Add to the Comment Room | Last week's Comment Room | TGS WebSite | Text-only Comment Room

I'm back y'all. Nothing much is happening in the state of Vermont. I feel bored and wish I was out with my friends. But I have to clean out my room of everything so the construction workers can work on my house. I never realized how much stuff I had! And I didn't realize how much money......

Skimming through this comment room I see that most of you have a great life. I feel oh so horribly BORED! Specially since half my friends moved away and my redneck pals decided to disappear on me. It's just me and the remaining friends.

So here I am. Nothing really happened. Just cleaned my room. Nothing happened last week either. Nor the week before that.....::sigh::.... that's it. I'm going to take my car and drive somewhere. Take a friend and leave. Maybe I'll go see my relatives in New York or Georgia.....maybe go to Texas or California. See my friends in Washington state. visit Newfoundland, Quebec, Ontario and Newbrunswick. Take a trip through Mexico. Heck I'll just visit all of them. As soon as I gain up the courage to get gas from the gas depot.

As for my top ten I'm going to hold those back now as I write more for my fan-fics, and my work here. But they'll be back if I think up some good ones! In the meantime to hold you over I will be making smart ass comments that will make you wish I was dead! Just Kidding!

New England-- Is there ANYONE living in the vermont state or at least in the New England region that responds to this comment room? I feel like I'm all alone.

Dang it I'm coughing again. I had a cold for the past week and it won't leave. Anyway Bye!

**enters the room, switching out the candles. Shuffles over to the lawn chair, sitting down**

Blue Caeru: Nice to see ya ... come on back on a regular basis if ye can.

Warpmind: You don't necessarily have to come to the Gathering to submit to the Filkbook ... they take submissions from everybody. I submitted one by e-mail last year ... unfortunately it didn't make it (it was the third revision of "Gargoyles in the Rear View Mirror," for any and all interested.).

Jewel: Grad school? Good luck, friend. :)
As for liking "La Vida Loca," don't sweat it. I get embarrassed by my mother ... I swear she's going through her second adolescence, she's into all of the teeny bopper acts that've come out lately (Backstreet Boys, N*Sync, Ricky Martin ... only one she doesn't like is Britney Spears).

Birthdays: Spacebabie ... while you're searching for one for Warpmind's B-day, could ye find one for mine (September 27, 1975 ... only celeb I know who shares the say at least is about thirty years separated: Meat Loaf)? Oh, and that makes me a Rabbit.

Doug: Thanks. I really appreciate the good wishes.

**sigh** Slow room tonight ... **fixates once more**

**Robby enters humming the Joxer the Mighty theme... "Joxer the mighty, roams through the countryside he nver needs a place to hide..."**

Sorry, been on a Xena kick the last few hours... Evil idea- Brooklyn in one of his Timedances goes to whatever time period Xena is in, gets goofy armor and starts going around as "Brooklyn the mighty"...

Dumlao... COme out come out wherever you are...

Pokemon- Gonna get a 7 episode marathon tommarow... Hee hee... Shame its gonna be broken up by that lousy "Detention" show...

David Duchovny song- Wierd... Definitley, definatley wierd. (Now, is that a Runt impression, or a Sewer Urchin impression?)

Birth year- I'm the year of the... Oh geez, I always forget this. 1982... I want to say Dog...

Happy Birthday SHogun Raptor!

Video Game endings- What are those? Seriously, the last GREAT ending I can recall goes to Nights... Had multiple endings depending on how well you did and if you won with both characters. And it looked great each time and threw in new music if you got it all...

Starship Troopers- With all the reruns, I'm losing interest...

**LONG RP HERE: THE CYBER SMURF SAGA**

The cyber-smurf's brief look of nervousness fades after Strom-Ra finishes his transformation.
"Hmm. Not much of an upgrade at all. No need to call in the gate cult after all." The small rodent powers up a fireball in his hand, and blasts Strom-Ra into nothingness. "See you later... In the Next Dimension!"
SJ does not look amused. "I don't know what's worse... That he's royally roasting us, or that he's using lousy Saban dialouge! This guy has to be stopped!"
Kari grimaces and begins to focus her power. Black Tiger notices this and prepares to attack. But before anything can be done, the smurf turns and blasts Kari. She vanishes before she can even flinch.
"I'll also see YOU in the next dimension. Heh heh."
SJ screams. "NOOOO!"
"What, you didn't like that? All right." The smurf snaps his fingers and Kari falls to the floor with a thud.
"What the?"
"Like I said, I sent her to the next dimension. Its where I sent that red character as well. It incompacitates you for as long as I like, and if I bring you back, you can't do much for a while. Neat trick huh?"
"Trick?" Black Tiger gapes.
Sevarius Junior is by Kari's side. "You creep..."
It is then that Black Tiger attacks with a flurry of punches at the small smurf. He is easily knocked back and wounded.
"All right. I've come to a decision. It is clear you fools are not fighting your best against such a small enemy. So for your benefit I'll upgrade to a bigger more powerful form. Of course, once I do, all teleportation attacks are off and everything I do WILL kill you. Feel free to leave now if you must..."
The cyber-smurf chuckles as he transforms before everyone's eyes into a creature a full six feet tall, and threatening. In a much more booming voice he looks to his opponent. "Now, lets begin, shall we?"

Kyryn> If you can hear me. Send me an email. It's urgent.

Starship Troopers> Finally seen enough of them to make an opinion. Overall, I'm not impressed. I remember that the book was originally published in the 1980's. If it came out then or in the early 90's it might have been interesting. But after Exosquad, Wing Commander, & Space: Above and Beyond; the whole 'war is hell and the officiers are jerks' has been done and in Exosquad's case done better.

Showing it out of order, if there is one is a terrible move. Without continuity I feel no connection with any of the characters. Rico seems more like a whiner than a green rookie on his first tour. It also prevents answering questions that would help my disbelief. Questions like how do these insects get from planet to planet. Everything about them suggests they don't use machines. So how do you leave one planet and get to another one. What do they eat? Planets like Pluto and these moons they're on have no life matter other than the soliders. What is feeding them? Common sense questions like that crop up in my mind when there is little story to help.

The CGI is passable. Especially in animation, the dragon is in the details. Anime is more sophisticated than a Yogi bear cartoon in part to the level of detail, in the story and in the visuals. Same holds with computer animation. I like War Planet because of the level of detail in the characters, the background, even having personal music themes like in Gargoyles and Batman. By the same token I usually pass on Voltron, because the detail is not there. The characters look plastic, the background and long shots are great, but it doesn't compensate for the first. In Troopers, there isn't that much detail because the locals are all dark and the characters all wear the same uniforms. That realism is to their credit, but it's also to their detrement. It took me four episode, two of them repeats to figure out who is who. I prefer that recognition to be up front.

Well, I've rattled on long enough. Sorry to talk your ear off.

Well, no time for a second RP today, so just a few quick notes:

Teflon Bullets - Supposedly, teflon-coated bullets would reduce friction between a bullet and a kevlar vest, allowing the bullet to penetrate the armor. In reality, the vast majority of "Bullet-proof" vests only work on pistol rounds up to .44 magnum, and most rifles will rip right through kevlar without even slowing down. The teflon bullet craze probably started because some idiot thought it sounded cool. Personaly, I'll stick with APEX, HEAT, and APDSFSDU. (Whoever can tell me what these acronyms stand for gets the Gunjack Award of the week)

David G.><<Out of the blue. One of my co-workers asked me today if I would be interested in writing a video game. He and a friend are going to do the code, and I'm going to do the pretty words and pictures.>> I've planning on doing the same thing someday, after I get out of college and find somebody to write code... Out of curiosity, what kind of game?

Jaden & Xanathar - A thousand pardons, gentlepersons. I was in the process of being kicked off the computer when I wrote it, and I must have gotten the posts confused...

Green Baron - I don't really know. the violence withdrawel started after spending an entire week working very hard with no entertainment. No TV, no boardgames, no books, no computer, not even time to sit down and doodle. The malaise started when it occured to me that I wasn't going to get any of the above commodities in the near future, as well as the fact that I'm seperated from my girlfriend by several hundred miles. As for the headaches... Who knows? Maybe I picked up some wierd bug over the summer...
Anyway, the storm has abbatted for now, so no need to worry.

Firestorm><<Well, something DID happen. Some guy walked into the hospital where my dad works carrying a shotgun. No shots were fired, but my dad saw him walking in the door.>> O_o...uh, ooookay... I don't know about you, but that would freak me out pretty bad... What'd your dad do?

Jewell - Good luck with grad school! :)

Warpmind><<By the way, I'm a goat>> I'm a dog, and a good friend of mine is a pig. Who comes up with these things, anyway? Whoever it was, they had an evil sense of humor...

In parting, who is the Villian in charge, and how would an RP character get in touch with him/her/it?

**RP HERE**

The four Nazis charge Shap and Shauna, swagger sticks waving. "Get those niggas!" Norman commands his three subordinates. Shap and Shauna immediately slash out with their knives, ripping open the eyes of Andrew and Ian. "OW!" they both scream and fall over, blinded and bleeding to death. "Zarah, get the girl!" Norman growls. "I'll take the other one." The female Nazi nods and leaps at Shauna, who tries to slash her but misses. Soon the Nazi has knocked her back into the closet and they are in a huge catfight. Shap ignores this, faced with Norman, who is now laughing at him. "Recognize this?" the head WCOC Nazi chuckles, holding up a familiar scabbarded longsword. "When you were brought in, I took it off your body. Fitting, isn't it, that I use your own weapon to send you to hell?" Shap only smiles. "Go right ahead." He then kneels and bows his head. Norman frowns for a moment, then chuckles. "Okay, stupid darkie. If that's the way you want it." He then puts his hand on the sword hilt, pulls, and screams. "Aargh!" Shap laughs. "Don't you know evil people aren't even supposed to try pulling a holy avenger out of its sheath?" Norman shakes and falls over, killed by the shock of not being able to draw the paladin's sword. Shap gets up and takes it from his cold hands and then pulls out the blade, whispering a quick thanks to God for getting it back to him. Shauna has meanwhile used a gymnastic tumble to throw Zarah out of the closet and across the room. The girl pulls back a familiar bowstring and shoots the female Nazi with an arrow through the brain as she is getting back up. "Where'd you get that?" Shap asks, glad his girlfriend has her weapon back. "They put it in the closet," Shauna replies. "I just didn't see it at first because it was behind the door. Look out!" Shap immediately turns to face another bunch of WCOC charging him and uses his sword to cut them down. Shauna keeps the rest back with arrows. On the other side of the auditorium, the other half of the evil church's members continues to battle the Green Baron and Atilla the Hun.

**END RP FIRST HALF**

Greetings to everyone. Hope you've been having a good weekend. I have, except for the fact that I haven't been getting much feedback. :( Just one letter about the latest story so far, just as there was only one about the story before that. I'm thrilled people have given both stories five stars, but it just doesn't feel worth it to write them if those people won't tell me why. So, because of this, I'm still on break. Not sure when I'll pick the saga up again, hope it starts feeling worthwhile and interesting again soon.

**BEGIN SPOILERS AND REVIEW FOR THE FILM STIGMATA**

Kit and I saw the movie Stigmata last night. It was a very good film. I could see why the Catholic Church was against it (and why our newspaper critic, who I'm pretty sure is Catholic, gave it a really bad review), but that didn't spoil the movie at all. It had a decent plot, great preformances by the three principal actors (Gabriel Byrne did an especially good job), and was much scarier than either Blair Witch or Sixth Sense. This was due to its visuals mostly, the film definitely should get a cinematography award. It also had a message about God we could agree with, and that's a wonderful thing. Also had a nice soundtrack. The only really bad bit about it was the script, which needed some work (they never told us what happened to Andrew and Frankie when it was all over and there were a few plot holes as well). Despite this, we recommend the film. 7.9/10, thumbs up.

**STIGMATA SPOILERS END**

Deuce: Glad you and your friend have patched things up. Good luck with your new semester (same to all who are starting one). Thanks for the X-Files info. And once again, welcome back!

Mara: Welcome! And I look forward to reading your upcoming fic.

Heather: Congrats on your new job.

Coyote: I too think you would make a great teacher. These people at your local music school obviously know zip. Maybe you should try going to another school for the degree where the people are more understanding and supportive of their students. Of course, a place like that might be a little out of your price range. And you've said you no longer want to do it, so... <sighs> Oh well, whatever happens, I wish you luck. :)

SJ: Kit and I agree with you about Vamp Hunter D, we thought it was a pretty good movie. The character development was our favorite thing about it, especially on the females. As for Get Real, we didn't watch it because the previews made it look like awful. Were they right?

Videogame Endings: Kitainia's right, the lack of good endings to games these days is an unfortunate trend. The only recent games I can think of with great endings are Lunar Silver Star, Metal Gear Solid, and another RPG called Persona. The original two Lunar games also had good endings of course, as did Duke Nukem 3d (IMO), Xenogears, Warcraft 2 (especially the orc ending), and a few other games. But they're declining in number these days. <sighs> David G, I congratulate you on having the chance to write a videogame. Hope you'll give it a good ending as well as beginning and storyline. I think I agree with most gamers that if a game's gonna be great there has to be something worth seeing after the final boss. :)

Xanathar: System Shock 2. Hmm. Sounds like I should check that game out. Thanks for the recommendation.

Green Baron: $ Strom-Ra the Ever-Living? Hahahahahahhahahaha!!! Thanks for the great laugh. $

Jewel: Congrats on getting into graduate school, good luck succeeding in it.

Don't have Final Fantasy 8 yet, I'm waiting for the rush to die out before I buy so I can be sure there'll be a game available (and the price will be a little lower too). I will get it though. Probably not going to get a Dreamcast any time soon, I'm also waiting for the price to drop on it (and for them to come out with some games that I will enjoy playing, whether Final Fight style, strategy, or RPG.

Spacebabie: You're Year of the Dragon? Cool! Kit and I are both Sheep (in year, not personality. :) 1979.

Mary: Glad things are continuing to go well between Bahemut and yourself.

Happy birthday Shogun Raptor!

And that's all for now. Hope this goes through (s8 was down earlier). Later!

**RETURNING TO THE RP**

Elena screams "Die!" at Agent Tau and empties an entire clip of her assault rifle at him. Due to his extremely good moving ability, she hits nothing but air. "Whoa, Elena!" Kit stops the Hispanic girl from firing again. "He's in Agent Ripowski's body! Do you want to kill our friend?" "That's right!" Tau chuckles. "You can't hurt me, and even if you could, you'd just be killing your friend Agent Ripowski! I am invincible, Ravens! You best surrender to me, if you want to remain alive!" "Forget it, Tau!" Doug snaps. "We don't know the meaning of the word surrender! Uh, I mean, we know what it means, we're not dumb. But in this context- oh, never mind." Tau points his pistol at them. "You have one chance to come with me before I shoot you all." "Shut up!" Jaden screams, leaping at Tau with axe extended. The agent's fist shoots out and knocks the werewolf back into a wall. Jaden grimaces as he stands up with bleeding head. "You..." "Doug," Keith stammers as he looks at Tau. "We have to surrender. That guy is blocking the only way out of the room." "We can't do that, man!" Tom protests. "I didn't come here to leave you all behind!" "But how can we beat him?" Jammer asks. "He's taken over Janice's body and he's too fast for our bullets or Jaden's leaps!" "And," Kitainia grimaces, "we don't even know where to find the soul crystal we have to smash in order to permanently get rid of this jerk." "That's right!" Tau laughs. "You can not beat me! So surrender! Surrender or die!" "Wait, Tau," Lathrop interjects suddenly, pointing his staff at the villain. "I know something you aren't faster than. Lightning Bolt!"

ROBBY (Re: Spam song) - ROBBIE!!! Sheesh, you just found one of the all time classics of "Monty Python's Flying Circus"... It's from a skit where a couple enters a diner/greasy spoon, and the cook/waitress is listing off the meals they can have, and nearly all of them has at least one mention of Spam in them. All the while, in the background, a horde of Vikings is seated at a long table, chowing down. At one point, they start up this song...

Don't ask me why... Knowing the MP troop, I just watch and laugh where appropriate. :)

Hi, all. Quick post comin' up.

Spacebabie: Who in the name of lutefisk is Meioh Setsuna? All I know is that my birthday is shared with Winona Ryder (Woohoo), though the year differs. By the way, I see you're turning 23 this year. Well, I'm turning a hund...twenty, so if you can find a celeb for October 29th '79, hmmm? By the way, I'm a goat. And no jokes ,please. I'm talking about the Chinese calendar. Earth Goat, is it not?

Gods, I'm babbling again.

As for the Anime debate... I've seen... one anime film, I believe... something abotu a guy killing some chicks brother, then going three centuries back to arrive on Earth, our time, then the polar caps melted, and soem nuclear power plants detonated... it's been a while since I saw it. Hey, we don't get much Japanese animation to Norway, gimme a break. (Actually, I have a friend who bought eight Anime movies on VHS... only to discover he got the NSTC edition... Norway runs on PAL, poor sot.)

Oooo, hey, I finally got to see Rain Man. Quite an event of amusement. Dustin Hoffman must have been studying a LOT for that role. Funny thing is, before I saw that film, I never even considered that there are 1209600 seconds in two weeks... ouch.

Well, gotta go.

David G: Dude, good luck on writing that video game! Cool!

MTV awards: I *knew* there was a reason I stopped watching award shows... and stopped listening to the radio.

Guilty secret: ...but I have to confess, I actually kinda like "La Vida Loca"... <covers face in shame>

GB: heh. It is a good thing I wasn't armed. Being awoken at 8 am and then waking to see construction workers peering in on me in my bed did not a happy Jewel make.

Guess what? I've decided to go to grad school. I'm going
to apply to UVA. Applications are due January 1st, and by then, I should have my Virginia residency, making it easier for me to get in. I've decided to do an English major, although I'm torn between an MA (Master of Arts) or an MFA (Master of Fine Arts). The MFA would basically be a creative writing masters, and to even be considered, I'd have to submit 2 pieces of fiction. I don't know if January 1st is time enough for me to have two good things written--I can't use my fanfic, since that would take waaaay to much to explain the characters and the background. Arg. I've got a bunch of things I could work on, but I don't know if I could have them done by then. (If I do it, however, I can tell everyone right now, "Apokalypsis" gets shelved until January.) But I'm really torn. I'd love to do the MFA, but I don't know if I'm good enough--I took a playwriting class last semester, and only managed a 2.0 (for many reasons). That makes me nervous, so I'm afraid to even try. I'm also paranoid about maybe not even being *accepted*, since my grades at Bryn Mawr stank to high heaven, thanks to me having no direction. I have direction now, and I know that makes all the difference--I finally know what I want to do with my life: get my PhD and become a professor. My passionate loathing of the real world was that high that I want to return to academia. ANyway, to make a long story short, I know what I want to do, but I'm scared silly about not getting in to the school or program I want. And can any of y'all know of some good graduate schools? I have no idea of anything beyond UVA, and back-ups are good things.

Anime/Manga section:
Princess Mononoke: I am *so* there when it comes out. it's the the only movie I've had any desire to see as of late.

Pokemon: Any of you out there read "Pulp" magazine? It's subtitle is "Manga for grown-ups" and is put out every month by the same people as do Animerica...only, like it says, it's for grown-ups. It has Sho Fumimura's [Buronson] (he wrote "Sanctuary" and "Fist of the North Star") and Ryoichi Ikemami's (he illustrated "Sanctuary," "Mai, the Psychic Girl," and "Crying Freeman") latest collaboration, "Strain." Anyway, my point. There's an editorial in there, and the last three issues, the guy has been talking about the "Pokemon" phenomenom. You Pokemon fans out there might want to read it.

Sanctuary: David G, keep reading. There are some *major* twist coming up, and Asami is about to become the focus...and man, does *he* ever get *really* cool. The anime only covers the first 2 books, and the live-action covers the first three...and then ends with "To be continued." Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhhh.

x/1999: THe anime was amazing. The opening sequence blew me away. I put it up there with the opening in "Ghost in the Shell," it was that well done.

Glad to see so much positive response to Timedancer: The Filk.

Coyote the Bando: I'd love to put it in the G2000 Filkbook, but, alas, I fear I may not attend. Tickets from Norway to USA are kinda steep, and swimming all the way does frankly not appeal to me. However, if I were to find a sponsor... nothing is settled yet, I'll see what kind of funds I'll have for those days. *Starting to plot in dates on the calendar, planning working hours and checking ticket prices.* I dunno if I can do it, but I'll try. God in Heaven, I'll try. (Sorry if I offended anyone with a religiously inclined sentence.)

Hi all!!

Hmmm lets see how this pic looks...

Blue Caeru:Welcome back,hope your able to post again soon.

While I was holding him, the possum had his tail wrapped around my arm and I couldn't help but think of all the times I described the same behavior in baby gargoyles. *L* Weird, huh?>>AWWWW! he must've looked really cute:)

**Tuxedo Bob Dole reads the note and smiles.
"Well, I guess I should call up one of my old buddies form the Senate. He should be able to handle the smurf. He clicks on his wrsitwatch, and three seconds later, Strom Thurmond walks into the battle, and the smurf laughs until h efalls down. Strom just looks to the ceiling and chants.
"Ancient spirits of the Carolinas, turn this venerable statesman into Strom-Ra the Everliving!"

The winds swirl around Strom as he tarsfroms into Strom-Ra. The smurf begins to look nervous and he decides to call some other reinforcements, namely the Gate cult.**

WHEE! That was fun ... thanks for the ride, Mara. Now I just gotta get the GFW to work for me so I can read the MSTing ...

Deuce, Mandi: My ex-girlfriend's brother would certainly agree to that ... he was my one student.

Kaioto: I forgot to mention this yesterday ... but after leaving college I *did* have two students ... but they chose not to continue, and then I got my job at the store, and I couldn't have a regular time to teach any longer ...

Cherryblossom: As I'm sure you saw the e-mail, it's no biggie, an easy mistake to make. You're forgiven. **hugs**

SJ: I wish I had your resolve ...

Warpmind: Whaddya mean, "ghastly bad??" Put that puppy in the Gathering filkbook next year!

Deuce again, re: Canadian TV: Depends on what you're lookin' for. I myself will take "Hockey Night in Canada" every time over ESPN National Hockey Night, mainly because I can't stand the sound of the ESPN announcer's voice.

