> [CSFB] hello
> [Rhiannon] Hello
> [HH_] Good evening
> [CSFB] Watson Family Theatre
> [HH_] Good piece on 9/11 Kirk.
> [HH_] Alex can't be here. He's at camp.
> [CSFB] ah
> [CSFB] will rhiannon heckle you then?
> [CSFB] as she's done on the board?
> [HH_] Rhiannon and I are in perfect accord.
> [HH_] Sometimes.
> [CSFB] she would seem to differ with that
> [HH_] is thatn not right, daughter?
> [Rhiannon] No idea
> *** Dancer has joined.
> [Rhiannon] Hello
> [CSFB] rhiannon is lurking
> [Dancer] hey guys!
> [CSFB] hey
> [HH_] Good evening Sarah.
> [Dancer] So am I early or what??
> [CSFB] so does this mean there are ... limits to what i can say here?
> [CSFB] i'm off work todau
> [CSFB] today
> [CSFB] otherwise i'd be late too
> [HH_] I expect more people might join us as we progress.
> [Dancer] They better. I had to go to a lot of trouble to get net access tonite#
> [HH_] I'm sure we all appreciate it. Otherwise we'd have to talk with Kirk
> [CSFB] ha ha
> [Dancer] So, are we doing a QUESTION or what??
> [HH_] I suspect that depends on the question.
> [CSFB] the company that owns our newspaper has branches in canada - i've seriously considered a transfer
> [HH_] What did you have in mind, dare i ask?
> [Dancer] Thats QUESTION
> [HH_] You're taking that election very seriously.
> [Dancer] Go Nixon!!
> [CSFB] sarah palin scares the shit out of me
> [CSFB] i think she might be even worse than bush
> [HH_] I think she's meant to.
> [Dancer] The female is the deadlier etc. Look at Maggie T.
> [CSFB] if obama loses, an entire generation of young voters is going to become as cynical as my own
> [HH_] So what's this Question, then?
> [Dancer] I'll get to it. First I want to hear Kirk's doom prophesy
> [CSFB] i've actually been considering america's history as a whole
> [CSFB] we're doomed now by our own successes
> [HH_] Well, first there were dinosaurs...
> [Dancer] ???
> [CSFB] aside from vietnam and iraq, every war we've gotten into has benefitted us, which is unprecedented
> [CSFB] and every single time our nation has succeeded, we've done so by ignoring or contradicting the rest of the world's conventional wisdom
> [HH_] You're suggesting that people expected an equal measure of success from Afghanistan and iraq.
> [CSFB] absolutely
> [HH_] I'm not sure that korea did you much good.
> [CSFB] the republicans flat-out stated it
> [CSFB] korea's kind of become the forgotten war
> [Dancer] So what does that all mean??
> [HH_] I'm sure MASH kept it alive in the minds of a generation.
> [CSFB] no wonder america is anti-intellectual - if we'd listened to intellectuals at any point before now, we would have given up
> [Dancer] Why would the Korean War make you move to Canada??
> [Dancer] What has Canada ever done to you???
> [CSFB] ian - actually, altman intended MASH to be about vietnam, but sensitive producers forced him to change it to korea
> [CSFB] and a lot of viewers at the time and since have gotten confused and assumed it was about vietnam anyway
> [HH_] I'm fairly sure the original novel was in Korea.
> [CSFB] true, but altman deliberately blurred the line
> [Dancer] Anyway, why Canada. Why not Europe??
> [CSFB] i'd like to be able to see family without a plane flight
> [HH_] There isn't actually a line between Korea and Viet Nam. There's a lot of miles.
> [Dancer] \:\-\(
> [Dancer] Why not mexico then???
> [CSFB] ian - yes, both they both deal with asians, and for americans ... well, i hate to see my countrymen think they all look alike, but ...
> [CSFB] dancer - because i'd like an economy that isn't akin to Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome?
> [CSFB] ian - which is why i'll probably chicken out and stay
> [Dancer] Dont diss Mel Max \:\-\)
> [CSFB] there's no escape from how bad a wrong-headed america could make the rest of the world
> [CSFB] globalization in action
> [HH_] Given the fuel price hikes you;re suffering in the US just now a Thunderdome lifestyle is only weeks away.
> [Dancer] its bad when people think China are our last best hope for peace ;-P
> [CSFB] i've already resigned myself to the fact that i'll spend my "retirement years" living in a desert and defending my beef jerky horde with a shotgun
> [HH_] Which they'll have to prise from your cold dead hands.
> [Dancer] Okay, QUESTION time now...
> [CSFB] yes?
> [HH_] If you must.
> [Dancer] Hey, YOU invited me.
> [Dancer] Okay, now I need a drumroll.
> * CSFB pokes the silent rhiannon
> [Dancer] (Manny's supposed to do that but hes not here)
> [Rhiannon] Pokes back
> [HH_] Do the drumroll, Rhi.
> [CSFB] just checking you're awake
> [Dancer] There has to be drumroll.
> [Dancer] its the law
> [HH_] To warn people to run?
> [Dancer] For dramatic build up.
> [Dancer] I like drama.
> [HH_] I'd noticed. Okay. * drum roll *
> [HH_] Happy now?
> [Dancer] Well, it wasnt as good as Manny's drumroll.
> [HH_] Shame Manny's not here then, isn;t it
> [CSFB] comparing exes now?
> [HH_] You'll just have to live with inferior drumrolls.
> [Dancer] hey, i never married Ian.
> [Dancer] Did I?
> [HH_] I'm sure I'd have remembered.
> [Dancer] So, the QUESTION....
> [HH_] Yes.
> [Dancer] "if you had to take over the LIFE of one superhero - friends, relations, problems etc - which would you pick and what would you do with it?
> [CSFB] hmmm
> [HH_] good question.
> [HH_] Do i get the abilities as well? Like Stark's genius or whatever?
> [Dancer] Why not?
> [CSFB] if I chose Spider-Man? unmask all over again
> [HH_] Okay then, I'd probably be Reed Richards, and not be a total tool when it came to relationships.
> [CSFB] it was clearly shown that it screwed over norman osborn, by depriving him of his hold over Peter
> [Dancer] Doesnt unmasking get all his friends killed tho?
> [CSFB] issue a press conference:
> [HH_] Only the ones that haven't become temporary supervillains.
> *** Visionary has joined.
> [HH_] Good eveing.
> [Visionary] Well, that's sort of working now...
> [Dancer] Vizh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
> [CSFB] "having my friends and family alive and by my side keeps me sane and honest"
> [CSFB] hey
> [Visionary] Hang on... let me sign back out and in.
