[20:58] <AFK_RD> hehehe!
[20:59] <AFK_RD> yeah, we are all concentrated in that area
[20:59] <Dr_Zhie> yep
[20:59] <AFK_RD> id say 'weird' but that would just be redundant
[21:05] <AFK_RD> he put up cover pics from the first and second issue
[21:05] <AFK_RD> nice!
[21:06] <AFK_RD> the second issue one is better
[21:08] <Dr_Zhie> first issue as in issue zero, right?
[21:10] <AFK_RD> hmmm, it says first, i think it's the first one
they're doing
[21:10] <AFK_RD> which could be the zero issue
[21:10] <Dr_Zhie> the first one they're doing is issue zero, and
then issue one comes out two weeks later
[21:11] <AFK_RD> nope, strike that
[21:11] <AFK_RD> #0 is something else
[21:15] *** DJ_DAB has joined #ThunderCats

[21:15] <AFK_RD> hi

[21:18] <Dr_Zhie> how's it going?
[21:19] <DJ_DAB> not tooo badly here doc z
[21:26] <Dr_Zhie> RD - yeah, you're right about the cover for the
second issue, i like that one better than the others
[21:26] <Dr_Zhie> then again, i'm not one to like crowded images
[21:26] <AFK_RD> it's more dramatic
[21:26] <AFK_RD> heheh
[21:30] <Dr_Zhie> and you're right about it being more dramatic, too
[21:31] <Dr_Zhie> hmmm...a pending member...you still making them do
that whole 'tell me about yerself' message first?
[21:32] <AFK_RD> yeah
[21:32] <AFK_RD> still waiting for his reply, too
[21:32] <Dr_Zhie> heh, you make Ford write one?
[21:32] <AFK_RD> i wouldn't have, but he did anyway
[21:33] <Dr_Zhie> lol
[21:33] <AFK_RD> and i replied warning him about our weirdness
[21:33] <Dr_Zhie> awww...
[21:33] <AFK_RD> hehehe...
[21:33] <Dr_Zhie> you should have told him this was the most
respectable club on all of New Thundera...
[21:33] <AFK_RD> lol!
[21:33] <Dr_Zhie> ...and then had us all post the raunchiest
thundersmut we could find...
[21:33] <AFK_RD> even i don't believe that!
[21:34] <Dr_Zhie> ...it would have been like hazing or something...
[21:34] <AFK_RD> and the whole lemon contest too
[21:34] <Dr_Zhie> i know!
[21:34] <Dr_Zhie> what a great time for something like this to
happen, eh?
[21:34] <AFK_RD> i know!
[21:34] <Dr_Zhie> i just figured he'd probably look at the list and
say, "yeah, well, i can do my own research"
[21:35] <Dr_Zhie> but no...he actually went everywhere i told him
to...
[21:35] <AFK_RD> except the tot, though
[21:35] <AFK_RD> or at least he hasn't posted anything there
[21:36] <Dr_Zhie> well, he hasn't been here yet...though i suppose
spending Friday night in a chat room isn't quite everyone's cup of
catnip tea
[21:36] <Dr_Zhie> true
[21:36] <Dr_Zhie> 'course, they aren't as active
[21:36] <Dr_Zhie> not anymore they aren't
[21:37] <AFK_RD> hehehe, besides, we'd just be the ones posting
there anyway
[21:37] *** DJ_DAB has left #ThunderCats
[21:37] <Dr_Zhie> 'course, i did list the tcatgr first of the
message boards he should go to
[21:37] <AFK_RD> i noticed!
[21:37] *** fianna has joined #ThunderCats
[21:37] *** X2 sets mode: +o fianna
[21:38] <AFK_RD> hehehe, woof!
[21:38] <fianna> Hi!
[21:38] <Dr_Zhie> and i did tell him that the treasures list was
more fanfiction stuff than anything else
[21:38] <AFK_RD> my ego grew about 3.14159%
[21:38] <Dr_Zhie> Fianna!
[21:38] <fianna> Woof!
[21:38] <AFK_RD> he did tell me hed rather not read fanfiction
[21:38] <Dr_Zhie> and woof to you too
[21:38] <AFK_RD> hi woofy
[21:38] <AFK_RD> said he doesnt want to get ideas that arent from
the original show
[21:38] <Dr_Zhie> RD - makes sense...otherwise he might start
confusing the fact from fiction, y'know?
[21:39] <Dr_Zhie> yep
[21:39] <AFK_RD> especially our facts
[21:39] <fianna> I'm restraining myself from peppering the lists
with my "greatest hits"
[21:39] <fianna> We'll corrupt him
[21:39] <AFK_RD> mwahahahaha!!!
[21:39] <AFK_RD> so you know about it?
[21:40] <fianna> Soon, he'll be looking for excuses to add evil
human wizards, green dogs and king cheetahs to the plot!