Spike: Awww, that's so cuuuute!! **sigh** Too bad the only 'possums I tend to see around here are lumps on the St. John's Abbatoir ... errh, I mean Marsh. :)

Zodiac signs: I've said it once, I'll say it again ... the Libras are gonna rule the world eventually, folks. :)

Robby, re: Garg outback: Figuring by the outbacks that actually showed up in The Maxx (main ones being Maxx's personal outback and the ones he met Gen13 and the Dragon in), they're usually governed by the surroundings of the outback's owner. (Gen13, it was a comatose little girl. Dragon, it was Dragon's own dreamscape, which would explain the giant Rapture with the hordes of baby Dragons and Raptures running out from between her legs ... oops, maybe I shoulda put a warning before that. :)
So let's see ... right now I can only think of Lex's outback ... it'd probably be a techno-Phillip K. Dick nightmare, with castles and knights dispersed within the data streams and such.

Oh no, only 19 posts since yesterday! TGS is dying! (Heh, seriously though, I think out record is no posts in 14 hours that one time Dumlao had a serious rant. I recall posting "Gee Dumlao, I think you scared everyone off." Those were the days...)

MTV music awards- Actually, I never watch MTV for anything except th ecartoons, and even those aren't any good anymore... (I miss The Maxx... "To these people it seems strange, for rather than chasing an Iz who is a servent to the insidious Mr. Gone, it looks to them as if I'm chasing a 98 year old grandmother.... Or maybe its because I just said that all out loud..." AH, that was a great time... (Can you just imagine one of the gargs doing that? Hmm, I wonder what a garg's Outback would be like, considering their dream states...

Wilek- Thanks for the Zelda 64 summary when you send it.

Warpmind- Cool filk, especially considering you did it in your sleep! Couple of bits that could use some work, but cool nonetheless... In fact, I'll even include a link to "Goldfinger"... Its a Geocities addy so I can't make it a name link, but this addy should give it to you.

http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Location/9256/Midis/007goldfing.mid

Exin- This is indeed a wierd place.

9-9-99... Hmm. I seem to have survived just fine.

Spike- Possums eh? Hmm, we get those at our house every year. THey live right under our porch usually... (I have to wonder if its the same family returning every year?)

**Suden visions of "A Goofy Movie" and Lester's Possum Park come to mind...** Eee...

Aaron- SOunds like a cool movie preview. Why'd you have to get our hopes up tho?

Spacebabie- Actually, there's a secret conspiracy of Leos ruling the world. This has come up before and even played into the RP...

**RP HERE: THE CYBER SMURF SAGA**

The evil creature chuckles. "THe entire dozen of you have so far managed to TOUCH my tail..." He smiles as his tail grows back.
"Oh geez, he can regenerate too? THis is NOT good..."
The Dark Rangers sneer. "You fools are too nice. We would have killed this thing already. Watch this..." The dark Red Ranger sneers and leaps at the cyber-smurf, weapon drawn.
The smurf looks away, casually raises his right arm into the air, and sends a one handed fireball at the dark red ranger. He is disintegrated before he can even scream.
Looks of shock fill the room.
"Ohhhh spit..."
"Are you fools going to fight or are you just going to die?"

Elsewhere, Jim's clone has finally gotten the hang of walking, when he finds out where everyone went. "Battle huh? I guess I should join it..." And so he begins to RUN towards the battle. Not get in a transport and fly there, but RUNS...

The WTH moment of last night was when Regis appeard on MTV last night. My brother yelled out"What the Hell?"

At least there were some Talent last night...Madonna,David Bowie,Janet Jackson,TLC, and a surprise performance from Run DMC and Aerosmith...Oh man does that bring back memories..

As much as I hate Slim Shady himself at least Emenem got it right 2001.

There's another Scorp in the room! Me too We rule the world Nov 3.

I had another TGS dream last night. I was kidnapped along with Nudnik by the pack and Hyena was getting pissed off because she was being pissed on. I cant remember how we were rescued but I do remember that little Nudi was giving me the sloppiest kisses. The dream ended due to the punding on the roof....The Hose face lift project and you though Jackhammers were bad.

Saw a really cruel preview at the movies the other day. Has anyone else seen this preview? It goes something like this.

Intro night. Full moon with a few clouds blowing across it. I'm not really paying attention.

Narrator: "The October moon is called the Hunter's moon." *Now* I'm paying attention.

Narrator: "This October the Hunters will be busy." I'm like oh please oh please oh please. If I hear Carl Johnson music in the next ten seconds, I will be the happiest person on earth. Sadly this is not to be. It's a preview for something called Bats. Fairly lame looking.

My 9/9/99 day was a little unusual. My boys and I caught a little possum in the front flowerbed. Poor little thing, it played dead in the cat carrier until we gave it some water and fed it bananas and hotdogs. This morning, we took it to my son's school where it was shown around the 2nd grade classrooms. Here's a serendipitious note: They were preparing to study a unit on nocturnal animals, which includes possums. While I was holding him, the possum had his tail wrapped around my arm and I couldn't help but think of all the times I described the same behavior in baby gargoyles. *L* Weird, huh?

We let the possum go later at the neighborhood pond, which is probably pretty close to where he came from in the first place. It's fed from a creek that runs all along the houses. All in all, an interesting experience!

But over all, in my personal world- things were okay--

Got two garg things I have been wanting for a long time-- one is a Goliath talking Bank-- (with Keith David's voice ) Woohooo!!! And a tiger hand held gargoyles game-- cool!!! I got them off Ebay!! I love the Goliath--

Starship Troopers: Another reason it sucks to get Canadian TV: no decent American channels. I'm petitioning Space and Comedy Network to show MST3K, but it isn't working. :-/

"Size vs. proportion": I've been saying that forever.

Wilek re: teflon bullets> ["Wouldn't that just stop stuff from sticking to the bullet...?"] No, it actually penetrates more bulletproof "armour", believe it or not. Green bullets look rather strange, though....

Mandolin:Ricky Martin looked stoned.>>*gets Mental image of Nine Inch Nails fans throwing rocks at Ricky Martin*>:)

Mandolin again:I know how you feel,Their tearing up the road in front of my workplace,everyday it's Jackhammers.:(

Wilek:Word is, Microsoft is working on a video game console. Yup. Normally, I don't mind them, but this news scares me somehow. They're officially denying it, presumably so as not to disrupt their deal with Sega (the DC runs on the MS Windows CE operating system), but there is a *lot* of evidence to show that they're doing this. <shudder> >>I've heard about this,It is indeed a scary thought.

Hi, everyone.

Gone a day 'cause my knee was hurting, and bad. But it's okay now.

Main event of the day: I just can't let you guys hang there, just waiting for the Timedancer filk to wind up in Avalon Mists... I'll submit it here, now, if there be no objections? (Like anyone can prevent me anyhew.)

**WARNING! NOTORIOUSLY BAD FILK COMING UP!**
*Warpmind digs into his pocket and pulls up a small black box with a crystal attached to it.*
"This is the Holographic Music Video Recorder. With optional lyric modification."
*Music begins to play in the background, it's the old Goldfinger theme, and the voice of Shirley Basset starts to float into reality, as does her image. In the background, Brooklyn is flashing in and out of reality in great balls of fire.*

Timedancer.
He's the garg, the garg with the Phoenix Gate.
A magical thing.
He's the Timedancer.
He moves through time and he has no control.
He dances on.

Handsome and red with horns and a beak,
Trapped in time and unable to speak,
Of the future he knows when he's been there,
And he dances again...

Mister Timedancer.
On a joyride through time with no control.
Time takes its toll.

Handsome and red with horns and a beak,
Trapped in time and unable to speak,
Of the future he knows when he's been there,
And he dances again...

Mister Timedancer.
On a joyride through time with no control.
Time takes its toll.

He's dancing through time,
With the Gate.
Phoenix Gate.
With the Phoenix Gate,
Straight through time.
Timedancer.

*The music and Shirley Basset slowly fade out of sight, as well as Brooklyn-the-Timedancer. Warpmind steps out of sight and returns the hologram to his pocket.*
"Told you it was pretty bad, folks."
**GHASTLY, BAD FILK OVER NOW, FOLKS. YOU CAN COME OUT OF HIDING NOW!"

Anyway, Sarge, when it comes to the test of wit... I must confess, many of the jokes I come up with in daily conversation are simply stolen from movies and TV shows. But frankly, I believe I have more guts than you do. (I didn't have my appendix removed.)

In any case, here's a line I'll bet Puck has ALWAYS wanted to convince Owen to say:

"I'm terribly sorry, but I just spotted mr. Xanatos and Fox sneak into the bedchamber. But if you could call back in thirty seconds, I'm sure he's available."

Well, now that nosy teacher is back, so I'll have to call it a day.

Later, everyone.

Bored tonight. Might as well annoy you guys some more.

Mandolin: It's a pretty commonly known fact in Hollywood that Will Smith is the very definition of WHIPPED. He doesn't wear the pants in that marriage...which is the reason why you always see them together--he can't get away from her! I hate to sound sexist like that, but goshdern it, a guy's got to have some of his own space now and again. If he was kissing her ass, it's standard procedure. I feel sorry for the guy.

Starship Troopers: I suggest you try to find it on a local syndicated station. Sci-Fi has "screwed the pooch", if you will, with their airings of the show. I had to switch to a local UPN channel where the show is syndicated; they at least get the continuity somewhat straight. If the show's not syndicated in your area....unfortunately, I suppose you'll have to suffer through Sci-Fi's mis-airings. I have a guide to the first couple of arcs, if anybody wants it. Just drop me an email.

Many students LOVE those classes, and in some schools (Dearborn High, for example) art teachers and art students alike have to pay out of thier own pocket for class suplies. But the sports teams get FREE uniforms.>> Ugh. A friend of mine went to a school that was a perfect example of this. For some reason, every school I have ever heard of has appreciated sports far more than any achievement that is worth pursuing. The kid who was smart in music, science, art, and math got psychologically (and often physically) tormented, while the mindless jocks (many of whom were responsible for the torment) were worshipped by student body and faculty alike. I have no idea why sports are so popular. If I want to see ppl beating each other up, I'll watch Jerry Springer, which at least has a sense of humor (if a fairly twisted and revolting one). <<Work: The people are jerking us around. They are REALLY pushing LM to finish two pictures for them. (Repairing and touching up two HORRIBLY done and HORRIBLY mangled pictures.) They will probally want them for free because they "will use me for all there future computer needs." Oh yeah? Prove it. Buy that server that you need if you are going to use me for that stuff. I hate to be pushy, but they have been stalling for 2 months on this, and now it's time to put up or I get out.>> <sigh> So many of us seem to have bad luck with this kind of thing--getting shafted in jobs, education, and the like. Sometimes I wonder if the beautiful chaos of our insanity doesn't come at a price, or perhaps we're under a curse. <<Starship Troopers: Oh, I HAVE to get that title song MP3ed!>> It is kinda neat. It rather struck me as a somewhat odd (but rather kewl) remix of some classical song. Of course, I'm weird anyhow... Smurf> I remember that. I love that comic. ^_^ (I wonder what it says about me that I've read every single issue of it...)

Gaming fans, be afraid> Word is, Microsoft is working on a video game console. Yup. Normally, I don't mind them, but this news scares me somehow. They're officially denying it, presumably so as not to disrupt their deal with Sega (the DC runs on the MS Windows CE operating system), but there is a *lot* of evidence to show that they're doing this. <shudder>

Oh, and happy ninesday, everyone! ^_^

Weird bit> I saw a most interesting commercial on Cartoon Network a while back. Something about four kids and their Great Dane disappearing in the woods near Burkettsville, Maryland or something to that effect. Heh heh heh heh heh...

Bondage Fairies> I can just see it: "When you lose a tooth, put it under your pillow, the Bondage Fairy may leave you a whip or a nice set of handcuffs..."

Deuce> <<DREAMCAST!!!!>> <Jerry Lewis voice> FEINDOTENLEIVENSHCOIYLE!!! :P <<You remember that?! Betcha didn't know that Alanis Morissette had a recurring role on it.>> Actually, the first time I ever heard of her, other than when I saw her on the show (and had no idea exactly who she was) was on some kind of entertainment news show thingie that told about that. :)

Mandolin> Jackhammers> ACK. Having fairly sensitive hearing, I can just imagine what you're going through. Poor thing. How would you like them killed? >:) <<Dad isn't home, but I'm really tempted to unleash an angry father with expertise on hearing loss on the administrator who decided this one.>> Do it, if at all possible. These idiots deserve all the misery you can level at them.

Gunjack> <<How about when someone needs a "teflon-coated sniper round" in a high-powered rifle to kill someone through a kevlar vest?>> O_o Wouldn't that just stop stuff from sticking to the bullet...? <<Dude, I've said it before, and I'll say it again: You are one screwed-up dude. Be sure to stay that way...:) >> <bows> Why thank you. >:) <<Oh, and what would be #666?>> Me. 8P j/k Actually, probably the adult xenomorph would be #666, and the Queen would be #667.

David G> <<He has all the tapes up until the climax of the big martial figureskating match.>> Martial...figure skating...? <blink> Well, Sailor Moon did it... <<One of my co-workers asked me today if I would be interested in writing a video game.>> :O Dude...I have always wanted to create a video game. That would be just so kewl...I even wrote up an idea for a Castlevania game once. But it'll never happen. :/

SJ> <<I shall say this now, and get it over with: ROCK IS DEAD.>> Hm...maybe now classical gothic will finally get the attention it deserves...? ^_^

Robby> <<Considering I don't have an N64, and am not likely ever to, anm so even less likely to ever play Zelda 64 for more than a few minutes, you care to let me in on the ending?>> Sure thing (and I'll give you much of the rest of the storyline as well, since it's so kewl). ^_^ I'll mail it to you, since I'd rather not spoil the various surprises in here. :)

**RESUME RP!**

[The cybersmurf has failed to notice the Dark Rangers entering the ring, so he is most surprised when he hears the Jade Ranger's war cry from behind him... "MOKATSUKU BANZAIII!" He turns to see what on earth has dared attack him, and leaps out of the way just a split second before the Dark Ranger could drop kick him across the room. Smurf: "What the--?!" Brown Ranger: "You're our opponent? <laughs> Ye can't be serious, lad." Smurf: "It doesn't matter how many of you come here or how much larger you are than I am. I will still defeat you all and rule your world." Jade Ranger: "Baka henshu! SHI NE!" With that, the battle is joined...]

Quickie before I crash for the evening.

The construction situation> They cut it out around 3 pm, thank goodness, but I talked to one of the guys working there and he said they'd be back to finish it up around 7 am. 7 AM. And Friday is the morning I usually get to sleep in a bit... At least I got earplugs. Dad isn't home, but I'm really tempted to unleash an angry father with expertise on hearing loss on the administrator who decided this one.

The MTV video awards. Ahh, yes. I missed the first half hour, and watched the rest. I can safely say that I don't listen to most of the artists who were nominated or won. Ricky Martin looked stoned. The Fatboy Slim video shouldn't have won for dance, but I was just laughing my head off at their performance. I still like the song, but the dancers... *snerk* And when Will Smith won - you KNOW he was in deep sh*t with his wife over something the way he kissed her ass in his acceptance speech. Chris Rock... well, he did NOT have a lot to work with, and he was right on the money a couple times (calling Fatboy Slim "White-boy retarded", and regarding Regis - "What the hell is he doing here?") The high point: While I was watching it, Britney Spears didn't win a thing. :)

Okay, I'm really tired, so that must be all. Tomorrow's Friday... and while it's still before midnight, happy 9/9/99 to you all...

Happy 9/9/99 folks!

Well, I finally got the Sonic anime today, and was quite dissapointed in ADV films, as they did NOT release a subbed version of the thing! I've heard the original voices, they were great despite eing Japanese! The voices they got for the dub... Well, I can honestly say I never pictured Sonic with a British accent before, and I've never been more annoyed by Tails in my life... **Sigh** I had been SO looking forward to this video too. At least the music, animation, and fight with Mecha Sonic, however brief, was good...

And since we had a storm here earlier that threatened to kill all the power or start a power surge, I had to stay off the computer. So I watched "Enemy Mine" on the sci-fi channel. Pretty good flick considering its 15 years old, though the last half hour was typical action/adventure garbage. AH well...

Starship Troopers- Well, the series itself is good, but their airings have a few problems. FOr one, they're only showing 5 episodes over and over, and for another, they're showing them out of order! They still haven't shown the conclusion of the Pluto arc!

Wilek- Considering I don't have an N64, and am not likely ever to, anm so even less likely to ever play Zelda 64 for more than a few minutes, you care to let me in on the ending?

Mara- Eh, I don't really care for Xellos... But then, I haven't seen all 8 tapes of Slayers NEXT yet so I don't know what his deal is...

And Coyote's right, size isn't the only factor, proportion is. I like Lina myself.

But please, don't throw any more Dragon Slaves around the CR, those things are dangerous!

Fire Storm- One of the rules I have yet to add is the Evangaleon Exclusion Principle... Neon Genesis is exempt from almost all anime laws, but never more than five at a time.

Deuce- I didn't LET the sanity escape, it did that on its own...

DREAMCAST!

Heh, felt like joining in. But, I probably won't be getting one anytime soon. I am not forking over 240 bucks JUST for SOnic Adventure, much as I love the hedgehog... As it is, there aren't any other games available. I'm more likely to get a 100 buck N64 for Zelda and Starfox... Or a 100 buck Playstation for all those RPGS...

Johnny- I normally don't mind, but when people ask for the umpteenth time when new episodes are coming when the response has always been that we just don't know quite yet, and I've answered the question almost twice a week, it gets aggrivatin... And TGS isn't quite the adventure you might think... Its fun, but at times...

Jewel- "Here is Greenwood"... Heh heh. FUn series.

Gunjack- You're not the only one overwhelmed by all the newbies...

SJ- Mononoke October 29th? (Marks calander) ANd then Pokemon is November 12th... Its gonna be an ANIMEted fall!

Eh, that seems to about everything... RP time!

**RP HERE- THE CYBER SMURF SAGA**

The cyber smurf arcs an eyebrow at his oncoming attackers. SJ kicks at the small creature (its only a foot tall, punching would be difficult) and seems to connect, only for the smurf to vanish.
"Huh? WHere'd he go?" SJ asks before getting knocked in the back of the head. "Aw geez, not again!"
Kari moans as she has also been hit. "He's quick, I'll give him that. We attacked him and he hit us in back..."
Even though his face can not be seen through his mask, Black Tiger is clearly stunned. "The legends did not exagerate the creature's sheer power..."
"Bob Dole does not know any legends about smurfs," Tuxedo Dole begins, his top hat missing, having been effortlessly knocked off by the smurf while he was attacking SJ and Kari.
A growl, a non cat-like growl, begins to come from the Black Tiger as he prepares to rush the Smurf. He moves quickly and charges up energy in his gauntlets, and slams his fist down into the Smurf, driving it into the floor and sending debris everywhere. "I hit him! YES!"
The smurf sighs. "I stood still and thats the best you could do?" Faster than the eye can follow, the cyber smurf's fist goes up into Black Tiger's chest, cracking his armor and knocking him to the ground. Black Tiger gasps for breath and clutches at his now pained stomach.
"This... Is not good..." SJ begins. "He's fast and he's powerful... We can't just use brute strength on him, we'll have to try something else..."

***BEGIN RP***
SJ and Kari both turned to face the smurf now that the evil blue being had taken care of the ratatat problem that he himself
created. "I still can't believe this," SJ says in disbelief. "I mean--he's a smurf! A *smurf*. I thought they were supposed to
be lovable and cute and peaceful. Not homicidal megalomaniacs with enough raw power to fuel a small sun!"
"We can still take him down," Kari said confidantly, although her voice wavered. "We've been through a lot; we're pretty
tough ourselves. And I'm *not* going to have the final chapter of my life end with 'death by smurf'."
"Smote by a Smurf, that's got to be embarassing," SJ agreed. "Still, the little bugger has one heck of a right cross."
"Bob Dole knows one thing!" Tuxedo Bob Dole exclaimed. "Bob Dole may have lost the election, but he's ready to kick
some blue ass!"
The other two nodded, and with a cry, they all rushed at the smurf at once....
****END RP***

Entertainment News!!!!
Couple of interesting tidbits in today's news- It looks as if it is now being CONFIRMED that actor Sean Bean, best known
to us Yanks for his roles in "Ronin" and as the evil 006 in "Goldeneye", has been cast in the role of BOROMIR. This,
coupled with the recent casting of Legolas and Gimli, brings the "Fellowship" to a close. So far, I must say I'm quite pleased
with Peter Jackson's casting. He fought the good fight and actually got the people he wanted to be cast, instead of having to
eat company crow and cast popular Hollywood types (for example, Keanu Reeves at one time wanted the part of
Strider/Aragorn. Can you imagine if the studio had forced Jackson to cast him? <O . o>) Instead he's filled the films with
either a)very talented veteran actors (like Ian McKellen, Ian Holm, and Christopher Lee) or b)very talented "unknowns" (I
say unknowns because they are largely unknown to American viewers, not to imply they are inexperienced).
To see a visual representation of the cast so far, click on my name to go to a link that'll show you who's who.

Also, it finally appears as if Dogma has a U.S. distributor. Lion's Gate picked it up, and it comes out Nov 12, just 3 days
before my B-day. Hopefully I can go check it out as a b-day present to meself....

Coyote: Others have already said, in better words, what I also feel about your talent. I can tell just by listening to you that
you have a real passion for music, that it's in your blood. So what if somebody says you aren't good enough, they're wrong.
To be perfectly offensive, f*** them. I can vouch from experience that a lot of colleges, and definitely college professors, out
there seem to spend most of their time thinking up inventive ways to screw the students over. Don't let those SOBs take
away your desire to teach. If you're good at it--and I have absolutely no doubt in this world that you are--you shouldn't give
a damn what a few naysayers tell you, no matter how "prestigious" or "educated" they are. Do that which you love, bro.
Teach music, play music, let it be your life. Don't let your dreams be raped away from you by a bunch of pompous a-holes
who don't know what they're talking about..