> *** Visionary has left.]
> [HH_] Well that was brief.
> [Rhiannon] Hello
> [CSFB] "if you take them away, do you think that will make me LESS dangerous?"
> *** Visionary has joined.
> [Dancer] Vizh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
> [Rhiannon] Hello again
> [Visionary] Okay, that seems to be working now. Hello. \:\-\)
> [CSFB] indeed, I keep meaning to go back and show that dream screwed over garrick in his first appearance, by unmasking in his debut
> [Visionary] How is everyone on this fine anniversary?
> [CSFB] hey, vizh
> [HH_] We're having to answer Questions.
> [Dancer] Were just peachy, Adam!!!
> [Visionary] Really? Questions have been revived?
> [Dancer] QUESTIONS not questions
> [Dancer] And only one QUESTION.
> [Visionary] Which is...?
> *** Hatman has joined.
> [Dancer] "if you had to take over the LIFE of one superhero - friends, relations, problems etc - which would you pick and what would you do with it?
> [CSFB] "and since the government is requiring us to disclose our secret identities, if any harm comes to my loved ones as a result, i'll sue them into oblivion"
> [CSFB] hey jay
> [Hatman] Hey all
> [HH_] Good evening.
> [Visionary] Heya Jay
> [Dancer] Jay! Hows married life?????????
> [Dancer] I need all the details.
> [Dancer] With pictures
> [Rhiannon] Hello
> [CSFB] and my answer to the question was to have spider-man unmask, but smartly this time
> [Hatman] Married life is good. It means I don't know if I'll be able to chat tonight or not, but good. ):
> [Hatman] \:\) I mean
> [Hatman] I've barely been home this week due to work, so I may spend the evening doing something with Sarah.
> [HH_] What happens when a villain decides to take it out on your family in subtle ways, though - debts or secret illness or something?
> [Hatman] Unless she just plops down on the couch to watch tv, in which case I'll be back. \:\)
> [Dancer] Bring her.
> [Dancer] We can give you references.
> [CSFB] dancer - the solution is to live your life in public
> [CSFB] use the media spotlight to your advantage
> [HH_] I'm glad you've bucked the statistical trend and made it this far, Jay.
> [Hatman] I'm a trooper
> [Dancer] I already do that, kirk \:\-\)
> [CSFB] people can't secretly stab you in the back if you're practically the star of an ongoing reality show
> [HH_] That doesn't seem to be true of the media business.
> [CSFB] well, they can try and screw you over, but only if they want it exposed
> [Dancer] I so want to star in an ongoing reality show.
> [Visionary] Yes, because people living their lives in public never seem to have problems.
> [CSFB] there is no such thing as "secrecy" for your enemies in such a scenario
> [HH_] What happens when someone decides to take out family John Lennon-style, for the infamy of it?
> [CSFB] vizh - hey, it'd satisfy the need to have ongoing drama in the characters' stories
> [Dancer] Jay, are you with us? Do you want the QUESTION now???
> [CSFB] ian - it's a false premise, because even with his identity secret, how many times did people seek out peter's loved ones because of his "connection" to spidey?
> [Dancer] Vizh hasn't answered yet either
> [Dancer] * taps foot *
> [HH_] Neither has Rhiannon.
> [Hatman] I'm only here for a minute or two, as I need to get home for dinner
> [Dancer] So answer fast...
> [Visionary] I'm preparing dinner
> [Dancer] "if you had to take over the LIFE of one superhero - friends, relations, problems etc - which would you pick and what would you do with it?
> [HH_] Thinking further on this, I'd be Reed Richards but I'd try to use my inventions to solve some of the world's problems
> [CSFB] it's not going to solve all the characters' problems, because it shouldn't or else there would be no more stories
> [Hatman] Hmm, lemme think on that a minute...
> [CSFB] but it does lead to new and interesting stories
> [HH_] A lot of the time the FF just uphold the status quo.
> [CSFB] ian - to what degree?
> [HH_] Really they should be catalysts for change and reform. Who better than Reed to create a real scientific Utopia?
> [CSFB] squadron supreme, miracleman, or ...?
> [Dancer] Tony Stark \:\-P
> [HH_] Reed could solve the energy crisis.
> [CSFB] i'd like to see that
> [HH_] He could use his dimensional spaces tech to solve overpopulation.
> [Hatman] I just put up a couple of wedding pics at the board
> [HH_] He could fix global warming.
> [CSFB] i'd also be interested to see him dodging assassination attempts from every major energy company and oil-rich country
> [Dancer] Ooh, yes!!!
> [Dancer] Dancer wants pictures. And stories.
> [Visionary] Swanky hat!
> [CSFB] ian - actually, there was an episode of Frisky Dingo that touched upon that
> [Visionary] I'd expect nothing less from you.
> [HH_] he could probably invent devices that up crime detection to 99%
> [Hatman] The hat was a big hit
> [Dancer] A v. big hat!!!
> [CSFB] Killface invented a device to push the Earth into the sun, but instead, it altered our orbit just enough to solve global warming, and he was hailed as a hero
> [HH_] And he could actually get his family life right.
> [Hatman] I didn't find out until too late there was a prop sword inside my cane
> [Hatman] I was choked I didn't know about it until it got returned!
> [Hatman] My best man found out when he returned it
> [Dancer] Aw no! Now youll have to get married all over again!!
> [Visionary] and duel somebody.
> [Hatman] Or rent a cane for fun
> [HH_] For recreational purposes?
> [Dancer] So, my QUESTION??? Jay, Adam, Rhiannon????
> [Hatman] I wouldn't get married for recreational purposes, but dueling is a possiblility
> [Hatman] I'm thinking about the QUESTION!
> [HH_] Getting married for recreational purposes is considered acceptable.
> [Visionary] I'm still thinking, and finishing my chicken burrito.
> [Dancer] You sadist.
> [CSFB] "burrito" is a funny word
> *** Brian has joined.
> [CSFB] hello
> [Rhiannon] Hello
> [HH_] Good evening.
> [Hatman] Hey
> [Dancer] Hi!!!
> [Brian] So, I did get the time right.
> [Brian] I was worried about that.
> [CSFB] nice photos of the bride, btw \:\)
> [Dancer] The QUESTION, Brian, is this....
> [Dancer] "if you had to take over the LIFE of one superhero - friends, relations, problems etc - which would you pick and what would you do with it?
> [Hatman] The problem with the question is who in their right mind would want to live in the Marvel Universe these days?
> [HH_] Canada seems very black and white.
> [CSFB] jay - agreed
> [Dancer] Could be DC or indy too.
