Hey everyone, another nice weekend. Why do they have to be so short? Well I have to work a range tomorrow. Guarding a gate while others fire their m16s.

Niamhgold<I'll never forgive myself> Oh sure you can I mean it can happen to any one Fire Sto- I mean Niamhgold. ;)

Imzadi<This isn't the CR you're looking for> This isn't the CR I'm looking for...Hey wait a minute...uh never mind. ;)

BTW I've lost the address to the spark tests what is it again?

Fleur<Oh and you're not too young, by the way: my best friend just turned 22 and he's got a bad back as well. Something we teased him about endlessly at his birthday on the week end> Give your friend my sympathies and make sure that he keeps his back straight when he sits down. ;P

Fire Storm Who is this Jaden person people keep talking about?

"Why was the station destroyed in the last episode?"

Because they didn't want to abandon it to scavengers or to pirates and yet they couldn't get the money to maintain it because it was no longer important!

"What was the point of having Sinclair there for the 1st season? Was that part of the planned storyline? "

Yes! Unfortuately the executives wanted Sinclair's actor fired and JMS complied! So JMS gave the Sheridan character much of the story arc that was for Sinclair. So basically Sakai was going to be Anna Sheridan and Sinclair was suppose to become Valen at the end of the 5 years. Sheridan would probably still establish the ISA!

"Ok, what really happened to Sheridan in the end?"

Lorien took him beyond the rim where the Shadows, Vorlons, Walkers(, the Celestials, Watchers, Guardians, Controllers, Zamarons, Organians, Vok, the Children of Oberon)and all the other first ones were!

Was he supposed to come back later?

Was King Arthur suppose to come back from Avalon to England in its worst moment? Was Jesus suppose to walk the Earth again? I think it's a matter of faith.

"Are there any sites out there dealing with Monster Rancher?"

Cartoon info? If so go to the monster rancer boards at monster-rancher.com and ask! Another thing the third season suck.

Rant

You know JMS said that Babylon 5 was suppose to answer three questions. Who are you which was the question of the Vorlons and Minbari and the first question. Why are you here which was Lorien's question and the middle one a mixture of Who are you and what do you want. What do you want which is the question of the humans and Shadows, but I think Babylon 5 answered why are you here the best. It said that we were here to build for a greater future and that we would outlive our world and our sun.

Is all this understandable?

Imzadi - part of my problem is the idiot I live with. Growing up was rather . . unpleasant for me. For those who remember my comments about Columbine, that explains a lot.

I'm for restricting to 3 months if you post regularly (at least 3 times a week) before getting your own profile page. Anything less often and I would say 6 months.

MS - if I could go back in time, I would takeover MS {that and prevent my mom's death.). I would have split the company into 3 divisions: Application software, operating systems, and internet resource division. The only problem I see with that split is the supposed rumor that sometime in the future you will have to go online to access your word processor, your spreadsheet program, etc.

As far as cars goes, I want speed, speed, and more speed. BTW, did I mention I want my car to be able to outrun yours?

College students - hey, as the long majority of posters here aren't aged 30+, the fandom is suriving.

**Babylon 5 Questions**
Why was the station destroyed in the last episode?

**END BABYLON 5 Questions**

The personality test works with only Internet Explorer. That sucks.

When is Pokemon supposed to die?

Are there any sites out there dealing with Monster Rancher?

One more reason why Kevin Smith rules!!!

I discovered today that the website in the movie, moviepoopshoot.com is in fact a real site, and the negative comments that Jay and Silent Bob read and got pissed off at were real comments made by real people when the movie was announced months ago. They even used some of the names of their bashers like "Magnolia-Fan".

College news: Today I explored the campus and found my way to all my classes, I didn't want to get lost on the first day. It's really hard making new friends when everyone is busy moving in, so I can't wait til classes start. It feels weird not seeing my parents all the time, but very satisfying. I finally feel on my own! Later!

School News: 50% of my classes were canceled.
At least I was only taking 2 classes. My metalurgy class was canceled, and right after I bought my book. Figures, eh?

imzadi: <How's THAT for storage?!>
5 PCI slots... grab the 4 USB/2 1394 cards.
Hmm... 22 USB ports, 12 1394s...
Over 532TB... Hmm...
How much storage capacity did they estimate the human brain has?
<I'd need a box about that size to hold all the external HD's?>
Buy a rack!
<She's not supposed to think>
Unfortunately, she has to think some. The 4 primary Asimov rules, slightly modified.
Plus, if she is to adapt to your tastes, she has to realize what you want, which means some thinking.
<Tempting, but as the old adage says, "I can't live without them".>
With biologicailly corrected and capable DLD's...
<But can it make criss-cut fries?>
Yep. Just set it and forget it!

Well, I just read the most recent issue of National Geographic and it mentioned his wall poem.
<And I KNOW promethian fire is modelled on anyone in particular (or any combination of posters we all know and love), right?>
Mostly myself, actually. The Berkley part was because I checked my Seti@home group stats before I wrote that (Top 230, baby!)
Any similarities to any posters is purely unconcious.
<::grimaces at "sandwich artist" comment::>
I figured that the person would either want to make their pathetic job seem better than it is or laugh at what the company named their sanwich makers to make them seem more important.
Alision... I was making fun of the actor.
Arch Angela: Making fun of some teens
Horatio Hornswaggler: I have no idea where I got the name from. But I was making fun of mid-life crisis males (IE: My dad)
<That's all I have too...in fact, that's all most mac users ever need. A great pair of speakers and my tunes are rockin. Assuming your sound card WORKS, that's all you need.>
Quad speakers, or only the 2?
Soon, I am getting a 5.1 Dolby setup for my computer. ROCK!

I don't care if it has a flashy name like "Firewire". To me it will ALWAYS be a IEEE 1394 port.

Warpmind: <If it were larger, of *course* I wouldn't use conventional ammunition for all three barrels>
Hell no! SPECIAL ammo! ;)
<If it's any comfort, the internal speaker on my 486 has on several occasions provided better, clearer sound than various SB cards I've heard>
Dosn't surprise me. Some of those speakers are pretty good.

Gside: <Chiana?>
Who cares HOW her name is spelled?!? The white/grey skin! The hair! The CORSETS!
<But it lacks full free will, as well as a fully organic body, no?>
MOST likely. At least version 1.0
<That would probably be given. And some of those ladies could be quite vengeful>
As long as she dosn't hang herself!
<Probably. Called engineering and the scineces>
"Hi, my name is Bob, and I am an engineer."
"Cool. Wanna help us re-design this bridge?"
"Sure!"
<It was uncapitalized. She probably meant a Grey>
Makes me VERY happy that DNA samples are near impossible to get from my species.

*Warpmind enters, grinning from ear to ear.*
Ladies, gents, regulars and any others I might have missed... clicking my name will lead to my first MIDI file that I am somewhat satisfied with. It does NOT, however, lead to the few dozen I was utterly and totally disgusted with. ;) Gimme yer opinions, your thoughts, and a case of various seasonings. ;)

Lain: Awwww.... :( Now I really wish I had more money on my phone... :( *Offers a bearsuit-hug*

Fire Storm: If it's any comfort, the internal speaker on my 486 has on several occasions provided better, clearer sound than various SB cards I've heard. (8-bit SB cards, but still...) Of course, I've yet to encounter any other computer with such a good PC speaker anywhere. (Olivetti PCS 42 series; SX/33 processor as standard. It's an Elder Thing...)

Spacebabie: Actually, Revel's brother collects swords. I just know where I can get some; I don't have any besides an orc-quality cane sword. ;) (Money issue, as always. And the general concept of futility; I can own swords, but I can't carry them around anywhere due to Norwegian legislation.) If I'm getting a sword, I'll do it in a country where I can carry it around in public without being pulled over by cops all the time, and it'll be a custom-crafted nodachi, to boot.

Christine: The orc shaman might enchant an orc-sword? Orcs who never make real contact with other races (some far-off tribe, for instance) might think their swords are great, due to lack of comparing material. ;)

Josh: You'll take two, huh? Sorry, but the Titan Eagle will be one-of-a-kind. However, I can have two similar ones built; with slightly different interior and stats. (Like the Bond cars, y'know. No two alike.) As for everything being there at your birth - sounds like an old argument between the Church and Science - the world was created some six thousand years ago, or something, with rocks that were artificially aged in advance. ;) Oooh, and neat new icons! I'm such a hunk. };) (But Manxine does, technically, belong in the Fanfic category...) And just WHERE did you get those scantily-clad-looking Weird Sisters, anyway? ее Divulge! Now!

That about concludes my post. Later, everyones. *Returns to writing GURPS campaign*

Josh>> Seeing all those Kevin Smith films was worth it. Without Gavin, I would have missed out on a lot of things out there in the world. If you haven't seen some of his works, go out there and rent them and watch. They are da' bomb!!!

Calipse>> I don't think I spelled your name right again. Sorry for such a late post. But anyway, I'm still engaged to Gavin, (also known as Dags) working hard on my novel Mythia and my second novel Mythia 2. Been working hard on Gavin and I's manga/anime comic book, "Fae In Tokyo", I have two of the episodes finished. Gavin came over here to Washington to visit me last week of July and that was a blast, and I got the pictures just yesterday to prove it. And before that I went to see him the first time around on the last week of March of this year. I'm still working at Rite Aid and I'm now going to SERIOUSLY keep saving up my money to get out of this hell hole. Wish me luck. Well, I guess that's all for now. Talk with ya' later.

Fare Thee Well, til then everyone.

[comes in, slightly tanned, tired and sporting a new white fedorah-style hat...]

Greetings all! Yesterday was a day off, and I got to spend it with Kellie Fey and Ithica, who came over from Orlando to visit. The three of us took off for lunch at the Outback Steakhouse (good stuff!), then we hopped over to Busch Gardens and had a great time together... well, I can say I did, mostly because the girls rented a powered personal scooter for me so I could give my ankles a rest from walking all over the park (*HUGS to Kellie!*). Took a lot of pictures, spend money on expensive sodas and other gifts. Went through the Budweiser Hospitality House and forgot to get a free sample (again!), but got a nice unique gift for my girl Heather... then after the park closed, we went to IHOP for dinner and just talked and had a great time before the girls had to head back to Orlando later that night.

It was a good day overall! And it convinced me to save up some money to get a year's admission passcard, after I get my car.

XENATREK - I got your emails, did you get mine? ^_^

Not much else to say... will talk to everone later. Oh, I took the color test: I'm a Blue with a weaker color of White. Hence the change over from my usual Bright Red...

Maintain and Check Six!

Josh> <<Take it apart?! Just to install an Enet card!?>> yeah, the comp didnt have an ethernet card in it, so I had to put it in. the most dangerous job in ancient egypt was the guy that pierced the cats. <<Now, I am a HUGE fan of all of Kevin Smith's work.>> do you have the Jay and Silent Bob action figures? I do as well as all 3 of the Clerks comics, the Bluntman and Cronic comic and the Jay and silent Bob comic where they get Walt Flanagan's Dog high..hehehe...

and didnt I say J&SBSB is an awesome film? and lucky for me, I got my fiancee hooked on Kevin Smith's films. it took her a long time to finally rent Clerks and Mallrats, but once she saw them she loved them. then when I was up there, visiting her, we rented Chasing Amy and Dogma. she's going to see J&SBSB on sunday and she still needs to see Clerks: The animated Series. and there's another kewl thing about Kevin Smith's films is they are all related to one another. they make reference to the other films as well. like J&SBSB made reference to something that happened in the animated series. hehehehe

Snooch to the Motherf!cking Nooch!!!

Hola, people! Seems I can jump in here quite frequently these days, isn't it? Well, luckily for me, I have still a ten days of licence, and I must get them all before the 18th of September, when my service is supposed to finish (even if I am accepted at the Academy, I will have to consume all of my licence days before October, so the difference is minimal...) so I can be here very often now...

Josh:> << The impression I get in this country is that racing is only closely followed by rednecks. You never see the upper crust of a major city talking about racing, at least not in this country. I'd like to say that Italy is filled with rednecks>> Hmm...I don't know exactly how is in America (Through the TV I got the impression that racing is very popular there, but I could be wrong), but for sure here in Italy racing was always very popular (cars especially, but in these last few years bikes too...what I am very happy about, for sure...), especially where Ferrari is involved (Scuderia Ferrari is a piece of history for us, and one of our (few) national prides...). We kept on supporting Ferrari even when for years they weren't able to win a single race, and so now that they have become unbeatable...
<<I've been there twice and it just ain't true>> You've been in Italy? Really? Hey, I didn't imagine it. May I ask you where exactly you were, and when?
<<Not necessarily. My roommate almost went to Cornell University in New York specifically for studying Aeronautical Engineering. The schools that don't offer it as a separate major often offer a couple courses in it that are in the mechanical engineer department, so you were half right>> Well, being half right is better than nothing, isn't it? Jokes apart, thank you for the infos.
<<Not a trade I'd ever make, personally>> I had no choice, since here military service is still compulsory. The fact I happened to like military life better than I expected and that I am now trying to enter the Academy is another topic...

Niamhgold:> I got your letter! I thank you a lot for sending it, and for the card I found in it. What is (the card) about? I suspect it is an animated series, but I don't know it. Also, check your email in a couple hours, I'm gonna send you a reply!

Later everyone!

::Listening to Bush's "Deconstructed"::

Good morning/afternoon/night/whatever. Got woken up at 9:45AM by the maid calling for directions to the apartment.

The maid arrived late (argh) which kind of stalled our plans for the day. But she did an AMAZING job. Our apartment wasn't this clean when we moved in. I didn't know our bathroom and kitchen walls WERE white! On the plus side, my roommate got his mom to split the new couch with him (I'm not contributing), so our apartment will have an AWESOME soft black leather sofa with pullout bed.

Mike made BBQ chicken sandwiches for lunch (with grilled onions...mmmm).

We went to IKEA to actually purchase the couch my roommate wanted. The trip was relatively painless and the couch will be delivered on Friday. That gives us 6 days to completely dismantle the couch (we bought a SAW for this job...) or give it away.

In other news, the Microsoft trial has been assigned to...a woman. I'm not sure if this is good or bad, but it'll certainly be different. I hope she rips their balls off, as only a woman can do.

Ooh ooh! And I ordered ONE GIGABYTE of RAM today for my G4 tower that isn't here yet. But in a few days, I'll have a dp800/70gig/1152meg/133MHz/4megs L3 cache at 200 MHz/airport/17" flatscreen digital...

Not to brag or anything. ;-)

Apparently, my first post was Feb 22nd...which makes it just past 6 months I've been posting. Good. That means I can have a profile 8-). I think maybe we could reduce the number of required months to 3 if they post every day or two...

And I think I figured out why I can't seem to get enough women. I call them things like "babe" or "their name" when I should be calling them "boom boom kitty f*ck". If she gets it, she stays. If she smacks me, she goes ;-)

In other news, we set up DirecTV tonight with the cracked out premium package. We get about a bazillion movie channels, lots of standard cable channels, and of course, the Bunny Rabbit channel (::cough::). All for the incredibly (::cough, choke::) low price of $110/month...split 4 ways 8-) I think I can tolerate an additional $7 a month to my personal share of the cable bill, seeing as we're now getting 4 times as many channels. This really nice lady over at DTV helped us out and fixed our second receiver over the phone and even told us we'd be getting WB in January...but still no UPN yet, so we'll have to get Star Trek from our cable connection. SWEET!

In totally unrelated news, guess which movie I saw?

JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK!

***WARNING: SPOILERS***

This, in my opinion, is the ultimate date movie. Here's why: if she likes it, you know she's cool. If she doesn't, you know it's never gonna work. Same goes for every other Kevin Smith movie.

Now, I am a HUGE fan of all of Kevin Smith's work. As far as I'm concerned he is second to NONE when it comes to comedy. He beats Monty Python, National Lampoon, SNL, everyone. Hands down. Maybe its because his sense of humor is so similar to mine...or maybe its because he makes fun of a lot of stuff while making fart jokes around hot women. I could get used to a job like that.

This movie was, of course, brilliant in every way. It had great laughs, fart jokes, sex jokes, mocking celebrities, hot chicks in tight outfits, obscure and blatant references to Kevin Smith's other movies, and of course, Bluntman and Chronic themselves.

Its amazing that they made a whole movie about a moronic pot dealer and a guy who doesn't talk, but somehow Smith did it. He truly is one of the funniest men alive.

Silent Bob had only three lines (topping ALL his other parts!), and the best by far was when he gave up trying to draw the sign (sign the sign?) and just ripped into Jay for being a moron. The part where they go around beating the crud out of the internet dweebs was pretty cool too.

Hats off to the lightsaber duel, which beats the cr4p out of CTHD for best fight scene ever. The fact that Hamill lost his hand only made it that much better, as did the shots of Jay and Silent Bob looking like characters from Phantom Menace.

I'm bummed that Jay and Silent Bob will be making no more appearances, but at least Alanis Morrisette won't be making any more appearances as God. That was f*cking scary.

Shannon Elizabeth and Elizabeth Dushku in tight black leather made this movie easily worth my $8.75. OH MY GOD. BOTH will be Tier 1 members of my harem. If I can't have both, I'll settle for one. I don't care which one. Dushku has that whole "bad girl" thing goin on, which is definitely hot, but of course Shannon Elizabeth has that whole "geek love" thing goin on, which naturally appeals to me.

***END SPOILERS****

On to replies!

Lady Mystic: <<feel I should announce as much news as I can>>: Its that kind of loyalty that makes us love you! ;-) <<including graphical calendars for each month>>: Who will change the calendar graphics each year? <<The submission form isn't functional>>: When will it be? <<Please tell me what you think about the topics and form fields so that I may tailor the form to your needs>>: It looks GREAT! Maybe though the text fields should at least appear larger? <<calendar>>: I think the calendar dates should be limited to the following things: birthdays, graduation, anniversary of marriage/death (of CR members, not of my uncle's sister or something obscure), Gathering. Marking the calendar with someone's first post or anniversary of first post strikes me as a little excessive. Stuff like that will fill the calendar WAY too fast. <<member deletion>>: A member that dies should NEVER be removed, and the anniversary of their death should be marked (Reverend Atilla, though I never met the beast, I believe would fit this category). But a member that disappears for 6 months without telling someone to at least say "Member X is still alive just AFK" should be removed, especially if we start getting worried about space. Although I do like your idea about the two different profile lists as well. That way people new people can check out the profiles and get to know the people that welcome them in. <<Saturday, August 48, 2001>>: Damn that's a long month! <<It's interesting to find so many CR members' text colors matching their personality colors>>: I can't say I'm surprised. The red personalities tend to select pictures and colors that draw attention and/or anger...interesting, no?

Yeah, the letters were signed by thousands of people that were...DEAD. <<Until recently it owned 92% of the pc market. That has dropped. web services,
liscense revenues, all down>>: Thousands of major IT departments are looking at the new licensing and ripping out their wintel hardware. Some will go mac, but most will go linux. This is a good time to be a linux user. And it will only get better as Microsoft tries to throttle the entire market. <<All I have to use winblows for is word processing and VC++>>: Are you saying that linux doesn't have a word processor that is compatible with word!? In any case, I'm looking forward to seeing powerful unix apps on my mac, since OS X is BSD-based. <<I'll finaly be back to T1 connections 24/7>>: pr()n server?

They just look that way. In reality, they were all created the moment of my birth. <<lest I'll be forced to have at you with my cane, you young whipper-snapper, you>>: Show me a 12,000 mile cane and I'll show you a bad targeting system ;-)

Ravyn: <<got a really good grade on this pretest thing we had to do>>: This semester I'm taking "Dynamics", which is the SECOND half of the physics class started by "Statics". Now things will actually MOVE! I hope the rest of my civil engineering career isn't like this...I might have to laugh my way through every lecture, much to the apparent envy of my fellow CE majors. <<those darn engineering books are always so EXPENSIVE!>>: The bummer is that on a bill like this, it BARELY pays to get used books. <<Have fun with that thing>>: I will, as soon as it gets in. <<laughs even harder>>: Thanks, I was pretty proud of that one. <<I'll try not to worry so much 'bout stuff>>: Even your love life will improve. ;-) <>: Right, that's what I said: the engineer thing.

Queen of Pain: <<The only problem with being outside was I got eaten up by fire ants>>: OUCH. <<Next week my brother will trun the legal drinking age in Canada>>: But is he going? <>: That explains a lot. <<includes poem by my professor!>>: Yeah, lots of profs use the books they wrote. It makes teach a LOT easier and it makes the class a richer experience, in my opinion. I don't blame the profs for using the class to pad their wallets, because its exactly what I'd do in their shoes. <<You were drinking and you not in Canda and your underage>>: And...? <<what you did was illegal>>: Did you bring the handcuffs? <<Don't make me come over and punish you>>: Ooh tell me more ;-) <>: Don't rub it in, lush.

Greg X: <<I'll miss them>>: Me too.

But since there is now an entire movie about them, it'll be lame if they show up again. <<Eliza Dushku in a tight black leather suit>>: What I wouldn't give... <<What more could you possibly want?>>: To find out that instead of a 17" flatscreen monitor, Apple accidentally shipped me Elizabeth Dushku. Without the black leather suit. Or any other suit. ;-)

Colors: Pale blue (mostly white).

Fire Storm> <<He has a brother?>>: One can only fear.
<<Chandra's corset>>: Chiana?
<<But if it is already thinking, will it notice the change?>>: But it lacks full free will, as well as a fully organic body, no? That would probably be given. And some of those ladies could be quite vengeful.
<>: Probably. Called engineering and the scineces.
<>: It was uncapitalized. She probably meant a Grey.

Imzadi> <>: Even if that man is yourself?
<<Oops>>: What do you mean oops? That's the way it's supposed to be done. Though more forward thinking barbarians have taken to leaving the women alive.
<<"atrium" is an entryway>>: No. It's just a large room, usually walled in and/or covered with glass, usually in the middle of a large shop or office building. A foyer is one of the more common other ways to say entryway.
<<Was it a flying attack porcupine?>>: Sadly no. It was a dead stuffed porcupine, though it still had amazing quills.
<<Would you mind doing me a favor and setting up a pr()n server?>>: Well, there's always that thing about the !@$# 240 meg limit.

Lady Mystic> New pages: Looks good.

Archwolf> <<Anyone seen the August 2001 IEEE Spectrum?>>: Seen it, been too lazy to read it.

Siofra> <<then I realized that most of the engineers at U of M have no lives>>: That is not unique to your campus. But do I let that bother me?

Just got back from seeing "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back". This movie is f-cking AWESOME!!! A great send-off to Jay and Silent Bob, I'll miss them, but at the same time I applaud Kevin Smith for taking them out with a bang, rather than dragging their dead carcasses through the mud like Fox is doing with "The Simpsons".

Also this movie features Eliza Dushku in a tight black leather suit. What more could you possibly want?

Went to the fair yesterday and on a massive cleaning spree this morning. Ow, do I ache! But the house sparkles and we won 4 stuffed animals, 2 inflatable sharks, and a fish in a plastic bag (which died less than 24 hours after we got it).

Tomorrow -- Dragonflight, and I get to run GURPS Fantasy, and see if this time, for once, I can get done in my allotted time!

Tara > I'd advise against posting on the internet anything you hope to publish. Most publishers, editors, and agents will turn it down for that reason alone. They figure that no one will buy something that they can get online for free.

Warpmind > under some circumstances, I suppose you'd be right about a mage not knowing the weapon quality ... but in this particular case, the sword was really a piece of crap ; )

Siofra > re: Darwin Fish -- on his old car, Tim had a Cthulhu Fish (had a squiddy snarl of tentacles coming out the snoot <g>). Right by his Miskatonic U. bumper sticker.

Well I didn't have class today, so instead I had my first therapy session. It went great.

Afterword I treated my brother to lunch at Steak and Shake, should have ordered a shake though, instead I had the chilli five way.

When I got home I decide to work on my first poem for my poetry class so i sat outside leaning against the palm tree, or as Mix((My only cat who goes out doors))vies it. The giant scratching post. She was lying next to me and I took a break now and then to play with her using a twig. The only problem with being outside was I got eaten up by fire ants.

Next week my brother will trun the legal drinking age in Canada.

speaking of the great North, they actually did something cool. They have the biggest shopping mall in the world in Alberta.

Color test. My color is: About Blank, cause thats all I got when I pressed for the test and it just sat their.

In yesterdays class, well lets just say my proffesors makse sure that we take a hands on aproach in studying Shakespear. We are reading "Comedy of Errors" and he portrays the main character who is the spotlight in the scene while he pulls up students to portray other characters, even extras for a crowd scene. for the crowd, he had a mother and daughter, two high rollers, a prostitue and I was a nun.

Lady Mystic>>>Love the updates and I hope we can submit our profiles soon.

Josh>>>The books set meback about 80 dollars, but here is the interesting thing. My poetry book wich includes poems by Sylvia Plath and James Dickey also includes poem by my professor! and my point is. You were drinking and you not in Canda and your underage. what you did was illegal! Don't make me come over and punish you!

Warpy The Bald>>>Lion around Narnia? ::GROAN!:: and well I think its cool you collect swords, my brother collects knives.
Calliope >>>I'm pretty durn fine!

Well gotta go, I just finished my third glass of wine, and oh yeah. I'm Legal!

howdy all, thought id drop by for a sec to tell you the news..
okay well you know my dads been in france for the past "few days" (aka two weeks..) with his girlfriend. he hasnt written or called. (first of all, just exactly HOW angry do you think HE would be with ME if *I* was the one who hadnt called for two weeks while in a foreign country?? not even a "hello, we got here and the aeroplane didnt crash" for 10 seconds phonecall. *fuuuuuume*)
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway, it was AWFUL nice of him to call when he got home last night. he called from his girlfriends house, to tell me that he was back (how nice) and that i had to come home and go to a party that he was putting on. i said i would try because i was working and all but id like to see him again and spend some time before school starts (seeing as how ive, you know, seen him ONCE all summer.. and he is my father and all that..)
the library is closing.. anyway, to make a long story short he wants me to go to the party because its his engagement party, then he hung up and i was in stunned silence for about 30 seconds, then began to cry my eyes out.
im a little better now but the shock still hasnt worn off.
okay, i have to go now though, i see the lady coming to kick me off.
more later, maybe tomorrow.

Merry day, everyone. Taking a brief break from writing GURPS stuff... for a con I'll be attending in late October. :)

Revel: The Duncan MacLeod sword, eh? I don't think I've seen that one, actually. еѕ Oh, well... tell'im to check out www.brubakers.com - they've got some good-looking swords there. (But stay away from the 69$ cane swords - they're a lot crummier than they appear.)

DPH: Actually, I'm pondering getting the Titan Eagle designed. It's a heavily armored car with a custom 25mm cannon on the roof, and hovercraft accessories, to boot.

