Got a lot of print work done today, figured I'd put off the paint stuff till tomorrow plus I have to start reading for my mid term in government. Her class set up has an advantage for those who do not like taking test, becuase there are only two, mid-term and final. However if you are not good at test then this is a bad thing. That is why I'm reading now when the test is on Friday, then it's a well earned break.

Leo- Um, did you send it to the right address, I never got anything from you today.

Fire Storm- Yeah a similar bount occured between my roomie's keyboard and a Mountain Dew. His girl friend was playing The Sims and she tipped it over into his board. She bought him a newer and better one, but that totally sucks dude. :P

Dezi- While my first choice when I'm done with school would not be to jump in the shark tank that they call the movie industry I ahve thought about it before. Personally I'd rather stick to comic books, illustration and character design and story board. I just do writing on the side but it is not my best pass time though I am getting better at it. I had this strange Economics teacher in high school who use to to continue to write on the wall to finish a sentence instead of moving back to the black board and writing under it. Mr. Salmons was weeeeeeeird.

Bud-Clare- I personally was not that impressed with the story in Resident Evil, but the special effects make it worth seeing at least once.

Josh- I don't know what is more funny. Your whining or the fact that it bothers you enough to whine about it. If I did not know you better I'd swear you were a little jealous.

Green Baron- <<And you're probably more Joker than Cowboy ;)>> I prefer the title Southern Sarcastic. But no, I don't make much of a cowboy at least not what most of what them northerners picture one to be.

Green Baron<<That bad?Where do you plan to go next?>> Anywhere out of here. <<Not a problem. Now, I just have to finish my tiem in Kosovo and plan a trip to Lithuania. I wonder how much tickets form Frankfurt to Vilnius are. How are the cabs and transit there? You might find this silly, but the thought of traveling in the former Soviet Union is kinda fascinating and exciting. I guess part of it is that I am seeing all the places my mother couldn't when she visited Europe thirty years ago. I'm even assigned to a place that denied her visa :)>> Well, we are getting slightly over USSR traditions and more or less into normal European level so for you it shouldn't be a big shock and you could function here just fine. I'm afraid I have no idea about tickets and prices but they are quite reasonable. My German friends come quite often in summer and as far as I know nobody bankrupted.<<Hmm..never knew that, though March is the month to honor women, so we honor the Woman's Army Auxilary Corps (WAAC) and have an assembly to hear about heroic women in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and Desert Storm.>> In USSR that was a festival, after restoring Lithuanian indipendence it was denied the status and then regained it then was again denied...Today men walk with sour faces and don't know if they should buy flowers or not ^_^.

Idea for you next time you have an art contest...

Give them a picture of the people involved in TGS and have them draw you as gargoyles. Then judge based on that.

---

As for the comment that people might not want to be mutates because mutates arent generally accepted on the street -- 5 Mutates might not be accepted in a city -- 5,000 mutates and they wouldnt really have that much of a choice.

If the option were available I would be one of the first in line =)

Another day of high living in the Balkans. Not much going on today, but I go to Pristina tommorrow, and see if I can make the workers at the French PX surrender :)

The German PX should have soem nice suits and maybe a fedora. Plus there should be soem Italian and English stores, that will hopefully have a fedora.

Revel> <> And you're probably more Joker than Cowboy ;)

<<Hehe, don't worry bud, you are a light weight compared to us when we get going. ]:)>> True, plus if I was going to usuurp a girl seeing someone else it would be Ravyn ;)...just kidding, Don :)

<<Hey, that ain't for everyone :P>> Attila takes bribes, so you're safe, even though there is high demand for pictures of topless Republican women :)

<<They fit nicely in my hands. ];)>> Christine's fics may give you some more ideas.

<<Had one of these yesterday too and he was out there again today $#@*! hypocrate.>> They really weren't around at Loyola, though Catholic Colleges may have a monopoly on which religious types may be on campus and I've never met a Jesuit street preacher or a Catholic one for that matter.

French bashing> There is a site dedicated to french bashing http://www.pavefrance.com/blog

Well, the Iraqi Air Force has soem French parts on their planes....and this is a surprise how.

Gside> <<That was the joke.>> That is what I thought.

<<Watch the second movie and get back to me. Besides, you're hearing the wrong voice. The voice actors in both languages did Gundam Wing: Seki Toshihiko did Duo (the god of death), while Brad Swaile did Quatre (the pansy blond midget).>> Haven't seen the movies, yet. I'm waiting for season five to come out on DVD.

Dezi> <<How come you're not green?>> I'm posting in purple for Lent.

<<Yeah but how accurate could it be? How do we know if he's not pumping us full of crap. That's what I would do if I was him. I'd have a whole load of crap all planned out to say if I was captured to lead the "enemy" off into the wrong direction. I mean, maybe this guy can really act.>> Maybe so, though we'll just ahve to test the info somehow and we can still interrogate him for fun, and if he isn't cooperative, we can leave his fate in the hands of a bunch of angry New Yorkers. Greg Bishansky can have first dibs at him.

<<So then what comes from Louisiana? :)>> Jazz, a weird microcosm of good Frenchies who like the US (of course they are all Americans), gumbo, king cakes (well not since Lent started), pralines, jazz, and corrupt politicians, though you're from Chicago so you got plenty of that, too.

<<What's that? Gotta link or anything?>> He called our soldiers a bunch fo wimps. I admit I'm not that tough, but I bet your dad could kick his ass. He gets five bucks form me if he does :)

http://www.celiberal.com/showCeliberal.php?id=14
This gives some stuff on his comments.

He also said that Charleton Heston deserves to get Alzheimers...well all of Heston's movies are better than Batman and Robin. Of course, his performance in Three Kings probably makes him an expert on the Gulf, plus his character in the Facts of Life was in Kuwait, so yes that makes him an expert. BTW, I'm being sarcastic.

<<No, we just talk really loud and slow in English and wonder why no one understands what we're saying. :)>> Some do. I aks for something in German and they're impressed. I also don't dress like a typical American. Though I doubt any nationality is known to wear a blazer, golf shirt,a nd slacks as fall casual, either :)

<<Yeah, the print version noted it was circa 1988. Only one like that I have though. He should do an update.>> Ask him for an updated DA photo. And I hope he comes out of this with nothing more than a few extra medals.

So has your brother taken the ASVAB yet? That may determine what job he gets.

<<When my dad was an instructor in Georgia, he would chuck erasers and chalk at people. :)>> I bet SSG Hernandez made them do lots of pushups too :) Was he an AIT instructor or BNOC? If BNOC, it's kinda sad he had to get an NCO's attention by throwing erasers at them. I can understand a private needing that, but not an NCO.

<<Class offered include trips to Mexico or New York or Europe>> Well, if your brother wants to travel, he is using the cheap route. Get paid to see Europe :)

<<I'll get to learn all I can in three weeks of "the dawn of civilization in the fourth millennium B.C. to the collapse of Roman power in Italy and Western Europe." Eh, history is easy.>> I love history. And teh class would end with my man, Attila :)

Dejanira> <<Yes, I live in Vilnius. Still >_<.>> That bad?Where do you plan to go next?

<<As longas it is peach liquer, I'm on your list ^_~. Vilnius Group can wait, hangovers-I doubt.>> Not a problem. Now, I just have to finish my tiem in Kosovo and plan a trip to Lithuania. I wonder how much tickets form Frankfurt to Vilnius are. How are the cabs and transit there? You might find this silly, but the thought of traveling in the former Soviet Union is kinda fascinating and exciting. I guess part of it is that I am seeing all the places my mother couldn't when she visited Europe thirty years ago. I'm even assigned to a place that denied her visa :)

<<OK, I know March the 8th has many different opinions but since it is considered to be National Women Day,>> Hmm..never knew that, though March is the month to honor women, so we honor the Woman's Army Auxilary Corps (WAAC) and have an assembly to hear about heroic women in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and Desert Storm.

For March 8 (I imagine Mooncat and Silvadel will like this), all women should get to use their firing range for free. Perfect way to honor women, by letting them practice their self defence skills.

Bud-Clare> <<And my ego problem could eat your ego problem for breakfast. :P>> With some pastries I imagine :)

<<*looks suspicious* What the hell is that supposed to mean?>> Don't owrry. You're being paranoid. Yes, you are attractive and have good hygeine, but apoloitical. I wasn't referring to you, especially since if Josh tried to make a pass at you, you'd leave him in a world of hurt. I was referring to girls at Berkeley that were essentially hippies with decent grooming.

<> Maybe. How far is Blockbuster from your apartment?

Imzadi> <<Shut up! She's living off MY taxes too, and I hate paying taxes!>> Get your Congressman (if it's baldy Waxman, he'll blow you off, hopefully you're Congressman is Dreier) to declare Oakland or some parts of South Central or West Hollywood a tax free combat zone, then get a job there. Comabt zone tax exclusions work for me :)

<<More like what a speaker. Its a shame that people take opportunities like this to influence young people to be idiots like themselves.>> well, with Woody Harrelson, I'm not surprised. Then again, Richard Gere may talk about the improtance of pet gerbils :)

<<prostitutes.>> And check hard since half the hookers in the Quarter are crossdressers.

<<You can't possibly be that naughty if she's still a virgin.>> Well, is she, though?

<<Hawkgirl.>> Nice. I know at least one blogger who has that nickname.

<<She was talking about me. I've had successes in this area, its Gside who hasn't.>> I was just being silly, and I don't know about Gside. He just needs a girl who likes hairy Ukrainians.

<<Would have been funnier if you'd said "side of ham" 8-)>> I'll have to remember that one :)

<<And you don't look like a steer to me. In fact, you look like you could suck a golf ball through a garden hose.>> Sir, no Sir!!

<< Does it get the waitresses to sleep with you? >> That's up to the waitress, but it will guarantee godo service if you ahve a reputation for tipping well. The cab drivers can get you women. If you ever do go there, I'll give you the info for mine. His English is good, he won't rip you off, and he cna get you to the women.

<> A snide little crack, sort of like the major downside of the atomic bomb being all the anti-nuke protestors, to quote PJ O'Rourke :)

<<LOL congrats for sticking to your commitment.>> Thanks. The tougher one is going through all of Lent without bashing Ted Kennedy.

<<Do you have any money?>> When Los Angeles has four times as many lawyers as all of Japan, inviting a lawsuit may not be wise :)

<<You are a twisted person.>> Nah! She'd have after-tax income.

Dejinara> <<OK, women are also able to get into army but generally that day is for congratulating men. So if I manage to survive till April, I'll be sure to congratulate you. Deal?>> Well, maybe there's a day to honor Jewish people, so he won't need a white man day.

Warpmind> <<Good to be back, oh slave of the ghost cat. ;)>> He is an evil little slave driver, as you remember form your joyrides with him and his namesake.

*Warpmind lurches in, looking like, well, himself, really.*
Hallo, gang. How goes?

Gside: I have not yet decided the armory for my Slaanesh marines - haven't got that Codex yet, anyway. But Lashing Tongues and tentacles are, of course, going to be a standard. Girld in school uniforms might be pushing it a little, though... };) And the series you listed looks right. :)

Josh: Jealous? For what? Can't you manage to get a quick nap in the afternoon? Tsk, it was either that, or doze in front of the computer - a VERY inconvenient situation, I assure you.

Bud-Clare: "Sometimes" it's unclear how Josh can get girls? };)

Green Baron: Good to be back, oh slave of the ghost cat. ;)

And, well, due to Stuff, this concludes my post.
Later.

Josh<<Why isn't there a day for white men!? We need a day too!>> I don't know what about your country, but here we have March 8 for women and I believe in April for soldiers. OK, women are also able to get into army but generally that day is for congratulating men. So if I manage to survive till April, I'll be sure to congratulate you. Deal?

Saw this cute French joke today:

How many gears does a French tank have?

Five. Four in reverse and one forward (in case of attack from behind).

<<National Women Day>>: Why isn't there a day for white men!? We need a day too!

Bud-Clare: <<Even when the start date is only a week or so after the application deadline>>: Who would do such an evil thing?
<<Are you an alien imposter, or something?>>: Something.
<>: Unfortunately, the next person was wrong 8-)
<<Fat hippies? What happened to the slight emaciation?>>: These people think they're hippies, but they're really yuppies. So they won't starve any time soon (sadly).
<<why not?>>: We've been over this. They're weird.
<>: Then I wouldn't see anything!
<<Please, someone give me a job so that I can pay taxes>>: You are a twisted person.
<<is your imagination really that much better, or do you just watch lots of porn so that you don't need any imagination of your own?>>: Either way, I seem to be the one with all the suggestions.
<<Eww>>: MEAT!
<<my ego problem could eat your ego problem for breakfast>>: You're not an artist. Programmers usually have egos the size of buildings. What's your major malfunction, numbnuts?
<<What the hell is that supposed to mean?>>: It means she won't be a programmer 8-)
<<dying to see Resident Evil>>: Fun movie. Creepy. Still gives me nightmares.
<<

Patrick: <<a compliment from Josh>>: I know the goods when I see them.

Todd: <<and take over for themselves>>: That's why you have many. They all fight each other.

Mooncat: <<As for whether I'm any good at sex>>: No one wants to know, I promise.

Greg X: <<How can this possibly not be some huge, fuckin suckfest?>>: LOL

Fire Storm: <<Is this the same kid you are going to run all your plans by?>>: Probably not. The EEOC has problems with neoptism.
<<Coke brought a crippling defeat to a Laptop! This time, a BRAND NEW DIGITAL CAMERA>>: Fool. Keep soda away from anything more complicated than a keyboard/mouse.

Silverbolt: <>: Do you have any money?
<<you will never know how good that feels!>>: Wrong again.

Silvadel: <<if you had the choice of being human, or being say a panther-mutate like derek etc is, which would you choose?>>: You're forgetting the whole "being accepted by humanity" thing. If you were a mutate, you couldn't walk into a store and buy food, or go into a bank and open an account, or get medical assistance at the hospital.

Green Baron: <<in four hours, I can start taking potshots at the French again>>: LOL congrats for sticking to your commitment.
<<If he won't cooperate, we'll use some wax strips on his back>>: LOL!
<<Odd with all the talk of lesbian sex from Gside, since I recall you are male>>: As is Gside. And therein lies the joke.
<<to Ralph Nader becoming a household name>>: I don't consider that a horrible effect.
<<non-elite Americans have the disposable income to travel and expose themselves to other cultures, while in other countries, travel opportunities are restricted to it's elite>>: Interesting. I hadn't considered that before.
<<leave generous tips>>: Does it get the waitresses to sleep with you?
<<such people are not so easy to replace>>: For every engineer that dies, 50 students rise to take his place.
<<Only steers and queers come from Texas>>: And you don't look like a steer to me. In fact, you look like you could suck a golf ball through a garden hose.
<<Attila just grabbed his digital camera and took off>>: I don't think she was offering. Which is good.
<<Better they get their rocks off reading it than doing it>>: True.
<<You're selling your intellectual capital>>: Yes, I know. But companies are ASKING me to apply, so they must want my skills. I expect to be treated accordingly. I think my skills are well worth the price of having a manager take 5 minutes to actually read my resume.
<<Burning bridges is unwuse>>: That's why I only do it when someone really pisses me off.
<<You may want to get a job from them in a few years and you may be remembered by the one hiring for good or bad>>: No, that's just it. I will never want a job with a company like that. In addition to the grueling prep process, the guy I interviewed with was not someone I'd ever want to work for or with. And he was an engineer. That's not a good sign.
<<would you believe>>: NO 8-)
<<You don't>>: If she were educated, she might know. Instead, she's an art student 8-)
<<Then they'd be expensive-shots>>: And as I'm a jew, I'd avoid such things.
<<the ad hominem attacks>>: How are they ad hominem? Do you even know what that means?
<<If I can attract a lady's fancy, even Imzadi and Gside can....maybe>>: She was talking about me. I've had successes in this area, its Gside who hasn't.
<<they get their asses served to them with a side order of crow>>: Would have been funnier if you'd said "side of ham" 8-)
<<maybe a left-leaning reasonably attractive young lady with good hygeine, perhaps>>: Such women do not exist here.
<>: That is a GREAT idea! Too bad the other engineers are too busy to help me implement it.
<<So I guess we should get better acquainted, my Baroness>>: EWWWW
<<What superhero were you?>>: Hawkgirl.
<<when I see a demonstration I try to keep my distance>>: As do I. Mostly because its faster to walk around them.

