HH> You know the Sabre-Toothed Tiger view of stress?

*CSFB> fight or flight?

HH> Basically, when homo sapiens started, the biggest survival chellenge was not to get eaten...

HH> So evolution helps. When we sense danger our body releases adrenalin, shuts down stomach activity, voids the bowels if possible...

HH> Our minds realign to go over the situation again and again very quickly, weighing survival options...

HH> Which is great when figuring whether to run from a sabre-tooth.

HH> Fifteen minutes of peak frenetic activity can mean the difference there between eating or being eaten.

HH> However... that is the ONLY reaction our body STILL has to stress and threat situations.

HH> And it is very inapprorpiate for many of the complex situations of a modern world.

*CSFB> i wish i had a working appendix

HH> The problems don'd all get fixed in 15 minutes, and shitting on the floor isn't always the solution.

*CSFB> to be able to digest ANYTHING

*CSFB> evolution suxx0rz

*CSFB> and a prehensile tail

*CSFB> why did we lose these things

*CSFB> ?

HH> So we stay awake unable to sleep (nobody should sleep when tigers are attacking) and we go over problemsthat have no solution because that's the only way our minds work

HH> And we get ulcers because the stomach operation is supended and we go nits because our minds are racing at maximum revs for days on end

*CSFB> tails would be great in the computer age - you're supposed to keep both hands on the keyboard, but you also have to work the mouse

HH> Hence Sabre-Tooth Tigers are responsible for all modern mental health problems.

*CSFB> that, and my idiot president

*CSFB> feh

*CSFB> my resume, right now, is more impressive than anything he's ever done

HH> Yes, I discerned a national shift in approval against George jr.

*CSFB> bastard whore cocksucker

*CSFB> my fellow servicemembers - most of whom would STILL vote for George Sr. to this day - don't like him

HH> I suspect his future will depend not upon his political acumen but upon the ability of his staff to control the news media.

HH> They seem to be working a "George is inevitable, so get with the programme" campaign on the news services.

*CSFB> and even my Republican friends have said, ''if i wanted more govt. spending and federal control over states, i would have voted Democrat!"

*CSFB> voter turnout at the Democratic primaries is higher than it was when Clinton ousted Bush Sr. from office

HH> I don't see the Rebublicans reacting to Bush's failings very well though. They seem to have abandoned the centre altogether in an attempt to distinguish themselves.

*CSFB> and 51% of the voting public has described themselves as "angry"

*CSFB> vice the 40% or so that were "angry" when Clinton first took office

HH> From a long view over the Atlantic I don't see many politicans of stature coming forward right now.

*CSFB> Dean was too much of a blowhard

HH> I wonder if the "cult" of presidency is due for reconsideration, with a re=emphasis on the three parts of government.

*CSFB> Kerry, I agree with on most things, but he's so much an "old-school" Democrat, which has never been popular

HH> Kerry has some goods traits going for him, but he seems poor at communicating his doctrines.

*CSFB> the problem with the presidency is that it seems almost impossible for a president to improve things, but it's incredibly easy for a president to fuck things up

HH> Of the current crop, however, he may be the least weak - and that's the best I can say.

*CSFB> what is it with former vets not being able to make people realize how badass they actually are?

HH> Genuine presedential leadership does seem to be a thing of the past.

*CSFB> bob dole should have fucking trounced clinton by simply saying ''I LOST MY GODDAMN ARM FOR YOU PEOPLE!!!"

*CSFB> "Bob Dole: He's Only Got One Arm, For Christ's Sake."

HH> heh.

HH> But if that worked the spin doctors would be amputating right left and centre.

*CSFB> Kerry, similarly, was IN THE SHIT in motherfucking VIETNAM.

*CSFB> Bush can't say that.

*CSFB> hell, Bush was AWOL for about three months during his nat'l guard time

HH> Do most Americans value a military record in their politicians, then?

HH> I can't think the last time it was a factor over here.

*CSFB> but, oh, no, can't report that, because then the conservatives will accuse the media of being liberal

HH> Oh, yes. Wellington.

HH> Possibly Churchill.

*CSFB> it should be an issue if you're going to blast your oponnent about it, like the Republicans seem always to do

*CSFB> you're going to accuse the Democrats of being soft on defense? fine. let's see YOUR service record, fuco.

*CSFB> fucko.

HH> I suppose since defence of the people is the first duty of government it might indicate an ability to show some balls.

*CSFB> this is why Clark interested me, before he demonstrated a poor ability to address the camera

HH> That said, the scariest and hardest Prime minister on defence we've had since the second world war was Mrs Thatcher.

*CSFB> how do your dispute Wesley Clark's credentials?  HE WAS A FUCKING FOUR-STAR!

*CSFB> Maggie Thatcher was a man.  i'm convinced of it.

*CSFB> she had a dick under her dress

*CSFB> i have proof

HH> You attack him on his ability to see beyond the military picture, claim he can't distinguish the tactical from the strategic.

*CSFB> but your attacks lose credibility if you can't demonstrate that you've had any greater measure of success on your own as a soldier or a strategist

HH> She actually got away with stuff because she was a woman. There's a part of the British character that rallies under atypical female leadership. Boadecia, Elizabeth I, victoria...

HH> Shep.

*CSFB> Clark = 4-star general who was largely responsible for bringing Bosnian war criminals to justice

*CSFB> Bush = nat'l guard rich boy who's earned the enmity of the entire wotrld, and STILL hasn't found osama bin laden

HH> That's why i think all these stories about Captain america becoming President are unrealistic. He wouldn't last four weeks in the running.

*CSFB> advantage: clark

HH> Stark gets a huge poll from the female voter.

*CSFB> Tony, like Bruce Wayne, is a Clinton Democrat

*CSFB> Hawkeye probably voted for Perot

HH> I'd say so, but a lot of people seem to peg him as soft Republican.

*CSFB> heh ... "huge poll"

HH> I'm not up on current Superman continuity, but I can't see how they can logically wind up the president Luthor thing without Clark saying to the world, "okay, I'm Superman. Vote for me."

*CSFB> Kent, as good a guy as he is, does NOT have the resume for politics

*CSFB> actually, from the looks of things, superman continuity is about to be rebooted anyway

HH> he was managing editor of a magazine once, although he screwed it up.

*CSFB> as Clark Kent, i could see him running for local office, then building his way up

HH> Nor could he keep that ID secret under the massive media scrutiny a candidate gets.

*CSFB> Bruce Wayne, though, could easily do it on his own

HH> Wayne could win. I'm not sure that would be a good thing, but he could win.

HH> Heh. Selina Kyle would make a great First lady!

*CSFB> Catwoman has become interesting.  She's finally become the Yin to Wonder Woman's Yang, in the same way that Superman and Batman are to each other

*CSFB> she's now kind of the Robin Hood of Gotham

*CSFB> like the character whom she was ripped off of, Tarpe Mills' Miss Fury

HH> Really? I haven't read anything with her in it that is in continuity for the better part of a decade.

*CSFB> her new costume kicks ass, too

*CSFB> practical, but still sexy

HH> She's probably the most mainstream incarnation of the Bad Girl in comics

*CSFB> Diana/Selina = Virgin/Whore dichotomy

*CSFB> Clark/Bruce = Boy Scout/Rebel dichotomy

HH> Yes, they're the two aspects of Sophia

HH> In a sense Clark and Bruce represent the reactive and proactive elements of the hero archetype.

HH> One the defender, the other the explorer

*CSFB> in a few months, the 3 versions of Superman will evidently square off, and history will be forever changed

HH> Diana and Selina, for all their starring roles, remains something of the quest object or challenge to the hero's path.

*CSFB> so, look forward to that GODdamned love triangle coming back

HH> I don't really mind Clark and Lois' eternal romance. But I'd prefer the series not to be rebooted for all kinds of other reasons.

*CSFB> if DC would just swallow its pride and publish an ongoing out-of-continuity series of sex stories about Wonder Woman and Catwoman, they would subsidize the rest of their line in a single month

HH> I suspect it might however harm their licensing franchises and brand image.

*CSFB> it's not a romance - it's an idiotic setup that necessarily requires that both participants be dumber than plywood

HH> Nor do I think the market for comics porn is that significant, Penthouse Comix notwithstanding, as a proportion of market share.

*CSFB> why not?  hell, until their mismanagement of finances brought them down, Fantagraphics was apparently funding every other book they put out on the success of their Erox Comix line

HH> Fantagraphics had a much lower set of overheads than DC, and weren't making half their money from licensing their characters on kiddie lunchboxes.

*CSFB> it's a shame that more people don't appreciate R. Crumb enough for his works to be proftable on their own, but if buying Bondage Fairies means I can also get his stuff, i'm all for it!

HH> On Clark & Lois, their early ignorances are just a side-effect of the comics secret ID tradition

HH> As if in these days of DNA scans, computer imaging, profiling etc any superhro's ID would last more than 10 minutes.

*CSFB> it's flouting the capitalist tradition, though!  the enormous amounts of Wonder Woman/Catwoman sexfic on the internet clearly indicate that there is a demand!

*CSFB> it is criminal of DC not to meet this demand!

HH> Keep on campianing; but I think you will be disappointed.

*CSFB> superhero ids can last in a world where there are already a shitload of superheroes

HH> Either you have to accept secret IDs are possible, just as the laws of physics work differently and our heroes can regenerate teeth, or the whole Superman concept doesn't work at all.

*CSFB1> my guess is that the cops choose not to look too closely

HH> if you're Spider-man you're ID is toast. Someone's profiled your accent, your education, your height, your weight, your skin colour, blood samples, the works

*CSFB1> paul jenkins did a funny story about that

HH> And whether the cops do it or not, Kingpin can certainly afford it.

*CSFB> ... and concluded that Spider-Man was Jonah Jameson

HH> heh.

HH> Did you ever hear Busiek's pitch to write Spidey back before Byrne got the gig?

*CSFB> batman is bound to be much safer, though

*CSFB> no - spill details!

HH> This was just after the whole clone fiasco...

*CSFB> right ...

HH> Aunt May was dead, and Peter and MJ were split

*CSFB> ?  Peter and MJ were still together

*CSFB> Byrne broke them up

HH> I think there was something about a miscarriage?

*CSFB> well, him, Harras, Macchio and Mackie

*CSFB> miscarriage, yes.

HH> Anyway, this plan got them together again

HH> After the big finale fight with Carrion (?) at the end of the clone stuff, Parker's left nearly dead and naked (but victorious) in a nalley

*CSFB> okay

HH> Jameson finds him and basically takes him in. Jameson's own marriage is on the rocks, and Parker's about the only person that still has any kind of care for him at all

HH> Parker recovers under Jameson's care, and Jameson effectively becomes Peter's adoptive father for a while - a different side of Jonah

*CSFB> the odd couple?

*CSFB> interesting

HH> Yeah. And of course peter can't tell jonah about his ID. Jon ah still loathes Spidey, weven as he comes to think of peter as a substutute son

HH> So when john Jameson comes back, all man-Wolfy, there's friction.