> [CSFB] even the current election is less depressing
> [CSFB] sarah - oh, yes, let me live in DC comics, Home Of Dr. Light's Cornholing Show
> [HH_] I wouldn't mind being Victor von Doom.
> [CSFB] the armor would be a bit confining
> [Dancer] I must have missed that one.
> [Visionary] Does Bigby Wolf count? Because that's a pretty nice deal right there.
> [Brian] If was going to take something I've made, My life is vaguely similar to that of STL.
> [Hatman] I was thinking about Bigby myself, actually
> [Brian] So, It wouldn't be that much of a change.
> [CSFB] and doom is being written by bendis a lot lately, which drops his IQ 50 points
> [Dancer] Ooh, Bigby's a good choice
> [HH_] DOOM would deal with Bendis.
> [Hatman] I'll say Thor, if only because the farmers in my area got decimated by rain this year and I could've saved their crop
> [Hatman] I'll have a better answer later. \:\)
> [Hatman] Speaking of later, I need to get home. I"ll see if I can get back in here after supper
> [Visionary] I'd get to sleep with Snow White, be the badass that I'm totally not n real life, and have a big family.
> [CSFB] have fun, jay
> [Hatman] And damn near unkillable Vizh
> [Visionary] Good seeing you Jay!
> [Dancer] Thor is good too.
> [Visionary] Yes, also a bonus.
> [Brian] Bye, Jay.
> [HH_] Goodbye, Jay.
> [Hatman] I'll try to be around the board more!
> [Rhiannon] Bye
> [Visionary] YOu do that.
> [Dancer] Do that.
> [Dancer] And more stories
> [CSFB] see, it's hard for me to say, because I'm doing with Dream what i'd like to do with a lot of other characters
> [Hatman] Wedding stories or Hatman stories?
> [Hatman] \:\)
> [Dancer] both, and Hatty wedding stories also
> [Hatman] Later
> *** Hatman has left.]
> *** killer_shrike has joined.
> [CSFB] hello
> [Rhiannon] Hello
> [HH_] Good evening.
> [killer_shrike] Howdy
> [Dancer] Mike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
> [Dancer] The QUESTION...
> [Dancer] (for Mike)
> [Dancer] "if you had to take over the LIFE of one superhero - friends, relations, problems etc - which would you pick and what would you do with it?
> [Visionary] Heya
> [Dancer] Also waiting for published superhero comics reply from Bryan
> [HH_] I still think you should include supervillains too.
> [HH_] But that might make it too easy for Shrike.
> [Brian] Bryan's not here. I am, Brian.
> [Brian] \:\)
> [Dancer] Vizh, what would you do different tho, if you were Bigby???
> [Dancer] Oops
> [Dancer] Well go get him.
> [killer_shrike] Just their life, or do I have their powers and stuff too?
> [Dancer] Powers as well
> [CSFB] ks - the full deal
> [HH_] We assumed powers and abilities.
> [killer_shrike] Superman, easy
> [Dancer] What would you do differently, tho??
> [HH_] Different spectacles at least.
> [Visionary] I wouldn't want the responsibilities of Superman's life.
> [CSFB] i'm seeing Mike-as-Superman doing it like The-Rock-asSuperman ;\)
> [killer_shrike] Not cry as much
> [HH_] Which is?
> [Brian] I'm not sure sure who I'd want to be.
> [Dancer] Even an android can cry
> [Dancer] Vizh, why wouldnt you be Vision???
> [Brian] Vision has sucked since he came back from the dead.
> [Visionary] You said I'd get all of his problems as well. He's dead.
> [CSFB] vizh should be the sex machine of Marvel - literally
> [Visionary] I'm only one man, Kirk.
> [HH_] I'm sure the death thing is only temporary.
> [CSFB] vizh - being dead is like having the flu
> [Dancer] Vizh could so set things right as Vision.
> [Brian] He stopped being Vision when he merged with the Iron Lad armor.
> [Dancer] Vision could take down Tony if he wanted to,.
> [Visionary] Last I saw, his legs weren't attached to his torso. I don't need those problems.
> [HH_] Think of them as opportunities in disguise.
> [CSFB] brian - that's gonna last as long as the next author who prefers old vision
> [Dancer] I prefer old Vision.#
> [Visionary] That's a pretty good disguise.
> [Rhiannon] I'm tired. I think I should go.
> [HH_] Goodnight, daughter.
> [CSFB] see, the whole thing is that the vision has already recovered from worse
> [Dancer] But... the QUESTION???
> [CSFB] awww
> [killer_shrike] Good night
> [CSFB] sleep tight rhiannon
> [Visionary] It was good seeing your here Rhiannon. Nice job ducking the QUESTION. ;\-\)
> [Dancer] Night, Rhiannon. \:\-\(
> [Dancer] Theres always e-mail.
> [Rhiannon] I'd be someone less tired than I am now. How's that?
> [Visionary] Too Much Coffee Man?
> [HH_] But not Wolverine
> [HH_] Or any character with a slutty costume.
> [CSFB] so ... not any female character, then?
> *** Rhiannon has left.]
> [Dancer] Well Sue Richards wears quite a lot.
> [CSFB] depending upon who's drawing her
> [HH_] Jack Kirby.
> [CSFB] but even then, the "photorealistic" trend means more women are drawn with traced porn-faces anyway
> [Visionary] He doesn't draw her much any more.
> [Visionary] It does?
> [HH_] he drew her enough to be definitive.
> [killer_shrike] Just letting everyone know that if I suddenly disappear its because my power/cable has gone out
> [CSFB] ah, okay
> [killer_shrike] And not that I'm being rude
> [Visionary] You gettting some storms from Ike?
> [HH_] They really do have whole committees plotting to keep you from these chats, don't they Shrike?
> [CSFB] i always loved that kirby supposedly drew big barda to look like lainie kazan
> [Dancer] Ooh, be careful in the bad weather
> [killer_shrike] Strong winds from Ike, yes
> [Visionary] It's Texas that's supposed to be hammered this weekend. Do we know anybody in Texas?
> [Visionary] Anybody we like?
> [HH_] Bobby Ewing?
> [Dancer] I always liked JR
> [HH_] Of course you did.
> [Visionary] But he was the bad... oh.
> [CSFB] ian - let me use my TIME MACHINE to go back far enough for that reference to be relevant \:\)
> [Brian] Hank, Peggy & Bobby Hill?
> [Dancer] hey, I like SOME good guys.
> [Visionary] Such as...?
> [Dancer] Batman. Tony Stark.
