Hmm, my standard tool for searching for particular words by particular users is to feed "[words] [user] site:www.inpassing.org" into google. And then to have some patience to go through all the hits.

Sorry for the lack of posts by me (and Eve) - I'll nag her some. But thanks all for all you've done.

There might be more posts from Eve?

Don't know whether any of you play Kingdom of Loathing, but there I belong to a clan called the Inconceivables. My title is "will never marry humperdink."

Good times. -cough-


Never apologize. Never explain.

Hey jcharles, I'm occasionally on KoL as Corgbodem. What class are you?

I was a Sauceror in my first life. Now I've ascended (hardcore oxy, baby!) as a Disco Bandit. The Disco Nap is nice, but I miss my sauce spells. I have a feeling I'm going to miss them a lot more when I get to some of the harder areas (the Hole in the Sky will probably take me months). I'll look for you next time I'm on, maybe send you a pressie.

Moving. The never-ending process of weeding out years of "why the hell did I keep this" stuff. (And I apparently have an obsession with hell lately. *G*)

My parents move to Virginia and all I get is a bunch of whiney siblings that don't want to remember that I do not share my parent's "walk in anytime unannounced" policy. *sigh* Especially my sister. She's become quite clingy. All wanting to do stuff with me and sleep over like when we were younger and unattached. Doesn't she know I want to finish the move and surf the net.

The fun thing about all this is I get to do it all in 6 months or so. Fun times!

So I called you today after finally, FINALLY tracking down your numbers--and nothing worked. What's going on? How can I get ahold of you?

Moving, schmoving--I've got Christmas presents to give here, Spicey!

So, I remember now that I forgot to update everybody on my new info. I mean, my parents don't even have my number. =^P If it hadn't been their address, they wouldn't have that either. *G*

If I can remember to do it, I will email you when I check it in a bit.

I have a present for you too.

And, I'm quite sure you all not related to this post are so very much interested. =^P

Kinda was interested, hearing from 2 of my favorite IPers...

We have ways of keeping ourselves occupied.

This story makes me think of the Tick. Multiple Santa rules! Er...or is that, 'Multiple Santas rule!'?

We keep giving up on you! But I know you've been busy...

Down with the soulless minions of orthodoxy!

Don't go away just when I get back! That's just rude!

*G*

Hey, you're back! I was beginning to think you'd gone for good, too.
Where've you been?

In case ye landlubbers haven't pillaged the high seas yet:

Puzzle Pirates!

If ye do venture out onto the Midnight Ocean, say "Ahoy" to Karlen. I'll stand ye a mug o' grog. Arrrgh - it's back to the bilges for me.

I be Whimsey on ye Cobalt Ocean. Yarr!

Just keep checking, I guess.

So nice I had to post twice! No, I don't know how I did that. Damned human error!!

Yep, I keep hoping for other people to post something... I got nothin'.

I can inundate IP with ridiculous questions, like I have on my other time-killer site:

If a tree falls on a lumberjack in the forest, and no one is around, does he scream? And why is the lumberjack wearing women's underwear, anyway?

If a woodchuck could chuck wood, could he replace the poor dead crossdressing lumberjack? If woodchucks in women's underwear started taking jobs from lumberjacks, would spotted owls eat them?

If a spotted owl ate a cross-dressing woodchuck lumberjack, would it get sick? If a spotted owl got sick eating a cross-dressing woodchuck lumberjack, could it file a claim against the logging company? If a spotted owl sued a logging company, would Greenpeace pay for the lawyer?

Is anyone ever going to find the lumberjack's body?

Is the lumberjack's wife going to miss him, or just her bra and panties? Why am I so hung-up on the lumberjack-woodchuck-spotted owl soap opera, anyway?

If the spotted owl wins the lawsuit against the logging company, will the logging company go out of business, or will the goverment bail it out? If the spotted owl hides its newfound wealth in a nest, will squirrels try to steal it?

If the squirrels stole the spotted owl's money, what would they spend it on? If the squirrels spent the money they stole on cocaine, would anyone notice?

If the coked-up squirrels joined up with the gravel-throwing garden gnomes, what havoc would they cause? If the squirrel/garden gnome alliance decided to rob a liquor store, would the cops be too busy laughing to stop them?

If you were the first human being to set foot on another planet, what would your first words be? Would they be, "Oh, crap, I should have worn a space suit!"?