HH> Good eveining.

*MangaCoolJason> I'm getting sick of snow.

*Visionary> Heya Natty

*Nats_> I have yet to finish the UT.

*Nats_> I shall, though.

HH> Thank you. I almost screwed it up by posting a draft version that missed out some key elements.

*Nats_> But I was out. And busy with all my Ambush Bug comics that came in the mail.

*Visionary> It changes format towards the end.  At least it did when I last read it.

HH> the snow is all gone here.

*Nats_> It's all snow, here.

*MangaCoolJason> Excuses, Nats?

HH> I believe you only had version 2.4 then. I think we're up to 3.2 now.

*Nats_> I'm very good at those.

*CSFB> i haven't been to the comics shop in weeks, but i hear that JMS is having MJ decide to make a bid to become a Broadway actress

*MangaCoolJason> How come I saw right through it, then?  :)

HH> So has JMS won you over, CSFB!?

*CSFB> which allows her to have a life, but still be in NYC

*CSFB> I'm still iffy on the saturation of magic and totems in the book

*CSFB> even a lot of JMS fans are starting to complain about that one

HH> I was pretty sure the peter-MJ-Doom issue would do it.

*CSFB> it's rather patently obvious that he wishes he were writing a Doctor Strange ongoing, too.

*Visionary> Dr. Doom was in a love triangle with Pete and MJ?

HH> Sarah tells me that Visionary and Mr Epitome wish to join the Lair Legion?

*Nats_> His rogues gallery is wonderful, but the man himself is losing steam.

*Visionary> Does she?

HH> Is this true, or is Sarah "bending" things again?

*CSFB> even if JMS had been a bit more subtle in the magic stuff

*Nats_> She also wanted a few others.

*Visionary> She didn't throw in the Librarian while she was at it?

*CSFB> be right back

HH> Yes. i have a list. but of the list these two posters are present.

*Nats_> JMS's second or so issue was the best Spidey issue I'd read in years.

*MangaCoolJason> ...

*Visionary> We discussed the yeas and nays about Vizh joining.

*killer_shrike> She was telling the truth, at least about Epitome.  I won't speak for Visionary

*Nats_> This is why you should've listened to my LL Europe idea.

*CSFB> i do like that Quesada is basically being held hostage by JMS, tho

*Nats_> "stunulators?"

HH> oh, the stunulators are well established, right back from International Incident.

*Visionary> Actually, I had to go make soup.

*CSFB> JMS said, "I was never told by anyone that MJ was to stay out of the book, so since I think she belongs with Peter, back she came."

HH> I'm surprised Shep didn't want them to join the LL too.

*Visionary> If a conclusion was reached, I wasn't in on it.

*CSFB> sarah wants everyone in the LL

*Nats_> I demand Dancer as leader, now.

*Nats_> If we don't get HH leading the team.

HH> So I gathered. Including the Hooded Hood.

*Nats_> I didn't know they were called stunulators.

*CSFB> she thinks it would be depressing.  i don't see why

HH> I think that HH leading the team may be a current sub-plot. But he won't be a member.

*Nats_> Well, once HH takes over the world, I think Amber will have a mess of times trying to get the LL back in good graces again.

HH> She has expressed her views forcefully and at length to me to explain why she feels it is a poor idea.

*Nats_> So much so that she'll end up agreeing to have Epitome on the team to "monitor" the others.

*Visionary> Well, when Roy left in a huff, I'm not surprised that the whole animation department fell apart.

*CSFB> and Disney killed the TRON movie sequel that was already in development because the Disney higher-ups were embarassed by the SUCCESS of the TRON 2.0 video game

HH> No. I won't be inbvesting in Disney stock any time soon.

*Nats_> What? No Tron sequel?

*Finky> I'd invest in Marvel stock before I'd touch Disney stock.

*Finky> I've yet to see Tron.  Should I consider this as something I should rectify in order to spite evil factions of Disney?

*MangaCoolJason> No.

*Visionary> It makes South Park's Moses that much funnier.

*CSFB> the reason ca[italism is fucked is because it still assumes that most people have enough good sense to do what's in their own best self-interests

*Finky> ...if Bush gets re-elected, I may finally blow up the planet.  That's all I'm saying.

*Visionary> It just sucks for the company.

*Finky> *spraypaints "Nats waz here!" on the recorderbot>

*CSFB> later, vizh

*killer_shrike> Yes sir

HH> And torment Shep for me if she gets here.

*Visionary> I'm sure they'll do their best.  Night Ian

HH> Could you wait until I've left to vabndalise the recorderbot?

*Visionary> It's more traditional that way.

HH is now known as HH_autorecorder

*CSFB> *wonders if the 'bot looks like Quislet from Legion of Super-Heroes*

*Finky> Vandalism can never wait.  I must act upon the calling of the Concept at its purest form, as dictated to me by my revolutionary brethren.

*Nats_> "Yon profuse bleeding is just my way of celebrating mine victory."

*Visionary> Gotta run...  catch you all later

*killer_shrike> Night

Visionary has left.(I closed Chat.class [ http://www.chatzone.de ])

*Finky> Later, Fake Man.

*Nats_> Bah.

*Nats_> *draws glasses on the 'bot*

*CSFB> shrike - do YOU watch the JL toon?

*killer_shrike> When I remember to.  Last couple I saw were good.

*CSFB> i'm trying to draw up some sort of consensus on the issue of Jon Stewart: cosmic pimp

*Finky> They turned Stewart into a pimp?  Really?

*CSFB> i think it's only a matter of time before he and his weel-traveled wang manage to conquer the animated DCU.

*killer_shrike> Hmm. Hawkgirl, Kama Tui, Saphire Starr... I can see it

*killer_shrike> I'm more concerned about Hawkgirl always being in some form of distress

*killer_shrike> Very Un PC

*CSFB> he's already hit skins with Katma, he's currently laying pipe to Hawkgirl, and Saphhire would have laid down for him in a second

*CSFB> she's no more a damsel in distress than the flash is

*CSFB> she's just more likely to take knocks because she's usually the first one to charge in

*CSFB> her personality is like the Hulk with wings

YourName7966 (~Applet@31B790B5C859E9.chatzone.de) has joined.

*killer_shrike> But they portray her as being weepy or wounded.

*Nats_> It's-a me.

*CSFB> weepy?  haven't seen that

*Finky> YourName, have you met Nats?

*CSFB> she's usually pissed off, if anything

*killer_shrike> The story with Dr. Destiny, or the one where Grundy dies

*Nats_> The cartoon is godawful, guys. Give it a rest. :)

*CSFB> she gets wounded, but that's usually an excuse for her to show what a tuff chick she is - "fuck you, john, i don't need your help!"

*killer_shrike> I think it's excellent.  Not as good as the original Batman adventures, but good

*CSFB> the cartoon is decent

YourName7966 has left.(I closed Chat.class [ http://www.chatzone.de ])

*Finky> The whole anime-esque art scared me away.

*CSFB> it could stand some improvement, but it's nice

*MangaCoolJason> I like Justice League

*MangaCoolJason> So there!

*killer_shrike> Except that Jon always seems to rescue her

*CSFB> i wish Amazo's visual hadn't been so boring

*killer_shrike> Haven't seen him or Eclipso yet.

*CSFB> i don't think that's intentional sexism, as much as it is A) showing that she is still one of the team and B) he has feelings for her

*CSFB> Eclipso was kewl

*Nats_> Eclipso was terribly boring.

*CSFB> n one episode, i think she actually said to him, look, you can't treat me like a china doll and worry about me, just because we're ... well, you know

*Nats_> I wish something would happen on the show other than "villain attacks, big fight, almost flashy powers!"

*MangaCoolJason> I saw that one, CSFB.

*CSFB> cease thy prattling, nonbeliever!

*MangaCoolJason> It was the episode where Grundy was killed.

*Nats_> I demand characterization and, well, a decent story that's worthy of a full hour.

*Nats_> Right now the show's scary-horrible.

*Finky> Yeah...that's why I haven't seen any good super-based animation since early Batman.

*killer_shrike> I think it does that. 

*Nats_> The old Batman cartoons told more story in half the time and were five times as good.

*CSFB> i think she's going to die, tho

*MangaCoolJason> Which show were you watching, Nats?  :)

*Nats_> A crappy one.

*MangaCoolJason> She won't die.  She's Dini's pet project.

*MangaCoolJason> He made a huge deal out of it when he added her to the cast

*killer_shrike> Hawkgirl?  I know a bunch of new heroes are coming aboard, which makes me wonder if the big guns are leaving

*CSFB> yeah, well, i demand a full hour-long show where Wonder Woman has TEH HAWT SEXXORZ!!!!!

*MangaCoolJason> That was the World War II episode.  :P

*CSFB> i could swear he said one of the female characters was dying

*MangaCoolJason> In your imagination perhaps.  :)

*CSFB> which makes me think that, season finale, we'll find out THE BIG SECRET about Thanagar, and she'll sacrifice herself, her character arc finally complete

*Finky> Kill Diana!  It'd be the first interesting thing she's done in 60 years.

*CSFB> like U-Go Girl in X-Statix

*CSFB> Diana is money in the bank

*CSFB> she IS the JL, just like Clark and Bruce

*killer_shrike> Everything Linda Carter did as Wonder Woman was interesting

*MangaCoolJason> I like how Batman saves everyone's asses in every show.

*CSFB> i saw her on vh1's "i love the '70s"

*Finky> I don't really remember the Carter WW.

*MangaCoolJason> I saw "I Love The 70's"

*Finky> But I didn't watch all that much television as a child.

*CSFB> lynda carter is older than my mom, and i would still make sweet love to her (lynda Carter, sickos).

*killer_shrike> Yes, she is still very easy on the eyes

*CSFB> she's well into her 50s, and aside from a little puffiness, she looks astonishing

*MangaCoolJason> Until she stabs them out with toothpicks!

*Finky> Though I thought the woman who played Batgirl in the 60's Batman show was lovely.

*CSFB> Catherine Zeta-Jones should be the new WW, and Lynda should be her mom, Hippolyta

*Nats_> You're more frightening than ever, Kirk.

*CSFB> yvone craig?

*CSFB> hi!

*MangaCoolJason> No French!

*killer_shrike> Hello

*Dancer> Aw bless you, you're all here!!! :-)

*MangaCoolJason> *is blessed*

*Finky> So we're all agreed Dancer's official outfit as leader of the LL is a cheerleading outfit, then?

*CSFB> julie newmar was hotter than yvone craig

*MangaCoolJason> I didn't agree do a damn thing!

*CSFB> yes

*Dancer> Even the ones we think should be shot

*Finky> I'm allegedly here.

*Dancer> Ian, tell them my views on cheerleaders

*CSFB> ian = not here

*MangaCoolJason> He's turned into a robot or something

*CSFB> ian = recorderbot

*CSFB> me = teh schlongmaster

*Dancer> So who IS HHautorecorder?