Jan: Personality test: I'm yellow, with a blue streak. ;)

Fleur: It's not strange that Aslan walked funny, you know. He was lion all around Narnia. };)

Gside: Monkey boy... hmmm... I like that idea... };)

Fire Storm: Try downloading it again... I tried tweaking it a little... As for the Triplette Special - it's a *handgun*, with a single trigger. If it were larger, of *course* I wouldn't use conventional ammunition for all three barrels. }:)

Josh: Here, the checks come in monthly. I think that's caused by having women in beureaucratic positions. (True! I have not heard of a single man working in the relevant agencies for the past five years!) As for the Creation/microwave issue - how do you explain the fact that a *lot* of the people here are older than you? Think well about the answer, lest I'll be forced to have at you with my cane, you young whipper-snapper, you. };)

Lady Mystic: Ooooh, the profile bit is ready? Yay! After post, I shall try to find out when I first joined this CR... It's been a while, now... :)

That about concludes my post, anyway. Cheerio.

*Archwolf enters, holding a magazine and chuckling.*

Hey all. Anyone seen the August 2001 IEEE Spectrum? THere is an article in there on Microshaft and Open Source. MS says that Open Source is "Un-american and a cancer". So all us Linux, BSD, Hotmail, and Dos users are bad guys. Why do I include Hotmail and DOS? Well, for starters, it is quite obvious in some places that DOS based itself off of BSD. just look at the command names and uses. Why Hotmail? Because it also uses opens source material, just like the majority of all free-mail and internet utilites. Now, if 'Shaft can use those open source-baddies, why can't we? This here article has some good points about how MS is loosing a lot of it's market. Until recently it owned 92% of the pc market. That has dropped. web services, liscense revenues, all down. I'm so glad I can use linux for most of my work. All I have to use winblows for is word processing and VC++. Which I only use now and again. for all my regular c/c++ work, i just use GNU C. Which is, btw, another open source product.

anywho.

Had a blast last weekend, attending a renn fest with my Heather. Aingeal and her dragon were there too, but we didnt' see them much. We all went in garb, and had a great time interacting with merchants, revelers, and eveyrone else. We were mistaken as workers at one point. That was amusing. The combat coreography left much to be desired, but it was till fun. And, I picked up a cut-n-thrust. it's the transition from broadsword to rapier. Much fun. Can be used as a sharp bludgeon, like the broadsword, or as a prescise, if heavy and fairly slow, point weapon. So I've been spending my time recently working on cuts, thrust, oiling, and so on. So warps, if you are planning on going to g02, maybe we finally can have that duel.

Moving back up to school tomorrow. This should be fun. The bursar's office has put a hold on all of my payment checks, and didnt' tell me till today when i called in to ask why the hell none of my payments had been posted. they said that there was some sort of 'do not disburse' note attached to my file, but figured i already knew that and knew why, so they didn't send me any kind of notification. They also refused to look into why it was tagged that way. So tomorrow, I'm bringing my blade into the bursars office and going to be cutting..erm, _talking_ some sense into people. But once all that is settled, I'll finaly be back to T1 connections 24/7

Lessee...anything else to add...nope. I guess I'm out for now. Talk at yins guys later. Peace

** Niamhgold enters quickly **

All right, I'm going to be leaving in a few. But I took a break, and took that color personality test:

"You are definitely a RED personality. You have a strong secondary color, which is blue." Meaning:
- Reds Are Hungry For Power
Simply stated, Reds want their own way. If they have been raised in environments where they were able to manipulate their parents and siblings, they become difficult to manage as they get older. When they have gotten their way for too long, Reds find it almost impossible to relinquish their power and freedom when they meet authorities in society (teachers, bosses, police, clergy, military officers) who refuse to grant them the total control they demand.

- Reds Want To Be Productive
Reds like to work - in school, in their careers, and in their relationships. Just don't expect them to attach the same importance to things other people care about - like other people's schooling, careers, and marraiges. But give them a reason to produce, and watch them take off. Reds like to get the job done. They are often workaholics. They will, however, resist being forced to do anything that doesn't interest them.

- Reds Want To Look Good To Others
Reds need to appear knowledgeable. They crave approval from others for their intelligence and insight. They want to be respected even more than they want to be loved. They want to be admired for their logical, practical minds. When you deal with a Red, be precise and factual. Reds are unmotivated by tears and other displays of "weakness."

- Reds Shouldn't Be Taken Too Seriously
Reds are often just stating the facts as they see them, despite their antagonistic demeanor. They seldom say "in my opinion" before stating their opinions. I have seen too many Blues, Whites, and Yellows become greatly concerned over issues raised by Reds, only to discover later that the Reds were simply interested in debating. Reds enjoy a good power play. But once you get emotionally involved arguing issues, you may be disappointed and frustrated to find that a Red is no longer interested.

- Reds Seek Leadership Opportunities
Despite the rigidity of the military, many young Red men and women select it as a career in order to experience leadership. Reds are often called "control freaks." They like to be in the drivers seat. Red children are often frustrated in school because teachers (often Blue personalities) won't let them take charge. If a Red can get the upper hand, he or she will. Reds are willing to pay any price for an opportunity to lead

Okay, I so did not even consider that I would be a red ;) I figured maybe a purple or a blue. I always thought I was a wuss ;)

Anyways, thanks Jan for the test link! And I'm off :)

***** TGS CR INFO UPDATE *****

I apologize in advance for any incoherent comments. I'm dead tired, but feel I should announce as much news as I can. If I have forgotten anything I will be sure to post it at the next available moment.

NEW FEATURES!

The TGS CR Members section has been added, including graphical calendars for each month, a text-only events list, a submission form, and a profiles section.

>> http://tgs.gargoyles-fans.org/cr/members/

The submission form isn't functional, but it is up to give you an idea of what will be asked. Please tell me what you think about the topics and form fields so that I may tailor the form to your needs. Make sure to direct all comments to "Lady Mystic" so that I won't miss your remarks. Or send them to lady-mystic@usa.net. Thanks.

>> http://tgs.gargoyles-fans.org/cr/members/submit.html

There are 4 fake profiles of fictitious personas (personal data invented by the imaginative Fire Storm). These profiles are only temporary and were made to give you an idea of what the profile pages will look like. Your profile will be as unique as your post. It will be presented in your post's text color with a thumbnail of your post's image. This also applies to those who use multiple text colors and images and combinations thereof, including those who don't use any. View the sample profiles for an idea of what your profiles will look like.

>> http://tgs.gargoyles-fans.org/cr/members/profiles/

The graphical calendars are designed to match the layout of any given year. Currently, they coincide with the dates of 2001. This was done for convenience and to guard against confusion. As part of the sample profiles, the fictitious personas' events were included in the calendars. Peruse the calendars to find them. You may also visit a fictitious member's profile by clicking on their entry within the calendar date.

>> http://tgs.gargoyles-fans.org/cr/members/calendar/

For those of you who prefer to bypass graphics, a text only events list, including additional events (those that were unable to be added in the calendars) and details (such as year and time) was created. You will also find fake entries of the fictitious members included within the list. This was done, just as in all other times, to give you an idea of how data will look and be implemented into the feature.

>> http://tgs.gargoyles-fans.org/cr/members/calendar/events.html

A guidelines page was made dealing with submitting and editing profiles, the submission process, eligibility, deletion, and problems associated with the members' area in general. Rather than re-post what I have written on the page, please read it, paying particular attention to "Eligibility" and "Deletion." These sections of the document address concerns that have not yet been resolved. Tell me your ideas, no matter how miniscule they might seem. (Make sure to address them to "Lady Mystic". Or send them to lady-mystic@usa.net.) I would like these issues solved before any profiles are accepted. Thank you.

http://tgs.gargoyles-fans.org/cr/members/guidelines.html

Additional categories designed around member data (similar to the calendar of events) will be added in the future. Some of those categories will be: location, gender, and possibly a few others as I see fit. These were not included in this update due to lack of data.

Again, everything in the members' section was designed with feedback in mind. Please send me feedback (in here or to lady-mystic@usa.net) so that I may improve any features that need improvement *before* we start accepting submissions. Thank you.

UPDATES!

Navigation on every single page within the TGS CR Information section has been updated to accommodate the newly added Members' section. And JavaScript jump-to navigation on every necessary page has been cosmetically altered. A few other revisions are worth noting.

The CR Archive has been updated to include weeks up to Saturday, August 48, 2001 for a total of 2 weeks added to the 2001 database (8/4 - 8/11 and 8/11 - 8/18).

>> http://tgs.gargoyles-fans.org/cr/archive/2001/

The CR Timeline has been updated to include a number of new events, such as the creation and revision of CR and RP rules, an approximate timeframe RP started in the forum, and the first time TGS CR Information was added to the TGS website. I also added email addresses to all names mentioned within the page and altered how some events were described. The layout of the content has also been altered. Events are now sectioned off by year and the method of which events are listed has been changed.

>> http://tgs.gargoyles-fans.org/cr/timeline.html

The Pic Request Information page has been totally redone. There is now more complete information on requesting images and meeting requests. Please follow the guidelines stated on the page if you ever want to make a CR pic request or fulfill one. FYI, I may have forgotten to include some information, so this page may be updated once more before the guidelines are complete.

>> http://tgs.gargoyles-fans.org/cr/pic_request.html

The introductory text at the top of the Rules page was changed for accuracy. It now includes the original creator of CR rules, and the people who revised and edited the data. Fear not, because the rules themselves were left untouched.

>> http://tgs.gargoyles-fans.org/cr/rules.html

The introductory text at the top of the Text Colors page was re-written for comprehensive reasons. Nothing else was changed.

>> http://tgs.gargoyles-fans.org/cr/colors.html

Links to archived weeks were added to the dates mentioned on the Polls pages. Additionally, background color for table cells of each statistics page was changed from gray to blue.

>> http://tgs.gargoyles-fans.org/cr/polls/

Two images listed on the Unknown Artists pages were omitted. The original illustration of the cut CR image of Peter Mason (both colored and B&W) was indeed done by Christi Smith Hayden. I have contacted the listed artists for confirmation and await their replies.

>> http://tgs.gargoyles-fans.org/cr/images/unknown.html

Pages within the Images and Other Images sections now indicate at the top of the page (not to be confused with the browser window's title bar) which letters you are viewing.

>> http://tgs.gargoyles-fans.org/cr/images/
>> http://tgs.gargoyles-fans.org/cr/other/

Many other alterations have been made throughout the Information section and won't be mentioned due to their insignificant nature.

::Listening to Blink 182's "Cheshire Cat"::

Hey folks!

Color test: RED personality, with blue as a weak secondary color. Apparently this is the most difficult color combination (maybe this is why girls I date think I'm such an enigma) and it says that I might feel guilty after mercilessly stepping on someone's toes.

Of course, they don't know that I don't understand guilt.

But its interesting that I'm a RED personality and I post in red...

Anyway, today was probably the single most productive day I've ever had (or will ever have). After waking up at 11, I scheduled the maid for a few hours tomorrow (not cheap, but for two bachelors well worth it) and called Pacific Bell. Once my roommate woke up, we went to the DMV and changed his registration so he could get a parking permit. Then we went to Costco. Then it was off to the parking permit place to get a sticker for Mike's car. After that it was back the apartment to unload a bit of stuff and then eat lunch. Mike prepared grilled peppers and grilled black bean chicken on his new George Forman grill. That thing is AMAZING! Not to mention easy to clean (that's my job).

After lunch, we were out again. We hit the hardware store, IKEA, and the student bookstore.

DAMN those books are expensive: big honkin hard cover textbooks for 5 engineering classes...OUCH. Thank god someone else pays for them.

At IKEA we got new curtains for our living room to reduce glare on the TV and I finally picked up the armrests for the chair I bought a year ago. When I was there last time, a year ago, they had the chair but no armrests. They told me to come back next week and pick them. At this point, "zoo" didn't even BEGIN to describe the IKEA that opened up about 20 minutes from UC Berkeley and its 30,000 students. So I told them to shove it and walked off with just the chair. We also checked out a new sofa: black leather with a pull out bed. My roommate will be splitting that with his mom (cuz quite frankly I can't afford to shell out for a new sofa). As soon as we order it, we go into frenzy mode trying to disassemble the one in our apartment and get it out. We can't exactly carry it down 4 flights of stairs, as it weighs WAY TOO MUCH. Mike's also looking into a new dinner table. Whatever, its his money. As far as I'm concerned, only the TV needs upgrading ;-)

::listening to Blink 182's "Dude Ranch":: Their last album before they sold out and sucked.

The amazing part about this whole day is that there were no lines anywhere. We were at the DMV for 10 minutes. No lines at Costco, the bookstore, even IKEA. Its like the city was dead. Pretty cool.

We met the new guy moving in down the hall. ANOTHER mac user named MIKE! I now have 5 friends named Mike. 3 of whom live within 30 feet of me. I don't think I can handle this.

Also...MY COMPUTER CAME IN TODAY! Unfortunately, it came in to my dad's office in LA. He promptly turned it around and it should arrive here saturday or monday. I just hope someone's around to pick it up. Cuz it would SUCK if we weren't. The good news is that any of 6 people can sign for it while I'm away, so I should be good.

That was pretty much my whole day: running errands. Tomorrow will be hanging around while the maid is here, then a trip to Safeway (we still don't have milk and eggs), then a call to my friend out in the boonies of the East Coast. I really don't think there's anything else do, except possibly work if I want.

On to replies!

Xanathar: <<Do you guys know them over there?>>: Never heard of them. The only Aussie band I know of is Living End. <<Everybody's got thier own vision of true love,the same as everybody's got thier own vision of Utopia,everyone's got different tastes>>: And as my friend Terry says, "There's no accounting for tastes". <>: Sadly, I won't be finding out, as I didn't shell out the extra cash for the GeForce3. I'm "stuck" with a "lowly" 32 meg GeForce 2. Ya know, its funny. Every new computer I buy quadruples the amount of VRAM in the previous computer. <>: Join the club. <<they made up for it by having a small Voltron Mpeg on there to YAY!>>: I WANT!

Lynati: <<my computer, which was missing from my locked storage unit upon my return to Kansas City>>: SUCK! The moral of the story: Don't leave anything valuable ANYWHERE. Sorry.

Baldy: <<welfare troubles>>: In THIS country we get welfare checks weekly. <<As for Josh, I *suppose* I could fit him in as your apprentice, maybe? Or just your slaveboy>>: I am no MAN's slaveboy...a hot chick maybe though. If I was actually gettin' some. <<few magi have much knowledge about blacksmithing>>: The ones involved in the creation of magical weapons usually do. <<people prepared food before the microwave>>: No they didn't. Because Creation occured at the moment of my birth. Since there were microwaves when I was born, there must always have been microwaves.

Gavin: <<Humans serve the cats>>: No, they serve the cows. Even take care of breeding for them.

The Wizard: <<Foolish people at NCIA>>: People who work for ISP's suck...DOH! <<Josh, got yours>>: So I see. <<shall probably be online by Sunday>>: UGH. Two days no service!? <>: Idiots. Of course, if you had a mac it'd be a lot easier...but then you knew I was gonna say that.

Revel: I love your little "?" tests before you post. <<So far my new roomie is being friendly and I have seen no reasons so far as to take action in scaring him away>>: ...yet. Give him time. <<The carpet smelled like swamp all year. "Grab the airwick!>>: You sure that wasn't the weed? <<a knock off of the Duncan Macleod sword>>: A knock off? But THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE! <<We raped the cattle and slaughtered the women!>>: Oops.

Sorow: <<yes Josh, in Texas>>: ::shudder:: Have fun! <>: There is NOTHING quite like that feeling. There are some things better (chocolate) and some things worse...but nothing quite the same.

Jan: <<do not listen to Josh - he has never even been to Texas!>>: a) that doesn't stop me from commenting and b) experience would not make people take me any more seriously. <<maybe THIS is why you don't have a girlfriend?>>: Maybe, but I'm betting on it being a racial thing ;-) <<whatta' pig>>: You don't know the half of it, dear. <>: For $36, its a waste of your time. No matter how rich you are. Your time is worth more than that. <<Any ideas of who might have taken it?>>: A thief. <>: Another reason I'm never having children. I couldn't stand to curse someone with my visage. <<maybe one of those bow and arrow sets with the rubber suction tips>>: Fun...until you end up with a suction cup on your forehead. <>: Thanks. I'll need it.

DPH: <<time travel can be quite benefecial to keeping you in power>>: This is true. But the second it gets used by someone other than me...its all over. <<why not just drive a tank everywhere?>>: Mmmmm...Suburban Soccer Moms with no driving skills: BEWARE! <<No need to worry about finding parking or about cops pulling you over for speeding>>: No, you get pulled over for a) not having any plates, b) driving too slowly, c) carrying a weapon in public, and d) no brake lights. <<I'm a yellow and white>>: Hippy!

Greg: <<I'm a Red>>: Commie bastard! ;-) Actually, I'm not real surprised by that. We're too darn similar.

Cali: <<must work on my mental persuasion forces again, they're getting rusty>>: You have great potential, young jedi. <<the sun can be your friend>>: Or my greatest nemesis. <<Wah! Your mean>>: Der. <<what's amazing to me is that you dont tire of say it>>: Never. <<you people are so deprived of love and human contact>>: Why the HFIL do you think we're in here? <<the funny thing is I'm not compleatly sure thats a negative reply>>: Let me put it this way: I'd rather watch TRL than listen to them. <<Hvae you ever herd of a band called Splender?>>: Nope.

Ravyn: <<Thanks for the well-wishes, Gside and Josh>>: No problem. <<still worrying like heck over *everything.*>>: From one worrier to another, let me tell you to calm down. Worrying doesn't help much. And NOT worrying makes your life SO much easier. <<so THAT'S what guys think of marriage, huh>>: Actually, no. I would NEVER expect my wife to clean. It'd be nice if she cooked, but quite frankly I'd leave the cleaning to a professional. <<Why am I always the guy-ish kind of thing?>>: I'm telling you, its because of the engineer thing. <<Honest, I'm REAL! Really>>: I believe you. But I've seen you. He hasn't.

Siofra: <>: I started just 15 hours before I left. <<he only lives about 45 minutes from my dorm, so he'll come to visit me a lot>>: Amazingly enough, my last girlfriend lived only 20 minutes from my apartment, and I still couldn't see her often enough...cursed parents. <<how many of us in here are college students?>>: Obviously its gonna be a large percentage. In order to match free time, internet skills, and maturity, college is kind of a requirement. <>: Always happy to entertain a pretty face. <<Someone who finally understands what we do! I'm so sick of explaining it to everyone>>: I'm a Mac Zealot (TM). If *I* don't understand industrial design, you've no hope for the rest of the world ;-) <<Why do all of you engineers have something against us hippies>>: Why!? Do you even HAVE to ask!? Every time we come up with something brilliant, you punks get together and protest it for some obscure problem that it has. Nevermind the fact that the benefits FAR outweigh any problems or that the alternatives are either impossible with current technology, unfeasible, or too expensive. The rest of the hippy stuff I really don't have a problem with. <<My engin friend says the same damn thing to me>>: Without telling him what I said, ask him why he hates hippies. I'd like to know what he says. <>: On my car I used to have a darwin fish with fangs hanging down instead of legs...it said "Vampire" in the center. <>: Just severely!? I'd kill someone. Without even thinking about it.

Fleur: <<What kind of evil tag-team is this?!>>: I dunno, but by all means lets get 'em in the wrestling ring. <<I've heard some exists. Somewhere>>: I don't believe you. <<It's going to say 'Dark Prince of Vinyl'. Who cares if you need it or not?>>: Heh. <<Not the playboy variety!>>: How about just the variety that has sex all the time? <<I'd be working out a way to throw them (and their baggage) out of said houses and cars>>: Think I'm not!? <<Procrastinators of the world unite! ... Later>>: LOL. <<It's not enough man... I need more!>>: Fanfiction.net. <<that one's going to get you into trouble>>: I certainly hope so! <<you've got the button-pressing trick>>: I'm good with pushing buttons. In general, I can read people well enough to know which buttons to press to get the desired results. <<My favourite was the gender test - it said I'm definately a...man!!! *laughs helplessly for a loong time.*>>: Are you? <<Ah, the CR is complete again>>: The seventh sign!

::Listening to Boy Hits Car self titled album::

FS: <>: Well, "atrium" is an entryway. Which would make NO sense for that area, since its 2000 feet up. I can't think of anything that would start with S to describe that. <<if I can't get it built with everything in it like that, why order a computer>>: Because then at least the board and original parts are covered by a warranty. <<A few GB. Most of the servers here at work have only 512>>: Apple towers hold 1.5 gig. <<*4* processors! .25TB of drive space! 8GB of ram! HUGE redundant power supplies!>>: There is some speculation that quad-processor g4s are on the way. As for hard drive space, you can fit 4 ata's and 3 scsi's in my roommate's machine, that's (the largest ATA drive right now for purchase by the public is 100 GB, and 150 for SCSI), 4(100) + 3(150) =
0.85 TB with current technology (my tower only holds 2 ata's and a scsi, which is still .35 TB max with current technology. Then you've got 2 firewire ports that can support 63 hard drives each, that's another 1.26 TB, and each USB port can support 127 hard drives, for 25.4 TB. There are 5 PCI slots, and if you put a 4-port FW card in each one, you could have 20*63*100 more gigs, or 126 TB. Total, that's 152.93 TB. How's THAT for storage?! Nevermind that the system would bankrupt Bill Gates. <<5'x5'x10'>>: I'd need a box about that size to hold all the external HD's. <<you know you want to snuggle with your roomate>>: Um, no. <<Shall I add that optional attatchment... just incase you decide otherwise>>: That won't be necessary. <<she may think you don't want sex enough>>: She's not supposed to think. <<Nuke the women>>: Tempting, but as the old adage says, "I can't live without them". <<Data sucks sometimes. And not in the yaoi way.>>: True. <<My tri-barreled gun will be a combo rifle, grenade/morter launcher, shotgun>>: But can it make criss-cut fries? <<Is he stayin somewhere at all>>: Just a-sittin by the dock of the bay. <<A virgin is a terrible thing to waste>>: Unless you're the one doing the wasting... <>: Liar.

Gside: <<an african porcupine>>: Was it a flying attack porcupine? <<Long hair probably doesn't look too slick on me>>: It doesn't. <<just got my IP for next year>>: Would you mind doing me a favor and setting up a pr()n server? <<Not too bad. I chopped my left hand with a hedgetrimmer. You?>>: LOL. Great description. <<Even statics? Or did we cure you of that yet>>: I have dynamics this semester, the class after statics. I looked through my text book already...what a JOKE. This will be my 5th redundant physics class since arriving at Berkeley. <<Right brains and left brains do not mix well>>: I don't think that's it. I have lots of right brainer friends. Its a PARTICULAR type of right brainer that doesn't mesh. <<Great minds think alike?>>: Indeed they do.

<Actually, skip my last post. You can absolutely get all that stuff internal. What you can't get is all that stuff built-in from Apple. But the stuff I mentioned in the other post is what you CAN get built in from Apple.>
Well, if I can't get it built with everything in it like that, why order a computer?
<By the way, how much is "more RAM than most servers"?>
A few GB. Most of the servers here at work have only 512.
But the big ones...

5'x5'x10'!

True!
<Not too realistic, I hope. Real females have obnoxious things like inhibitions and needs>
Na. Although, she may think you don't want sex enough!
"Come on! PLEASE! I need it NOW!"
"But we just finished!"
<But they have an access code so that only *I* can use the ones I buy, right?>
Of course! Each one will be tied to their owners. If you want yours to have fun with others, it can. BUT it will not make a decision to have sex with others.
<LOL. Perhaps. That, and the women>
Nuke the women? ;)
<A good term! Data should have used that line in "The Naked Now".>
Yeah. Data sucks sometimes. And not in the yaoi way.
<If he puts it on all of them, they'll spend too much time on each other and not enough on me.>
Like I said, they will do that for your amusement!

Warpmind: <That's odd... yours is the only system that has that problem? I thought Zlurp! was likely to avoid any codec problems... hmmm... I'll look into it again... Maybe there was some freaky setting in the encryption... >
Haven't had a chance to try it on another system yet.
BUT I downloaded and installed Zlurp! and it didn't work.

Sheet, man. Is he stayin somewhere at all?

He has a brother?
<Watch Farscape. They're the little maintenance droids on leviathans. Essentially large hockey pucks with eyes.>

I wonder if there is a help group for people like that.

The irony of it, then, is that I am not unsimphatetic with these concerns...but for sure I don't like the way they express them. My sympathies on your test.

(Lion, Witch & Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, Voyage of the Dawn Treader and Silver Chair.) Good show, though, wouldn't you say? :)< Oh yeah. They were played in chunks when I saw it last, so they lasted long enough to be a miniseries, which is probably why I thought it was. Yeah, I loved the show, even if Aslan walked funny ;).

Wow, I just realized the other day that I am moving back to school next Wednesday... better get packing! I'm pretty excited about classes and seeing my friends, but I'm kind of sad to leave home again. Especially since my boyfriend and I have had another year together, so we'll miss each other that much more. It'll be okay though, because he only lives about 45 minutes from my dorm, so he'll come to visit me a lot ;-)
Just out of of curiosity, how many of us in here are college students? There seem to be quite a few...

Josh: <<::does stupid whiteboy jig:: >> Hehe, I'm an Irish dancer, and I got a really funny visual off of that one.
<<Industrial design is not based entire on form. Its based on the combination of form and function. >> Woo! Someone who finally understands what we do! I'm so sick of explaining it to everyone!
<<Damn hippies!>> Why do all of you engineers have something against us hippies?! My engin friend says the same damn thing to me!

Imzadi - time travel can be quite benefecial to keeping you in power. Eliminate would-be resistance before they ever have a chance to organize against you. As along as you subtly kill them back in time, no person will ever catch on and no resistance will ever be formed.

Warpmind - why not just drive a tank everywhere? No need to worry about finding parking or about cops pulling you over for speeding.

(-1)+(-1)=3

SOROW - I haven't started a job search yet. I am hoping to learn something new at a workshop for laid off employees before starting a job search. It was too depressing last time.

Sorrow> congrats on arriving at the awesome UT! =) You made an excellent choice *nodnodnod* and certainly do not listen to Josh - he has never even been to Texas! ;p

Revel> where are you attending school? I tried to guess but a 4.5 hours radius from Houston could be one of several schools! *L*

Josh> <<Why do you think we get married!? ;-) >> maybe THIS is why you don't have a girlfriend?? *chuckles* whatta' pig.... *L*
IRS - I received my $600 check minus $36 that they said I still owed. Ummm.. no. I have all receipts and such showing that I owed $0. I haven't decided whether or not to pursue this - sometimes fighting the IRS is just plain suicide. I don't particularly care to have an audit done for the next 10 years.