[21:40] <AFK_RD> it's all thanks to zhie!
[21:40] <fianna> ::bows before cheetah greatness::
[21:40] <fianna> How did you score this coup, ever-suprising one?
[21:40] <AFK_RD> you get to have the us and anything else you want
[21:41] <Dr_Zhie> aw, shucks...and my intention wasn't to get him
here...i was just trying to shut up the little maggots posting all
that crap info on the other message board to him
[21:41] <fianna> How did it go down?
[21:41] <Dr_Zhie> http://www.comicon.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?
ubb=get_topic&f=13&t=001101&p=7
[21:41] <fianna> brb - this I gotta see
[21:41] <Dr_Zhie> i just posted 'Dr.Zhie's guide to the Thundercat
Universe Online'
[21:42] <Dr_Zhie> and I didn't let Smithers help, lol
[21:42] <AFK_RD> k
[21:43] <AFK_RD> yeah those two guys were annoying
[21:44] <fianna> bak
[21:44] <AFK_RD> wb
[21:44] <Dr_Zhie> wb
[21:44] <fianna> Friendly, but tenacious...somehow, that just fits
so well
[21:45] <fianna> So what are our famed newbie's impressions of the
group?
[21:45] <Dr_Zhie> i figured saying 'f-ing nuts' would have canned
the entire thundercats comic project on the spot
[21:45] <fianna> True...
[21:45] <fianna> Or has he put forth any yet?
[21:46] <Dr_Zhie> he's posted a couple times, once just about 15/20
minutes ago
[21:46] <fianna> cool! I'll go to yahoo and look it up
[21:48] <AFK_RD> almost 200 posts and june's not done, damn
[21:48] <AFK_RD> my master plan is almost complete!
[21:49] <Dr_Zhie> i bet we'll start getting an influx of new members
if word gets out that this guy's in the group
[21:49] <AFK_RD> and al's not here to whip my ego to boot!
[21:49] <fianna> I am just twitchy about this whole situation...this
is so damned cool
[21:49] <Dr_Zhie> i know!
[21:49] <AFK_RD> it is!
[21:49] <AFK_RD> and we did get a new guy from brazil
[21:49] <fianna> ::twitch twitch::
[21:49] <fianna> New comics
[21:49] <fianna> New art
[21:49] <fianna> New member
[21:50] <AFK_RD> (s)
[21:50] <fianna> Famous!
[21:50] <Dr_Zhie> i went to the comic store tonight to add the issue
one copy signed by Ford to my order, lol
[21:50] <AFK_RD> heheeh!
[21:50] <fianna> As writers yourselves, I'm sure you understand that
this is, well, how to state this?
[21:51] <fianna> This demonstrates that there is an avenue for going
legitimate
[21:51] <AFK_RD> yes, but i prefer staying amature
[21:52] <AFK_RD> when you legit you have to answer to marketting and
stuff
[21:52] <Dr_Zhie> i only ordered the #0 signed by the artist issue,
because i didn't know who Ford was one week ago...
[21:52] <fianna> I don't want to sound like a flippin' groupie here,
but I've REALLY been resisting posting my whole library for the past
hour
[21:52] <AFK_RD> do not!
[21:52] <Dr_Zhie> i'd like to eventually write children's books
[21:52] <fianna> ::twitch twitch::
[21:52] <Dr_Zhie> Fianna - control yourself, pup
[21:52] <fianna> I am
[21:52] <fianna> I'll be good
[21:52] <Dr_Zhie> last thing we need to do is freak this guy out...
[21:53] <fianna> I know it would be a fatal blow to coolness
[21:53] <AFK_RD> be good! don't scare 'em away!
[21:53] <AFK_RD> besides, he won't read fanfiction, he told me
[21:53] <fianna> I'll continue my repost of Ties at the same pace,
no mass mailings
[21:53] <AFK_RD> which is probably why he hasn't joined the tot
[21:53] <Dr_Zhie> ...besides, as I told RD, it would be more fun to
scare him aware with a new and exciting thundersmut story...
[21:53] <AFK_RD> well, there was that one i have to do
[21:53] * fianna leashes himself and ties himself to the bed
[21:53] <AFK_RD> hehehe
[21:54] <AFK_RD> i'll have to get the poodle to watch you now
[21:54] * fianna gnaws his squeak-toy to rubber shreds
[21:54] <AFK_RD> just finish the one you're doing now
[21:54] <fianna> Ties? Or Courtship
[21:54] <AFK_RD> courship
[21:54] <Dr_Zhie> that's right...you wouldn't want to disappoint
your fans, er, um, well...perhaps you have a fan you'd disappoint,
RD...but even that's debateable...
[21:55] <fianna> I have a fan!