*MangaCoolJason> btw, I added that search-by-author and search-by-subject thing

*killer_shrike> Our current President was a cheerleader

*CSFB> it's a recorder

*Dancer> And why would you want control over all those schlongs?

*Nats_> That's the HH bot, recording and video taping all of this.

*Dancer> We're on candid camera?

*CSFB> no, my schlong is so powerful that IT is master of all

*MangaCoolJason> More like not-so-candid camera

*Finky> Ladies and gentlemen...my brain has just exploded, trying to wrap itself around the concept of Dubya in a short skirt.

*Dancer> That could explain Fingy, I guess.

*MangaCoolJason> Finky, don't make me find Bry and drag him in here!

*CSFB> ian and i had a delightful conversation about politics and the fucksticks who participate in it

*Dancer> Okay, I just got in. I've gotta grab a coffee (having drunk a LOT of wine) and kick off my shoes.

*CSFB> bleah

*Finky> Bry?  Wouldn't you have to find him in a crackhouse?

*MangaCoolJason> There's enough whining here as it is.   :P

*CSFB> (not too long before the roofies take hold ...)

*Nats_> *goes blind*

*Nats_> Ambush Bug is making more sense than this.

*MangaCoolJason> Stop going blind for no apparent reason.

*Finky> Blap.

*MangaCoolJason> Not in here, you don't.  This is a Mercedes!

*CSFB> i shall now subject you to EEEEEEVIL

*Finky> PUT THEM BACK ON, DAMN IT

*MangaCoolJason> I *am* evil.

*CSFB> put what back on?

*MangaCoolJason> Sunglasses?

*Finky> "If you have to ask..."

*Dancer> I'm not sure my bro will really want me looking at porn sites on his laptop, kirk.

*CSFB> :P~

*CSFB> why not?

*CSFB> it's good porn, tho'.

*CSFB> it's COMIC BOOK porn!

*Dancer> I'm not  going to wake him up to check.

*CSFB> i note a distinct silence from the rest of the room

*Finky> How old is your brother?

*Dancer> Don't need porn just now. Could have had sex. Decided to stay faithful to the P VB and come home instead.

*Dancer> 43.

*CSFB> feh

*Finky> Geez.

*Nats_> Damn you, Halo 2.

*CSFB> he NEEDS to see She-Hulk and the Thing having sex

*CSFB> everyone does

*killer_shrike> I wouldn't have been so noble

*Dancer> Good to see nats is with the programme as ever

*CSFB> ks - how so?

*Nats_> I'm not getting into THIS chat, oh no.

*CSFB> why not?

*CSFB> damn you people

*Dancer> I'm sure the erotic component of comics porn depends on the viewer actually knowing who they are looking at anyway.

*killer_shrike> I tried to access the link, Kirk.  Wouldn't work for me.

*Nats_> Worked for me, sadly. Thanks for the zero warning of what was actually in the damn link. Although I should've known.

*CSFB> http://www.wexal.com/phwforum/thread-view.asp?threadid=88&posts=1

*Dancer> Karl doesn't really like superheroes.

*killer_shrike> Is Karl your brother?

*MangaCoolJason> be right back, I'm eating dinner

*Finky> I don't know how I feel about the existance of superporn.

*Dancer> Yep. Oh, and since this is being recorded, he doesn't like ian either :-)

*Nats_> Karl Marx is your brother?

*Finky> Dancer's a communist! 

*CSFB> superporn am good

*Nats_> No, Kirk. You're just insane.

*CSFB> how is superhumanly powerful people fucking any worse than superhumanly powerful people fighting?

*CSFB> unless they're being written by Chuck Austen, in either case?

*Dancer> No worse and equally shallow if not supported by a plot

*Finky> because nipples are more offensive than eviscerating.

*Dancer> But powers are more often applicable to combat than to the bedroom, so the superhero genre rightly shows more of the one than the other

*CSFB> reminds me of a website for female sex toys that I came across, calling itself "Masturbate for Peace"

*Dancer> I'm sure it would.

*Finky> unless it's something like "Superman."

*Dancer> So, who have I missed tonight? Apart from IW?

*CSFB> vizh

*Dancer> Who I totally checked was okay, by the way.

*Visionary> Hey folks.

*Dancer> I'm sure he's secretly happy.

*Visionary> Who joined what now?

*Finky> Fake Man!

*Dancer> Deep deep inside.

*Dancer> Ooh, good story about Kerry, Adam.

*Dancer> Also good story Ian (for the record)

*Dancer> And Jason.

*Visionary> Was it?  Good.  I wasn't sure about writing her.

*Nats_> I dunno if we need Depressing Week.

*Nats_> Considering I don't need to be more depressed.

*Finky> Is that possible?

*killer_shrike> You could buck the trend and post a positive, uplifting story...

*Dancer> I thought you did just fine, Adam. It hit just the right note.

*Visionary> Weren't you trying to depress yourself yesterday?

*Visionary> ?

*Finky> I'm tempted to write something like that, ks, but I can't write uplifting.  My narrative falls apart.

*CSFB> ... about lesbians ...

*Nats_> *goes back to reading Ambush Bug*

*Dancer> Nats, why are you depressed?

*Nats_> Why am I NOT depressed?

*Dancer> Tell us.

*Dancer> We do not want our resident Nats to be depressed. We want a happy Nats.

*killer_shrike> I meant Nats.  But if you wanted to post something even depressing, that would be good.  I Liked your last story a lot

*Dancer> A clean Nats in a clean body.

*Nats_> No such thing, baby.

*CSFB> be right back.

*Dancer> A new nats for a new era.

*Finky> Well...it's looking as if the first Nihilist arc may end on a somewhat uplifting note.

*Dancer> Really? Splendid.

*Visionary> Is that allowed?

*killer_shrike> Excellent

*Dancer> Actually, I'll just be glad to see stories that END, from nearly all of you!

*Finky> Of course, I'll post it when we see the last chapter of Happiness.

*Dancer> You gwet me all excited ands then wander off. it;s like dating.

*killer_shrike> I don't think I've read any part of Happiness, actually.

*Visionary> And here I thought the concern was making sure you didn't end too soon.

*Visionary> You're not missing anything

*Finky> I do believe we're due for a new trade of Happiness.

*Dancer> You are so missing something. Repost. Repost now.

*Dancer> Its a story wioth everything. Except the last chapter.

*Dancer> Did we EVER work out how you got bak from the corn, Vizxh?>?

*Visionary> Greyhound bus, I figure.

*Dancer> For that matter, did we ever work out what heppened after Burch's ID was blown??

*Dancer> OR get any further with the Nats-Glory-Miss F ttriangle??

*Dancer> Or the No-Girls Club??

*Dancer> Or Alcheman???

*Finky> "Stuck in the corn?  Go Greyhound!"

*killer_shrike> Alcheman is what I'm goign to work on next.

*Visionary> Or the Kerry/spiffy story?

*Dancer> And dont get me started on "Saving Gwen Stacy"

*Dancer> Just because Im guilty doesnt mean youre not!!!!!

*Visionary> If i'm going down I'm taking you all with me.

*Finky> I'm not guilty because you have no proof.

*Dancer> Absence of proof does not deny guiltg

*Dancer> Ask lisa ;-)

*Finky> Asking Lisa usually involves things of Bad Natures, and it's in the dark, looming vigilante handbook to avoid Bad Things if at all possible.

*Nats_> I hope you mean Ruby instead of Glory.

*Visionary> LOL

*CSFB> bleah

*Dancer> Sorry? Actually I meant Betty.

*Nats_> Betty>

*Dancer> Or whoever that woman you work with at the newspaper is.

*Nats_> Oh....

*Nats_> Newspaper?

*Nats_> Oh, right, i didn't write that yet.

*Bry> The Dean!

*Bry> The whole Parodyverse?

*Nats_> The Parodyverse is better than any relationship.

*Bry> At the same time?

*Finky> I thought rockstars were the Antichrist.

*Visionary> Heya Finny

*Bry> That sounds painful and impossible.

*Dancer> Well, I am in the chat room with you people.

*Dancer> And the laptop is on my bed, so...

*Finny> Wow, I got a lot of exclamation points.

*Finky> That's not the only points you get.

*Dancer> it's not a contest

*Bry> I only got twelve.

*Finny> I get points?

*Dancer> You went back and counted?????

*Finky> I got none.  "sob"

*Bry> You got, like, twenty.

*Nats_> I didn't get any, did I? Humpho.

*Nats_> *mails self to Iceland*

*Dancer> Now I feel bad.

*Finky> You mailed yourself to Montana?

*Bry> ...er, no.  My computer automatically counts exclamation points.

*Bry> It's, um, from the future.

*Dancer> It does? This is... a standard feature?

*Bry> Oh yeah, it's all sorts of standard.

*Nats_> Monk was decent last night, but the entire episode was just an in-joke about the theme song.

*CSFB> (lies)

*Dancer> Anyway, DK and nats were already lurking here when I arrived.

*Visionary> By the way...  What indignities have been suffered by the autorecorder?

*Dancer> So I didn't get to greet themn individually.

*Finny> Wahida, have you met Nats?

*WAHIDA> hey what's up

*WAHIDA> guys and girls

*WAHIDA> ?

*Nats_> *sigh*

*CSFB> not much

*CSFB> is wahida into comics?

*WAHIDA> COOL@CSFB

*Visionary> So what ever happened to Cabfairgurl?

*Dancer> They're obsessively counting exclamation marks to decide who's most popular.

*WAHIDA> is anybody there from Tanzania

*Bry> Finky is.

*Visionary> Sure, when you say it like that, it sounds kinda pathetic.

*Nats_> Isn't that in Michigan?

*CSFB> that's a bit far afield from most of us

*Bry> He's from all over Tanzania. 

*Finky> I'm not there, though.  I'm here.

*Dancer> I never knew DK was from Tanzania.

*MangaCoolJason> Tanzania?  I own this bank there that needs to transfer funds to the U.S. very quickly.

*Bry> You're where I tell you to be, bitch.

*Dancer> I thought he was from hell.

*WAHIDA> YEAH@MANGA

*MangaCoolJason> All I need is someone's bank account number

*WAHIDA> hello I asked a question ?

*Finky> I think Tanzania would be a trade-up from Montana.

*Bry> Take Nats'.  It's the most empty.

*Nats_> We only answer QUESTIONS, here.

*Nats_> I have a bank account?

*Nats_> Go me!

*Nats_> :)

*WAHIDA> SHut up @finky

*CSFB> Wahida - in all seriousness, none of us are, no

WAHIDA has left.

*Nats_> We win!

*Bry> ...weird one.

*Finny> Ahh, the great unwashed.

*Dancer> CSFB! is so nice when he's not directing people to pron sites.

*Nats_> h.

WAHIDA has left.