Rayvn> *hugs* argh.. what's the deal with Coyote? He's in the middle of a move? I'm going to be without internet for a few days and I'm already twitching at the thought of it.

Lynati> ohhhman! *groans in sympathy* I'm really sorry to hear about your computer being stolen =\ Any ideas of who might have taken it?

DPH> how's the job search going?

Anna and I went for her ultrasound this morning. At first the radiologist wasn't sure but after the baby moved and turned - it was very obvious that the baby is a BOY! He looks like an alien ;) There was a particularly ugly shot of him and I blurted out, "looks like the father!" hehe
The father of this child is so damn ugly, I live in fear that the child will look like him. I'm going to go broke buying expensive clothes for this child... so people will notice his clothes instead of his looks (if he looks like his father) Of course, I will think he's the most handsome baby ever born but that will be my pride talking. Reality will say that he's ugly. Have I mentioned that the father is ugly? ;) I dunno, maybe he has a nice personality... I don't know because I have no desire to find out at this time.
So now I'm going to be buying some Tonka trucks or maybe one of those bow and arrow sets with the rubber suction tips.. =)

The current residents at the house I'm buying was not moved out this past weekend like they were instructed to be... so it will be this upcoming weekend before they move out. This has delayed me a week in getting the remodeling done before purchasing the house. *grumbles* I signed the purchase contract today but the funds won't be available for another couple of weeks. I'm excited and antsy to get started on the house.

Fire Storm> thanks for the link on the wallpaper selection! I found some border that I'm going to order from there :)
My side-by-side - *L* Den said the same thing about how I could hide more bodies in there ;)
TMJ - nope, didn't have any medical work done for it, it finally went away on it's own. I do have ocassional problems with it, but I've learned how to head it off before it becomes as bad as it was that one time. I still can't open my mouth very wide. I even have to use the child size x-ray cards at the dentist.

Christine> awwww how cute for Becca! I can't wait to see pictures!! *hint hint* ;)

Safe journey to all of those who are traveling back to school now and congrats to those who have arrived safely. I hope that each of you have a wonderful and awesome year :)

Well after a blister four and a half hours on the road I have arrived once again at school. Iknow I don't expect anyone to jump up and down since many others are in the same perdicament. Although to my surprise they actually did renovate my building like they said they would and it looks good. So far my new roomie is being friendly and I have seen no reasons so far as to take action in scaring him away. I still have to decorate the walls but that is an art in itself since they are practically concrete and tape does not stick. It's a students life for me!

Josh- leaky apartment ehe? My first experience in this dorm last year was when the water pipe broke in the wall and we had to get everything off the floor. The carpet smelled like swamp all year. "Grab the airwick!"

Sorrow- I hope you enjoy UT, I have several friends who are either there or at A&M, of course I just named half the students in this state.

Warp the Bald- My brother is just getting into sword collection as a hobby. The first one he bought was a knock off of the Duncan Macleod sword but you have to start some where.
Kyryn- I 'll take you up on that Texas Pickup offer if you have the time.

Anyways...Stephen, got the emails (thank you very much!), Josh, got yours, and will hopefully respond in both a post and a few emails later tonight. I leave for Baltimore tomorrow night and shall probably be online by Sunday. I say probably, because the techs at our school always manage to mess up ;)

Ah, well, will give me a chance to get to know the new roomies!!

*Warpmind enters, aggravated, infuriated and generally in a crummy mood.*
Okay, today I learned that because I worked last month, I'm not getting a welfare check this month. Instead, I'm getting a paycheck next month. While the idea is fair enough in THEORY, the PRACTICAL bit of it lacks a certain something... such as for instance MONEY FOR ME FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS!!! :( There ya have it. Thanks to a bureaucratic f*ckup, I have no money for the next two weeks. (Not counting the almost-two dollars in my bank account.) Guhh... I'm entering Lainland here... *Grumble* *Blink* On the bright side, that means I'll get a little more money NEXT month... but STILL!!! *Grmf*

Onward to post...

DPH: Not bothering to duplicate it. Just curious about what it'd cost with the GURPS rules. }:) And I don't have plans to design any cars yet. Maybe I'll manage to figure out how to make the Triplette Special, though. (Tri-barreled .25 caliber pistol; single trigger, triple clip Very scary design.)

Gside: Naw, really obnoxious people not counting, I'm unlikely to ever use my air pistol on any moving targets... ;) As for Josh, I *suppose* I could fit him in as your apprentice, maybe? Or just your slaveboy. Slavery's not really outlawed in the gameworld. };)

Christine: Maybe the original owner didn't realize what a rotten quality the sword was? (Last I checked, few magi have much knowledge about blacksmithing...)

Josh: How I eat without a microwave? Dude, people prepared food before the microwave. *Begins rubbing two sticks together.*

Lynati: Uncalled For has been stolen? :( Awww... nothing else missing, I hope?

That about concludes my post. Must begone now. Must wrestle with MIDI composition tool, to try to learn it... (I'm toneblind. I can't read sheet music.)

*walks into the CR with the sound of "Everyday Formula"blazing from his discman*

Hi all!!

I had a great weekend,I went to see Regurgitator play(Do you guys know them over there?,just curious)at a bar in the city,and then I spent the rest of the weekend with friends at their place,I'm Sorry I haven't been in for a few days but as I mentioned last night,I've had a very busy week.

Niamhgold:<<Awesome, man. Why kind of music do they play (can you remember? ;))? I always used to love going to my friend Austin's concerts. He had a band named "Swell 36.">>they were kinda like powderfinger(from what fragments I remember. ;) ) <<Ah, I'm sorry. But maybe true love is one in which you feel free to do what you like, when you like, without a guilt trip (although it's still good to be there every once and a while).>>Everybody's got thier own vision of true love,the same as everybody's got thier own vision of Utopia,everyone's got different tastes.

Warpmind:<<True, Sam and Max was funny, too, but not as much as DOTT. And the Monkey Island series was great, BUT... the fourth game killed it. :(>>agreed,I didn't even bother to finish the last one,it didn't really feel the same.

Wilek:Welcome back dude!!!!:)<<I have that! ^_^ What really blew me away was the graphics; they were mind-blowing even on my pathetic little PII-450 with a Voodoo Banshee video card. I can just imagine what they'll be like on an NVidia GeForce 3...<rivers of drool> The Serious engine's graphics abilities must be really efficient.>>I've played it on an Athlon 800 and it's F&*%^$g sweet!,the rooms on some levels are literally swarming with monsters and there is no slow down at all!!

Happy birthday Todd and Greg and anyone else I may have missed.

Todd:<>I remember that ep!.....Damn,I'm old.;)

Fleur:Sorry to hear that you've been sick lately,take care ok.<<WHO STARTED THE DR CLAW THREAD?!?! I now have the theme song to Inspector Gadget running amok through my head!! do do do do do, 'Inspector Gadget'... ARRGGHHH!!!>>I know how you feel,my friends have the Inspector Gadget theme song on their PC,and have been playing it regularly.*covers ears and winces*(but they made up for it by having a small Voltron Mpeg on there to YAY!! :) )

::Listening to BTE's "How Does Your Garden Grow?"::

Hey folks!

I'm in Berkeley and alive, still. Nice try, though, but the bat-computer detected the sugar in the gas tank.

We didn't have any trouble fitting everything in the car, but THANK GOD my computer hasn't arrived yet (I never thought I'd EVER say that one) because I would have had to ride on the roof.

We left at about 11AM and the drive took 5.5 hours, including two stops (one for lunch and one for gas). It took us a long time to move all the stuff up the 4 flights of stairs (no elevator) to the apartment, partly because we're lazy but also because we spent a lot of time cleaning the place and setting stuff up.

Our friends Vinay and Mike (a different Mike, not my roommate) have moved in directly below us. This is cool because a) we have someone else in the building to talk to, b) because we don't have to worry about how loud our music is, and c) because we can devise creative ways to stick it to DirecTV. They cooked dinner for us, and I suspect the meal thing will go back and forth between rooms. That's nice because I only have to do the dishes 1/2 the time...though there will be twice as many dishes when I do.

We found out that in order to have a second receiver attached to our dish, both have to be connected to the phone line so DTV can verify that they're in the same location instead of in different houses. I'm not gonna say why this is a bother, but if you can put 2 and 2 together, you should be able to figure it out.

When I got into the apartment, I discovered that the phone didn't work and that the toilet had a leak that sprayed water all over the bathroom floor when you flushed. We figured out the problem with the phone was a busted splitter and replaced it, and we called the manager and he sent the plumber right up. So that was all good.

We managed to get the apartment relatively clean except for the kitchen and the bathroom...and we're calling a professional housekeeping service tomorrow to take care of those. Yeah, its expensive, but Mike and I have both found ourselves with additional cash and as Mike's dad says, "Every man needs a maid".

Why do you think we get married!? ;-)

In my mail I found several letters from the IRS indicating that I owed them money on the whopping $(insert small number) of income I actually had last year. Apparently, I filed late and didn't ask for an extension...or rather my dad's accountant filed my forms late and didn't ask for an extension. Those bastards wanted $24.98! Oh well, at least the accountant will reimburse me because he screwed up.

Tomorrow will involve getting the maid here, doing some food shopping, registering Mike's car so he can park up here, calling PacBell and making changes to my phone account, and probably setting up DirecTV. Maybe if I have time I'll go buy books or who knows what else.

On to replies!

Lady Mystic: <<she wants to update the info page and archive, but she only has a few more pages to do>>: Already!? Damn! I can't wait to see it.

Queen of Pain: <>: Awesome. What was the final damage on the books? <<guess what I'm going to have my wisdoms removed>>: I have one word for you. I suggest you repeat this word to your dentist. The word is: VICODIN! <<your not in Canada anymore... your still underage young man.>>: Your point? <<Computer being shipped while you at school. Isn't that typical?>>: Better that than arriving before I left.

Baldy: <>: How do you eat?! <<got any other ideas?>>: On occasion. I'll have my people call your people.

Ravyn: <<I'm not in too good a mood tonight>>: Sorry to hear that. Feel better.

DPH: <<next thing I know, you'll be trying to block time-travel, too>>: That would put a serious crimp in my plans for world domination. <<why bother duplicating a batmobile?>>: Because its cool. <>: Combined with the Lotus from James Bond in "The Spy Who Loved Me". Now THAT would be a car. <<Pretender/Profiler/(I forget what's on USA at that same time slot?>>: I don't know about USA, but Pretender is on TNT or TBS (I can't remember which) at 4PM EST. <>: They do. Unfortunately, those audiences are VERY small.

Gside: <<Check out Super Taboo #6>>: ? <<My last (paid) haircut lasted me several years>>: Yeah, but I don't think long hair would look to slick on me. <<But women have that whole yaoi obsession going, so you switch sides then get convinced to be converted back>>: That only works in the movies. <<your enemies must be thrown in a vat of boiling sharks>>: Hmmm.... <<What do you think hamsters are for>>: Dancing. <<do you have anything to add to its accuracy>>: Nope, it was flawless. <<Sadly it didn't. I'm set up for EDev, LinSys, and ProgMeth next semester>>: You have the balls to call engineering profs sadists when in reality you're just a masochist. <<Maybe you could be surounded by beautiful women. As a harem eunich>>: HEY!

Okay folks, that's all. I'm tired.

What if the volume and pressure aren't constant? Well, then you're f*cked.

Christine>> *LOL* <I'm the "before" picture.> That's funny. But for one thing, would you or would you not trust putting up short story or novel manuscripts up on the internet for people to read? Cause I'm debating if I should do this for my novel or short stories on Elfwood website. They say they are copyrighted by law and all that, but still there is that chance that someone just might copy my stories right from the website right there, but if they do and claim it's their's, I have the true OLD originals to the novel/short stories themselves. What do you say about this?

Josh>> Hun, I can go even further into the future than just that. Trust me, I soul travel all the time, or used to and still kind of do. If you don't believe me, just ask me something and I'll see what forms after that. :)

Tomorow I will be having what I am assured is an exceedingly large burger, and if the maker's skills with wraps overlaps with ground beef, it should be quite good to boot. Incidentally, I shall also be fisiting the Met (Armor and musical instruments mmm...) and Natural Hisory Museum.

Fire Storm> <<Like for Shiunji Watanabe?>>: Perhaps. Or more likely, his odder brother.
<<Nope. On all>>: Good.
<<But they seem like the ones it would go best with>>: True.
<<Since I have no idea what a DRD is>>: Watch Farscape. They're the little maintenance droids on leviathans. Essentially large hockey pucks with eyes.
<<The H model of Ping with wings and a tail>>: But one must alwyas watch out for the dutch wife fairy.
<<Thats just the Ip of his Anonomizer>>: It used to have an alphanumeric IP, instead of a straight 4x8bit.
<<what is the correct defintion for homonecropyrobestialiacophobia?>>: A term invented to test parsing on voice synthesizers, but also the irrational (with which I disagree) fear of those who enjoy stuffing flaming dead hamsters of the same gender in various orifices.

Imzadi> <<How this is accomplished is anyone's guess>>: Check out Super Taboo #6.
<<After that I got my last haircut for hopefully several months>>: My last (paid) haircut lasted me several years.
<<The whole "I think women are hot" gets in the way>>: But women have that whole yaoi obsession going, so you switch sides then get convinced to be converted back.
<<Typo. Typo. Typo>>: It's a lost cause.
<<All I want is a shark with a frikkin' laser beam>>: Forget that, your enemies must be thrown in a vat of boiling sharks.
<<When exactly did bald become sexy>>: With Baldy.
<<the rebel faction threw me into a shark pool>>: But was it boiling?
<<Livestock are hard to throw in an aircraft>>: What do you think hamsters are for?
<<I've never seen such a concise estimation of sheet music>>: But do you have anything to add to its accuracy?
<<If he puts it on all of them, they'll spend too much time on each other and not enough on me>>: It'll be restricted to only when you give permission.
<<That started when Paris kidnapped Helen>>: But this created Helen, and without Helen, no war. Just ask Yeats:
A sudden blow: the great wings beating still
Above the staggering girl, her thighs caressed
By the dark webs,, her nape caught in his bill,
He holds her helpless breast upon his breast.

How can those terrified vague fingers push
The feathered glory from her loosening thighs?
And how can body, laid in that white rush,
But feel the strange heart beating where it lies?

A shudder in the loins engenders there
The broken wall, the burning roof and tower
And Agamemnon dead.

Being so caught up,
So mastered by the brute blood of the air,
Did she put on his knowledge with his power
Before the indifferent beak could let her drop?

<<Entire population of WHAT?>>: Sorry, my bad. Canada.
<<That'll teach ya!>>: Sadly it didn't. I'm set up for EDev, LinSys, and ProgMeth next semester.

Warpmind> <<you can't really skeet shoot with an airgun>>: Perhaps not, but they could still be used as moving targets. Just toss them up, not forward.
<<got any other ideas?>>: Imzadi> Just watch out, I've already got dibs on the major engineer. Maybe you could be surounded by beautiful women. As a harem eunich.

Well wishes to Ravyn.

Imzadi - next thing I know, you'll be trying to block time-travel, too. Good luck trying to block intruders from another universe. I better not tell you how I would do it.

Warpmind - why bother duplicating a batmobile? I would rather have a cross between the Viper [from the tv-show of the same name] and the batmobile.

Why do all of my favorite shows on satellite have to come on at the same time? Pretender/Profiler/(I forget what's on USA at that same time slot?) I am trying to catch Babylon 5 since everyone claims it is good, which is again at the same time slot. I would think Pretender and Profiler have very similiar audiences. BTTW, Is there a Profiler movie coming up?

Imzadi - BTW, have you traveled to a certain universe where magic is extremely overabundant? No technology there and they can't block people from traveling there [Trust me, they've tried]. There's also a certain universe where technology is extremely overadvanced. [That's a really cool place to buy robots because you wouldn't believe how great the warranties are. It's nearly impossible to destroy one of their robots.] Anyways, they've also tried to block people from entering their universe. They've failed.

That's all for now.

*Warpmind enters, happy.*
Guess who got five GURPS books in the mail today? :D
To boot, I've got a REALLY evil Destiny lined up... a character destined to die of old age, with a crown on his head. The player will, of course, not be informed that the crown is a rather valuable gold coin, and a necromancer with a very, very powerful Aging spell is the bounty hunter... }:) Yep, I'm insidious, evil and cruel. Sue me. };)

Christine: I tried... and failed. *Grin* But the GURPS books should keep me calm for a few hours, at least. ;) Here's a thought for the Goblin Fiend of Bigelow Hill-scenario, though: the orc-sword is enchanted; it is loyal. Which, for a newbie character is great, except it's also enchanted to demand total loyalty from the owner... which is gonna STINK for a more experienced character, y'know. (Yeah, that +10 indestructible dancing sword looks sweet, but I've already got this Orcish one...) };)

Gside: I still don't have a microwave. And I'm planning to mount the worthless discs for target practice; you can't really skeet shoot with an airgun, y'know. :/

Fire Storm: That's odd... yours is the only system that has that problem? I thought Zlurp! was likely to avoid any codec problems... hmmm... I'll look into it again... Maybe there was some freaky setting in the encryption...

Josh: Um, you want a role as a skinny, sarcatic twerp? Uh, I don't know how to break this to you, but that's going to be REALLY difficult... for starters, the graphics engine is not too good to make skinny look skinny, and furthermore, sooner or later, almost everyone in the game will say something sarcastic... got any other ideas? (A funky undead guy? Heck, even a dragon could be possible.)

Well, that's about it. *Reverts to GURPS studies.* Hey! With the Vehicles book, I may be able to calculate how much the Batmobile would cost! :D

Yesterday it was so hot, I thought I was going to pass out. Also the air around campus is full of dragonflies, wich is good cause they eat mosquitos and well with all the dieseases mosquitos carry its good to have a lot of dragonflys around.

::walks in singing along to Better Than Ezra's "Good" single::

First order of business: Dreamie and Wolf want me to inform you all that they are still alive. Apparently they are too busy snuggling over the phone lines to post. How this is accomplished is anyone's guess.

Today was a lazy day. I woke up at about 1130 and went to lunch with my friend Dale at CPK. You think my brother is a mini-me?! You should meet Dale. People think we're twins, and what's even scarier is that we think alike. He's a younger and slightly nicer version of me, yet somehow still just as cynical.

After that I got my last haircut for hopefully several months. The same guy has been cutting my hair since I was 7, and quite frankly I LIVE in Berkeley so I know the kind of damage the barbers up there can do. So I'm terrified of getting a haircut up there. My standard plan is to get cuts that last me for months on end. 8-)

Next was a professional massage. That hit the spot. Wasn't the cute chick I usually like to see, but this one was alright. Except that she kept hitting the sore muscles that I specifically said not to hit.

::listening to Better Than Ezra's "Friction, Baby"::

I got home and my mom immediately sent me to run errands, and then I came home again and got on the phone with my boss. I successfully negotiated a pay raise for myself! YAY! The income from this will effectively double my monthly allowance.

Then my dad had to rain on my parade by telling me that now he felt free to cut my monthly allowance.

In other news, Apple's site lists my computer as SHIPPED! It's out the door! Winging its way to sunny Los Angeles (of course, I drive to Berkeley tomorrow).

After my roommate came over at 9PM, I started packing. Loads of fun. The good news is that I only have to ship ONE box (not counting my G4 which hasn't arrived yet). Stuff in the car includes two suitcases of my roommate's clothes, one box of my clothes, one box of my laptop, one box of tech stuff, speakers, printer, pillows, blanket...then we're gonna get in and drive for 5 hours, all in a tiny 325. Its gonna be a blast, I can't wait.

On to replies!

FS: <<That movie is fscked up to the go##^%n EXTREME>>: Isn't it awesome? <<are you saying I can get a Mac with a TV turner, video capture capability, burner, optical audio inputs, 80GB of HD space, a tape drive, SCSI controller, more RAM than most servers, AND a DVD player? ;) All internal?>>: Actually, skip my last post. You can absolutely get all that stuff internal. What you can't get is all that stuff built-in from Apple. But the stuff I mentioned in the other post is what you CAN get built in from Apple. By the way, how much is "more RAM than most servers"? <<They wanted you. Give in to the dark side>>: No thanks. The whole "I think women are hot" gets in the way. <<there is always that problem of people thinking the good guy must always win>>: Bah. Sentimental nonsense. <<No matter how wrong it is>>: You are confused. I am never wrong. <<And hopefully perform like a real female>>: Not too realistic, I hope. Real females have obnoxious things like inhibitions and needs. <<The LD line will be able to service ANYONE>>: But they have an access code so that only *I* can use the ones I buy, right? <<The ability to say "Cuba pissed me off today. Nuke them.">>: LOL. Perhaps. That, and the women. <>: I want the Tank. <<Intimate procedural programming>>: A good term! Data should have used that line in "The Naked Now".

Caliope: <<Same cute adorable silly Cali as ever...except tanner!>>: Cursed Sun. <<just HOW much have ya missed me guys>>: I'm sorry, you are...? j/k <>: Some more than others. Mine was great too, thanks. <<My Filosophy prof. likes to hear himself talk (tho I suspect its a filo prof thing in general>>: Typo. Typo. Typo. <<Oh Hi, btw! *HUGZ>>: Um, okay. <<what do you think of Good Charlotte>>: I think they suck monster !@#$.

XenaTrek: <<How is everyone>>: Also ready for a vacation. Wait a minute...I'm ON vacation. FSCK.

Baldy: <<Padded armor suits, mecha armor, or anonymous clothes>>: How about just an army of Steel Clan? <<what level of armament would you consider suitable? Meelee weaponry, small firearms or heavy explosives>>: All I want is a shark with a frikkin' laser beam. <<we'd need lots and lots of secret passages>>: Well that just goes without saying. << Wilek, you wanted a small part, too, right?>>: Oooh ooh I want in! Every story needs a short skinny sarcastic twerp to make it interesting. Even Star Wars.

Sorow: <<Next time I post, I'll be in AUSTIN>>: But that's...in Texas.

Tara: <<Gavin and I are getting married in four years from now>>: Whoa. Someone who can plan even further into the future than I.

Lynati: <<grabs Imzadi as he tries to sneak away>>: Hands off the ears, woman! <<Not so fast, Jerkboy>>: That's "MR." Jerkboy to you! <<Grow a conscience>>: Excuse me!? When have I ever shown any indication that such a thing was even possible!? <<My back hurts. That didn't help it any>>: That'll learn ya! <<she says she thinks she's worth at least *three* mules>>: I'll give you two queer giraffes. <<ahh, "whine". I get it now>>: Sharp as a tack. <<Heather knows the show well enough to let me know she thinks that "Lex is cute>>: When exactly did bald become sexy?! <<My Step-mother really DOES hate me>>: That is a step-mother's primary function.

DPH: <<You're not going to block people from traveling to this universe, right?>>: I will. Niamhgold just got back from one where the rebel faction threw me into a shark pool. This is no good. <<Have fun at college>>: I'll try. <<don't press a button on them if you want to have been born. The remotes just kill your parents before you were born>>: That's okay. They didn't ask me. And if they had, I'd have told them to shove it.

Gside: <<One must not forget the essential throwing of bedpan contents and livestock>>: Livestock are hard to throw in an aircraft. <<Don't forget, it also slowly kills your liver>>: All that and a high price too! <<Except for orbital death rays>>: And wild sex. <>: Wow. I've never seen such a concise estimation of sheet music. <<You're only putting that on the sisters? I thought I had taught you better than that>>: If he puts it on all of them, they'll spend too much time on each other and not enough on me. <<Hermaphroditic lesbian catgirls with tentacles>>: Damn! <<Maybe since Attack of the Clones is a bad name, we'll get a good movie>>: Or maybe since we already know what's gonna happen, it'll suck harder than anything that has sucked before. <<The start of that whole Trojan war thing>>: Um, that wasn't the start of the Trojan War. That started when Paris kidnapped Helen. <<it is a theory of mine that the entire population can sing better than Dylan>>: Entire population of WHAT? <<Of course, when I said, "thank you sir, may I have another," they put me in principles>>: That'll teach ya! <<They're still throwable after a microwave encounter.>>: More importantly, they're still shootable.

Okay folks, I'm done packing and its 3AM. Bedtime so I can be on the road before noon.

Imzadi: <There were two gay guys at the party, which might have explained it>
Oh yeah. They wanted you. Give in to the dark side! ;)
<It's so simple, you'd think someone like him could handle it>
Yeah, but there is always that problem of people thinking the good guy must always win.
<That's not a good enough reason>
You are entitled to your opinion.
No matter how wrong it is. ;)
<That's Wyrd Sister LD'"S" as in THREE.>
Very true. BTW... have you seen realdoll.com? They have dolls made entirely out of silicone.
BUT they don't even move! At least MINE will move! And hopefully perform like a real female (At least in what matters)
<That won't be necessary if it'll cost extra. I prefer to deal with one toy at a time>
Lesbian action? Standard feature, IMHO. The LD line will be able to service ANYONE.
<Why do you think I want world domination in the first place?>
Power trip?
The ability to say "Cuba pissed me off today. Nuke them."?
<He's too asexual to score as high as he did on the gay test>
That will change. Oh yes. That WILL change.
<Now THAT would violate the weight limits>
Like I care! I want one that can attack a TANK!
(Oh, and when (NOT IF) I make a battlebot, COMPLETE video transmission from it, sensor transmission, a walker, AND SUPER heavyweight! (Walkers get to add an additional 50 pounds in that class!)

Warpmind: <I'm providing an mp3 I suspect at least some of you will find appealing... it's called "Lullaby for a Vampire", by a band called Magicka. Enjoy>
What is the website for your ripper? Apparently I need an additional codec to listen to it. It sounds like garbage on my system.

Gside: <Ah. Kind of dissipointing. I was hoping for more of an analysis of it's use in future episodes.>
Like for Shiunji Watanabe? Sorry. But I think it fit rather oddly in that thread.
<You're only putting that on the sisters? I thought I had taught you better than that>
Nope. On all. But they seem like the ones it would go best with.
<Hermaphroditic lesbian catgirls with tentacles?>
Damn straight!
"Lord Naughtius! PLEASE... NOO!!... AHHHH... AHN! OH!' ;)

Wilek: <Is that anything like a DRD? I love those. Especially Talyn's scary red spiky ones.>
Since I have no idea what a DRD is, who knows.
BUT, looking at what Imzadi and Gside say... I seriously doubt it.
DLD= Demona Love Doll. A project I have kinda started that will incorperate the first production models of my endoskeleton prototype, some basic AI reoutines, and, how do I put this... Intimate procedural programming.