Speaking of music.....just got finished watching the MTV music awards. **DEEP sigh** Well, I am honestly surprised. I
didn't think that it was possible to put on such a banal award show, but I was wrong. What did this year's MTV awards give
us? "Artists" devoid of talent, lame jokes/performances, and a bunch of people winning awards they shouldn't win/don't even
deserve to be nominated for.
First off, let's look at Chris Rock. I'll give him credit, he's a funny guy--usually. Sometimes he falls flat on his ass, though.
Most of his stuff tonight wasn't that great....well, that and the crowd wasn't laughing (I guess some of those Ricky Martin
jokes cut a little too close to the quick, huh?). I suppose I can't really blame him, though. This show was so poorly put
together and downright awkward, he frequently had to pan for time--he even told us he was doing so. Still, he didn't do that
great a job, although I suppose I'll cut him some slack and say he did the best he could under the kind of circumstances he
had to perform in.
As for the artists......I shall say this now, and get it over with: ROCK IS DEAD. It died along the way somewhere, and what
we are left with is horrible bubble-gum pop music and hip hop and rap and rap posing as some sort of bastardized "new
school" heavy metal (wake up call--if you have a rap song, adding a electric guitar to the background does NOT make it
heavy metal, okay?). All I saw was those individuals who I see as everything that is wrong with the music
industry--Backstreet Boyz, Eminem, N*Sync, 98 Degrees, Britney Spears (even though she's cute), Puff Daddy, Korn, Limp
Bizkit, Ricky Martin, and ESPECIALLY Kid Rock (f-in' piece of white-trash trailer park @#$&!, I'll get you and your little
f-in midget...) The only thing that I can possibly say about all those individuals that gives me one iota of hope is that they're all
flavors of the month--they'll all be gone in about a year from now, hopefully never to return.
I won't even go into how screwed up the actual awards where....how people who shouldn't ever get nominated won
everything....I mean Jesus, they gave best dance video to those retards from that Fatboy Slim song? (I hate the whole
concept of a "best dance" category altogether, but give it at least to somebody who is attempting to actually dance, like Ricky
Martin, don't give it to those spastics flayling around in the Slim video! They look like they're in the middle of a goddamn
epileptic seizure!)
The only good thing--the ONLY good thing (well next to seeing Christina Aguileres....damn she can't just be 18!)--in the
show was Nine Inch Nails performance (although, like my seemingly psychic friend Xanathar predicted, he was in the later
hours of the show ;). Trent gives us some new music after years of doing little more than producing or scoring for feature
films. It even seemed as if the crowd actually got into the song after awhile. Personally, I would have loved for Trent to
perform "Starf***ers Inc.", but that was perhaps a little too caustic. "My god's a shallow little b!tch trying to make the
scene...."

hi all!

*rolls her eyes* I had hoped to be in here more than once a week, but? i've been working on too many things lately.

ok I just kinda scanned the room and skipped quite a bit, so I don't have to much to post about right about now.

Coyote< I'm sorry, I didn't notice the name change, between Rayvn and Ryvnn, but I tried. If you tried to send something to me, I never got it though. Sorry

Dark Water< I love that show!!!! I used to watch it every day!! but once I actually got a job, I stopped watching it and never noticed it got taken away. that sucks!

Does anybody know why ABC has been changing their Saturday morning prgramming so much? it annoys the heck outa me! I've not had to much to do with it lately bcuz I can't keep track of whats on and when.

Sevarius< I'm reading the Prophet right now, but I'm also reading the visitation. I absolutely love that book! I think I like the Visitaion a little better. The Oath gave me nightmares for weeks and weeks, so bad I couldn't even finish reading it, but that could also be becuz I read about 300 or so pages of the thing in one day at night too. so who knows?

well, if I missed anything at all, I'm sorry. Gotta go now, bye!

Hi everybody. I'm supposed to be re-writing Freelance episode 4, but I'm not quite ready to start yet. The thing is, episode 3 really changed James' character, so a lot of what he did in episode 4 (Which, for those not paying attention, was almost finished before I wrote episode 3) doesn't work any more.

Ick.

So, to kill some time, here are a few random comments.
Anime/Manga
X/1999 is amazing. Harsh Mistress TV, a group that does Anime music videos, did a version of Lorena Mackennit's "Bonny Swans" to it. Wow. I've never seen the movie, but I've read about half of the manga.

Vampire Hunter D. The first tape I ever bought. It has some problems (You can't leave two little bitemarks on someone's neck when your mouth opens wider than her head) , but over all, a good story.

Sanctuary. I've never seen the Anime, but I've read the first three Manga trade paperbacks. Good stuff. Kind of like a Tarrentino movie, but with a plot.

Ranma 1/2. I have leveled an eternal bloodcurse against my best friend over this series. He has all the tapes up until the climax of the big martial figureskating match. Then he has the next episode AFTER the end of the fight. His soul is forfet...

On the other hand, maybe I should just buy the tape myself.

Writing
Freelance 4. I'll try to get the bulk of it hacked out tonight. I figure it will take me about a week to finish the whole thing, then send it to Delphi for editing.

"Real" writing. My next project is to rewrite an old short story. I sent it off to my writer's group, and they liked everything except for the main character and the narrative style. Observant readers will realize at this point that fixing those problems involves a total rewrite.

Out of the blue. One of my co-workers asked me today if I would be interested in writing a video game. He and a friend are going to do the code, and I'm going to do the pretty words and pictures. This is all the information I have to release at this time, since I only heard about this four hours ago. Oh, except that the other guy, not the guy I work with, knows one of the distribution execs at Wal-mart, and may be able to get Wal-mart to sell the game in their stores.

I hope this works out, but I'm not holding my breath. It would be cool, though. I bet if you wrote a video game, you can get in to Cons as a guest. :)

Totally random. (SJ might enjoy this one, it's in his dad's line of work)
I have this really cool idea for how to become a world conquoring super criminal. I want to crossbreed Kudzu and Poison Ivy. Then I'll threaten to release the seeds over cities that refuse to accept my rule. (SFX- Maniacal laughter)

OK, enough time wasted. I'll talk to y'all later.

Real post later--

Jewel: Princess Mononoke will be released (hopefully) on October 29th. The original release date was this past July 9th, but was pushed back due to the already hectic summer movie schedule.
(I almost wish it had come out in early July, it certainly would have been a more welcome alternative than having to suffer--and I mean suffer--through "Wild Wild West".)

*Valentine walks through the door looking a fright. he still wears his usual suit and jacket, but his face is white as paper, and a crude smile has been scrawled around his mouth with black paint*

I thought the costume was apropriate, given my general frame of mind. I seem to be in a bit of a decline, starting with severe violence withdrawal on monday, and continuing in a general sort of malaise throughout the week. That, and the sudden shooting pains in my head that have been going on all week...
I think the stress has gotten to me...

Dave... My mind is going... I can feel it... Hehehe!

*Fastdraws a comped berreta and fires a round through each of DC's kneecaps.*

Adrienne><<but....... did they ever get together? (I can picure it....in each others faces, screaming at each other, and suddenly.......they kiss....>> Why am I reminded of the intro to C&C? Slap, slap, smooch...:) and if that doesn't summerize the recent discussion of love...

Aaron><<Plus, it always bugs me when the supposedly highly trained mercs misidentify their hardware. Peter Firth says get the M-79, and they bring back a LAW. Completely different weapons.>>How about when someone needs a "teflon-coated sniper round" in a high-powered rifle to kill someone through a kevlar vest?

Jaden><<toys go in and out of fashion but lego just keeps on going and getting better.>> I remember when a friend and I petitioned the company to make more "monster" legos...

Duece><<But it is CONFIRMED that the next XF movie will come out in Summer 2001, tentatively titled "The X-Files: Invasion">>About bloody time.

Taleweaver><<I'm guessin the reason why there were few to none Tula fiures is for the same reason GI Joe suffered a fifty to one boy girl ratio. Having female action figures blurs that line some marketing whiz set up between action figures and dolls>> If the doll packs things that lacerate, eviscerate, detonate, or are illegal in most of the fifty states as well as canada, it's pretty obvious that they ain't meant for playing house... And besides, the world needs more female buttkickers!

Heather - Lucky stiff! I still have to catch up on a few years of school before my parents will let me join the ranks of the wage slaves...:(

Coyote><< And now while I sit here mired in long-past-due student loan payback bills, working 45 hours a week at a $7.25/hr job and forcibly separated from the love of my life, those bastards are getting professional salaries.
There *is* no justice in this world, if hacks like that can be paid to shatter dreams like mine. >>And yet everyone continues to wonder why we have so many people going postal.

Hentai Anime - This is why I only read fanfics of anime like Ranma 1/2; The fics themselves are relatively clean, but I don't know if I want to chance a show with someone like Happousi as a main character... On the other hand, I've always wanted to see a fic where the little freak runs into Demona...;)

Mandolin - Sue their butts off, man! Look at all the piddling lawsuits that are always floating around. If someone can sue a restruant because of coffee burns, couldn't you sue the stupid freakers for permanent hearing damage, and emotional distress, and psychological damage, and...and...

Wilek><< I can just see the Pokedex entry... 'Xenomorph: Pokemon #665. Type: Bug/Poison. Avoid at all costs.>> Dude, I've said it before, and I'll say it again: You are one screwed-up dude. Be sure to stay that way...:) Oh, and what would be #666?

And now, without further ado...

*****************************!!!MY FIRST RP!!!*******************************
Somewhere in space, the eternal void is sundered as a small scout craft rips it's way through the fabric of time. Onboard, the three passengers slip out of safety harnesses and try to blink the stars out of their eyes. The pilot, a young man wearing an olive drab jumpsuit, recovers first.
"Crap... Uh, Masters, was that normal?" Behind him, one of the passengers moans, and runs his hands across his legs to make sure they're still there.
"Unhhh...Friggin' war wounds...I think I left part of my leg back in Point Hope." He massages his temples with one hand, and checks his wristcomp. "Actually, that was quite a bit worse than usual... Our target must have skipped threads in transit. Tricky little bugger." Noticing the look of confusion on the pilot's face, he grins. "A rough comparison would be driving your car down the side of a mountian to shake somebody following you. Effective, but very risky."
In the seat next to him, Gunjack Marius Valentine is already interfacing with the ship's computer. His eyes unfocus as his mind is immersed in a sea of data, and he quickly begins scanning through the ship's diagnostics.
"Looks like that one hurt us a bit... We've lost one of the engines, and the point defense system is shot to heck.

Anime: Have any of you seen "X/1999"? *Really* good. the only problem is that they had to truncate the story to make the movie only 2 hours. Another good anime, for you older folks out there--is "Sanctuary," if you can get a hold of the anime version. There's also a live-action, which is even better and tells more of the story (THe Live-action is in Japanese, so don't mistake it for the American film with the same name that came out a while ago). "Vampire Hunter D" is a classic. Classic. And the funniest anime I've ever seen, even more than "Ranma 1/2" is "Here is Greenwood."

Oh, and does anyone know exactly when "Princess Mononoke" is coming out? I saw the trailer and now I *really* want to see it...

Slow day at work so I get to post yea.

Cartoons and Anime. Sorry the story is the most important part to me. That’s why I loved American pop it combines music and a decent story. I mean if you have good animation but a bad story then your just watching eye candy.

Shotgun raptor space train 99 was a decent story better than Ranma ½ (sorry this is animated friends with out Courtney Cox) you know throw in a lot of violence and friends might be animeable hmmmm

Wizards this was a post apocalyptic cartoon movie. Done by Ralph B. (did lord of the rings too) basically the human race had a nuclear war killed each other and almost the world and then the faye folk came back and saved most of it. The fairy queen gave birth to twin sons one a good fairy and one an evil mutant the cartoon is their final conflict. It is a political anti war film. Fritz yea it was x rated but I kinda thought it was a political cartoon. I thought it was trying to make a statement at the time (that or I was really drunk when I saw it one or the other I don’t know). There is a sequel time to rent!

Bondage fairies yep been there done that. If you like twisted tales with erotica broken halo is great I think I posted a link at one time.

There is an anime festival/convention in Atlanta first week in October my friend wants me to go, because this is the first year she is going in costume. One of the slayers characters can’t remember who

Starblazers now there is a cartoon the sci fi channel needs to show. Hmm mabey an email or talk to them at the next convention. Oh wait disney bought the rights didn’t they? If they did I can forget about every seeing them off tape again.

All this anime and cartoon talk is making me want to play champions for some reason go fig.

Last but not least any one remember the max?

Wouldn't have posted now, but I went to class only to find it was canceled for today. So...

**RANT WARNING! PETTY AND MINOR, BUT I'M STILL TICKED!**

Arrgh... thanks to an already canceled class, I was left with no class nor work today until 2 pm. So, naturally, I allowed myself to stay up til 2 am, figuring I could sleep in. WRONG!!! At 7:45 this morning, I was woken up by the incessant chipping of metal against concrete. At 8:30, the sound died away, to be replaced with a jackhammer right below my freaking window!! Some jackass hired some guys to retile the patio by my residence hall all day - and it didn't occur to them that since there were classes, a lot of students wouldn't be able to escape the racket easily by going home! My friend next door is laid up with a broken ankle, and she's not going to be able to run over to the library to study that easily. As I write this, the damn jackhammer is still going, and when I went down at 1 to ask these guys when the hell they were going to stop, they gave me blank looks and said, "What? We just started." If they're not out of here by dinner, I'm rounding up all the other crazy people in this hall and we're going to forcibly drag them off campus. My ears have been ringing all day, and the extra strength Tylenol I took isn't helping.

These guys have hearing protection... dammit, couldn't the college have warned us so we could get earplugs? I'm not right next to the source, but after listening to Dad the audiology expert, I *know* this has to be damaging my hearing.

**END RANT! YOU CAN COME OUT NOW!**

Mara> Read part one. Mwa ha ha! I love it! I really do!

Johnny> <<You should be flattered that people are asking about TGS. I would be. It's not a job..It's an adventure.>> You might not believe this, but there are times when it just feels like a job... **mumbles something incoherent about story dibs**

Deuce> <<I'll bet you'd be a kick-ass teacher. >> Coyote, I second that. :)

I was going to make a much longer post, but I have to get out of the dorm and get as far away from the construction as possible. It feels like my ears are going to bleed if I stay in here any longer.

'Til later!

Apologies for the double post, and for the silliness of the previous post, but I haven't done anything like that in a while ... I needed to get out of my funk, y'know?

Kaioto: You can rest assured that I'm not *about* to do anything rash as a result of my injured self-esteem. This is the main reason why I haven't gone back yet ... that and my student loans coming due.
And actually, my mother told me that she expected when I went back, I'd be going into telecom, which is what I had changed majors to after I'd gotten screwed by the music school.
Hmm ... now that I have ye here ... let's see if you're on IM ...

Music: I'm moderately talented at flute, and I know as little as is possible to know about piano and still be able to play "Pop Goes The Weasel" well. :-) I do sing, but you'll get divided opinions on my talent there. My voice and my lyric-writing skills are the only things the band I'm in has use for me. That and my insanity is highly useful to their creative process.

**before Coyote can stand up to stop them, three female figures bust down the door of the CR ... the original Lina Inverse, the Gargoyle Lina Inverse from Kenna Street's AvMists pic, and Coyote's character Lina. Coyote's character comes forth to talk for the whole group**

Mara: Size isn't everything!! I thought Godzilla proved that ... :)

**Coyote approaches all three and tries to herd them out of the room. Three fireballs and an elmekia lance later, Coyote's charred carcass wanders back over to the lawn chair ... but the three Linas have left.**

Unhhh ... please forgive my graphic making of the point, but I though that bringing those three in would be a better way of proving my point that not all men are into huge bust sizes. For me, it's all about proportion ... and relatively speaking Lina's figure is in the correct proportion ... thusly making her (at least to me) attractive.

**eyes the door** That and, if I don't say that my character Lina is gonna shoot a lightning bolt up my @$$, so I'd better agree. **motions to the door** Lina, get back there, I've gotta write you into "Team Delta!!"

**Begin RP**
Not wanting to hurt the guardsmen for following the orders of their superiors, Kaioto has been forced to keep his sword sheathed and attempt to subdue his foes barehanded. Of course, steel toed-boots and Aikido techniques hardly qualify as unarmed.
Wading through the compound while Tom aides the rescue of the Ravens, Kaioto is a marked by the grunts of pain and cries of shock that generally proceed and accompany people being propelled bodily through the air and into one another. Roundhouse kicks flash at the same moment as back-fist strike convert to shoulder throws. The steel and stone walls have begun to dent and crack respectively from all the impacts.
Even with the non-lethal techniques, his hands are becoming spattered with blood from broken noses and scrapes on armor. The amount of pain being generated from the fight laces the aura of the area so much it is sickening. The occasional bullet slamming into the reinforced Kevlar lining of his trench coat has not improved the Seeker’s disposition to this situation either.
**pause RP**

Coyote: *pats on back* *nods* I understand this particular subject better than you might think. Just promise me, no mater what they do to you, you won’t do anything rash. I had an uncle who you’d classify as a failed Art student. He dwelt on this negativity a lot. He also believed he was alone, and had failed at life itself. He was wrong; but by age 10, I didn’t have an uncle anymore. *shakes his head* *hugs* We are here for you, even in the darkest of times.

JackaL: Welcome back. Missed you something awful, pal.

Christine: That is a wonderful sentiment. Good plan. : )

Mara: Nice to have you on board. Coyote directed me to your MySTings in the archives. He’s had nothing but nice things to say about you. : )

Pirates of Dark Water: When they canceled this show without ever getting past the 8th treasure, I was severly disappointed. There was so much left to do with the characters and conflicts (and yes, the sexual tension between Ioz and Tula) that it was like finding a single copy of a wonderful book, and then discovering the last half had been utterly destroyed by water damage. Sometimes it make me want to cry.

**Resume RP**
Sighing heavily, the Seeker shakes his head in disgust and takes a deep, calming breath even as he kicks a guard before him in the stomach. He raises his left hand over his lead and plants his right toe into the aforementioned guard’s face.
"Starfire,
Dulls the senses,
Christening the night,
*(boots another on-rusher in short form)*

Moonbeams,
Dazzling cascade,
What marks the sleeper’s eye.
*(raised hand begins to glow faint-silver)*

Darklight,
Stalks the heavens,
Hunting shadow prey,
*(backhands someone into a walk)*

Somnes,
Smothering embrace,
When world-wake is to die."

The Seeker’s hand now glows a faint gold tinge, tainting the air about it softly …
"Peace," He speaks softly. The golden tint of the air begins to sweep out, changing the air before it in a wave. A ripple effect carries through the compound. A half-dozen guards rushing forwards are caught fully in its wake, and stumble to the ground, unconscious before they can even yawn once.
Kaioto lowers his hand and shakes his head wearily. It pounds with a splitting headache. He glances about and moves to find Tom, wincing as it feels life he is half-way to a cerebral hemorrhage. "I Hate that," he mutters quietly as he dashes off. He glances quickly at his crimson-stained hands, knowing in his heart something he hates and fear so much more, he will not even voice it. He grits his teeth against the pain in his synapses and continues to move, his not to complain, but to fight ever on. Always the fight …

**switches out the candle early today** Long's I'm up, I may as well, though I doubt I'll be staying awake much longer after what I'm waiting for ... have to be up early so that I can be ready to help move in a new dishwasher.

Wilek, re: Starship Troopers: Yeah, the animation's great, but it seems like Sci-Fi is simply rerunning the same four friggin' episodes in an endless loop. At this rate it'll be forever before they get to the eps that Greg wrote.
But I must say that I like the voice acting. Not just Bill Fagerbakke but the actor playing Razak sounds like he could be Gene Hackman's twin brother at times.

Fire Storm, re: dumbing down Kekko Kamen: Uhmm ... if she runs around nekkid and uses an attack like *that*, I doubt there's much dumbing down they could do before they start losing way too much. Cutting or no, they'd still need *something* to show.

Mara: Slayers fan too, coolies. And sure, we all have our preferences ... mine particularly happens to be Lina.

Music school crisis: Thanks everyone who has given me their opinion on my situation. I will say, though, that I still love music to the extent that I live to perform. But I don't have the love deep enough to teach it anymore. The kind of hoops I had to leap through at that school of music took that away from me. And all the while, the kind of criticism they were giving me got me to the point that I hated myself for not being good enough. Being hyper-critical as it is, you can imagine how I wound up feeling ... useless and stupid, that's how.
That's why I won't study music anymore. However long I stay away from scholarly music study, it will *never* be enough time to prepare me to face that kind of thing again.

My web page is acting up again. Xoom seems to be very confusing, but at least it's free. If your wanting to get to my web page I have filled out the URL to send you to my List of names, where you can get anywhere. But there hasn't been a real update yet.

I'm also thinking about putting up a dreams page. I have many dreams about gargoyles, Beast Wars, or other things. And usually they can get very interesting.

Concerning my fan-fics. I've completed a possible Proluge to my first story and working on a first chapter. But I have a problem as to figuring out what exactly is to happen. As soon as my first chapter is done I will post it up at the archive. Tune in soon....

My top ten is bringing up a storm. I will most likley put a Top Ten page at my site and put them up at the avalon site. Here is another top ten to get your blood boiling.

Top Ten people I do not want to see on Gargoyles.

10: Richard Simmions. " That's right Goliath get those buns movin'! And 1 and 2 and 1 and 2! SHAKE THAT BOOTY!"

9: The Fran. "(nasal voice) ya know Brookie baby I lways thought you were the good looking one!"

8: Bill Gates. " I'll rule the world and the gargoyles can't stop me! BWHAHAHAHA!"

7: Mister Rogers. " Now Now Goliath...you may have lost the battle but remember! 'It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood...a beautiful day...'"

6: Bill Clinton. " Well Elisa it depends on what you mean by the period....do you mean you END the statement there, or you'd like to continue on, but have noting else really to say? HMM? Let's get detailed here!"

5: Ben Stein : " Oh dear. Demona had caught me. The world will end. Only the gargoyles can save me now..."

4: Power Rangers. " Don't worry Lex! Will save the day in our megazords! Red Power ranger! Go!"

3: Barney: " Now Demona, do you really want to kill me? I know! How about a song! I love you! You love me....AIUGH no! GAK!" (barney dies....hehehehe...)