*Finny> The good news: Ethan Van Scriver is rumored to have a new gig.

*Bry> WOW@NATS!1!!

*Bry> Ooo!

*Finny> The bad news: Geoff Johns is writing it, and it's starring Hal Jordan.

*Nats_> It's "Sciver."

*Finky> Ugh.

*Nats_> And how is that good?

*Bry> :-O

*MangaCoolJason> Hey Dancer, I added that search-by-author and search-by-topic thing you asked for.

*Nats_> Sciver sucks.

*Finny> Whatever his name is.

*Nats_> Dear lord.

*Bry> ...does this means Kyle's dead now?

*CSFB> Green Lantern!

*Dancer> Really? Thanx Jason.

*CSFB> i think Kyle is being gradually phased out

*Finny> No, the rumor is that there will be three GL books.

*Dancer> Hal as GL???

*Bry> THREE?

*Bry> Well.

*Finny> Kyle, Hal, and a Corps book.

*Nats_> Three?

*Nats_> Hmm.

*Visionary> So was there a QUESTION?

*MangaCoolJason> They killed Kyle?  Those bastards!

*Finny> DiDio already said he wanted to make it into a franchise...

*Dancer> I dont think i ever read a story featuring hl as GL

*Bry> That's almost what I'd have done.

*Nats_> Am I writing one of them?

*Bry> Kyle in GL, and Hal leading the GLC.

*Finky> No.  Bry is.

*Nats_> Same here, except without the Kyle or Hal bits! :)

*Bry> But I guess that'll be John Stewart's gig, then?

*Dancer> We havent had a QUESTION yet. i think I've lost the knack. or maybe Manny borrowed it.

*MangaCoolJason> What kind of QUESTION?

*Finny> Yeah, I'm guessing Stewart will be in the Corps book.

*Finky> Is Dancer the only one allowed to ask QUESTIONS?

*Visionary> It's a Dancer thing.

*CSFB> between HEAT bringing back Hal and the JL toon setting up John as the GL of the Justice League ...

*Nats_> Where art these rumors?

*Finny> ...though I prefer Hal, I hope the Hal series falls flat, if it's bad. Just because I'm sick of the more extreme Hal fans talking about how it'll be a huge success.

*Dancer> Apparently Im tyhe only one allowed exclaimation marks as well

*Visionary> No... others can.  But they might not truly qualify as QUESTIONS

*Finny> The creative team part is much more questionable, rumor-wise, than the actual fact that they're bringing back Hal.

*Visionary> And I've got dibs on... um... tildas.

*Bry> Johns is usually good at keeping the fanboys happy while actually telling good stories, though.

*Finny> Alex Ross even admitted to it. The overrated little--*ahem*

*Visionary> ~~~~~

*Finky> My QUESTION is if we'll ever learn if Visionary's fake.

*MangaCoolJason> I don't squander exclamation marks.  They're very expensive.

*Visionary> That was pretty much answered in an Untold tale.

*Visionary> ~~

*Dancer> The answer was MAYBE!!!!!

*Finny> When will Visionary go on a quest to become a real boy?

*Dancer> And dont you tilda at me, Adam Diller!

*Finky> "tilda"?

*Nats_> Hal needs to have a whole Angel vibe to him now.

*Visionary> I can contain the tildas.  Sorry.

*Visionary> ~~~~

*Nats_> To make up for his past misdeeds, blah blah.

*Dancer> !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Finny> They tried that in the Spectre.

*Finny> Didn't exactly work.

*MangaCoolJason> That's been done way too much

*Nats_> Yeah, but that was Spectre.

*MangaCoolJason> It's even in the opening scenes of Forever Knight.

*CSFB> JM DeMatteis writing it might not have helped, either

*MangaCoolJason> Anyone else remember that show?

*CSFB> i like a lot of his work, but ...

*Nats_> DeMatteis was great on JL and Spidey.

*Finky> DeMatteis mockery?  UnCLEAN.

*Finny> Hey, DeMatteis used to be good.

*CSFB> Nick Knight, brought across in 1228

*Dancer> wOULD i HAVE READ ANY OF HIOS WORK??

*MangaCoolJason> Yes, and he became a cop to repay society

*CSFB> "preyed on humans for their blood ..."

*Dancer> Sorry, caops lock

*Nats_> I just want a new Green Lantern.

*Visionary> Someone was drinking tonight.

*Finny> DeMatteis is a good example of a writer who got stuck in one genre.

*MangaCoolJason> I will create a new Green Lantern.

*Nats_> Actually, I wanna bunch of new ones.

*MangaCoolJason> Happy now?

*Dancer> I'm pretty sober now. i havent fallen out of bed once

*CSFB> "... but now, he wants to be mortal again ..."

*Nats_> Each new writer should create a new one. Etc.

*Bry> Os are invading Dancer's sentences!

*Bry> KILL THEM!

*CSFB> "... to repay society for his sins ..."

*MangaCoolJason> She's not that drunk yet.

*Dancer> yes. kill them for me

*Nats_> Kirk, what the hell are you talking about?

*CSFB> "... and escape from his endless ... FOREVER ... KNIGHT!"

*MangaCoolJason> I've talked to people who were a lot more drunk.

*killer_shrike> I remember that show

*Bry> Hmm, drunk.  There's an idea.

*Dancer> I'm not drunk. Just relaxed. mellow.

*Bry> *goes to get a beer*

*Visionary> So long as it's not how much action cartoon GL is getting, let him talk about whatever he wants.

*CSFB> forever knight.  vampire cop in canada

*Finny> I also remember that show.

*Finny> Vampire, cop, Seattle.

*Finny> I thought it was Seattle.

*Nats_> *lost*

*CSFB> toronto, fucksticks.

*Finny> They used to rerun that on USA.

*Finny> Bah.

*Dancer> Pay attention, Nats.

*Finny> Blasted Candians.

*Visionary> So now that she's mellow, let's vote to make DAncer a LL leader.

*Dancer> And sit up straiught#

*CSFB> started as a pilot starring rick springfield

*Nats_> Meh. Asshat.

*Dancer> No. Im not that mellow.

*Nats_> I thought Rick Springfield was the Human Target.

*Dancer> beside, we have a fine upstanding dragon to lead the LL.

*CSFB> became part of steve j. cannell's "crimetime after primetime" on cbs

*Finny> HA

*Dancer> When did Finny resign exactly????

*Visionary> He's dead.

*Dancer> Hmm???

*Finky> I could always lead.  Hee.

*Finny> Wait, I'm a ghost?

*Finny> Yay!

*Visionary> *pokes Finny with a stick*

*Visionary> See?

*Finny> *heads for the nearest girls' locker room*

*Finny> Being dead is cool.

*CSFB> lead was recast to geraint wyn davies

*Dancer> No, he is not dead. he is just disembodies so G-0Eyed could can nats

*Bry> Finky for leader of the Lair Legion!

*Visionary> I'm pretty sure a body is needed to be alive.  He's dead.

*Bry> His mind is alive and floating!

*Finky> Finky, Finny's evil Mini Me!

*Dancer> hes not. hes pining for the fjiords/

*Finny> What Homsar Runner is to Homestar Runner, Finky is to Finny.

*CSFB> his girlfriend was played by the acress who did the voice of jean grey on the '90s x-men toon

*Visionary> Big ol' zombie dragon with the Devil Doctor inside.

*Finny> "I was raised by a cup of coffee!"

*Dancer> But DD's not going to stay in Finny forever. he's already moving forward for the bigf slap down

*Visionary> This Finny is no more.  he has ceased to be.

*Dancer> And #140 is called The Return of Fin Fang Foom. Doesnt that seem kind of like a clue to you??

*Bry> "NnNNNnnnNAAAaaaAAts!  Help me find my rasberry high-top surprise!"

*MangaCoolJason> Is this anything like "Return of the Jedi"?

*Visionary> I'm pretty sure that's a typo.

*Finky> "Return of the Super Schlong!"

*Dancer> What should it read??

*Visionary> Now that one sounds accurate.

*Finny> "Because the women of the Parodyverse demanded it!"

*Dancer> Speaking as one of them, I must have missed the memo

*Visionary> "Dancer named leader, Locked in closet until acceptance sinks in"

*Finny> "sob"

*Dancer> Finny is leader. And if it isnt Finny its Vizh.

*Nats_> "Fin Fang Foom becomes the newest Spice Girl."

*MangaCoolJason> It's all chaos!  Chaos, I tell you!

*Nats_> As I've said...Dancer or HH for next leader.

*Dancer> Or are you claiming Vish is dead now too

*Visionary> I'm pretty sure he is.

*Finky> As Vizh is fake, he can't be alive or dead.

*Nats_> You have to be real to die.

*Visionary> I certainly haven't run into him lately.

*Finny> Dancer can be my deputy! We can ditch that Goldeneyed guy.

*Dancer> Grrr

*Bry> Nats for the next Butler!

*Nats_> Bry for next supervillain.

*MangaCoolJason> "I shot the sherriff...but I didn't shoot the deputy..."

*Finky> Deputy?  I thought you were looking more for Dancer as French Maid.

*Finny> Ixnay on the ruthtay!

*Dancer> I nwouldnt displace G-Eyed. i could never be as mean as he is ;-)

*Bry> "Nats!  Fetch me the newspaper, will you?"  "Mmmyess, sir Goldeneyed."

*Bry> Very tempting.

*Bry> Well...

*Nats_> Tempting for displacement?

*Bry> I guess you'll have to see.

*MangaCoolJason> I'm a lot meaner, but I can't lead.

*Dancer> I suppose we could get you in to the LL too :-)

*Finny> I'm incapable of being mean.

*Bry> Nats wants HH to lead the Legion.  Will he settle for someone evil who isn't HH?  ;-)

*Finny> I'm not really sure how I ended up in charge, though.

*Dancer> You volunteered.

*Finky> You ended up in charge because Visionary's a wuss.

*Finny> Did I?

*Nats_> No, VIzh put you in charge.

*Nats_> Or Lisa.

*Dancer> I remember all those big debates online

*Nats_> Or both.

*Dancer> You wnted it. you begged for it.

*Visionary> Actually, i just named him in charge.

WAHIDA4336 has left.

*Dancer> You grovelled and pleaded and cried like Nats.

*Nats_> *kicks spiffy into chat room*

*Finny> No, I'm too dignified.

*Nats_> *reads Ambush Bug*

*Visionary> It's how I got the job.  And Lisa before me.  It's tradition to have it thrust upon you.

*Finny> Wait, that means *I* get to thrust it at someone!

*CSFB> heh heh ... "thrust"

*Finny> Er, on.

*Finny> Yes, on.

*Dancer> You mean that story is done.#

*MangaCoolJason> If I am elected, I won't do a damn thing.

*Dancer> And I say again... Finny is STILL AROUND.

*Finky> Jason: like Lisa and Visionary before you.

*MangaCoolJason> Now that's a promise that's easy to keep.