Wilek> <<If they honk, I'd recommend taking them to the repairman or the exorcist>>: But honking makes your life so much more interesting.
<<That must have required some interesting engineering>>: You don't know the half of it. They also had to blend in some tentacle monster to get the proper number of tails. And oh, what those tails can do...
<<Being abducted by aliens can really ruin your day>>: Or make it, depending on which species goes for you.
<<You lot are that addicted to me?>>: No, much more than that.
<>: And I'm sure we could both go for some catgirls. For different reasons, of course.
<<Verbing weirds language>>: I stand by Mr. Dodgson's portmanteau habit.
<<Do you hijack planes by threatening to taunt the passengers?>>: One must not forget the essential throwing of bedpan contents and livestock.
<<Near as I can tell, it makes you dizzy and nauseous>>: Don't forget, it also slowly kills your liver.
<<Jam yesterday and jam tomorrow, but never jam today>>: It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards.
<<Nothing is its own justification>>: Except for orbital death rays.
<<Is that anything like a DRD?>>: Not from unless there's another breed with bouncy, nubile DRDs.
<<The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog>>: You need it in the present tense if you want an s.
<<Perhaps it will benefit me to allow you to continue believing that>>: I think your IP is in Colorado this time.
<<I'm guessing Gargoyles is too much to hope for>>: Yes.
<<Or maybe I'm just weird>>: Nah.
<>: If it has more flags, it's shorter. If there's a hole in the middle, it's longer. Height means higher pitch, as does #. b makes it a tad lower in pitch. Various bars and ; mean rest. I think that's about it.

Fire Storm> <<Fists of Fury --> virtual orgy>>: Ah. Kind of dissipointing. I was hoping for more of an analysis of it's use in future episodes.
<<you could have done a search for the word>>: I did. I just don't know how to search all those pages at once.
<<Complete with lesibian love action>>: You're only putting that on the sisters? I thought I had taught you better than that.
<<gets you LOTS of porn. Hentai porn>>: Hermaphroditic lesbian catgirls with tentacles?

I just thought os something. Phantom Menace is a pretty good name, but everyone complains about the movie. Maybe since Attack of the Clones is a bad name, we'll get a good movie.

Imzadi> <>: Heck, he was my clerk a couple times at the Stash (or it might still have been Comicology).
<<Huh?>>: The start of that whole Trojan war thing. Zeus thought Leda was quite nice, and looking for a new way to do things, he changed himself into a swan. He then essentially proceeded to rape her, after which she gave birth to Helen, Clytemnestra, Castor, and Pollux, one of each gender being part divine, the other being from her mortal husband. It's become quite a popular scene to portray in art.
<<?>>: A Dylan song. Which explains quite a bit. On another note, it is a theory of mine that the entire population can sing better than Dylan.
<<Which statics class did YOU take?>>: The honors version. Of course, when I said, "thank you sir, may I have another," they put me in principles.

Welcome back Calэope and XenaTrek.

Warpmind> <<And I need the target practice>>: They're still throwable after a microwave encounter.

Fleur> <<Still a bit slow, but that could just be the crappy uni computer I'm using>>: Nope, they have a note on the front page that they're not up to full capacity yet. But they seem to be getting better.

**enters the room looking for CR villains, but they left as soon as DPH arrived.** It's not fair. They're just scared of me. I will want to do is try a few experiments with making them cease to exist.

Wilek - I think I still will keep the coordinates memorized of a safe universe. You're not going to block people from traveling to this universe, right? <Battlebot hazards> that's sad when someone thinks they're random. I would like to add a zero friction area on the arena, especially around the Pulverizer. Wait a minute: I have a better idea. Just for kicks, add a conveyer built to drag a battlebot to the Pulverizer.

Wait a minute: the battlebots arena still won't be fair. The hazards should be as powerfull as the two battlebots combined, so people don't forget that every battle is a three way fight.

1+1=-3 or is it 9-8=-17?

Imzadi - Have fun at college.

Happy belated birthday to GXB and Todd Jensen.

**DPH hands out a few remotes, but gives one word of caution: don't press a button on them if you want to have been born. The remotes just kill your parents before you were born. Don't ask where I found them, trust me, you don't want to know.**

*grabs Imzadi as he tries to sneak away* Not so fast, Jerkboy! Grow a conscience and help us on this! ;)
Ow. My back hurts. That didn't help it any.

Aaron: my sister came by tonight...she says she thinks she's worth at least *three* mules.

Shinigami: Heey, you still around? *poke poke* Tell me what you thought of the pic, when you have a chance to look at it.

Emambu: Your brain didn't explode, did it? Naw, it couldn't have; your tolerance must be about as high as mine is, and what I sent you was no-where near the brain-melting level. I await your responses...

Moochie: Get better already! Yeesh, how long have you been sick for now? and are you going to have IM access at your school, I can't seem to remember.

Gside: ahh, "whine". I get it now. Thanks.

Well, I spent the weekend at my Aunt's...they finally got the hot tub working. Other highlights: Peach picking in VA, huge peaches that taste better than the peachiest peach, pretty fun. and a friend of my Aunt's gave me quite a few rabbit skins, so it looks like *I* can get another leg-up on next year's Gathering costume. (Don't know if I can manage the wings just yet.)
And in Fandom news, both my cousin Julia and her friend Heather claim to be Gargfans. They are both nine years old.
...So the fandom really *does* still have a kid following. (I don't know, Julia is smart for her age and could have just been messing with me, but Heather knows the show well enough to let me know she thinks that "Lex is cute".)

Had fun hanging out with Aingeal last week...We didn't do much, just hung out and talked. I showed her Pandora's Cube, a pretty spiffy Anime place. We are trying to arrange for a little CR get-together in New York for New Years.

I have a 7:30 am flight out to MO tomorrow. My Step-mother really DOES hate me.

FS: Not all of those. But you can get a mac with a SuperDrive (combination DVDRW/CDRW - yes it does BOTH), 80 gig's of HD or up to 3x72 SCSI drives, a built in SCSI controller, and up to 1.5 gigs of ram. And it has audio inputs too. How's THAT for build to order? check out http://store.apple.com for more All you'd need are the internal easily mountable tape drive (do they make one in a 3.5" size?) and the TV tuner card...one Mac in recent history had a TV card available as a BTO option, but I don't think Macs have ever offered tape drives through their stores. Their too expensive and not reliabble enough. Besides, CDR's are SO much cheaper at the same space requirement.

Guess whose day was made when the mailman arrived today? }:)

Ravyn: Vigilante Squads it is. Padded armor suits, mecha armor, or anonymous clothes? And, of course, what level of armament would you consider suitable? Meelee weaponry, small firearms or heavy explosives? }:)

Christine: Silversilk? Silversilk? NYARGH! Must... avoid... another... shopping... binge... account... still hurting... from... Gathering... sign one copy and prep it for shipping, will you? There's a dear lady. ;) (I'll send you PayPal notification soon as I can - or even better, bill me through it, huh?)

Wilek: Welcome home, old friend. Like I said, I had an eerie feeling you might be coming back... and I was right. It was eerie. ;) As for World Domination Headquarters, I think a castle would do quite well. For sure, we'd need lots and lots of secret passages. (I have a few more or less obvious doors in mind... e-mail me 'bout'em, huh?) And there's a nice e-mail server I know of - @evil.com that actually exists. (Grimtooth has that one.) And if you think Brooklyn'd make a cuter chick, you shoulda seen Lexington in drag. How he got those long-sleeved cloves on, I'll never know... ;) Now, for the Coil Corridor - yes, there's bound to be something left. A wafer thin film on the far wall, most likely; any coinage they might have carried is sure to be flattened as well... But as I believe you yourself said - anything worth doing is worth OVERdoing. }:) Hmmm... let you play with the guy who sent me the dolly? Well, if I find the person, I'll let you know, you can e-mail me your mailing address, and I'll ship him to you. In matchboxes. Deal? };) And yes, due process and legal examination is probably just as diligent as in the US.

Gside: I'd microwave'em, but I don't have a microwave. And I need the target practice. :/ And they're all dead. ;)

And that about concludes my post. Wilek's come home to the CR, I've got my Vampoticon and Winux shirts, and the GURPS books might show up this week, as well as my monthly social security check... life is good. :) Oh, yeah, that's right... I'm also beginning to make REAL good progress on the RPG I'm programming now - while it's not making top speed on the programming side, I've got a LOT of coherent notes and script clippings ready. Wilek, you wanted a small part, too, right? A frightened kid fleeing something, right? I think I can fit you in with the Just Obnoxious Dead subquest. }:)

Well, I hope everyone's OK, and had a good summer...or are STILL having a good summer :P Mine was cool, did the summer camp thing again, went to the beach alot, did some snorking and indoor rock climbing and bowling and lots of other lil things!

I started classes again, this promises to be an interesting semester. My Filosophy prof. likes to hear himself talk (tho I suspect its a filo prof thing in general :P), my greek and roman mythology prof is an idiot, which is really disapointing, I'm taking Design...again, but that wont be too bad, I liked it the first time around, my other Hist. Prof is not memorable ehough to even mention (all he's got going for him are a nifty pair of glasses :P), and what makes it all worth while, my Creative drawing Prof! He's so insane! The man caries an old chiwawa in his back pack!!! And the list of materials he asked for!!! O.o

Josh> You like BNL! Good bless your soul, theres so few of us out there :P...Oh Hi, btw! *HUGZ* So, tell me, what do you think of Good Charlotte? ;)

::walks into the CR listening to Barenaked Ladies' "Stunt" and singing along...very badly::

Hey ladies and gents!

Today was a good day in the life of Josh. I woke up at about noon after my night of bowling and sat in bed checking websites and chatting with Niamhgold until I finally decided to do something productive with my day.

I failed to do anything productive, but I did get sent to Smart & Final to buy mass quantities of groceries before I leave for school. That way, THEY don't have to go for a while. I figure as long as they buy me gas and give me a place to stay, its the least I can do.

The closest I came to productive was a call to Apple to check on the status of my G4. When I called them, the guy said it was supposed to ship today and that I would receive confirmation email this afternoon. I reeived no such email, which means it will probably ship TOMORROW...which means it will conveniently arrive the day after I leave 8-). Charming, eh?

So much for getting my computer before classes start.

The other thing I managed to accomplish today was closing a checking account. You'd think that if you took all your money out, they'd close it automatically, especially if you were transferring the money into a new account you'd just opened with them. Apparently, however, these guys aren't that smart.

After some phone time with my buddy cross country and some time working on setting up my brother's mp3 player (which I think I'm going to confiscate), I was off to my friend's jacuzzi party. Although the girl/guy ratio wasn't exactly what I hoped, all of them were good friends of mine and it was more of a hanging out than a meet market. And I did manage to get the attention of the best looking girl there (a girl from my high school class) with a simple back massage...works every time.

No, I didn't "get" her number, because I've had it for years. Instead I got her bugging me to put her on my buddy list (I was using my laptop to chat on AIM over airport during part of this get-together).

I left last, seeing as it was at my best friend's house and I wanted to help him clean up. So I'm back at the house and its 3AM and I probably won't finish this post until 5 seeing as Wilek finally posted.

Other good news, Mike was able to help me install the drivers for WaveLAN in OS X, written by some Linux hacker because Lucent is filled with lazy bums who deserve their crappy stock price. It worked flawlessly. Kickass.

Gave away Finland and Germany to a couple of my friends tonight when I take over the world. My friend in Germany has already announced his intention to conquer the Netherlands.

Managed to finish another whopping ONE drink this evening...I think that brings my total to 8 for the summer, 11 for my entire life.

If you're interested in seeing a map of my future world domination headquarters, click my name! The picture quality isn't that great, but you should be able to see what's going on.

While we're on this thread about Jason Mewes, I should mention that my friend Nico (the musician that played with BTE) just met him in Chicago and they hung out for nearly 4 straight days. So we'll be seeing much more of him.

On to replies!

FS: <<Why the fsck are you looking at me like that?>>: There were two gay guys at the party, which might have explained it. <<Only in this CR can that be an appropiate greeting>>: LOL! True, true. <<all he had to do to win is get better henchmen (Maybe if he paid better he could get better), and assasinate the frigging girl (Cree Summer, BTW) and the dog>>: It's so simple, you'd think someone like him could handle it. <>: That's not a good enough reason. <<NEED is irelevent. DESIRE is everything. Do I NEED all the stuff in my computer? Hell no. But I want it>>: But would you still want it if your computer did everything you that you could envision it doing? <<A HAREM of DLD (Delilah AND Demona LD)... ELD (Elisa-goyle LD)... Sata LD. Wyrd Sister LD>>: That's Wyrd Sister LD'"S" as in THREE. <<Complete with lesibian love action>>: That won't be necessary if it'll cost extra. I prefer to deal with one toy at a time. <<if you had all that, would you really CARE about ruling the world?>>: Why do you think I want world domination in the first place? <<We's gonna take you to a strip club and gets you LOTS of porn. Hentai porn>>: He's too asexual to score as high as he did on the gay test. <<The precursor to that step, though, is power armor and the DLD project>>: MINE! ;-) <>: Now THAT would violate the weight limits. <<There is a 90% chance my G2002 costume will involve welding>>: Awesome! <<There is also a 90% chance that my G2004 costume won't fit in the con room>>: Also awesome!

Kathy: <<Sweet underlying story, much crude humor>>: I can't wait for the next one! <<Let's hope they don't do a third one>>: Apparently we are of different minds here ;-)

Ed: <<Does anybody know the specifics of the 'Timedancer' premier>>: Yes. <<if the debut date or month is known yet>>: Yes it is. <<what day of the week each episode will be released on>>: The episodes are usually released on Sunday night/Monday morning from what I've seen. I don't know if the schedule will be any different.

Shadowrider: <<No, but I was already suspecting it>>: Maybe you, too, are psychic! <>: Damn hippies! <<why don't you try the same>>: The impression I get in this country is that racing is only closely followed by rednecks. You never see the upper crust of a major city talking about racing, at least not in this country. I'd like to say that Italy is filled with rednecks, but I've been there twice and it just ain't true. <>: Not necessarily. My roommate almost went to Cornell University in New York specifically for studying Aeronautical Engineering. The schools that don't offer it as a separate major often offer a couple courses in it that are in the mechanical engineer department, so you were half right. <>: Not a trade I'd ever make, personally. <<Time to return in service, folks>>: Have fun, good luck, don't do anything I wouldn't do!

Lain: <<cos i have soooo many nice helpful friends, noone told me the exam started at 9am instead of the time class always starts>>: If I were you, I'd develop at least a PASSING communication with ONE other person in every class, or at least an email conversation with the professor. It will do a world of good. <<bachs prelude and fugue in d minor (the fugue part).. WHY DO I KNOW THAT!?>>: Because you have good taste in music. <>: Jeez, you need to get out and make some more friends. <<THERES a cheque thats gonna bounce>>: Don't write bouncing checks. Just defer payment. Yeah, you'll be paying interest till your 80, but at least your credit rating won't get shot. <<one cannot live by bread alone>>: I guess you're gonna find out. <<if i phrase it right, he should let me>>: This is your father we're talking about, right? <<anyone got some cheese i can have with that?>>: Seriously.

Taleweaver: <<When will we have the countdown>>: Approximately at the same time as it is announced. <<temperatures are starting to fall>>: Bet those Canadians are happy about that one.

Tara: Welcome. Please leave your sanity ELSEWHERE. <>: And you're already getting married? Damn.

Baldy: <<What shall we scheme about first? Education systems? Tax evasion plots? Vigilante squads>>: D. All of the above. Though the Tax evasion is the most fun. <<misburnt discs>>: We call 'em "coasters". <<after I use the worthless junk for target practice>>: That's not a better use than "coasters". <<I'm not hitting on any woman, I'm just working on the whole Masterminding bit>>: For me, those are the same thing.

Stephen: <<You should try a full batch of homemade wine coolers>>: I've never tried a wine cooler. Isn't that even wussier? <<That last one will numb your mouth faster than industrial strength novacaine>>: Okay so if that happens, would I not notice kissing a girl who was smoking/drinking?

Gavin: <<though us cats dont care much for humans>>: What's Tara? <<Snooch to the Motherf!cking Nooch!>>: Amen.

Ravyn: <<it wasn't too bad, since I only had two>>: You lucky devil. I have like 4 classes a day. <<including that wonderful Statics class Josh and Gside were telling me about>>: The trick is to not be afraid. I was afraid of programming until the first day...then I got an A+ in it ;-) <<I'm listening to Ricky Martin songs right now>>: God, why!? <<Call me old-fashioned>>: You asked for it... <<don't make me come over there>>: And do what? <<Why, thank you. I will>>: I know I would. <<Silly, lucky mac users>>: Say what you want about our iMacs, but we're no schmucks. <<that's where NASA's been hiding the women who love engineers>>: Jokes on them: there are NO women who love engineers. <<I'm not even mentioning what I got on thespark.com's Gender Test>>: I hope they didn't guess male since you're an engineer and 99.98% of all engineers are men...

Lynati: <<who wants to help with a "Get lain to Gunjack's for Christmas" fund>>: ::silently slips out of the room::

Smut Pandering Bitch Queen of All Creation: Please include a link to http://www.kicktothenuts.com/gargoyles in AvMists. You can put it at the bottom if you want, its not too important. Thanks.

Wilek: Welcome back! It's been too long, my friend/rival. <<my opinion of Nintendo is similar to Imzadi's of Apple (and Sony is my Microsoft>>: Ah, a man who speaks my language of technological rivalries! <<The X-Box looks like it's going to stink even more than the PS2>>: I think that Microsoft is gonna buy game companies until the software available for the Xbox rivals that of ALL previous gaming consoles combined. <<Being abducted by aliens can really ruin your day>>: Did Scott Baio give you pink eye? <<You lot are that addicted to me>>: Yeah, you're pretty cool. <<How 'bout this?>>: No, that's not really all that interesting either. <<there goes my desire to attend>>: Well then you're gonna miss out. <>: Yeah. You get to filter yourself for the best parts. <<allowing me to imprint my madness upon everyone and everything within reach>>: Is there a reason besides entertainment for doing that? <<Own they not a belt sander?>>: OW! <<How long an interval are we talking about?>>: 30 minutes. <>: That'd be really nice. <>: Bah. <<You're very fortunate that you haven't been inside my head>>: I don't think I'd fit. <<Frankly I prefer Faith & The Muse>>: Huh? <<Sienar? Oooh...must have>>: Amen. Quite the little company. <<I've heard that before the Krath (I think that's what they were called) messed everything up, both sides were used by the Jedi Order>>: Where did you read this? <<Probably the Lightsiders were a healer/scholar caste and the Darksiders a warrior caste>>: That explains why they're such wussy fighters. <<I'm thinking of buying whatever novels they're in (if I ever find out which ones those are>>: Here's a list: Vector Prime, Dark Tide I & II, Agents of Chaos I & II, Balance Point, and Edge of Victory I and II (I don't think that last one is out yet). Happy reading! <<How is this a good thing?>>: I always think its a good thing when a kid stands up against the parents and says "no, I don't believe what you believe. I believe this other thing." <<Any word can be made a verb by verbing it. Verbing weirds language>>: Yes, I understand. My friends often use the phrase "I'd like to verb her noun" when talking about a hot woman. We don't actually insert a verb and a noun, we use those actual words. <<our accounting departments have finished tying together our financial resources, and the communication infrastructure is coming along swimmingly. Welcome to the team>>: I've uploaded a picture of my headquarters...I hope it meets with your approval. Click my name. <<orientation will attend to that. (Ever see A Clockwork Orange?>>: I did, and if you ever try that on me...I'm not gonna be happy. <<You should hear an answering machine message I have>>: Post it! <<Do you hijack planes by threatening to taunt the passengers>>: Sometimes. But does that really make me a terrorist!? <<I've always wondered what is so great about alcohol>>: Most of the time, nothing. Its a social thing, like smoking only less damaging. And most of the time it tastes awful, which is why I have a hard time finding anything that I like. <<Near as I can tell, it makes you dizzy and nauseous>>: Not always, sometimes it just lowers inhibitions, which someone like me could really use. <<Count me among the bitter ones>>: Ditto. <<Why is it that so many of them care more about rutting than getting things done>>: Because its more fun. <<get me to renounce my Y chromosome>>: I don't think you can do that. <<A digestive system is actually kind of cool looking once it's been dried and mounted properly>>: Where did THAT come from? <>: But those juggies are SOOOO hot! You may NOT kill them. <<Does he creep and leap and glide and slide across the floor>>: Pretty much, yeah. <<where's Demona May>>: Check the S8 CR. Look for the post with 85 spelling errors and grammar errors...in a 12 word post. <<you don't know what I know about the history and chemistry of the matter>>: Well then enlighten us. <<The former two conditions I have no problem with>>: You're missing out on the first. <<No reason to throw the baby, loud and smelly as it is, out with the bathwater>>: Oh yes, yes it is. In fact, if its loud and smelly, that's a PERFECT reason to throw it out with the bathwater. <<Nothing is its own justification>>: Oh, I beg to differ. <<Remember that one wedding?>>: No...? <<Is that anything like a DRD?>>: Nope. <<potential apocalypses are cool>>: Yup yup. Death and destruction runs a close second to comedy though. For me. <<your styles are similar, but his humour is quite a bit more subtle and referential, near as I can tell. Maybe you're his id or something>>: I most certainly am NOT! <<Take a bodyguard with two AKs>>: Exactly! <>: Before this I was gonna do an Eyrie-like design in Switzerland. <<Giger Bar in Chur, Switzerland>>: Not familiar with that, but I'm starting to really believe that it IS the best place to rule the world from. <<The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog>>: What if my password contains a letter twice? <<Real life is being very annoying>>: Always. <<@ithinkigaveyouaids.com>>: LOL! <<Coolest domain names ever>>: Cooler than kicktothenuts.com!? <<Unfortunately the project is going slowly; the original test subjects were Disney execs, and the presence of their heads tended to skew readings>>: ROFL! <<Maybe by then they had neural repair technology?>>: How'd she lose the ability to walk in the first place? <<Who or what is Black Sabbath?>>: A band. Old school heavy. <<Or Ozzfest for that matter?>>: An all day hard rock concert. <<The silvery cubes with the transparent peripherals? Ah schiesse>>: That's the one. Though they were recently inducted into the Museum of Modern Art somewhere as definitive pieces of 20th century technology. <<Do they at least still make the eyeball speakers?>>: Yes. They're called "pro speakers" and they're made by Harmon Kardon. They sell for about $60 and they're USB. They're not great though. I'd go with the $200 soundsticks, which is the same unit stacked three high with a cool looking (and great sounding) sub. <>: I thought he lived in an apartment. <<Ra, I'm guessing; he hasn't bothered getting off of his kilted hiney and DOING something in like eons>>: LOL. <<Poor thing ran around in circles for three days and stared at itself in the mirror for twelve hours>>: LOL. <<stay out of public places until the fission>>: LOL again. <<Or maybe I'm just weird>>: Maybe?! <<Depends on your time scale>>: Relative to a Plutonian year, sure! <>: Why? <<Why does nothing that cool ever happen in my neck of the woods>>: Because you're living in the woods. <<Being circumspect about revealing one's e-mail address can pay off, it seems>>: Or maybe you just have no friends. <<I've been working on this one since July 16>>: You take too long. <<How many people are in here anyway>>: A lot. <<Would you like some Super glue>>: Nah, no one usees their ass anymore. <<I expected to be quite a bit less gay than this, since I'm even less interested in becoming involved with males than with females. Maybe they're like mainstream society and think that a straight guy who isn't hitting on everything with a birth canal is secretly gay>>: Ah, this I am ALL too familiar with. I got a 31%. <<4% slutty>>: Damn, I didn't think anyone in here would get a lower score than Niamh. <<13% of which is tard (huh)>>: Tard, as in short for "REtard"...the "stupid" part of your bastard-ness. <<I've heard that a lot, in Dogma and the Clerks animated series...what on earth does it mean>>: Nothing, really. <<Seems like there's a lot I've forgotten>>: Yeah, probably.

Gside: <<They must be lying to you>>: The stories or the people who tell them? <<Even for Leda and the Swan>>: Huh? <<I've read that five times, and it still makes no sense>>: You're right. There's no way she could have TOO much lacy underwear. <<Yes, I know they're engineering faculty, but I was wondering if there might be something else contributing, as it doesn't appear to be widespread>>: Probably not. <<It's a line from the Mighty Quinn>>: ? <<most of my favorites (Mars, Toccata, 1812) aren't conducive to meditation, so I went some very good, more relaxing pieces>>: Same here. <<if you go in already decided on a major, there must be some sort of pre formating to allow it more receptive to their chosen discipline>>: Yeah, I guess. <<Actually yes. Broken fingers, weak ankles, the hedgetrimmer. Oh well>>: Ha ha. No broken bones here. <<Which is essentially the engineering version of frat initiations>>: Whoa. Which statics class did YOU take?! <<You may be on top with Niamhgold, but I'm on top with Wilek. ... Wait, wanna trade>>: HELL NO! I'm not gonna do that to myself or my friend over there ;-)

Okay way too late to still be awake. See, that post was pretty long and didn't take me a month to write. Tomorrow is my last day home for the summer. Gotta start packing.

Gside: <Good. I have heard club soda being the only soda recognized as such by the infidels>
"But Club Soda with syrup is the same thing!"
SILENCE INFIDEL!
<Just ask Alice, if you don't believe me.>
She is a nutter. Keeps rambling about the Jabberwokky and some queen.
She shoule really be locked up...
Oh wait. She is.

Sure.
Fists of Fury --> virtual orgy (Page 7)
Of course, you could have done a search for the word. I SERIOUSLY doubt that more than one result would have been found.
<One pill will make you smaller, and one pill will make you larger, but the pill that mother gives you will do nothing at all.>
Just ask Alice... when she's 10 feet tall.
<Since I buy my blanks in stacks, I horde empty cases>
Mine are poorly placed on my desk bare and stacked...
Oh, that joke is WAY to frigging easy.
<Damn few>
And there ALLLLL dead.

Imzadi: <Root for the bad guy!>
And all he had to do to win is get better henchmen (Maybe if he paid better he could get better), and assasinate the frigging girl (Cree Summer, BTW) and the dog.

Or are YOU ME? Am I ME?
<Geez. You really shouldn't even TRY doing that>
I ran them because they were there.
<You see it as a problem, but I see it as an acheivement. It means that Apple is selling a machine that includes everything its user could need.>
NEED is irelevent. DESIRE is everything. Do I NEED all the stuff in my computer? Hell no. But I want it!
Do people need to modify their cars to run twice as fast, have the door open backwards, etc? Nope. But they want to.
<Except FAR more useful...if he were gay or female>
Be warned if he buys a dress for his 'girlfriend'
<On the contrary, I rarely say anything offensive in bed.>
Hmm...
NOTE TO SELF: When Imzadi becomes ruler, keep him in bed. But how...
A HAREM of DLD (Delilah AND Demona LD)... ELD (Elisa-goyle LD)... Sata LD. Wyrd Sister LD (Complete with lesibian love action).
Of course... if you had all that, would you really CARE about ruling the world?
<Actually, FS, it doesn't matter how many points its worth since its a) more than 7 letters and b) MUCH longer than the length of a scrabble board. But if you could, on an infinite sized board with infinite amounts of each letter...it would be worth...A LOT.>
But in theory, IF it fit AND you were playing by superhacked rules (Everyone brings a bag of letters from their own game at home), that word would RULE AND it would hit at least 2 triple word at 2 double word scores.