> [CSFB] PROPANE AND PROPANE ACCESSORIES
> [Visionary] I've seen "All Star Batman" and "Civil War"
> [HH_] I cant help you all being foetuses.
> [Brian] What?
> [Dancer] I havent.
> [Visionary] Keep it that way, if at all possible.
> [Dancer] Most of the comix I read were in the 80s.
> [Dancer] I had a phase.
> [Visionary] Although I hear the latest All Star Batman got recalled for having a great many legible cuss words in it.
> [HH_] Excellent.
> [CSFB] All-Star batman summary: GODDAMM BATMAN GODDAMM BATMAN GODDAMM BATMAN ALL OTHER HEROES SUCK ALL WOMEN ARE WHORES
> [Visionary] Yeah, I haven't bought a comic for a few years now. I still get the trades of Fables, but that's it.
> [Dancer] I read a few things, but nothing too regularly.
> [Brian] I buy All-Star Batman because it's so bad it's kind of good.
> [CSFB] seriously, that's been every issue
> [HH_] Miller is a bit of a one-trick pony these days.
> [Brian] The writing sucks, but the art is good.
> [CSFB] the industry seems to reward one-trick ponies
> [Brian] I still don't know if the Superman seeing All-Star Batman is the same as the one seen in All-Star Superman
> [CSFB] bendis' popularity and writing quality are inversely proportional
> [Brian] I haven't read alot of Bendis.
> [HH_] I've been disappointed with his recent output since he took on Avengers.
> [CSFB] brian - he's not. every all-star title is its own universe
> [Dancer] I looked at a few issues in the shops. Not for me.
> [Brian] Ok. That makes sense.
> [Dancer] I like my sopa opera and my likeable characters
> [CSFB] i haven't bought a comic in nearly two years
> [Dancer] I liked that Eisner book you got me for Christmas, ian.
> [HH_] Good.
> [Visionary] Which one was it?
> [Dancer] A Contract With God?
> [Visionary] Ah. I had a mixed reaction to that. Not surprising, for an anthology.
> [Dancer] I liked the one with the street singer.
> [HH_] I like pretty much everything Eisner did.
> [Visionary] Yes. Those were all depressing stories.
> [Brian] I have a story question!
> [Visionary] Shoot
> [HH_] Proceed.
> [Brian] I'm trying to decide on what to do with Catherine next
> [Dancer] Hey, you cant ask questions till your answered the QUESTION!!!
> [HH_] She interns at the MPL.
> [Brian] She's left the MPL but I don't know where I want her to end up
> [Dancer] Wakanda.
> [Brian] Back on Earth or with the Earth's populus.
> [HH_] I'd say back on Earth. Last Girl on Earth stuff.
> [Visionary] Send her to Faerie for a bit until the people get back from wherever.
> [HH_] They get back?
> [Dancer] They better, buster.
> [Visionary] They better. I'm sure someone left the stove on.
> [Dancer] I like my happy endings.
> [CSFB] ian = evil
> [HH_] You write the last chapter then. I'm having enough trouble with it.
> [HH_] And I prefer the term "otherly good".
> [Dancer] You're an old softie really.
> [Dancer] Please dont kill everybody
> [Dancer] Hey, Shrike, have you been struck by lightning yet??
> [CSFB] "not dead yet"
> [HH_] I don't think it't that kind of storm.
> [killer_shrike] Not yet
> [Brian] So, ther eis one vote for Back to Earth. Anyone else want to comment?
> [Dancer] Yeah, i said: Wakanda.
> [Visionary] And I said Faerie.
> [HH_] Wakandybar.
> [HH_] Blame Scott.
> [Visionary] I do.
> [Dancer] lol
> [HH_] has anyone given any thought to activities which we could do for our anniversary week?
> [Dancer] How about a chat??
> [Dancer] How about Vizh puts up my QUESTION???
> [HH_] We have surveys, interviews, reviews. What else?
> [CSFB] i'm thinking of a short action scene of dream on the helicarrer against the fandoms
> [Dancer] Yay! CSFB! actions scenes are rare from you.
> [Visionary] He's been doing more of them recently.
> [HH_] True. But he does them well when he does them.
> [CSFB] it'd be set to this music:
> [CSFB] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuFlcGTdNJs
> [HH_] And I may need to bring Cressida back into the LL.
> [Dancer] That would be good.
> [CSFB] what i've tried to do in other fight scenes too is incorporate the idea that he always has his own soundtrack
> [HH_] No wonder people want to kill him.
> [Visionary] And the QUESTION has been placed at the top of the board.
> *** killer_shrike has left.]
> [Brian] I probably wouldn't do Waknadybar since everything with Scott is in limbo.
> [CSFB] "an uncontrollable force ... a feeling that, in this moment, nothing can stand in your way ..."
> [Dancer] Along with the other QUESTION, which is Where Is Everyone Else???
> [CSFB] bye, mike
> [Brian] Faearie: I don't know. I don't have a good enough handle on that.
> [HH_] Why do people live in those hurricane places?
> [CSFB] they just dp
> [Visionary] Hey, it's really whatever you want it to be. A dream your heart makes, or something.
> [HH_] It's not like they're a rariry, but people always seem surprised.
> [HH_] rarity
> [CSFB] like some people live in places with awful dentistry
> [Visionary] Well, the "hurricane places" take up the majority of our Atlantic coast, so I guess it's for the ocean view.
> [CSFB] it's like the midwestern flood plain
> [Dancer] You mean Spain. * shudders *
> [Dancer] have they even invented the toothbrush??
> [Visionary] I dont' think they have to invent it so much as import it.
> [CSFB] i sometimes wonder if we shouldn't have just let the South secede after all
> [Brian] That's a wonderful image.
> [Visionary] Florida isn't the South though, and they're the ones that get hammered the most.
> [HH_] Well there's an image to treasure.
> [CSFB] true
> [CSFB] florida, like texas, is its own unique WTF
> [Dancer] Must visit America... but I dont want to have a new biometric passport.
> [Dancer] I dont want to be cloned.
> [HH_] That was my #1 fear too.
> [Visionary] Dancer being cloned?
> [Dancer] hey, youve seen how good the govt is at data protection.
> [HH_] Very likely.
> [Visionary] I think the clone would be an American citizen.
> *** killer_shrike has joined.
> [Dancer] Shrike again!!!!!!
> [CSFB] only if it was programmed to love White Jesus and guns
> [Dancer] Or his clone.
> [killer_shrike] Whoops
> [CSFB] hey again
> [Dancer] I dont think I could love guns
> [HH_] You don't even like them in movies.