2: Martha Stewart: " Don't worry Goliath you see, if we just glue the pieces together, and then apply a finish, which is actually nice for those homecoming days for th family...we may be able to stop the world destruction from the evil Dr. Savarius. Now after that I like to apply flowers...."

1: Power Puff Girls: "YA YA YA power Puff Girls to the recue! Let's save that hansome dude Brooklyn YAAAAA!"

This is my funniest...He he...I'm saving this on for good! I was laughing myself!

I remember that the mysterious cities were really alien craft, but when I tell people this, they look at me like I'm crazy(er).>>I'd love to know how the show ended as well,I never got to see all of it(I wish they'd put all these shows back on)

Aaron again:Face-hugger, I choose you!>>MMMMWWWWHHHAAAA!!!!!(So many lovely mental images>:))

Mara Cordova:Welcome to the nuthouse:)

Heather:Congratulations on the job(and tell us about any stupid customers you come across:))

Zath:Welcome back

Zath again:only one of my roommates has a computer but everyone wants to use hers and not mine, probably because they know I always put my feet on the keyboard >: P>>Clad I'm not the only one who does that>:)

Kitainia:why must so many great games have terrible endings these days?>>I know what you mean,even the mighty Half-Life fell down in this department*IMHO*,I know I've been harping on about it a lot lately but System Shock 2 is a great game Both atmosphere and plot wise(SHODAN was and still is the best PC game Villain ever,she's not just some Boss to beat at the end of the game)

SJ:Trent and the Nine Inch Nails are going to be at the music awards!!NO WAY am I going to miss this>:),But knowing award ceremonies they probably won't have him on ti'll the end which means we'll have to put up with Ricky Martin*Snarls* for two hours.

Coyote re music school:I really don't know what say,Give Coyote a Big *HUG*

Princess Estra:I hope you feel better in the morning.

AAron: <Face-hugger, I choose you!>
<Twisted laughing is heard in the CR>

Green Baron: Where is Mary's birthdate listed?

Ironwolf: Well, no one mentioned Vampire Hunter D because we are talking about Anime Series. When the subject of Anime MOVIES comes up, there is DEFINATELY talk about that movie! (Even talk about it's sequel, now under production and to be released (Crosses fingers) in 2001)

Vampire Hunter D: SJ, I agree that it is good because they DIDN'T tone it down for the US.

Coyote: Damn... Sorry to hear about your teaching troubles.
But, sorry if this offends you and I hope it dosn't...
The school systems are TOTALLY desperate for teachers! Remember that Wayne county teachers fair a few months ago? Well, 5000 people showed up to this... 8 hours later, most people left pissed and they were only able to interview 100 people. Guess how many became teachers? 100. No background check, no drug test, nothing.
They are THAT desperate. I swear... even if you DIDN'T have a shread of talent in you, there are school districts <DETROIT> that would GLADLY take you! (As soon as that laughable strike is over)

Music: One of the few small regrets I have in life is not learning to play an instrument. Only in the past few years have I started to regret it. Maybe one day...
But not now, unfortunately.
(NOTE: I do have some MUCH larger regrets, though)

Music and Art are DEFINATELY not appreciated in schools. Many students LOVE those classes, and in some schools (Dearborn High, for example) art teachers and art students alike have to pay out of thier own pocket for class suplies.
But the sports teams get FREE uniforms. Roughly 10 years ago, the voters rejected a millage vote, and it required football players to pay $130 to pay. Well, guess what happened? An emergency millage vote was called and it passed.
Personally, I hate school sports because of this. (Well... not the girls sports and cheerleaders, but thats a TOTALLY different matter! :)
Actually... I am not too fond of some other sports for the same reason. (Phillidelphia. Someone posted an article about that city in here a few weeks ago.)

Work: The people are jerking us around. They are REALLY pushing LM to finish two pictures for them. (Repairing and touching up two HORRIBLY done and HORRIBLY mangled pictures.) They will probally want them for free because they "will use me for all there future computer needs."
Oh yeah?
Prove it. Buy that server that you need if you are going to use me for that stuff.
I hate to be pushy, but they have been stalling for 2 months on this, and now it's time to put up or I get out.

Skippy: Be glad they didn't dub it. They may make the relationship between the heroine and the teacher a friendship, and TOTALLY screw it up like how I heard they did with Sailor Moon.

SJ, GB: I ahve to agree with SJ on Billy Crystal. Asexual. Definately.
Michael Jackson, on the other hand...

Robby: Oh, those laws are SO true!

I was a fool to trust you! And an even greater fool to sleep with you? ALl right, who put that in there?" We hav GOT to get the REAL Jeff Bennet to say that on camera when ever he is at a Gathering!

Wilek: <AND THEN THEY KILLED HIM!> Chas? I know, I know...
(Sucks to be you.
I know, it's true.)
Oberon help me, I HAVE to get that song on MP3!

Starship Troopers: Oh, I HAVE to get that title song MP3ed!
FYF: Broadway's voice is in that show.

Man.. no posts in 1.5 hours... WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU ALL? ASLEEP OR SOMTHING?!?

Pirates of Dark Water-(again) I do remember having to get up really early to catch the show. Why don't people realize that having cartoons on really early in the morning doesn't work?

Christine- Great idea. I loved the picture on the card.

Hey, all! Courtesy of Noel's idea and art, and Tim's computer savvy, you now have the opportunity to sign a birthday guestbook for the one, the only Greg Weisman! (the big day's coming up on 9/28).

Spread the word, but let's keep it out of the main CR, okay, because we don't want him to find out about it until later this month when everyone's had a chance to sign it.

Find it at http://www.eskimo.com/~vecna/greg_bday_99.html or clickie-click.

Also new on my site -- a new Jericho in the Annex (mature eyes only) by Demona May.

**RP!**

[On the Dark Star II, Wilek's Dark Mage clone sees the that the cybersmurf is rather more powerful than they originally accounted for...and ever so subtly broadcasts a psionic call...]

**PAUSE RP AND BEGIN SPOILERS FOR SCI-FI'S MORNING ANIMATION LINEUP**

Monster Rancher> At first glance, I thought, 'OK, this is a Pokemon ripoff'. Then I looked again. Not only does this have an actual storyline, but it's a good deal darker than Pokemon. That, and Tiger (I think that's his name, the blue wolf) reminds me of Treble from the Mega Man games. ^_^

Starship Troopers> This...this...it's...there are no words. This is the new paradigm of animation. It no longer even qualifies as animation, it's a simulacrum of reality. It's incredible. Reboot's animation? Nothing compared to this (though I prefer Reboot's storyline). Beast Wars? Forget it. Jonny Quest? HA! This is unbelieveable. One thing though...the human characters are rather obnoxious. Oh well. Thing is, I saw the ep where they acquired a droid officer. This was one of the kewlest characters of any kind that I have ever seen. Interesting character development, kewl design, that kind of thing. AND THEN THEY KILLED HIM! THEY #!$%@#%@#$%ING KILLED HIM! THOSE !@!@#$$!@$#$ @#$%@#$%@#$%ING SONS OF @#%@#$%@#% KILLED THE MOST @!#$%!@#%#ING INTERESTING @#$@#$%#^ING CHARACTER ON THAT WHOLE !@$%@#$%#ING SHOW! @#$%@#$^%$&$*^&(^&(&)($%&#$%^@%!@$!%#$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <blink> I'm OK. Really. <twitch>

**END**

Jackal> Welcome back! ^_^

$Nightwalker> <<I'm still going to join your RP after the cyber smurf battle, I just need to know what the plot is .>> It's essentially this--Thailog, along with several co-conspirators (including an evil mage named Kharsus, a Dark Jedi named Jerec, and a corrupt priest named Pastor John), are trying to take over the world. There are a lot of sub plots that are kind of hard to comprehend unless one reads the RPs quite regularly.$

SJ> <<Are you talking about the Jon Waters film? The one with Divine? Where he/she eats the you-know-what? Horrifying piece of celluloid.>> Yup. <shudder> I have to wonder who could think up such depravity. At least my brand of psychosis has an actual purpose other than to make people barf. Eesh.

Warpmind> <<Oh, and guys... I've managed to work out the Timedancer filk... just needs to be typed.>> Oh kewl! Can't wait to see it. ^_^

Aaron> <<Ahh, nostalgic memories of Nick showing something worth watching>> Oh, yes. I remember when they showed the Star Trek animated series, a strange little show called You Can't Do That On Television (which was mindless but entertaining, and I have a feeling it rather shocked the S&P dept.), and the completely insane Out Of Control (which I was young enough to appreciate, perhaps because Dave Coulier had yet to tarnish his career and his immortal soul with <shudder> Full House). <<Face-hugger, I choose you!>> <muhahaha> I can just see the Pokedex entry... 'Xenomorph: Pokemon #665. Type: Bug/Poison. Avoid at all costs.' Hee hee hee.

Sarge> Yet another top 10 that makes me laugh until it is physically painful. ;)

Deuce> <<pulls out a huge vaccuum cleaner that feeds into a multi-faceted, gem-like jar.>> So THAT'S the sanity sucker! I was working on making a replacement extraction rig using the nucleonic transception gear on my torture device Mr. Thingy. But it never seemed to work. Hm...would your device happen to be a modified Particle Displacement Ionizing Vacuum Cannon?

Mara Cordova> Welcome, a thousand welcomes! I read your masterful MSTs of The Beautiful People and Sleepover. There are no words to describe your fantastic works. I'd be more than happy to let you and the boyz rip apart my own pathetic little works! ^_^

Heather> A job, huh? I hope it goes well; I've heard absolute horror stories from the fast food business...

Coyote> <stares in shock for a long, long time> Those...those...ugh. There are no words to describe the depths of their stupidity (the apparent idiots who ran your college, I mean). People like that are the reason that people like us want to take over the world and weed out the unfit. My sincerest condolences, my friend. <blink> You're a musician, and are skilled enough to be a music teacher as well?! WOAH. I am duly impressed. I'm musically inclined, but I don't have the skill to actually set the songs I 'compose' (as if playing them in one's mind could be called composing) into any listenable form--I'm competent but not great at the keyboard, and I don't know jack about sheet music so I can't use my MIDI composition program. :/ It looks as if I yet have another reason to admire you, other than your stories. <G> <<But Jon Waters is a *piker* compared to the sicko who wrote "Twin Dolls.">> You mean...Twin Dolls is WORSE?!!! <shudders violently>

Jewel> It would appear that the CR is infested with musical virtuosi. ^_^ Perhaps we can all conspire to write some great CR symphony. It would be the first symphony to be completely written and performed for the Internet... <G>

Delphi> <<Mr disconnet is being extremly obnoctious about cutting me off everytime I just about get things working>> Ack...he's done that to me more times than I can count. In fact, I do believe that a multi-page Star Trek fanfic I'm trying to read is under some manner of curse--every time I have attempted to read all the way through it, something has happened. The first time, clicking to the next page greeted me with a 'connection to the server could not be established' message. The second time, I was spontaneously disconnected from the Internet, and when I tried to reconnect, I got nothing but busy signals. <GRRR>

Zath> Welcome back! ^_^ <<It's funny, only one of my roommates has a computer but everyone wants to use hers and not mine, probably because they know I always put my feet on the keyboard >: P >> <shudder> Ecccchhhh....

Kitainia> <<The ending was especially terrible (why must so many great games have terrible endings these days?).>> Played Zelda 64? That game has one of the best endings ever. I won't spoil it, but I promise you that it's well worth all the stuff you have to plow through to see it. ^_^ (You haven't lived until you've seen a Gerudo chorus line...)

Skippy> <<the villan, The Great Toenail of Satan>> O_o Is he anything like TOE from Animaniacs? ^_^

Should be doing work, but I had to de-lurk this time.

Coyote> **hugs** I don't know what to say... only that you can't give up on something like that forever. Not because of some pompous jackasses who think they know who's destined for a certain path in life. A professor I know got his degree in Music Education, and you know what he's doing now? Teaching Assembly Language, and boring us to death weekly. Whoever decided he was "good enough" for a degree in music ed, I'll bet, didn't see that one coming.

*sigh* Just know we're here for you. At least don't give up on your love of music, even if you don't want to teach it any more.

SJ- Wait, you haven't read the Manga version of Vampire Hunter D have you? That would make a difference... I had read the comic long before I ever saw the movie, so it just wasn't as good to me and I couldn't tolerate it... (As well if it was the first anime you ever saw, that would also make a difference... But They like, basically completley dropped the werewolf... Grr...)

Robby: Gotta disagree with you buddy, about Vampire Hunter D. It remains one of my favorite Anime movies of all time. It was also the first anime I had ever seen, and for me, the world of animation was forever changed. No longer was the cheerful fluff of American cartoon programming good enough for me; as soon as I saw D with his badass 6-ft. long sword disect someone along the bilateral lines of symmetry....I nearly cried with joy. God I love that movie. So it didn't have much of a plot! It had vampires, cannibalistic mutants, a couple of scantily clad women, and some good puddles of blood, and that was (and is) enough for me.

Had another meeting with Ben Dun today... And dang, but nothing makes one feel like their talent is garbage quicker than seeing a pro outdo your best work in a matter of seconds...

Fire Storm- Two reasons. 1) An anime laws list already exists on the net. My copy just has has a few addendums and corrections I've come up with. 2) I have no way of posting anything on the net. Ah well...

Princess Estra & Spacebabie- I'm well aware of methods of getting fandubbed/subbed episodes of Sailor Moon, but its not in the budget to get 200 or so episodes of a series right now, particularly since I'm working on a couple of other series and things right now... Thanks for the advice anyway tho. (And besides, its the mostly unavailable first 2 seasons I'm really interested in, I want to see the TRUE death of Tuxedo Mask and the scouts!)

Pirates of Dark Water- Actually, the show was doing pretty well, it got a second season after all. The problem existed in the fact that the network that had it aired it in a REALLY BAD timeslot, around 5:30 AM most places... The same thing happened to Sailor Moon actually... Bad timeslot, no ratings...

Sarge- You should send these top tens into the Avalon archive...

Deuce- Actually I had the sanity stored in neat little jars under my bed. SHortly before you came back though something happened to it and it all escaped. Ah well...

Doug- Actually, Tula had an action figure in her first costume. I recall seeing it along with Ren and Bloth, and four dozen Niddler's... Never saw an Ioz tho...

Aaron- As near as I can tell, they only make plushies of Ash's 5 main Pokemon, Mewtwo, and one or two others like Meowth. I don't believe 9 tails is a plushie...

"Facehugger, I choose you!" Heh heh... Thats almost as good as your Jeff Bennet at Gathering 2K line... "I was a fool to trust you! And an even greater fool to sleep with you? ALl right, who put that in there?" Heee...

Ironwolf- Never heard of Wizards and Fritz the Cat was kind of an X-rated psychodelic film thats not exactly available anywhere... Starblazers wasn't mentioned because while actually better than Macross, it hasn't been displayed as prominently, and I don't think its been on television for 15 or so years... As far as Speed Racer, Ithinkithassomethingtodowithalltheplotsbeingmoreorlessthesame,outdatedandsixtiesish,andohyes,thewaythecharacterstalkcouldalsobeafactor... As far as Vampire Hunter D or Galaxy Express 999, well... Neither movie is really that well known, or all that good. I've only seen either of them twice, they aren't really good for repeat viewings.

Shogun Raptor- Your number 4 pic is Dragonball movies 5, 6, and 13? Good pics, though the Broli movie is without question the best one... And Dragonball fusiopn is either the 100 episode Maijin Boo saga, or movie 12, the one with Janemba... (DO I know too muich about Dragonball or what?)

And it was Sailor Moon R that had the Doom Tree saga...

Kitainia- The Black Tiger is a new character I've been wanting to introduce for a while, I figured the Cyber-Smurf Saga was the time to do it... Who he is and a backstory will be revealed later... As far as what the world is doing in reaction to the Cyber-smurf's threat to destroy it... Um... I dunno. I guess they sent some useless retaliation towards the Dark Star 2...

SJ- That was one of the more highly eddited moments in the American version actually... "Your brother may have gotten away but you won't!" Puh.

**RP HERE: THE CYBER SMURF SAGA**

The Cyber-smurf watched the Ratatats. Of the original six mutants, one has been decimated by Black Tiger who overloaded it, one has been handled by the team of Kari and SJ, and two had been wounded by Tuxedo Dole. ANd since their energy absorbing capabilities had already been discovered, their usefullness and one major advantage was near its end. Even as canon fodder they were useless, so the smurf grinned evily, red eyes glowing.
"Enough of this." With a swipe of his hand an invisible wall of force floods the room and waves the remaining Ratatats against a nearby wall. None of them are killed, but they are all incapacitated.
"Incredible..." Black Tiger mutters. "He has enough power to flood an entire room with an invisible wall of energy, AND pick out individual targets! What awesome power..."
"You mean that little trick," the smurf chuckles. "That was not power. What I am about to do is a small sample of power."
The cyber smurf begins to glow with an evil energy.
"No!" Black Tiger seems to sense the power building up somehow, and immediatley boosts the power in his gauntlets, and fires an enormus blast of power directly at his foe. The smurf doesn't even flinch.
"A fine display of light, if such was your intent."

Waaaay far away, a cloning tank opens up, and the clone of Jim Iza Noying steps out, his programming complete. He takes a step, and collapses to his knees. Being a fresh clone, he needs to learn how to walk and use his muscles...

***BEGIN RP****
SJ readies another bolt of energy and sends it streaming into a nearby ratatat.
"Wait!!!" Black Tiger screamed. "Don't use energy attacks! It only makes them stronger!"
"What?" SJ shouts. "What do you mean it makes them--ooooh crap..."
The Ratatat grew in size....and it kept growing. Finally, it loomed over SJ, dwarfing the hero by at least a foot or two. It
snarled and drooled as it approached him.
The geneticist sighed. "This is going to hurt, isn't it?"
***PAUSE RP****

Robby: Didn't have any morning classes today, so I finally caught an episode of the Spanish-language version of DBZ on
Telemundo. Have to say, I was much impressed! :) In just five minutes time, I got to see Dodorino put his fist through
someone's chest, snap another's neck, and totally toast a Nameck child (which, frankly, I could have done without...I don't
really enjoy seeing children die in a film/series, even if it does help the plot). I suppose I'll have to keep a separate tape
collection just for the Spanish versions. Now, if I could just remember those Espanol lessons from high school....

Pirates of Dark Water: I wish I could share some of you-guys' enthusiasm about this show. As it was, I was somewhat
impressed, but that's all. It had some interesting characters and an interesting plot (trying to find the 13 treasures of Ruhl), but
I totally crashed and burned on this show when they only aired, what? A dozen episodes maybe? There was far too much
left undone, so many dangling plot threads. I wish the show had been given time to flesh itself out, but with the product we did
have....I don't know, the show seemed too fractured to me.

BTW, did anyone else watch the series premiere of "Get Real" on Fox? I'm so starved for new television I actually watched
it....I'd like to hear another opinion before I say my piece on this show.
And is it just me, or are the damn networks pushing the air dates of their new/returning shows back farther and farther every
year? It's Sept. 8, I should have been watching new shows for the last 2 weeks by now. Instead I have to wait till October
before the good stuff comes on.

Green Baron: I can go along with the League on "Nothing Sacred" and "Corpus Christi", or something like that famous Piss
Christ painting. But I don't know where they're coming from on Dogma. I've read the script, and it's a satire! It's not a
serious attack on the Catholic Church (it's not *any* kind of attack on the Church)....I mean, you have to have a sense of
humor about things. You shouldn't stand for direct attacks on your religion, I agree. But you shouldn't be so self-serious that
you can't joke about things now and then. I personally find the idea of Chris Rock as the 13th black apostle hilarious; the
premise alone makes me laugh. I'm a solid Christian, but I see that for what it's meant to be, a satire.
What does bother me the most is that Donohue and his fellow League members do not seem to have even read or seen the
film they find so offensive. Like I said, the press packet they put out was filled with nothing but quotes taken out of context
and heresay about the film's "controversial" material. I don't remember one direct quote from any Leauge member saying
something to the fact that "I read the script, and this is what we see as offensive". It was all "Other people say this part is
offensive, others say this is questionable, etc." My point is, I can't take what the League says about the film seriously until I
read something from Donohue himself saying he specifically saw the film or read the script, and then he gives a serious account
(not one designed to be personally inflammatory towards Kevin Smith) of why he thinks it's blasphemous.

GB, again: No way Billy Crystal is gay and/or bisexual! That's got to be one of those weird urban legends like the Richard
Gere story. I can believe that Ricky Martin is gay, I can believe that Andy Dick is gay (oh wait...he IS), I can even believe
that Kevin Spacey is gay (there's some constant rumors!), but I can't believe Billy is bi. He's sort of asexual....I can't picture
him with anybody really...
And I shall no longer listen to any more comments about Adrian Paul's sexuality. La la la not listening la la la ;)

JackaL: You know, you come in here entirely too not often. ;)
BTW, you gonna be watching the MTV music awards tomorrow nignt? I am for one reason--TRENT and NIN. I can't wait
to see all those Backstreet/N*Sync/Ricky Martin bastards have to stand and applaud Trent after he performs some *real*
music. Or watch Carson Daly have to interview him (and I hope he does. DYK that Carson had to pray all day long the day
he interviewed Manson? What the hell did he think he'd do, throw him down and sodomize him? Make him a devil
worshipper?) Anyway, I can't wait till the album comes out the 21st, I'm definitely rushing out and getting it. The new single is
pretty good, but personally I can't stop playing "Starf***ers Inc.", even if it is a radio edit...

Kekko Kamen/Twin Dolls: Don't know if this is sort of the same thing, but I once saw this really strange Japanese
semi-pornographic flick called "Super Naked and Power P****". Naked superheroines and all sorts of other weird stuff,
including light coming out of...um, orifices. I'm telling you, it's true, the Japanese are way hornier than we are!!! I mean, sex is
everwhere in their anime and movies! I mean honestly, have you ever seen an American comic titled "Bondage Faeries"?
They got some rock hard cajones, those folks in the Far East, with some of the stuff they produce.