Lain: AOLIM supports voice chat. All you need is a soundcard, Microphone and speakers.
downloads.cnet.com probally has a few more voice over internet programs too.

Warpmind: <Well, if we're talking the Alien: Resurrection Ripley, it's neither pure Xeno nor human>
Yeah, but no tail, her head was that ugly round shape and her fingers were only a few inches long. What fun is that? ;)
<Oh, and Pervert's Row is at SexyLosers, right?>
Yup.

Todd, GXB: HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (Either it was late for this year or VERY early for next year.

Wilek: 
@whothefsckdoyouthingyouare.com
<R. Lee Ermey? Oh, he seemed well enough aware of it in The Frighteners...>
But he STILL refused to go!
<That's what really stood out at me. Someone gets shot in the head, or gets their arm shot off, right on screen, and there is NOTHING? What species is this?>
what about when the 'man animal's head exploded? Or the cows.
<Looking forward to the movie, yes, but the name is stupid. Oh well--The Empire Strikes Back had a stupid name, and look how cool it was>
But the clones are all of Jar-Jar!
<Maybe by then they had neural repair technology?>
DOubt it... Hmm... Maybe. But I still doubt it. Oracle is not the same person anymore.

Thats it. We's gonna take you to a strip club and gets you LOTS of porn. Hentai porn.
<Intriguing. Seriously, I want to know more. Share your research? Especially regarding the eventual transfer?>
Once I figure out how to make computer chips (And I will), then I can work out the brain part. But for v2.0, I was just gonna connect my brain in a new body. The precursor to that step, though, is power armor and the DLD project.
<I'm guessing Gargoyles is too much to hope for?>
Unknown. But it is possible.

I saw the SWEETEST little motorized forklift at work the other day. Powered lifter and movement. Power steering. Hydrolic brakes...
DAMN I was drooling. I SO wanted to turn that puppy into a battlebot!

Scary fact: There is a 90% chance my G2002 costume will involve welding.
There is also a 90% chance that my G2004 costume won't fit in the con room. ;)

Fire Storm> <<If the stories be true>>: They must be lying to you.
<<HELL NO!>>: Good. I have heard club soda being the only soda recognized as such by the infidels.
<<Is that a reference to Alice?>>: Quite. She made one of the more famous Carrolian statements. "HERE, you see,
it takes all the running YOU can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!'" Just ask Alice, if you don't believe me.
<<HOW THE FRELL DID YOU KNOW THAT?>>: Guess. Utter lucky guess. (maybe not lucky, due to the subject matter)
<<Did you see it?>>: I spent a good portion of today looking for it, to no avail. Could you tell me which section or thread it was under?
<<Did you see anything about it?>>: Other than at the link I copied, no.
<<Speeds me up Slows me down Everything is reversed>>: One pill will make you smaller, and one pill will make you larger, but the pill that mother gives you will do nothing at all.

Imzadi> <<On the sixth day, god participated in drunken debauchery>>: After the seventh day, He was quit tired, so God said, "Let there be a day just for picnics with wine and bread."
<>: Even for Leda and the Swan?
<<Too much lacy underwear>>: I've read that five times, and it still makes no sense.
<<Damnit, I learned something new today!>>: Ph33r me.
<<They're sadists>>: Yes, I know they're engineering faculty, but I was wondering if there might be something else contributing, as it doesn't appear to be widespread.
<>: It's a line from the Mighty Quinn. At first I heard it as cup of meat, decided that couldn't be right and went with cut of meat, but I recently found the lyrics do actually say cup.
<<No way! That's my favorite classical piece!>>: Actually, most of my favorites (Mars, Toccata, 1812) aren't conducive to meditation, so I went some very good, more relaxing pieces.
<<It takes till Junior year at the earliest for brain reformatting to take place for a specific engineering major>>: But if you go in already decided on a major, there must be some sort of pre formating to allow it more receptive to their chosen discipline.
<<He's a pervert>>: Thank you.
<<if he were gay or female>>: Or found a nice hermaphrodite.

Lain> <<bye bye 20 marks>>: But 20 out of how many? I have had many tests that exceeded 100 points.
<<bachs prelude and fugue in d minor>>: Sure it isn't Toccata?

Welcome Tara.

Warpmind> <<have you ever been injured at all?>>: Actually yes. Broken fingers, weak ankles, the hedgetrimmer. Oh well.
<<who's like us?>>: Damn few.
<<I'll take it>>: Thank you.
<>: Since I buy my blanks in stacks, I horde empty cases.
<<after I use the worthless junk for target practice>>: Don't throw it, microwave it (7 seconds, with a paper towel underneath).

Ravyn> <<that wonderful Statics class Josh and Gside were telling me about>>: Which is essentially the engineering version of frat initiations.
<<Cool. Thanks!>>: Not a problem.
<<I'm not even mentioning what I got on thespark.com's Gender Test>>: See, it agrees that you're a figment.

Lynati> <<cheese, because you asked for it, I don't know why>>: To go with the whine.

Woot. Wilek returns.

Imzadi> You may be on top with Niamhgold, but I'm on top with Wilek. ... Wait, wanna trade?

Sadly I don't have the energy to tackle Wilek at the moment, so I shall essay it tomorrow.

Anyone want some smores?

<I've heard that a lot, in Dogma and the Clerks animated series...what on earth does it mean?>
No one but Jason Mews knows... thats assuming even HE knows WTF it means. In real life (At least before Chasing Amy), he is even MORE of a stoner than Jay!
The best way to tell how much of a stoner Jay is by listening to the comentary tracks for View Askew stuff:
(In order of Comentary track)

Clerks: None really. He was passed out on the floor drunk. He also was quite wasted on the set. This was taped while they were filming Mallrats)

Dogma: He is awake through this and even gives some nice insight.

Mallrats: HOLY $H17! Jay is SOBER.

[The various discussions happening in the CR are rather spectacularly interrupted by something very large hitting the shields. And again. A third time. A look out the window reveals it to be a Cruxshadow stealth fighter, repeatedly ramming the shields with its phoenix crasher weapon. The next ram finally, FINALLY brings down the shields, whereupon the Cruxshadow lands and a spectacularly ticked off Wilek emerges. He looks around for a bit, espies Mr. Disconnect, and eschewing theatrics for once, strips him nekkid, wraps a string of Chinese firecrackers around his loins, and lights the whole thing.] Wondering where I've been? So am I. I haven't had the opportunity to establish any more contact than the occasional (very occasional) e-mail. And of course my shameful neglect of this place. <simmer> <creates several dozen clones of Mr. Disconnect, doses them out of their minds on crack and speed, and sets them at each other's throats> To the new business!

Gside> <<You do realize that electric heaters are just big honking resistors>> If they honk, I'd recommend taking them to the repairman or the exorcist. <<But just having a harem...>> Granted, there'd be no shortage of experimental subjects. <<the captain's daughter is also the cat o' nine tails>> That must have required some interesting engineering. (Were the engineers Japanese? Cause that would explain the cat DNA.) <<And the more recent additions were made by people who have been breathing Jersey air.>> Yow. Sounds like I should either avoid the place altogether or bring an e-suit. O_O <<Now that is a scary thought. So where's Wilek?>> I wish I knew. O_o <<The more important interpretation of the question is why isn't he here?>> Gads, you have no idea. I shall spend the better part of a year sorting out the repercussions of the latest incursion... <<GC? DC? XB?>> My favorite would have to be the GC, although the DC has done some interesting stuff. <<And didn't they steal the latin bits from Carmina Burana?>> Yup; I think Uematsu-sama mentioned using some of it. <> Me too...my opinion of Nintendo is similar to Imzadi's of Apple (and Sony is my Microsoft); since Sega left the industry, Nintendo is the only manufacturer left that seems to have a clue what it's doing IMO. The X-Box looks like it's going to stink even more than the PS2, which at least has a *few* good games (I want Zone Of The Enders and Silent Hill 2...and Soul Reaver 2...and Shadowman 2...and Twisted Metal Black...OK, more than I thought, but I still flatly refuse to give them $300 for the thing)...<> Oh it wasn't the CIA...I WISH it were that simple. (Being abducted by aliens can really ruin your day.) <<<>: One can only hope.>> You lot are that addicted to me? Hmm. As a rule, I consider addictions shameful and/or pathetic, but every rule has its exception. 8) <<I'd say go for Bach's Brandenburgs.>> I tend to prefer Rachmaninoff's...uhh, that one thing. The creepy piano thing. I don't remember what it was called, but I have a MID of it.

Imzadi> <<A snake-shaped garg really isn't all that interesting in this universe.>> How 'bout this? [Wilek produces from nowhere a giant severed head with ten legs, five eyes on the ends of skinless giraffe necks, and seven mouths that vomit skeletal arms that do stupid little dances.] I call him Foofy. <> And there goes my desire to attend. I'm really more effective on the Internet anyhow--I can bring my insanity to bear with greater efficiency, and the reality is more mutable here, allowing me to imprint my madness upon everyone and everything within reach. <> Frankly he wouldn't have much to react to in my ficverse. Jeff on the other hand... <<They've really got my balls in a vice grip.>> Then they're amateurs. Own they not a belt sander? <<They've really got my balls in a salad shooter.>> Now THAT shows promise. <<They've really got my balls in a juice maker.>> I note ascending levels of talent here. How long an interval are we talking about? <<Actually, anything falling from the sky scares me.>> So, I should cancel my scheduled rain of still-beating hearts and broken glass? <<The sky should be blue, clear, and having nothing falling from it.>> I tend to prefer snow, with occasional blood or frogs. <> You're very fortunate that you haven't been inside my head. <<Bow chika bow.>> Frankly I prefer Faith & The Muse. :P <<Its not bad, told from the two perspectives of Anakin/Obi-Wan and Raith Sienar (CEO of Sienar Fleet Systems, the company that later develops the TIE fighter).>> Sienar? Oooh...must have. (I'm obsessed with SFS/Santhe-Sienar designs. I probably have pics of virtually every TIE whatever that there has ever been a pic of.) <> I don't know...it seems to me that the dark side isn't invariably evil, though it is more easily used for that than the light side...they are two different components of the same energy matrix after all. Dark side abilities do seem more destruction oriented, but it's not like destruction is always a bad thing...The whole dark=evil thing seems to relate more to the inherent ease of corruption of sentient beings than to any intrinsic properties of the Force IMO. (I've heard that before the Krath (I think that's what they were called) messed everything up, both sides were used by the Jedi Order. Probably the Lightsiders were a healer/scholar caste and the Darksiders a warrior caste.) <<The Vong are a race from outside the galaxy that exists outside the Force; that is, the Jedi cannot sense them. The mutilate themselves and others as some sort of disgusting sacrifice to their gods, they revel in pain and death. They use no machinery, only bizzarely mutated creatures as space vessels, weapons, communcation devices, etc. Its just really disgusting, especially the way they mutilate themselves and their slaves.>> Cool...I've read about them in one of the Essential Guides; I'm thinking of buying whatever novels they're in (if I ever find out which ones those are). 'Tis about time Star Wars began to veer into outright horror. <<Kyle renounced his faith (YAY!)>> How is this a good thing? O_o <> Any word can be made a verb by verbing it. Verbing weirds language. <<Until I team up with Wilek...>> A fait accompli--our accounting departments have finished tying together our financial resources, and the communication infrastructure is coming along swimmingly. Welcome to the team. :) <<<>: It is. Or at least it will be, when I take over.>> Hm. <taps talons> Ah well, orientation will attend to that. (Ever see A Clockwork Orange?) <<<<I'm destined to have a friendly relationship with your answering machine>>: That sounds kinda gross.>> You should hear an answering machine message I have. >:) <> Do you hijack planes by threatening to taunt the passengers? <<I'm not a member of the OTHER mile-high club.>> I've heard of that. What is it, people who commit suicide on airplanes? And take everyone else with them? Cool...<<its gotta suck having a doctor stick his fingers up your @$$>> This is why I hate "modern" medicine. If the doctors cared more about their patients than their wallets, we would already have evolved past invasive techniques. It's like waving a chicken leg. <<Yeah, but they're gonna let me drink.>> I've always wondered what is so great about alcohol. Near as I can tell, it makes you dizzy and nauseous; if I want to do that, I'll listen to 60s and 70s music. :P <<Some are gay, some are whipped. The rest are bitter.>> Count me among the bitter ones. Men are so stupid. Why is it that so many of them care more about rutting than getting things done? And they're in charge? It's almost, ALMOST enough to get me to renounce my Y chromosome. :P <<its been decided that I should never breed>> You too? I'm not breeding until I've decided that the world has gone on long enough. <> I prefer the Forest of Suicides. I typically go camping with two idiots, record a tearful apology, then get killed in an old house. <<This song's just six words long...>> If I told you what the 14 words were, they wouldn't mean anything anymore... <<It goes up there with beautiful on the inside on the list of phrases to which I answer what does that even mean?>> A digestive system is actually kind of cool looking once it's been dried and mounted properly. <<When I take over every day will be a three-day weekend 8-)>> Jam yesterday and jam tomorrow, but never jam today. <<Im gonna die in March of 2043 (mark your calendar), most likely of a heart attack but possibly from alien abduction (I wasnt aware anal probes were that bad).>> Oh you haven't encountered some of the species that I have. <> <ponders, then gets *that look*> <<Did you ever see the guy that had breast implants on the Man Show?>> No, but I saw another episode of it. I was jonesing so bad to march in there with a machine gun and a pickaxe and slake my thirsts on those mindless malodourous men and the stupid sluts they slavered over. <<<<It is offical Hell has frozen over>>: Sappy? LM? FS? Any confirmation of this?>> On the last surveyance submitted by my contacts within the Choir Of Dissonance, it did seem that the lake of black ice near the Valley Of Hinnom was expanding somehow. The lake itself is unusual--what is sustained ice of any kind doing near one of the Inferno's hottest areas?--but the fact that it's expanding...maybe the lake's ruling warlord has got a bug up his beehind to take over Molech's territory. This should be fun--last time that happened, the matter was concluded with a very public duel at the Wargate. <<Most of us are just horribly bizarre one way or another.>> Except for me, who is horribly bizarre in a veritable panoply of ways. <> Does he creep and leap and glide and slide across the floor? <<Im updating my links section on my website so I want everyone whos got their own site to POST A LINK!>> I would, but there's nothing on my site worth seeing yet except the artwork (I think I'll still be stuck with my current fic when the second ice age comes), and I didn't even create most of that, people with talent did. :P (Speaking of whom, where's Demona May been? By the time I got around to e-mailing her, I lost her address. O_o) <<Sex is better than no sex.>> Oh, you don't know what I know about the history and chemistry of the matter...<<No sex, no alcohol, no rock music?>> The former two conditions I have no problem with, but the latter...oh dear. 90% of rock may be unlistenable (at least to my pathologically eclectic tastes), but the remaining ten percent definitely makes up for it. No reason to throw the baby, loud and smelly as it is, out with the bathwater. <<BECAUSE THEY CAN.>> Nothing is its own justification...<<But if God can do anythingcan he tend bar with any skills?>> Remember that one wedding? ;) <<Thats okay, I think I can live with a DLD.>> Is that anything like a DRD? I love those. Especially Talyn's scary red spiky ones. ^_^ <<youre not allowed to use the phone, or the computer (oops!)>> Wow. I've always considered them entertainment. Much as I do almost everything else...<<JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK!!! I can not WAIT to see this movie. Its gonna f*cking rock!>> Ehh...my tastes run more to Dogma...potential apocalypses are cool. <<You never thought I was really SJ?>> Well, your styles are similar, but his humour is quite a bit more subtle and referential, near as I can tell. Maybe you're his id or something. <<Dont take an AK to school.>> Take a bodyguard with two AKs. <<Anything-MON is the DUMBEST THING EVER CREATED>> I do think Pokemon was over-marketed and ripped off way too much, but the game itself had some pretty innovative core gameplay ideas. <<Then I saw American Pie 2 with my parents. It was REALLY funny, easily as good as the first one.>> Which isn't saying much...<<Yesterday my parents and I spent the evening at the Getty of Art. I hereby declare that this will be my World Domination Headquarters.>> I haven't decided what mine will be yet...probably something of my own design, reminiscent of Ultimecia's castle or the Ashford mansion (from Final Fantasy 8 and Resident Evil: Code Veronica, respectively). Failing that, probably the Giger Bar in Chur, Switzerland.

DPH> <<The guy controlling the arena hazards can make or break a battlebot>> I thought the hazards were on random timers? <> The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. Muha! <<Yo, Wilek, I think you're right there lurking>> And I think you're right. :P <<Please come out and join us.>> In the process of trying to do that. Real life is being very annoying. O_o <<Still missing one Wilek. Has DC been bothering Wilek?>> Among other things...<> Everyone will be safe under my rule, except those who attack us, and I know you won't since you'll be safe. ^_^ (Is it...SAFE? Ehe.) <<I've tried to bait Wilek into posting already.>> <chomps furiously> <<PERFORMER (DEAF)>> Didn't stop Ludwig Van. :P

Fire Storm> <<Just like I will NEVER have a e-mail address @gateway.com or @packardbell.com>> How 'bout @fatchicksinpartyhats.com or @istillhateyou.com or @ithinkigaveyouaids.com or @spittingonyourgrave.com? I know where you can get them and more--www.evilemail.com. Coolest domain names ever. <<Is there a conversion to convert a metric assload to a standard imperial assload?>> I'm sure American and French proctologists are working on it. Unfortunately the project is going slowly; the original test subjects were Disney execs, and the presence of their heads tended to skew readings. <> R. Lee Ermey? Oh, he seemed well enough aware of it in The Frighteners... >:) <<showed ABSOLUTELY no blood, even if it would have helped the scene>> That's what really stood out at me. Someone gets shot in the head, or gets their arm shot off, right on screen, and there is NOTHING? What species is this? <<Southern Ohio, like he has always been.>> Perhaps it will benefit me to allow you to continue believing that. <muha> <<Italian professor Severino Antinori are set to unveil their plans>> Holy schiesse. O_O <<Speaking of clones "Star Wars: Episode II -- Attack of the Clones." Anyone looking forward to this?>> Looking forward to the movie, yes, but the name is stupid. Oh well--The Empire Strikes Back had a stupid name, and look how cool it was. <<Barbara Gordon walks in Beyond.>> Maybe by then they had neural repair technology? <<The only thing of any quality in that mag IS the articles.>> I would probably subscribe to a text-only version. (Did you know that one issue featured orthometric views or something of Darth Maul's shuttlecraft? OK, maybe not an ENTIRELY text-only version...) <<This body is not suited for me. I did not choose it. I would NOT have chosen it if I had a choice. So i am making myself a new one.>> Intriguing. Seriously, I want to know more. Share your research? Especially regarding the eventual transfer? <<It appears that Square Soft is making a RPG for DISNEY!>> I'm guessing Gargoyles is too much to hope for?

Aaron> <<"YOU DIDN'T STAY FOR BLACK SABBATH?!?!?!?!? What the f**k was the point of going to *Ozzfest* and not staying to see Black Sabbath?!?>> Who or what is Black Sabbath? Or Ozzfest for that matter? <<They quit making G4 cubes. ;)>> The silvery cubes with the transparent peripherals? Ah schiesse. >:/ Do they at least still make the eyeball speakers? <<Caption this.>> "Her glasses finally having failed her, the amazing Crimson Geomancer does not realize that a scrap of cartilage thrown from Wilek's latest orgy of violence is not in fact a soggy potato chip." <<Seriously, what would pulling an Aaron entail?>> A few fishing gaffs, some chains, and an F-14. :P

Dreamie> <> I remember that! ^_^ I have the ROM, actually, but MAME won't play it. Not one version that I have ever tried. :( I've pretty much given up on MAME; the only game it will play is Altered Beast, and recent versions won't even play that.

Emambu> <<That sounds more like Firestorm's backyard than Lain's. ;)>> I always thought FS' backyard was more like Battlebots. Or Junkyard Wars. <<Steel wool and matches can be an interesting combination too.>> You have potential. >:) You own a cheese grater, I trust?

Jackal> Welcome back! ^_^ <<the excuse of a god we have>> Which one? Ra, I'm guessing; he hasn't bothered getting off of his kilted hiney and DOING something in like eons.

SJ> <<From the depths of hell I come!>> Wouldja mind passing on a message? Tell Sargatanas that if he doesn't pay up, I will personally break whatever he's using for fingers when I come for him. Thankee. <<I'm going to have to keep notes and plans on the various devious and/or delinquent acts that I must commit during the Gathering weekend.>> I would recommend leaving severed heads with things nailed to them in various people's hotel rooms, shaving people's heads and carving sigils into their scalps while they sleep, and then on the final day of the con, turning out the electricity and bringing a few vozhd to snack on whoever they happen to run into. <<My neighbor used to get his dog liquored up, and animal cruelty issues aside, the end result of that experiment was always amusing.>> I heard about a rock star whose dog ate an entire bag of mescaline tablets that he accidentally left out. Poor thing ran around in circles for three days and stared at itself in the mirror for twelve hours. <<I'd have an ulcer so big that people would swear it was a parasitic twin growing out of my distended stomach.>> [Wilek seems to remember something, looks at a half-empty vial lying on his desk, gets this 'oh schiesse' look, and quickly hides the vial.] Um, dude? Start buying bigger clothes. If possible, stay out of public places until the fission. <<We are all slouching towards Gehenna.>> [Wilek pokes his roommate: "Dude, you slept through your alarm." Malkav (the roomate): "URSMRTRNI? DLUR, TRKE." Wilek: "Well if you wanna be late to the party, that's your business, but I am not gonna miss Tzimisce's lecture on flaying and tanning." Malkav: "BLAH! MOKOLA MEMBE DAHURAGAR!" Wilek: "Well frell you too; it's not like you're paying your half of the rent."] <<Is it just me, or has EVERYONE now officially visited lain, except me?>> I haven't either, and I fear that I don't have the option of doing so--according to some rather distressing axial kinematics equations that my computers have been crunching, I seem to exist in a different dimension from the rest of the fandom, somewhere in one of the mirror worlds that's just *this far apart* from the real world. Or maybe I'm in the real world and you lot are in the mirror world? It's hard to tell with axial kinematics. Or maybe I'm just weird. <<That's a pretty good average. I would say I'm maybe 20 - 80, but only when I'm feeling puritanical.>> My percentage depends upon how far the CR is willing to go violence-wise. Granted, it's shot up a bit since I saw the last half of Pink Floyd's "The Wall". Gads I hope I don't have nightmares about that flick. Or maybe it IS one of my nightmares...some of it looks awfully familiar; do you know if Bob Geldof or whatever his name is employs any telepaths? <<I'd much rather see Broadway fight Nikolai Volkoff or Nikita Koloff. And if there are any of you out there understand that reference, you should be as ashamed of yourself as I am.>> How bout Zandor Vorkov? <<Jackie is also being enticed to star in the motion picture version of "Soul Calibur", the popular video game.>> Who on earth is he going to play? Offhand, I can't think of any characters who look like him...Although he could be the guy with the freaky mask. <<Can someone please tell me of a time, long ago, when EVERY MOVIE ON THE PLANET DID NOT TRY AND RIP OFF THE MATRIX?????!!!!?????>> Geh. My stuff would be more like Star Wars meets Clive Barker and Tim Burton in a large mixing bowl, with a teaspoon of Kevin Smith, just a pinch of Monty Python and a little story consulting by the Theatre du Grand Guignol. <<Lieberman? I was quaking in my boots that that Nazi was a bullet away from the most powerful office on the planet.>> Hear here! That SOB wanted to take away everything I love, everything I need for my research. I wouldn't care if Bush had the IQ of frelling mayonnaise, I would prefer him to Gore, simply because it would keep Lieberman out of office. <<Please, God, if you are listening, let the Wilekian plans for world domination come to fruition. Soon.>> Fruition, yes. Soon? Um. Depends on your time scale. <<When it comes to women, men are usually only after one thing, and it isn't in your pocketbook. If it is, than perhaps you should seek medical attention.>> Have you seen some of the stuff that my staff's fleshcrafter is capable of? Freud would scheisse bricks. <<Big Bob's Bitch Tits.>> Why did "Fish Heads" just spring full blown into my mind? <<You are the all singing, all dancing sh!t of the world.>> There's a Dogma joke in here somewhere that I can't *quite* get out of its caul. <<For fun, though, go pick up a copy of the Greater Key of Solomon, or the Golden Bough by Frazier (all 13 volumes, none of that abridged crap). Good bed-time reading. ;)>> Interesting. Closest thing I've found is the Chronicles Of The Black Labyrinth. <<Hey, did anyone else check out Samurai Jack tonight? Jesus, that thing is great!>> Hear here! >:D It's got everything--time travel, action, violence (OK, only against robots, but they were awfully organic looking on the inside), comedy, mystery (When did dogs become sentient? Did they evolve, has it been that long? Or did Aku engineer them as cheap labor?), and one of the best villains EVER. (I eagerly await the action figure, to place in my dark pantheon alongside such luminaries as Edea, the Borg Queen, Darth Vader, Major Maxim, Ganondorf Dragmire, and the Mad Hatter.) The pacing is a bit Dragonball Z for my liking, but not too. <<Cause a dead horse deserves a good beating!>> I really ought to give you a job in advertising.