> [CSFB] dancer - then you can't be an american, apparently, if sarah palin is any indication
> [Dancer] Unless they're being held by the right people.
> [CSFB] watching her interview was horrifying
> [Visionary] You won't want to see the video I had to tape for our game's promotion then.
> [HH_] Who did you shoot?
> [CSFB] "moose in headlights"
> [Dancer] Im okay with fictional violence.
> [Brian] Isn't it all fictional?
> [Dancer] BTW, quote of the week from my friend Shirley...
> [Visionary] Well, it's pretty fictional. And the video has me holding cap guns and the like.
> [Dancer] "John Barrowman is so hot Im thinking of becoming gay just so we can be together."
> [Visionary] I'm sure it'll be quite embarrassing.
> [HH_] Then we must see it.
> [CSFB] gay does not work that way
> [CSFB] gay men and lesbians? not actually interchangable
> [HH_] And here I thought you knew a porn website for everything.
> [CSFB] "GAY DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY! GOODNIGHT!"
> [Dancer] Dont tell me. Tell Shirley.
> [CSFB] it'd be as pointless as, say, being married to tom cruise
> [HH_] Maybe you could get smuggled into the US, Shep? I hear it's pretty easy from Canada.
> [HH_] You could pretend to be pharmaceutics.
> [Visionary] I'm all for Shirley coming to the Parodyverse for the conversation.
> [Visionary] I'll tell her anything you like.
> [Dancer] it might only be a matter of time \:\-\)
> [Dancer] But have you TRIED explaining the PV to anyone? Really??
> [Visionary] I can't even explain it to Lisa.
> [HH_] Not recently.
> [HH_] I did get an e-mail from a former employee who was freaked to find I actually had a life outside work.
> [CSFB] we should ask a relative newcomer, like champagne, how they would explain it
> [Dancer] Or why.
> [HH_] I'll be departing in a few minutes. It's midnight here.
> [Dancer] \:\-\(
> [Brian] Darn.
> [Dancer] But you called the meeting. You have to lock up afterwards.
> [HH_] leave the key under the mat.
> [Dancer] Familiar wods.
> [Dancer] Familiar words.
> [Visionary] I don't know any wods.
> [Dancer] Thats because you are the Devil.
> [Visionary] I miss being the Devil.
> [HH_] It's a part-time job now?
> [Brian] Who does the the other half?
> [Dancer] Well you would. because youre the Devil.
> [Visionary] It's really opportunistic work.
> [HH_] But I hear you get all the good tunes.
> [Visionary] That fiddle made of gold doesn't sound half as good as you would hope.
> [HH_] Well, I think I'll depart. Full day tomorrow, including some PV writing I hope.
> [HH_] Good night, all.
> [Dancer] Night night IW.
> [Visionary] All right... looking forward to reading the story up there.
> [Visionary] Good night!
> [CSFB] i might need to leave as well
> [Visionary] No you don't.
> [HH_] I'll leave the autorecorder to console you.
> [CSFB] ian, even
> *** HH_ is now known as HH_autorecorder
> [Visionary] *Put's Jay's big hat on autorecorder*
> [Dancer] yay!
> [Visionary] Classy.
> [Brian] which is that?
> [Dancer] now you're prolly going to die.
> [CSFB] hey, my sleep cycle is all fucked up
> [Dancer] It might neew a new chain.
> [Visionary] Meh. I've had ten years. It was a good run.
> [CSFB] i was here first
> [Visionary] What is it... 4 in the afternoon where you are?
> [Visionary] The elderly haven't even had dinner yet.
> [Dancer] Here its past midnight and the wind is howling.
> [CSFB] i woke up at 5 and couldn't fall asleep again
> [Visionary] Probably the same storm Shrike is dealing with.
> [Dancer] Later I think I'll go and take a walk in the rain.
> [Visionary] I woke up at 6:30, as usual, and won't go to bed until 1 am.
> [Dancer] Eeep
> [Brian] That almost sounds like the setitng for a poem.
> [Dancer] I like heavy rain. It makes me happy.
> [Brian] That sounds like a bumper sticker.
> [Visionary] I like the image of Dancer in a heavy rain.
> [Dancer] I walk to look out over the sea and it just feels right.
> [CSFB] agreed
> [Visionary] Don't fall down the cliff.
> [Dancer] hey, I'm wearing a nightie here!!
> [Visionary] You probably already know that, but still.
> [Visionary] Now I really like the image of Dancer in the rain.
> [CSFB] agreed \:\)
> [Dancer] I'll just be walking back to my cabin. Without being harassed by wolves.
> [Visionary] Where are you chatting from?
> [Dancer] Cabin 3.
> [Visionary] How does Cabin 3 have internet?
> [Dancer] James paid to have a phone line installed.
> [CSFB] we don't have to explain it
> [Dancer] James has broadband.
> [Visionary] Well, have him buy one for you too.
> [Dancer] I think James might think I was being a little bit forward. I've already hijacked his computer to talk with strange people across the planet.
> [Visionary] Although, since you're there in a nightie, I suppose that doesn't give him a lot of incentive to keep you in your own cabin.
> [Brian] That's what the Net is for.
> [Dancer] James would be happier of I was John Barrowman.
> [Brian] But would he look as got in a nightie?
> [Dancer] I'll be sure to ask him that sonmetime when i never want to use his computer again.
> [Visionary] Heh.
> *** AnimeJason has joined.
> [Visionary] Well, give him our thanks. And see about getting Shirley to stop by.
> [CSFB] hello
> [Dancer] Jason!!!!!!!!
> [AnimeJason] Hello
> [Visionary] Heya
> [AnimeJason] Looks like I missed Ian entirely
> [AnimeJason] I didn't miss Dancer though!
> [Dancer] I dont think James would be interested in Shirley. If if she does become gay.
> [Dancer] Even if she does become gay.
> [Brian] Hi, Jason!
> [Dancer] You only missed IW by about 10 minutes.
> [Visionary] How does Shirley feel about middle aged art directors?
> [Dancer] Rhiannon was here earlier too.
> [Visionary] You can't miss Dancer... she's the life of the party.
> [Dancer] Strangely, Vizh, weve not discussed it.
> [Dancer] Why, how do you feel about Shirley?
> [Visionary] Plus, that bright yellow text really stands out.
> [Visionary] I'm very pro-Shirley.
> [Dancer] I'll be sure to let her know.
> [Dancer] Jason, the QUESTION we've discussed is...
> [Dancer] "if you had to take over the LIFE of one superhero - friends, relations, problems etc - which would you pick and what would you do with it?