Revel: <>: You're just pissed because you aren't a steer. 8-)
<<you are a light weight compared to us when we get going>>: Oh shut up. You can't possibly be that naughty if she's still a virgin.
<<that ain't for everyone>>: Then tell her to shut up.
<<They fit nicely in my hands>>: And as I recall, you have large hands.
<<*smooch* I love you honey>>: OH WILL YOU SHUT UP? No one cares about this relationship, no one is impressed, and no one wants to see it. So stop rubbing it in everyone's faces or there will be hell to pay when it finally breaks off.

Gside; <<Maybe I should take up yoga>>: You'll need to have a couple of ribs removed.
<<For class, but all parts that I used are standard Java>>: Java sucks. Even sun won't use it.
<<Prude>>: Sure.
<<Just wait until I have an income>>: Keep dreaming, programmer!
<<They're like me>>: Nuff said!

Dezi: <>: YAWN.
<<he would chuck erasers and chalk at people>>: My 8th grade english teacher threw and eraser at me once. I still laugh about it.
<<How come you're not green?>>: Some religious thing causes him to post in purple.
<<So then what comes from Louisiana?>>: prostitutes.
<<So you're living off of my taxes until then? :) Live it up!>>: Shut up! She's living off MY taxes too, and I hate paying taxes!
<<he encouraged all in attendance to get high as often as possible. What a school!>>: More like what a speaker. Its a shame that people take opportunities like this to influence young people to be idiots like themselves.
<<Do I ever?>>: I suppose not.
<<There are prolly lots of us here>>: Everyone.
<<you must be very patient>>: No, she just thinks I'm cute.
<<Follow the dream!>>: Making a housing search into a living hell isn't much of a dream.

144. I will order my guards to stand in a line when they shoot at the hero so he cannot duck and have them accidentally shoot each other. Also, I will order some to aim above, below, and to the sides so he cannot jump out of the way.

Thomas> <<My demented other personality masquerading as a dead cat beats you any day though>>
And my ego problem could eat your ego problem for breakfast. :P

<<Jewel only posts to anounce fanfics and wish Happy New Years or other nice stuff.>>
That's because Jewel has a life (of which I am jealous). Damn her and her easy access to yummy food. ;)

<<but all we had to do was put on the gym uniform and make an effort, and some morons didn't even do that.>>
I failed gym once, for exactly that reason. My friends didn't bother changing into their gym clothes and participating a lot, so I didn't, either, and we ended up failing. This wasn't actually a bad thing, as the summer school gym class turned out to actually be fun for the most part, unlike the usual gym classes.

<<Well, I don't blame you, but maybe a left-leaning reasonably attractive young lady with good hygeine, perhaps.>>
*looks suspicious* What the hell is that supposed to mean?

<<Have you seen Jason X?>>
No. It looks kinda funny, but I'm getting kind of tired of the regular stalker guy movies. I'm still dying to see Resident Evil, because I'm a total sucker for zombie movies. Unfortunately, I screwed up when I tried to tape it, and got a bunch of static instead. (That vcr is evil.) I hope it'll be on this weekend, since I'm going to visit my puppy for the weekend. (I checked, and it's not going to be on. Maybe in a few more weeks.)

OK, I know March the 8th has many different opinions but since it is considered to be National Women Day, allow me to congratulate all girls on this list (not my job *strict look at guys* but anyway) and say that hey, we, girls, are the best. We make this world turn. Congratulations once more, and have a terrific day.

P.S. owing to the date, go and buy yourself that madly expensive thing you always wanted to ^_~. I forgive you this sin in advance. I'm gonna hit handbag section in the mall.

Dezi< Join the club. There are prolly lots of us here. Er, well I was in high school anyway. They all though I was really into drugs (which I wasn't at all) so that was my excuse to get away with WAY too much.>>Lucky you had a credible excuse. Here ppl already cross the street to avoid meeting me if they spot me from afar^_^.P.S. I'm in uni, my 3rd mad mad year.

Green Baron <<Latin..me like :) Of course, down in Kosovo, General Rule #1 is no alchohol, though the most I had were five drinks worth and then I said I had enough, despite pelase by firends to drink more. Another guy was more daring and puked all over the table, making him joke material for at least a few months back in the barracks :) But I'm more a liqueur guy. So are you from Vilna?>> Yes, I live in Vilnius. Still >_<. Liquer? As longas it is peach liquer, I'm on your list ^_~. Vilnius Group can wait, hangovers-I doubt.

Yesterday I excelled myself. I managed to stuck a floppy in sister's only a day earlier brought from repair PC and that one is now dead. Dad is away till Tuesday and I am technologically-challenged so it's driving me up to the wall. When he comes, you can start collecting money to come to my funerals. It was nice to meet you. *Grabs a tissue and reaches for a glass of water*.

To weigh in on the weather: It's supposed to be like 50 here tomorrow. I'm not really looking forward to spring here though. Last year I got really really bad headaches (had to go home from work bad) a lot of times right before it would rain. Blah. Oh well, we're supposed to go back to some nice snow on Sunday. Wheeeee!

We have to take a spring term class here. It's basically a two or three week long class on some off the wall topic but hey: It's three easy credits. Class offered include trips to Mexico or New York or Europe (you foot the bill) or 'Why do other countries hate us?' Or 'So you want to ride a bike'. I already know how to ride a bike so I'm taking 'Ancient European History.' I'll get to learn all I can in three weeks of "the dawn of civilization in the fourth millennium B.C. to the collapse of Roman power in Italy and Western Europe." Eh, history is easy.

Fire Storm:<ROUND ONE! FIGHT> Is there a link to this? This sounds like more fun than ancient Europeans.

Revel: <better chance of getting a story sold someday > Yeah but is it a real claim to fame to have beaten out THESE guys? That's like being thrilled you came in second place in a race. Then you add that there were only three people in the race. ;)<teacher who theatened to do the same thing> When my dad was an instructor in Georgia, he would chuck erasers and chalk at people. :)

Green Baron: How come you're not green? <good information from this vile mass murdering son of a drunken camel.> Yeah but how accurate could it be? How do we know if he's not pumping us full of crap. That's what I would do if I was him. I'd have a whole load of crap all planned out to say if I was captured to lead the "enemy" off into the wrong direction. I mean, maybe this guy can really act. <in small gangs of camera flashers> No, we just talk really loud and slow in English and wonder why no one understands what we're saying. :)< For starters I'm from Louisiana. Only steers and queers come from Texas > So then what comes from Louisiana? :)<Slim Fast, maybe> Tang. <but I bet that's an older picture> Yeah, the print version noted it was circa 1988. Only one like that I have though. He should do an update. <Clooney's eye for what he said about the Army> What's that? Gotta link or anything? Should be nearly, but I blew a year and a half in Chicago "art" school. Flying through classes all year round now to catch up. (Even summer sessions which are actually a third the price. :D ) Tired of school and want to move on with real life. < involving an evil leprachaun> Err. <make Robert Duvall's day > 'I Love the Smell of Napalm in the morning!...It smells like Victory!...Someday this war's gonna end.' <Lieberman the Cowardly Lion> Add a little tan makeup and he already kinda looks it. :)

Patrick:<The Wizard of Oz gave the Scarecrow a degree, too> LOL!

Bud Clare: <someone give me a job so that I can pay taxes> So you're living off of my taxes until then? :) Live it up!

Josh: My friend at the Illinois Institute of Technology once went to a Woody Harrelson lecture where he encouraged all in attendance to get high as often as possible.

Leo> <<That just struck me as being so wrong>>: Thank you.
<<So what are you putting that dirty mouth around>>: Saxes. Tenor mostly, but I've had stints on the four majors.
<<What kind of "mothpiece" is it>>: Single reed, mostly molded plastic, though I borrowed a metal once.

Imzadi> <<Never has a headache! But never gives good head>>: Maybe I should take up yoga.
<<We have Chi Epsilon (CE, Civil Eng, get it?)>>: I believe pharmacy here has Rho Chi (think about the Chi symbol). And TBP is all inclusive.

<>: Yes, but he likes to be angry. He spent most of the couple hours we played today berating me because of the length of time I was stuck as Pichu and Ness. But the little rat hurts itself, and no one here can get Ness's third jump. Granted, he did make two character circuits to my one.

<<Mousse is a loser and deserves none for being so dense>>: Watch the second movie and get back to me. Besides, you're hearing the wrong voice. The voice actors in both languages did Gundam Wing: Seki Toshihiko did Duo (the god of death), while Brad Swaile did Quatre (the pansy blond midget).
<<Don't forget the former USSR...>>: You didn't get it. I mentioned two places on entirely different continents, and said that it was contained in something that it contained.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! I bring you a rematch of a fight first brought to you in 1998! COKE-A-COLA vs TECHNOLOGY!

Back in 1999, Coke brought a crippling defeat to a Laptop! This time, a BRAND NEW DIGITAL CAMERA ties to take the title back!

ROUND ONE! FIGHT!
...
Well, hell, that didn't take long. What was that, 1, maybe 2 seconds?

The winner and STILL champion...

Well all this talk of who is freezing and who is not apparently reminded the state where it was so it go up to 70 something today with a nice breeze. Would have been a nice day to be outside with a loved one if did not have to spend the day away doing projects. That's okay 6 more days till break and 7 till Spacebabie comes to Texas. :D

Green Baron- <<Only steers and queers come from Texas :)>> I would take offense, but this is very old. <<Why yes I am. Hopefully you and Revel don't mind my naughty side>> Hehe, don't worry bud, you are a light weight compared to us when we get going. ]:) <<Attila just grabbed his digital camera and took off :)>> Hey, that ain't for everyone :P

GregX- This saddens me beyond words, but at the same time is good because the mroe crap they produce gives me a better chance of getting a story sold someday :D

Leo- Actually, there was no local mention of the Judge taping the guy's mouth. But I did have a seventh grade history teacher who theatened to do the same thing. <<: Euro Disney--Paris Suspends Fireworks Display >> Stupid French.

Mooncat/Silverbolt: I was NOT commenting on Mooncat's sexual prowess! I didn't even realize I had said anything that could be interpreted that way until I read silverbolt's last post. Oops. I meant that just because someone writes lots of porn and loves any materials that is associated with sex (movies/literature/art/whatever), doesn't mean they're good at WRITING PORN...I didn't mean to say anything about their skills in the sack 8-)

Another good, but cold day in camp Bondsteel. And in four hours, I can start taking potshots at the French again :)

Not too much from my end, except that my father is now Presidnet Pro Tempore of the New Orleans Public Belt Railway. Sadly he still lacks a paying job, though he has a variety of annuities, so he's not starving. He may have a good chance at getting a job with the New Orleans Board of Trade. He may not have much in technical skills, but he has a lot of experience and a lot of connections to bring to the table. I hope he gets the job.

In otehr good news, last Sunday we caught Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, CEO of Al Qaeda. Even though it's not affirmed, we may have captured two of Bin Laden's sons. Khalid is the mastermind and tactician behind 9/11, the USS Cole, the Embassy bombings, and many planned but thwarted attack potentials. Hopefully we can get soem good information from this vile mass murdering son of a drunken camel. If he won't cooperate, we'll use some wax strips on his back :) and Wolfowitz can take his kaffiyeh to dry himself, then hand it back to him.

Silverbolt> Odd with all the talk of lesbian sex from Gside, since I recall you are male.

Ravyn> <<In fact, I've heard from the guys already working on this project that the fuel cell itself is *really* really hard to get to explode, even in a really bad accident ... they've even tried shooting it with guns, and they still don't explode. :)>> I'm glad to hear that. Last thing I'd want is a pinto repeat. It had all sorts of horrible effects, from lives needlessly lost to Ralph Nader becoming a household name.

Spacebabie> <<Naughty>> Why yes I am. Hopefully you and Revel don't mind my naughty side. I have slowly been shedding my old more Puritanical, hyper-repressed nature, so I am liable to be worse ;) I still like 1890s fashion though, so I retain a bit of that old side.

Mooncat> <<Well, I'm not really into the guy/guy slash as a whole genre, but I adore certain pairings, like Owen/Xanatos are a catnip high, they make me purrr!!!! >> But I imagine you could make some really bad matches like Vogel/Reynard, or Vinny/Matt Bluestone, which are at best ridiculous and amusing when Mara MSTs the crap out of them.

However, the Xanatos/Owen one is more believable, especially after watching the Simpons.

<<because besides girls who like slash finding guys with guys sexy... they think it's romantic>> That is all dependent on how one writes it.

<<it's a personal taste thing.>> ay and it generates a decent sized market.

Bud-Clare> <> Personally, the issue of America's supposed lack of enlightenment is due to the fact that non-elite Americans have the disposable income to travel and expose themselves to other cultures, while in other countries, travel opportunities are restricted to it's elite, so we tend to get a refined view of a country by being exposed to its highest class.

Then again, it is a good thing that often more or less regular people can enjoy certain opportunities taht many non-Americans cannot get. If I recall our per capita income is still higher than many other developed nations. Though much shopping is chaper in Germany, even with their 16% sales tax, so it's not a perfect scenario.

I do think Americans viisting should remember they are unofficial ambassadors from America so should promote goodwill and do their share to learn the culture. Also if traveling to very inexpensive locations, like Bulgaria leave generous tips. It still leaves the oevrall price cheap and makes us look good.

Granted, anti-Americanism will always be present, but no reaosn to give them valid reasons. At least, our tourists don't take pictures of everything they see in small gangs of camera flashers.

Imzadi> <> If they don't they get a Darwin award if they get blown up. Sadly such people are not so easy to replace.

<<Just don't call him your tall drink of texas beef. I might have to puke.>> For starters I'm from Louisiana. Only steers and queers come from Texas :) Maybe something involving the word Cavalier or soldier.

Silverbolt> <<It was damn funny I can tell you, but not as funny as that film Rat Race :D.>> John Cleese and Rowan Atkinson usually equal funny. I of course would love another Blackadder series.

<<Men don't deserve women>> Aren't you male?

Barraucda> <<What's the point? Is it supposed to be sexy when someone rapes another?>> As long as its written and no one acts on the story, I see no big concern, not that I am by any means fond of rape.

Heather> <<What was wrong with my skills? *is worried*>> Don't be too worried. You'd definitely beat me hands down in an art contest, but I'd kick your butt at an Economic debate (yet we generally agree on Economic issues). Now, if I applied for Economist and the other candidates were Thomas Sowell, Murray Rothbard, Paul Volker and Milton Friedman, I doubt I'd be picked, but it's no big deal. The art classes you get in College will definitely help you. Training is key to anything.

Spacebabie> <> Attila just grabbed his digital camera and took off :)

Imzadi> <<Bullsh*t. Its porn>> If done right, porn can be romantic. Key word IF.

<<Some twisted f*ck's find it erotic.>> Better they get their rocks off reading it than doing it.