[21:55] <fianna> Tw2o of them
[21:55] <AFK_RD> lol
[21:55] <Dr_Zhie> the guy's not going to read it, so just post
it...business as usual, guys
[21:55] <AFK_RD> exactly
[21:55] <fianna> One in the hall, the other in the kitchen
[21:55] <Dr_Zhie> Fianna - I meant RD has very few fans
[21:55] <fianna> Saves on the AC
[21:55] <Dr_Zhie> I'm sure you have many fans, Fianna
[21:56] <AFK_RD> and most of mine are my multiples
[21:56] <fianna> The next part of Courtship features RD's first
attempt at seducing a female to the dark side!
[21:56] <AFK_RD> lol, i always new it was a comedy
[21:56] <Dr_Zhie> oh, that outta be rich...
[21:56] <fianna> I'll give you one freebee
[21:57] <fianna> It's Spark :)
[21:57] <AFK_RD> well, i'm gonna die now
[21:57] <AFK_RD> i'll suffer a zhy death
[21:57] <Dr_Zhie> i figure i'm going to be raking in the dough after
the end of this story with all the sex therapy those four are going
to need...
[21:57] <fianna> But remember, RD has assiduously denied ever having
sexual relations with either LT or Benni!
[21:57] <fianna> Strictly platonic
[21:58] <AFK_RD> well, someones gonna need some kind of therapy
[21:58] <fianna> That's my work-around for including
TygrisHawk ::grin::
[21:58] <AFK_RD> and you wonder why i turned gay
[21:58] <Dr_Zhie> lol
[21:59] <fianna> This is gonna be a long one
[21:59] <fianna> Maybe the longest piece I've done since Ties
[21:59] <fianna> One thing he's going to have to watch out for...
[21:59] <AFK_RD> yeah, they tend to get more involved ith time
[22:00] <fianna> I've never successfully completed a straight TCat
story since joining this club!
[22:00] <AFK_RD> i think we should have a tag that says 'fan
fiction' on it
[22:00] <fianna> Sons of Man 2 wallows in limbo
[22:00] <Dr_Zhie> how about just FF
[22:00] <Dr_Zhie> like with OT posts
[22:00] <AFK_RD> thats right, and id like mr gilmore to be able to
finish his work, too
[22:01] <AFK_RD> yeah! that'll work
[22:01] <fianna> And I've got a follow-up for ties that will never
see daylight
[22:01] <Dr_Zhie> really? i'd love to see a sequel for ties
[22:01] <AFK_RD> maybe you need to go on sabatical, like tt, only
not permanent
[22:01] <fianna> You liked Ties?
[22:01] <Dr_Zhie> yep
[22:01] <AFK_RD> that way you can work on som 2
[22:02] <fianna> But these riffs are so addictive!
[22:02] <fianna> Face it, you guys are much more interesting
characters
[22:02] <AFK_RD> damn it i'm gonna squeeze a dramatic fic out of you
if i have to put you in my full-body sized juicer
[22:03] <fianna> I think YOU should have the comic book :)
[22:03] <fianna> "The Adventures of RD Rivero"
[22:03] <AFK_RD> gah!
[22:03] <AFK_RD> that's not fit to print on the grounds of boredom
and insanity!
[22:03] <fianna> "And his Merry Misfits"
[22:04] <AFK_RD> we'll need bad guys
[22:04] <AFK_RD> and some sort of plot
[22:04] <fianna> Question : If you could see one fanfic turned into
a graphic novel, what would it be?
[22:04] <Dr_Zhie> Fianna - i must have read ties three or four times
when it was first posted way back when, it's a good story
[22:04] <fianna> Thankees!
[22:04] <fianna> Ooo, now I'm obligated :)
[22:05] <Dr_Zhie> being the vain egotist, i'd want sins, lol...
[22:05] <AFK_RD> i want to see bengali's new art and the two faces
of evil
[22:05] <fianna> You know, I've been told from time to time that
Ties went over well, but I got so few comments on it
[22:05] <Dr_Zhie> woohoo, it's thundering out over here :)
[22:05] <fianna> Favorable ones, but few
[22:05] <AFK_RD> but i can see the bengali one as a movie, actually
[22:06] <Dr_Zhie> i can't remember if i ever commented on it
[22:06] <AFK_RD> there are always few comments
[22:06] <fianna> I'd like to see First Casualty, of course, but Sons
of Man has more action
[22:06] <Dr_Zhie> you know what would have been good? the new
thundera rpg
[22:06] <AFK_RD> that's something i learned from fu.net, comments
are always few unless its porn
[22:06] <AFK_RD> and even then it's just 'this sucks, gross'
[22:06] <Dr_Zhie> yep
[22:06] <Dr_Zhie> actually, i get more than just that on the porns i
post
[22:06] <AFK_RD> hehe!