> [Dancer] hello???
> [AnimeJason] My answer is easy. Since all of my characters are sort of pieces of me, any of them will do.
> [Dancer] You know we really need a chat room that allows HTML
> [Dancer] What about mainstream published superheroes, Jason??
> [Visionary] What did you want to do with HTML?
> [Dancer] I dont know. Interesting fonts, different sizes. Same as the PVB.
> [Dancer] I could talk *really small* or else *REALLY BIG*
> [Visionary] You can do Bold and underlined
> [Dancer] I can?
> [Visionary] Yeah. Look to the left of where you enter text.
> [Dancer] I dont know if Im ready for dangerous stunt typing.
> [AnimeJason] I don't know, I hardly read any comics any more
> [Dancer] Oh is that what they mean?
> [Visionary] And you can change colors.So you can do a little bit, at least.
> [Dancer] Could be an old comic hero or situation, Hason.
> [Dancer] Jason/
> [Dancer] My fingers are getting tired.
> [Brian] Hason & Bryan should team up.
> [Visionary] }:)
> [Dancer] And the Devil is trying to lure me into colour changes.
> [Visionary] B\-\)
> [Dancer] And hes showing off.
> [CSFB] vizh is making the chat look like myspace text
> [CSFB] next: SPARKLES!!!!
> [Visionary] I don't know much about my space.
> [Visionary] I think it was banned at work.
> [AnimeJason] I just stick to regular old magenta
> [AnimeJason] And Dancer: If it counts for anything, I did re-write the current Batgirl character as fanfic a few years ago
> [Visionary] What about new and exciting Plum?
> [CSFB] i think myspace is banned at most jobs
> [Dancer] Anything that needs you to fill out online forms is banned at the spa.
> [Brian] I dislkike MySpace, It makes me head hurt when I look at some pages.
> [Dancer] Including the PVB!!!
> [AnimeJason] Why is the PVB banned?
> [Visionary] \:\-\) \:\-\( |-: :-\ ;\-\) \:\-D \:\-P \:\-O *-: \^_\^ \:\-X X-)
> [killer_shrike] I'm heading out guys. Good luck with the tenth anniversary
> *** killer_shrike has left.]
> [Brian] They hate us?
> [Brian] Monkies told them to?
> [Dancer] Our IT firewall prevents us posting any forms. So I can see the PVB but not post to it.
> [Visionary] Weasels run that spa.
> [AnimeJason] That's kind of silly
> [Dancer] Yes. Why would weasels run a spa?
> [Brian] For Money!
> [Brian] For Fame!
> [Visionary] Good answer.
> [Brian] For Power!
> [Brian] For Love!
> [Visionary] Well, the first one was.
> *** AlBHarper has joined.
> [Dancer] What would weasels do with money?
> [Visionary] Heya Al!
> [Dancer] Al!!!!!!!!
> [AnimeJason] Hello
> [Visionary] Blow it on chicken.
> [Brian] They would buy stuff.
> [AnimeJason] Buy weasel chow?
> [AlBHarper] HAPPY ANNIVERSARY ROUNDUP!
> [Brian] Like Hookers.
> [CSFB] al!
> [Dancer] Hookers would buy weasel chow??
> [AlBHarper] Hey there everyone!
> [Dancer] Al, the QUESTION.....
> [Dancer] "if you had to take over the LIFE of one superhero - friends, relations, problems etc - which would you pick and what would you do with it?
> [Visionary] Looks good in bold.
> [Dancer] I like to think so#
> [AlBHarper] Hmm
> [AnimeJason] I think Al
> [Brian] Dancer: Hookers might like Weasel Chow.
> [AnimeJason] Al's answer would be obvious
> [Dancer] Kirk would know, Brian.
> [Brian] Kirk knows Weasel Chow eating Hookers?
> [Brian] anyone.
> [Dancer] jason would be Batgirl, Kirk would be SPidey, IW would be Reed Richards, Shrike would be Superman, Vizh would be Bigby.
> [Visionary] Mainstreamish published.
> [AlBHarper] Who is Bigby?
> [CSFB] camwhores put shoes on their heads
> [Dancer] Hatty would be Thor.
> [Brian] And I don't know.
> [Visionary] Bigby Wolf from "Fables"
> [AlBHarper] Ah, still havent read that.
> [AlBHarper] I'd be the silver surfer - easy.
> [Brian] I read the first collection but non of the other stuff.
> [AnimeJason] Hey wait a minute...I thought you asked me two separate questions
> [Dancer] Vizh would really be Vision, and Yo would be Scarlet Witch.
> [Visionary] But then I'd be dead and Yo would be crazy.
> [Dancer] What would you do differently to the Surfer tho??
> [Visionary] And Lisa would be Dr. Doom
> [Brian] Sexy Doom
> [Dancer] What would she do differently???
> [Dancer] Apart from the whole bendis thing??
> [AlBHarper] Differently? I wouldn't be so hung up on getting back to Zenn Laa and Shalla Bal.
> [Dancer] Typical man.
> [AlBHarper] I mean - you can zoom around the universe on a silver surf board.
> [Visionary] It's cold out there. You should bring a sweater.
> [AlBHarper] Who cares what that sweet girl back home is up to these days. \:\)
> [AnimeJason] See, you can tell I don't read many comics these days, because I have no clue what you're all talking about
> [Dancer] See? Yet more proof that all men are slime.
> [Visionary] I imagine Lisa Von Doom would wipe out the majority of the Republican party.
> [AlBHarper] Pfft - I haven't read a comic since...early 2000s
> [Dancer] The Silver Surfer was arounf in the 60s.
> [Brian] I think I might be the only one here you still regularly reads comics.
> [AlBHarper] By the way -anyone know any good places to eat in Boston? I'm hungry.
> [CSFB] silver surfer seems to lack genitalia, tho
> [Dancer] Even Alan Alda? I was going to vote for him.
> [AnimeJason] Oh I read a few, but just for random amusement. I'm not really into them anymore.
> [Brian] You would notice that.
> [Visionary] That place above Cheers?
> [AlBHarper] Bah - only when Ron Lim draws him. Kirby had him in pants - why wear pants unless you want to protect your little Norrin?
> [AnimeJason] *waits for Kirk to chime in*
> [Brian] on which? Silver Surfer Babies or Sucky Writting?
> [AnimeJason] Sucky Writing
> [Dancer] No wonder he wanted to destroy planets.
> [Visionary] I'm not sure if I've been to Boston or not. I've been to Cape Cod. That's a nice area.
> [Dancer] Possibly a long way to go fot takeout tho.