***RESUME RP****
Before the Ratatat could attack Junior, however, Kari made the save. She dove in between the two and thrust her spear
deep into the mutated rodent's side, then quickly pulling it out again to have another go at him. It roared and made a swing for
her, but she was too fast. She ducked the intended blow and countered with a kick to it's stubby snout. The beast bellowed
in pain, and once again reached out with its claws. SJ was there to help out, as he ran behind the distracted creature and
latched on to its tail. With a grunt of effort, he lifted it up and swung the large ratatat around in a circle by it's spare
appendage.
"Round and round we go...." he quipped. "Oof! But you're a heavy one! Well, it looks like your stop is coming up!" And
with that, he swung his burden straight at the cybernetic Smurf, who was watching the battle with amusement.
Before the creature had even reached spitting distance, the Smurf disintegrated it with the wave of his hand. "Is this the best
you can do?" he sneered. "Really, I had hoped for *something* resembling actual competition before I completely conquer
that mudball of a planet of yours."
"Oh, you'll have more than enough to worry about" Kari promised. She swung her spear in a circle slowly, and turned to
encounter another large Ratatat.

Kekko Kamen & Twin Dolls: Seen both of them, in fact I have the tape of Kekko Kamen.

But If you want seriously weird, I have the Kekko Kamen LIVE ACTION tape, now that is some seriously weird stuff...

Spoilers for video:

I found it at a con a few years ago. It was a bootleg direct from Japan, without any dubbing or subtitling, so the dialog was kind of hard to follow, but the action was easy enough!!!

The story involved a romance between our heroine and the school music teacher, naturally the villan, The Great Toenail of Satan uses this to try and catch Kekko Kamen. The big fight culminates with a room full of Kekko Kamen Klones fighting TGTOS and his horde of cosplay rejects

With it's ludicrously low production values, the movie had the look and feel of your average porno video. The special effects utilized to represent Kekko Kamen's signature move (Considering the strange sexual tome of the whole thing, I leave that image up to your imagination :) were just silly.

The fact that this tape was popular enough in Japan that it got bootleged over here in the US, might be enough of an indicator that the Japanese are just weird, but the realization that this was in fact the THIRD tape in a series makes my mind boggle of the depths of Japanese strangeness...

**RP HERE**

Having taken up very strong positions on either side of the door to the broom closet, Shap and Shauna continue to slice down whatever jerk WCOC members try to come in. Because the group is mostly a bunch of out-of-shape people who aren't really good fighters (unlike the two Ravens), they are easily going down. The few with guns aren't using them, because they're afraid of accidentally shooting a member of their "master race." Shap continues praying as he fights the ones with close range weapons. Shauna feels no need to do the same, faithful they're going to win. Then all of a sudden one of the Nazis heaves a grenade into the closet. Shauna panics and kicks it back at the crowd, taking out many of them. "Nice punt!" Shap chuckles. "But you forgot the sacred oath." "The what?" "You know- Lord God bless this hand grenade, so that it may blow our enemies to tiny bits and scatter them far and wide about the land, in thy mercy."

Hello. Hope everyone's having a good week so far. :) My professors are lately more boring than they should be, even the ones who started out dynamic. As a result, I was barely able to keep interested in my classes today. <sighs> Oh well, such is college life. Maybe it will perk up soon. I really hope so.

On a lighter note, I finally beat the computer game Drakan this afternoon. It was a pretty good game, but had a lot of downsides. Basically everything up to the Succubus Queen boss is great and wonderful, with excellent action, plot, and character development all around. After that, it all goes downhill. No more character development, a concluding plot that did not hold my interest much, and even the action was far removed from the great job they did on gameplay in the first four levels. The ending was especially terrible (why must so many great games have terrible endings these days?). I liked most of the game, and think it was worth the money, but the ending bits really needed some work. 7.9/10, thumbs up.

David G: Forgot about the song in the second story, thanks for the reminder. :) Good luck with moving and writing the next episode of Freelance.

Robby: Great to know work on TGS is proceeding. Hope we soon get some new episodes. $ BTW, I have an RP inquiry. That smurf told the whole world he was gonna take over. Did the United States or any other country decide to do something about it? Probably not, but I just want to make sure. :) And who the heck is the Black Tiger? $

SJ: Thanks for the LOTR info, I look forward to the excellent job I know John Rhys-Davies will do in his role. I agree with you about the quality of That 70's Show (though not Futurama, which I think is not bad, even if it's not as good as Simpsons continues to be).

Welcome back Adrienne and Zath! Welcome to Mara!

Very big welcome back to Deuce! Really missed you, pal. Hope you don't go away again. You are now co-admin along with Robby once more, right? Just curious, it doesn't matter whether you are or not. I'm just glad to see you in here again. :)

Pirates of Dark Water: I remember that show. It was pretty good. Always liked the good guys' ship better than the bad guys' (though the latter was appropriately big, scary, and menacing). The plots and characters were also very interesting. Like Roar, Gargoyles, Invasion America, Brimstone, and so many other shows, Pirates of Dark Water ended way too soon.

Estra: Sorry to hear your life is continuing to have problems. The best advice I can give you is to continue trying to bear it. I too once had to suffer from parents kicking me off the net a lot. Then when I got to college, they weren't around anymore so I could be on it whenever I wanted. :) So all bad things come to an end, you just have to wait and not go nuts over them while they exist. (Yeah, I know, it's not easy, but it still must be done).

Heather: Congrats on your new job. Good luck with it, hope it's not too diificult. :)

Hmm, looks like that's about it. Room's still slow. :( <sighs> Oh well, good night, everyone, see you again next time.

**RESUME THE RP ACTION**

Doug and the other Ravens, having just been freed by Tom and Agent Ripowski, run down the dungeon hallway and find the armory room. Their weapons and gear are conviently lying in the room for them to collect, two guards who Tom knocked out earlier unconscious on the floor. "So where are we?" Doug asks as they pick up their stuff, Jaden smiling as he grabs his axe. "Area 51-A, Mr. Elder," Janice replies, glancing at Kitainia. "I believe you have been here before, have you not?" Kit nods. "Yeah, I was captured by the FBI once and brought here. Doug and everyone else rescued me." "I remember that," Gubio smiles. "They still have that one-way elevator that only goes down and that eternally rising flight of stairs?" Janice nods. "Unfortunately, yes." Keith shakes his head slowly. "Damn government budget cuts." "Oh well, we'll just bear it," Stephanie shrugs. "Let's find that stairway and get climbing. I want to get out of here." "Me too," Doug agrees. "By the way, Tom, have you and Agent Ripowski seen Shap and Shauna anywhere? As you may have noticed, they're not with the rest of us." Tom frowns. "I haven't seen them," he says. "Janice?" Agent Ripowski is about to answer, but suddenly her body starts shaking. The Ravens gasp and all turn towards her, tensing for battle as their FBI friend's form suddenly grows thicker and larger. The head looks up, Janice's mousish features now replaced by the harshly cast average shaded visage of Agent Tau. "Black Ravens," Tau addresses them. "Return to your cells now, await the execution tomorrow like you're supposed to, and I will let you live." Jammer shakes his head. "No way, man!" The others nod in agreement, Orion and Lathrop both beginning spell preparations. Tau sighs. "I thought you would say that." Then he pulls out Ripowski's gun and stands ready to fight the group.

**UNTIL NEXT TIME, END RP** (note- Kaioto, Shogun, etc., anytime you want to attack the base and begin your diversion, please do so. You have the greenlight. :)

Greetings all...

CUTEY HONEY - Actually, Cutey Honey is about a female android who was built to stop an evil named Black Panther(?), but when she won, she reverted into a lesser-known persona, forgetting who she was for several years. Then, when an evil crime lord begins to threaten the peace of the city, Honey is forced to remember who she is, and she returns to her evil-fighting ways.

Honey's gimick, BTW, was that she could transform into several different personas -- a biker, an S&M Queen, a ninja babe -- by way of a slightly risque costume change. The series is actually a modern remake of an older series from somewhere in the 60's or so.

As a side note, one of the breakaway characters in the new "Cutey Honey" is Granpa Jubei(?). His battle scene in the opening episode is one of the best comedy scenes in anime.

As for the other, "Keiko Kamen", yes all that one wears is a mask, gloves, boots and that's it. But, it can't hold a candle to a anime I saw sometime ago called "Butt Punisher Gotaman": a young Catholic girl is chosen by Buddah to wear a set of magical panties to fight against the evil Black Buddah as Butt Punisher Gotaman... They even ripped on a familiar villain from the SW universe, and the heroine's final attack leaves something that must be seen to be believed.

That's all from me for now... Maintain and Check Six!

I finally have my own computer set up and with net access so I don't have to use the comp lab any more. **does the happy dance** It's funny, only one of my roommates has a computer but everyone wants to use hers and not mine, probably because they know I always put my feet on the keyboard >: P Oh well, roomies are demanding the phone lines, gotta go!

I have been trying to get it set up on my system (my sis lives in Florida and wants us to chat together using it) but Mr disconnet is being extremly obnoctious about cutting me off everytime I just about get things working---only it's not giving me the little window allowing me to choose NOT to disconnect-instead it keeps booting me out.

**defixates for a moment**

Jewel: If it were only so easy. Unfortunately, it isn't. Those pinheads at that school of music stripped me of what up until that point had been the one thing I kept most precious ... my love of music. It died the day that I had to sit through a master class where *four* different people played *four* different interpretations of "Improvisation 1," all four of which sounded completely different, and were judged against *each other.* Its grave was pissed on when that son-of-a-whore saxophone professor told me that my most recent jury performance had resulted in my ... DEMOTION ... in the school from a full-fledged student to a provisional. About that time was when I went "F**k this s**t" and quit the School of Music. So it's not that simple, my friend. It's not that I can't. It's that I no longer *want* to. And for that, I have those music-Nazi bastards to thank. So thank you very much, MSU music faculty!!

Coyote the Bando: I hear you. I started out at Bryn Mawr as a music major. After two years, I quit. I had a big fallign out with the history department--if you weren't a composer or a piano student, they didn't give a rat's ass over at Haverford (the music major is at Haverford college, Bryn mawr's "brother" school). I got sick of the fact that they only cared about modern atonal music, treating as if it was god's gift to music. Treating me as if just because I was a singer, I knew nothing. As if because I couldn't play piano and hated to compose, I was a non-musical hack...nevermind I've played violin for seven years and have a three octave range, and am a coloratura mezzo-soprano, which is hard as hell to find. And because my voice was too distintcive--but not in the half-assed light little voices the head ofthe vocal derpartment liked--I never got to sing any solos or be in their precious Chamber Singers--never mind my voice is so god that I've had people tell me I should go professional, I once managed to silence a crowded MARTA station by singing "Batti, batti," and my voice teacher wanted me to audition for the Met.
If you want to be a music teacher, do it. College may suck, but, hard as this is for me to say, find a new school and go back. It's only a few years--and beleive me, I know how hard it is--I almost dropped out of school last year. Just remember: they may shovel it out, but in the end, you have the degree, and they can never take it away from you. Never.

**enters the room, switching out the candle and sitting back down in the lawn chair, leaning back. Suddenly, the chair collapses out from under him ... a mometary distraction, as he re-sets the back of the chair and sits back down**

**sigh** Was off today ... took the time to do a little bit of soul-searching ...

**WARNING!! RANT AHEAD!!**
Everyone ... and I mean everyone I know ... has asked me when (and if) I plan on going back to college. And most of them assume that if I do choose to go back, I'll go back to music. Well, being alone to ponder my thoughts has brought me to a realization.
I've realized what's happened to me in college. The kind of hell I put myself through to get a little flimsy piece of parchment which tells me what I already know (that I can teach music).
I don't want to do that anymore.
Every single damned thing I did was *never* good enough for those pompous bastards at that school of music! They basically told me that I would *never* be good enough to be a teacher. I took a student, and he progressed well under my tutelage.
They didn't give a rat's ass. I'm a DAMN good musician. I had a heart and soul for the art of the thing. Big whoop, as far as they're concerned if I can't perform a piece of music that requires me to shove half my horn up my left nostril while hopping on one leg grabbing my crotch, I'll never be a teacher.
**tries to hold back frustrated, long-pent-up tears, fails**
I'll never forgive them for that. Never. While I sit here, the long-since-failed student of music, they continue on their path of pomposity, shattering the dreams of musicians like me, who have the gift to teach but if they have anything to say about it will never have a single student. And now while I sit here mired in long-past-due student loan payback bills, working 45 hours a week at a $7.25/hr job and forcibly separated from the love of my life, those bastards are getting professional salaries.
There *is* no justice in this world, if hacks like that can be paid to shatter dreams like mine.
**puts head in hands and cries for a long time, before continuing**
**END RANT!!**

I apologize for that little diatribe. It's been weighing on me for ages, and I needed to lay that on someone ... normally that would have gone privately to Ravyn, as she was always willing to help me vent and cheer me up afterwards, but right now ...

Wilek: While I've never seen it, I *have* heard of Pink Flamingos. Sick, sick, sick movie. But Jon Waters is a *piker* compared to the sicko who wrote "Twin Dolls."

JackaL: Nice to see ye.

Warpmind: Internationally Reknowned Screwball? Yeah, I think Sarge qualifies. :)

Sarge: Another great Top Ten list.

Deuce: Good to hear about your reconciliation. Hope to meet the madman soon. :)

Aaron, re: "Face-hugger, I choose you!": ROTFLMSAO!!

Mara: Ahh, welcome to our den of insanity, mein freund. Feel free to bring Joel and the 'bots by, and hope to see ya around.
Oh, and that ficbit sounds like it's gonna make a sweet story. One problem, though ... are you, Demmie and Angela going to re-MST "The Beautiful People?"

Ironwolf: When I first saw "American Pop," I explained when I raved about it why I liked it so much. It deals with the 20th century music that I never got to study in college ... the popular stuff. All we wound up studying as far as 20th century went was this bizarre bullcrap music that defied definition. I don't like it so much for the animation but more for the story.

Heather: First job, huh? Good luck, and don't lose yer head ... it's easy to do in the working world.

Dark Water> Yep another devoted fan here. Actually before i got involved with gargoyle fanfiction, I was thinking of novelizing the episodes so far andwriting a conclusion to them. This was one of the few stories that made me think about background story for characters. Like how did Ioz and Bloth know each other. And who built the Maelstrom?

I'm guessin the reason why there were few to none Tula fiures is for the same reason GI Joe suffered a fifty to one boy girl ratio. Having female action figures blurs that line some marketing whiz set up between action figures and dolls.

I am also shocked that Starblazer was never mentioned (I thought I saw battle of the planets mentioned) or Speed racer. As for Anime no one mentioned vampire hunter d or the Captian Harlock series or space train 99 or dang now I feel old. :p
Conventions a friend is trying to talk me into going to one this October. All anime. She is going in costome as one of the slayers. I won’t be posting much lots of overtime and I moving into my new place so this months gonna be slow posty for me.

Hi all

*people faint, the world trembles, omigod Mara found out about this Comment Room... run for the hills.. the hills!!!!

ahem...

SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION!!!!!!!!!!!!

Imagine::

You are members of a panel created by the Ilumiati Society for one purpose, to unbiasely judge Dominique Destine, for her involement in the Hunter's Moon fiasco. You listen to both sides of testemony as teh trial goes on for days on end.

Finallly, tired, cranky and pissed off at the lack of news coverage you get for this.. you reach a verdict.

GUILTY!!!!! GUILTY!!!!! HANG THE TART!!!!!

The judge (Puck in disguise) boredly points out that she's immortal to begin with, so you deliberate for a new sentance...

yes... it's horrible.. it's lewd... it's unspeakable...

Demona must read the entire Brooklyn and Matt Saga!!!

The Judge asks if Demona has any special requests before being taken out for punishment.

You are at the edge of your seat waiting to hear that lovely but evil gargess speak.

"yes, I have one request. That I shall not be alone for this... this... " She breaks into a fit of crying. A stab of pity hits you right in the heart. Evil or not.. it's hard to see such a babe cry...


The judge takes pity on her. "Pick two companions."

Demona stops sniffling. "My beloved daughter Angela and.." She suddenly grows vengefully angry and looks up at the celing. "That bitch whose writing this!!!"

"Done"

And out from the sky falls the author of this series, me.

Demona wrinkles her nose distastefully. "Eeeew, but she's *human*."

The judge grins and a magical bubble appears around Mara, turning her into a gargoyle. Her skin turns to a celestial blue, and her hair dulls to a coppery-brown, mocking Demona's own coloring. Among all the other gargoyle features are her browridges which are V-shaped, and a long tail that ends in a spade.

"Oh man, this sucks!!!!" Mara wails...

and then... our story truly begins...

Yep, today is the birthday of the Virgin Mary, so have soem cake, enjoy the party and pray a decade or too, if you feel like it :)

So just for Mary, a little prayer.

Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards us, and after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!
Pray for us, O holy Mother of God,
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ

I hope everyone likes it and no one disliked it :)

Robby, Jenna, Wilek, Xanthar, and Doug> Thanks. I'm gald my school has a career and counseling center.

Mary> I take it Bahemut had a change of heart. I hope you two have fun, but not too much fun ;)

SJ> Well, you could check out the League's site to see their side. I imagien you'll agree with them on a lot of issues, outside those two movies, like on Nothing Sacred and Corpus Christi.

Mandi> My sister told me. I was a little surprised too. She of course refuses to beleive that Adrian Paul is gay.

Princess Estra> Well, if you're looking for rolemodels, there is a Congresswomen named Tammy Baldwin in Wisconsin who seems very reasonable form when I've seen her on C-Span, though her voting record is a tad too Liberal for my tastes

Aaron staggers in, looking a little worse for wear. It took me thirty minutes to find a parking spot for class this morning. I was thinking about just pulling the car over the curb and onto the grass for a while there.

Anyway, I did have a really evil thought today during Macroeconomics today.

Aaron waves his hand. Ash and friends appear on the other side of the CR. Aaron reaches under his coat and pulls out a grey and black pokeball. Aaron tries to spin it on his finger, fails, shrugs and tosses it toward the heroes.

Face-hugger, I choose you!

(Hehhehheh. And we all know what those evolve into, don't we?)

Slightly off subject, does anyone know if they make plushie versions of Nine-tails, and if so, where can I get one? I know they're not exactly in line with my others, but the prospect of finding a stuffed Kitsune is appealing. (The prospect of finding a *real* Kitsune is more appealing, but sadly, unlikely)

Shogun> If I recall, Cutie Honey wears a mask... and nothing else. Or are they one and the same?

nightwalker> Yeah, freshmen gym always sucks. Since I can't catch, I alway ended up as a lineman. That means I get to put all 120 lbs of me between the quarterback and the guy who looks like O.J. circa Roots and the 27-year old senior who's got a cig hanging out of his mouth and a beer in his back pocket. Not fun.

Xanathar> The Pheonix kicked major @$$! How did the show end? I remember that the mysterious cities were really alien craft, but when I tell people this, they look at me like I'm crazy(er).

Later.

Aaron wanders off, whistling "The Nightinggale" from Twin Peaks.

** Deuce walks in, rubbing his ribs. **

It IS good to be back.... My apologies for the pun that ended my last post; I was composing a letter to Catherine as well, and being in the giddy good mood she usually puts me in, I couldn't resist.

Sanity: **pulls out a huge vaccuum cleaner that feeds into a multi-faceted, gem-like jar. He flicks the switch.** Ah-hahahahaha!! OK, anyone who's never met me, I now have your sanity. I will keep it well. **he opens a portal with a flick of his wrist and tosses the jar somewhere**

Robby> You LOST TRACK OF IT? Oy! You're too kind. :-)

Fleur> Thanks for the hug.... Oh, you posted as me. That must be some battle. o_O

Anyway, I have some fantastically good news, the news that actually prompted me to return a few weeks early. You've all heard of the former best friend with the very SJ-like attitude; the one who dumped me over a hideous rumour with the flame mail from hell.... I ran into him about a week ago, and we've made amends... I shall bring him to the room shortly. Him being born without sanity, I don't have to worry about taking any from him. :-) I tried to get him addicted to Gargoyles, but it never worked. If at first you don't succeed....

And I've started school (last Monday). Fun? No. This semester is tough. I have friends in most of my classes, so that shouldn't be too bad, and I have a seriously bitchin' second semester to look forward to (Chemistry 20, English 20, Drama 20, Band 20W, and a spare). o_O I'm trying to make it to February.

Oh, oh, oh! Movie news! I don't remember if I said this before, but it bears repeating:

We all know this is likely to be the last season of The X-Files. (mope) But it is CONFIRMED that the next XF movie will come out in Summer 2001, tentatively titled "The X-Files: Invasion". Now, any guesses as to the plot of the movie...?

**looks up at his post** Well, this is getting to be quite a novel. Toodle-oo!

Warpmind--Internationally Renowned Screwball (IRS)? Now I've heard everything! Still the position does seem interesting. Unfortunetly I'm not good at thinking up jokes or 'screwball' comments on the dot. It takes me twelve minuets to write a top ten.

Everyone else- Geez, thanks for the comments about the top tens. I'll make more as long as everyone enjoys them....excuse me for a second....

::takes a large machette and blasts an annoying fly away::

okay where was I? Oh yes Top tens. I better write one down.

Top ten....oh god I can't think of one......
Top ten...top ten.....top ten..................hmmm.......top ten things that you do that make you realize your a garg fan.

10: You begin arguing with the tour guide that there IS an eerie building in New York. AND THERE IS!
9: You read every fan-fic story in the archive all at once.
8: You start believeing that your english teacher is purposely changing the story of Oberon, MacBeth, and Arthur when you REALLY know what happened.
7: You ask if Elisa and Goliath has shown up on Star Trek yet.
6: You buy cans of Gargoyle shaped pasta and pretend that they are real. Then you realize your 25 and playing with pasta.
5: You try yelling spell incantations at your boss. REALLY REALLY LOUD!
4: You go trick or treatin' in a gargoyle costumne.....it's may and your 25....
3: You try combining your Iguana with a cat thinking you'd be able to make your own mutate. (Just add water!)
2: You somehow actually manage to clone yourself. Then you realize you've been staring at a mirror for over an hour.
1: " Ah yes Mr. President. Our boy Henery here is a top student at harvard. We hold high respects for him."
" Is he wearing a loin cloth?" Bill asked.
" Oh dear god."


He He. I'm going to have to think of top tens ahead of times, I'm losing my touch!