[22:06] <Dr_Zhie> but intermission has maybe two comments over there
[22:07] <fianna> Apart from my ego-trips, Virtually Anything Goes
would be a dream come true
[22:07] <Dr_Zhie> and the other stories even fewer
[22:07] <AFK_RD> pokeporn was genious
[22:07] <fianna> Maybe then, Bast would finish it :P
[22:07] <AFK_RD> even the name
[22:07] <AFK_RD> someone's finishing it for her, though
[22:07] <Dr_Zhie> Virtually would be awesome, but I'd rather see it
as an expanded reg. ol' novel
[22:07] <AFK_RD> they recently posted more fo rit
[22:07] <fianna> PokePorn, that one got you in trouble :P
[22:07] <fianna> Pika Pika!
[22:07] <Dr_Zhie> not much trouble...heh heh
[22:08] <Dr_Zhie> nothing Team Rocket couldn't handle!
[22:08] <fianna> Yeah, but they lost most of the original characters
[22:08] <AFK_RD> hehehehe!
[22:08] <fianna> alot of guys took the option and bailed out
[22:08] <AFK_RD> hmmm
[22:09] <fianna> Kith, Ian, several others
[22:09] <Dr_Zhie> i'd like to see what kind of plot they're going
for on it before i absolutely give them free reign over my character
[22:09] <fianna> Striclty speaking, Grak is my son, so they can use
him as they choose.
[22:09] <fianna> Just keep him in character
[22:10] <Dr_Zhie> yeah, if they keep the originals in character, i
don't see a problem with it
[22:10] <fianna> Tis a noble Irish pup, he'd never go evil :)
[22:10] <AFK_RD> not until...
[22:12] <AFK_RD> oh, anyone of one you planning to be here tomorrow?
[22:12] <Dr_Zhie> what bugs me is i can usually get some inkling of
what's going on in the plot within a page or two of reading...with
this one, because of all the characters they're adding, it's got me
stumped, which is why i think i held back on telling them they could
use dr.zhie in limited capacity
[22:12] <Dr_Zhie> i'll probably be here in the evening, or TW's
always logged in
[22:12] <Dr_Zhie> you need a 'copy of the minutes' so to speak?
[22:12] <AFK_RD> yeah, heh heh
[22:13] <AFK_RD> i've actually gotten regular at it, lately
[22:13] <Dr_Zhie> either the lion or I should be able to
[22:13] <AFK_RD> thanks!
[22:13] <fianna> I wont be. The missus is working Friday nights, so
she reserves Saturdays unto herself :P
[22:14] <AFK_RD> heheheh
[22:15] <fianna> I got some of my books unpacked
[22:15] <AFK_RD> been reading?
[22:15] <fianna> Wanna take a look at some of the selections in the
REAL library of Ayrynn?
[22:16] <AFK_RD> sure, where is it?
[22:16] <fianna> 12 volumes of Time-Life's Enchanted World series
[22:16] <fianna> collected 13 years ago
[22:17] <fianna> 8 Source Books for Advanced Dungeons and Dragons
[22:17] <AFK_RD> hehehe!
[22:17] <AFK_RD> i remember those time life books
[22:17] <fianna> including original editions of the Player's
Handbook and Dungeon Master's Guide
[22:17] <fianna> Stole 'em from the West Unity Public Library myself
[22:18] <AFK_RD> lol
[22:18] <fianna> Macmillin's illustrated encyclopedia of dinosaurs
[22:18] <fianna> Book is over an inch thick
[22:18] <fianna> Beautiful art
[22:18] * Dr_Zhie covers her ears so she doesn't have to report
Fianna to the library police.
[22:19] <fianna> Ooopsy :D
[22:19] <Dr_Zhie> don't worry, ears are covered
[22:19] <Dr_Zhie> and i've been known to liberate a book from time
to time
[22:19] <fianna> Robotech Art, volumes 1, 2 and 3
[22:19] <Dr_Zhie> okay, just one, but still...
[22:19] <AFK_RD> i stole two
[22:20] <AFK_RD> and sold one on ebay!!!
[22:20] <AFK_RD> ::runs::
[22:20] <fianna> I moved so much as a kid, I just took them along!
[22:20] <Dr_Zhie> oy...
[22:20] <AFK_RD> mwahahahaha!!!
[22:20] <fianna> Matt Wagner's Mage graphic novels, Volumes one and
two
[22:20] <fianna> Had number 3, but it got wet
[22:21] <Dr_Zhie> I liberated Fawn M Brodie's "Thomas Jefferson"
from the Cudahy High School library...figured no one was reading it
and half the kids didn't know who he was anyway, they didn't deserve
to have such a fine book in their collection
[22:21] <AFK_RD> ooo!
[22:22] <fianna> Several graphic novels, including Outlanders,
Grendel, Blade of the Immortal, and a hardcover edition of Kingdom
Come
[22:22] <fianna> Zhie, you felon, you
[22:22] <fianna> A book of Irish poetry, another of Irish short
stories
[22:22] <Dr_Zhie> i was 17 at the time, i can only be charged as a
minor...
[22:23] <Dr_Zhie> how big is your collection of books, Fianna?