<<So why do they need me to fill out an application form that includes ALL the information that's on my resume, then upload it to their site (they couldn't be troubled to set up a form), and THEN upload my resume also!>> It depends on how much you want the job and heavy the competition is. You're selling your intellectual capital and if its a buyer's market, you may have to do more bs. When it's a major seller's market, you can snap your fingers and they kiss your feet.

<<This could be why I didn't get a job offer from them, so this time I'm waiting till after I'm turned down to yell at them 8-)>> Burning bridges is unwuse. You may want to get a job from them in a few years and you may be remembered by the one hiring for good or bad.

<<(What _is_ a liquid lunch, anyway?)>> Slim Fast, maybe.

<<Anyway, I was actually just planning to die at some point. That way, I don't have to go through with the whole thing, but without the embarrassment of backing down.>> Well stay alive for a few more decades. I like having you around.

<<And yet most guys are obsessed with large breasts. The mind boggles...>> I'd say proportion is key, plus males are subjective. I prefer a woman with long, dark hair. Other guys don't. I also prefer a woman who doesn't look liek she has an eating disorder. A slightly overwieght woman is far better looking than some aneroxic model.

<<...I'll ask. What was the first? >> I'm afraid you missed his joke by...that much.

<<Jeez, didn't ANYONE watch Get Smart when they were a kid?! >> I watched with ten thousand of my closest friends as I rented the Galleria theatre....would you believe I rented a small cheap theatre with 100 of my best friedns to watch it....would you believe when a friend came over to spend the night, we'd watch Get Smart and make impressions of Siegfried's accent :)

Libby Rust> Enjoy yoruself and stay a while.

Heather> <<How was I suppose to know what you meant by "Poe"?>> You don't. Gside is just a wild and crazy guy :)

He's even wilder than Bob Dole and Steve Forbes at a techno dance club :)

Kaioto> <<In other news, PETA and the Anti-Defamation League are at each other's throats over PETA's "The Holocaust on Your Plate" campaign. The bunny-hugging lobby just stepped on a major land-mine in their eagerness to convert the world.>> I don't know if you're into reaidng all the right-wing and some liberal hawk blogs (War Liberal and Michael Toten are good examples), but soemoen is proposing a National Eat Meat Day to irk PETA. One blogger going by the pseudonym Jane Galt is a vegetarian, but she is keeping in the spirit by eating a strata, which is vegetarian, but not vegan.

Personally, I'll have some hippie burgers from <<http://hippiesr4bbqing.blogspot.com/>> this blogger named Hippies are for Barbecuing :) She's hillarious.

<<At least make him work for the cheap-shots. ;-)>> Then they'd be expensive-shots

<<Far and away, there are more arrogant people in this comment room, take myself for example. :)>> My demented other personality masquerading as a dead cat beats you any day though :)

<<Further, no one ever said that "civil" and "nice" need to go hand-in hand.>> True, but the ad hominem attacks only reduce our numbers.

Leo> <<Hey, isn't that IMPFAC's color, or is it Jan's?>> Impfac, I'd imagine. Jan would have made mention of it in her LJ, I imagine.

SJ has four friends who are former posters...Pistoff would post in red and slam a few folks in the process. Jewel only posts to anounce fanfics and wish Happy New Years or other nice stuff. Jan might, but her lj would probably make note, so I'd go with Impfac.

Christine> <<Not touching the slash debate, personally. But, having just finished a plushophilia fetish tale for Lit, who'd I be to talk anyway? <eg>>> And in the fan fic blackmarket you have your own mega mall :)

<<He'd be the Prince Consort, or something like that. At least if I had anything to say about it, which I would ;)>> Like Prince Albert was never King of England,a nd I don't think Maria Theresa's husband was ever Emperor. BTW, I got a neat Maria Theresa coin in Sofia. When you get the dough, I highly recommend Bulgaria or anywhere east of Austria, though for Tim I see him as a Prague man. I'd compare it to Paris, but not until after Friday :)

<> I see Howard Stern saying that.

Dejanira> <<And it's not going to move out for a while>> Good, for without Lithuania, you can't have the Vilnius Group :)

Bud-Clare> <<In all fairness, though, chick flicks really aren't any more stupid than guy flicks... Sex and violence with no plot really isn't any less stupid than mushiness with no plot. Plot good...>> But incredibly cheesy stuff is funny from being so bad, like Dude Where's My Car, or Friday the Thirteenth movies. Of course, some are just plain awful like Seamless.

<<No, he can actually get girls... (Although sometimes it's unclear how.) >> If I can attract a lady's fancy, even Imzadi and Gside can....maybe ;)

Silvadel> Nerds and popularity and brains are all relative and individuals can break the standard expectation.

Our valedictorians were both very popular and good friends of mine (I was trying to set one of them up with my second cousin). Our salutatorian was a dumb jock with brains, but he basically acted like a doofus, or was he acting...he was very good at Math, though.

I was popular with the nerds and some popular folks, though a graduating class of 150 is not as cliqquish as one of 500, on average. I don't know which category I'd fit. I think I'm more geek than nerd though my mother uses the term dork. I was known, though only those that really knew me liked me. Others saw me as a non-threatening joke, liek when I dressed up as Richard Nixon at a 70s dance and even did disco with Nixon v signs. I ran for Student Council Treasurer and got elected because the guy running against me was an even bigger joke, but a good friend, though he definitely fit the nerd stereotype and was often called Urkel, and he was even more obnoxious than I am, though had better luck with women.

<<(I can remember being off both the high honor roll and honor roll because I got A's in all of the academic subjects and a C in gym despite the fact that I tried my hardest and the other kids didnt).>> I had two years of Gym, 2.5 if you include my semseter in eighth grade that didn't count as a HS credit, but all we had to do was put on the gym uniform and make an effort, and some morons didn't even do that. I was lousy, but I got an A just for bringing the right clothes. I guess your HS took it more seriously.

<<we had "the math-science team" and they tried to keep us together for the most part where possible(and had activities just for our group etc) in the hopes that we would at least form a social body of our own).>> We had Academic Games which invovled Math, poli sci, and speech related games. National Honors Society held that function to some extent. Student Council and Key Club had a function like that, but not based on Academics. There was also Mu Alpha Theta for the Math stars, along with many others. I along with some of my firends amde a game of seeing who coudl get their faceon the most yearbook pictures. My Nixon outfit got me one page :)

Gary> I think I remember you form the other CR.

Green Baron> <<*blushes*>> My work is done then :)

Dezi> That's your dad, but I bet that's an older picture, as he was a Specialist back then and had only three ribbons.

You're against the war, but your with the soldier. I just wish the others were that way. I imagien you may want to stick an incepick in George Clooney's eye for what he said about the Army.

I thought you were a Senior, btw.

<<Actually I did. On Nick at Nite. And Car 54 Where are you. And the old Dragnet.>> I remember them, and F-Troop. I made a weird Mary Tyler Moore/F-Troop crossover on tape, involving an evil leprachaun.

<<-And the winner of the longest CR post I've ever read goes to.... Green Baron! - for last weeks novel! :D>> ::bows:: I try, but Traveler sets the CR record. He broke the site once.

<<are supposed to be the forefathers of the Arabs or something like that.>> Nope...that's Ishmael (or Ismael in my pre-Vatican II Bible), but Moab was a son of Lot and his daughter, and his kids were enemies of Israel as most in the Middle east were back then and still are, but whenever they fight Israel nowadays, they get their asses served to them with a side order of crow.

Gside> <<She is the one I am generally rooting for Mousse to get some action with.>> Not me, for Mousse is a loser and deserves none for being so dense, but nowhere near as big a loser as Kuno. I rather like Nabuki's sense of mercenary capitalism, too.

<<Ukyo Kuonji. And baker tenst to imply working solely with carbos, no meats, so she'd probably be mroe a cook or chef.>> True, but I would probably pick her.

<<Recently, it's been in Hoboken, Antartica, Sydney, and recursively Vilnius>> Don't forget the former USSR, and of course Vilnius as their capitol is Vilna. Too bad they are so close to Belarus.

Imzadi> <<Why do I have a feeling the fattest person is in CA?>> Maybe so, but healthwise, the West Coast tops the country, while the South is at bottom, mainly due to traditional diet.

Imzadi> <<So what? There are many idiots out there with Master's degrees. Hell I'll be one of them soon enough.>> But it shows Gore is even dumber for he can't even accomplish what Bush did, plus if he won his home state, he'd be President and he'd be too concerned about sensitivity to combat terrorism...the fact that Gore couldn't win West Virginia also shows him to be a moron. Bush is the first Republican to win West Virginia against a competitive opponent since 1920 I think. Even Jimmy Carter, Michael Dukakis, Hubert Humphrey and Adlai Stevenson (in 52) won West Virginia, but Gore wasn't even able to do that. LOSER!!

<> Well, I don't blame you, but maybe a left-leaning reasonably attractive young lady with good hygeine, perhaps.

<<And after all that, can still speak ENGLISH.>> Yet the only reason he came close was because Lieberman was his VP and a whiny voice for all Americans. I'm not saying Bush is a rocket scientist, just that I think less of Gore..much less.

<> I know snakes are phylum chordata like us...and even Helen Thomas, though she was in the Washington press Corps when humans started walking upright :)

<<the northern corner of campus (where the engineers are) could be cut out and transplanted anywhere in the country, and it'd be no different for it except for the weather and the number of Asians.>> I guess you have hippie-free zone signs to show the boundary of Engineer territory :)

Bud-Clare> <> I guess it means you're not prone to date male programmers.

<<What if they were hosed down first?>> Too mid-sixties and controversial :)

<<Bastard. What kind of student are you?>>
I can relate. I like sleep, so I didn't do that, unless the next class was at 1pm and I could sleep until 10 or so.

<<That's why I like horror movies... a good laugh is never a waste of money. ;)>> Have you seen Jason X?

Silverbolt> <<Hippies using violence? That's as stupid as those people who were going to Iraq as human shields but had to turn back for 'safey' reasons...>> They also realized they were being used, and I doubt anyone in the CR would say that Sadaam is in any way a decent respectable human being. The term useful idiot best describes the human shields to me.

Mooncat> <<Baroness has a lovely ring to it.>> So I guess we should get better acquainted, my Baroness ;)

<<I'd be more than happy to retire as a Duchess of Decadence>> Then I'd be your vassal.

<<How very... limiting.>> Better him than Fang. Though for all I know they have some weird Maggie/Captain Chavez slash fic and now I have an image of Patrick Toman and Kathy Pogge....no bad GB, bad GB :)

Mooncat> <<If characters don't have the possibilities of change and growth, and that also includes their love lives, why should any fan bother with fan fiction at all?>> Interesting idea. I see love and romance as one angle and some may not be too comfortable with going against the Greg-made couples, but what the hell, its fanfic, and one very good writer/editor had a little fun with Angela and Matt Bluestone, but she still chose Broadway :)

Niamhgold> <<Well, "cupcake" immediately comes to mind, but only in the context of an Invader Zim episode ;)>> To quote a Candian, eh?

<<But Baron is fine, as is Soldier, or it could go really corny with "Slice," considering the pics I've seen ;) >> The one of me with an M16?

<<Are you kidding me? Which picture are you basing this one on? ;) In any case, thank you...it's good to get away with some things every once and a while, even if the middle adjective is often under debate ;)>> Well, I've seen a few pics including one with the Justice League. What superhero were you? As for single, I am, but I am more into fun than I used to be.

<<Or, at least, deoderant.>> My roomate has a local girlfriend/fiance (can you say sucker) and she showers daily, but she won't use the deodarant he gave her, because she is not used to it. Though they think we should smell like a human and not like a flower, so it goes both ways.

<> Being deployed I can eat meat on Friday, but I try not to unless I get a major protein need..didn't ahve one, today, though.

<<Do have an address at which postcards and the like get forwarded to? I've sent a few to Shadowrider and my cousin, both in the armed forces; if you want one or two, I'd be happy to oblige. :)>>

<<My mother was substituting a 5th grade class during their health session, recently...and half of the girls could graphically describe and simulate hand-jobs that would probably make my friends and I jealous ;) >> So much for Jocelyn Elders wanting it taught in school, though I didn't start until 8th grade...probably tmi right there.

<<In that situation...you were probably quite lucky.>> Very lucky...when I see a demonstration I try to keep my distance..and I'm in the Army, though not armed :)

<<But us evil conservatives have to be made to see the light at any cost!>> I'll show them the light...make em watch Sean Hannity ofr seven hours, followed by Bill O'Reilly, and then Ann Coulter porno.....that may be the trigger to convert them :)

<<And shaved. And lost 30 lbs.>> Don't forget shampoo for the hair.

Patrick Toman> <<The Wizard of Oz gave the Scarecrow a degree, too. :P>> Hmm...Bush is the scarecrow, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend can be teh Wicked Witch of the East, Nancy Pelosi Wicked Witch of the West (I'll get your tax cuts and your little dog, too), Dick Cheney can be the tin man, Lieberman the Cowardly Lion, Liddy Dole can be Dorothy, and Gore can be the last tree the woodsman chopped down :)

Dejinara> <<In vino veritas>> Latin..me like :) Of course, down in Kosovo, General Rule #1 is no alchohol, though the most I had were five drinks worth and then I said I had enough, despite pelase by firends to drink more. Another guy was more daring and puked all over the table, making him joke material for at least a few months back in the barracks :)

But I'm more a liqueur guy. So are you from Vilna?

Mooncat> <<A true Aristocrat in the realm of Gargoyle fan fictions, I agree he is very deserving of a Noble Title. He's a Prince of a person, and a Master of his craft. He and Kathy both have more than earned recognition for their contribution to Gargoyles fandom. Arch Duke and Duchess would not be an over estimation in my humble opinion. *^_~*>> His Grace, ArchDuke Patrick FranzFerdinand Toman, who ducks whenever he sees a Serbian gunman.

On the subject of the mutates, what surprises me is that there isnt a line a million people long to join that clan. I mean if you had the choice of being human, or being say a panther-mutate like derek etc is, which would you choose? Only thing that could really change that decision for me would be if they had a significantly shortened lifespan(Havent really seen that gone into much either -- IE do the mutates live to 80? or do they burn out at 55?)

I mean at the very least having vastly swelled numbers of the mutates would add a lot to the acceptance of gargoyles because they would be a sizable minority rather than a very small cluster of entities.

Jennifer Love Hewitt is in negoiations to star in a live action
movie of Garfield!

Hewitt, 24, is currently talking to producers about starring in the
live action movie based on the popular Jim Davis comic strip.

Lazy, sarcastic, lasagna loving cat Garfield first appeared in comic
strips in 1978. In the movie Garfield will appear as a CGI character
opposite real actors.

Garfield The Movie is written by Cohen and Alec Sokolow (Toy Story)
and will focus on the rivalry between Garfield and his dim-witted
canine sibling Odie.

Road Trip star Breckin Meyer is also in negoiations to co-star as
Jon Arbuckle in the movie with Hewitt playing his on-screen love
interest.

The 20th Century Fox movie will go into production next month with
Peter Hewitt (Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey) directing.

Josh [Stop inflating her ego unnecessarily. Just because someone writes lots of porn and loves anything with sex doesn't mean they're good at it. I've seen much stronger stuff from Madame Destine. Patrick would make a fine baroness 8-) ]

heh... Don't listen to him Silverbolt! Inflate my ego all you like! *^_^* It's extremely pleasant and I don't mind in the least *^_~* --

Though Josh is correct that quantity doesn't equate to quality. Whether I'm any good at what I write is very subjective to the reader. As it is, I'm quite satisfied with what I do, and with the response of people who read my work and give me feedback.

