Intrepid Homoludens

Yes, I much prefer this Barney over that misshapen fuschia lobotomy that Moos is attracted to.

Barney is a dinosaur. A bright fuschia coloured one. With a green chest. And panoramic mono-teeth. And misshapen arm thingies. And he gets lobotomized weekly. And he loves kids. But not like Michael Jackson loves them. And he has his own t.v. show. He sing songs on the show with these kids. And the kids act like they're on crack because they're suspiciously overly happy.

And I've found the fourth mystery:

What the hell are these 'invites' supposed to do for you, anyway?

Ha! You may make fun of me now, but you just wait until you meet a gorgeous supermodel who wants you. You'll be begging to use me! Begging, I tell you!! .....

Okayokay, if anyone does that - replace the hellspawns with Barneys - I would cut off my arm of a copy of Doom3 just play that mod!!

So? We still reserve the prerogative to call you a n00b. n00b!

His eyes are disturbing. And that mono-tooth smile. And those misshapen arm thingies.

Sorry to dredge up more misgivings, but: Sam & Max: Freelance Police trailer *still pissed* [watches trailer.... again....]

Still, I'd rather have that than this any day: Any day at all.

LOL, that was fun. Thank you, Mr. Marek. I felt bad for the Sam character, hee hee....

BREWSTER THE ROOSTER Farmer Whitey was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers called pullets and eight or ten roosters, whose job was to fertilize the eggs. Whitey kept records and any rooster that didn't perform went into the soup pot and was replaced. That took an awful lot of Whitey's time, so he got a set of tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone so Whitey could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report simply by listening to the bells. Whitey's favorite rooster was old Brewster, a very fine specimen he was, too. But on this particular morning Whitey noticed old Brewster's bell hadn't rung at all! Whitey went to investigate. The other roosters were chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing. The pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. BUT, to Whitey's amazement, Brewster had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Whitey was so proud of Brewster, he entered him in the County Fair. Brewster became an overnight sensation among the judges and won not one, but the two highest honors in the Fair. The judges not only awarded Brewster the No Bell Piece Prize, but they also awarded him the Pullet Surprise as well. Clearly Brewster was a democrat. Who else could figure out how to win two of the most politically biased awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populous and screwing them.

Welcome, Rodi.

Well, then I'm sorry for my optimism. Don't expect me engage you in any of that any more. I'll be serious with you from now on.

I don't know. I thought it was all just lighthearted. deadworm, I'm sorry if I hurt you. It was just a joke (as was my other post at AG). If you're having a bad day let me know. You know we can never read each other's faces and tone of voice on the Internet, so you had no idea I was joking around and I had no idea you may be in a bad mood.

Why do think I love him so much, vimes? I think I'm pregnant again.

I don't own a dog. Should I get one so you can kill it?

Alien Hominid's got love handles. He needs to cut down on chomping those FBI agents.

You shrinking poltroon of a spineless wimp. Might I suffice to say that I would be the only survivor around here if that ever truly happened (and it probably will)? Heh, I just might even thrive on it!

Oh puh-LEEZ!! I'd sooner be just as safe around Indiana Jones.

And subtle. Which is why I want to play good guy with a questionable past - made enemies, killed a few innocents, then turned around and started on a path to righteousness but with some lapses here and there. Might make for an interesting turnout.

Right. Hey, you're an attractive fellow.* And those damn stormtroopers make me wanna go back and play some Jedi Knight II. *Oh, please! Just because I'm qu33r doesn't mean I can't give a perfectly platonic compliment to a guy.

Not me. I plan on playing the good guy - with an edge. A hero who at first seems evil but a bit into the story perhaps makes amends but not quite. Too many times people want to play evil, and I for once prefer to avoid that. I'd rather not be a walking cliche with a sword and horns. That's so....predictable for a gamer now. When does Fable release? September? October?

Chris, is that you kneeling in the pic?