*Finny> Vizh is still around, too, but he thrust it on me.

*Finny> "I feel violated."

*Visionary> *pokes the dead lizard with stick*

*Nats_> Mark says he's a big doody wuss who might not show up. Either that or he said "hi." I forget which.

*Dancer> LOL!

*Bry> I think I remember.  Vizh left for the LoR, and Finny was pissed about it and left in charge.

*Finny> Hmm...who should I thrust it on, at that distant point in the future...

*Finny> Indeed.

Xeirn (~Applet@2FC6A625F1FAB4.chatzone.de) has joined.

*Finny> In-continuity, the founders ditched me and left me in charge.

*Finny> Makes for good story, that.

*Visionary> As he's dead, it's really GE who should do the thrusting.

*Finny> Xeirn, have you met Nats?

*Finny> I haven't gotten my turn!

*Dancer> Vizh just turned out to be a quitter wuss/

*MangaCoolJason> Well, if it doesn't have to be someone "real" I have plenty of candidates.

*CSFB> hi zeirn

*Visionary> I didn't quit.  I retired.  You get a watch that way.

*CSFB> xeirn :/

*Bry> It was kinda like the All New, All Different X-Men.  All the old ones ditched the team and left a radically different gang to take the reigns.

*Xeirn> Hi everyone

*Bry> ...sorry, Kirk-moment.

*Dancer> hey

*Finky> *sedates Bry*

*Visionary> Mine was a real Rodex watch.

*CSFB> what's wrong with kirk moments?

*Finny> I'm now one of the few old-timers left in the LL. And they'll never get me out!

*Xeirn> brb

*Visionary> Only over your cold, dead corpse.  Wait a minute...

*Dancer> So anyway, the order of being leader is now: Finny, Vizh, Lisa, Jarvis, Bry, Hat, everybody else, me.

*Bry> You never did link me to that dirty website.

*Finny> No, you're second.

Xeirn has left.

*Finky> I'm pretty certain Dancer's a lock for next leader.

*Bry> Do I officially count as a leader?

*Visionary> Why has GE been left off the list?  he's not dead, just mad with power.

*Bry> I'm kinda a fill-in.

*Dancer> it is not goin g to happen. Really.

*Finny> Yes, yes you do.

*Visionary> Wonky in the head.

*Dancer> Bry is GEyed, Vizh/

*CSFB> http://www.wexal.com/art/pu-shehulk-thing.jpg

*Visionary> Yes, I know. 

*Finny> Without being egotistical, I'd say you're our second-best option for leader, after yours truly. As I don't acknowledge the fake man.

*Nats_> Don't click it!

*Nats_> it's evil.

*CSFB> bry requested it :)

*Visionary> *Pokes crazy GE with a stick*

*Dancer> Its true. Bry wanted the pron

*Bry> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Visionary> See?  Not quite rational that one.

*Bry> *beats self with a table*

*Bry> MAKE IT STOP!!!

*Finny> *has fun writing CSFB!* Hee.

*Dancer> When Finny is dead we can consider a new leader. And after Vizh is dead we can considefr another new leader, and so on

*Visionary> Crazy as a loon.

*CSFB> turned you on that much, eh? :)

*MangaCoolJason> Don't make me hose you down, Bry.

*MangaCoolJason> ...again.

*Nats_> The leader list goes Finny, HH, Dancer, Whitney, Hatman, everyone else, Bry, me.

*Finky> ...Bry likes being hosed down.

*MangaCoolJason> Not with ice water

*Nats_> *kills off everyone but Dancer*

*CSFB> how is finny writing me, again?

*Finny> In FALL, Kirk.

*Finky> He bribed you.

*Bry> *stabs eyes out with broken beer bottle!*

*MangaCoolJason> Ice water is all I have here.  It's 10 degrees outside.

*Dancer> Same here. But ours in centigrade

*CSFB> everyone needs to see the Thing fucking She-Hulk at least once.  EVERYONE.

*Finny> Before Dancer leads anything, I think we need to have her walk the line.

*Dancer> MCJ: Brrr.

*CSFB> xander :)

*MangaCoolJason> *Xaninates Nats*

* Xander is unable to sleep - catching up on UTT! Now got to #129

*Finky> Dancer would quite appreciate being voted the new leader.

*Dancer> They were just bullying me, Mike, because they're a bunch of leaderless cissies who can

*Dancer> t take responsibility for their own lives

*MangaCoolJason> I deny any involvement whatsoever.

*Finky> I can't bully you.  You could kick the crap out of me.

*Nats_> *declines responsiblity*

*Visionary> Yeah, that's pretty much it.  Can we put you down for a vote?

*Visionary> Heya spiffy.

*Dancer> Hey Mark!!!

*spiffy> Hey guys!  I can't actually stay, but Bill and Greg were harrassing me to show up.

*MangaCoolJason> Lemme test something

*Dancer> Yes. Nats was being very mean about you.

*MangaCoolJason> Nope, didn't work.

*spiffy> Poor boy, venting his inadequacies on me...

*Dancer> Vizh wa being mean about me. he is the Devil

*Nats_> That spiffy sure is one sexy chunk of Canada, eh?

*spiffy> Vizh, you're the Devil?

*Finny> I'm not trying to persecute you, Dancer. I'm trying to make you Deputy! (And no, that isn't what the kids are calling it nowadays.)

*Nats_> Reminds me so much of me.

*MangaCoolJason> Nah, cause the Devil is a pretty nice guy.

*Nats_> Except drunker.

*Visionary> I'm at least the bus driver on the road to Ruin.

*Dancer> I don not want to be deputy. i do not want to be leader. I am happy as I am

*spiffy> Don't we already have a leader?

*Finky> ...this is starting to read like a Dr Seuss book.

*Dancer> I like my status quo. I want my sttus quo

*MangaCoolJason> Fine, Vis, as long as it's not a porcelein bus.

* Xander observes that the topics of conversation involving Finny seem to be at the same old level.

*Visionary> We have a few, but they're either dead or crazy.

*Dancer> Unless IW kills me oiff that is

*spiffy> What's wrong with dead or crazy leaders?  This is discrimination!

*Finny> I've remained entirely angelic, Mike.

*Dancer> Oh yeah, and Finky is DK by the way

*Finky> You're right...Mark's crazy, but he still leads RA.

* Xander is still 9 Untold Tales behind current, so is not fully up-to-date

*MangaCoolJason> Spiffy:  I say that a lot.  That's why I'm not a leader of anything.  :P

*Xander> Dancer, Thanks - I did wonder!

*Xander> Who was that?

*Nats_> *sleeps*

*MangaCoolJason> That's what they all say, Spiffy.

*Finny> Bit slow on the trigger, there, Greg.

*Dancer> You clearly havent had many dark mistresses

*Finky> Fingy: story of my life.

*Finny> Grr.

*Dancer> Yes, i agree. Vizh needs to do more PVB art.

*Nats_> *runs from the law*

*Xander> Thank you!

*Dancer> Daily if possible

*Nats_> Stop doing that.

*Nats_> :)

*Xander> Yes - More Vizh Art! I love the Kerry Shepherdson pic.

*CSFB> the truth

*Nats_> It isn't healthy.

* Xander is trying to get away from Nats' colour, now her realises Nats is in the chat room!

*Visionary> You're the one who discussed the flavor of his tongue, aren't you?

*Finky> That's what turns on Ethiopian women, though, Nats!

*Dancer> No, i dont remember a full discussion

*Visionary> True.  Though none of us even brought it up.

*MangaCoolJason> Why, did you eat his tongue with fauva beans and a nice Chianti?

*Nats_> I'm Mr. Cellophane.

*Xander> Nats - OK if I use this colour today?

*Nats_> Go back to quietly ignoring me everyone! *sleeps*

*Dancer> I still want a pV story to go with this ne http://ajdiller.home.comcast.net/image_pages/perfect.htm

*Nats_> Her clothes are all see-through.

*Visionary> How do you still have that address?

*Nats_> And I did not learn of this image-viewer.

*Dancer> I bookmarked you.

* Xander pauses to view alleged picture

*Finny> *rams Dennis Quaid's still-beating heart down the throat of the sleeping Nats*

*Finny> ...I'm too young to see that pic.

*Dancer> I also bookmarked http://ajdiller.home.comcast.net/image_pages/nessie.htm

*Dancer> Becausae although the Devil you are a very good artist.

*Xander> Who/what character are they?

*MangaCoolJason> I, on the other hand, am an aspiring yet crappy artist.  Yep, I admit it.

*Bry> Image Viewer?

*Dancer> None yet. Adam hasnt written the stories yet

*Nats_> Gah.

*Finny> Hey, does anyone remember the story that was going to go along with the new characters that Vizh was posting?

*Dancer> Yes. Yes i do.

*Finny> I remember the tagline, but not the title.

*Dancer> I even read p[art of it in preview. it was very good.

*Finny> "One job, one shot at respect", something like that.

* Xander thinks that Nessie would work well with a tie-in to Banjooooo!

*Bry> The Undesirables?

*Bry> I think?

*Finny> Something like that.

*Finny> The Irregulars?

*Finny> Tell us, Vizh!

*Visionary> Undesireables.

*Dancer> It was undesirables

*Finny> Bah.

*Xander> Dancer - We must meet sometime.  Just to shatter/confirm impressions!

*Bry> ...a years' age difference is illegal, now?

*MangaCoolJason> Yep.

*Link6000> nats you are a bitch live with it!

*Finky> "yet"

*MangaCoolJason> Nats, are you still a 17 year old girl?

*Dancer> I'd like to think so. With a cheery joke where they all laugh about the adventure.

*Visionary> That's how *I'd* end it.  If I were the devil.

*MangaCoolJason> Ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?

*Dancer> Which yiou are. So that must be it.

*Bry> Nats is my puppy's mother.

*Visionary> But I'm really rather harmless and fairly tolerable.

*Link6000> finny..

Xander has left.(I closed Chat.class [ http://www.chatzone.de ])

*Link6000> y did u talk about sex?

*krotch> i seek tjis for real

*Nats_> ...

*Bry> Tjis?

*Bry> Do you mean TGIF?

*krotch> this

*CSFB> help?

*Bry> Okay, first travel back in time ten or so years...

*CSFB> someone?

*Bry> Then, buy a television.

*Visionary> What's the matter, Kirk?

*CSFB> we need an old priest and a young priest

*Dancer> LOL

*CSFB> to exorcise the room

*Bry> They're both dead.

*Finny> I've found the ignore option to be quite effective.

*Finky> THE POWER OF MOORE COMPELS YOU

*Finky> COMPELLS, rather.

*Visionary> I just used the "ignore" function.  No offence to you people I can no longer see.

*Link6000> ok

*CSFB> ah, much better

*Nats_> Ahh, right.

*Nats_> Ignorance.

*MangaCoolJason> Why do I get the feeling that a lot of people are ignoring me?

*Nats_> There we go.