[22:23] <fianna> Several self-help books : Atkins, Mental Power, etc
[22:23] <fianna> Hugish
[22:23] <fianna> Huge-
[22:23] <fianna> ish
[22:23] <Dr_Zhie> hundreds, thousands, tenthousands...an estimate
[22:23] <fianna> Several Christian books
[22:24] <fianna> Over 100 pieces
[22:24] <fianna> Counting the paperbacks
[22:24] <AFK_RD> ha, mine is bigger
[22:24] <Dr_Zhie> i'd guess we're at about 1500 to 1700
[22:24] <fianna> Ms Fianna has a fit when I buy more
[22:24] <fianna> Yoiks!
[22:24] <AFK_RD> wow
[22:24] <Dr_Zhie> i know
[22:24] <Dr_Zhie> all in a two bedroom apartment
[22:24] <AFK_RD> i've got ~300
[22:24] <fianna> Where on earth do you sit?
[22:25] <Dr_Zhie> but it comes with the job description
[22:25] <Dr_Zhie> sometimes on top of the books
[22:25] <AFK_RD> i'd love to have that many books
[22:25] <Dr_Zhie> there's just boxes every where
[22:25] <Dr_Zhie> and then there's the comics
[22:26] <fianna> One of my favorites is "Instant Status, or, How to
Become a Pillar of the Upper Middle Class"
[22:26] <fianna> I've got my comix too :)
[22:26] <fianna> Which ones do you collect?
[22:26] <fianna> I tossed alot of mine recently
[22:27] <fianna> Had near complete runs of Justice and DP7

[22:27] <fianna> Also, several Ralph Snarts
[22:27] <fianna> Zhyan!
[22:27] <AFK_RD> hi
[22:27] * fianna hands Zhyan a dirty sweatsock
[22:27] <fianna> Enjoy!
[22:27] <Zhyan> hi
[22:28] <Zhyan> mmmm, tasty...
[22:28] <fianna> Novel wise, I have alot of Andre Norton, and of
course, a near-complete library of Parker's Spenser novels
[22:28] <fianna> Dennis Miller, "The
[22:29] <Dr_Zhie> Fianna - he's got about 8 to 10 thousand comics
under the loft bed and in other various boxes in the living room and
such
[22:29] <fianna> rants"
[22:29] <Dr_Zhie> he=Faero
[22:29] <fianna> Wow
[22:29] <fianna> Any particular series?
[22:29] <Dr_Zhie> my titles are limited to Golddigger, Harley Quinn,
TMNT, Ogenki Clinic and a few others, and picking up the old
classics illustrated when i can find them
[22:30] <fianna> Not familiar with those
[22:30] <fianna> Well, TMNT. of course
[22:30] <Dr_Zhie> oh, and i picked up Animaniacs back when that was
being published
[22:31] <fianna> Wacko! Yacko!! DOT!!!
[22:31] <Dr_Zhie> Harley Quinn's a Batman villain spinoff...about a
psychologist turned wacko and bad
[22:31] <fianna> Joker's girlfriend?
[22:31] <Dr_Zhie> well, wacko in the un-warnerish way
[22:31] <Dr_Zhie> yep
[22:32] <fianna> Saw her on the cartoon!
[22:32] <fianna> I remember thinking she had potential
[22:32] <AFK_RD> always wackos go evil
[22:32] <Dr_Zhie> Golddigger is a fantasy one, they've got
werecheetahs and weretigers, and they did a thundercats spoof for a
while called edgeguard
[22:33] <fianna> I've thought about introducing Justice in a riff,
but, well, nobody would live through it...
[22:33] <Dr_Zhie> oh, i get furrlough, too
[22:33] <fianna> A furry?
[22:33] <Dr_Zhie> Ogenki Clinic...heh, well, that's part of how I
figured out Dr.Zhie's occupation...
[22:34] <Dr_Zhie> yeah, though it's kinda sporatic in how they
publish it
[22:34] <Dr_Zhie> i pick up other stuff here and there
[22:34] <fianna> I used to read some Continuity Comics, and gave
up. The art was decent, and the ideas were good, but the writing
positively stank
[22:35] <fianna> My favorite game was re-doing the dialog
[22:35] <fianna> Megalith was good
[22:35] <fianna> Hero was a young kid with olympic potential,
kidnapped and put onto a training camp
[22:36] <Dr_Zhie> Faero's favorites of the stuff he picks up now are
Green Arrow, Amazing Spiderman, the Avengers, and Batman's Bruce
Wayne: Fugitive storyline they're doing now.
[22:36] <Dr_Zhie> yeah, sometimes the only use for the comic is to
rewrite it...
