M3: Oh, I give up. If I could remember the name of the Other Writer's Character, I could find it. But. Can't. Writer Unknown started off the round robin. He/she tried to write a STORY with a plot, but when DVK took over, it was all "I AM THE GRATEST!!!!!!" Every time the other author had their character get one-up on Davey in order to advance the plot, he'd basically do the little kid thing of "Your monster breathes fire?! Well...MY monster EATS fire an' he shoots it all back with ATOM BOMBS!" It was just the perfect side-by-side example of Why Davey Sucks. Potential Real Writer vs a Where's-my-Meds? Internet Dork.

Bill - You tax my brain. Wasn't the one with the creepy girlfriend was it, that transformed them both into royalty with glitter dust? I don't recall that being a collaboration. Or rather, I don't recall that being anything near decent. Plus I pretty much ranted and cackled over EVERY Gonterpiece to you. Heh. You poor bastard. I AM feeling a lil blue, maybe I'll go read some of his work to cheer up about my sucky life ;)

Art: No, not that. I already checked all of the obvious suspects, like the Shrine. This one was notable for the fact the other writer could, in fact, write. Why he/she was collaborating with the likes of Gonts made it memorable. It didn't have any of his stolen trademarked characters, except maybe a Piasa-era Kintobor.
As to The News, sorry, but I wasn't motivated the last few days and today I'm Syndromed to hell.

Note to fellow Gonterphiles, particularly M3 and Negs:
Anybody remember that story that Daveykins collaborated on with someone else? They took turns writing, and nothing shows DVK's shortcomings like the extreme transistions betwen the 2. It wasn't billed as a collaboration, except maybe at the very end, but it was pretty obvious as you read it. I thought that I posted a link to it, but every Google search for gonterman thoughtviper I've done doesn't seem to have it. M3 and I had an email exchange about it quite a while ago.

*snerks* Hell, to me 30 seems like an impossibly old number.
Psych was always interesting to me too, too bad the only course I ever had time to take was taught on the level a monkey could pass. Somethings not right when you fall asleep in 2/3rds of the lectures and get the highest grade in the class.

I got Caligula. Not surprising, he shares my birthday as well. Except for the sister thing *shudder* I kinda liked him. He certainly kept people guessing!
Christ. The 2am street puker is late today. It's 3am. I wonder if it's the same girl who's been sobbing uncontrollably out in the street for 20 minutes or if it's the usual suspect. No, can't be Sobber, she wouldn't retch that low in pitch.
LA. Yay.

Prankster: I got League of Ex Gents II last night. Yeah, really cool, though I could've done with less Martian in the dialogue. And the way .cbr files parse splash panels. Given the reviews here, I'm afraid to read any further...

Camilla: I LOOOOVED Yellow Submarine! I was 9 and saw it at Block Island's premiere cinema experience, an old barn with folding metal chairs. It changed me, too. I bought the comic book from the Weekly Reader. It fucked my head up in the GOOD way. "I've got a hole in me pocket!"

Gally: Psych. She's not at the moment really planning on "doing" anything with it, it's just a field of study she finds interesting. "And I don't care if it takes me until I'm 50 to get my degree!" she said, as 50 is an impossibly old age to her. To me, it's April 2009...

Bill, if you hadn't personally witnessed the Clique/Tiffany story, I might have taken it as mere urban legend. Oy! Kids these days. What are they teaching them in school!? Re: "All our cats live in Cap'n Nemo's Submarine!" I was terrified of Yellow Submarine for years. That movie unnerved me and stoked more surreal, gibbering nightmares than any flying monkey ever could. I kept my Y.S. jigsaw puzzle safely in a closet in the living room, far, far away from my bed. Art Slave: Admittedly, my bile/vitriol overflow valve was jammed yesterday, we can thank a certain moron-in-law for that. Many suffered...but I digress! "I think Paul is actually a very good songwriter - WHEN he has someone to moderate him." Precisely! The alchemy was in the collaboration - I think that's why I tend to favor the early catalog; I respectfully submit Exhibit J: "The Girl is Mine". Still shaking my head over Paulie's recent attempt to have the convenient last word on reversing the song credits - It's lots easier to challenge John now! He doesn't argue so much! That was the last straw for me as far as Sir P's character is concerned. Historically they both/all have their weak spots although, like you, I find John's far less glaringly obvious. I ain't zackly hatin' on a bloke (in fact, I secretly like "My Brave Face"), I just wish he'd shut up now. I mean, game OVER, dude. ;) So Bill, are you sorry you asked?

Congratulations to Jessica for joining the ranks of 'non-traditional' students! I am one of those, and have found it to be an amazing experience. We are so lucky to have (hopefully) extra wisdom and experience that makes school more enjoyable and beneficial.
School rocks!

Clique meant the desire to work hard in a demanding environment--believe me, you don't KNOW demanding until you work in a fucking toy store at Xmas time.
Hee. hee hee. heee heee hee. heee hee heee he hee hee!
Sorry. i was being proud of myself.
(hey, we had guys trying to steal bikes merely by *walking out* with them. that's how busy we were)

Art: Byron is 8 months old. When it was time for his neutering, the vet techs said "He's only 6 months old? He's HUGE!" At that age, Kill Kill weighed 6 pounds. He weighed 8.5. If he continues at KK's rate of expansion, he'll eventually be 17-18 pounds. Of LAP CAT. Oh, me achin' lap!