Everybody about Ellen: THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR INFORMING ME. for crying out loud...! i didn't realize i'd provoke such a response! i didn't realize so many people read into TV!!! i, personally, am just a teenager who doesn't have a lot of "real" romodels. and Ellen's cool because she doesn't just play a lesbian on TV. you can't imagine... well, maybe you can. how many homosexuals in the room? *watches for hands* like even *i* would raise my hand to something like that.

*sniffle*

Robby: you can by subbed SM tapes at certain websites... e-mail me and i could probably get you the links. however, you won't be able to get the first season or most of the second season. DiC owns the rights and won't let anybody see what they're missing (unless you have a friend who's had their tapes since forever and is more than happy to make copies)

well, i'm being kicked off the computer. it's not fair. my parents can't even begin to understand how alienated i am by my peers! most of the true friends i have i only get to see online! garg.

Long day. Short post
Picture to honor a returned friend.

Item 1 - Freelance episode 4 - maybe I'll have time to work on it this week. I may end up re-writing a bunch of it. The character of Gizmo has evolved in my mind, so I may have to re-do all of his scenes.
I am deeply flattered that people care enough to ask me to hurry and finish it.

Item 2 - I'm moving in two weeks ( and 3 days.) I'm not going very far, just to the slightly nicer, much quieter part of town away from the UTA campus. The really annoying thing is, my move in date is the same night as a Blarney Brothers' concert, and I already asked someone to go with me. This is going to be a busy day.

Item 3 - Deuce, as others have said, welcome back. I hope this day finds you well.

Short RP
After a day of walking in the hot blistering desert , Night walker was begining to lose hope of ever finding a way to catch up to these warriors . "The battle is going on without us' Night walker said , not really saying it to anyone , mostly because Julius was again asleep . Then , just as he was about to give up , night walker saw what he thought was yet another mirage . A mirage that looked like a small spacecraft. But the closer he got to it the more real it became. "Oh my god" he shouted [loud enough so that he wakes Julius up]."I wonder why anybody would leave this here". "Their loss is our gain" said Julius [saying this surprized night walker who forgot that he wasn't alone]. Night walker opened the door and stepped into the very small craft. As he closed the door , Julius flapped of off his shoulder and perched on the handle opposite night walker. Night walker entered Dark Star two into the computer . A course showed up on the screen . "That's where we're going " He said and looked at his companion who again started to nap. Night walker rolled his as he went of to join his the battle.
END RP

Well I guess I'm warming up to it , but I'm still a bit off, I'll get better at it.

Bronx-Sorry but I waited for a reply from you , I wrote you out of this, but if you reply to this I'll write you back in or you could write me in yours after the battle , you'd probaly do a better job of it anyway. I'm still going to join your RP after the cyber smurf battle, I just need to know what the plot is .

School- It's still the same , I actually have like three good friends there, none of them have the same lunch as me though so I'm still sitting by myself .

P.E.-not the hell I always thought it would be, probaly because the freshmen don't have to take showers. But today was an exeption . We were playing this passing game [this really dumb game called ultimate football, all we do is pass the ball to each other on our teams ] and I never got the ball. Out of an hour and ten minutes nobody on my team found it nessesary to pass the ball to me . Not that I'm any good , but I was open the whole time . I did get the ball passed to me twice today though, both times were when someone from the other team accidently passed it to me. How embarassing.

Sarge-Really funny top ten. That probaly really does happen from time to time.It would probaly take me a month to write something that funny, or at least until i find a good sense of humor anybody got any extra .

Well gatta go , my eylids are gettin' heavy .

Greetings all...

PIRATES OF DARK WATER - I love the cross-talk about PODW! But I have to admit I think Ioz was more in love with gold than with Tula. She and Ren seemed more attracted to each other than she to Ioz.

I really wish they had finished the series, but they had some great eps. Like the one where Bloth and Ren were forced to work together to survive a death-trap game run by two betting amphibians, and the ones where they dealt with the slave trader Jargis on Pandowa, the island of the Monkey-Birds.

DARK AGES & TGS - We are working hard to get this done. Be patient, as we will annouce the release date soon.

Maintain and Check Six!

P.S. - Did anyone catch the ABC Original Movie last night called "ATF"? A very familiar garg-actor was staring in it... that's right! None other than Keith David!

Coyote> <<Well, I can't think of many better refs to make than to H.R. Giger.>> So true. What makes this so eerie is something the real H. R. Giger stated regarding why he does his delightfully disturbing art--he does it because it frightens him. Basically to get it out of his head. Hm... Interesting bit--he was commissioned to design the Batmobile for Batman Forever. Time constraints made it impossible to finish on time for the movie, but Giger finished his design anyhow. There are pictures at www.giger.com. <<incidentally, if you need a translation, "kekko" is "rabbit.">> Really? Interesting...I always thought that was 'usagi'. ^_^ <<The blurb on the back of the box says it's GUARANTEED to offend *everybody* one way or another.>> Money back? :P Athough it can't be as bad as a live action film I've heard about called Pink Flamingo.

RP- I meant to do this last post, but hit submit too soon. Oh well...

**RP HERE: THE CYBER SMURF SAGA**

The Black Tiger watches as Sevarius Junior and Tuxedo Dole fight Ratatats, and he proceeds to attack them himself.
He delivers a high roundhouse kick to one's head that knocks it back. But the beast is immediatley upon him again, and the Black Tiger is slammed into the floor. He pushes the vile creature off, and notices with relief his armor is undamaged. Knowing full well that this could get bad in a hurry, the Black Tiger powers up his armored gauntlets, and they let loose an energy blast into the Ratatat. At which point it grows.
"Oh shoot, these things are class 5! Energy absorbing! Whatever you do, don't use energy attacks on these things!"
The Ratatat has finished its mutation, it now walks on its hind legs, and leaps again at the Black Tiger, and proceeds to slam a mutated fist into his chest, knocking him back. The Black Tiger counters by getting back up and charging an elbow into to the creature, and then knocking it against a wall. Powering up his gauntlets to a higher power level, the Black Tiger fires a disintegrating blast, and fills the mutant Ratatat with more energy than it can hold, causing it to explode.
"Next..." Though immpossible to see under the Black Tiger's mask, it is quite likely he is smiling...

But if you *truly* want a sick comedy/action anime ... and believe me, this 'un's so sick I'm embarrassed to admit that I've seen it ... you want one called "Twin Dolls." How sick, you ask? The blurb on the back of the box says it's GUARANTEED to offend *everybody* one way or another.

***BEGIN RP****
One of the mutated ratatats lunged at SJ, but the young scientist thrust his fist foreward, hoping to land a blow on the evil
rodent. Much to his surprise, however, instead of a regular punch, a bolt of energy arced from his fist, slamming into the
mutant Pokemon and knocking it backwards. The creature was momentarily stunned.
SJ looked at his fist. "What the.....did I just do that?"
"Yep," Kari said."Like I said, you may be able to manipulate some energy."
SJ smiled. "Ooooh, I think I'm gonna like this!"
****PAUSE RP****

DEUCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! **SJ grabs Deuce in a big bear hug, strong enough to bruise ribs** Finally!!! After a couple
of lonesome months deprived of your company, we now have the one and only Deuce back again!!! It's good to see you
back, buddy. Hopefully you'll be here to stay. :)
Now if we can just get that one other person back in here, we shall be complete again... (don't worry big guy, she'll come
back! :)

Deuce, again: I gotta agree about Natalie Portman. She was by far the best thing in the Star Wars (although it was tough
seeing that kid fawn over her. "Are you an angel?" Puhlease). She's a major hottie, and my second favorite actress (I'm
afraid the lovely Gwyneth takes top spot...) She's one of the only things I'm looking forward to seeing in the other two Star
Wars movies.

Summer Movies: Well, the summer movie season has ended. Thank God. IMO, there really wasn't much of anything worth
watching this summer. Same old Hollywood fare--boring and overbudgeted. I can only really think of two movies that I
actually really enjoyed this summer (South Park and BWP). The rest I shall attempt to purge from my memory....hopefully,
this fall will be a little better. We've got Princess Mononoke, and Sleepy Hollow, and Dogma coming, and Stigmata looks
interesting....

Speaking of Dogma, the trailer for this "controversial" film is now online. You can view it at www.newsaskew.com, which is
part of Kevin Smith's homepage. I viewed it this evening, and after seeing the trailer, I have absolutely no idea why the
Catholic League is against this film. Of course, some of the humor was edited out (for instance, they could only just show the
barest glimpses of the Golgothan Sh!t Demon....no, that was not a typo), but it's not an attack on the Catholic church.
Anyway, click on my name if you want to go to the site and check out the movie. Earlier I couldn't get the Real Video files to
work, but I do know the Quicktime movie works. It's 11 megs, though, so if you have to download it, you'd better have a
while to wait.

***RESUME RP****
The cybernetic smurf laughed cruelly. "You fools always amuse me. You think that a little energy is going to defeat me?"
SJ braced himself. He put his hands together, coupling them. His fists began to glow brightly as he created another bolt of
energy to discharge at his foes. As anothe ratatat attacked, the young hero let loose with his fire....

speaking of parodies, there was a japanese one called Kekko kamen (kekko mask) about this ninja girl who wore a cowl, cape, boots, gloves, scarf and nothing else as her costume, yes, it was quite twisted, and made ranma 1/2 seem prudish by comparison, speaking of anime, two other great ones in the sick humor/action category were master of mosquiton and dragon half

**enters the room, switching out the candles but noticing that one is gone. Turns and sees the greeting given to the returning hero Deuce, comes over to give his own welcome, then goes over to sit in the lawn chair.**

Welcome back, Deuce. The room hasn't been the same since ye left. Now we only need one more return for me to be truly happy ... **sighs shakily, fixes gaze upon the candle again, then continues**

SJ, re: Ellen: Thanks for backing me up. Same to you, Deuce and GB.

Skippy: Welcome back. And I think I know a few folks who'd be interested in that slightly-used Klingon forehead.

Wilek, re: Hergard Giger: Hmm ... pop-culture referencing in "Mage," huh? Well, I can't think of many better refs to make than to H.R. Giger. :)

Puckster and pink Baby Baby-K: Welcome to the room. Now that the official sanity collector has returned ... please allow Deuce to claim your sanity from ye.

**sits back in the lawn chair, fixating fully on the candle's flame**

One candle down ... one to go. Come on, Ravyn, come back to us ...

Hi ya'll, boy does it ever take along time to catch up on this room when you miss a few days. Esp. when you find something really funny and end up spitting water all over your key board-then have to stop and clean it up.

Hope everyone weekend was good, I did a book weekend and sort of lost myself in them. Found a great book by a new author with a wonderful twist on dragons (The Last Dragon Lord by Joanne Bertin) I give it an 8 out of 10.

Wilek>> I love that song "I Am The Very Model Of A Modern Major General" what kind of filk do you want to do? Gears are already turning EM me

My top five shows>>
1)La Femme Nikita
2)Babylon 5
3)Farscape
4)Crusade
5)Highlander

Okay here's some fun, a freind sent me a list of qoutes for those who take life too seriously.....

>How many of you believe in telekinesis? Raise my hand.
>Love may be blind but marriage is a real eye-opener.
>If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving isn't for you.

Tattooed Teenage whatchmacalits: I saw an Entertainment Tonight clip on that show (must have been a real slow news day for them...)

Just from that clip it was obvious the show had the production values just above your average cable access program. In a certain sense it reminded me of that old Sid & Marty Kroft series Electro-Woman and Dyna Girl (Am I showing my age or what? :)

**RP HERE**

Hale and his forces step back from Shap and Shauna as Green Baron and Atilla the Hun teleport in, both thankful for the assistance. They retreat through a nearby door as Green Baron pronounces Hale's sentence, dismayed when they find it leads to nothing but a janitor's closet. "Alright, buddy," the Baron chuckles as Atilla advances on the WCOC leader. "You gonna beg for mercy or what?" Hale gets a very angry look on his face. "Some of you get them!" he shouts at his minions. "The rest of you, don't let the darkies escape!" About half the WCOC forces in the arena take the cue to attack GB and Atilla, while the rest rush towards the janitor's closet Shap and Shauna have backed themselves into. The four Nazis are in the lead of the latter bunch. Shap and Shauna each take up a defensive position on either side of the closet doorway, the former uttering a quick prayer while the latter shakes her head slowly. Then the evil FE people charge, and they are forced to begin their latest fight.

The display changes to outside the base, where Agent Janice Ripowski and her party are just coming to a stop. "You and I shall go alone from here, Mr. Miller," she tells Tom. "We'll free your friends and get them ready to leave. The rest of you give us twenty minutes. Then create a diversion by attacking the base." "Got it," nods Shogun Raptor. "Uh, it is okay to kill the base personnel, right?" "Yes," Janice replies. "They are all part of Kincaid's faction. There are also some strange religious people here, I think they're also allied with Thailog. So they are all fair game." "We shall handle them," Kaioto promises. "May you return victorious." Janice and Tom nod in agreement with the hope, and then Janice drives on towards the base gate. "Go right in, Agent Ripowski and friend," the inept guard waves them onward after looking at her pass. "You really think we can pull this off?" Tom asks as they head for the main compound. "I don't know," Janice confesses. "I hope so."

**CAN THEY? YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT TILL THE POST'S END TO FIND OUT! (END RP FIRST HALF)**

Greetings. Well, as you all should know by now, I've got a new story posted. About time, too. :) Like I say in the afterword to it, it will be the only new story for a while. I'm feeling burnt out and need a short break. But don't despair. School and other stuff allowing, I will pick up the saga again soon. <crosses fingers> In the meantime, I hope you wil all continue to send me feedback. Nothing makes a writer feel better than the knowledge that somebody has read his work and feels strongly enough about it to make comments. :) On with replies.

Top Five Favorite Animated Shows.
1. Simpsons. 2. Gargoyles (only second because we haven't had new episodes in a while). 3. Batman Beyond. 4. Pokemon. 5. Draw between Pinky and the Brain, Looney Tunes, and Johnny Bravo. The last show has especially grown on me recently. :)

David G: Thanks for the Glory character info. I look forward to continuing to watch her develop. Hope you get a new Freelance story out very soon.

Sarge: Thanks for the excellent mutate and Xanatos humor, and welcome back!

Shogun Raptor: Thanks for refreshing my memories about COPS and Silver Hawks. I remember the former's crazy doctor now (he had a giant super-powerful robot too, IIRC). I also recall YesMan from Silverhawks (that's who I was forgetting), Melodia, Moleculad, and Bluegrass. The magician too, though I'm not sure his name was Hocus Pocus. Never saw an episode with Condor or Moonstriker, so I don't recall them. But if you remember them, I'm sure they were around. :)

Firestorm: Actually, Copper Kid was more like Claw. Same color, good fighter, didn't say much. That's if I recall him correctly (and it has been quite a long time since I've seen the show).

Mary: Congrats to you and Bahemut. May you both enjoy a long and happy time together. :)

Deuce: Welcome back, man. Glad you've decided to return to us, we really missed you. Keep hanging around and you'll probably find out how much. <grin>

Green Baron: Welcome back to you too. Sorry about your unemployment.

Welcome back to Peter also! And Skippy! And everyone else who has returned.

Kevin Spacey: I too am a huge fan of him. Kit and I have seen both Hurlyburly and Swimming With Sharks. Liked Spacey's role in both of them. In fact, he was the only thing that made the latter film palatable, IMO. I look forward to seeing him in American Beauty next month. All I know about it is it stars him and Anette Benning as a typical suburban couple having problems, and despite that is supposed to be excellent (maybe the problems get solved in an interesting way). Hope it lives up to the hype.

SJ: Thanks for the LOTR info. I too am glad to hear John Rhys-Davies has been cast as Gimli. The films should be great, hope they come out before too long.

Pirates of Dark Water: I remember that show too, it was neat. I was really sorry to see it end so prematurely. Always liked Mantis and Niddler the most out of all the characters, but Ren, Ioz, Bloth, and Tula (who they should have made an action figure of if they wanted to sell more products) were also neat.

I too am wondering when the next season of Dark Ages will start. Hope it's soon. I'll sign off now, as that's all I had to say. Bye.

**RP AGAIN**

The Ravens are sitting idly in their cells, going over escape plans and discarding each when they find weaknesses in it. Several of them have already become bored and fallen asleep. They quickly awaken as the hallway's door comes open. "Guys!" Tom shouts, and they all turn towards him. "Tom!" Doug smiles. "You found us!" He nods. "I had some help." He walks in with Janice behind him. "Agent Ripowski," Kitainia recognizes the latter. "I thought you were with Kincaid." "Not any more," the FBI liasion replies, then quickly tells them what she found out about Kincaid and Thailog. "Kincaid already told us most of that a while ago," Doug says after she's finished. "He was planning to execute us." Tom nods. "And we're here to get you out. Come on." Janice produces a key and unlocks their cells. The Ravens rush out to stand beside her. "Where are our weapons?" Jammer asks. "I want to kick some butt!" For once Janice smiles. "They're in a room a short distance away." The Ravens smile and rush to follow her and Tom down the hall.

Unfortunately, their passage is noted by a security camera. The guard manning its monitor (who's a lot better at his job than the guy at the base entrance was) immediately calls Kincaid. "The prisoners have escaped, sir!" he shouts. "Ripowski let them out! She's aiding them!" "Damn it!" Kincaid growls angrily. "I knew I shouldn't have trusted her!" He turns to the three agents in his office. "You, Morton, sound the alarm! Hardy, go find Pastor John and let him know what's happened! Find out if the two his friends were playing with also escaped. And Shaw, you find.." Agent Shaw's body twitches suddenly, her features becoming those of the super-powerful humanoid alien Agent Tau. "You were about to call me, sir?" he asks. The slightly unnerved Kincaid nods. "Go find the Ravens. Stop them. Don't let them get out of the dungeon." Tau smiles. "You don't have to worry, sir." He leaves Shaw's body and her features return to normal as the screen picture fades.

AUGH!!!! I'M WAY late for the TOP TEN! Man, I've got to get here sooner and not pay attention to my b-days! All well I had a fun time. I went to the fair and won two fish. Both of which I named Magikarp and Goldeen......and both died....I also got a small statue of a dragon and a crystal globe with a gargie in it.

RP-- I've always been interested in Role Playing. I've role-played for many years on the AOL chat rooms and the TelNet applications. But now-a-days all the gargs have left the AOL (not all but most) and RPing is becoming a bore there...and I hate it. So I've been TRYING to understand the RPing in this room and seem to like it since it looks as though it's based on the author's writing abilities and not the dialouge alone. I'm trying to understand what's happening and all, but I don't know if I need to sign up or do something. Can someone help me?

Top Ten-- I'm going to do another top ten. Everyone seems to like them and I like making people laugh. This one will have to be made up on the spot...so how about....top ten sayings Xanatoos will always regret

10. " My Wife isn't hard to handle, usually you give her chocolate and she shuts up" (WAP WAP!)
9. " My dear...your face isn't ugly...why your as beautiful as a stone gargoyle..." (WAP!)
8. " No this girrtle isn't for Broadway dear...it's for you..." (WAP!)
7. " Dear hear....I want you to have these..." David smiled as he handed the tickets to her.
" Oh! Tickets to Paris How wonderful! I'm sorry I've been testy lately....but where's your ticket?"
" Oh, I'm not going. The mayor's coming and with you in this mood I thought it be better to send you of and avoid as little trouble as possible" (WAP!)
6. " Oh! Mr. Mayor... I see your mistaken about my wife! Their not really real..." (WAP! OOF! OUCH!)
5. " Oh no thanks Braodway. Fox has to eat less. Last night she seemed a bit heavy to me." (WAP!)
4. " Honey your hips are just fine since the pregnancy. Why you'd win first prize in a cattle contest!" (I considered having David in a hospital now.)
3. " Honey please. You've just went through labor with alex. Just finish the rest of the paperwork, and clean the bathroom by 5:00..." (WAP!)
2. " Oh, Fox! May I see the wedding ring? It's a loan...."
1. Fox smiled as she looked across the bed. " Oh David, I'm sorry I hit you today. At least we've made..." she pulls back the covers and screams " AUGH! OWEN!"
" Sorry Mrs. Xanatoos. David had a meeting and asked me to take his place. Fortunetly he left five minuets after you two were done or otherwise....." (I can't explain what happened next. It's too disturbing.....)

People liked the "Fox waping David" thing so I decided to do a top ten of that...:P

Just a few more hours until I get my copy of Sonic the Hedgehog: The Anime Movie.. YES!

The new TGS season- It's not ready yet, okay? We're working on it, and several stories are already finished. It'll be here soon, honest, now please stop asking about it.
If I were to give a rough estimate of a release date I'd say before the middle of October, but don't quote me on that.

Pirated of Dark Water- The series ended with them finding the 8th treasure and discovering it was a living creature. The series had no real ending, because it was cut two seasons short of its master plan.

Deuce- Welcome back man, its about time... Maybe now you can update the CR archives...

Aaron- A copy of the anime laws is on your way. I've come up with a couple more, but I haven't updated the list in a while.

And Bad Guys GD style? That's a fun idea actually...

Nightwalker- DOn't worry about this Smurf RP ending anytime soon... It'll likely go a while yet. heck, the ratatats alone should take most of the week to fight...

Green Baron- Here's hoping ya get a new, good job soon!

**As SJ and the smurf square off against each other, with the smurf's henchmen, Tuxedo Bob Dole enters the room.

"Now to even the odds, Bobdole style." Bob puts a viagra tablet in the battery compartmnet of the laser pen, making the pen grow longer and thicker. He presses a button and a red beam like that of a light saber comes out, and Tuxedo Bob Dole is ready to fight an approaching Ratatat. He swings and cuts the ratatat in half, but more come in, ready to fight.**
END RP First half

Hello all. I am now unemployed again, but I will be looking for something. Let's hope I get something soon.

Top Ten Animated shows>

1) Gargoyles
2) Batman Beyond
3) Futurama
4) Dangermouse
5) Count Duckula
6) Ren & Stimpy
7) South Park
8) Batman: TAS
9) Johnny Bravo
10) King of the Hill

Top Ten Live Action and talk shows
1) Hardball
2) All in the Family
3) Maude
4) Father Dowling Mysteries
5) Rivera Live (especially episodes with Ann Coulter)
6) F-Troop (I wish I could see it again)
7) Sanford & Son
8) In Living Color
9) Soap
10) Highlander

Deuce> Welcomre back, old friend

Adrienne> That's good to know, ::hugs back::

Ellen> I found Billy Crystal's character on Soap much funnier, especially the way it plays into the show. Of course, Jodie turns out to be bi, and so is Billy Crystal.