[22:36] <fianna> In the process of training, he taps into latent
telekinetic powers
[22:37] <fianna> Amplifies his strength tremendously...think Super-
Saiyen, only less so
[22:37] <Dr_Zhie> tonight i picked up the twisted toyfare theatre
special collector's compilation...a damn funny little book, it is
[22:37] <fianna> Even the title makes me grin
[22:37] <fianna> I've got a small library of anime, too
[22:38] <Dr_Zhie> he's got stuff going back to the early 40s, i think
[22:38] <fianna> Dirty Pair, Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Ninja Scroll
[22:39] <fianna> I'd like to begin collecting DBZ too
[22:39] <fianna> Somehow, I always see the build-up episodes, but
never the one where the villain gets nailed
[22:40] <Dr_Zhie> oh, and i was getting the pokemon comics until
they started drifting away into weird stuff not using the canon
characters
[22:40] <fianna> Kinda like us?
[22:41] <Dr_Zhie> no, worse than us
[22:41] <fianna> My weapons collection inclused a Claymore
broadsword, a Roman Short Sword, and elaborate little dagger,
[22:41] <fianna> Man, how?
[22:42] <fianna> A couple knives, and a rubber-band=powerwed crossbow
[22:42] <Dr_Zhie> they reused the same plot, going through the same
towns with basically the same adventures...just different characters
that sucked
[22:42] <fianna> Gah, how could they manage that
[22:42] <fianna> So formulaic
[22:42] <fianna> Characters have to grow
[22:42] <Dr_Zhie> the japanese must like that sort of thing
[22:43] <fianna> And two lovely scupltures I got for father's day
[22:43] <fianna> ::pant pant pant::
[22:43] * fianna puts away his toys
[22:43] <Dr_Zhie> so i ditched that one and was getting 'magical
pokemon journey' for a while, until i realized it was cheaper to buy
those in graphic novel form as they published them
[22:44] <fianna> I tried that once, problem is, you're not current
[22:44] <fianna> "What do you mean he DIED?!"
[22:44] <Dr_Zhie> true, but it works into the budget better
[22:44] <Dr_Zhie> heh, they don't kill anyone in magical pokemon
journet
[22:44] <Dr_Zhie> journey
[22:45] <fianna> Pikachu as a speed bump...damn
[22:45] <Dr_Zhie> it's meant for girls who like pokemon...they use
the cute ones like jigglypuff and eevee
[22:45] <Dr_Zhie> but it's damn funny, 'cause they do things like
take them to a carnival and get them drunk
[22:45] <fianna> snicker
[22:45] <fianna> brb
[22:45] <Dr_Zhie> and jigglypuff owns her own house that looks like
a huge mushroom
[22:45] <AFK_RD> k
[22:45] <AFK_RD> like the smurfs
[22:46] <Dr_Zhie> just weird shit like that...i really wonder how
they convinced someone to publish it because of the weird stuff they
throw in
[22:46] <Dr_Zhie> yeah, like pokemon in smurf houses
[22:46] <AFK_RD> jeez
[22:46] <AFK_RD> i guess they ran out of ideas
[22:47] <AFK_RD> i wonder if people still write pokeman fanfiction
[22:47] <AFK_RD> like they used to, i mean
[22:48] <Dr_Zhie> hmm...well, i was going to go check to see on
ff.net, but they've got the f'ing site down right now
[22:48] * AFK_RD smiles maniacally
[22:49] <AFK_RD> i'll check it out late
[22:49] <AFK_RD> r
[22:49] <fianna> Zhie, if it's not to personal, what does Faero do
for a living? Also library related?
[22:49] <Dr_Zhie> he's the electronics manager at the local K-
Mart...his degree is in fine arts and graphic design...
[22:50] <fianna> Kewl! Tell him he outranks me, I never made it
past cashier :)
[22:50] <Dr_Zhie> and don't worry, i'm not shy about answering
questions...you get used to having everyone know your business when
you're a gov't employee, lol
[22:50] <fianna> brb, dogs have to pee
[22:51] <Dr_Zhie> k
[22:51] * AFK_RD electrifies the hydrant
[22:52] <AFK_RD> you know that first issue pic is actally a little
funny, with the way bengali flies like that. it still looks good
but cant beat the second
[22:52] <fianna> Where is this?
[22:52] <AFK_RD> does cheetara have arm pit hair?
[22:52] <AFK_RD> check out the photo albun
[22:53] <fianna> brb
[22:53] <AFK_RD> k
[22:53] <Dr_Zhie> I don't know, I've never gotten close enough to
find out, RD...
[22:53] <AFK_RD> i dont blame you1 ill ask hoax later
[22:54] <Dr_Zhie> :( Faero swiped my twisted toyfare theatre
book...and apparently mumm-ra's in it...
[22:55] <fianna> Demmed impressive!