As for whether I'm any good at sex, the only persons whose opinions matters in that are my sex partners. As Josh isn't one, it's really not for him to say one way or the other if I'm good at it. No one graced with my favors has ever complained, and the enthusiastic response of my lovers seem to indicate I'm getting it right though.

Patrick -- A true Aristocrat in the realm of Gargoyle fan fictions, I agree he is very deserving of a Noble Title. He's a Prince of a person, and a Master of his craft. He and Kathy both have more than earned recognition for their contribution to Gargoyles fandom. Arch Duke and Duchess would not be an over estimation in my humble opinion. *^_~*

Spacebabie! Release Spring and Summer! Share! :: taps foot impatiently :: I've been freezing my kitty tail off in the midwest! sigh... today is finally supposed to be warm... Course the last them the weather man said that I got an ice storm instead. grrrrr...

THOUGHT FOR TODAY (inspired by Imzadi's latest "If I was a Big Bad" piece): If I ever became a super-villain, I would never have kids, period. They'd be a problem for two reasons:

1. If they have a conscience, they'd refuse to help me and would even oppose me (cf. Demona and Angela, Madoc Morfryn and Merlin, etc.).

2. If, on the other hand, they took after me and were thoroughly villainous, they might learn the trade too well from me, and decide to depose me and take over for themselves (as in Thailog with Xanatos or Paxton Powers with Derek Powers in "Batman Beyond").

Re: "Snakes have spines?" > Yes, snakes have spines. In fact, from the base of the skull on back, their skeletons are almost nothing but vertebrae and ribs. Which means they have the longest spines in the animal kingdom.

Josh > "I've seen much stronger stuff from Madame Destine. Patrick would make a fine baroness 8-)" - Woo... a compliment from Josh! Hope that's not a sign that on the way into work this morning I'm gonna spot four horsemen. ;) :: wonders if a castle in the English countryside come with that title ::

Silverbolt > << The Bear said "I wish all the bears in the forest were bears!" And the Genie granted him his wish. >> Turn the bears into bears? Come on now... give the genie a challenge. :P

Green Baron > "...at least George W. has a Masters Degree." - The Wizard of Oz gave the Scarecrow a degree, too. :P

I don't find most comedies to be particularly funny. But bad movies are another matter entirely, and the majority of horror movies are bad. I read bad fanfic for the same reasons (including slash, because there's just something funny about characters behaving in a way that is totally out of character).

Today I went to this sweet lecture by Scott Adams (he draws Dilbert). He spoke at the business school because he's an MBA graduate of the Haas School of Business here at Cal. Very funny, and really tried to point out that all success is just trying enough things out to make up for the failures. He also pointed out that, statistically, a Warren Buffett has to exist and since that position is taken, you might as well stay out of the stock market, or at least away from stock analysts. He speaks just like he writes, if any of you have read his books.

Angel last night ROCKED! Faith has put on a few pounds, but she's still got a great rack. Cordy as the big bad...well, didn't we just see this last season in Buffy?

Dejanira: <<Haven't been drinking with him/her so I'm afraid we are not acquainted>>: Are you saying the only people you know are drinking buddies?
<<I'd rather go and see Mars>>: Sadly, the consortium didn't say anything about going to Mars.

Trok: <<has anyboby some kiind of information about the new serie BAD GUYS?>>: Nope.
<<when it will be released?>>: Never.
<<Gargoyles season4?>>: Also never.

Bud Clare: <<I'd say that the really valid point was that school is a joke>>: Not a joke, just poorly designed.
<<men get all teary-eyed when they see a good explosion>>: Bah!
<<you missed the joke>>: Besides, its size that matters, not how you use it.
<<Unless it sucked, and you feel bad about wasting the money>>: That's true.
<<a good laugh is never a waste of money>>: I don't get that from horror. Comedy, though.
<<What kind of student are you?>>: The good kind. Which explains my GPA and my admission to graduate school 8-)
<<I'm pretty sure that paragraph was really disjointed>>: And you'd be correct.
<<Trade you>>: HAHAHAHA no.
<<What if they were hosed down first?>>: And shaved. And lost 30 lbs.
<<Am I supposed to hate myself?>>: No, you're just not supposed to date other programmers.

Silverbolt: <>: Stop inflating her ego unnecessarily. Just because someone writes lots of porn and loves anything with sex doesn't mean they're good at it. I've seen much stronger stuff from Madame Destine. Patrick would make a fine baroness 8-)

<>: HAHAHAHAHA.

Mooncat: <<Stellar resume>>: You seem to be under the impression that girls actually care. I've seen girls who date guys who treat them like garbage, or guys who ignore them, or guys who fawn over them. I've seen girls avoid their own best interests at all costs, for the simply stupid reason that they can't stand to be alone. Maggie strikes me as one of these people.

Niamhgold: <<NH has at least 80 inches on the ground>>: Zip...Thud.

<<wonder who that could be>>: Doug.
<<We should all have that job>>: Then who would do my dishes!?
<<Vaseline for the Windex>>: I do NOT want to know. Sick Italian culture.
<<a good lady that is>>: Never has a headache! But never gives good head.
<<what more do some people need?>>: A nice rack.
<<Must...have...tall drink of Berkeley--aack! Water!...must have...WATER!>>: Bit of a slip there?
<<"Well, you'd be surprised">>: Quiet, vinay.
<>: True.
<<an unpaid one>>: Damn commies.
<<Where do they all fit?>>: I make room.
<>: No, I got it. I just ignored it.
<<though I'm not sure what to use>>: Testor's enamels? Or airbrush?
<<What is it appraised at, then?>>: For work, about $30/hr. But you can only get about 40 hours a week at that rate, after that it goes up exponentially.
<<Congrats and good luck on that>>: Thanks. Too bad I have to wake up at 815 for it.
<<And then they still take their sweet time, don't they?>>: Not Berkeley!
<<hand-jobs that would probably make my friends and I jealous>>: For themselves or their boyfriends?
<<The girls or the programmers?>>: yes.
<>: That's the point.
<<we feel like we haven't done enough if we haven't met porn standards>>: EXACTLY! You women have such lousy imaginations in bed!
<>: You were cold in Baltimore.
<<Says who?>>: Me, obviously.
<<We should all have that job>>: We can't all have that job and the one where we shoot hydrogen tanks.
<<you've not yet failed to achieve anything>>: I failed to get into MIT. I failed to break 1510 on my SAT. I failed...uh, that's about it. ;-)
<<Which picture are you basing this one on?>>: The naked one.
<<even if the middle adjective is often under debate>>: LOL. Subtle.

Heather: If you want an honest opinion (and I know you don't, but you're getting it anyway) on why I think you might have been turned down by TGS, here it is. Your art, while showing promise, lacks attention to detail. Gargoyles need more shadow/feathers/texture on the wings, and better muscle definition. The proportions between the head and body need serious work, and you need to pay more attention to the positioning of parts of the body so that the body LOOKS like its turned when its turned. Right now I can see a turned head in many drawings when the character is supposed to be facing something, but the rest of the body lacks even slight angling. Its just facing straight on. Keep at it, and you'll probably have something for TGS someday. But right now they're being a bit more stringent about art quality (which is why they have so few pics, if any), and that stuff on your site isn't quite in the same league.

Spacebabie: <<Why the frell is it so hot?>>: I'm so jealous.
<<Ewww yucky! Cordy is carrying Conner�s child>>: Agreed.
<<Conner and Faith? Oh yeah>>: Twisted. But appropriate.
<<What about Godiva?>>: Godiva is FAKE. Beyond being a cartoon, she's a ROBOT.
<<You are a guy you do it wherever you can finda private location>>: Not really.
<<Josh has yet to piss me off>>: I'm running out of ways to be subtle.
<<Snackes have spines>>: Snacks have spines?

Gside: <<Tau Beta Pi>>: We have Chi Epsilon (CE, Civil Eng, get it?)
<<ftp programs>>: Developed by yourself or for class?
<<But my embouchure is worlds better than yours>>: and that's hardly relevant as long as you keep 'em screaming ;-)
<<Leda and the Swan?>>: Uh...no.
<<you can also make big square things out of wood, steel, and/or concrete>>: True. But they don't have to be big. Or square.
<<Wench?>>: Yes, that's perfect.
<<At least one of my roomies regularly refers to me as a dirty !@#$%^& rather regularly>>: You are.
<<Perhaps he's just generally annoyed that I prefer to jump instead of block and roll in Smash>>: Small thing to get worked over, isn't it?
<<without a digital camera>>: Bad geek! No cookie!

Leo: <<So what are you putting that dirty mouth around>>: No one wants to know.

143. If one of my daughters actually manages to win the hero and openly defies me, I will congratulate her on her choice, declare a national holiday to celebrate the wedding, and proclaim the hero my heir. This will probably be enough to break up the relationship. If not, at least I am assured that no hero will attack my Legions of Terror when they are holding a parade in his honor.

<>: The ice cream? I'm pretty sure my mouth and chin were covered.
<<you're none of the three that I can tell>>: You don't know me very well, then. At least one of my roomies regularly refers to me as a dirty !@#$%^& rather regularly. And double checking with him, he says all three adjectives apply to me. Perhaps he's just generally annoyed that I prefer to jump instead of block and roll in Smash.
<<Put up more>>: I don't take many, and without a digital camera, I'd have to scan stuff when I'm back at home.
<<Must...have...tall drink of Berkeley--aack! Water>>: Feh, Jersey water has much more taste than any other water.
<<it's better than looking like an unkempt Buddha>>: I believe quite a few incarnations of Buddha are spry.

Spacebabie> <<It�s been in the 80�s for the past two days?>>: More snow/sleet/freezing rain today here.

Heather: Personally, drawing fanfic characters is a great starting point/exercise from everyone, just because you get to make something fanciful, but you have a reference point, as well ;) In any case, only just got a brief look at your stuff, but I think you have the best flair right now for the pencil/line drawings of characters. Like "Cute Hatchlings," I can see the amount of structure and time you're devoting to drawing the forms. In coloring they lose a bit of their dimension (color's usually harder to work with), but I can see you having strength in sequential art, maybe in some caricature. Selling/entering stuff in fan shows, at conventions, is a great place to start, maybe helping out a few underground/independent publishers in their studios and such. How old are you?

Why the frell is it so hot? It�s been in the 80�s for the past two days? The heat must be driving all the nuts out.
Tuesday on my campus some idiot with a bible kept blabbing about religion and how all Arabs are the enemy.
�This is why atheists hate us.� that is what I said. Today the hippies came out again.

Twisting around the cannon couples. I do enjoy reading them, I don�t write them except for the occasional seasonal challenge.

Being violent to Cannon characters. I haven�t been doing that much .hmmmm.

I had Thailog torture Demona
Brooklyn got shot in the wing once

I have been picking on Fang: Falling flat on his face, getting sand in his eyes, injuring his back while saving a gargoyle in stone form.

Non Cannon characters have gotten it much worse

One of the member�s of Tony�s gang got his throat ripped out Bronx and has his vocal cords damage to the point where he can�t talk.

A cop got his brains blown out.

Tony�s gang tortured an executive: Punched him in the face, cut off an ear, and removed an eyeball.

And my latest. Reggie Leahs got the crap beaten out of him by Jon Canmore.

I need to be more of a bitch to the cannon characters.

********SPOILERS FOR ANGEL**********************
Cordy�s the big bad this season? Is that really Cordy or an evil creature that looks like Cordy?

Faith rocks�In my mind I hear Eliza Dushku�s voice for Mars Bluestone.

The Beast got destroyed by Angelus using a piece of the beat�and the sun is back.

Ewww yucky! Cordy is carrying Conner�s child? No! simply no! I do not like the idea of Cordy and Conner.

Conner and Faith? Oh yeah!

I�ll depart with a GWB joke that should give the Canadians and various other international C.R patrons a laugh
---------
A guy just got hit by a car, and was taken to the emergency room. Doctor said, �Looks like your going to need a brain transplant.�

Guy asked, �Well, Doc, how much will that cost me?�

�It depends. We have a brain from a Mc Donald�s cook, and that will cost you $250,000; or we can give you George W. Bush�s brain, and that will cost you $3,000,000.�

�Wow, why is the ex-president�s brain so much more expensive?�

�Isn�t that obvious? It�s because Bush�s brain has never been used.�

** Niamhgold enters **

Well, I was wrong that going home for spring break wouldn't be any more depressing (snow-wise) than staying in Baltimore. NH has at least 80 inches on the ground, not counting the hefty snowpiles. At lease my dad invested in cable internet hookup, and there's a couple of new coffee places in town. I wnet for a nice haircut, since it got a bit too long at school. And I'm loving my mother's free food ;)

Already have gotten some really nice offers for possible living arrangements and am in the process of weeding out the less-feasible ones. Although I know that as soon as I get back to school, I'm recruiting friends who want to work in LA to see if they'd like to split an apartment (I know at least one, aiming for Cartoon Network). I think subletting, however, is how I'm going to run. Now I've just got to hope that LucasArts *doesn't* accept me, because that'll move my housing search five hours north ;)

Ooh, and I sold art! Bad news? My boss's tax return statements for my summer job came. I hate paying taxes ;)

Replies:

Heather: Sorry that you didn't get picked, but that doesn't mean a darn thing--you're great, anyways :) <Either that or I don't have much experience in background making or the faces are all wrong or something...> Y'know, art is subjective, on both the viewer's and artist's parts. I know that my strength is in perspective, and that hands and feet murder me. But everyone has a niche, and once you figure out how to cash in on it--well, you'll cash in on it ;)

Silverbolt: Damn, you *either*? Makes me *really* glad I didn't apply! <Oh well no biggie *makes Voodoo dolls of the TGS team*> Oh, FUN :) My roomie made my other roomie Voodoo dolls of all the annoying senior design majors for Xmas this year ;)

Ravyn: <That means hopefully I can take a few weekends here and there this summer and drop by to see my brother at West Point, and a certain special somebody in Michigan! > Hmmm, wonder who that could be? ;) Have fun, you enviable chica! <My silly mechanical engineering senior design project is keeping me pretty darn busy, though ...> Man, I have to *come up* with a senior thesis one of these days... :( <they've even tried shooting it with guns, and they still don't explode. :)> We should all have that job :)

Spacebabie: <Recently saw My Big Fat Greek Wedding� I could see why it was such a big hit> Hehe. I love the Windex thing. Subsitute Italians for Greeks and Vaseline for the Windex, and you've got my maternal family's version of the movie ;) < is spring down here> ::Grumbles:: This is why people get depressed in the winter up here--it's all snowy and dark and yet the stores decorate with "spring is in the air signs". It's like being homeless and then having somone dangle pizza in front of you ;)

Mooncat: <I'm dying to get out and get some exercise> I'm just glad for my yoga mat and weights ;) <but I adore certain pairings, like Owen/Xanatos are a catnip high, they make me purrr!!!!> I think someone once did a Gabriel/Brooklyn match. That was the most...interesting one I've read ;)

Gside: Goes with that "cold girl on a warm night" preference, eh? ;) <Perhaps good sir> Only if I was truly a lady. But, being more in the class division inclusive of strumpets and harlots (at least, financially), I'd have to opt for something a little more...informal. <It's mostly my adherence to smut, but there's also a good bit of lack of use of outgoing email getting in the way> Wilek's a bit of a prude, then? Doesn't like the smut factor? <My right hand.> And a good lady that is! <Unfortunately, it's been distracted by media, and school work> Argh. Tell me about it ;) <Whole roast pigs on a spit, you're suggesting?> That, and time travel. May I refer you to the wonderful world of Invader Zim? <You've never seen me below my nose> I think one picture was of the neck and above...and what more do some people need? ;) <I've only got one over them, and it doesn't really help in the acquirement stage> Hey, you're none of the three that I can tell...perhaps varying stages of stupidity are applicable, but everyone has at least one facet of stupidity, from what I've observed. <Nah, just the only one that I can remember putting up.> Put up more! <And hallucinations> Hehe. "Must...have...tall drink of Berkeley--aack! Water!...must have...WATER!"

