I heard about it on the news yesterday. Frankly, I thought he was already dead.

Old news mister, didn't he die on sunday?

In any case, now I can finally confess that I thought "Rabbit Rhapsody" should've gotten the nomination and subsequent Oscar over "Cat Concerto". And that it was stupid replacing "Ricochet Rabbit and Droop-a-long" on Magilla's show with the hopelessly inferior fuck-ups "Breezly and Sneezly".

Oh, and that it was gay to have Showbiz Shark and that fish sidekick of his (who he should've just eaten) walk around like they breathe air like everyone else.

It's new to me. Not like I popped in to tell you Hanna was dead too, that would be old news.

B E C K · « **Reply #6 on:** Dec 21, 2006, 01:59:06 PM »

Barbera himself was old news. Har har. *rimshot*

WTF HE'S DEAD TOOO?!?!?!

Well I would tell you, but it may be to old to post.

Was the Sphere even around back in 2001?

Rama · « **Reply #10 on:** Dec 22, 2006, 12:17:03 AM »

Yes.

B E C K · « **Reply #11 on:** Dec 22, 2006, 01:28:14 AM »

Born November 1999.

And it was such a cute baby, but now it's fallen in with a bad crowd. Drugs, crime, joining an Emo band and his Robert Smith hair cut.

B E C K · « **Reply #13 on:** Dec 22, 2006, 01:38:56 AM »

Funny, I would've figured the opposite.

Rama · « **Reply #14 on:** Dec 22, 2006, 01:43:45 AM »

Well that's what you get for figuring.

Hey, if anything this place is less emo than before just due to no longer having a poetry section.

Rama · « **Reply #16 on:** Dec 22, 2006, 12:08:47 PM »

That is true, but I always liked you poems. You even still write them?

B E C K · « **Reply #17 on:** Dec 27, 2006, 04:39:22 AM »

Yes, just not as frequently. I actually thought about bringing back the poetry section the other day, if only for the fact that it makes them so easy to put online.

Rama · « **Reply #18 on:** Dec 27, 2006, 01:26:47 PM »

I still think you should collect some of your best and try to get them published.

B E C K · « **Reply #19 on:** Dec 28, 2006, 02:39:32 AM »

I'm planning to, but what I have now is too little.

Rama · « **Reply #20 on:** Dec 28, 2006, 03:58:51 AM »

Cool. I've read stuff that was a lot worse and it actually sold very well. So I think if you can get it out there and survive the barrage of rejection letters and not let them get you down too much that you'll do very well with it.

B E C K · « **Reply #21 on:** Dec 28, 2006, 10:32:56 PM »

Or I could ghostwrite an Eragon book and sell it in China.

Rama · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 29, 2006, 02:08:21 AM »

It'll get you the money, but what about the respect? No one respects a person that writes an Eragon book.

Merla · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 29, 2006, 03:09:42 PM »

But a person who writes an Eragon book has money. Damn it Nuri, write and Eragon book all ready and make us rich. Hahaha funny how I say us when she's the one writing.

Bitch · « **Reply #24 on:** Dec 29, 2006, 09:53:32 PM »

People actually love Eragon. I had an AP science teacher recommend it to me, as well as a bunch of other people. Apparently the sequel is better, but I'd have to suffer through the rest of the first one just to understand the damn thing. If I want to read an unfinished children's book trilogy, I'll just read Abarat again.

Yeah, who is to say that after she hits it rich she won't drop you like a bad habit.

But it'll be ghostwritten! I just keep the large, well-smuggled fee for my initial manuscript. Respect factors in no where.

You'll know...and it'll keep you up at night. Mark my words.

B E C K · « **Reply #28 on:** Jan 02, 2007, 04:18:01 AM »

No it wouldn't. I have the Unsolved Mysteries theme music for that.

Rama · « **Reply #29 on:** Jan 02, 2007, 04:30:35 AM »

In your head?