[22:55] <fianna> This is gonna be great...maybe it'll revive the
fandom
[22:55] <fianna> Beyond ourselves, I mean
[22:55] <Dr_Zhie> lol
[22:56] <fianna> Well gang, I gotta run
[22:56] <AFK_RD> that means we'll have to rope all the new writers in
[22:56] <fianna> Puppies to feed before bed time
[22:56] <AFK_RD> before you go let me give you a link fianna
[22:56] <fianna> And the missus will call soon
[22:56] <Dr_Zhie> glad you could make it to chat, Fianna
[22:57] <fianna> She's using her security resources to see if my
brother has developed a criminal record under any of his known
aliases
[22:57] <fianna> My family is weird
[22:57] <AFK_RD> http://www.sarahsanimerealm.net/
[22:57] <AFK_RD> check that out
[22:57] <fianna> You bet!
[22:57] <fianna> Goodniht all!
[22:57] <AFK_RD> night
[22:58] *** fianna has quit IRC
[23:01] <AFK_RD> where is everyone? we must rope more people into
this thing
[23:01] <AFK_RD> willing, but especially unwilling
[23:02] *** AFK_RD is now known as RD
[23:02] <Dr_Zhie> i suppose you could post at treasures that Ford's
joined the tcatgr
[23:02] <Dr_Zhie> but then again, do you really want a bunch of
people joining just so that they can sit around and be ford groupies?
[23:03] <RD> no lurkers!!!
[23:03] <Dr_Zhie> not that that's a bad thing, but i doubt he wants
to try to sort through a whole lot of posts asking question after
question after question
[23:03] <RD> 150 memebers, and 33 posts for june? most of which
were mine
[23:03] <Dr_Zhie> i mean, the guy's going to have to write the comic
at some point
[23:03] <Dr_Zhie> i know, tot is getting pathetic except as an
archive
[23:03] <RD> yeah, he shouldn't be unduly taxed
[23:04] <RD> we'll slowly wean him on our insanity
[23:04] <Zhyan> do you really think he'll stay?
[23:05] <Dr_Zhie> you want me to post a message asking writers to
use a tag for fanfics for the time being so that he's not inundated
with postings?
[23:05] <Dr_Zhie> well, he mentioned at one point he was somewhat a
fan from way back, right? if he really is, he'll stick around
[23:05] <RD> sure and a tag like "Question/comment"
[23:05] <Dr_Zhie> if not, it'll just have been great to have had him
here when things were getting started
[23:05] <Dr_Zhie> nah, i'd leave the rest of it and only tag ff stuff
[23:06] <RD> ok
[23:06] <Dr_Zhie> otherwise it's too much new stuff to deal with at
once
[23:06] <Dr_Zhie> you don't want to make it seem as if we're
rewriting things just for him or that might turn him away
[23:06] <RD> yeah, you're right
[23:07] <RD> we have to retain some sort of normal, and ward him off
the fanworks
[23:07] <Dr_Zhie> i figure if we say it's just temporary because
he's busy with the comic and wants to be able to easily skim through
mail avoiding lengthy fanfic posts
[23:07] <Dr_Zhie> then, we don't have to say 'he doesn't want to
read your stories' and it just sounds much better that way
[23:08] <RD> logical!
[23:09] <RD> i'm sure he'll be able to figure out what's what, too
[23:09] <Dr_Zhie> yeah, but this will make things slightly easier
[23:11] <RD> yeah
[23:11] <RD> were breaking all sorts of new ground here
[23:11] <RD> you think i should unrestrict membership?
[23:12] <RD> i've been thinking about that for a while before all of
this happenend
[23:12] <Dr_Zhie> yes, but limit posting for the first week or
something
[23:12] <Dr_Zhie> y'know, that posts have to be okayed by you or
another moderator during the first week they join
[23:12] <RD> yeah, moderate newbies
[23:13] <RD> ill do that before i leave
[23:16] <Dr_Zhie> In order to allow ease of use, and because there's
probably going to be
[23:16] <Dr_Zhie> some increase in the amount of posting [can't
imagine why ;)], the idea
[23:16] <Dr_Zhie> was proposed in chat tonight that riffs and
fanfics be posted using the
[23:16] <Dr_Zhie> label [TCATGR] FF - [Insert fanfic
title/rating/etc. here], basically, to
[23:16] <Dr_Zhie> make it easier for those just wanting to read the
discussions. It's not a
[23:16] <Dr_Zhie> law, no one's forced to do it, but it'll likely
make things a bit easier
[23:16] <Dr_Zhie> to separate.
[23:16] <Dr_Zhie> -Dr.Zhie
[23:16] <Dr_Zhie> how's that?
[23:16] <Dr_Zhie> then i don't even mention Ford, so he's not
singled out or somethin
[23:16] <Dr_Zhie> wtf am i saying...this whole friggin'
discussion'll get posted anyway...
[23:16] <RD> yeah, that'll do
[23:16] <Dr_Zhie> man, am i ever dumn sometimes
[23:16] * Dr_Zhie bangs her head against a dead snarf.