*Bry> Krotch, there's a little website I know called dictionary.com.  Consult it.

*CSFB> you hear something?

*Visionary> Did Jason say something?

*Dancer> Im not ignoring you Jason

*krotch> ok

*Nats_> Hmm.

*Link6000> O MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

*MangaCoolJason> Oh, so it's just Nats then.

*Nats_> Andy, get moving on that Popthingy.

*Nats_> I'm not ignoring Jason.

*Bry> Link600020021244234, go save Zelda435353456456 already.  She needs your help against Ganon2234342523.

*Nats_> You're yelling at me about Math, and all this stuff.

*MangaCoolJason> Bry:  LOL!

*Link6000> ok

krotch has left.(I closed Chat.class [ http://www.chatzone.de ])

*Link6000>  i win

*MangaCoolJason> Yay!  Krotch is gone!

*CSFB> thank god

*Link6000> yes!

*Bry> It's a long and epic journey that will be rereleased someday on a portable console.

*MangaCoolJason> Portable?  Will the names even fit there?

*Finky> It really was like dealing with ovluating South Parkers.

*MangaCoolJason> I mean they'd probably take up an entire 5" screen.

*Finky> ...ovulating.

*Bry> Go get a horse or something.  And, I dunno, a sword.  Yeah.

*Dancer> But he's be back. i'm making notes. There's a story somewhere that he'll fit into  just fine.

*Visionary> We're taking notes again? 

*Bry> Jason, you just have to hit the A button approximately 78 times to scroll through the names.

*Dancer> Isnt this whole thing being recorded? They told\ me it was.

*Link6000> i already have got a sword

*Finky> Heh.

*Bry> Then go save Zelda.

*Dancer> I wouldn'tr have worn a pyjama jacket otherwise.

*Visionary> Yeah... there's the autorecorder.

*Bry> Go.  Save,  Zelda232323432534534.

*MangaCoolJason> Meh!  If it takes more than 5 times, forget it!  Zelda can die.

*Link6000> i did

*Bry> No you didn't!

*Bry> You didn't even leave!

*Bry> She's not on the internet, she's in Hyrule.

*Bry> Go find Hyrule.

*Nats_> Ahh, reading actual comics appearances of Argh!Yle almost ruins the magic.

*Link6000> found it

*Visionary> There are actual appearances?

*Bry> You need to consult a map.

*Dancer> There's a surreal one-sided conversation happening on my computer screen

*Nats_> Ambush Bug.

*Bry> Go find a map.

*CSFB> you thought i just made him up?

*Bry> I think it's in the sewer system.

*MangaCoolJason> Link, go reset your XBox, it just crashed.

*Bry> Somewhere, anyway.

*Finky> I think something popped.

*Visionary> Yeah, I noticed that too.

*Bry> Could take a while to find it.

*Link6000> i dont have a Xbox

*Visionary> Somehow, i doubt it'd make all that much more sense even if I read the other half.

*Dancer> i suppose it coulod be fun to try and supply the other hal;f of the dialogue.

*Link6000> i found it

*Bry> Nevermind, he's already cooler than Bill.

*Dancer> LOL

*MangaCoolJason> Oh.  Well, sorry, then your computer has a virus.  Hit the reset button and it'll fix itself.

*Link6000> nah

*Dancer> It sounds like some of the boys are being mean

*Finky> No, no...viruses are only solved by hitting "alt, control, delete" simultaneously.

*Dancer> Well, all of them really.

*CSFB> heh

*Link6000> guess where ifound hyrule

*Visionary> They're not as mellow as you. 

*MangaCoolJason> *presses Alt-Control-Delete*

*MangaCoolJason> Nope.  Didn't work.

*Bry> Atop the highest building in all the land?

*Finny> I'm always nice.

*MangaCoolJason> Didn't do anythng at all.

*Link6000> want to guess?

*Visionary> Or maybe just more tipsy.  It's hard to say.

*Link6000> no

*Finky> Ladies and Gentlemen: we've been joined by Bad Andy!

*Link6000> give up?

*Bry> Sure, whatever.,

*Dancer> We have??

*Finny> No, no we haven't.

*Finky> Lies.

*Visionary> Is he dead too?

*MangaCoolJason> Dancer:  I'm not mean, just a bit of a practical joker.

*Link6000> in my GCN!

*Dancer> I'm pretty sobered up now. The coffee may have been a mistake hought.

*Bry> HA.  HA.  HA.  HA.  HA.  HA.  HA.  HA.  HA.  HA.  HA.  HA.  HA.  HA.  HA.  HA.  HA.

*neef> any females in here press 222222222222

*Finky> I'm so feminine that my breasts block out the sun.

*Bry> 3333333333333

*Link6000> ok

*neef> asl bry

*Link6000> nvm

*MangaCoolJason> Liar!  There is no sun until April!

*Visionary> I really wish the autorecorder was only recording the part of the conversation that I can see.

*Bry> 25/F/CALIFORNIA

*Visionary> it's makes for good blackmail material completely out of context.

spiffy (~Applet@C0195B57DD399B.chatzone.de) has joined.

*neef> so wassup

*Dancer> I'm intrigued about learning what all these comments are about

*Visionary> Oh, great... Another one.

*CSFB> hi, mark.

*Link6000> ok

*spiffy> Heya.

*MangaCoolJason> Dancer:  Which comments?

*CSFB> turn on your auto-ignores for certain people quick

*Visionary> Heya.  We're getting a lot of traffic.

*spiffy> Who are these people I don't know?

*Finky> Somehow, I get the feeling these are RAers.

*spiffy> You're just bitter.

*Dancer> All nthe comments, jason

*Link6000> ok

*Link6000> ok

*Finky> I'm so not bitter.  I had a nice apple pie earlier today.

*spiffy> Ooh, a whole pie?

neef has left.

*MangaCoolJason> Dancer:  If you mean *my* comments, I pretty much always make no sense whatsoever.  :)

*Link6000> wow

*Finky> Well, a slice of pie.

*spiffy> Oh.  That's less exciting.

*Visionary> I like pie.

*spiffy> I, too, like pie.

*MangaCoolJason> I like toast.

*Finky> I can't eat an entire pie.

*Link6000> guess who cares

*spiffy> I'd even go so far as to say that pie likes me.

*Dancer> I mean everybody's co0mments. Having blocked people out like Vizh said I only gotg one half  of the exchange

*Visionary> Stays with you, does it?

*Dancer> It was a bit surreal.

*spiffy> (What... what's link6000 talking about?)

*Link6000> uhh.

*Finky> (Link6000 doesn't know what Link6000 is talking about.)

*CSFB> who even knows?

*MangaCoolJason> Dancer:  Sadly, it looks that way from my end too, and I'm not blocking anyone.  :)

*Dancer> I don't know. I've Ignored the comments.

*Link6000> ok

*Link6000> oooooooooooooooookay?

*spiffy> Okay!

*Dancer> heh

*MangaCoolJason> I think Dancer and Bry aren't the only ones who have been drinking.

*Visionary> My feet are very cold again.  I'm quite jealous of Dancer's posting situation.

*Link6000> who

*Bry> Everyone cares.

*spiffy> People have been drinking?  Without me?

*Bry> EVERYONE CARES!

*Finny> I've never taken a drink in my life, I'll have you know.

*spiffy> I s'pose I had enough last night...

*Finky> "Everybody hurts..."

*MangaCoolJason> Vis:  I'm not.  I'm doing exactly the same thing.

*Bry> *thrusts wildly!*

*Dancer> I do like this laptop thing. Its so0 convenient

*Link6000> seku reku!

*Visionary> Dammit... does everyone have warm, toasty, tucked-into-bed feet but me?

*Bry> ...I'm pretty sure that's not an Earth language.

*spiffy> I'm a big fan of my laptop as well.

*Dancer> In a seperate b ed from me, i hasten to add

*Link6000> coome ma sen

*Finky> I should get a laptop again, and this time, not break the thing.

*Visionary> Is Bry having virtual sex?

*MangaCoolJason> Dancer:  I use a Powerbook, so I'm typing this while leaning back with my feet up, and watching "I love the 80's" on TV.

*Visionary> So it's like a big PV slumber party.

*Dancer> Yeah, the 80s were good.

*Link6000> soko meekaru coome ma sen

*Finky> I think Bry's having a virtual stroke.

*Bry> Lt. Commander Nats, can you decipher his dialect?

*Dancer> And I wrote a PV slumber party on ce

*Visionary> I recall that.

*Link6000> it is japenese

*Finny> Bry, stop virtual stroking.

*MangaCoolJason> No it's not

*Dancer> *chokes*

*spiffy> Sorry, once again I must be off.  Have a good night, everyone!

*Link6000> yes it is

spiffy has left.(I closed Chat.class [ http://www.chatzone.de ])

*Visionary> Night spiffy

*Link6000>  coome ma sen means wait!

*MangaCoolJason> No it's not!

*Visionary> I think he was frightened.

*Visionary> Lord knows I am.

*Dancer> Is it me or s spiff getting very flighty??

*Link6000> yes it is

*Visionary> He's a social butterfly.

*MangaCoolJason> It is not!

*Link6000> yes it is

*Visionary> I don't like him hanging around my young ward.

*Visionary> Only wants one thing, that boy.

*MangaCoolJason> Foolish mortal!

*Finky> Ah, yes.  I remember Visionary, Jr.

*Link6000> o my god

*Dancer> I now suspect that jason is making up one-sided dialogue jst to baffle me ;-)

*Link6000> seku reku means you are defeated

*Finky> He should return.

*MangaCoolJason> Actually I'm winning a debate.

*Finky> He was a classic character.

*Visionary> I think his tin-foil helmet just came loose.

*Dancer> And I approve of you taking such good care of kerry, even if she does have a fiery tempoer sometimes

*Bry> Waka Waka means you should go to bed.  It's almost 9pm!

*Link6000> i can stay up

*Visionary> I was going to play around with the fact that spiffy knows her as Dancer's sister, and Vizh knows her as Sarah's sister...

*MangaCoolJason> Link, you've been watching too much crappy anime

*Visionary> but improbably, neither of them put 2 and 2 together.

*Link6000> maybe Hentai anime

*Dancer> Eeek. Continuity glit hes? Who wioll save us??

*Link6000> which is not crappy

*Dancer> My typing is really deteriorating isnt it?

*Visionary> Not a glitch.  Just a source for hyjinks.

*MangaCoolJason> That happens late at night

*Visionary> I didn't want to say anything.  Rummy.

*Link6000> u know what hentai means

*Link6000> ?

*MangaCoolJason> Yes, I do.

*Dancer> my typing is never that stellar.

*Link6000> what

*Link6000> ?

*Link6000> huh?

*Link6000> ok?

*MangaCoolJason> It's short for hentaiseiyoku

*Visionary> I didn't want to say that either.

*Visionary> Ummm... okay.

*Link6000> what does it mean!

*Nats_> Well, Shep, you are drunk and in bed.  The typing would suffer.