Bud_Clare: <Tempting, but I kind of like not having a criminal record... > Pfffshaaa.

Imzadi: <Usually they're an extra, though> Like a side of fries. Or spleens. <Usually, yes.> Sometimes I wonder if people do that more because they're afraid of shocking someone...or having that someone want to join in the fun ;) <all that cool technology just builds itself> I will not say, "Well, you'd be surprised"... <Aside from being myself, that is> I think that's usually enough for most people ;) <Does that mean you've found a job out there?> Possibly. I'm keeping several options open, and working out the second job aspect if one internship is an unpaid one. <I've got three spleens.> Where do they all fit? <They can deliver to my door now> I don't think you caught the drift... <Sweet!> It's ready to be painted, though I'm not sure what to use. And I had to glue styrofoam to the base because it printed out only a mm thick and crumbled ;) <Just don't call him your tall drink of texas beef. I might have to puke.> LOL. LOL ^2. Never said you were, though ;) <Yeah but art chicks probably think that's cute or some dumb sh*t> Perhaps, but it's better than looking like an unkempt Buddha. <My time is not worthless> What is it appraised at, then? <Looks like I have an interview with Shell Oil coming up> Congrats and good luck on that :) <So why do they need me to fill out an application form that includes ALL the information that's on my resume, then upload it to their site (they couldn't be troubled to set up a form), and THEN upload my resume also!> Jerks. Everyone wants a cover letter, AND a statement of purpose, AND a questionnaire, AND a resume, and THEN a portfolio. And then they still take their sweet time, don't they? As you well should. <Girls with massive breasts rarely look good topless> Agreed. Especially since all of the models we've had in class used to be perky, big-breasted babes in their youth. Look at them now, in their thirties and forties and...eeeek. <Oh spare me your pathetic attempts at insulting me. At least one of those adjectives hold true for nearly everyone person in this CR.> Well, maybe... My mother was substituting a 5th grade class during their health session, recently...and half of the girls could graphically describe and simulate hand-jobs that would probably make my friends and I jealous ;) <Okay...so then there was something in your work that wasn't as good as someone else's, therefore theirs was better and yours wasn't good enough to win. Where's the confusion?> In the fact that art is subjective, and it's hard for some people with a preference for facial expressions to consider someone who predominately works in, say, lighting or color. Guess it depends on the situation ;) <But girls in general don't like programmers. They're weird 8-)> The girls or the programmers? ;) < wish girls would watch more porn so they could get more ideas> I think it gives out too many ideas to us women, so that we feel like we haven't done enough if we haven't met porn standards of, say, making it in an elevator during a thunderstorm or something like that ;) <You'll have to beat me to it> I still call Pluto! <That is under debate> Monkeys vs. Penguins. <<<can get away with it>>: So is that.> Says who? <Easy to identify and shoot> We should all have that job ;) <My mother says I was stupid for doing this, as they might have beat me with their peace signs> In that situation...you were probably quite lucky. <Gotta love those "open minded" Berkeley liberals.> Well, they will crack open your skull... <They both told me they weren't surprised.> I don't think any of us are surprised...you've not yet failed to achieve anything :)

GB: <Surprisingly she made no retort on that> Certainly a lady :) <Baron or cutie or something semi-indecent as Well, "cupcake" immediately comes to mind, but only in the context of an Invader Zim episode ;) But Baron is fine, as is Soldier, or it could go really corny with "Slice," considering the pics I've seen ;) <you are an attractive single young lady and can get away with it ;)> Are you kidding me? Which picture are you basing this one on? ;) In any case, thank you...it's good to get away with some things every once and a while, even if the middle adjective is often under debate ;) <Hah!!! I guess we won't need that napalm :)> Awww, darnit! That would be so cool to wake up to :) <Time to call in the National Guard. They can keep the demonstrators in line> "Na-Palm, Na-Palm, Na-Palm!!!" <except I prefer women with shaved armpits that you use soap as oppsoed to cheap perfume> Or, at least, deoderant. <Yep, it's Lent again> I love it when mom makes salmon and haddock filets for dinner ;) <Green Baron arrives with a cross of ashes on his forehead> Do have an address at which postcards and the like get forwarded to? I've sent a few to Shadowrider and my cousin, both in the armed forces; if you want one or two, I'd be happy to oblige. :)

Silverbolt - I am always excited by fictions that take the canon characters "out of the box" If fan writers shouldn't make any changes to a couple if occurs in canon, then why should anyone write any kind of fan fic if canon is the be all and end all of the characters definition? But there are a lot of fans who can't handle anything but Goliath and Elisa with their relationship set in stone, or Talon and Maggie, Angela and Broadway, etc... That's kind of petrifying. *^_~*

I guess one of the reasons your new fic appeals to me is that I like seeing Maggie taken out of a carved in stone definition. If characters don't have the possibilities of change and growth, and that also includes their love lives, why should any fan bother with fan fiction at all?

But I've given some thought to the concept that Talon and Maggie being together [which has so much to do with them now being the same kind of being (mutate)] being romanticized as fate. :P

That seems a *total reversal* of Elisa and Goliath, where fate brings them together, and they have to overcome the obstacle of NOT being the exact same kind of creature. Maggie and Talon being together seems to "take the easiest path" rather than "rise against the odds" that makes a couple romantic. It bleeds into the somewhat disturbing thought "stick to your own kind".

If Maggie were not the ONLY female mutate, would Derek still be coupled with her? If Derek weren't the only male mutate who wasn't a grade a jerk like Fang or childlike and mute like Claw... would Maggie be interested? Derek's an okay guy, which in comparison of the very small sample given of three male mutates (not including our wingless Wolf) makes him the default "prince".

But on the face of it... what is so special about Derek? He's Elisa's brother (importance through family connnection) and he got mutated (importance through outside agency) and other than that he simply isn't as much of a jerk as Fang... He's a first class pilot, but the defining skill is now redundant, other than making him more comfortable as a winged being. Stellar resume.

So why should Maggie love and be "fated" to Derek? Simply because he *is* a male mutate? How very... limiting.

I'm rather pleased to find fics that take Maggie "out of the box" She gets so little attention as it is. sighs...

Silverbolt - "And whilst we're at it I nomiate Mooncat as our Smutty Barnoness :D "

:: hugs silverbolt ::

Baroness has a lovely ring to it. And I like it somewhat better than the 'King' title I won at the last King of Gargoyle Porn contest. --- Which actually, I wonder if we ought to have another? So *many* new faces in the adult subgenre now. I'd be more than happy to retire as a Duchess of Decadence *^_~* and let some bright eye'd and eager soul become "King"

As for mainstream Gargoyle fan fic, we have some fantastic new faces there as well.

The exciting Ellen Stolfa has brought the concept of Gargoyle Fan Fic to new levels of excellence with her tightly plotted and absolutely gripping full fledged NOVELS. She's raised the bar of achievement to celestial new heights.

Then there is the stunning glory of Summer Jackel's new epics, that bring an exquisite dark edged flavor of high fantasy to her arcane and complex characterizations of the familiar canon characters. Her work literally steals my breath away. I have to remember to inhale when I'm caught up in her stories.

I'd say both of those are rising young Queens still in the glory of their first flights.

I am of course madly jealous of them both *^_^*

There are so many good writers out there now, with definitive bodies of works... It is a good time to be a Gargoyles fan.

And now for a joke involving a Bunny and a Bear.

In a forest a Bunny and a Bear found a bottle and inside they found a Genie who granted them three wishes each.

The Bear said "I wish all the bears in the forest were bears!" And the Genie granted him his wish.

The bunny said "I wish for a motorcycle helmet" And the Genie gave him one.

The Bear then said "I wish all the bears in the COUNTRY were female!" And the Genie did so.

The Bunny then wished for a motor cycle.

The bear then made his final wish "I wish all the bears in the WORLD were female!" And the Genie did so.

The Bunny started up the motor cycle, put on his helmet and said "I wish this Bear was gay." And drove off

Would take too long. The problem was that the guy made the essay revolve around nerds, which (apparently) caused some of the readers to miss any and all non-nerd-related points. And he made the same mistake that you (and others) did, by assuming that all nerds are the same, and are some kind of universal constant. His nerd-related points _are_ accurate... for some nerds, presumably some of the ones that he knows. Like I said, my school didn't even _have_ proper nerds, and obviously the nerds that you knew were also different. Just because he screwed up by assuming that all nerds are the same doesn't invalidate all of his points. (I've been up all night, so I'm pretty sure that paragraph was really disjointed...)

On my way back from the gym today, a large anti-war protest was forming. Some flaming liberal came up to me and asked me to sign something, and I just said "I HATE HIPPIES" and kept moving. My mother says I was stupid for doing this, as they might have beat me with their peace signs. Gotta love those "open minded" Berkeley liberals.

I went to a student-faculty mixer today for the Civil Eng. department, and I talked to the profs that wrote my recommendations to tell them thank you because I got in to Berkeley. They both told me they weren't surprised. The chair of the department said that he knew I'd get in. Wish he'd told me sooner, I could have saved a lot of application fees and the LSAT.

After all, small children like crocodiles almost as much as Evil Overlords and it's important to spend quality time with the grandkids.

Chick flicks? eh, my friends go see them. I wouldn't, although if I'm extremely bored and its on cable or something, probably. But the whole time, I'll sit there and think 'I could be doing something so much more productive right now. Like homework (yeah right)'.

Gotta 88% on my fiber optics paper. Not bad for pulling the thing together at 230 am the day its due. :) And yes the teacher liked the pretty pictures.

Just checked my paper's website, and my new political cartoon is up. (GB, don't view it on Friday ;) ). I'm gonna type the address here but also try to make my name a link. Don't laugh. (at my attempt anyway- laugh at the toon all you want. It's kinda small, but dunno how to view it larger. Our site's kinda primitive.

Ugh, I get the feeling that we're so happily gearing up for nothing (er, war). Like one of my managers at work: Run around real fast all day and make everyone anxious and ultimately accomplish nothing, because it only appeared like something happened.

The news just said that the military is unveiling a new bomb. They named it MOAB (something about mother of all bombs). It sends a shock wave like the daisy bomb. The shock wave video looked kinda cool, but thing looks like a big orange nerf screamer football. And another thing: I kinda remember hearing somewhere that the Moabites in the Bible (the people from Moab, duh) are supposed to be the forefathers of the Arabs or something like that. If anyone knows what I'm talking about (cause I sure don't) please clarify. If I'm on target- talk about irony. If not, disregard.

Some dj's around here are hosting a Fattest person contest. It reminds me of when Fox actually aired that food eating contest. (We might as well scream -Bomb us, bomb us!)

Speaking of chick flicks.

Josh:<<Well, they ARE boring and stupid, but girls like them because of all the mushy-feely garbage that fills them>> Well sometimes they can be "educational" and you may get lucky enough to have a "shopping at Victoria Secrets" scene. :p I think some guy has already written a book called, "Everything I know about women I learned from watching chick flicks"

Gside -- No actually I saw the link to it myself on http://www.ozyandmillie.org/ which is one of the online comics that I read.

Bud-Claire -- I normally wouldnt reply to a josh comment, but since you added to it I will say that the really valid point in the article was that since joe popular spends 95%+ of his time in school working on popularity while Mr brain spends 65% of his time on learning and 35% of his time on popularity, it is almost certain that Mr Brain wouldnt do as well popularity-wise. In essence so long as the average person puts school as secondary to popularity and the nerds don't, the nerds will be nerds.

Really I think the nerds should be separated from the main body of the public schools -- Having experienced a LOT of agony myself when I was in school (although we did have one thing that helped in high school -- we had "the math-science team" and they tried to keep us together for the most part where possible(and had activities just for our group etc) in the hopes that we would at least form a social body of our own). Where they went wrong was not going far enough -- gym and homeroom were both general population(sounds like a prison doesnt it) and those were bad. Considering how bad the average person in our group was at gym, gym together would have been a better remedial experience also(I can remember being off both the high honor roll and honor roll because I got A's in all of the academic subjects and a C in gym despite the fact that I tried my hardest and the other kids didnt).

> THE BUNNY AND THE SNAKE

> Once upon a time (allegedly) in a nice little forest, there lived an orphaned bunny and an orphaned snake. By a surprising coincidence, both were blind from birth.

> One day, the bunny was hopping through the forest, and the snake was slithering through the forest, when the bunny tripped over the snake and fell down. This, of course, knocked the snake about quite a bit.
>
> "Oh, my," said the bunny, "I'm terribly sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I've been blind since birth, so, I can't see where I'm going. In fact, since I'm also an orphan, I don't even know what I am."
>
> "It's quite OK," replied the snake. "Actually, my story is much the same as yours. I, too, have been blind since birth, and also never knew my>mother. Tell you what, maybe I could slither all over you, and work out what you are, so at least you'll have that going for you."
>
> "Oh, that would be wonderful" replied the bunny. So the snake slithered all over the bunny, and said, "Well, you're covered with soft fur; you have really long ears; your nose twitches; and you have a soft cottony tail. I'd say that you must be a bunny rabbit."
>
> "Oh, thank you! Thank you," cried the bunny, in obvious
excitement. The bunny suggested to the snake, "Maybe I could feel you all over with my>paw, and help you the same way that you've helped me."

Bud-Clare> You're right. A war is extreme, even though if a certain liberal President's daddy went above and beyond the UN plan to free Kuwait, Clinton would probably have to carpetbomb another capitol in 98.

Personally, I'd arrange for an accident to befall before first proposing an end to the feud. Then I would have someone like Aziz or another toady help betray him and wipe out the whole family. Then I would have to take out Jeb when he tries to betray me to Hyman Lieberman...oops, wrong movie :)

On the cool side, he was in Nam, with the same job as Joker in Full Metal Jacket, but not as funny, plsu I doubt he called his Drill Sgt John Wayne.

<<Berkeley I don't mind. But my high school is a private institution whose clientele consists of some of the wealthiest families in Los Angeles.

I have fond memories of high school so I have no problem donating to my HS. Also, I know it goes to a good cause and they are not able to subsist on tuition alone.

<<!@#$ing hippies.>> If only they were, then maybe they'd sleep with you for peace, except I prefer women with shaved armpits that you use soap as oppsoed to cheap perfume.

<<A history prof here actually let people out of their midterm to attend a war protest rally.>> That should end tenure...complete violation of duty.
<<That would be hysterical.>> I'd support it if it was good for America, but he's too Internationalist.

<<How about we just host the damn thing and let them park wherever they want?>> I wish we did that. After all, considering how much Manhattan property they are using, I bet the rent would exceed our annual dues.

<<And they'll do it here. Fortunately, I'll still be on the far side of campus.>> Time to call in the National Guard. They can keep the demonstrators in line :)

Smeghead! <<Would Maggie be with Talon if they hadn't mutated? I think not, thus that was the message of the fic>> That�s the point, it was a wonderful succession of fate that conspired to have them meet, and start up a rich, fulfilling romance, and I felt as if your story took that away. If voicing an opinion about the content is called criticism, then I apologize, but I really did nothing to put your story down in any technical sense. <<That's fair enough.>> I hoped you would take it as such.

