Yes, I am rather smart. In fact, I am smarter than...

EEKK!

::runs away from FuckAss::

I was going to put up The Mahabharata because it is probably the
world's longest poem (heh heh; can't judge it until you've read the
whole thing) but the only links I could find to English translations
on the web (see above) were not actually in poetic form.

So instead I will offer

The Rubiyat

and

Emily

Awww, mom. Following the rules is no fun.

um, I honestly have no idea what you're talking about, but I'm glad I'm not a liar. did I still hack the board?

Aren't you the one with the big meat cleaver? I would think that that
constitutes eviden...

Turd. Put that meat cleaver down. Turd.

Turd!

I found your mind, gnimbley.

You want it back, or something?

Not necessarily. How much do you charge to return it?

Trumpet Fanfare

Well, folks, this is it. The end.

The play is done, except for one last proof read looking for dropped
verbs, inconsistent tenses, misspelled words, stuff like that.

I have finished the play, "The Trial of George W. Bush by gnimbley
the gnome". (That's right, no more Erisian Mystery, sorry.)

I have made TONS of changes. Mostly to the order of stuff. In the course
of writing this I have cut stuff out, added stuff back, written new scenes,
eliminated characters, added characters, and, in general, driven myself
BATS!

Damn, I need a cookie.

Anyway, Act II did not die. Act III died. It is now a two act play, although
they are rather long acts. The play should take more than two hours to
perform. What was act II has been chopped up into three parts and spread
over the first act, and two new scenes, which are extensions of act
II, have been dropped into the new act II.

Anyway, the link is below. Some of your favorite bits may have bit the
dust. For that I apologize, but HEY! I had to do it. Really. (My biggest
regret is killing off DJRubberDucky's "Death cage match!" but I greatly
expanded her character and slipped DCM in elsewhere. )

The file is a PDF, 230K or so.

The Trial of George W. Bush

Let me know if you see any obvious spelling or grammar errors.

I am going to do an html version soon and put it up on the internet. When
I do I will let you know. Then I would appreciate passing the link
around so it gets some exposure. Thanks.

...except peperoni, anchovy and black olive...

Noooooo.........dead fishies do NOT belong on pizza.

Fixed that for ya, hon.

ANYWAY, AS OF NOW, I'M OVER IT.

Ah, damn. Did you two make up? And I was going to do a soap opera
parody tonight.

Maybe I will just bake some cookies to console myself.

:P

Dear Bella,

What's the best way to deal with someone you respect, but is completely oblivious to their own hypocrisy, and wouldn't be that appreciative of haveing it being pointed out to them?*

Dear LMNO,

The only thing I've ever found that works in those circumstances is to become very silent when they say something hypocritical. It works most of the time, and even if it doesn't, at least you aren't participating in the hypocracy.

You could hit them with a chair. Or, alternatively, have Hoshiko do it.

Oh yeah. Forgot to mention Freakonomics. Listening to it on CD. Will
change your opinion about a lot of "convention wisdom."

Hey Bella! Did you know that if you look at the data for death in plane
crashes versus death in automobile crashes, and compare them on
the basis of the likelihood of dying per hour spent driving/flying,
that the chance of dying is the same. Sorry, but I won't be
flying anywhere anytime for the next half century.

I read this book..it was one of a series..I can't remeber the name of it but perhaps gnimbley knows what it is


It's about this space craft that is made of nanomachines...It can change its shape and do all kinds of neat stuff...It is a some long, infinite space exploration voyage...There are only like 3 or 4 crewmembers too..I remeber in the end one of them sacrafices his life for the crew or the universe, I can't remeber but, the cool thing was was that his consciousness was downloaded int the ships computer and the nanomachines grew him a new body and downloaded his consciousness into it..THe new guy was aware of the old guy but was the same guy...It was an interesting tale

Nope. There are several with similar features. But nothing rings a bell
for that plot exactly.

I bought the first Otherland book. It was boring. Best thing he wrote was
that cat book.

The plural of disk
Is "You're an asshole, asshole!"
I thinks that is right.
