute these thoughts to our Guest Comments Book. We are always looking to improve our service and would value your opinion," said the Receptionist.
"OK, I will...thanks!" replied Mary....who checked out, then scribbled a commen