Ordell> <<if I had to choose a favorite, one that I could watch twenty times a day and still have the energy to watch it again, it would be the original Planet of the Apes. So, you may think, I'd be so against this new version coming out.>> heh...I tend to be the other way around; if I see an older movie I really like, I tend to want it to be remade so it can take advantage of newer technology...Ever see The Abominable Dr. Phibes? That is begging for a Tim Burton remake. >:D

Lynati> <<...and does anybody in here know if the guidebook for the dice game "Carebears: Call of Cthulu" is online anywhere?>> Carebears: Call of...huh? Hm...<extremely evil grin> Must check this out...<<we try to make sure that from now on, at least one of the months features a movie poster that has Goliath in drag.>> Wouldn't Brooklyn make a cuter chick? :P

Vicisscereb the Refulgent aka Warpmind> <<I've constructed, for a GURPS game, a special coilgun that will hurl adventurers in armor. Into a wall. At about .1C. Does 2000D-4000 seem like a reasonable damage roll?>> Ho-lee SCHIESSE! O_O Is there ever anything left of them? <<sure, there are probably *some* normal-seeming people here>> Good actors. :P <<Here's a challenge: find someone who actually went out and PAID for Doom 2.>> That would be me, there goes the challenge. :P <<romance novel in a Lovecraftian setting... :/ *Shudder* I have the weirdest feeling that Wilek is coming back...>> [Female lead: "But you and I are from such different worlds! How could we ever find peace and happiness?" Azathoth: <unintelligible babbling> FL: "I will always love you!" Azathoth: <flatulates in five-fugue and grows several new mouths>] <<And believe me, you don't want to know why Lain shouldn't be let near a popsickle. End of discussion. It's for your own good.>> Well, considering what she can do with a mechanical pencil (Yer gonna have to teach me that sometime, my little maple-flavored serial experiment ^_^)...muhahaha. <<someone has used my name and address and ordered me an inflatable doll, COD. A *male* inflatable doll. I'm tellin' you, if I ever learn of the culprit's identity, I will advocate means of execution that most likely are banned in all civilized countries. And quite a few uncivilized ones, as well. Death by a Thousand Sores, combined with blood transfusions and a good ER team sounds like a good start... }:|>> Will you let me play with him (the miscreant, not the doll)? >8) I'm sure I could dig up a few rusty fish hooks... <<Sign of the Four>> Wasn't there a Giger painting by that name? <<Which spurred a substantial number of raised eyebrows and gasps as three people entered the channel between the previous tomato-related line and that one>> Hee... =<blazemore> wow...there's a 9" french fry right here from jack in the box...i ate it :( <Hatter> heh [gloone (gloone@t1o28p10.telia.com) has joined #ramen] <blazemore> i got all 9" into my mouth at the same time then swallowed <gloone> uh oh, that's not what i want to hear when i join a channel.= Actual conversation. <<a tickle fight with Freddy Krueger>> How 'bout a head butting contest with Pinhead? Patty-cake with Ed Scissorhands? <<some of the local bumpkins are suspecting me of being guilty of raping a schoolgirl here... which I did not do, obviously.>> Oh dear. >:( Please tell me that Norway is as relentless about establishing due process and meticulous examination of evidence as America? <<finally, the rapist has been identified.>> YES! ^_^ Too bad you couldn't implement the spanking thing. <<Dunno which revolution, though. Depends on which one I'm aiding strikes first...>> There is but one, all are one under the enfolding wings of the Nereus Project. Muhahaha. <<anyone here ever heard of a BBC-made TV series based on the Chronicles of Narnia?>> I think I saw a few minutes of it once. Looked kinda creepy, so I think I'd like it. <<Well, I found a midi composition utility online... what I've managed to create with it so far, uh, well... the word "pathetic" doesn't cover it.>> Same here. O_o I am utterly illiterate when it comes to sheet music, which is unfortunate since I have a lot of ideas...

Computer names> None for this one, and I doubt it will live long enough to get one, although I might call my next one Qyrl (the goddess of octopi).

Lain> <<okay, i got one of those disney CD roms that comes in cereal, you know the kind? and i put it in my computer and it doesnt have the stuff to run it. MY COMPUTER ISNT GOOD ENOUGH TO RUN GAMES FROM A CEREAL-BOX CD ROM!!!!!!>> I know the feeling--mine didn't have enough space to run the CD-ROM I got with my Lego Bionicle until I uninstalled Clive Barker's Undying. O_o <<i had just switched my diskman to "profit in peace" and was approaching the road when all of a sudden this rather large, green tank drove by.. i kinda blinked, and idly wondered if they were ALLOWED to drive tanks through campus..>> Why does nothing that cool ever happen in my neck of the woods? :P <> How well is your electrical system shielded from outside interference? <<LAIN-IS-DYSFUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIP ISSUES>> My friend, we are *all* dysfunctional. Never underestimate the theraputic value of comparing notes. ;) <<was up till at LEAST 4am having a REALLY BIG argument with gunjack and i feel kinda sad and lonely and kinda sorta hollow.>> :( <hugZ...for everything> I'm really bad at comforting people with words, so I use hugs. Hope it's OK. :)

Spacebabie> <<Babbages((Main place to buy video games))is gettin cooler! They have toys, well collectables, FF9 wallscrolls, Akira action figures Tenchi action figures, matrix and Shrek stuff and....EVA's and Gundams...>> Oh yes...I got a couple of FF9 figures (Eiko Carol and the sasquatch guy) and a chibi Veritech there recently. ^_^ (I wonder when the Barker/McFarlane Tortured Souls figures will be out. Last I heard, it would be the end of July, but that's come and gone...I know Toys R Us wouldn't carry them, and they're the only online toy retailer I can think of offhand, so if Babbages or Electronics Boutique doesn't get them, I'm pretty much frelled. O_o The same applies to the new Soul Reaver figures.) <<Southpark was at its sickest, although very hilarious.>> Gah, I came out of it feeling like I needed a ritual cleansing. Which, granted, happens every other week or so (my area is riddled with Banes, thanks to a portal to Hell I keep in my sock drawer), but never before as a result of South Park. O_o I liked the more recent one with Towlie a lot better. <<She walked up to Joey Fatone of Nsync and whispered "I'm not wearing any underwear." He said "Why are you telling me this?" and walked off.>> HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA<gasp>AAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA!!! >:D Maybe that's one member of N'Stink I won't have to execute...<<That Lucasart game it hasn't anything to do with naughty hentai tentacles does it?>> Actually, it's a sequel to the NES game Maniac Mansion. There was a tentacle-critter in that game that was trying to get a recording contract or something. I think; it's been a long time. O_o <<Now is your time to make an entrance!>> Trust me, I'm trying...O_o <<Anyone else been watching this?>> My GODS I love that show. Normally I hate reality television but this is so...*twisted*. <<Gawd that Kriseten is hard to get rid off.>> I think she's made a deal with the killer(s).

David G> <<Not that I was in any danger of dying - unless you can die of fatigue induced by deleting Sircam emails...>> Am I the only one who hasn't gotten one of these? Being circumspect about revealing one's e-mail address can pay off, it seems. ;) (Ah schiesse, did I just jinx it?) <<Demona vs The Joker>> OOOOOOOOOooooOOoOOOOhhhhh...That would be interesting. I've always thought the Joker was cool, but until I read the novel No Man's Land, I never really realized just how messed up he is. Now I worship him.

Xanathar> <<BTW Warps,Firestorm,did you ever play Serious Sam?,it's like old-school Doom but with a kick-ass 3d engine(I swear mowing down 30 enemies at once with a machine gun is a regular thing in this game,it's great stress relief! :)>> I have that! ^_^ What really blew me away was the graphics; they were mind-blowing even on my pathetic little PII-450 with a Voodoo Banshee video card. I can just imagine what they'll be like on an NVidia GeForce 3...<rivers of drool> The Serious engine's graphics abilities must be really efficient.

Robby> <<my Wolfwood figure broke his right arm off>> Nick Wolfwood, the one with the transcendently cool crucifix weapon? Gah...mine's foot fell off as soon as I took him out of the package. O_o <<The the Matrix bit in Shrek was great>> Not to mention the one in Conker's Bad Fur Day. >8) <<skimming through an issue of Toyfare, (Which showcases some badass toys)>> I LOVE THAT MAGAZINE!!! ^_^ <<I noticed... AN Inspector Gadget toy line. And Dr. Claw is one of the toys. His face is quite prominent and visible on the toy and its well... Dissapointing. He's just this... angry sort of looking guy with a big nose. I always expected him to have some sort of mask or demon face similar to his orginizations logo or something...>> Yeah, what a ripoff. >:/ He looked like this mad scientist guy; mad scientists are cool, but Claw is not one of them. I always figured that he'd undergone some manner of hideous accident caused by Gadget that put him into a Vader-style encounter suit. That sure explained the voice. <<That was probably one of the new Scooby Movies, ZOmbie Island, Witches Ghost>> I love those! They were such a change of pace from the show, where they never encountered anything actually cool...I got so tired of that. Apparently so did they, to judge from the first bit of Zombie Island.

Dubble> Kewl name. ^_^ <<Um..I have a question for the room at large..Especially those who do big posts..How long does it take? *L*>> I've been working on this one since July 16.

Jan> <<let's say that you are right about being an athiest and there really isn't a God to answer to after death - what have I lost by believing that there is a God and a Heaven? nothing. But, if I'm right and there is a God, Heaven, etc. and you are wrong - brings a whole new meaning to the phrase, "there's hell to be paid" ;)>> I've always liked Pascal's Gambit. Something...oddly Machiavellian about it. But then, that's probably just a function of how my mind works. :P <<Every time I hear it, I think I'm supposed to put my breast in an envelope and send it to someone.>> ROTFL!

Kathy> <> For some reason, accents tend to drift in and out of me with no warning at all. Mostly British, with just a pinch of Scottish or German when I'm in certain kinds of moods. <bangs cranium> How many people are in here anyway?

GXB> <<doesn't that just stock Hell up with sluts, rock stars and party animals? Groups like that tend to enjoy getting together. So Hell must be a non stop party place.>> Would be, if the sluts, rock stars, and party animals weren't so busy burning and freezing and being eviscerated and impaled and having salt poured into their wounds and slowly lowered into acid and boiled in their own rendered fat and hm...wonder if they're hiring. I'll bring my olive fork and a rubber duckie I saw on EBay. Devil Duckie, you're the one <quack quack> You make torment so much fun...

Funny thing about Hell--it was was not originally constructed with human habitation in mind, not even imprisonment. It was made for the rebel angels, and the humans there are quite out of place, for all eternity--they're there because, basically, as a species entire, they took a very serious wrong turn. And as if that weren't miserable enough, there's the matter of the *lovely* environment. And I wouldn't be surprised if most of the more creatively twisted features are the doing of the original inhabitants, just because they needed to take out their rage and frustration at their imprisonment and found human souls the easiest target. That's the extent of what I know about Hell in real life. My ficverse...hoo boy. Don't get me started unless you want pages and pages of rambling about geography and politics and Cenob The Enfolder and who knows what all else. :P

Gunjack> MOOCHIE-SNOOTCHIE-BOOTCHIE-GOOCHIES!!!! :D :D :D Welcome back to the carnival of blood. Here, have a plasma thrower! ^_^ <<just in time to have blood samples taken.>> That's never fun. O_o

Fleur> Welcome back! ^_^ <<WE DO NOT SOUND LIKE THE CROCODILE MAN!!! REALLY!!>> Do you sound like Claudia Black? (This would be a good thing.) <<literally had me laughing my @ss off.>> Would you like some Super glue? :)

Ravyn> SHNOOGIE!!! <tackle hugz> (Refresh my memory: do I still owe you an e-mail? From, like, long ago? Because I'm stupid. O_o) <> Cool! ^_^ <<Should I be scared or honored that I'm being compared to Montgomery Burns? :)>> Honored, I assure you. Welcome to the conspiracy. >:) <<I'm listening to Ricky Martin songs right now...>> I have to admit, there are certain melodic patterns in the few of his songs that I don't hate, although the songs as a whole require serious reworking.

Kaioto> <<I'll go to confession 5 years later and feel really sorry about it and whip myself with barbed pieces of leather covered in salt and citric acid concentrate.>> I do consulting if you want. Willing victims are a touch less satisfying, but the machines will get a good workout at least.

TheSpark Tests>
Gay Test> I am 39% gay, darlings; 78% of the test takers were gayer than me. (Is that even a word?) I expected to be quite a bit less gay than this, since I'm even less interested in becoming involved with males than with females. Maybe they're like mainstream society and think that a straight guy who isn't hitting on everything with a birth canal is secretly gay. <rolls eyes>
Stress Test> 6%, "Which barely registers. Get a job." Well frell you too. Makes one wonder what one has to answer to get a 0%.
Slut Test> 4% slutty, cleaner than 99% of the world. Tell me something I didn't know. <puts on an ivory crown with five equidistant horns and a little ruby skull in the forehead, looking like something an evil angel would wear> How's this for a sigil of purity with a creepy twist?
Bastard Test> 23% bastard, 13% of which is tard (huh)? 90% of people are more bastardical than me. I'm just so nice. ^_^
Match Test> Apparently I'm a "breadwinner [the picture was none too flattering]...off in man-land tending crops and killing Indians with your rifle". Well that won't do. I like Indians (they're cool looking), and I'm not about to get dirt and cow schiesse all over my claws. (For some reason the test thinks I'm 30. O_o)
Greed Test> 41% greedy; 81% of people are greedier than me, and I'd accept the Mayo Of The Looms Special for $212 (yeah right).
Purity Test> 95% pure; only 1% are purer than me...and, interestingly enough, there is *no one* exactly as pure as I am...

Niamhgold> <<The sharks are gathering, apparently, in Florida, explaining all those shark attacks. My marine bio friend Colin has been sent there to study what's going on, as scientists are baffled. The video footage is freaky. Tons of sharks all in 4-foot water. I mean _hundreds_, and they're not happy at being driven towards shore (who can blame 'em, poor things?). But when the boats went out to study them...they vanished. Helicopter cameras couldn't find any trace of them. It's *weird*. I'm wondering if some sort of fissure has opened up.>> Holy schiesse, the Rokea have finally decided to do away with us. O_o (Count the White Wolf RPG references in this post and win a prize! The prize being a full and forceful understanding of just how pathetic an obsessed geek I am.) <<Wow, there seems to be a large Dr. Claw following :) I was always miffed that they never showed his face. But, Robby, I'm gonna have to check out this doll you're talking about. Me, I always thought he was just a computerized entity :)>> What if he really WAS the spring-mounted arm in the chair in the opening sequence, and that was just one of his command nodes? :o

Gavin> <<Snooch to the Motherf!cking Nooch!>> I've heard that a lot, in Dogma and the Clerks animated series...what on earth does it mean? O_o

And to make reparations for my absence...[In an eyeblink, a fairly large stasis coffin appears. Wilek: "Ladies, gentlemen, and others, an object lesson." The coffin unfolds like a flower, revealing a painfully-bound Mr. Disconnect, and a fetid mass of squirming tentacles, the latter being, as always, representative of Real Life. Wilek: "Once, there was an innocent little gargoyle." A marionette of Wilek appears. "He wanted nothing other than to live his life, play his games, read his books, and talk to his friends. But various outside forces wished to prevent this. Forces such as our friend Mr. Disconnect." A marionette of DC appears, conks the Wilek puppet on the head with a general protection fault, and pantomimes derisive laughter. "For, Mr. Disconnect did not like the little gargoyle, and did everything he could to keep him from talking to his friends. As did real life." A toy version of the tentacles lopes in, looking like nothing so much as an embiggened Wacky Wallwalker, and rolls laboriously after the terrified puppet Wilek. It eventually catches him and crams him into its mouth. "Things looked bleak for our hero, but if there's one thing any innocent little gargoyle knows, it's that someday you have to stop being innocent, and make an example of those who try your patience. Hence the following." Wilek produces, as if from thin air, some manner of monstrous device, with tubes sticking out of it, two large bowls, some mechanisms between them, something that looks suspiciously like the input funnel of a wood chipper, and a crank on the side. He inserts one tentacle of the tentacle monster into the funnel, hooks a tube to Mr. Disconnect's carotid artery, and begins turning the crank. A jaunty waltz, sounding like the theme of a merry-go-round in a horror movie, issues forth from the organ whilst Mr. Disconnect's blood slowly pours forth into one of the bowls, and the monster is reduced to a viscous pulp and poured into the other bowl. After a few agonized minutes, DC is drained and the monster is liquefied. Wilek gives the bowl of blood to a pack of midget vampire catgirls, who cavort in it while Wilek enacts the second half of the twisted sideshow: He hooks the tentacle pulp bowl to the tube leading from DC's artery and begins turning the crank in reverse, pumping the liquid carcass into his bloodstream. DC screams with renewed force as the abomination infests him, changes him, mutates him into a random assemblage of twitching organs and bleeding tissues. As for the catgirls, they have torn each other to shreds in an argument over who gets the most of DC's blood. "This concludes tonight's programming. Farewell, and drive safely."]

Hm. Seems like there's a lot I've forgotten...gah. Got to follow the place more closely in the future. [Wilek distributes necessary hugs, welcomes, and wellwishes, then his head falls off and, after the manner of the title character of The Thing, sprouts spider legs and eye stalks, and scuttles off.]

Christine>> Yes, the visit went well. The movies were great and get this...sweetie sent me a free movie pass to see American Pie 2. I went to see it last Monday, it was worth it, better than the first one. And I'm going to be sending him two free movie passes soon. BTW, do you think I could hook up with your publisher and editor on my novel? Talk to you later.

Gavin>> What a sweet surprise to see you post here on one of your roommates computer. I know you won't have internet for a few more days, but that was so sweet of you. I love your little surprises.

THE BOOKS ARE HERE! Woke up this afternoon to find a box of my comp copies of Silversilk, and it's so pretty! Looks really good. I'm very pleased. And this means they should now be available to order through any of the online bookstores, and regular bookstores can order them for you through Ingram. More info coming soon once Tim and I know how we're going to handle peddling them ourselves.

Silversilk is ElfLore Book I, and it takes place twenty years after the end of Archmage of the Universe. It is the story of Ariana Mirida's first visit to the Emerin, where she intends to clear her family name. Among the obstacles she encounters is Alinor Elyvorrin (father of guess-who?), the sinister knight Sir Tiercel, a Morvalan warrior-priest, a renegade shaper-mage, and fending off the persistent advances of her traveling companion, Talopean priest Micha Narrin ; )

Enough commercials, now a few quick replies:

Fleur > LOL, it's funny you should mention Illuminati dentistry ... one of my entries in the upcoming GURPS Dark Places is Delphi Dental, operated by a descendant of one of the last Oracles of Delphi, who mixes her own special formula of nitrous oxide ... ; )

Maleficent suit > oh, there will be plenty of pics, soon as I finish the roll and get my film developed! Now I guess I should find a human-form Maleficent costume for me so Becca and I can go trick-or-treating together!

kathy > that gift card isn't as great a blessing as it first seemed, either ... it's only good from Sept. 1 to Sept 8 or something like that. Use it or lose it. I hadn't heard about the Disney stores closing. That's too bad, even though it seems like all they have anymore is Winnie the Pooh stuff.

Tara > yup, it's me. Hope the rest of the visit went well and that you enjoyed all those movies!

Howdy, y'all! :) Well, I survived my first day of classes today...it wasn't too bad, since I only had two...tomorrow will be worse, when I have three classes, including that wonderful Statics class Josh and Gside were telling me about. ;) On another note, I'm listening to Ricky Martin songs right now... ;)

Happy Birthday, Todd!!! Happy late birthday, Greg X!!! :)

Warpmind> <<What shall we scheme about first? Education systems? Tax evasion plots? Vigilante squads? };)>> Hmmm... **grins** Call me old-fashioned, but I'd love to start with the thrill of vigilante squads... ;)

Welcome, Tara. :)

Are you sure HE wasn't the "mastermind"?>> **chuckles** Well, who knows...maybe he's also one... ;) <<Cuz he's your b*tch 8-)>> HEYYYY, there... don't make me come over there! j/k ;) **laughs** <<Oh, just enjoy being a figment.>> Why, thank you. I will. ;) <<Virus? Us mac users know not this word.>> Silly, lucky mac users... ;) <> Doesn't it though??? I LOVE it! I really like the little series where Dilbert and Dogbert blast off in their cubicle to the moon, and discover that's where NASA's been hiding the women who love engineers... ;) <<Will this be more or less interesting than "GB and heather"?>> **laughs** No, no silly...this is just harmless plotting (well, harmless from a relationship perspective...not harmless for those who encounter our vigilante squads...) j/k ;) I just wanna say *definitely* less interesting than GB and Heather. :)

FS> <<Makes me wish I taped it for you.>> **giggles some more** Makes me wish you had too!! Just kidding...don't worry about it. ;)

Speaking of which, I *really* miss Coyote... :(

Greetings all...

First off, a much happy birthday to Greg X and Todd. Hope the two of you have a pleasant one and many more to come. I know Coyote should be doing this, but since I haven't seen anyone else standing in... WHEEL 'ER IN, BOYS!

[The Execution Cake(tm) rolls in, under the power of several creativity demons... when it reaches the center of the CR, Stephen flips a pair of remotes to Todd and Greg, one apiece.]

Pick yer flavors, guys! Enjoy! ^_^

CHRISTINE - Awww, I hope you share pics of Becca-cum-Malificent! ^_^

JOSH IMZADI - <one Smirnoff Ice>: Only one? (snorts) You should try a full batch of homemade wine coolers [recipe: 1 pint of Maddog 20/20 + 1 Liter Sprite]... or, for the real mccoy, try one Particle Projection Cannon [1/3rd Bacardi 151 + 2/3rds Peppermint Schnapps]. That last one will numb your mouth faster than industrial strength novacaine...

### ALERT! OFFICIAL POSTING AHEAD! ###

Thanks to everyone that e-mailed the 2003 Gathering Staff to request for details for the Gathering Bid Mascot contest! Tonight, the full contest details - including the full mascot descriptions - are going out to the entrants, and I hope to see some great artwork from everyone!

*Warpmind enters, smiling faintly.*
Well, I found a midi composition utility online... what I've managed to create with it so far, uh, well... the word "pathetic" doesn't cover it. Methinks I need a LOT of practice. Luckily, I am quite adept at commissioning. };)

Revel: *Wry grin* If you're sending money to Canada, why do you ask *me* about it? Ask Lain, for cryin' out loud! She's there! I've never sent her money! (I did send her the Illuminatus! Trilogy, and a large plushie Pikachu, though, but it's not the same as a money order...)

Ravyn: *Smirk* What shall we scheme about first? Education systems? Tax evasion plots? Vigilante squads? };)

Fleur: The Chronicles of Narnia hardly qualify as a miniseries... the series covered four out of the seven books, after all. (Lion, Witch & Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, Voyage of the Dawn Treader and Silver Chair.) Good show, though, wouldn't you say? :)

Gside: Maybe you're unbreakable, I dunno... have you ever been injured at all? ;) Oh, and who's like us? ;) As for the CD case, well, I've wanted one of those padded cases for some time... I'll take it. :) (Come to think of it, I think I have a few spare cases lying around after misburnt discs... maybe I can use them to hold some new discs etc. after I use the worthless junk for target practice...)

Fire Storm: Well, if we're talking the Alien: Resurrection Ripley, it's neither pure Xeno nor human. ;) Oh, and Pervert's Row is at SexyLosers, right? (Maybe I should check it out someday...)

Josh: Get you a sticker like that? Um... that could prove difficult. I got that sticker because I helped figure out some new printing equipment for translucent stickers. That sticker was the first successful printout, and I got it for free. Afterwards, they erased the pattern, for some reason, and they'd charge a hefty sum for the implementation of a new design. :( So I fear the sticker's one of a kind. And I'm not hitting on any woman, I'm just working on the whole Masterminding bit. ;)

Hello, all. Sorry it took me so long to get on here and post. I was having trouble with AOL and this website, and I just found out last night that my Internet Explorer works with it well.

Anyway, I'm Gavin's fiancee. As Gavin may or may not have told you yet, we met over the internet by the help of High Wing. I meet him face to face on the last week of March of this year and just last month, on the last week of July he came over here to Washington to see me and his future in-laws. He is the best and he will always be mine forever. *kisses Gavin on the cheek*

Christine Morgan>> Is that you on here? I hope so. Well, if it is, glad you had a chance to meet me, maybe we can get togther another time at the mall again or do something else. Talk with you later.

Oh, btw, just wondering is there anyone here that draws comic book style anime/manga? Cause Gavin and I are looking for artists to draw our manga, "Fae In Tokyo". I already have three of the comics written and now I need to find an artist. Yes I am artist myself, but I'm not quit that good to draw in ink and in really good manga style. If there is someone like that here, please email me your name and let me see some of your art work. Thanks.

Talk to ya'll later another time. Far Thee Well.

Not much to say today. I'm having trouble keeping up with what's going on since I can only take a peek at work now and then.

Since there hasn't been a response to my last Gargoyles Fight Club I'll extend the bout another week. If there still hasn't been a response, I'll do my impressions, and then I'll put up the next bout.

lain> sorry to hear about your test. Hope your money problems work out. Assuming you have personal internet access, rather than using an academic connection, you and Gunjack should look into Internet Long Distance. If you know how to do it, or you're willing to pay $20.00 or so for a special card, you can make long distance phone calls for free. The phone company really hates it, but as far as I know there's no way to stop it yet.

I'll check some of my techie catalogs to see if I can find the hardware again. I'd use it myself, but I get free long distance on my cell phone anyway.

A couple of the more tech-savvy members of the CR will probably give you all the information you need before I can find it anyway. A warm Gunjack earpiece is probably not as comforting as a warm Gunjack lap, but it's better than nothing.

Closing down the Disney and WB stores. can't say I'm surprised or sad. There's just only so much Disney paraphenalia that the normal human body can take. I have a higher tolerance coming from years of exposure.