Leo: <<Shouldn't there be quotes around Angela as well?>> But I actually DID kill Angela, at least the one indigenous to this universe. <<And are you planning to get back to Asrial? You left her nakid in an ally with a group of friendly �displaced� humans.>> Yeah, I know, patience, I have many characters to �get back to�. I�ll get to her eventually (and she wasn�t exactly naked, she was given a shawl). BTW, displaced, nice and politically correct. <<What if he had said Richard Harrison and Quinn Ramsey.>> Yeah, but compared to T and A, they�re boring (I did like them though as supporting characters). And I don�t think Josh would ever say that. And if he did, he�d lose the job as official B.A. editor/reviewer, though he�s pretty much behind in that task anyways.

Christine: <<Barracuda kicks ass...I used to think no one would ever outnumber me, but he left me in the dust long since. Drat all those distractions!>> Well thank you, but I�m not near you yet. If anything, I�m aiming for 100 regular fics, then I might think about quitting (unless, I end on a cliffhanger).

Gside: <<Any kind of sword is just a fancy pointed stick.>> Well, if I was given the choice, which in itself would be weird, I�d rather be stabbed by a small, slim sword with more chances of missing vital organs, than one of the massive curved Egyptian/Arabian sabers that pretty much guts you from neck to crotch (my apologies for the disturbing imagery, or the disturbing answer to begin with).

That's fairly old lingo, actually, so you must have been out of the loop for quite some time. Good for you.

<<At least one of those adjectives hold true for nearly everyone person in this CR.>>
*raises her hand* Oh! Me, me!

<<isn't the voodoo doll supposed to look like the person?>>
Hey, in a push-up bra, who knows what you look like.

<<Besides, its the butch women that say that men don't deserve women.>>
Which is clearly wrong. Men are stupid with their porn fixations and women are stupid with their shoe fixations, so clearly men and women deserve each other and every bit of the irritation that they inflict on each other.

<<Basically it blames nerds being unpopular on everything from the school system to the parents but never once considers that maybe the nerds create this unpopularity for themselves.>>
I think that you kind of missed the point. Besides, most likely it's a combination of all of those. (My school didn't even have proper nerds... The "nerdy" people were the ones with the bizarre civil war obsession, and none of them were especially smart. I was actually the least popular of the smart people, and I wasn't exactly at the bottom of the ladder. (Of course, I refused to go anywhere near the stupid ladder, but that's beside the point.))

The other characters are Eddie of Winslow for Calliope (Epics), Hawthorne for Melpomene (Tragedy), Norcumi's Megan for Clio (History), TGS's Asrial (who I beleive was created by Christi Smith Hayden) for Urania (Astrology)...Stormy's Luther for Polyhymnia instead of Mara Cordova's Rapture like I'd orginally planned...and I'm waiting to see what Fleur thinks about my using Ivory for Thalia, and The Barracuda about Rain for Euterpe, before I make a permanent decision on them.

I think I'm going to use Fleur's Ivory for Thalia, as suggested by Norcumi, and that frees me up to use one of my own ladies (Sigil) for Terpsichore. I had to consider appearance in this as well as the role, and I didn't want too many uber-human-looking gargoyles. or too many of a similar color, and I've got 5 that fall into the blue/green areas.

Hmmm, seems I've managed to annoy quite a few people in here in just 24 hours. Not bad. Other than a slightly revelation in my homework, I have nothing of even remote interest to say.

Bud-Clare: <>: No, you don't.
<<Fortunately, I thought better of it; I'm getting tired just thinking about it>>: Have you seen The Onion article where the National Science Foundation declares that "Science is Hard"?
<<Because they're boring and stupid? No, that can't be right>>: Well, they ARE boring and stupid, but girls like them because of all the mushy-feely garbage that fills them.
<<While I _can_ type in my sleep, it generally doesn't make any sense to anyone else>>: Is that like mumbling in your sleep? On second thought, if you sleep within arms reach of a keyboard, you might need help.
<<I'll ask. What was the first?>>: Jeez, didn't ANYONE watch Get Smart when they were a kid?!
<<yet most guys are obsessed with large breasts>>: Someone on slashdot recently said "You know that girl with the massive knockers you're drooling over? Well in 10 years they'll be hanging around her navel!" I think it was one of the most insightful things I've ever heard.
<<What _is_ a liquid lunch, anyway?>>: Slim-fast.
<>: I've found the first problem with your plan 8-)
<<Common problem of yours?>>: LOL.

Fire Storm: <<For those of you that are of the adult persuasion>>: People that like other adults? <<his brain is semi-external>>: OUCH!

Libby Rust: <<This is swanky>>: Is that good? I'm sorry, I'm not hip to the latest lingo.

Heather: <>: Okay...so then there was something in your work that wasn't as good as someone else's, therefore theirs was better and yours wasn't good enough to win. Where's the confusion?

Patrick: <>: You are absolutely right. But I think you and I aren't agreeing about which time we're talking about. Employers value my summer working time at about $30/hr. But right now I'm not working for them. So basically they're telling me that the time I've spent on my resume and finding their job site is so insignificant that its no trouble at all for me to re-enter all my information a second time into a form that says nothing above and beyond what's in my resume, a form which is somehow easier to read than my resume. That kind of treatment annoys me.
<<they're going to be a lot less likely to hire you>>: That's fine, and I understand that. I just don't appreciate being treated as insignificant. I would rather work my whole life at a company that treated me with respect at 2/3rd's the price than a company that treated me like dirt for a lot more. Dignity is just as important as money.

Mooncat: <<Not even a majority of slash or femslash is porn>>: You are absolutely right. I have no idea why I said what I did. My bad.
<<there are loads of Harry Potter slash, written by girls as young as 11 and 12. A major portion of the yaoi fans are 13 year old girls>>: I find this incredibly disturbing.
<<Part of a "Sliders"-esque series I want to work on>>: Interesting. I approve of the concept.

Spacebabie: <<you are coming of arrogant and you are pissing a lot of people off>>: And how is that different from normal?

Impfac: <<He is not arrogant, self-righteous, and a know-it-all type person>>: Oh spare me your pathetic attempts at insulting me. At least one of those adjectives hold true for nearly everyone person in this CR. I just happen to not be a flaming liberal.

Barracuda: <<it�s more like open nun, insert large curved Egyptian sword>>: Details, details.
<<Open Todd, insert stick>>: Poetic justice.

Warpmind: <<just got up from an hour-and-a-half nap>>: JEALOUS!

Kaioto: <<Josh is a caustic, cynical little pain in the butt who rarely takes anything or anyone in here seriously, including himself>>: How is that different from SJ? Not that I'm disagreeing with your assessment, though.
<<He's just trolling people for the sake of it>>: I am not!
<<it makes it look like you are complaining / trying to get attention / calling out the Staff>>: Which is exactly what she was doing.
<<At least make him work for the cheap-shots>>: If they did that, then they wouldn't be CHEAP shots!

Dejanira: <<which happens to be in Europe>>: Happens to be? Did it change from yesteryear? ;-)

Ravyn: <>: Good. That makes you much more valuable to men 8-)
<<maybe it's just me>>: I wholeheartedly agree.

Silverbolt: <<Would you rather I used a Barbie doll?>>: isn't the voodoo doll supposed to look like the person?
<<Or are you doing a very poor imitation of Guybrush Threepwood?>>: MAXWELL SMART!!!
<<It's true! I have crushes on girls>>: I, too, am a lesbian trapped in a man's body 8-)

Leo: <>: Nope, Silverbolt got what I meant. Besides, its the butch women that say that men don't deserve women.
<>: That's twisted.
<<one of two companies you mentioned that gas "Dubbya" in their pockets>>: I already interviewed with Exxon/Mobil.
<<isn't that IMPFAC's color, or is it Jan's?>>: Jan's color was lighter blue.

Silvadel: That article wasn't particularly insightful. Basically it blames nerds being unpopular on everything from the school system to the parents but never once considers that maybe the nerds create this unpopularity for themselves. There was a big debate on slashdot a few weeks ago about this article.

Christine: <>: How many are you at? 100 yet?

Gside: <>: The real things have breast curves too. Maybe if you attract enough breast curves, breasts will eventually be attached.
<<Silverbolt, let's go have lesbian sex>>: You too have fun.
<<A cardboard box under your desk?>>: Sure.
<<It's not my problem, it's Imzadi's>>: HAHAHAHA.

and with that, I'm off.

<<an army of Slaanesh (Chaos God of Forbidden Pleasures) Marines>>: Just what kind of projectiles do they fire? And may I assume their melee weapons are whips?
<>: Tolkien is always useful.

Oh, and to double check: SMJ, Excel, DarkS, Tri, LH, and LBG? I'm also now over 30 episodes into One Piece.

Silverbolt> <<Or are you doing a very poor imitation of Guybrush Threepwood?>>: No, doing a poor imitation of Guybrush requires a body of water and a cessation of life.

Lynati> <<Thalia- the muse of comedy>>: Don't forget the pastoral poetry, so you could just take someone rural for the role.
<<Terpsichore-the muse of dance>>: Godiva, perhaps? Or have you already used her for Polyhymnia?

<<<<If Christine Morgan is the Queen then the Barracuda is the King>>: Uh, no. Tim would be the king, by default.>>

Nope, not so. He'd be the Prince Consort, or something like that. At least if I had anything to say about it, which I would ;)

Barracuda kicks ass ... I used to think no one would ever outnumber me, but he left me in the dust long since. Drat all those distractions!

Not touching the slash debate, personally. But, having just finished a plushophilia fetish tale for Lit, who'd I be to talk anyway? <eg>

Silverbolt:<<*sob* It's true! I have crushes on girls, I just can't understand it, I try to resist it but I just find I'm more attracted to the OPPOSITE SEX!>>I think when Josh said you were a lesbian, he was implying that you were a "submissive" woman trapped in a man's body, and therfore are attracted to "butch" women i.e. a man trapped in a woman's body. (that's one way of looking at it)

Mooncat:<<Right now there are loads of Harry Potter slash, written by girls as young as 11 and 12. A major portion of the yaoi fans are 13 year old girls.>> well, typically half the females at that age are hormonally messed up. "Way back" when I was in middleschool "New Kids on the Block" (Which was the popular "boy band" in 1989/90) performed in our city. I would hear these 12 and 13 year old girls sceream "Ohhhhhh I want to have Mike's children!!" ***retch***

Liby Rust:>I've seen you in the MGC forum. :-)

Fire Storm:<<Direct link NOT posted due to it IS a sex site... but the main page has interesting news and f@#$ed up stuff.>> That site goes too far beyond the bounds of good taste. Next time, just download the pics in question and post them on your own site. YUCK!!! I think that section of human scalp looks suspiciously like latex. I say again.. YUCK!!!!

Josh:<<Only engineers hear the words "hydrogen-powered" and don't think of that frikkin' blimp>> Hydrogen-powered!? Oh the Humanity!! :-p <<Looks like I have an interview with Shell Oil coming up>>one of two companies you mentioned that gas "Dubbya" in their pockets. wait did I type "gas", I meant "has" :p << It means silverbolt is a lesbian.

Speaking of Art and Fanficition...

I'm working on a project that combines both; I'm doing art of gargs fanfic characters cast as the nine muses of Greek mythology. I'm having difficulty finding someone who fits the roles of Thalia- the muse of comedy, and Terpsichore-the muse of dance. If anyone out there can think of a character- an original, female gargoyle character, be it yours or from a fic you've read- who fits each of these roles, I'd appreciate the help. I'd rather find characters who fit these roles- someone especially funny, and someone who is a dancer, or characters who otherwise feel right- than just choose arbitrarily.

and as an extra plea, I should point out I'm doing these in clay, so there is a chance for your character to be immortalized as a sculpture. You'd like that, wouldn't you? *big anime pleading eyes*

feel free to email suggestions to me directly if you're uncomfortable about posting them here.

But at least it's usually below 100 degrees. ;)>> Dang! I don't know if I'll *ever* get used to humidity after living here all my life ... ;) Just being back in Michigan with Coyote, there were a few days where it was a teensy bit overwhelming, with just the humidity ... give me 120 degree summers of dry heat, and I'm fine, but add humidity, and I'm toast! ;) Eh ...

Hello again.

Well, I've been on the yahoogroups mailing list for gargoyles for a while but only now have actually opened my mouth ^_^. I live in Lithuania, which happens to be in Europe.

Thank you for quick reply. So, it is Demona after all. I've seen Gargoyles on Cartoon Network but cannot say more. Then it was RTL-2 but my German is Out Of Order so I didn't follow the series thoroughly.

Now I have to decide what to do with the fanfic...Demona or Coldstone to leave in the episode....Hrrrr....The more answers-the more questions. Life is unfair,remember it ^_^.

Spacebabie: Nah, Josh isn't SJ. You've just been spoiled due to lack of exposure to the real thing.

Josh is a caustic, cynical little pain in the butt who rarely takes anything or anyone in here seriously, including himself.

Far and away, there are more arrogant people in this comment room, take myself for example. :)

As for pissing people off, people need to get used to being pissed off. People can be completely civil and functional and still piss me off just due to heated disagreements. Further, no one ever said that "civil" and "nice" need to go hand-in hand. I'm a little tired of seeing the PC / sensitivity police pop up everywhere I read.

Slash Fic - Neither of you should be having a _serious_ discussion on the subject in a comment room with this rating level. He's just trolling people for the sake of it. Ignore him.

Regarding Heather's application to the TGS Art Staff -

Josh didn't have to be so cold, certainly.

However, Heather shouldn't have made her "Why did I get rejected?" post in the Comment Room either. If you want a serious answer to a question like that, it is a private matter between you and the staff. You should ask the question via private email.

When you do something like that in a public forum rather than email, it makes it look like you are complaining / trying to get attention / calling out the Staff - which is surely not what it was intended as. Doing it in a public forum just begs for trouble.

I'm not saying Josh isn't being a jerk, however. I'm rather pointing out that people are making it _way_ too easy for him. At least make him work for the cheap-shots. ;-)

In other news, PETA and the Anti-Defamation League are at each other's throats over PETA's "The Holocaust on Your Plate" campaign. The bunny-hugging lobby just stepped on a major land-mine in their eagerness to convert the world.

I await PETA's groveling apologies with the morbid fascination I usually reserve for the rare moments when the Federal Supreme Court pulls its head out of its butt and smacks around a lower court for forgetting that it isn't a legislative body.

Okay, just got up from an hour-and-a-half nap... If dreaming is the brain processing and filing the events of the day, would someone mind explaining when, exactly, I ran through an attic chased by Nazis and got dragged mistakenly into a live Vampire: The Masquerade game? :S

Anyway, replies.

Niamhgold: My miniatures are Warhammer 40,000 minis. I play the craziest army around: Orks. My conversions have been hailed at my local gaming store as remarkably and insanely Orky. And I've got the whole place trembling and fearing the day when I start assembling an army of Slaanesh (Chaos God of Forbidden Pleasures) Marines. };)

Gside: Whoohoo! And no, I don't have the whole mithril catalogue. And frankly, I doubt the mithril catalogue will be all that useful in the dark, grisly galaxy of W40K... Now, blood and mud, on the other hand... ;) And yes, I've got a nice, little pointed brush - came with the kit.

Josh: Developed a life? Damn straight I haven't. However, the fact that I'm working various body parts off in the production wing of a small advertising company *probably* has some relevance. And my gaming, of course. As for me sucking harder, well, you don't have any basis for that assumption, do you? ;) And neither does she... :(

And that's pretty much it for now. Yay me! Two posts in the same week, and it's only, uh... *Checks calendar* Tuesday yet! :)

Hello ^_^.