*Nats_> ;)

*MangaCoolJason> I just told you!

*CSFB> hentai! :)

*Dancer> Its nice that the boys c an make theior own entertainment

*Visionary> Uh-oh... they've captured Kirk's attention.

*Finny> Is that what they're calling it these days, Dancer?

*Link6000> what does hentai mean in english!

*Dancer> And as previously described, not really drunk. just... mellow

*Finky> I thought Dancer drunk and in bed was our entertainment for the evening.

*Visionary> What mellowed you?  Wine?

*MangaCoolJason> Dancer:  I *am* entertainment.  I just understate it most of the time.

*Link6000> what

*Link6000> !!!

*Dancer> Ian is going to be fasacinated by all of this in the morning.

*Link6000> Hentai means....

*Dancer> You are also all kind of blurry.

*Nats_> Heh.

*Link6000> o my god!

*Dancer> DK: Dream on

*MangaCoolJason> I told you what hentai means already

*MangaCoolJason> Move on to a new subject

*Link6000> Hentai really means naked girls

*Finky> Actually, I haven't had a dream in years.

*Visionary> I've just started having a bunch recently.

*MangaCoolJason> No it doesn't.

*Link6000> k mangacooljason!

*Visionary> Some good... some not.

*Dancer> Hmm. Getting sleepy now.      Dont think Im being rude if I fade off.

*MangaCoolJason> Dancer:  It's ok, I know someone who has actually fallen asleep at the keyboard

*Visionary> We'll know her face hit the keyboard when we see a string of ;gahldahsg;lh;jlkasakjlfhggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

*Link6000> yes it does got to www.hentaiplayground.com and see for yourself

*Dancer> but keep talking. Itsd better than TV.

*CSFB> heh heh heh ...

*Dancer> Thanks Kirk. Now Die

*MangaCoolJason> Hey Bry, tell Link more about Zelda

*Finky> Dancer's funny when she's drunk.

*Dancer> Not. Drunk.

*Link6000> jason visit that site u scared

*Nats_> She has so much in common with Mark.

*CSFB> you were sleepy :)

*Dancer> Die.

*Visionary> Am I missing something?

*MangaCoolJason> Hentaiseiyoku is the long version of Hentai.  It means perverted sexuality.

*Visionary> Now even teh people I'm not ignoring aren't making much sense.

*Dancer> Kirk sent nme a WAKE call.

*Finky> Hentaias;lkdjfasdl;kjfasd;lkfjasdf....is that related to Bill Sickenwixizcxvaopijzxc;lkvjasdf;lkj?

*Link6000> www.hentaiplayground.com visit it

*Visionary> I didn't know we could do that.

*Visionary> Did it work?

*Dancer> We can't now.  Ive switched the sound off.

*MangaCoolJason> I will not visit your crappy web site!

*Link6000> it is not mine!

*Visionary> You heading back home tomorrow, Dancer?

*Link6000> i am only 10

*MangaCoolJason> Then you shouldn't be visiting that crappy web site either.

*Visionary> Do you drive?

*Dancer> Nope. I'll be going by bus.

*Visionary> How long of a trip is it?

*Dancer> About two and a half hours.

*Visionary> I'll stop asking inane questions now.  My curiousity is satisfied.

*MangaCoolJason> Check it out, Bry, I did it.

*MangaCoolJason> Yay!

*Dancer> What diod you do, jason?

*Bry> We're alone!

*Dancer> An d can you clean it up now?

*MangaCoolJason> I chased out the last of the "new" people

*Finky> You mean the possessed people.

*Dancer> We're a warm and welcoming bunch.

*MangaCoolJason> Now I have no need for insane dialogue, yet I probably will use some anyhow.

*Visionary> So you're no longer teasing the monkeys?

*Nats_> *chokes*

*Finky> "teasing the monkeys."  I...

*Visionary> Whatever *did* happen to CabFairGurl?

*CSFB> i don't know

*CSFB> she was pleasant

*Zelda3375> ...you... you said you'd be here!

*Finny> Bry...

*Nats_> Stop it, Bry.

*MangaCoolJason> Dammit, Bry!  I'll get you for this!

*Zelda3375> *sniffles!*

*Visionary> maybe it should be the title of the story that introduces Fitzgerald the barnstorming monkey pilot.

*Zelda3375> *walks away mournfully*

Zelda3375 has left.(I closed Chat.class [ http://www.chatzone.de ])

*Dancer> That was Bry? I think I've ignored him.

*MangaCoolJason> No, that was Link again.

*Visionary> It's alright.  He was having one of his 'crazy' episodes.

*Bry> Whaaat?  I keed, I keed!  :-D

*Visionary> Poor misguided crazy bastard leader.

*Bry> The sad part is, the name Zelda6001 was already in use!  :-|

*MangaCoolJason> You didn't pick a long enough name

*Finky> Bry, the Comic Candian?

*Dancer> Ooh, I once started writing a Candian story! I wonder whatg happened to it???

*Visionary> Librarian is testing something on teh PVB but not coming in to visit.

*Visionary> Is it on your laptop?

*Dancer> It was about the LL having an exchange visit with a Candian superteam, swapping one hero from each

*Dancer> The LL got Captain Mud.

*MangaCoolJason> Looks like he's testing out new fonts.

*Visionary> Ooh.  Good concept.

*Visionary> Who'd they swap?  Dancer?

*Dancer> I dontn have a laptop. I have a 386. This is karl's

*Finky> That's why Dancer can't lead the LL.  She's leading a Candian superteam.

*Dancer> I cant remember. I may not hav e got that far.

*Visionary> You're adding bookmarks to your brother's laptop?

*Dancer> Yep :-)

*Visionary> He's going to wonder why you've bookmarked naked fish-women.

*Dancer> But at least Im not visiting Kirk's porn sites.

*MangaCoolJason> You should have given those URL's to the guy who just left.

*Dancer> I thin k hes long since stopped wondering

*MangaCoolJason> He kept asking about hentai.

*Visionary> It's nice to have an understanding family.  Or at least a tolerant one.  ;-)

*MangaCoolJason> I have one tolerant person in my family.

*Dancer> It took a long time to get Karl to stop being ov erprotective. In the end we had to get him married off to divert his attentikon.

*Visionary> Is he the one that punched Ian?

*Dancer> Yes :-)

*Dancer> That was good.

*Visionary> Good man.  ;-P

*MangaCoolJason> Only person I ever punched was a stalker who walked into my house without even ringing the bell to bother my sister.

*MangaCoolJason> Well...I didn't punch him.  The door did.

*Visionary> Good man.  Scary story, but good.

*MangaCoolJason> I just made sure to "forget" to open it.

*Dancer> Yeah

*CSFB> heh

*MangaCoolJason> You can probably guess I was kind of pissed at the time.

*Visionary> Never punched anyone.  Came close in college, but the guy backed down.

*Finny> I'm strictly a pacifist.

*Visionary> When he was sober the next day, he apologized.  Though I think he was disappointed that I wasn't taller in the light of day.

*Dancer> I dont like violent men, and I am still scared of being hit.

*MangaCoolJason> I'm not usually violent at all.  I've been threatened with violence, though.

*Visionary> I don't like to hear that you've been hit.

*MangaCoolJason> Usually over stupid things like parking spaces.

*Nats_> I hit someone with a car door once.

*CSFB> i agree with vizh :(

*Nats_> It was in jest, though.

*Dancer> We all haved some bad memories I guess.

*Nats_> Didn't mean it didn't hurt.

*Visionary> We're going to start off depression week early if we're not careful.

*Dancer> :-P

*Visionary> So it's good to be among friends, online or otherwise!

*MangaCoolJason> I refuse to believe in depression week.

*Nats_> Ever tell you the story of how I was suspended for a day because I got punched in the face? Yeah, I don't get it.

*Visionary> Even if some are cozy in bed while my feet freeze off.

*Bry> For Greg, every week is depression week!

*Finky> Lies!

*Finny> Me too.

*Nats_> Every minute is a depressio minute.

*Dancer> You really need to train yiour \dog better. Maybe if she smelled more?

*Visionary> I haven't given her that bath I've been meaning to.  Maybe my feet are just too lumpy.

*MangaCoolJason> *is warm and toasty*

*Bry> What a depressio minute!

*Nats_> I don't believe in dog training.

*Nats_> And I'm using depressio on purpose, dammit.

*Nats_> Get some culture.

*Dancer> I could certainly get used tgo this internet-bed thing.

*Visionary> Some kind of religious principle?

*Bry> Don't get TOO used to it.

*MangaCoolJason> Either that or we follow the Kool-Aid Cult.

*Dancer> Of course, fiorst Id have to have a co nnectiopn to the internet...

*MangaCoolJason> Oooooh yeah!!!!

*Visionary> That would help.

*Dancer> And a telephone line

*MangaCoolJason> Dancer:  I have a wireless connection with this laptop

*MangaCoolJason> ...mostly because I have a tendency to trip over cords

*Dancer> Same here, but I live in a chalet that has no landline connection.

*Finky> and now, I vanish.

*Finky> Later, all.

*Dancer> Bye

Finky has left.(I closed Chat.class [ http://www.chatzone.de ])

*Bry> ...and chew on them.

*Visionary> Night

*MangaCoolJason> Yes, that too.

*Visionary> He's quick.

*Bry> I miss him already.

*MangaCoolJason> As a matter of fact, it's true.  I'm chewing on my earphones cord right now.

*Bry> Like I miss my sweet, sweet beer.

*Bry> ...*goes to get another*

*MangaCoolJason> I think that's 3 beers now.

*Dancer> I could pay to have an extension from the big house, but it would \go throughb their switchboards and wouldn be able to get dial up

*Bry> Two, actually.

*Dancer> And they wont let anyone have extenral lines brought i to the estate/.

*MangaCoolJason> Do they have internet access in the big house?

*Dancer> And mobile phone connection is beyond my price range

*Dancer> Yes.

*Bry> Shep's in the Big House?  :[(

*Bry> :-(

*Dancer> But the computers there go i nto a server system

*MangaCoolJason> Ah, the solution is easy, then.  Get them to run your internet connection through one of the lines from the house's switchboard.

*Visionary> Yes... she's tucked in cozy in the Big House.

*MangaCoolJason> *used to do this crap for a living*

*Dancer> Its apparently beyond the techn ical peopl;e here. And I may be movi ng to Europe later in the ear anyway

*Dancer> year

*Visionary> Really?  Where abouts?

*Dancer> Dont know, Vizh. I said Id consider overseas workl

*MangaCoolJason> Vis:  That's because I'm crazier than anyone who will ever show up here.  :P

*Visionary> How 'bout the states?  Isn't that overseas?

*MangaCoolJason> Ask Bry, he'll vouch for that.

*Dancer> Id be happy with France or ustria b ut not ital or germany

*MangaCoolJason> Why not Italy?

*Visionary> Pasta aversion.