*slinks in, tiredly and seeking kleenex*

hi guys. sorry for lack of posting, i was busy studying for my final in art history that i thought i was going to do really really stinkin kick-ass on but just likely finished failing. why fail? well.. i knew everything but i was sick on the last day of class (friday last week) and didnt go and cos i have soooo many nice helpful friends, noone told me the exam started at 9am instead of the time class always starts (10am) so i showed up 45 minutes late when i was all pumped for being 15 minutes early. so i missed the first two slides she showed, the identification of which and regurgitation of information about was worth 20 marks. bye bye 20 marks. sad thing is, i missed "judith beheading holofernes" by artemesia genteleschi and "oath of the horaitii" by jacques-louis david. and i know all the stuff about them. i am soooo angry with myself but there isnt anything i can do. the teacher refused to show the slides id missed, even for three seconds, and even though i wasnt the ONLY one who was "late" (cos one of her little teachers pets came in about 10 minutes AFTER me). i guess theres no sense in beating my head on the floor cos it isnt gonna get me the extra marks but i think a nice big long cry at home... followed by some much needed sleep will be very healthy. and relieving. and then i will go rent a stupid movie for free (coupon) and laugh for awhile.. and maybe write something philosophical about GOD and shoes and throw paing at some canvas.. (after i smush the idiot whose cellphone just went off in the middle of the library playing.. bachs prelude and fugue in d minor (the fugue part).. WHY DO I KNOW THAT!?!?! argh.. i hate this school.. *whine whine complain*
yeah well.. could be worse and i know it. i think right now, a niiiiice waaaaarm gunjack in whose lap i could curl up and sleep would go a long way to making me feel better. unfortunately, his neck is in the process of turning red as he is at college in arkansas. so i wont have any gunjack lap until christmas.. (if then)
the other part i want to complain about is how my dad hasnt called me. if hed been on business to france, do you think heda called his girlfriend????? yeeeeeeees.. but will he call me?? noooooo.. im so lonely i wish he would phone me up and yell at me for something, just so i could have someone to talk to.. : P
sorry about the whining, i know i will feel better after i get it out of my system, i think i was over-stressed about my exam and its all oooozing out of me. and i want pizza. just so you know, in case you were wondering. pizza with lots of cheese and pineapple. mmmm..
i paid a phonebill that was 65.92$ yesterday. heh.. THERES a cheque thats gonna bounce.. bouncy bounce.. maybe it will be thursday and i will be paid before they try to cash the cheque.. and then i wont have money for food but hey, one cannot live by bread alone.. : P
the stinky part about that is that i have a cheque for 1,800$ sitting on my table thats addressed to me and i cant cash it cos my dad is gonna take it and "use it towards my tuition." i think im gonna tell him i should use it towards those 500$ of textbooks im gonna have to buy in two weeks and the art supplies im gonna have to buy. it was HIS idea to keep me in art, after all. if i phrase it right, he should let me. i have a line of credit (that was his idea) thats absolutely USELESS so i want to open a savings account i can actually push the button for on the debit machine at the university bookstore and art stores that dont take cheques with that 1800$. (now THAT was a run-on sentance.. yowch..)

okay, i am going to stop complaining now and go home.

on a lighter note, i was really depressed on saturday and my boss bought me a teddy bear. my boss loves me : ) AND someone gave me a cool WRITTEN compliment cos i was so helpful even though i was depressed (she probably didnt even notice i was.. which is good..) YAY ME!

and the tornadoes we were warned about yesterday never panned out. neither did the gigantic thunderstorms. stupid weather people, what do THEY know, anyways? dangit! and i WANTED that tornado, too.... ; )

mmmmm okay i promise im going now. honest ; )

Fleur:> <<And most of us _still_ aren't entirely sure _what_ they were protesting against in the first place! >> Well, I don't know...as far as I've understood, their concern (at least the concern of those who had arrived in Genova only to pacifically express their opinion) is that the current and massive globalization of economy could spread even more wider the rift between the industrialized countries and the Third World. The irony of it, then, is that I am not unsimphatetic with these concerns...but for sure I don't like the way they express them.

Happy birthday, Todd! And anybody else who has had a birthday recently. Or at all.

Does anybody know the specifics of the 'Timedancer' premier? It's said 'fall' on the current episode schedule for a while now, and that could be anytime in the next few months. So I realise these may not be decided yet, or may be common knowledge that I missed, but I was just wondering:
- if the debut date or month is known yet?
- what day of the week each episode will be released on?

Looking forward to the new season,

Hi folks!

The good news is that after my whopping alcohol intake last night (ONE smirnoff ice), I was not hung over at all. Joy!

Today was a good day. I woke up at around 1030 to an empty house. My parents had gone on a 40 mile bike ride along the beach. I went to the watch store to get a battery replaced (its so irritating to take a nice watch out to wear for a party only to discover its dead), ate lunch, and then went shopping for some bedding supplies for my apartment.

I needed an electric blanket and new pillows. The pillows because my other ones were dead and gave me neck problems, and the electric blanket because its F*CKING cold in the winter and there's no heating in the apartment and we're not allowed to use space heaters. This electric blanket features dual control. What is dual control for? For the person on the other side of the bed!

Um...there's no one ON the other side of the bed. I share the whole big bed with...myself.

Or, as my mom says, "at least this way you'll be prepared just in case you find someone to share it with". Cuz I know if *I* were gonna sleep with someone, having a bed that was just slightly to hot/cold would really make me leave :-P

After working a few hours at MacTank (the last half of my last shift of the summer), and chatting with some CR ladies, I headed off to dinner to celebrate my grandmother's 70th birthday. She's still aparently alive and well (no shock, really). My grandpop and I exchanged dirty jokes (thanks for "Cinderella", Niamh!) and I talked with my uncle (yet another who used to work with my dad) about what I'd done this summer. He was so impressed when I told him that I'd finished his entire "wish list" of changes to make in the program (it was a 2 page list of items).

And then, at around midnight, my friends and I decided to go bowling for a couple hours (there are a few all-night bowling clubs in this city). None of us did particularly well, the highest score was my 123. I won 3 games out of 4...not bad considering the last time I bowled was about 3 years ago. It was a lot of funny. Bowling alleys have lots of hot (if trashy) chicks. Then we picked up mass quantities for consumption at the big yellow star.

The three of us used our callsigns/handles, since I was bowling with Mike and Mike (I know about 80 people named Mike, its really kind of weird). So we had Imzadi, Marcellus, and Lanik...must have looked weird to anyone reading our scorecard...

I don't know what all I'm doing tomorrow, but I'll hopefully be around most of the time packing and listening to loud music.

On to replies!

Green Baron: <<Greetings from the land of coca-cola flavored gummis>>: There are much funnier things that you could say there... <<it turns peopel into livestock>>: We are sheep. <>: Was it really that long ago already? <<This message board needs a spell checker>>: A grammar check wouldn't hurt either. <<That's what Starsinger said about me, even after she slept with me>>: LOL, I hope no girls think that about me...though it certainly would explain my attitude sometimes. <>: LOL! That's the second silliest mistake I've ever heard ;-) <>: Good god no! We can't fund her. <<I'd love to see Imazdi run and beat whatever liberal weenie his Congressman is>>: How do you know my congressman is a liberal or a weenie? And why would I beat him? Oh, you mean RUN for office! I thought you meant go up to him and slug him! But I'd never run for Congress...not a powerful enough office. I want it ALL and then some. <>: I love doing that!

The Wizard: <<What am I doing up so early on a Sunday morning?>>: Not sleeping! Which means you're missing out. NOTHING else should be done on a Sunday morning. On the sixth day, god participated in drunken debauchery. On the seventh, he rested...hung over. <<Because someone kept calling. And calling, and calling, and no one else is here to pick up>>: I hate it when that happens. Then they yell at me for not picking up the phone! Excuse me, its not my line. <>: I like to say, with a flawless woken-from-sleep groan, "if this isn't an insanely beautiful woman, I'm hanging up." <<Couldn't go back to sleep because my dad then got up and decided to do some repairs on his Harley>>: Is that louder than his snoring or not? <>: I know the feeling. I can't wait for three more days... <<where everyone else sleeps until the crack of dusk>>: That early? <<The Man>>: Damn right I am! <>: I don't think its long enough. <<seems like after that party you should be strutting into the CR with more than a big smile>>: I wish. I don't have the balls to talk to a girl that beautiful. <>: Good, I'll keep the shape charges in inventory. <<You certainly have lived up to "The Man">>: That's what Dad said. <<And a maze in the hedges outside?>>: Sort of, but its in a fountain. There will be a hedge maze after my remodling ;-) <>: That's fine, there are plenty of other people who want them. <<if you've got any ancient Egyptian, medieval armor, or Lichenstein in there, then I'll gladly attend the auction>>: HAH! The medieval armor will be in MY private collection (at the headquarters). <<If only those models had been drinking more at that party>>: They don't make that much beer in Germany...in all of history. <>: Yeah, that! Art, as you may have guessed, is not my strong suit. I see what I like and my most profound comment is "Pretty!" <<"Irises" is one of my favorites of Van Gogh, but not as much as "Sunflowers," which has a controversy over it's validity>>: I've got a 3'x5' poster of Van Gogh's "Wheatfield with Crows" in my room over my bed, kind of the centerpiece of my cork wall. Its my favorite of his stuff. <<Makes an 8 minute drive (for someone who drives really fast>>: Niamh of the lead foot! <<Life sure has a sense of humor, huh?>>: A sadistic sense... <<he's converted! Traitor>>: I'd like to say he's seen the light, but he knows that I'll never help him with the stuff if he doesn't buy one. Its just a convenience thing at this point. Of course, my household will wirelessly share a cable connection soon, I imagine. <<Where's she interviewing at?>>: Not a clue. <<Looks like someone gave you a heaping serving of eye candy>>: And did my eyes ever devour it! <>: You can't even imagine. Angels on earth...drool. <<I'm also glad that you didn't spontaneously combust>>: There's no way a clothed girl could turn me on THAT much ;-) <<Get some of their numbers>>: Not one. They all smoked, which was a turbo turn-off. <>: But I like my women the other way around 8-) <<Sharp as a tack.> And just as painful, too>>: Better not be, or he'll die instead of you! <<Creative! Compared to my 9% slut>>: Thank you. I have more practice though ;-) <<Packing heat to use on my _brother_, that is>>: LOL! <<female artists will make more than male engineers>>:We shall see. <<Save that for the book!>>: What book!? Where can I get a copy!? <<Oh, well, in either case it should at least be fun>>: Amen. <<Or maybe the orchestra from FF>>: I love the orchestra (synth) from MechWarrior II. <<now that it's moved up in the shipping line, it's within reach>>: The proverbial dangling carrot to my horse. <<the fact that we both had calls that made both of our nights>>: Yeah, that. <<I'll cook the lobsters, you work on making that laptop>>: Making!? Try BRINGING! <<my elf will wander around looking for de plane>>: Sweet. <<The Saint>>: Elizabeth Shue in her underwear...mmmm... <<Were the crew of Coyote Ugly serving your drinks at the party?>>: I wish. <<I'd wait until you'd converted the Getty to your headquarters, so that all the work would be done for me>>: Bad news, babe. The world goes to my best friend after someone assassinates me. <<Yeah, that sucks>>: No, you missed my point. I don't care about the price of gas when my car is 400 miles away because I'm not doing any drive. The point was that I care even LESS about the other thing. <<what is the price of gas out there?>>: I think its 1.41 for 87... but it changes a lot depending on where you shop, even within a 5 minute radius of the house prices vary by as much as 20 cents. <<You want some>>: Always. <<(money)>>: Oh. Yeah, that'd be fine too. <>: I can't sing either. Doesn't stop me though! <<Does your mom make it from scratch>>: I think she tried to, but failed. She won't be doing it again any time soon. <<your mom and mine should get together>>: Imagine the horror! <<Puppy dog eyes>>: I AM IMMUNE! <<Am I forgiven>>: Never. ;-) <<there seems to be a large Dr. Claw following>>: Root for the bad guy!

Gavin: <<you love f!cking humans? how perverted and discusting>>: I know, but even as a superior life form I have my vices. <<it sounds like that party was very fun>>: It was.

Shadowrider: <<for this year, my vacation is over>>: I hate it when that happens. <<all Italy will celebrate tonight!>>: I'd make a comment about rednecks, but it would be lost on you. <<slow weekend in the CR. Just a few replies>>: It was dead on friday. <<Being at the same time an engineer and a soldier>>: I didn't know you were an engineer!

Queen of Pain: <>: Sorry to hear that. I've got another week. <<I'm only taking two>>: You lucky devil! <>: I read it. It wasn't bad...but you need an editor or proofreader...and a spell checker AND a grammar checker. <<Didn't I tell you that I'm psychic?>>: What number am I thinking of? No, its not 69. <<You know she broke up with Carson Daly and now there is rumours that she is dating Mark Mcgraff of Sugar Ray>>: Well, Carson Daly is a total tool. Mark McGrath is pretty cool actually, even if Sugar Ray does suck monster !@#$. <<when you flirted with me you were much more pure. what does this say>>: Says your purity score is pretty high 8-)

Ravyn: <<my brother once played a mean trick on me>>: LOL that is BRILLIANT! Are you sure HE wasn't the "mastermind"? <<Why in the WORLD does that sound so CUTE?>>: Cuz he's your b*tch 8-) <<that doesn't sound good>>: Fortunately you don't get there. <<Heyyyy, now... j/k>>: Oh, just enjoy being a figment. <<Good luck with getting rid of that computer virus>>: Virus? Virus? Us mac users know not this word. <<Wally and Dilbert in a meeting with their boss, from my nice Dilbert daily calendar>>: I have that calendar and it rocks! <<Woo hoo!!! Let's go>>: Will this be more or less interesting than "GB and heather"?

Baldy: <>: That's great! Would you mind sending me one of those stickers. <<the CR lives, I see... when was it revived?>>: Sometime after it went down, yet before we resumed posting. ;-) <<I'd BE the evil bald dude>>: You're already there. <<He-Man would kick my butt all the time>>: Yup, probably. <<I'm sure I could come up with a lot more waterproof schemes than they did in the series>>: One would hope. <<What do you say we find a nice, quiet bistro somewhere, and scheme the night away?>>: Sappy wouldn't be very happy to know that you're hitting on his woman 8-)

Revel: <<Good afternoon or good evening or possibly good morning depending on your current earth dimensional location>>: Not to mention the time we're reading your post. <<Make me President and I'll invade the rest of the Western Hemisphere. Rule I say RULE!!>>: At least no one will accuse me of making false campaign promises! <<Did you think I was giving you money>>: Why would you do a silly thing like that? <<Did you ask for a new car?>>: I promised my bro a car if he got into MIT. Watch what he gets if he gets in...

Fleur: <<My stomach has finally returned to normal>>: This is good. <<there was a massive disturbance in the Digestive Force. It was as though an entire stomach cried out in pain, then ejected its contents for six hours straight>>:LOL! Brilliant analogy. <<bad management, no cookie>>: Have you ever seen any GOOD management? <<got a mental image of Illuminati headquarters being a dental surgery>>: They're not all knowing, just all powerful ;-) <<Do you _have_ business cards>>: Should I? Maybe for G2k2... <<You're a guttermind and a smarta$$... I like that in a person>>: Good to hear. <<this little sun-bunny will _not_ be leaving that>>: Bunny, eh? <<Thank you for narrowing it down>>: No problem. <>: I do too, I just don't like having to do anything to get it. <<SJ gets to be Master, on account of him being here longer>>: It is time for things to come full circle... <<The same roommate with the huge house and great parties>>: He's the only one I've got. He's my best friend for 8 years. <<Refer to previous comment about wanting your friends and family>>: You don't want my family, trust me. They come with too much baggage to make the nice houses and cars worthwhile. <<get it for free from my ISP, so I can't complain>>: I pay $35 a year for my site (I don't pay for the hosting from my friend) and its BLAZING fast and I don't need any ads, so *I* don't complain either...except about other people's slow sites with ads ;-) <<don't hold your breath on the update>>: I don't hold my breath on anything but drowning ;-) <<Procrastination is my friend>>: You and my roommate would get along very nicely, I think. <<the size of the part each person does should be determined by the size of the amount of stuff they're releasing>>: Perhaps, and while the US may have a higher per capita volume of pollution, I still don't think others should be excluded. I certainly wasn't saying the US should be excluded, though. <<These are the memories to treasure>>: I'll never forget it. <<get a pop-up ad, would ya>>: THANK YOU! Someone else needed to say that such a blatant advertisement was totally inappropriate in here. <<do do do do do, 'Inspector Gadget'... ARRGGHHH!>>: LOL! <<Hope they fix it soon - this little fic-addict needs her fix>>:Try the GFW? <<Now _there's_ something to be proud of>>: Scrabble players beware of FS!

DPH: <<Assuming I can get a new job and vacation time, I'm G2K+2 bound>>: Sweet! See you there buddy. <<I'm so close to the middle>>: On which SIDE? I was about 75% of the way to the left (male) side. They said I was definitely male. I think they were right.

Sorow: <>: Too much lacy underwear, not enough ski jackets 8-) <<Does anyone know when the last ep of any of the TGS series was posted>>: I think it was May?! God has it been that long!? <<You sure are good at making me blush>>: That's okay, flattery will get me nowhere (or so I've discovered). But its good that you can feel good about yourself with someone's help and you're not as depressed as your handle suggests.

Gside: <<neanderthals didn't die out, they just intermixed in eastern Europe>>: I thought they were living in the South. <<You're always on top>>: Damn right I am...but she doesn't know that 8-) <<For generating storms>>: Cool! <<That's why one side of mountais tends to be nice and green and the other desert>>: Damnit, I learned something new today! <<that's what swallows are for>>: I realized that just after I posted it. <<What, Perogy>>: Yeah like that. <<Nope, midwesterners>>: Silly Cana...er, Midwesterners. <<it's already got Sev. Jr. and me, allegely parts of him>>: but that's parts of one. This is an entirely seperate entity. <<because you'll forget about it before any forgiveness could happen>>: I think that's what I hope happens to all girls 8-) <<Then why'd they put it at the end of my statics course>>: They're sadists. <<Because it was honors statics>>: That could be it. I dunno. We don't have honors statics. <<You truly are insane>>: Was there ever any doubt?! Only an insane mind could spawn you and SJ! <<it ain't my cup of meat>>: I prefer my meat on plates, personally...but in any case I really can't handle the ECE stuff. <>: LOL I'm going to Disneyland with you next time! <<I'd say go for Bach's Brandenburgs>>: No way! That's my favorite classical piece! And its the same one I recommended to her. <<Since you've already decided to gow with MechE, your brain should be formated so you can handle it>>: Not by sophomore year, I wouldn't think. It takes till Junior year at the earliest for brain reformatting to take place for a specific engineering major.

FS: <>: I know who *I* am, the question is are YOU me? <<HOW THE FRELL DID YOU KNOW THAT?>>: He's a pervert. Its his job to know these things. <<Frigging Notepad glitched on me. Thats what I get for running Seti, virus scan, 6 Word windows on a p150 laptop>>: Geez. You really shouldn't even TRY doing that. <<Dish! Dish>>: Sure...who were we talking about again? ;-) <<And there in lies the biggest problem with Macs. Users are content to NOT fsck with their hardware>>: You see it as a problem, but I see it as an acheivement. It means that Apple is selling a machine that includes everything its user could need. <<So do I. I just hate cables>>: Me too. Fortunately, I have airport and "firewireLESS" is coming out soon... <<Asthetics>>: No. Industrial design is not based entire on form. Its based on the combination of form and function. <<Like Winona Riders ping-pong ball trick in South Park>>: Except FAR more useful...if he were gay or female. <<This is Fire Storm. Listen... I think I accidently sent you the wrong doll!" "NO S#$^!" >>: LOL! <<Spending time with you hanging out is one thing. Spending time in bed is another>>: On the contrary, I rarely say anything offensive in bed.

Okay folks, its 415AM...bedtime. I have to be back at Mike's insane house in about 16 hours for a jacuzzi party consisting of four guys and eight chicks...

Warpmind: <Xeno love doll? Pardon my saying so, but *ugh*. Now, a Ripley doll, however...>
EWWWWW! I mean... with a HUMAN? ;)

Patrick Toman: <Speaking from similar experience, I'd say if you're looking for flames, you
likely won't be disappointed. And it doesn't even have to be real, either... a dream works just
as well>
The funny thing is it took 2 years before I got the first flame about it!

Christine: <we were at the Disney store and they had full-body, heavy plush
Maleficent-in-dragon-guise suits>
PICS! PICS!

Jaden: <Memory loss, I'm worried about that one...now where am I?>
I don't know WHO I am, let alone WHERE!

Gside: <That takes a second thought?>
Na. It just sounded cooler to me at the time that way!
<You mean it can be done without the mellon?>
If the stories be true.
<Are you referencing a seltzer bottle? The kind that takes CO2 cartridges? If so, you are still
an infidel.>
HELL NO! A complete boxed syrup system that takes a huge CO2 tank and had one of those bar
dispenser wands!
<Don't worry, the Red Queen is coming soon>
Is that a reference to Alice?

HOW THE FRELL DID YOU KNOW THAT? Did you see it?
<Yes, is it not freaky? I believe it was announced at E3. At least SMRPG turned out all right>
Did you see anything about it?

Imzadi: <Who taught you to format text!?>
Frigging Notepad glitched on me. Thats what I get for running Seti, virus scan, 6 Word windows
on a p150 laptop! ;p
<I'd say something bad about her, but that would only get my butt kicked>
Dish! Dish!
<Well, here in the mac world, we're not dumb enough to shove in more drives than we can handle>
And there in lies the biggest problem with Macs. Users are content to NOT fsck with their
hardware! That is by far the best part about Pc's. You can hack the fsck out of them and still
pretty much get them to run!
<That's why we have firewire, scsi, and USB, for extra external space>
So do I. I just hate cables!
<Why do you think Apple wins so many industrial design awards every year?>
Asthetics.
<That's how you label a zip drive: you use the little tape puncher thingy with the letters to
spit out a name onto a sticker>
Oh, ok.

Like Winona Riders ping-pong ball trick in South Park?
<That would suck! And not in the good way!>
::As Imzadi is trying to take full advantage of the DLD, she holds his hands down above his
head on the bed and pulls out a knife.::
"Say good-bye, Mr. Wurzel!"
::Before the DLD can kill Josh, his phone rings. TO not arouse suspision, she picks the phone
up and places it at Josh's ear.::
"Hey Josh! This is Fire Storm. Listen... I think I accidently sent you the wrong doll!"
"NO S#$^!"
;)
<Oh come on! I'm not THAT intolerable! People at Gathering hung with me for nearly 4 days, you
don't think someone could put up with me for a few hours?>
Spending time with you hanging out is one thing. Spending time in bed is another!
<Yeah but then you get to go to sleep!>
In theory, anyway.
<Where? My roomie and I could really use one!>
Local resturant surplus/salvage store. And eBay. YOu can get one there for under $500
<Please link to said swearing!>
just figure out where Perverts Row is!

Spacebabie: <Chugging down a beverage from starbucks on an empty stomahce, I used to be able to
do that>
Well, for me it is NOT the smartest thing to do. That much raw caffine has some REALLY wierd
effects on me.
Speeds me up
Slows me down
Everything is reversed

Apparently, neanderthals didn't die out, they just intermixed in eastern Europe. Big skulls, large noses. My father and I are proof enough.

Imzadi> <<Do you have some memory of me being on top that I don't know about?>>: You're always on top. Or did you not mean about posting? Well, that too.
<<For getting struck by lightning?>>: For generating storms. While going over mountains, air tends to drop its moisture due to the pressure change. That's why one side of mountais tends to be nice and green and the other desert (California vs. Nevada).
<<was he carrying coconuts?>>: Nah, that's what swallows are for.
<<Gnocchi is a like ravioli, but with potato in it>>: What, Perogy?
<<You were in Toronto!?>>: Briefly. For dinner, then we went on to sleep in London.
<<We could have hung ou>>: I had no access to the internet when there was any idea when we would be approaching the city.
<<But don't easterners call it pop?>>: Nope, midwesterners.

Fire Storm> <<With a melon?>>: You mean it can be done without the mellon?
<<Can the world handle *2* Josh's?>>: Well, it's already got Sev. Jr. and me, allegely parts of him.
<<YOu just don't like me>>: You've found me out. Curses, now how to worm my way back into his confidence...
<<Did I mention I am getting a soda dispenser? Just add syrup!>>: Are you referencing a seltzer bottle? The kind that takes CO2 cartridges? If so, you are still an infidel.

Warpmind> <<The autopsy proved that he drowned>>: Ah, I didn't remember they had recovered his body. So does this mean I'm unbreakable?
<<AFTER he downed enough poison to floor Godzilla and took about four dozen bullets>>: Gotta admire a guy who won't give up.
<>: Here's to us.

Happy Birthday Greg. And Todd, now.

Fire Storm> <<At least the world is not backward>>: Don't worry, the Red Queen is coming soon.

Gavin> <<Nooch>>: Noonch. They have a neon sign at the stash. Or at least they did back at 69 Monmouth St.

Niamhgold> <<I'll never forgive myself>>: Right, because you'll forget about it before any forgiveness could happen. At least that's what I'd do.

Fire Storm> <>: I fell honored. Was it in the Pervert's Row?

Imzadi> <<That's not statics. That's material mechanics>>: Then why'd they put it at the end of my statics course? Because it was honors statics? But we had ECEs, ChemEs, and what not. We don't need to know that.
<<I'm taking material mechanics this semester and really looking forward to it>>: You truly are insane. Well, it ain't my cup of meat.
<<Just like you don't need to be dead to visit the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland>>: And I brought the cyanide special.
<<Liar>>: I already said I skipped a bunch, I'm talking about the stuff between my return and now (whichever now it is when I catch up).

Fire Storm> <<Square Soft is making a RPG for DISNEY>>: Yes, is it not freaky? I believe it was announced at E3. At least SMRPG turned out all right.

Niamhgold> <<As it is, it's untitled>>: Nope, called Kingdom Hearts. Check out screens and art at http://www.rpgamer.com/games/other/ps2/kinghearts/kinghearts.html

Niamhgold> <<Perhaps to Rachmaninoff>>: I'd say go for Bach's Brandenburgs.

Ravyn> <<that doesn't sound good>>: Since you've already decided to gow with MechE, your brain should be formated so you can handle it.

Warpmind> <<A case with my data? Um, well... now, that depends>>: I'm not talking about jewel cases. I'm talking one of those carrying cases with many pages of CD shaped slots.
<<Guess who found the theme of the show, on mp3 format?>>: Guess who has the theme of the HHGtG radio show? Granted, it is the Eagles' Journey of the Sorcerer, but I got it off the vinyl edition.

Fleur> Gook luck not having another similar gastrointestinal experience.

In repentance for my lack of mp3s, you can find Holst's entire planets on my eden account, as well as The Band's The Rumor off my link.

Hello to all. I was able to pack all my clothes into only three boxes today and I must say I'm more than surprised!

Just a quick question: Does anyone know when the last ep of any of the TGS series was posted? I've been trying to remember the last time we read a new story. Anyone?

Josh> You sure are good at making me blush!

Imzadi & others - The day it stops raining on any day that I have a parade is the 1st such time in recent memory. I was only trying to reach 2 specific people with that comment about BFTS RP.

I scream (icecream), You scream, we all scream for I scream (icecream).

I'm crazy, You're crazy, we all are crazy for I am crazy.

Not having a job is boring, IMHO.

**Unemployment Related**
I better get unemployment that was promised for that one day I was off on the only 4 day week I participated in. Otherwise, I'm not a happy camper (as if I ever was).

I think management should have slowed things down sooner. I repeat 100% optimism is NOT a good trait in a plant manager. If said person sees things going downhill, slow things down to keep things from hurting really bad all at once.

Here's a worse problem. That was my longest period of continued employment to date, slightly over 1 year.
**End Unemployment Related**

Assuming I can get a new job and vacation time, I'm G2K+2 bound.

I'd rather not comment about the Gender test, but I will. I'm so close to the middle. BTW, all these tests are at www.thespark.com .

That's all for now.