I have some particular matter to discuss with you ^_^
You see, I am some sort of a writer and currently my
biggest worry is to finish one fic, a crossover with
Gargoyles. I have done some research and am in a
desperate situation. Maybe you will be able to help?

The thing is, in �Reawakening� there�s a scene I am to
refer to in my fic. Namely:

Goliath: I lived for my clan.
Coldstone: and they died for you.

The thing is, in some other fansubs it is actually
Demona saying it and in audio wave I have downloaded
it indeed is Demona�s voice? So what is it really:
Demona or Coldstone?

Josh: [Bullsh*t. Its porn.] -- Not even a majority of slash or femslash is porn, anymore than any straight fic is porn. Fanfiction.net closed off all it's adult fiction, straight, slash, or what have you... but there is still a huge and growing number of slash fic on the site.

As I said, girls who like slash do so because it revs up their romantic *and* their girl lust to see the guys together, not just in *sex* but in *relationships* Some fics you don't go beyond kisses or cuddling, but it's still slash if it's two guys in love with each other. Right now there are loads of Harry Potter slash, written by girls as young as 11 and 12. A major portion of the yaoi fans are 13 year old girls.

When Silverbolt said all straight and slash stuff except rape is romantic, I think he probably meant romance in that it's two people involved with each other in a romantic and/or sexual way. His definition, if it isn't rape, then you got two people together and involved with each other in a romance. Or as others sometimes term it, relation-shippy, or shippy for short. Meaning both relationship and worship of a particular couple. People who like Pokemon's Jesse and James as a couple go nuts over things that are Team Rocket-shippy. If you are a fan of Buffy and Spike (which people were long before it became canon) you were a Buffy/Spike-shipper. The same goes slash couple pairings, you have Harry/Draco-shippers, or Harry/Ron-shippers, and there's the het favorite Hermione/Harry --- which is not about sex as much as **relationship** in a romantic type way.

m'self... I'm a Demona/Macbeth-shipper, with a touch of Demona/Brooklyn, but also a Demona/Elisa-shipper... actually I'm a Demona shipper and can see her in any number of possible romances *^_^*, but Macbeth or Elisa are my faves. I'm also a Fox-shipper, and love Fox/Xanatos, and Fox/others. I have an AU Fox/Goliath story that I've had on the back burner for a long time... or rather it's main universe Fox getting stranded in a AU where Rome never fell and the gladatorial games are the world's favorite sporting past time, and the current Gladiator champion is the gargoyle called Goliath. Part of a "Sliders"-esque series I want to work on.

I watched the "Monster Garage" marathon last night on Discovery Channel. Cool show. Who knew you could build a working fire engine into a Cadillac stretch limo for under $3000? I also learned what a "nut shaker" is. (No, it's not what the kiddies at Neverland affectionately call Jacko... it's a harvesting machine that grabs a tree by the trunk and shakes all the fruit off.)

Josh > As an unemployed engineer searching for his first post-degree job, I think you are overestimating the value of your time. The way most potential employers look at it, if it's not "worth your time" to fill out the formal application, they're going to be a lot less likely to hire you and invest the time in discovering whether following any of their other internal procedures is "worth your time" too.

Looks like I have an interview with Shell Oil coming up, but I'm not sure when. I'm already annoyed with them, though. They have my resume. So why do they need me to fill out an application form that includes ALL the information that's on my resume, then upload it to their site (they couldn't be troubled to set up a form), and THEN upload my resume also!

I have serious issues with companies that treat potential employees like that. Even GE wasn't that bad. Exxon/Mobil pulled a similar stunt, and I yelled at them. This could be why I didn't get a job offer from them, so this time I'm waiting till after I'm turned down to yell at them 8-)

My time is not worthless. Anyone who thinks so is making a terrible mistake.

Silverbolt: <>: Ah. Just clarifying.
<<I'm not whining if that's what you're implying>>: She was and you were.
<<Holds up Jiggerlypuff with the name 'Josh' on it>>: Its not enough to make a voodoo of me, but you have to make it a pokemon too?!

<<you've lost respect for me as a writer>>: You're a writer?

<<to a gargoyle, it'd be like ripping off your arm>>: No, I meant the character that loses something is an extra ;-)
<<What the hell is that supposed to mean?>>: It means silverbolt is a lesbian.
<<Is it supposed to be sexy when someone rapes another?>>: Some twisted f*ck's find it erotic.

Heather: <<What was wrong with my skills? *is worried*>>: Its very simple, dear: YOU WEREN'T GOOD ENOUGH. You may be very good, but if they were looking for only one person and someone else's was better, then they'd win the job. Or maybe they just didn't like your style. Art is totally subjective.

Spacebabie: <<If Christine Morgan is the Queen then the Barracuda is the King>>: Uh, no. Tim would be the king, by default.
<>: Or at least you think you do. Girls with massive breasts rarely look good topless.
<<Ha! I knew it>>: But I do THAT in my bedroom ;-)

Mooncat: <<the hotness of the guys that get their romantic feelings>>: Bullsh*t. Its porn.

Gside: <<Where do you keep them all?>>: Here and there.
<<And hallucinations>>: Wherever.
<<It doesn't matter to me as long as it doesn't fall down>>: Oops.
<<Sometimes twice>>: Okay good.

140. I will instruct my guards when checking a cell that appears empty to look for the chamber pot. If the chamber pot is still there, then the prisoner has escaped and they may enter and search for clues. If the chamber pot is not there, then either the prisoner is perched above the lintel waiting to strike them with it or else he decided to take it as a souvenir (in which case he is obviously deeply disturbed and poses no threat). Either way, there's no point in entering.

Silverbolt, don't take Barracuda's crit too much to heart, as he admits, he has a bias against femslash. I like all your stories, and don't consider the femslash as any less "real" than the rest of the fiction.

Barracuda, if you don't like alternative pairings, you might want to skip all slash or femslash, because that pretty much someone is going to be romantically or sexually involved with someone you would consider alternative.

Josh - many of the reasons a girl likes a 'chick flick' movie is the same for why they like slash or yaoi fiction... besides the hotness of the guys that get their romantic feelings and girl lust going, the story implications of getting two guys together are often fraught with all the ame intense emotional stuff that makes a good 'chick flick' movie soar. This is a parallel, not an exact equivalent, but if you get 'chick flicks' apply that to slash and you may get the idea.

Silverbolt: <<Blame spacebabie for that fic!>> If there's anyone to 'blame' for a fic, it would the author who wrote it. <<And I gather you must have read it if you think I made Talon the bad guy!>> I skimmed through it towards the end, and saw Talon getting rejected, with the line 'Maggie didn't seem to care'. Funny, I thought they loved each other. I don't go for alternate pairings, especially when the guy gets the short end of the stick by two women, and a wonderful couple is destroyed. Call it a bias of mine. <<Also I could complain about some of your fics as well>> Yes, you could.

:::Chibi Squall and Chibi Zelgadis race in to protect Chibi Delilah:::

Man this is a very strong W(h)ine!

Not much happened recently. Enjoying a good dinner right now as I type this. Started to print my fic for class:

It involves Spam being deleted

A rant against FF net is included

And there is a scene where five of the characters are enjoying sushi. One girl places the green stuff on her tongue while one of the guys attempted to do the same thing.

Replies:
Barracuda<<<You may like to write it, but it doesn't mean a lot of us like to read it.>>>I have by far only written one Femslash story and participated in a femslash RR. Most of what I write is straight relationships.<<<having Talon made the bad guy>>>Talon was not the bad guy. I don�t think there even *was* a bad guy.

Gside<<<Could be fashionable.>>>I could just bleach it out.<<<Is it Jersey corn? >>>Nope not mutant corn.

Josh<<<This semester is really zipping right along>>>Zoom zoom<<<The writing is incredible>>>I have to agree. If Christine Morgan is the Queen then the Barracuda is the King.<<<Whose? >>>the person who can�t pick up the hint obviously.<<<HAHAHA did you demand a new set of whites?>>>I like blue�Demona is light blue�besides I could always bleach them out.<<<You wouldn't make it>>>I look great topless<<>> In that case :::Kicks Josh in the butt:::<<<Usually, yes.>>>Ha! I knew it.

Silverbolt<<<I'm not whining if that's what you're implying!>>>I was not refering to you.<<<So THAT'S why I woke up with a headache this morning!>>>Mwa ha ha it works.<<<Ah don't worry yourself I didn't make one of Revel if that's what you're thinking>>>no but I�m buddies with the staff.<<<Blame spacebabie for that fic>>> Hey that stemmed from a question I have been wondering about gargoyles for a while now.

Silverbolt: <<So... you've lost respect for me as a writer>> That's different. I'd rather you write your real series than delve into the world of femslash, it was good and showed great promise. I don't need to see Delilah doing Maggie and having Talon made the bad guy. <<Men don't deserve women>> What the hell is that supposed to mean? <<all slash and straight stuff is romantic... except rape>> Not a lot of slash is romantic, there's a lot of sexual drivel. Pure rape stories, and their lure, baffle me. What's the point? Is it supposed to be sexy when someone rapes another?

The Question- There was no restriction on who could enter the recruitment. Finalist were determined by a vote system. And as an added step I only had the current art staff vote not the entire staff so as to avoid both playing favoites and out right rejection. The applicants were judged by their skill and that alone.

Stupid programming assignment. Finally started it and it was barely worth my time to do so. This semester is really zipping right along, its already the 7th week.

Warpmind: Welcome back.
<>: We can safely assume that you haven't developed a life in the meantime.
<<It might be the fact that True Faith and sunlight don't repel me>>: And you suck harder. ;-)

Sunshineangel: <<isnt he entitled to do that and he has changed his title?>>: I wasn't slighting Barracuda, you putz. I was mocking TGS. Even he was able to figure it out.

By the way, folks, if you aren't familiar with The Barracuda's universe, I STRONGLY suggest it. The writing is incredible and the frequency is 2-3 times what TGS could ever do 8-)

Niamhgold: <<especially in the Los Angeles area>>: Does that mean you've found a job out there?
<<all of the places I want to live during the next school year are on 12 month leases, and so I'd have to suck up that *and* another rent if I were elsewhere this summer>>: I almost feel bad for you, but I've been paying summer rent here for 3 years 8-)
<>: I want the job.
<<I'm going to steal your organs>>: Fine by me, I've got three spleens.
<<Does he also put out...more?>>: Wouldn't know.
<<YOu should wait until the mail room has bigger boxes>>: They can deliver to my door now.
<<mini stargate>>: Sweet!
<<Ahem...no comment>>: Exactly.
<<what should I call you?>>: Just don't call him your tall drink of texas beef. I might have to puke.
<<sometimes he's got Imzadi>>: Only in his dreams.
<<if some of the guys *here* who are ugly, dirty, *and* stupid can get some women>>: I am NOT dirty!
<<he looks like an unkempt Jesus>>; Yeah but art chicks probably think that's cute or some dumb sh*t.

To the people who didn't get picked for TGS: better luck next time.

Silverbolt: <<sticks a pin in the Josh doll just for fun>>: What did I do? Aside from being myself, that is ;-)

Ravyn: <<*LOL* Yeah ...>>: Hey, I can dream, can't I?
<<best of luck with grad school!>>: Thanks!
<<*LOL*>>: You laugh because its true.
<<show pictures of the Hindenburg as if the two are somehow the exact same design, and the engineers that are designing this car haven't considered it yet>>: The media is a group of idiots. Only engineers hear the words "hydrogen-powered" and don't think of that frikkin' blimp.
<<they've even tried shooting it with guns>>: I hope they stood far away.
<<mechanical engineering senior design project>>: You have senior design projects?

Patrick: I'd be happy to show you my chat logs with the TGS head of Edits. Just because you've never seen my stuff doesn't mean it doesn't exist (or, more importantly, that it isn't good). As usual, you've turned what I said into a gross exaggeration that I didn't even imply.

Spacebabie: <>: Whose?
<<everything came out a light shade of blue>>: HAHAHA did you demand a new set of whites?
<<Too bad I don�t work there>>: You wouldn't make it.
<<Or getting a job?>>: That too.
<>: I did.
<>: Usually, yes.
<<There are Engineers?>>: No, all that cool technology just builds itself.

Barracuda: Why aren't you on AIM anymore?
<< you're going to get me in trouble with TGS>>: I doubt it.
<<if trying to justify spending $800.00 bucks on TNG DVDs was enough, now there's DS9>>: they're cheaper at Costco. DS9 will only cost $600+ tax ;-)
<>: Usually they're an extra, though.
<<made Demona go insane>>: She was insane long before Beginning Anew.

Mooncat: <<they might understand it's a something a lot of straight girls like, the way they like unicorns and chick flicks and bishojo anime>>: No, I've got a pretty firm grasp on why girls like chick flicks.

Gside: <<I've never gotten anything from anyone in this room>>: Herpes?
<<I'd say I'd work on the systems, while you work on infrastructure>>: Support structure, actually ;-)
<<Such an event, presented in a serious matter, would require bending of many physical laws>>: And a total reality inversion.
<<You've never seen me below my nose>>: LOL is that the typical picture cutoff point?
<<it doesn't really help in the acquirement stage>>: You'd think it would.

Bud-Clare: <<Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is going to need a _long_ intermission>>: I've heard that the 3rd book will take 2 movies, so I can only hope that the 4th takes 3! 8-)
<<the actual typing part just seems too tiring>>: What kind of geek are you!?
<>: Its a better reason than ragging on each other.
<>: Is that the guy that went around and insulted everyone once?
<>: So picky!
<<They actually do that?>>: People are ignorant.

139. If I'm sitting in my camp, hear a twig snap, start to investigate, then encounter a small woodland creature, I will send out some scouts anyway just to be on the safe side. (If they disappear into the foliage, I will not send out another patrol; I will break out the napalm.)

<<and normally Wilek, but methinks those two have drifted apart>>: I guess so. It's mostly my adherence to smut, but there's also a good bit of lack of use of outgoing email getting in the way.
<<So who's the lucky lady?>>: My right hand. Unfortunately, it's been distracted by media, and school work.
<<The pigs! The PIGS>>: Whole roast pigs on a spit, you're suggesting? Good idea.
<<But in Yaoi porn, nothing needs to make *sense*>>: Nor in lesbian, but at least we don't even bother with a plot.

<<ugly, dirty, *and* stupid>>: I've only got one over them, and it doesn't really help in the acquirement stage.

Leo> <<transferring old radio recordings of my grandfather's jazz band>>: You're doing it a bit on the quiet side, and you might want to pump the bit rate to 64 for a nice power of two, and to be at least half of standard. And I think I've heard it in an old Kay Kaiser movie. And why can't I find any mp3s of his stuff when Spike Jones is quite prolific? Probably because Dr. Dememto give him more exposure.

Spacebabie> <<everything came out a light shade of blue>>: Could be fashionable.
<<who could pass up country fair style grilled corn>>: Is it Jersey corn?
<<There are Engineers?>>: In the general sense. Those with the engineering nature in them.

:: cuddles the wolf pup ::

Silverbolt - Well, New Legends is more than glad to have you *^_^*, and now we get to monopolize you! bwah ha ha haaa!!! Later tonight I'll see if I can get your latest cartoons up in the GX comment room.

Mmm... weather is going to be 50s and up this week!!! YES!!! I'm dying to get out and get some exercise. I was all set to get a Genesis membership, but if we are actually past this cold weather snap I'll just run. I prefer to do that because the park is only a few minutes walk from my house, and I really love to get out there.

I'm bouncy with energy!!! Partly due to some new art supplies I'm expecting to be delivered this week *^_^* So I can get to work on a few pieces for the Gathering. I'll be doing sketches until my stuff gets here I guess.