> [Visionary] Shrike just left... I think his family is in Boston. He could have recommended something.
> [Dancer] for takeout
> [Brian] Cape Cod would makea great name for a PV Character.
> [AlBHarper] Cape Cod is a bit far - I can't really stroll there for a meal.
> [Brian] A fish that wears a cape: Genius!
> [AlBHarper] Damnit - I could have crashed the Shrike's house?
> [AnimeJason] Do they have sushi?
> [AlBHarper] Or is it a cape that thinks it's a fish?
> [Visionary] Well, he's down in New Orleans.
> [Dancer] Sushi was Al's favourite in the Eternals \:\-P
> [Visionary] But maybe his parents? Or maybe I'm just completely off.
> [Dancer] He might not be down in New orleans now. There was that storm coming.
> [AlBHarper] *waves to the HH autorecorder*
> [Dancer] he could be in Oz.
> [Brian] Ew.
> [CSFB] well, it's been fun ...
> [Dancer] Vizh put Hatty's wedding hat on the recorderbot and now hes going to die.
> [Visionary] You're not even going to stay to talk to Al?
> [CSFB] but i think i'll be going now
> [AlBHarper] Aww, you're leaving?
> [AlBHarper] I just got here!
> [AlBHarper] \:\(
> [AlBHarper] *guilt trip*
> [CSFB] i'm just feeling punchy
> [Dancer] We can always meet again next week, on the actual anniversary.
> [Brian] Punchy?
> [Visionary] How are we going to tell the difference?
> [Visionary] The actual anniversary of what?
> [Dancer] As long as i dont tell James what you all said about him.
> [Dancer] The actuall anniversay of the Parodyverse.
> [AlBHarper] Who is James? Your new man?
> [Visionary] This is true. The big party.
> [Brian] He's the guy with the Net connection.
> [Dancer] He's the PC-donor.
> [CSFB] heh
> [AlBHarper] Thanks James!
> [Visionary] He's a swell guy.
> [Dancer] if only we could get him John Barrowman's phone no.
> [Visionary] Dancer's going to bring her friend Shirley next time too.
> [Dancer] Then he could wrestle Shirley for it.
> [Dancer] And then they'd fall in love TM and be happy ever after.
> [AnimeJason] See now if you get an iphone you can visit the pvb and post all you want!
> [AlBHarper] Yes - bring Shirley - the PVB needs more chicks.
> [Dancer] i cant think why more chicks dont come around.
> [CSFB] mars needs women
> [AlBHarper] I know!
> [AlBHarper] Mars needs more green
> [Visionary] Money?
> [AlBHarper] So wait - which superhero would you be Dancer?
> [CSFB] or pink ;\)
> [AnimeJason] It just means we need to be more encouraging
> [AlBHarper] green, money, pink money, or all of the above
> [Dancer] I'v e completely lost this conversation now
> [Dancer] But Vizh will summarise.
> [AlBHarper] We'll let HH work it out later when he reads the auto record.
> [Visionary] Al was asking what your own answer to the QUESTION was.
> [AlBHarper] And yes, I asked that???
> [Dancer] Hmmm....
> [Visionary] Very good Al... She nearly got away with one.
> [Dancer] Yes, drattit
> [CSFB] ha ha ha
> [Visionary] The whole QUESTION thing is so unorganized since Manny isn't around to keep the beat.
> [Dancer] I was saying as much earlier.
> [Dancer] IW had a really feeble drumroll \:\-P
> [Dancer] I'm going to die now too, arent I]?
> [AlBHarper] I have no idea what you are talking about.
> [Visionary] Probably, but he was going to kill off the entire world anyway.
> [AlBHarper] I've never got the inside joke about Dancer's questions.
> [Visionary] She's just trying to avoid the QUESTION.
> [AlBHarper] *cries on the inside but looks damn hot*
> [Dancer] There's a QUESTION??
> [AlBHarper] I think you are all figments of my imagination anyway...so...
> [Visionary] I can take it down from the board, you know.
> [Visionary] Good. You can pick up the tab next week.
> [Dancer] Zing!
> [AlBHarper] *pinches himself to try and wake up*
> [AlBHarper] HELP! The crazy people are back in my head! \:\)
> [Dancer] How many times have I heard that? "I was pinching myself and I missed"
> [AlBHarper] lol. that has so so many connotations...
> [AlBHarper] Eww, did I just use "lol"
> [AlBHarper] I hate that term/acronym/whatever
> [Dancer] Im really trying to think of a superheroine here that Id actually want to trade places with
> [CSFB] LOL INTERNET
> [AlBHarper] How about Lara Croft.
> [AlBHarper] Then you could have Brad Pitt as your hubby.
> [Dancer] Okay, there are a few PV ones I;d be okay with. Lisa, Yo, Sersi, Champagne...
> [Dancer] But otherwise...
> [Dancer] Does Buffy count?
> [Visionary] Sure.
> [AnimeJason] Yes
> [AlBHarper] I demand more male Yo! It's all female Yo this - female Yo that!
> [AnimeJason] *censors Al*
> [Dancer] And I'd stick with Angel and go find a cure for that gypsy curse so we could boink properly.
> [Visionary] He'll always be male Yo to me.
> [Visionary] Or improperly as the mood strikes.
> [Dancer] And also avoid seasons 6 & 7.
> [AnimeJason] All you need is a freshly baked cherry pie and some blood
> [Visionary] Now you're talking.
> [CSFB] angelina is getting too skinny
> [AlBHarper] I wonder if Yo will show for the anniversary - we haven't heard from him/her in ages eh?
> [AnimeJason] *wonders if anyone will get that*
> [Visionary] Sadly, no.
> [Dancer] Same with everybody.
> [AlBHarper] I can say I didnt Jase
> [Dancer] Vizh, invite everybody.
> [AlBHarper] So Vizh did you get my email?
> [Visionary] Come one, come all!
> [Dancer] We should do another chat this time next week and invite eveyrone.
> [Visionary] Yes I did. I'll be writing back soon, I'm sure.
> [AlBHarper] Cool
> [AnimeJason] Didn't you see Stephen King's "Thinner"?
> [Visionary] But in general, yeah... head on out towards Annapolis and I'll find someplace to feed you.
> [AlBHarper] Another chat would be fun
> [Dancer] You should ask him for artwork, Al. Signed artwork.
> [AlBHarper] Oh yeah!
> [AnimeJason] White man...from town
> [AlBHarper] Good thinking Dancer!
> [AlBHarper] ;\)
> [Dancer] It could be worth a fortune on e-bay later when his video comes out.