*Dancer> I suppose the US counts as overseas, yes.

*Finny> ...anti-pasta!?

*Bry> *vouches!*

*Finny> That's it, the engagement's off!

*MangaCoolJason> Pasta aversion?  No such thing!

*Visionary> I don't like pasta.

*Visionary> Sorry.

*Nats_> AIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE

*Finny> ...well, you're fake. I expect it, from you.

*CSFB> how can you not like pasta?

*Dancer> Pasta is fine. nine million  Italians pinching my backside as a national sport, not so mmuch

*Visionary> Don't like rice either.

*MangaCoolJason> You obviously haven't tried my extra-cheesy spaghetti then.

*MangaCoolJason> Dancer:  You must mean Rome.  They don't put up with that crap in Florence.

*Dancer> Yes, Rome

*MangaCoolJason> Rome is the 7th level of hell.

*Visionary> Or maybe they just didn't think your backside was quite as pinchable as hers.

*Dancer> LOL

*MangaCoolJason> Florence is very nice.  Quieter, less polluted, and people are more polite.

*Visionary> Same problem with Germany?

*Dancer> No. I just thought Germany was unfriendly

*Finny> ...they'll never get me to cross any ocean. I'm staying on solid ground, dammit.

*Dancer> Mind you, that was Berlin pre-wall coming down

*Visionary> Have you ever been to the states.  Or that other one...  Canada, I think we call it.

*MangaCoolJason> Finny:  I like flying just fine.  It's the airplanes that suck.

*Dancer> No. I mean to sometime

*Dancer> Same with South America

*Visionary> I'd like to visit Australia.

*Finny> Jason: I don't like flying, sailing, or any of that. It all scares me.

*MangaCoolJason> Don't go to Columbia, it's too dangerous.

*Visionary> We almost got Donar to come visit us.

*Dancer> But as I was saying to someone last night, the time when I could just hitch myu way across the planet is probabl;y \gone

*Bry> You name yourself after a dragon and you're afraid of flying?

*MangaCoolJason> Finny:  Yeah, but sitting in your car in the driveway scares you.  :P

*Finny> Jason: Actually, I'm not a big fan of cars, either. Or people.

*MangaCoolJason> Dancer:  Either way, if you visit anywhere in the U.S. chances are I won't be able to afford to go there.

*CSFB> italy is nice to visit

*Dancer> I visited.

*CSFB> ?

*MangaCoolJason> Finny:  I have to like my car, it's a Mitsubishi Eclipse

*Finny> Jason: I'm sure that name means something, but I've no idea what.

*MangaCoolJason> I've been to Florence and Rome.  I like Florence a lot, but Rome, as I said, was the 7th level of hell.

*Visionary> I'm afraid I've only visited Canada, and coast to coast US.

*Bry> Whoo!  Canada!

*Finny> I briefly went to Canada, once. I've been mostly in the Western US.

*CSFB> christ ...

*Finny> I'm not much of a travel person, though.

*Visionary> Though that's a whole continent, so I think that should count for something.

*CSFB> damn lag

*MangaCoolJason> Damn, do I hate Java.

*CSFB> oh, so it wasn't just me

*Visionary> Canada was pleasant.  Even the street vendors who sold fake Rollex watches gave refunds.  Strange land.

*Dancer> I liked Innsbruck and paris. The Greek Islands were nice in season./

*MangaCoolJason> Finny:  http://graphics.strike-two.com/car/DCP00238.JPG

*MangaCoolJason> That's an Eclipse.

*Dancer> Is it having sex with She-Hulk?

*MangaCoolJason> http://graphics.strike-two.com/car/DCP00240.JPG

*MangaCoolJason> That's a better picture

*Visionary> I recommend visiting central and northern California sometime.  Quite nice.

*Finny> ...I see. Most cars look the same to me, I'm afraid.

*Visionary> Southern California is something else altogether.

*MangaCoolJason> She-Hulk isn't anywhere in those pictures.

*Dancer> I went to Sweden and Norway at Christmas. That was nice.

*MangaCoolJason> There is an Apple sticker on the right side of the windsheild, though.

*MangaCoolJason> And before some of you laugh at that...NATS...that's so I can find my car in a parking lot if there's another Eclipse.

*Dancer> Ive been 2 years running now, This may become an annual event

*Visionary> Do you have family there?

*MangaCoolJason> Dancer:  I know someone who lives in Sweden.

*Dancer> Friends.

*Dancer> THere are quite a few people over there i understand. More than 10.

*Bry> Jasey loves his apples.

*Visionary> Cheryl really enjoyed visiting Norway.

*MangaCoolJason> Do you know Alvaro Ortiz?

*Dancer> People in Norway are rather friendly. And i was amazed at the Swedish attitudes to sex

*Visionary> Which is...

*Finny> I know Alvaro! He rules.

*MangaCoolJason> Yes.  And he makes all the people who are drunk here seem like amateurs.

*Dancer> Its pretty relaxed. The house I was staying in had two teenage girls 14 and 16 and a boy of 17 and they all had their partn ers staying over quite openl.

*Dancer> I thinkt he age of consent is about 14 there

*Finny> *the sound of Nats hopping a plane to Sweden*

*Visionary2470> My name's been stolen.

*Nats_> I'm not that mad.

*Visionary2470> I've been downgraded.

*Dancer> Who would want it???

*MangaCoolJason> Change it back again, Vis.

*Visionary2470> Hey!!  It's a very good name, dammit.

*Visionary2470> Crazy Thomas even wanted it.

*MangaCoolJason> This stupid Java thing screws up sometimes

*Dancer> Who os Crazy Thomas??

*Visionary2470> Though that might not be an argument in my favor.

*MangaCoolJason> Dave Thomas' crazy brother?

*Visionary2470> AMB Thomas

Bry is now known as Visionary

*Finny> Tomas, actually.

*Visionary> Seems free.

*MangaCoolJason> Hey Nats, have you been banned from Comicboards yet?

Visionary is now known as Bry

*Dancer> Ah. Yes. i remember him.

*Visionary2470> Sorry, been awhile.

*Finny> Tomas banned me.

*Dancer> I remember Lisa's revolution.

*Bry> For what!?

*CSFB> this was before my time

*Dancer> Tomas didnt need a reason to ban people

*Visionary2470> Wasn't her revolution, really.  Was a general uprising.

*MangaCoolJason> I've never heard of this.

*Dancer> Lisa was the figurehead though. They manned the barricades for her.

Danielle (Applet@A338EC44F5CD7D.chatzone.de) has joined.

*CSFB> hi danielle

*Dancer> Back in the early days opf the Avengers message Board, the mods were Paradox and Tomas

*Finny> Danielle, have you met Nats?

*Nats_> I'm still here?

*Finny> Then Paradox and Lisa, and then Paradox and myself, and now, myself and MTK!

*Danielle> no

*Dancer> Dox went missing for a while and Tomas turned to the dakr side of the force

*Finny> Dox did tend to go missing. That's why a good portion of my AMB modding was basically solo. Good times!

Danielle has left.

*Finny> You should meet him, Danielle. He so rules.

*Finny> Oops.

*Dancer> He went about banning people for liking Wonder Man and stuff

*Visionary2470> Not to say that wasn't a good reason...

*MangaCoolJason> Geez, and people call ME a dictator.

*Bry> ...

*Dancer> So one day Lisa and the troops attacked and got Alvaro and Cap to defrock him

*Finny> Heh!

*Dancer> lisa used her BZL powerbase to organise the coup.

*Finny> Before that, the mods had absolute power, as Alvaro wasn't really around much, and we didn't have middle management like Cap and SW and CW.

*Finny> Indeed she did.

*Dancer> And then Lisa became the new mod.

*Dancer> And there was much rejoicing

*Finny> After the Tomas incident, Alvaro appointed some higher-ups to watch the day-to-day stuff for him.

*Finny> Yes.

*Dancer> And folks do say, that oen day, yes one day, she will come back...

*Dancer> And cast out the opressors that now rule the AMB and usher in a new age of wonder and debate

*Finny> Bah!

*MangaCoolJason> So basically I arrived after Comicboards became more mellow and organized.

*Finny> Indeed.

*Dancer> Yep.

*Finny> And after it had started a lot more boards.

*Visionary2470> I suppose.  But then the Ultimates came along and, well... a new chapter was born.

*MangaCoolJason> Except for the Battle board, which I had to scare into submission.

*Finny> Oddly enough, at the moment, two PVB-related people are the longest-running mods at Comicboards...myself at the AMB, and Neil at the XUB.

*Dancer> And I think Lisa and Vizh did pretty much the same thing again with the BZL and Zemo.

*Dancer> And Donar

*Finny> I think he started on the Thor board a bit after I started on the AMB, though.

*Finny> Neil outdates us all, however.

*MangaCoolJason> I'm kind of the "rogue" mod.  No one really likes my methods, but they get the job done.  :)

*Dancer> I thought Donar was on his boiard pretty much from the start

*Bry> I've been around a while too, dammit.

*Dancer> I never get to mod anything

*MangaCoolJason> I was drafted to Comicboards by KET when he left the Four Color Females board.

*Visionary2470> Awww...

*Finny> If you want to mod something, Dancer, I'm sure we could hook you up.

*Dancer> I guess not having an internet onnection might be a diosadvantage, tjho

*MangaCoolJason> That can be arranged.

*Visionary2470> Just a bit.  ;-)

*Dancer> And not knowing that much about comics

*Visionary2470> Doesn't stop Finny :-P

*Dancer> Hehheh

*MangaCoolJason> There.  Check the PVB.

*Nats_> be back soon, Ihope..

*Visionary2470> That's alright... Lisa didn't read the Avengers either.  It's a tradition for the mods over there.

*MangaCoolJason> *is a horrible practical joker*

*Finny> I know stuff about comics, blast it.

*Finny> I just don't happen to read the Avengers.

*Dancer> What am I looking for??

*Visionary2470> Her name looks good up there.

*Dancer> Ah. heh

*Visionary2470> She's got real... Leadership potential.

*MangaCoolJason> It's sort of a vanity title right now, though.

*Dancer> Shutupshutupshutup!

*Visionary2470> See? she can even give orders well!

*Dancer> Good job Im vain then

*Dancer> AAaaaaagggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

*Visionary2470> Well, Carly Simon did write that song about you.

*Dancer> The Devil! he is the Devil!!

*Visionary2470> I think my job here is done.

*Dancer> Now im going to let kerry stay with him forever

*Visionary2470> You all take care... Sarah, you have a safe trip back home, and come visit us again soon!

*Dancer> Vizh is going??

*MangaCoolJason> Apparently so.

*Visionary2470> 'Fraid so.

*Dancer> So soon?

*Dancer> Hmm. Night then.

*MangaCoolJason> Just go ahead and say "Don't leave me here with these scary people!"  :P

*Visionary2470> Good night all...  Sleep well.

*Finny> Adios, Vizh.