Spacebabie/Josh/Barracuda --- Slash? Well, I'm not really into the guy/guy slash as a whole genre, but I adore certain pairings, like Owen/Xanatos are a catnip high, they make me purrr!!!! Girls like to read and write slash for a lot of the same reason guys like to see to girls make out with girls. But it's not exactly the same, because besides girls who like slash finding guys with guys sexy... they think it's romantic. Most straight guys will *not* get slash. But they might understand it's a something a lot of straight girls like, the way they like unicorns and chick flicks and bishojo anime... Or the way some guys like mecha and building model ships and 'guy' stuff... it's a personal taste thing.

Josh: <> Dude, you're going to get me in trouble with TGS. But I thank you. <<My roommate bought the first season of DS9 today at Costco, so we were watching that for most of the day. Its amazing how much the acting progressed for all the characters, and how bad the overacting was in the beginning.>>
God, if trying to justify spending $800.00 bucks on TNG DVDs was enough, now there's DS9 (Fortunately, I've yet to spend a penny, they're all on syndication more than enough). It's always neat to see how series progress from start to finish. The acting was wooden, but I never saw half the actors as having any actual acting talent in the first place. But I still enjoyed it, and they did improve a little.

Sunshineangel: <<But isnt he entitled to do that and he has changed his title? You have to admit, he is, at least, creative and entertaining. Ripping off Goliath's wings takes balls in this place. (Can I say that? That's PG13 right? okay)>> Thank you, I do try to rip someone's appendages off at least once a season. And yes, I believe in this comment room, you're allowed to say balls, whatever meaning is attached. I've seen worse in my lurking days.

Fire Storm: <<Hell, I think that everyone should write at least one story that does it to their favorite character>> Well, I've done a lot to each character, I've impaled a nun, killed Angela and 'killed' Asrial, killed Maria Chavez's baby, made Delilah unable to procreate, made Fox sick and dying, etc, etc, etc, and, of course, made Demona go insane (that's been done a lot though, but I thought I'd give it a shot). It doesn't neccessarily have to be physical mutilation, psychological damage will do just fine.

Josh> << The offer I'm waiting for is $80k/year to take me away from grad school ;-) But this will do in the meantime.>> *LOL* Yeah ... :) Congrats again on the letter from Berkeley, and best of luck with grad school! :) <<<<Never heard of a male submissive in a heterosxual relationship before>>: Just about every relationship in this CR is that way>> *LOL*! :)

GB> <<Then the dippy protestors will be shouting "NO Blood for Hydrogen" or they'll find soemthing else to whine about.>> Exactly! They'll always find something to complain about. And I love all the news shows that mention the hydrogen fuel cell car, and then show pictures of the Hindenburg as if the two are somehow the exact same design, and the engineers that are designing this car haven't considered it yet. ;) In fact, I've heard from the guys already working on this project that the fuel cell itself is *really* really hard to get to explode, even in a really bad accident ... they've even tried shooting it with guns, and they still don't explode. :)

Bud-Clare> <<Don't be here in the winter. :)>> Thanks ... I'll definitely keep that in mind! I was looking at the Weather Channel the other day, and saw some temps and snowfall numbers for Rochester ... yikes!!!! Being from Arizona, it's even *more* of a complete shock to me ... ;) What are the summers like? Is there lots of humidity? I'm used to my nice dry, desert heat, so ... humidity might take some getting used to ... ;)

In other news, I've discovered that Rochester is about equal driving times away from West Point, NY and Algonac, MI. That means hopefully I can take a few weekends here and there this summer and drop by to see my brother at West Point, and a certain special somebody in Michigan! **snuggles with Coyote** :)

Well, have a great week, and I'll talk to y'all later! Hopefully I'll be able to drop by now and then sometimes. :) My silly mechanical engineering senior design project is keeping me pretty darn busy, though ... ;)

On the subject of TGS characters,

While transferring old radio recordings of my grandfather's jazz band, I ran accross a song that reminded me of one of the bit characters from TGS Dark Ages. Reynard the Fox. And it fits him in so many ways. The main one being that i'ts so annoying you probably will not be able to finish listening to it.

Click the link to hear "The Earls of Sweet Swing"'s tribute to "Reynard the Fox" recorded in 1940. :-)

Warning: may cause unusual behavior in house pets. :-)

Well, I just got the results of the TGS recruitment drive...

I didn't get picked.

It's okay, though. There is always next time, either that or they didn't like that I made up so many little characters in my Side 7 art archive.
Either that or I don't have much experience in background making or the faces are all wrong or something...

** Niamhgold enters **

Well, all my roomies have cleared out for break, and I head home tomorrow. I'm actually looking forward to going home, since my mom and I will be able to get a good look at a bunch of the housing options I'm looking at for the summer. There are a couple that sound great, especially in the Los Angeles area, and I'm going to ask some friends from MICA if they'd like in on some of the larger places (since the 3D guys are all applying for Rhythm/Hues internships, etc). I'm just a tad nervous since all of the places I want to live during the next school year are on 12 month leases, and so I'd have to suck up that *and* another rent if I were elsewhere this summer. Grrrrr.

We had a "suspicious package/van in front of building" scare yesterday when I was in the labs, and we had to evacuate. I'd only had *two* minutes left of a three-hour render when that happened, and the b@st@rds cut the power :( Of course, it was just a scare, and it was some guy with art supplies in the back of his van. Duh.

Other news-tidbits: Sent out several apps, including one for Film Roman (the woman there is very nice), one for the Nat'l Academy of TV Arts/Sciences (think Emmys), one for LucasArts, one for ILM, and several for smaller places. Why do I feel like I have a bat's chance in...Detroit? ;) I'm helping host a Firaxis games recruiting event, too, so that should be fun.

And the snow's finally melting. Wheeeee!

Replies to the best of my ability:

Imzadi: <Unfortunately, there were any hardware engineers there so I basically wasted the day. I was rather bitter about it, actually> I can't believe you're so patient with that company ;) <Doom dee doom doom doom...> I'm going to steal your organs! <Its not my fault he puts out more stories> Does he also put out...more? <What, nothing for me?!> YOu should wait until the mail room has bigger boxes. <No one wants to give up LA.> And if they did, they'd probably just go to the future, floating realm of Pot-Francisco. <!@#$ing hippies> I like how every time MICA students tried to protest this year, the sky has dumped twenty inches of snow/freezing rain atop them ;) <A history prof here actually let people out of their midterm to attend a war protest rally> Our profs *lead* the rallies.

Warpmind: <I've finally got the equipment to do (specifically, painting my miniatures)> Cool! What kind of miniatures? I just got done making a couple of 3D prints (mini stargate, mini gumball machine), and they're setting in superglue :)

GB: <but in any even the Air Force has the nicest accomadations out of the whole military> I agree. <We finally get to the hotel and get another briefing and then we rent our rooms, have our euros and dollars converted into lev (Bulgaria's currency).> Better or worse than Canadian conversion? Ahem...no comment ;) <a Scottish version of Bailey's> But more heterosexual for the male drinkers... <all the seats are reserved for Mafia so we are snet to the back> You should've told me. I'd get my family to give you a good seat ;) <Nah....once Germany replaces Schroeder with Merkle, they can get Eastern France, especially Alsace and Lorraine which they've earned for taking it from them in the Franco-Prussian War (the a#1 Iron Chancellor even took Emperor Louis Napoleon prisoner in that war and never released him). Ireland can get Brittany and England can have Normandy plus a few other sections fo Northern France, while Italy of course gets Nice :)> Multi-layer chess is fun :) BTW, if we've settled on milady, what should I call you? ;)

Bud-Clare: <Me, too, but you don't see me whining about it (much). Damned winter> I agree. You want to come with when I go to skin that damned groundhog? Him and his six-more-weeks-of-winter bs ;) <You're just jealous because you don't have a female...> Are you offering? ;) In any case, he's got plenty of hair, and sometimes he's got Imzadi (and normally Wilek, but methinks those two have drifted apart).

Dezi: <other news, my no-account, dumbass brother announced that Monday he is gonna go enlist in the air force> That's not such a bad place to be. Like GB said, it's one of the best areas of the force to be in. My cousin just finished his stint in the AF. Actually, it's a lucky thing for him that he's done, since he's newly wed, expecting a son (on my birthday, no less!), and just bought a nice house in San Rafael. Where are you thinking?

Gside: <There have been quite a few times I've been distracted or overworked> So who's the lucky lady? ;) <Or end of a crossbow, or pointy stick, depending on time period> The pigs! The PIGS! <But then I've already been over why multiple females makes more sense biologically than multiple males> But in Yaoi porn, nothing needs to make *sense* ;) BTW, did anyone catch Mad TV last night with the lesbian/Bambi sketch starring Brian Crandell? ;) <Sure I can if I'm insane enough. Which I am> State of Insanity. Population: MICA + 1. <That too, but I may still combat denials of the truth if I wish> You know, you're not that bad looking, and if some of the guys *here* who are ugly, dirty, *and* stupid can get some women, than you can easily score some choice babes ;) Look at Liz's boyfriend--he looks like an unkempt Jesus ;)

Jaden: <Well I'm out of the Army> Welcome back! You'll get used to the lesser productivity in good time...enjoy yourself :)

Adios :)

I REALLY admire people that are daring enough to mutilate and/or kill off cannon clan members in their fic.
Hell, I think that everyone should write at least one story that does it to their favorite character (Doesn't have to be a part of their main story line, just a single stand alone story)

*Warpmind lurches in, in what can best be defined as a dubious condition.*
Hallo, folks. Long time. I haven't got the foggiest WHY I've been away for so long, but I think I'm back now... (The fact that I've had pile upon pile upon pile of work to do, and a significant amount of gaming outside work may be directly connected to my lack of presence here...)

Anyway, I'm not here for long right now - got stuff to do that I've finally got the equipment to do (specifically, painting my miniatures), and some other stuff. Might need to chase out the dust bunnies under my couch, too. :/

Oh, and it's strange... The only person in the world who is actually afraid of me (for some unfathomable reason), spends most of her time playing Vampire: The Masquerade. I would appreciate an explanation as for how and why I'm scarier than bloodsucking undeads. �� Oh, wait, come to think of it... It might be the fact that True Faith and sunlight don't repel me... };)

Anyways, got work to do, so, later.

Doom dee doom doom doom...

My roommate bought the first season of DS9 today at Costco, so we were watching that for most of the day (and I still somehow managed to finished 75% of my finite element assignment). Its amazing how much the acting progressed for all the characters, and how bad the overacting was in the beginning.

I miss Odo doing some shapeshifting trick in every episode. It was cool.

Missed the top ten entirely. Good, that means I was busy being entertained.

SunshineAngel: <<You're so evil>>: Its not my fault he puts out more stories.

Niamhgold: <<Congratulations on scoring the Berkeley grad acceptance>>: Thank you.

Green Baron: <<blows $35 on strippers (due to the low prices here, that is actually a lot of money>>: If the strippers are hot, I'm moving in!
<<Heather, expect a box in a few days>>: What, nothing for me?!
<<though I may always need a converter>>: You get used to it. Or you go insane.
<<none of the Hollywood dipshits kept their word about leaving the US>>: No one wants to give up LA.
<>: I really hope you're right. Because a republican congress will probably push it right through.
<>: LOL he is quite wooden. Never struck me as an idiot, though (well, aside from being a democrat).
<<Why do we give them that and a permanent seat on the UN Security Council?>>: One word: NUKES.
<<Berkely can hit you up for donations>>: Berkeley I don't mind. But my high school is a private institution whose clientele consists of some of the wealthiest families in Los Angeles. They have no right to ask a graduate student for money.
<<I'm fine as long as I avoid demonstrations>>: !@#$ing hippies.
<<because it kept getting invaded>>: Ah, the old Mercy F*ck.
<<What's worse is when a Professor may use the classroom to impose their politcial views and are quite nasty about it>>: A history prof here actually let people out of their midterm to attend a war protest rally.
<<Clinton may try to be the next UN Secretary General>>: That would be hysterical.
<>: How about we just host the damn thing and let them park wherever they want?
<<This is what happens when you try to achieve a classless, egalitarian society>>: !@#$ing commies.
<<That proves nothing>>: Except that it'd be a lot of fun.
<<And you think nations have actual friendships with other nations? They have allainces and are made out of mutual benefit>>: Yes I've heard this quote.
<<you're proud of it>>: Yes I am.
<<the dippy protestors will be shouting "NO Blood for Hydrogen" or they'll find soemthing else to whine about>>: And they'll do it here. Fortunately, I'll still be on the far side of campus.
<<Ironically, America's Accounting standards are stricter than a lot of the world>>: That's because we have so many people trying to get away with stuff.
<<Never heard of a male submissive in a heterosxual relationship before>>: Just about every relationship in this CR is that way 8-)
<<Feel free to poke me with them>>: It really isn't that exciting.
<<You can stay in Berkely>>: You know, when you put it that way, it doesn't sound so great.
<<Ramstein>>: Du. Du hast. Du hast mich.

Bud-Clare: <<applying for jobs>>: Ooh fun!
<>: But you are ;-)
<<You're just jealous because you don't have a female>>: Maybe he's just annoyed by his behavior.
<<Prisoners were color-coded, based on their "crime.">>: Ah. Didn't know that.
<<Trucks take an awfully long time to stop>>: Cursed inertia!
<<Deep-space radar telemetry?>>: That would be cool, but I'd only be building the systems, not doing the analysis.
<<You'd know>>: Clever.
<<With strong stomachs>>: True, true.
<<According to whose definition of broad and enlightened?>>: By ANYONE'S standards, the rest of the world is more enlightened than the US ;-)
<>: You'll need a bigger hand.
<<I'd pay to see that>>: 1 ticket to Oakland coming right up!

Gside: <<Probably for the same reason lesbian porn is so good>>: That's different. Lesbian porn depicts an imagined but POSSIBLE sexual connection between two living beings (usually). Cross-universe slash fics are totally contrary to everything we know about characters from universes, just because some sick author decides it might be erotic.
<<You're better at the morally ambiguous actions>>: I prefer "depraved".

Well I'm out of the Army. And right now I have almost no purpose. I'm still in WA waiting for my trip to Hawaii and I'm going alittle stir-crazy.
Gside-Sequential Art? You want me to scare her to death with my EXTREMELY poor talent?

Dezi- So with all those guys around you're saying that we'll be in good company? ;)

I saw Gods and Generals today and my Lord, it had an intermission. Who knew? I've been to plays that had them but a movie? In this century? What a surprise.

Green Baron- No stop-loss here yet. I'm on terminal leave right now but with my luck I'll be called up as soon I get used to being out.

Yawn, tired.
Later.

Imzadi> <<WHY!?>>: Probably for the same reason lesbian porn is so good, but from a feminine perspective. But then I've already been over why multiple females makes more sense biologically than multiple males.
<<Can't miss what isn't there>>: Sure I can if I'm insane enough. Which I am.
<<Execute them>>: You're better at the morally ambiguous actions. I'll strap them in if you'll throw the switch.
<<The true unsung heros of the WORLD>>: Absolutely, but I was using the term more loosely.

Heather> <<for me to play a game (that and spend 50 dollars for it) it has to have a good story-line>>: Ah. The way things work around here, is it's mostly Nutter's stress relief game, so now that he's done most of it, he goes out and blows things up when he gets too angry. He managed a good couple minutes mostly on foot the other day with the army after him.

Green Baron> <<which of Ranma's women would you want?>>: I'm not really in it for the women. I spend most of my time rooting for Mousse to get some. I should probably go write some more.

Bud Clare> <<You're just jealous because you don't have a female>>: That too, but I may still combat denials of the truth if I wish.