> [Visionary] I had to sign a magazine cover.
> [Visionary] Just one.
> [AlBHarper] I want the Silver Surfer and Sersi and Al B. and the Bonsai Kittens and.... etc...*drives Vizh insane*
> [Visionary] Our game designer was apparently asked for his autograph in Germany.
> [Brian] But they're weird.
> [AnimeJason] Your game designer is David Hasselhoff??
> [Dancer] lol
> [AlBHarper] A bunch of Japanese school kids once asked me for my autograph.
> [Visionary] Not that I know of, but I've never seen them in the same room.
> [AnimeJason] Why did they ask you?
> [AlBHarper] Does that make Vizh Pamela Anderson???
> [Visionary] His signature fetches $50 on ebay.
> [Dancer] First they ask you for your autorgraph, then they ask you to add your phone number.
> [AlBHarper] 50? Pfft - a cool hundred easily.
> [Visionary] I'm afraid it's getting too common. Hatty's the hot sig now.
> [AlBHarper] Then they ask you to transfer money from the dead president of nigeria that they stole.
> [AlBHarper] And once you do that - the letters stop! Those damn kids!
> [Dancer] Okay, James is home. Looks like I get to walk home in the rain now.
> [AlBHarper] Bah - he should drive you
> [AlBHarper] Or...let you stay over...
> [Dancer] its been lovely talking with you all. Lets do it again next Driday.
> [Dancer] Friday
> [Visionary] No he shouldn't. It's a much better mental image this way.
> [AlBHarper] JAMES: LET SARAH STAY!!!
> [Dancer] Vizh will invite everyone
> [Visionary] Always great to talk to you again, Sarah.
> [AnimeJason] Or at least walk you there with an umbrella
> [CSFB] have fun, sarah
> [CSFB] \:\)
> [AnimeJason] Cya later Dancer
> [Visionary] Later!
> [Dancer] Good night all. lots of love.
> [AlBHarper] See you then, if you must go really...
> *** Dancer has left.]
> [AlBHarper] Aww
> [AlBHarper] Bloody James...
> [Visionary] How's the trip going so far?
> [AlBHarper] Ok, busy..lots of driving which is kinda different.
> [Visionary] Well, it's 1 am there, so that might factor in too.
> [AlBHarper] I drove to Amherst today.
> [Visionary] Yeah, Yo said the same thing when she was out here.
> [Brian] I think maybe also leave.
> [Visionary] All right... Have a good night Brian!
> [AlBHarper] "Drop the "h" or get the "h" out of Am-erst" as the locals so
> [AlBHarper] say
> [AlBHarper] See you
> [Brian] see you all around.
> [Brian] Because yes, I can see you.
> *** Brian has left.]
> [AlBHarper] And lots of emails from people back home - "Brendon we need this yesterday"
> [AlBHarper] Sucks to be them is all I'll say. \:\)
> [Visionary] Nice to know you're important.
> *** YourName has joined.
> *** YourName has left.]
> [CSFB] i really am going now, guys
> [AlBHarper] Damn
> [AlBHarper] Ok see ya CSFB!
> [CSFB] it was good to see you \:\)
> [Visionary] All right... get some sleep Kirk
> [AlBHarper] Shame I couldn't come out to Seattle this trip
> [AnimeJason] Looks like when Dancer left all the life drained out of the chat
> [CSFB] later
> *** CSFB has left.]
> [AlBHarper] He "sounded" tired.
> [Visionary] It's the yellow text... it's energizing, but you crash when it's gone.
> [AlBHarper] Bloody drugs.
> [Visionary] Yeah, I think he's beat. I am too, really... been a long work week.
> [Visionary] I'm hanging around online in case someone on the West Coast needs me though.
> [AnimeJason] I'm glad this week is over
> [AlBHarper] Ok, well I need some food so - perhaps it really is the end of the chat?
> [AlBHarper] Who is on the west coast?
> [Visionary] All right... There will be another.
> [Visionary] Most of the art team I work with is out in Portland Oregon.
> [AlBHarper] Oh I thought you meant a pardodyverse chatter might be logging in.
> [AlBHarper] heh heh
> [Visionary] Nah. They don't need my help.
> [AlBHarper] I was trying to think who
> [AlBHarper] So can you say what game you're working on yet?
> [Visionary] Aside from Kirk, I'm not sure we have anyone.
> [Visionary] Yes indeed. There are trailers and stuff for it.
> [AlBHarper] Really? what is it?
> [Visionary] It's called "Damnation"... coming this winter to the X-Box360, PS3 and PC
> [Visionary] It's being published by Codemasters
> [AlBHarper] Sweet I'll look it up before we meet so i can ask for your autograph!
> [AlBHarper] And yell out "Hey - aren't you that dude who designed Damnation"
> [AnimeJason] Preferably in a crowded place
> [Visionary] I might not answer.
> [AlBHarper] And plan lots of other fun things...still want to meet? \:D
> [AlBHarper] I didn't embarrass MangaShoggoth too much - or the Enemy/Grim Reaper
> [Visionary] Can one embarrass the Shoggoth?
> [AlBHarper] Although I did beat his ass at Tekken
> [AlBHarper] I don't think so. He kept trying to phase me with his zanny British humour - but I was having none of it.
> [Visionary] Good for you. Stand firm.
> [AlBHarper] Anyway, time to go get some clam chowder.
> [AlBHarper] And no - that's not a euphemism (spelling?)
> [Visionary] All right... Enjoy, and I'll e-mail you back sometime soon.
> [AlBHarper] ;\)
> [Visionary] I should hope not. I don't even want to contemplate what it would mean.
> [AlBHarper] No worries! Safe night all and fun week end.
> [Visionary] You too... Later!
> [AlBHarper] The mind boggles - we'll let HHauto work it out too.
> [AlBHarper] *waves goodbye*
> *** AlBHarper has left.]
> [Visionary] All right... I'd say we're about done then.
> [Visionary] I'm going to head out myself. I'll be reading your stories later tonight...
> [Visionary] Night guys!
> *** Visionary has left.]
> *** AnimeJason has left.]
> *** YourName has joined.
> *** YourName has left.]
> *** JJJ has joined.
> [JJJ] Ian, sorry I missed the chat, but I at least wanted to take a moment to celebrate 10 years of the PVB and your hundreds of thousands, if not millions
> [JJJ] of witty, pointed and marvellously intricate stories. Congratulations. JJJ
> [JJJ] Oops, dropped the words "words of" after the break.
> [JJJ] Out.
> *** JJJ has left.]
> *** YourName has joined.
> *** YourName has left.]