Mary F.> I hope you and Bahemut have a lot of fun together. I recall in teh S8 chatroom he was upset about a recent rejection. It's good to see him in a better spirit.

Jaden> I also like Touched By an Angel. There was one episode where Peter Scolari played a dorky estate lawyer who wore a bowtie with his suit. Of course, he's not that Vogel-like, but more wimpy, but I wonder if playing Vogel was a reason for him to try that role.

RESUME RP in different area!!
**As Hale plots Shauna's death, two figures appear out of nowhere, one with a green robe and teh other is Attila the Hun who hasn't been returned to the ancient world. The robed figure points to Hale
"You have been accused of heresy, by distorting God's message, and for interpreting the bible in an improper manner. What is yoru defense?"
"I was thinking for myself, like I was always taught to do."
"I doubt you'll sway God with that answer, and you'll be judged by Him soon enough. For your crimes, I find you guilty of heresy and you will be chopped to pieces by Attila the Hun, a man who united people instead of dividing them. Repent now and you will just have a few centuries in Purguatory."
The Inquisitor pulls off his hood, revealing himself to be the Green Baron, and the original Attila raises his axe with a sadistic glee.

Outskirts of San Francisco
Marshall Applewhite is coming out fo a drug inducing daze and remembers a hooded figure on TV. As the figure comes to his mind, he asks, "Master? Take the Gate I to Dark Star II before pouring our Kool Aid into the World's Resvoir systems?"**

DEUCE IS BACK! (A. Powers voice) Yeah, baby!

Got three and a half days of posts to catch up on, so this may take a while.

Robby> I wanna see this list of anime laws. Also, I wanna share one of the twisted thoughts I had over the weekend: Bad Guys GD style. Dog Supreme, Montara, Diashi, and Dark Boid.

Xanathar> I remember Mysterious Cities of Gold. Ahh, nostalgic memories of Nick showing something worth watching.

SOROW> If you like Kevin Spacey, (And who doesn't) be sure to check out American Beauty, supposed to be released next month. Not sure exactly what it's about, but anything where Kevin says "I quit my job today. And then I blackmailed my boss out of sixty thousand dollars." is worth checking out.

Doug> Not to nitpick, but it was Wind*jammer* and he had a big tuning fork.

SJ>Yes, Mononoke Hime is beautiful, and seeing it on a big screen would be really cool, but I still say dubbing it is heretical. It's like dubbing a Kurisawa film.

Top Tens> Maybe tomorrow I'll do a list of shows that died because network execs have no brains and/or no balls.

Anti-Romantics> Hey, I'm the guy who rents slasher flicks for Valentine's Day.

*******************Review w/spoilers for Chill Factor*******

I know Doug already did one, but I'm contrary. And I thought Chill Factor was (Tim Curry voice) okay. But I think we can do better then that. I had a better time during the previews then the movie.

I'm sorry, I was rooting for the bad guy. He got screwed because the scientist blew things.

Dirty pool to the producers for putting Kevin J. O'Connor so high in the credits. His part is about like Bruce Campbell's in Congo, and nearly as short.

Plus, it always bugs me when the supposedly highly trained mercs misidentify their hardware. Peter Firth says get the M-79, and they bring back a LAW. Completely different weapons.

Very predictable. Might've worked with different casting, or a mild rewrite.

2.5/5 skulls, Aaron Bob says.. do what you want.

And..... well, I ALWAYS thought Ioz and Tula were destined for each other...there seemed to be a lot of sexual tension between the two... (or maybe there wasn't, I was kinda young at the time)......but....... did they ever get together? (I can picure it....in each others faces, screaming at each other, and suddenly.......they kiss....*sigh*) Yeah, I'm a hopeless romantic. So...could you guys please tell me what happened? Thanks!

Greetings, friends... it's good to be back. I will hold a little story-hour another time as to what I've been up to, but for now, I think I'll post some replies.

Fave shows, in no particular order:

Animated:
1. Gargoyles
2. ReBoot
3. War Planets/Shadow Raiders
4. Daria
5. Pokémon
Live:
1. Stargate SG-1
2. Martial Law
3. Boy Meets World
4. Early Edition
5. Touched By An Angel (see note to Jaden below, and yes: I'm a CBS junkie)
6. That 70's Show

Jaden re: TBAA tear-jerking> I confess, I bawled like a baby at that episode, and now that my mom has bought the soundtrack, I can... ahem... "clean my eye ducts" whenever I want. (Last track is that damned song!)

That 70's Show: I'm sorry, that show is too damn funny for words. I watch it whenever I can, and trust me... it's a rare night when I don't fall off the couch LMAO.

News for lovers of good music! GET THIRD EYE BLIND'S SELF-TITLED CD!! It is, quite possibly, the greatest piece of work I've heard in the past four years, excepting "Lemon Parade" by Tonic and "Echo" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. If anyone tries to tell you that 3EB is not good, punch them in the throat.

Ellen: "Will & Grace", in terms of gay humour, is _so_ much funnier.

Oh, yeah: I saw Star Wars a few weeks ago. NOT impressed. As I said to Robby, if they cut out all scenes w.out Natalie Portman or a lightsaber battle, the movie would not have suffered. >:-)

Anyway, I am _not_ delving into previous weeks, so I'll sign off now, to return tomorrow morning. Hey, is it just me, or is the room smaller now? I guess 'cause it's been "re-Deuced".

Hi, y'all. As of yesterday, I'm an Illuminati Political Liaison... but you don't have that clearance... so I never said it, you never heard it, ok?

As for the Timedancer filk, well, I remember it being somewhat corny, not really much else. Gotta see the original lyrics again, I guess. I might be able to make it sometime before Christmas.

Christine: Didn't you run the Inspirations challenge for this issue as well? I vividly recall sending you a 'fic for that writer's challenge. Or is that my memory cells fudging with my mind again? Oh, well, no really big deal.

Ooo, hey, just a thought: How 'bout we have a poll for the Best Debutante Fanfic Series of Autumn 1998-Summer 1999? (Which would probably enable my series to fish up a few votes, nudge, nudge, wink, wink.) At least I know I'd put a thumb on the Misbegotten Son Saga. Just a thought.

Oh, and here's a few more of those Mutate Jokes:
(Any one of the Maza family) "Happy birthday, Talon. Here's a new flea collar!"
"So, whose turn is it to change the sand?"
"Mind testing this lightbulb for me?" (Imagine who gets sent to test all the bulbs on the Christmas tree?)

Oh, well, I spot an agressive mutate, so I'd better shut my mouth. Later, guys.

****NO RP!!!!****

Geez. What a busy weekend. I didn't have time to even stop by and say "hi". Well at least it's over. I'll post an RP next time after I catch up.

Xanathar- M.A.S.K. I remember that show. I really liked it. I had two toys from that cartoon. One was a motorcycle that turned into a hellecopter and a car that turned into a submarine I think.

I have a lot of favorite shows, but I'll just do the ones off the top of my head.

1. Babylon 5
2. Farscape
3. Crusade
4. Voyager
5. Ds9
6. Highlander
7. Sliders
8. Due South (funny show)
9. Early Edition
10. Touched by an Angel- I put this one in because one of their episodes was so moving that I almost cried. A child was dying and his mother wrote a song for him and all their friends sang it to him till he died. It was a very good song. There was only one movie that ever made me cry and that was "The Fox and the Hound". I was just a kid when I first saw it, but even when I watched it a few years later I still got choked up.

See ya Later!

**RP!**

[On the Dark Star II, the team has just arrived at the arena where the battle takes place, and sees what the cybersmurf has in store for all challengers... Anoth: "What on earth are these...rodents?" Decius: "Ratatta. Pokemon #19. A level 8 plasma bolt should destroy the entire pack..." Forfexx: "It must have an impressive blast radius. What will it do to the fellow in the black and white armor?" Decius: "He is irrelevant, compared to our primary mission." Forfexx: "I'd rather not incur civilian casualties in this operation, Decius. There's another way." Anoth: "Indeed. Watch and learn." The Halfling concentrates, attempting to telepathically flood the Ratatta's minds with sensations of agony...]

Today's Labor Day, isn't it? Hm...Fascinating, to celebrate labor by avoiding it. ;)

Fire Storm> <<Gargs 3d: Well, I am working on Brooklyn right now. Got the main body, wings and tail done. Hope I can finish him this time.>> Kewl! Hope it turns out well; it would be so neat to have a 3D rendering of the clan. ^_^

Warpmind> <<if I can remember the lyrics to "Timedancer", I'll probably post it in Avalon Mists. Think we could get Diana Ross to sing it?>> You...wrote a filk in a dream? That is TOO KEWL! ^_^

Newcomers> Welcome! Cast off the shackles of sanity, and join us in the beauty of chaos! Muhahahahahahaha!

Amusing bit from Mage: The Ascension> "3 weeks after his abduction, half-mad Hergard Giger returned from his imprisonment among the Nephandi [a cabal of dark mages]...The interiors of most [Nephandi] labyrinths...are moist, pulsing caverns...Chairs of black metal and bone grow from the floor. Tapestries are woven from decaying flesh and rubber. Organic machinery pumps oily blood throughout the complex..." The thing stops just short of saying that this Hergard Giger changed his first name and retired to Switzerland. <G>

Kitainia> <<I wonder if you'll ever actually put down the lyrics for one of her songs (you're probably terrible with them and good with stories, like a lot of writers)>> I am the exact same way. For some reason, I can never think up more than one or two rhyming lines for anything, which is why I'm such an awful filkist. Which is odd because I'd probably love writing lyrics and poems if I were any good at it. (One of my dreams is to write a filk of 'I Am The Very Model Of A Modern Major General' that summarizes the major events of my ficverse for the end of my final story, like Reboot did for its season finale. But that'll never happen. For that matter, I don't think that finishing my ficverse will ever happen. <sigh>)

Spacebabie> <<OOPS the evil cousin of DC struck The-Thing-that-posts-when-the-poster-isnt-finish>> Ugh, I cannot even count how many times he's done that to me in e-mail. <grr>

Tim Phipps> <<WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THE FAN-FIC ARCHIVE!!!>> Not a clue. As well as apparently not being able to upload, it displays fics in the individual author archives multiple times. No idea what's up with that.

Robby> <<Wilek- Tatooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills? Please tell me thats just a joke like Conan O' Brian's Embryotic Rockabillie Polkadotted Fighter Pilots...>> If only it were true. This...this...*thing* is best described as Power Rangers with even more severe developmental defects. The only way this horrible apparition could have any redeeming value would be if it were a deliberate parody of Power Rangers (as has been theorized). Either way, Power Rangers was like...well, Gargoyles--compared to Tattooed Teenagers. <shudder>

Skippy> <<is there anyone out there interested in a mildly used Klingon forehead?>> If this were something other than a makeup appliance I might have a use for it...

BTW, if anyone here sent me e-mail between 7:15 AM and 3:30 PM today, Eastern time, you'll have to resend it. Apparently, my ISP's mail server was down.

Robby: Sorry to tell you this, friend, but Tatooed Teenage Fighters from Beverly Hills was a REAL show. When the teens released thier powers, they donned crappy armor and grew to about 100 feet tall.
And I thought POWER RANGERS was bad! At least the rangers had a plot!
And I TOTALLY agree with SJ on this show.

Skippy: You don't WANT to know what I did with the last Klingon forehead I got! <G>

Well everyone, after a two week withdrawl from the net (puter died on me) I'm finally back and rolling along fine once more.

This last Saturday I went out to AnimeFest, a local con here in Dallas and had one heck of a time. Once again I was the single Klingon in a mass of completly unrelated characters (this is becoming something of a theme with me-being the token Klingon at all other cons) What's funny is how many people knew Skippy, though I couldn't put a name to a face for anybody out there.

As I have been threatening earlier, I did change my makeup for this show and I thought it turned out great, the photos I saw of the makeup turned out so much better than just that headpiece I wore out at the Gathering. The wig and appliances are defintely staying... So, is there anyone out there interested in a mildly used Klingon forehead?

***BEGIN RP****
SJ picked himself up from the floor, clutching his head. "Ooooww....the little bugger can hit, that's for sure. But hey, he's still
a freakin' Smurf! How hard can it be?" He rushes his foe again.
He hits the wall. Again.
"Junior? Are you okay?" Kari asks, bending over him. "How many fingers am I holding up?" She waved her hand in front of
his face.
"I'm fine, mom," SJ said in a daze. "I just need five more minutes of sleep before I go to school...."
***PAUSE RP****

Hmmm...somewhat slow room today. TGS must be dying.

HUGE, HUGE, HEEEEEEYUGE Lord of the Rings news!!!!!
The parts of Gimli the dwarf and Legolas the Elf have now been cast! These parts are cast and confirmed! This brings the
fellowship almost to a close; the only part of the "Nine" that has not been cast so far is Boromir, and actor Sean Bean is in
talks for that. But here goes--fans of Gargoyles, you will love this!!!!

The part of Legolas goes to an actor by the name of Orlando Bloom. I don't know much about him, other than I believe that
he is British, and is essentially an unknown, at least to us blokes on this side of the Atlantic. But the real shocker is this:

GIMLI the Dwarf is........JOHN RHYS--DAVIES!!!!!! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssss!!!!!!
How freakin' cool is *that*??? Macbeth as Gimli!!!! Peter Jackson has made the absolute best casting decision of his life
here. Now, even the hounds of Hell themselves shall not keep me from seeing these movies!!!!

DBZ episodes: Um....they were supposed to start today? When? Tonight at midnight? They weren't on in the usual 5 p.m.
time slot. In fact, where was the 2 hour block of DBZ that the Cartoon Network website promised? Grrr.......I'm waiting for
my new DBZ!!!

Kevin Spacey: Any true Kev Spacey fan should watch the film "Swimming With Sharks". Kev just oozes vile contempt. In
fact, Kevin usually oozes vile contempt. I rank him up there with guys like Christopher Walken and John Malkovich as one of
those actors I never ever want to meet in a dark alley for fear of bodily dismemberment ;)

That 70's Show: I see a few folks in here like this show as well. It's a shame that the show got moved from it's primetime slot
on Sundays (in which it did pretty decently in the ratings) to make way for that godawful "Futurama" show (I'm sorry, this is
*not* the Simpsons. It's best ep., IMO, isn't even close to being as good as the *worst* episode of the Simpsons).
Hopefully it'll do better as it's moving to Tuesdays this fall. It's one of those rare teen shows where I actually think the cast has
some degree of talent, unlike the "beautiful people" witless gods of teenage angst found on such shows as "Dawson's
Creek"....although that's not to say Laura Prepon isn't beautiful. How many of you will I have to sacrifice to get a date with
*her*? ;)

Ellen Degeneres: Hey, I have nothing against lesbians. I can be rather found of them....*ahem*.....but Coyote's right, her
show ended not because she was openly gay, but because her show just wasn't funny. I mean, if she wanted to joke about
and include aspects of her lifestyle, more power to her, but you need to make it funny! Instead, every episode was like "hey!
I'm gay!" It got old. This week Ellen tells her friends she's gay. Next week she tells her parents. Next week she tells her
boss.....humor got thrown out the window. Then, when ABC made the right move an canceled her failing show, she whined
about it. Get over it, honey.
I will give her show credit for one thing, though--it did have several guest appearances by my god, Bruce Campbell!

Robby: No, Wilek wasn't making that up. "Tattooed Teenage....Blah Blah Blah" was a real show. It came on the USA
network about a season after Power Rangers first debuted, hoping to capitalize on the success of that show. Thing is, it was
so godawful.....I mean, the show screamed out for MST3K's blessed touch. The production values? I could have made a
better looking show with the buck/twenty-five I have in my pocket. The tattoo part was the most ridiculous; by rubbing their
"special" tattoos, the teens (who looked suspiciously like twenty-something actors) transformed into "super-powerful" alien
fighters!!!
I just realized I know waaaaay too much about this show.

***RESUME RP****
"I'm never going to be able to stand up to this guy," SJ lamented. "This is just beautiful, I'm gonna get my hiney handed to me
by an ugly little blue guy...."
"Well....there's one thing," Kari said.
"What?" SJ asked.
"I'm the avatar of Athena, remember? As such.....I can give some of my power to you."
"What--you mean I get to become like, some sort of demi-god or something?"
Kari gave him a smirk. "Nothing so grand. But you will be a little stronger than you are, and maybe able to manipulate some
energy. You won't get tossed on your head.....too much, I think."
SJ smiled. "Enough talking! Juice me up!"
Kari placed her hands on SJ's head, and with a look on concentration, transferred some of her power to SJ. The young
scientist felt the energy flow into his body, stimulating his every cell. At the end, Kari stepped aside to catch her breath.
SJ felt renewed and revigorated. He flexed his muscles. He sneered valiantly at the mutated ratatats. "Alright, you furrballs.
Come get some!"

Gee, I was first. Big surprise... Considering I'm the one who wipes the room and all...

Top tens- Okay, this topic has officially dominated the room now, its time to discuss somethin' else! But what? Hmm...

SJ- Of course, moreso than just about anyone else here, you know what a pain cyber-smurf is gonna be...

Princess Estra- I know the American version of Sailor Moon is evil! But I have no choice! I can't even find places to import one or two of the japanese episodes, let alone all 200... (Well I could if I really tried, but not within my budget...) Pity since I have something of an idea of the differences...

Wilek- Tatooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills? Please tell me thats just a joke like Conan O' Brian's Embryotic Rockabillie Polkadotted Fighter Pilots... (Still ticks me off that he gets the really late spot when he's soooo much funnier than Leno...)

Warpmind- Timedancer to the tune of Goldfinger? Hmm, I could filk that...

Nightwalker- The RP is not a proffesional thing. ANyone who cares to join can, I'm not one to judge. What you do is up to you. As far as the cyber-smurf battle, we never really said, just head for it and we'll overlook that fact... Just in the future, try not to make RP longer than the rest of your post. (I know, I broke that guidline myself just last night, but still...)

Tim Phillips- SOmething is always wrong with the fanfic archive, no reason to go ballistic about it. Perhaps you're trying to submit to it in a format it can't read, or perhaps its one of the usual problems. But don't yell at us about it please.

Sorow- What happened to SwatKats was this... The series went on for two seasons, the second season possesing wonderful anime quality animation. But much like every other company with animation, Hanna Barbara did not advertise, so the show ended and went into reruns on Cartoon Network.

**RP HERE- THE CYBER SMURF SAGA**

"So, who wants to fight my ratatats first?" The smurf grins evily.
"I will." Kari narrows her eyes and looks at the vile creature.
Sevarius Junior, from his recently made hole in the wall mutters something along the lines of "Are you nuts?"
"No Junior. I'm the avatar of a goddess, and this ship is responsible for the death of my brother. He's gonna pay for that.." Kari's eyes glow unnaturally, but before she can do anything, a heroic voice shouts out.
"I, the black tiger will handle this!" And a character in funky black armor with white striped takes the front. "I, being a cat, am perfectly suited to fight mice!"
And so, the first genetically enhanced Ratat comes, and prepares to battle...

**enters the room, switching out the candles and sitting down quickly.**

**sigh** As soon as my shoulders stop hurting, my knees start up! I can't win ...

Christine, re: Owen's voice as Ronald McDonald's dog: Yeah, that would make me lose my appetite, too.

Princess Estra: **deep breath** Believe me, I'm not trying to start anything with ye, but this has to be said. "Ellen" was *not* cancelled because Ellen DeGeneres is a lesbian, as much as she'd *like* you to believe that, it's not the real reason. "Ellen" was cancelled because it had a drastic drop in its audience, and not only that but the writing of the show suffered because the writing staff of the show couldn't come up with anything better to write about than Ellen's sexuality. I actually have enjoyed Ellen DeGeneres' stand up routines and some of the other works she's done (her bit in the Sheryl Crow video was great), and in fact I once modeled a character after her (for those who've seen my cyber-comic, the character was Paragon). But the show just simply stunk because of stagnation of the writers after she came out. I will admit that it had its moments after the event, though (the best of these was the very ending of the episode when Melissa Etheridge gives Laura Dern her toaster oven.).

Warpmind: Write that puppy! And hey, I do a decent Diana Ross. ;)

Kitainia, re: love: **sigh** I know when I'll be happy ... **sighs heavily, fixating on the candle's flame before continuing**

Stephen: Good luck!! **broadcasts luck vibes to Stephen**

Tim: I've been having trouble with it too, it ain't just you.

And now for something completely different ...

Top Ten All Time Animated Features of any origin:

1: Heavy Metal (say it with me kids ... "Taaaarrrnaaaaa ..." ;)
2: A Wind Called Amnesia (my all time fave anime feature.)
3: Ghost in the Shell
4: American Pop (despite what Aimee Major says about it, I happen to *like* rotoscoping)
5: South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut (SJ, it's *still* probably the most intelligent film released thus far this year ... I've been jokingly thinking that it'll get nominated for the Best Picture Oscar as a protest against the MPAA)
6: Venus Wars
7: The Lion King (the *only* Disney to show up on the list, but on the Disney list "Tarzan" comes in a close second ...)
8: The Secret of NIMH
9: The Dark Crystal (don't go splitting hairs, I know it isn't animated but since not a single human shows up on camera, I count it as such)
10: Tie ... An American Tail/The Land Before Time

Kitainia> Thanks for your comments. I did the lyrics for one of Glorianna's songs in the second episode. I really hate writing poetry, so I'll probably never do it again, unless I really want to. :)

Now, top 10 cartoons. Everybody else is doing it, so I suppose I should give it a try. After this, you should all begin to realize how truly strange I am. Oh well, bound to happen sooner or later.

My list is only in rough numerical order. On another day, I might choose different number assignments. Also, I'm sticking to stuff I watch now, or have seen relativly recently. Things I really loved when I was ten seem pretty stupid eighteen years later. (God, I feel old.)