[23:17] <RD> na, i was gonna chop the log just in case he reads i
[23:17] <RD> it
[23:17] <Dr_Zhie> These snarves are freezerburned.
[23:17] <Dr_Zhie> screw it, why censor?
[23:17] <RD> well, then it all stays!
[23:18] <Dr_Zhie> look at all the other logs we've posted, he could
easily go through one of those, and just think of the treasures he'd
find!
[23:18] <RD> heheheh! so true1
[23:19] <RD> this one's actually been tame all things considered
[23:19] <Dr_Zhie> if you want, i can shout a couple of obscenities
if it would make you feel better
[23:20] <Dr_Zhie> or skin a snarf or something
[23:20] <RD> not a shred of violence and nothing about what was
going on here last night when purrsia's stalker
[23:20] <RD> skin a snarf!
[23:20] <RD> that's always fun!
[23:20] * RD takes out a video camera!
[23:20] * Dr_Zhie takes out her pocket knife and tosses the snarf
she was banging her head against onto her lap.
[23:21] * RD zooms into the snarf's face...it's frozen in terror!
[23:22] <Dr_Zhie> Now, first thing you want to do is get out the
yellow pages and call your friendly local taxidermist - lord knows
no well paid Thunderian doctor would skin her own snarf.
[23:22] <RD> well of course!
[23:22] * Dr_Zhie dials the phone and sets up a taxidermy
appointment.
[23:22] <RD> i thought smithers did that though
[23:23] <Dr_Zhie> Next, it's never nice to bring your animal to the
taxidermist while it's still only half or mostly dead.
[23:23] <Dr_Zhie> So, it's always good to have a friend konk it on
the head a few times, or something like that.
[23:23] <RD> yes, i'm good at that!
[23:23] * Dr_Zhie hands RD a mallet and the snarf.
[23:24] * RD mallets the head with until its empty skull is exposed
[23:24] <RD> i think it's dead now
[23:24] * RD flops it around, it falls stiff
[23:25] <RD> yup, 100% not alive
[23:25] <Dr_Zhie> Thirdly, you direct your faithful, minimum-wage
making secretary to tote the carcass down to the taxidermist, where
it shall be skinned, stuffed, and preserved for posterity.

[23:25] <RD> hi
[23:26] * Dr_Zhie watches as Smithers rides in on his bike, puts the
snarf into a box, and rides away to the taxidermists.
[23:26] <Spark_Mx> greetings...
[23:26] <Dr_Zhie> hello
[23:26] <Spark_Mx> hi.. :-) what is new around here... besides

[23:32] <Spark_Mx> ah! you have not seen it Zhie? hehe
[23:33] <Dr_Zhie> i just now took a look at it
[23:33] <Dr_Zhie> i didnt realize one could have so many, uh,
diverse interests...
[23:34] <Spark_Mx> yeah.. hehe. I was amazed at the... diversity
[23:34] <Spark_Mx> hehe. makes you wonder if that is the reason why
so many brazilians drop by in here!!
[23:34] <RD> one member had masturbation as an interest, i just
forget now who it was. i just remember cause it was really weird
[23:37] <Spark_Mx> weird just cause of that subject or did it had
other bizarre interests?
[23:37] <RD> oh and you missed fianna, too
[23:37] <RD> just that subject
[23:38] <RD> well, and thundercats
[23:38] <Spark_Mx> oh! FIanna!! that means he wont be here tomorrow..
[23:38] <RD> its weird the kinds of perverts out there
[23:38] <RD> as opposed to the kinds of perverts in here
[23:38] <RD> yeah, his the missus has tomorrow
[23:39] <Spark_Mx> uh?
[23:39] <RD> well, i'm not exactly normal

[23:42] <RD> well, it's the one thinkg i'm innocent of
[23:44] <Spark_Mx> riiiiiight
[23:44] * RD looks innocent
[23:45] * RD whistles
[23:47] <RD> you know at this rate we might hit 6000 messages by
september
[23:47] * Spark_Mx pales just to think of that idea..
[23:47] <Spark_Mx> another porn story?
[23:48] <Dr_Zhie> you know what I just thought of?
[23:48] <RD> oh?
[23:48] <Spark_Mx> what?
[23:48] <Spark_Mx> you will write the story?
[23:48] <Dr_Zhie> back when you posted 3,000, RD, I said I'd write
you a porn to make up for the fact that you hit it instead of
someone else
[23:49] <RD> hmmm
[23:49] <RD> you're going to torture me, aren't you?
[23:49] <Dr_Zhie> I'll have to think of something un-Grune related...
[23:49] <Dr_Zhie> I don't know yet...I'll have to see...
[23:49] <RD> heheeh!!!
[23:50] <Dr_Zhie> i would enjoy writing the porn story for whoever
hits 10,000, though
[23:50] <Dr_Zhie> hint, hint
[23:50] <RD> oooo!
[23:50] <Spark_Mx> so far!!