*bounces in*

Yea! My stomach has finally returned to normal!! Three hours after I posted last, there was a massive disturbance in the Digestive Force. It was as though an entire stomach cried out in pain, then ejected its contents for six hours straight. Beware the fruit salad left outside for oh, it must have been at least a day, and still served up to innocent customers *smiles sweetly to hide the murderous thoughts* Seriously, I've never been so wiped out by my food in my life. :( Which means those of you who wished me luck on my test, thank you, and I'll hold that luck until Wednesday. :)
Okay, now that I've told you all far more than you needed to know about my digestive system, I'll move on to actual posting...

Warpmind> >Stand there nobly? Indeed I did. And I was sorely tempted to say "What do all you people WANT?", even though it would probably not have much credibility at this stage. ;)< LOL! I wouldn't have been able to resist that temptation (not that I've ever been able to resist _any_ temptation :)) And about the Chronicles of Narnia miniseries - heard of them, and it's highly likely I've still got one or two of them on tape (Not Lion, Witch and Wardrobe, unfortuantely!)

DPH> >If it had been next week, I would have had my full 5 days of vacation AND a raise.< OWCH. And dopeslap your management, buddy. If the writing was on the wall, and they kept covering it up - bad management, no cookie!

Christine> Double Owch. You know, the people with the _real_ power in the world would definately be the dentists, dental hygenists, etc. *Just got a mental image of Illuminati headquarters being a dental surgery. :)*

Josh> >I garotted my palms trying!<*lol* >Shouldn't it be on MY business cards?< Do you _have_ business cards? >Is that good or bad?< It's entertaining, which is good. Of course, I only skimmed your earlier ones - you might have been bad then, and I missed it. ;) >Is THAT good or bad?< Whoa, that _was_ ambigious of me, wasn't it? Okay, reprased: You're a guttermind and a smarta$$... I like that in a person :) >Well, I do currently have designs on visiting her again in the winter...probably with a friend. You're a little far away, though.< *g* And 'sides, it'll be summer where I am, and this little sun-bunny will _not_ be leaving that! >No clue. Australia somewheres.< Thank you for narrowing it down ;P >Yeah, it sounds like a good plan to me! Of course, I'm working this summer and refusing to work the rest of the year 8-)< I'd like to do that next year - but I don't like my chances. 'sides, I like having a weekly addition to my bank account ;) >Well, he's older...but I don't know if that's better. Which do you think is which? < Hmmm. SJ gets to be Master, on account of him being here longer. >Go ahead. You know the name.< Thanks! >Cutting the wallpaper will bring you down to nine. I think you can still do better. I can't wait to see the update. Will the url be the same? I'm a novice too. I roommate wrote the site, I just do the maintenance on the HTML.< The same roommate with the huge house and great parties? Refer to previous comment about wanting your friends and family :) Yeah, same boring URL (get it for free from my ISP, so I can't complain), but don't hold your breath on the update. Procrastination is my friend.. >No. His declaration was fair.

Good afternoon or good evening or possibly good morning depending on your current earth dimensional location.
whatever.
My family decided today thattoday we were going to drive down to Kemah Teaxs. Why? Because they had never been there before. It was about the same as going to Galveston, especially since it is along the bay. It had a nice boardwalk and we had really good pizza at this pizza place, but then it did a good old fashion gale force rain storm.
Now this might sound like bad planning but in my family it is almost a tradition of travel and bad weather. A few years ago we went to San Antonio in October for a weekend and a freak ice storm came through while we were at Sea World.
Can you say Grizwald's

Josh- Josh as a politician, I can see it now, "Make me President and I'll invade the rest of the Western Hemisphere. Rule I say RULE!!"

Warp- I need to send money to Canada and I wanted to make sure I didn't have to convert it first that's why I asked. Did you think I was giving you money? How about artwork I have plenty of that.

GregX- Your birthday? Did you ask for a new car? I did that when I was sixteen and my aunt bought me a 911 turbo, matchbox of course. So you're now 20 and in another month I'll be 21, not too shabby.

I'm 53% bastard wich is about average from what I hear
I'm 22% stressed which classifies me as lazy or dead and I'm a frilling Boy Scout on the match test which was the most disappointing. Oh well, it happens.

Hiya, everyone. I just put a sticker in the window of my parents' car... an eye in a pyramid, and the text "All-Seeing Eye Security. Founded 1776." I wonder how many get the joke... }:)

Hmmm... the CR lives, I see... when was it revived?

Gside: A case with my data? Um, well... now, that depends. Are you talking about individual one-disc cases for each CD, a CD rack-thingy, or cramming all the discs into one case that was only intended to hold one single CD? If the first, definitely. If the second, well, why not? If the third... I'd rather have the first or the second... ;)

Josh: Absolutely positive. No, wait... heh... hang on... I'd BE the evil bald dude! Which would mean that... urk... He-Man would kick my butt all the time... or Man-At-Arms... then again, I'm sure I could come up with a lot more waterproof schemes than they did in the series, anyway... };)

SquareSoft and Disney joining forces... scary... *Shuts eyes and whinces at the mental image of the QuackPack trying to clobber Sephiroth.* Not a good idea... SO not a good idea... *Shudder* Now, THERE would be a good use for that big orbital cannon from the FF movie... }:)

Ravyn: What do you say we find a nice, quiet bistro somewhere, and scheme the night away? };)

And with that, my post seems to be concluded... but wait... anyone here ever heard of a BBC-made TV series based on the Chronicles of Narnia? Guess who found the theme of the show, on mp3 format? NYAH NYAH! :D (I'll probably upload it to my little appropriated piece of dad's webspace, if there's enough interest in it...)

Peace and prosperity, everyone.

Wow, there seems to be a large Dr. Claw following :) I was always miffed that they never showed his face. But, Robby, I'm gonna have to check out this doll you're talking about. Me, I always thought he was just a computerized entity :)

Ooooh, does it ever anger me! ;) Although I'm with Robby...I always thought he'd have some sort of demon face or mask that looked like his logo. :) And my brother once played a mean trick on me...we were watching an episode of Inspector Gadget as kids, and I left the room for something real quick. When I came back, he was going nuts and said that I missed them showing Dr. Claw's face!!! I got so upset, and I wanted to see it, and all that...but later I found out he had made it all up. :)

Tim> Good luck with getting rid of that computer virus! I know I got that SirCam thing that was going around a few weeks ago. This lady I work with kept getting it, and it kept sending itself to me from her...but finally it quit after a while. :)

Not too much to say but I start classes tommorow. I'm only taking two since two of the Creative Writing proffesors are on sabatical and the choices of classes are slim. I'll be taking Poetry and Shakespear Studies.

And I also did it, I submited a fic to the fanfic library.

Josh>>>Tara Reid? You know she broke up with Carson Daly and now there is rumours that she is dating Mark Mcgraff of Sugar Ray.

Hola everyone! Just returned from the Alps...and, for this year, my vacation is over. Oh, well...short, but funny enough!

On the good news (for me at least): less than an hour ago, the Ferrari team of F.1, by placing Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello at the first and second place of the Hungarian G.P. has won its third world chamionship in a row, while Schumacher has won the driver's championship for the second time in a row...both results obtained with four races yet to be run. It is not inaccurate to say that all Italy will celebrate tonight!

Hmmm...slow weekend in the CR. Just a few replies...let's go!

Spacebabie:> Wow...you welcomed me back even before I returned! I feel so strange within...;). Jokes apart, thank you very much, and yes, I got a good time. Short but good!

GB:> For sure I'll let you know some time before. Being at the same time an engineer and a soldier, I strongly believe in planification...so, probaly I'll warn you a couple months before moving. Will be enough? <base security> No worry, it is the same in my Rgt...

** Niamhgold enters, tiredly **

What am I doing up so early on a Sunday morning? Because someone kept calling. And calling, and calling, and no one else is here to pick up. So I picked up (because my neighbor is supposed to go into labor any day now and my family promised to watch her kid when they're at the hospital) and it's my brother's friend. I hung up the first time, but the second time I just told him how it was, y'know, a BIG mistake to wake me up on Sunday morning ;)

Couldn't go back to sleep because my dad then got up and decided to do some repairs on his Harley. I am _so_ glad I'm heading back to BWI area in a week, where everyone else sleeps until the crack of dusk :)

Replies!!!

Firestorm: Disney and Squaresoft, teaming up?!! Sounds like they didn't make that much off of "The Spirits Within" and have sold their souls to the Big Cheese. Hope it's temporary ** crosses fingers ** I did check out another site that mentioned this upcoming game vaguely. As it is, it's untitled. But that makes two sources, now...

The Man: I think I shall enter this reply into the Guiness Book of World Records. <struts into the CR with a MASSIVE smile across his face> Wow, seems like after that party you should be strutting into the CR with more than a big smile ;) <My friends, work for the summer is OVER. I'm finishing up my last shift of MacTank for the summer as I write this. And I finished the last part of my project at my dad's office in just 4 days! 4 days! I was thinking at least 6> Awesome! Well, I guess there's no need for detonating the dead weight...for now ;) You certainly have lived up to "The Man" after all that. <Yesterday my parents and I spent the evening at the Getty of Art.> Aww, beautiful and gorgeous. <It is the most beautiful piece of property in the entire city, not to mention that it's covered with a massive beautifully architectured compound filled with massive, beautiful rooms> And a maze in the hedges outside? <Who wants any of that crap?> I would, but I don't think that paintings of naked women and me would work out, though. Now, if you've got any ancient Egyptian, medieval armor, or Lichenstein in there, then I'll gladly attend the auction ;) If only those models had been drinking more at that party... <Though I may keep the Van Gogh "lillies" painting> Um, I think you mean "Irises," which is worth 53.9 million. Monet made "Lilies." "Irises" is one of my favorites of Van Gogh, but not as much as "Sunflowers," which has a controversy over it's validity. <The drive down took forever and the drive back up took twice as long because of traffic.> :: Shudders :: Traffic. Horrible. But at least your highways have more than one lane. Once you reach the NH state border (or VT, if you come from that direction), all the major highways are single lanes in both directions. Makes an 8 minute drive (for someone who drives really fast) an hour's drive if you're stuck behind the right person ;) <My last shift at MacTank conveniently had a massive ISP server go down> Life sure has a sense of humor, huh? ;) <My dad has agreed that his next machine will be a g4 tower> Agh, he's converted! Traitor! ;P <My mom has an interview next week, finally. Pray for her> I don't pray, but I'll hope for her to get the job :) Where's she interviewing at? <So this party was filled with all the "who's who" of LA...and all of them beautiful> Looks like someone gave you a heaping serving of eye candy. I don't think I'd notice who the hottest chick I know would be, anyways ;) Or I'd hope not. I don't doubt that the girls (or better yet, babes) at your party rivalled the heavens. I'm also glad that you didn't spontaneously combust ;) Get some of their numbers? <Not to mention that they served me alcohol without carding me> Yee-haw!! "I like my drinks shaken, not stirred." :) <Sharp as a tack.> And just as painful, too. <48% slutty> Creative! Compared to my 9% slut ;) Maybe that means you only have 35% ass, compared to the rest of the world. <he just isn't tough enough, sir, and he avoids any solution that involves violence (so I run from mob bosses...is that so wrong?)> I got that message, too. Of course, I also checked that I'd start "packing heat" if they came to beat me up because my brother owed money. Packing heat to use on my _brother_, that is ;) <I'd like a word or three with the authors of these tests> I am suspecting that the author is just one of those sign-language monkeys. Or my friend Austin. <Women engineers don't make as much as male engineers.> Apparently, though, female artists will make more than male engineers. ;) <They do, but I have no idea where it is. Interesting tidbit of info: last time I played with it, I didn't match a single person that I knew within 50%> Lol. OF course, I remember that it would change depending on if you used your middle name, nicknames, common names, or full names. I think the highest I ranked on it was a 30% or something. <No, because you wouldn't have been driving as fast because you would have been on time> Yes, because I normally pass that spot at 8:30 every morning (when I'm not running late). If I was speeding on a morning when I wasn't late, then I would've passed the spot earlier than 8:30. <Do you have some memory of me being on top that I don't know about?> Save that for the book! ;) <On the other hand, if you don't die, that might explain why you never do it again. You realize of course that I'm talking about a different "die"> Ah, such a dilemma. Oh, well, in either case it should at least be fun ;) <Try spending some time each day meditating to classical music> I shall attempt...the unthinkable. Perhaps to Rachmaninoff. Or maybe the orchestra from FF (NOT the pop music, though ::shudders::). <But that new G4 will make it all worthwhile...I hope> And now that it's moved up in the shipping line, it's within reach :) <What are the odds?> The odds of having a blurry morning, a call making my night, or the fact that we both had calls that made both of our nights? ;) <On our own island, right?> Yep. I'll cook the lobsters, you work on making that laptop. And my elf will wander around looking for de plane. <Besides, you're just saying that because he was in true genius> No, because he was in "The Ghost and the Darkness," and "The Saint." IMPO, he's better than Brad ;) <But Cruise was a FIGHTER PILOT!> That is a valid point... <And they do a fine job of it..."fine" being the operative word.> Were the crew of Coyote Ugly serving your drinks at the party? ;) <Sex without death is like...something that sucks> AKA Yahoo. <<<what happened to the heads?>>: I have no idea...> Lol! Sounds like Titus got ahold of 'em. <Logically, if I were a living ulcer, Tums would KILL ME> Yes? But I'd wait until you'd converted the Getty to your headquarters, so that all the work would be done for me...bwhahahahah!!! ;) <Like the price of gas when my car is 400 miles away> Yeah, that sucks ;) BTW, what is the price of gas out there? Ours is (only?) $1.28. <<<you can live off me! I've got a bazillion dollars, anyways>>: Show off.> You want some (money)? <As dumb as he looks?> And just as smelly, too ;) I think there's a song called that...my dad was "trying" to sing something similar, but I couldn't tell if it was a song or some sort of dog-communication ;) <Gnocchi is a like ravioli, but with potato in it. It's really good, if done right> Mmm...Gnocchi. Does your mom make it from scratch? If she does, your mom and mine should get together :) <Niamh, I'll never forgive you> ::Puppy dog eyes :: Am I forgiven? ;)

Stephen: Thanks so much! Sorry to bug ya! Keep up the hard work :)

Now for something completely different, I'll post as Colin Marter.

Greetings from the land of coca-cola flavored gummis

Religious discussions/Hell> Man, I missed the fun. Well, most people know my beliefs on Heaven and Hell as well as purguatory and I beleive almost all of us will be in Purgatory. Well, let's hope so anyway.

Stem-cell research> Well, Bush took an easy route on it, proving to be rather Clintonesque in a conservative way. To me, it turns peopel into livestock and not as harmless okay things like cheap labor, but harvesting the bodies. I remember what my new country did only 65 years ago.

Xanatos> I stand corrected. This message board needs a spell checker.

Imzadi> <<>>: That word is NOT CR appropriate! Yes, I do know what it means!>> Good for you, but he was one. Just ask SJ and all others around. I was actually surprised to see the XenoGears game in a store, for it made me laugh as my memory was charged up.

<<He's a cat in a person suit!>> That's what Starsinger said about me, even after she slept with me :)

<<I'm not sure if that was mean or not. In my case, it'd be a bald-faced lie.>> It wasn't mean, more an opinion. And it wasn't mena as a comment to you. Besides, you haven't been critical of my new relationship and what was done. SJ seemed a little upset though he was good natured over it.

Christine> I can't wait to hear about this one. I wonder if some young country maiden will tame Lord Verdant as Heather tamed me.

Ravyn> Coyote withdrawal? I have Heather withdrawal. I am also a mastermind on that test, but I tested again and got businessman with very similar ratings to Toman. Both fit me.

Spark Tests> I am 84% male and 29% gay, which is probably from what little English blood I have :) Well, I got that French too. I need to retake my purity test, though.

Shadowrider> Definitely. Let me know when you're arriving. I'll need to get yoru name apporved and all. Hanau is very security conscious, if not outright paranoid. I just wish all the Kassernes were combined into one big post, but these are old German military posst from WWI & II.

Dr. Claw> I always thought he was the head of KAOS. Oops, wrong Don Adams show :)

Crzy> Well, I know your political views and I'd definitely fund you. Maybe Gallegly will endorse when he does retire :)

I'd love to see Imazdi run and beat whatever liberal weenie his Congressman is.

SOROW> Now I have your new address.

New purity test results> I am now 69% pure. I used to be 78% pure. **looks fondly at Heather as she starts blushing**

I'm off again.

::struts into the CR with a MASSIVE smile across his face::

::does stupid whiteboy jig::

::looks around sheepishly::

I'M DONE!!!!

My friends, work for the summer is OVER. I'm finishing up my last shift of MacTank for the summer as I write this (it remains to be seen whether or not I'll continue working next semester). And I finished the last part of my project at my dad's office in just 4 days! 4 days! I was thinking at least 6.

So I'm taking monday and tuesday off (probably spending the time sleeping late and packing all my stuff).

Yesterday my parents and I spent the evening at the Getty of Art. I hereby declare that this will be my World Domination Headquarters. It is the most beautiful piece of property in the entire city, not to mention that it's covered with a massive beautifully architectured compound filled with massive, beautiful rooms.

The art though...that's gotta go. Who wants any of that crap? I can see naked women in much more realistic quality elsewhere. Though I may keep the Van Gogh "lillies" painting...its worth 53 million dollars (US)...or enough to buy Canada.

Today, I drove all the way South to Laguna to see my grandparents. That was fun...NOT. The drive down took forever and the drive back up took twice as long because of traffic.

My last shift at MacTank conveniently had a massive ISP server go down. Hopefully I'll make some money.

My bro's iMac is almost working at full capacity. I'm convinced that he will be able to use the computer without ever stealing a single piece of software. Doesn't mean he will, but when I leave it next week, everything on it will be paid for or bundled. Then he'll come home and load it with mp3's, at which point its legal status will be thrown out the window. Still having some trouble getting the AOL OS X beta to install, though, and his printer isn't being recognized in X yet (works fine in 9, though).

My dad has agreed that his next machine will be a g4 tower, as he wants to have something that I can troubleshoot and he wants to be able to wirelessly (and EASILY) share a high speed connection. Yes, you can do it on the PC, but I hear its a mega-biyatch. There IS no easier connection standard then Apple's Airport technology. I don't even think PC AOL is easier.

So that's cool...even if it is a long way away.

My mom has an interview next week, finally. Pray for her, but don't give me any messages to pass along because I'm sure she doesn't want people knowing.

Tonight I went to a party at Mike's (my roommate) dad's house. Mike's dad is the owner/CEO/president/big cheese of Cherokee, Inc. (as in the clothing at Target/Walmart) and owns a number of other labels AND is responsible for many other major marketing successes. His house is a mansion on the Valley side of Mulholland Blvd. The place has the most amazing view of the Valley floor, not to mention a HUGE deck with pool, etc. The party was for Mike's older sister who just turned 25. The sister is a professional social climber. Basically, she's a PR person who knows EVERYONE in the freakin city. So this party was filled with all the "who's who" of LA...and all of them beautiful.

I don't care what girls you know, I don't care who the hottest chick is that you know, but she would be GARBAGE at this party. SJ, your cold shower award just became totally meaningless. These are without a doubt the most beautiful girls I have EVER seen (and probably WILL ever see). Included in the group was Tara Reed (American Pie) and Amy Smart (some other movie) and just a bunch of models and PR people (PR people are basically professional shmoozers, so they have to look good so they can get business contacts).

Not to mention that they served me alcohol without carding me. You better watch it, SJ. I'm getting ready for our little G2k2 drinking games ;-) And I think that answers your question: everyone in my family or connected to my family is obscenely rich 8-)

Got back at about 2PM, when I just decided I was way too tired to do any more.

No other news. Kinda bummed the CR wasn't working yesterday, but I recovered...quickly.

On to replies!

Firestorm: Who taught you to format text!? <<Anwsering the questions honestly, I got a 52%, only 2% more good than CrzyDemona>>: I'd say something bad about her, but that would only get my butt kicked. <<She just wants some feedback>>: No, that wasn't a request for feedback. It was a blatant advertisement. <>: Doesn't it always? <<I SERIOUSLY hate cases like that! every single one I have seen like that is a ROYAL b@#& to get back together, especially if you make a non-standard improvement... like putting in a 3rd HD in a machine that can barely handle 1>>: Well, here in the mac world, we're not dumb enough to shove in more drives than we can handle. That's why we have firewire, scsi, and USB, for extra external space. And I don't know about YOUR cases, but they obviously weren't macs, so I can't say anything for their ease of use. But the g4 tower is designed really well. Why do you think Apple wins so many industrial design awards every year? <>: Ugh. <<School>>: Indeed. <<
INPUT FAILURE! Qua>>: That's how you label a zip drive: you use the little tape puncher thingy with the letters to spit out a name onto a sticker ;-) <<How about a nice xenomorph love doll? That extending mouth can do alot more than just bite!>>: I have a friend who can throat a banana... <<Ship Imzadi the Demona LOVE Doll, not the Demona Assasian/Infultration droid>>: That would suck! And not in the good way! <<A woman put up with you for long enough to have sex with her?>>: Oh come on! I'm not THAT intolerable! People at Gathering hung with me for nearly 4 days, you don't think someone could put up with me for a few hours? <<Sherlock is a MAC program>>: Yeah, its the built-in search engine. <<YOu suck. I get off work at 8am>>: Yeah but then you get to go to sleep! <<MUST... hold.. back... EXTREMELY sick joke>>: No, that WAS the extremely sick joke. <<the do occasionally have some good stuff.>>: Maxim's articles are better. <<This body is not suited for me. I did not choose it. I would NOT have chosen it if I had a choice. So i am making myself a new one>>: Amen! <<*WE* are the standards for love and relationships in this CR?!>>: We're all screwed, aren't we? <<Can the world handle *2* Josh's?>>: No. Which is why I'm gonna have to kill him. Don't worry, he's not THAT much like me. <<By definition, management is incompotent>>: Thank you dilbert. <<Did I mention I am getting a soda dispenser?>>: Where? My roomie and I could really use one!

Baldy: <<I'd just have to fight this evil-wannabe dude who's balder than me>>: This is possible?

Patrick Toman: <<if his schemes were always so simple they could be foiled by a ten year old>>: ::puts on flame retardant suit:: And a girl at that! <<they still look like teenagers... which is not bad for a group that's been traveling around in a psychodelic VW Microbus since the mid 1970s>>: Don't dis the microbus!

Kathy: <<Does anybody know what happened to fanfiction.net?>>: The site has started down the road to total and complete suckage. <<link>>: LOL! I passed on that story to a couple drama major friends of mine.

DPH: <<the BFTS RP is going to shut down>>: I regret to inform you that I don't think anyone in here really cares. Sorry, I know it was your baby. But you reach a point where the interest just doesn't exist.

Aaron: <<Lynati wanted me to warn y'all that she might not have any internet access until monday>>: So, will she be quieter then? ;-)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GREG! Now why aren't you online!

Hey everyone, be sure to hit Greg 20 times the next time you see him...although by that point he'll be nearly 21.

The Wizard: <<The site is up>>: Sharp as a tack. <>: Or not.

Tim: <<Worm virus>>: This must be a PC thing...

Jaden: <>: Believe me, I know the feeling (I've had a few, and I'm only 19!). <<Memory loss, I'm worried about that one...now where am I?>>: You don't need to know. This isn't the CR you're looking for ;-)

Gavin: <<JaSBSB>>: I can't wait to see it! <>: Now take out "with" and it describes me ;-)

Sorow: <<I've been really busy lately packing all my stuff to move to Austin on Wednesday>>: Maybe I should start, since I leave the same day...nah! <<Now you all know my name if you didn't already, oh noooooooo>>: Now I have a name to associate with the hot face ;-)

Gside: <<Oh, yes I am>>: Ditto! <<Though you'd think it'd taste more like chicken>>: It didn't!? That must make it the first food in history! <<not until you start bending things. Never really got the hang of that>>: That's not statics. That's material mechanics. In statics you look at what happens BEFORE it starts to bend or twist, when you're applying forces or torque. I'm taking material mechanics this semester and really looking forward to it...don't scare the girl, she's a MechE. <>: No, you were just visiting their world. Just like you don't need to be dead to visit the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. <<there have been reported incidents of birds killing jet engines, but those weren't defrosted>>: Heh "thaw chickens first!" <<I'll get caught up eventually>>: Liar. <>: Please link to said swearing!

Okay folks its 220AM and I have to go sleep so I can dream about the 80 models I saw tonight...that "world domination harem" is looking larger...

We secretly switched our professor's water with ether in a thermal conductivity experiment. Let's see if he notices.

Gside: I just used a version of homonecropyrobestialiacophobia in a sentance in another CR!
(Homonecropyrobestialiacophobic is the exact word I used)

And no, I cannot repeat the sentance in here. WAY too much swearing! ;)

Fire Storm> <<ANIMAL KILLER>>: Oh, yes I am. And there were even discussions of how we could have eaten it had we left it on the engine and not found a place for dinner.
<<On second thought... COOL!>>: That takes a second thought?

Imzadi> <<SWEET>>: Yes, I thought so. Though you'd think it'd taste more like chicken.

Ravyn> <<It doesn't sound too bad>>: Nah, at least not until you start bending things. Never really got the hang of that.

Ainganti> <<we're getting along VERY well>>: Mmmm...

Niamhgold> <<Welcome back to the world of the insane>>: I was sane? Oh, such a scary thought.
<<And after that accident, I hope your car is okay>>: Well, there have been reported incidents of birds killing jet engines, but those weren't defrosted.

Warpmind> <<At what altitude?>>: Well, there weren't many good mountains in that part of Pennsylvania, so only about 6 feet above surface.
Oh, and want a case with your data? I poicked up 50 CDs with a case for $25, but the case is a bit cheap for my tastes. I haven't started burning yet, though.

Eh, I stared commenting late, and I need sleep now. I'll get caught up eventually.

**********WARNING, UPCOMING SPOILERS WITH STRONG LANGUAGE************
Just saw Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back and it kicks serious A$$. I'd highly recommend seeing it when it comes out next friday. Its very f!cking funny. all the guest appearences is hilarious, including George Carlin, Wes Craven, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, James Van Beek (Dawson), the guy who f!cked a pie in 'American Pie', etc. the Lightsaber scene was very f!cking funny. and so was the Scooby Doo scene. Like I said if you liked the New Jersey Movies, you'll love J&SBSB.
************************END SPOILERS******************

here's a funny thing about when I left the theater. I was wearing my boots, jeans, a white t-shirt, shades and my black trenchcoat (if you own a trenchcoat, you have to wear it to see this movie). but I passed by this group of girls, they said hi to me and I waved back. then one of them asked me "what? can you not speak?" and me, being the trickster I am, I motioned that she was correct, then she yelled out "OH MY GOD!" it was so funny. I think they went to see J&SBSB too. but gods, I love f!cking with the humans, to keep them on their toes and its just too plain f!cking funny.

well, laters and I'll end it with this......Snooch to the Motherf!cking Nooch!