1 - Gargoyles - I was tempted to put this lower, just for fun, but honestly, it was the best. Animation, plot, character development, everything rasied the bar on American animation.
2 - Batman TAS - the animation was beautiful, and they did a good job of working around the restrictions of a kid's show.
3 - The Real Adventures of Johnny Quest - as long as they kept the stupid CGI machine turned off. With one exception, I'm not all that fond of CGI animation yet. The level of talent, equipment, and time that it takes to do a good job just isn't available for a weekly animated show yet.
4 - War Planets - the exception. They did a good job on facial expressions (Still not as good as manual animation yet, but good enough) and avoided, for the most part, the appearance that the characters weren't really touching the background.
5 - Tiny Toons - How I spent my Vacation altered my paradigm.
6 - Animaniacs - actually better than Tiny Toons, but Tiny Toons made Animainacs possible.
7 - The Magic School Bus - especially if you can catch it on PBS, where they have the cool little thing where some kid calls to complain to the producer.
8 - Pokemon - I really wanted to hate this show. I tried very hard, but I just can't. It's too damn sweet to hate.
9 - Dangermouse - Actually, it's pretty stupid, but a good kind of stupid. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Dangermouse.
10 - Aeon Flux - what else is there to say?

Top Ten anime list.
Just about all this stuff is fan-sub, though some of it has been released since I first saw it. In such cases, all my now illegal tapes have been erased (Yeah, sure, right...)
1 - Marmalade Boy - I can't help it. I'm in love with Meiko.
2 - Fushigi Yuugi - now a domestic release. Find the sub if at all possible. You'll thank me.
3 - Escaflone - Mechs and sword fighters, and wierd magic powers. The villian wins the "most unexpected" award, too.
4 - Lain - I have no explination. You just have to see it.
5 - Tenchi - It's domestic. I don't own it. I wish I did.
6 - Macross - various. I really liked Macross Plus, and I'm in the middle of Macross 7, which is the video equivelent of LSD.
7 - Nazca - Strange little show. If you play Changeling: the Dreaming, this might help you see what living in two worlds is like.
8 - Vampire Princess Mieu (Which I can't remember how to spell) - It would probably move way up the list if I could find more episodes.
9 - Orange Road - Same story. I've seen about five episodes, all good, all out of order.
10 - Saber Marionettes J - This would have been higer on the list if I had thought of it earlier. Cherry's the cutest.

Favorite Anime One Shots
Whisper of the Heart
Ghost in the Shell
Armitage the Third, which is technically a series, but a very short one.

There are more, of course, but I'm getting tired of typing.

Kitainia>> I'm a huge Kevin Spacey fan myself. I must agree that I prefer him as the cool villain, but he's able to play any role smooth. Have you seen Hurlyburly? If you like Spacey, you'll LOVE that movie. His acting really shines (as does his good looks...).
What's this about his next movie, American Beauty? When's it supposed to be released? With hardly any time and no TV, I'm kinda cut off from the rest of the world.

But she does a good job of it, especially since her character is very non-traditional in the usual vampiric terms.

<Begin RP> Dostin wiped his fingers when he saw the Aria's return.

"Caleb wake up their back"The Qwertyuiopian said

The blue alien woke up blinked his big eyes twice and sat back."Welcome back girls" he mumbled

"Caleb are you aware you have a coaster on your forehead?" Tizzy asked in her new voice. The elfin aline reached and pulled it off leaving a violet mark on his forehead.

"Dostin why did you tell me?"
Dostin laughed hystericaly"Because you look so stupid"
Meleah looked sternly"Ahem we need to get back to the main ship and contact CR"
"Meleah's right" Karina said "and Dostin make sure you saved some of the Jar Jar Sushi to offer as a peace gift"

Forgot two things:

1. $In the beginning RP, I left out the word "Fight!" from Norman's pronouncement. Fans of Shawshank Redemption should recognize the quote. $

2. Worst Shows on Television: Not sure, but Power Rangers and Histeria are definitely on the list.

**RP HERE, WITH MORE RACIAL VIOLENCE**

The World Church of the Creator continues to beat Shap, but he never gives in and continues quoting scripture. "Come on, nigga!" Norman the Nazi shouts. "It's better that way!" "And then God said to Israel, 'Behold, for I...'" Hale shakes his head as he hears Shap say this. "This one's had enough. Let's start on the girl. Machine!" The big masked guy standing next to Shauna smiles and picks up a shocker stick. "Hold on, guys!" Shap suddenly calls out as the torturer turns toward the still-unconscious Shauna. "You know, in addition to all that scripture and its true meaning, there's something I know that you don't." "And what's that?" Hale asks, his voice saying he doesn't really care. Shap grins. "I'm double-jointed." With that, he pulls his hands out of the ropes binding him, drops to the floor and then stands up. The WCOC look dumbfounded for an instant, then Hale shouts "Machine, kill the girl! The rest of you, help me get him!" The WCOC members around the room nod and charge. Shap, knowing there is nowhere to run, assumes a fighting stance and sends up yet another prayer to God.

**END RP FIRST BIT**

Happy Labor Day, CR Dwellers! :) Now they can start showing Season Premieres on TV (hope they can do it for TGS too, any word on that, Robby?). Doug and I will be commenting on those premieres as we see them. (Note- we'll of course only be seeing the shows we like. Buffy, Angel, X-Files, Simpsons, Family Guy, Martial Law, Early Edition, Walker, various cartoons, and new shows West Wing and Now & Again. The rest aren't worth our time! :) On with replies.

David: Nice job on Freelance 3. I too enjoyed the great plot and character development. James is a little more interesting to me now as a person. :) Liked what was done with Anna too, I wonder if you'll ever actually put down the lyrics for one of her songs (you're probably terrible with them and good with stories, like a lot of writers). Your ficverse is one I continue to enjoy, keep up the good work!

Gunjack: $ Don't worry, Shap is a firm believer in the use of all available arms to vanquish God's foes. :) $ And about the Balrog, yeah, he was a big demon. But he also had that whip and flaming sword, right? Don't you want to see him put some moves on Gandalf with those? I certainly do. :)

Jenna: Thanks for the bits on love. When everyone in here finds it, I hope it makes them as happy as it's made you and Mike. <smiles, hugs Doug> Thanks also to Jaden, Kaioto, and SJ for their excellent romantic advice.

Mary: Congrats to you and Bahemut! Hope you have a long and wonderful time together. :)

SOROW: You like Kevin Spacey, too, huh? :) Doug and I consider him one of our favorite actors, we're looking forward to seeing his next film American Beauty. We also hope he plays a villain again someday like he did in Usual Suspects, he does great bad guys. Good luck with your continuing romance. :)

Sarge: Thanks for making me laugh my head off with that mutate top ten list. Here's a few more:
- "So, guys, when's shedding season?"
- (To Claw) "Can I get you some lasagna?"
- "My neighbor has a dog who he can't stop barking. Do you think you guys could help me scare the dog enough for him to shut up?"

Frank Peratti: Haven't read his stuff yet, but I intend to once I finish Keeper of the King by PN Elrod (Doug brought it home from this year's Gathering, it's a truly great book).

Dinosaucers, COPS, Mask, Silver Hawks: I remember all those shows. Enjoyed them too. Wish it was still the 1980s or early '90s as far as cartoons went, but alas. No more gems like them or Gargoyles, these days Batman Beyond, Spiderman, and Beast Wars are the only things that even come close. <sighs>

Which brings me to:
Top Ten Animated Faves-
1. Gargoyles.
2. Draw between Spiderman and Beast Wars.
3. Simpsons.
4. Draw between Batman:TAS and Batman Beyond.
5. Pokemon.
6. Animaniacs.
7. Futurama.
8. Pinky and the Brain.
9. GI Joe (original).
10. Draw between Looney Tunes and Johnny Bravo.

Top Ten Live-Action Faves
1. X-Files (except last season).
2. Buffy.
3. Ally McBeal.
4. Early Edition.
5. Seinfeld.
6. That 70s Show.
7. The Practice.
8. Martial Law.
9. Brimstone.
10. Roar.
Yes, I know the last two aren't on anymore but I remember them fondly. <sighs>

Welcome back to all who have come back here! And that's all I had to say, so I'll sign off now. Bye!

**RESUME RP**

Shap leaps up as the WCOC jerks charge him, grabs the rope he was tied to and uses it to swing over their heads and land on the far side of the room next to Machine. The masked torturer turns away from Shauna and thrusts his shocker stick at the paladin. Shap dodges it and grabs a cleaver from the tool tray. As Machine swings at him again, he then lunges forward and buries it in the man's head. Machine screams (whether it's in ecstacy or pain isn't clear) and falls back dead. Shap grabs another knife from the tray and quickly uses it to free Shauna. "What the hell is going on?" his girlfriend asks as he quickly wakes her up. "No time to explain!" Shap replies, reciting a quick healing spell to ease his many wounds (Machine hadn't gotten around to beating Shauna before he was killed, so she fortunately has none). He then points at the WCOC, who are all pulling out knives, clubs, or guns and walking towards them shouting hateful pronouncements. "Those jerks are trying to kill us." "Okay," Shauna smiles as she takes another knife from Machine's tool tray. "That's all I need to know."

SMALL RP , MY FIRST ONE EVER

The sands of the online desert swim in the air around Night walker as he tries to find the CR. After four hours of walking/staggering through this barren wasteland he is relieved to find a small building in the sand. He gatheres all of his strenth and runs torward the building . All of his senses heighten as he reaches the cold metal door. No sound.He lookes around for a panel or someway to open it, he finds none.He then presses all of his strenth against the door. It still doesn't open. With thought of giving up he becomes desperate. Reaching back he grabs the barrel of his shotgun . About to blast the door off he shouts "alright I finally get to use this". At that very moment the door slids open. Puzzled , night walker steps in. For what looked like a very small building on the outside it was actually the size of an airport on the inside. As soon as he had both feet inside the door shut close. Unsurprized , night walker reaches into his trenchcoat [wghich is now full of sand] and pulls out his small companion Julius. Speaking to the very small amout of people in the room he says "poor guys been in my pocket all day. Julius , who is actually a very large crow, flaps out of night walkers' hands , flaps around the room for about a minute , and lands on night walker's right shoulder. "Their minds are else where" the large bird squacked and then proceeded to look around still very interested. The room had about 60+ computers in it yet there were only about four people there.Clearing his throat and trying to use his loudest voice he said "do any of you know were this great battle is ? Their faces remained non-descript . "I wonder where everybody is " Julius said" I thought this place was supposed to be filled with people". "It was" night walker replied" but it doesn't look like we'll get an awnser out of them ". Taking one last look around the CR he headed torwards the door. As soon as he touched the door a message appeared on the frame . Dark Star Two, it said . Eyes open wide night walker opened the door and was surprised to find that the sandstorm had stopped. Things were looking up. With Julius on his shoulder and a smile on his face night walker proceded out of the building in search of his new goal.
PAUSE RP

Robby-So what do you think , is it CR-RP material . What do I do now, and where exactly is this battle? I know this is stupid but I'm almost as confused as my characters. Do I have to go somewhere else to fight the battle or is it here? And is it all day today? Please somebody clear this up.

RP CONTINUED
The smile on night walkers face was begining to fade , he had been walking for hours and he still could not find any clues to where this dark star was . Determined to find his goal he continued onward . Bad thought were still plaugeing his mind. He did not know exactly where he was going , and the sandstorm covered up whatever hope he had of finding a trail. And the extremly slow day in the CR didn't help him any either. But these thoughts were soon forgotten when he saw two figures walking his way. His pace sped up . When he was sure that these two travelers saw him he called out. When the four met he realized that he recognized one of them. "Bronx , how are you". She smiled at him , but did not say anything. Would you two like to join me on my quest to the dark star two . I'm in great need of asistence. I heard that there was a battle going on and thought it would be a great way to practise my skills. And after this battle , if you join me or not I would like to assist you on your quest".Bronx and her partner both looked at him and the bird sleeping on his shoulder , both reluctant to answer.
END RP

I know there had to be at least 30 typos in that , so don't saw anything , I know already. In a few days I'll have some character profiles up if anyones interested.

My top five favorite shows [I watch alot of T.V. , just not alot of shows].
5.Sailor moon
4.X-files
3.south park
2.Daria
1.Gargoyles[best show in the world, of course]

Greetings all... Rough weekend here, since I worked yesterday, and I have to work today, and I don't get to cash my paycheck until tomorrow. Grrrr... Also, my daughter wanted to go to a Pokemon CCG Tournement on Saturday so she could trade cards... brother! And I thought Magic: The Gathering traders were pushy! Ever see a gaggle of eight-year olds haggling over a Chansey? (ultra rare card)

ANIMATED SHOW TOP TEN - Hmm, I'll take a stab at this:

01 - Gargoyles
02 - Reboot
03 - Pirates of Dark Water
04 - SWATKats
05 - Super-Dimentional Fortress Macross
06 - Veggie Tales
07 - PokeMon
08 - Transformers:OS American
09 - Thundercats
10 - Beast Wars

Honorable Mention - Mighty Orbots

WORST KIDS SHOWS TOP TEN - And for the other list:

01 - South Park (Okay, technically it's not a kids show!)
02 - Teletubbies
03 - Big Bad Beetleborgs
04 - Recess
05 - Pepper Ann
06 - Rugrats
07 - Van-Pires
08 - Bone Chillers
09 - Any Power Rangers after the first 2 seasons
10 - Hysteria!

And remember, this is only my opinion.

There are some new shows coming on Fox that look like winners at first: The new Avengers, Beast Machines, Big Guy & Rusty the Boy Robot. Also, if it comes to pass, there's an animated series planned called "Avalon" that might be cool.

Well, that's all for now. Maintain and Check Six!

Were Seeds of Changes and Crossroads-Part 2 the last ep of the current season in their respective series?
If so when is the next series due to begin? When is Dark Ages returning?
Shows I like (and their characters i find sexy):
1)Beast Wars!!!! (sorry but I prefer this to Gargoyles. One reason CHEETOR (FIRST SEASON) AND ORIGINAL DINOBOT!!! Love those Beast modes! I've a thing for cats and I can think of a use of Dinobot's raptor tongue)
2)Gargoyles (Brooklyn-love that beak!)
3)Shadow Raiders (Cryos-no, I'm not mad! Better him than Leonardo DeCraprio like so many dillusional teenage girls)
4)Star Trek-TNG (Picard is sorta attractive, Geordi is nice too, perhaps Worf)
5)DS9 (Sisko, Jake, Bashir, Worf)
6)Voyager (Harry Kim, Paris, Chakotay, the Doctor maybe-Note I didn't include Neelix, quel surprise)
7)X-Files (Mulder, Kyrcek, Skinner's OK)
8)Transformers (Sorry guys, but none of you are a patch on the Beast War characters)
9)Mummies Alive
10)Godzilla (Godzilla, hahaha! LOL)
I've only seen 2 and a half eps of Crusade, but I think the Asian telepath guy (can't remember his name) is real cute.

Hear ye, hear ye, I hereby apologize for double post (which may leave some people doubly pissed).

Ever played a game called Albion? I'm tellin' ya, Christine would have a field day with it. For starters, you're a planetary exploration pilot who dumps down on an alien world... the shuttle explodes, and your life is saved... by a chick with a somewhat felinoid head structure and *three* breasts. Furthermore, they find clothign provocative, while nudity is the norm (Quote: What better way to provoke a male's instincts than to conceal your body from his eyes?). Too bad the resolution is so damn low.

Well, can't really think of much at the moment aside from that, but I do plan on studying Avalon Mists further while there is still time... so, later, everyone.

Ok, back for a breather.

Lexy: How fares the fundraiser? My donation there yet?

**Stretches fingers Toombs-style toward Sarge's throat.**
Sarge, those mutate jokes were terrible. **Withdraws hands.** I loved them. Can you think of any more?

Actually, I came up with a good one, something Lexington really LOATHES to hear: "Look, mom! The kite talks!"

Oh, and a freakish dream I had this weekend: It started with some dame singing "Timedancer", a filked version of "Goldfinger". Now THAT was ridicoulous (Typo, I know, I know), but nothing could prepare me for what finished it off: Brooklyn went into stone sleep... in mid-sneeze. I awoke with a start... and if I can remember the lyrics to "Timedancer", I'll probably post it in Avalon Mists. Think we could get Diana Ross to sing it?

Well, the bell hath rungeth, so I shalt haveth to leaveth... later.

Draconis: Is this years Gathering opposite any comic book conventions?

Business Question: For you photo-types out there, what do you usually charge for photo restoration, and how do you come up with a good fee to charge?

Allow me finish this post with a passage from the holy "Book of Armaments Chapter One, verses nine through twenty-one..."
"...And Saint Antioch took the Holy Handgrenade upon high saying:
'Oh Lord, bless this, thyne handgrenade, so that I may blow thyne enemy to tiny bits, in thyne mercy.'
And the Lord did grin, and they feasted upon the lamb, sloths, orangotangs, and breakfast cereals, and..."
<A voice yells from the congregation of the Holy Curch of Saint Wiesman> "Skip a bit, Brother!"
<A few pages are flipped, then continued.>
"First, take out the holy pin. Then, thou shall count to three. No more. No less. Three shall be the number of the counting, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shall thy not count, neither shall thou count to two, unless thou then proceed to three. Five is RIGHT OUT.
"When the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it. Amen.
<The CR Congregation echo's "Amen's", then all members stand, pull thier cloaks over thier heads, then hit thier heads with boards as they chant and walk out of the CR Church.>

**RP!**

[A shuttle from the Avatar Of Ganon, carrying the heroes chosen to kill the cybersmurf, approaches the Dark Star II, along with Jashin's starfighter (he probably won't actually be boarding the station). Decius: "Our orders from the Administrator are to wait in a parking orbit around the station for approximately one half hour. Presumably to give the other challengers a chance to exhaust our opponent." Dark Mage Wilek: "Good thinking. Although why we haven't simply annihilated this place with your mistress' wonderful toys, I'll never know." Decius: "Because she wants to assimilate the station, intact if possible." DMW: "Hm."
A few minutes later, when he's sure he isn't being watched, he glances oh so subtly out the window, at a smallish but ominous-looking black ship, nearly invisible against the void of space, that no one has yet noticed which is also orbiting the station...]

i wrote a huge post about the depressing complexities of my life. i was in the middle of an important IM conversation with a girl i'm in love with (who might return my sentiments). but the *BLEEPING* computer froze. i hate this thing. it can't do anything! so i restarted and got back online... the girl was gone, and i am WAY too tired to rewrite that whole post. so you're saved for tonight.

Robby: Japanese Sailormoon is the only way to go! the DiC dubbed version is evil Evil EVIL EVIL! they made Zoisite a girl! *whimper* poor Zoisite!

Coyote: i only did American cartoons because if i expanded it i'd only list anime! and i couldn't leave it @ ten then... and i disagree about what you said about Ellen. i like that show, even if she didn't do the best by it. but they WOULD cancel the show of one of the few lesbian romodels out there...

**SJ walks into the CR humming the "Shock the Monkey" remake by Coal Chamber and Ozzy Osbourne***
Yes, you read that right. Coal Chamber and the Ozzman have remade "Shock the Monkey". If that doesn't piss off some
Peter Gabriel fans, I don't know what will....;0)

Long Movie Titles: My favorite belongs to the ultra-horrible schlock classic "The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped
Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies". Try saying that ten times fast.

4. Dragonball Z
5. X-Men
6. South Park
7. TMNT
8. G.I. Joe
9. Simpsons
10. Superman

Top Ten Shows on Cable: (I didn't want to do the top ten best shows on tv, cause frankly I don't know if I could narrow
down my choices that much...)

1. Babylon 5
2. Farscape
3. Crusade (Grr.....)
4. La Femme Nikita (how many of you do I have to sacrifice to get a date with Peta Wilson? ;)
5. Crocodile Hunter
6. G vs. E
7. Star Trek (original series, now in repeats)
8. Highlander (repeats)
9. Emergency Vets

VISIT STATION EIGHT!
VISIT STATION EIGHT!

Top ten probably. Of course, I wipe the room...

Firestorm- The random hero name generator actually works if you use it for a bit... But it almost never gives the same name twice...

Sarge- Cool top tens. You should probably put top tens in the Station Eight CR too...

Mary Flanders- COngrats! May it be true love!

Kermit- Welcome back! You just saw the Lion King for the first time? Neat. Its a cool movie ain't it?

Best television shows ever- Oh geez, thats even harder than animated shows... But I'd toss Xena and Crocadile Hunter in there someplace on the list...

Worst shows? Chowder rangers and Sonic Underground come immediatley to mind...
Histeria is most likely on the list, though it DOES have one or two redeeming qualities like the Lydia Kareoki; Network Censor bits... (ANd all three or so of Rob Paulsen's Mr. Smarty Pants sketches... There was a character that was sorely underused...)

And now it is time to begin...

**LONG RP START HERE: THE CYBER SMURF SAGA**

The Dark Star Two uncloaks, allowing its challengers to come. Various vessels are waiting outside to attempt to fight the villain. At least a dozen heroes are here already. Among them is... Dis Connect?
"What are YOU doing here?" Sevarius Junior asks.
"This guy disrupted all major electronics throughout the world. That's MY job and fun, so I'm gonna stop him from doing it again. Besides, he's a CYBERNETIC smurf, my powers should handle him with no trouble."
The voice of the Cyber-Smurf booms throughout the air fortress as he appears from a hallway into the main entryway. The cyber smurf laughs evily. "You might want to leave now Dis Connect. I've already killed your evil twin COnnection Denied. This fortress cancels out all of your powers. Including your immortality."
"What? I had an evil twin?"
"Yes."
"And my powers are cancelled out?"
"Yes."
"I'm outta here!" With that, Dis Connect flees like the coward he is.
"And now," the cyber-smurf announces. "You will all face my six genetically enhanced Ratatats before you battle me."
"No way! You're just a shrimpy little smurf! I'll just squish you and be done with it!" SJ announces.
"Junior, think about this before you just attack an unknown enemy..." Kari warns.
"He's a flippin' smurf!" The son of Sevarius proceeds to attack the little bugger. The end result is with a lightning quick move from the smurf, SJ is slammed headfirst into a nearby metal wall. "Why just me?" he moans.
"Now then..." Begins the cyber smurf again. "You will fight my genetically enhanced Ratatats first..."