Were you glad when the Nicholas Cage Superman movie was junked before it could be released? Did you even remember there was supposed to be a Superman movie starring Nic Cage? And who's the genius who thought Nic Cage would be good in that role? -- "Hmm, you know who'd make a great Superman? That one guy...that scrawny, gawky guy, with the receding hair and the undershot chin, the one who can't smile properly and always looks like his dog just died...what's his name?...Oh, yeah, Nicholas Cage. He'd be perfect."

Will Nic Cage make a better Ghost Rider than he did a Superman? Or will that project be dead before take-off too?

Was Fantastic Four the worst super-hero movie you've ever seen? Or did you make the mistake of renting the old Captain America flick? And, yes I do think Fantastic Four was worse than Hulk. Speaking of the Fantastic Four, have you noticed the Thing is rocky and lumpy all over--except for the perfectly smooth area covered by his skin-tight shorts?

-Can't stop, the weasels are closing in!

1) Yes, I was glad it was junked, and well do I remember it. I love reading rumors about genre films in development... sometimes those stories are better than the actual movies!

2) Mr Cage would make a better Ghost Rider, but if it makes it to screen, I think it will suck. The comic has been through many versions, from the campy to the downright disturbing. I've yet to see campy superhero work well on the big screen (the Adam West Batman movie doesn't count). It would take a very good director to make a disturbing version work, and I doubt very much they'll hire one for it.
How about if Nic Cage plays Luke Cage? Kidding, of course.

3) Have not seen FF or Hulk. The old Captain America flick was bad, but funny. Though I have to say those early Spiderman movies may edge them out for suckitude.

The question of lumpy shorts is already making the rounds for the Superman film that *is* in development. With Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor, hmm...

- My mind is in the gutter, but it keeps out the bad weather.

My favorite thing about the Nic Cage Superman was that they actually finished shooting it. They had it in the can. I can even remember Cage going on the Tonight Show to talk about it. But it never appeared. How bad does a movie have to be, to spend all that money on it and then not release it? Come to think of it, that happened with the first attempt at a Fantastic Four, too, didn't it? Except nobody went on the Tonight Show for it, because it was a low-budget flick with actors nobody had ever heard of.

Yeah, I'm worried about Ghost Rider. One, as you may have noticed, I'm not Nicholas Cage's biggest fan. So if they had cast anybody else for it, anybody at all, I would have appreciated it. And isn't he a bit old to be playing a young stunt biker anyway? But, like you said, it's the balance of camp and horror (so easy in comic books, so hard in movies) that's probably going to do it in. Hmm...camp and horror...I know, they can show it on the Sci-Fi Channel!

-Can't stop, the weasels are closing in!

Missed FF, 'cause I knew it would suck big donkey balls, but I don't see how it could be worse than the first Punisher movie, with Dolf Lundgren.

Yes. I went there.

But yeah, the Captain America movie was so awful, I thankfully repressed most of it. Just goes to show you, making a superhero movie is a lot harder than Sam Raimi makes it look.

I liked the Punisher. Stupid, campy, bad acting, sure--you know the movie is in trouble when Dolph Lundgren turns in the best performance--but for some reason, I still liked it. It was better than some of Lundgren's other movies; Masters of the Universe springs to mind. Which reminds me--one of the new managers in our store looks like Evil Lyn. Though I guess it might be more accurate to say she looks like the actress that played Evil Lyn, I have a hard time not thinking of her as "Evil Lyn" which makes it hard to page her, because I can't easily recall her real name.

To get back on-point, though: Fantastic Four had to get past the basic silliness of itself (I never did understand the phenomenon of silly putty heroes like Mr Fantastic and Plastic Man; and the idea of a villain putting on a suit of armor and a cloak and attempting world domination because he has some scars--instead of spending that money on plastic surgery--is a little off the radar, then there's the whole wonky science aspect, oh, and the stupid catchphrases--"Flame on!", "It's clobberin' time!"--which they inexplicably decided to keep for the movie), and for me, it failed. Deciding Doom was actually made of metal and giving him super-powers instead of putting him in armor and giving him weapons didn't much help. And the bad science used to defeat him just made me shake my head. It wasn't bad enough to be funny, just enough to be mediocre. Where the original Punisher at least was a guilty pleasure, Fantastic Four was no pleasure at all. YMMV.

Maybe because it's the flaw that keeps her from looking like a Barbie doll...or Britney Spears?

though I'll take any ones left over Britney's. She might be a complete waste of fame but she's still damn hot!
