Well, which skulls did he have?


Without going back, my guess is Cubby.

So how come the Mouseteers and (in another episode) Sylvester Stallone like
animated heads in a jar?

Or the heads are clones and the actual people still die. How else would they get
George Washington.

And Doug, Have you looked into publishing lately? Cause all that '80 retro stuff
is getting pretty big now.

Right after I deleted the New Wave midis off my site.... :\

As soon as I get enough new material together to make a decent proposal to
submit to a comic book publisher. Until then I'm just a obscure New Wavey,
small press relic from the '80s.

Wanna see a Cyclops babe that I drew in 1984 (I was way ahead of my time!)?

Theory.

Those MIDI's need to be put back. They ad such a great tone to the site. But they
needed to be on the menu bar so that they didn't change every time you change
pages.

Well yea it was a Quantum Finish. When you measure it you affect the outcome. Just
like measuring an electron. That's why that line had me on the floor laughing!

And I'm a poor excuse for a Web Surfer I missed that part of your site entirely
before. Now I gotta load Them onto my Palmtop to show everyone.

Hey there's a thought. Sell the issues in E-form straight from your page. It's a
little High Concept, but in the electronic age you can be your own publisher and
distributor.

> PS: I'm a little bummed because a friend's wife flamed me by email. :(

Friend's wife. The day I have to say that I'll feel so old. That's why I stop
talking to my friends after they get married.;)

Likely it's my news system. No biggie, it's not like I have something

Don't do it.

You correct one, then you end up correcting them all and before you know
it, it becomes a full time job. To save time and trouble, we've decided
to find Mike's spelling and grammar variations 'charming'. It's so much
easier this way.

(Just kiddding, Mike. We're still pals, right?)

I just limit my editing to fanfic authors who have *asked* for my services.

I...I just couldn't help it. It was just staring me in the face, taunting
me--and I had to touch it, feel it, destroy it.

It was never meant to go this far, far enough to hurt so many people.

I've heard worse about my writing. Usually by teachers who couldn't be bothered
teaching me, only criticizing me.

I took it as a reference to the Bush/Gore election results. Since Democrats
were criticized for wanting to change the result of the election but they
said they were only trying to count, or measure, all the votes. But, then, I
think I'm the only certified college physics dropout on this newsgroup.

Actually it pokes through on some of the pages, especially in the Fanboy
section (regional fandom has treated me rather poorly).

At least you didn't know me when I was in my 20s and had a very Ren Hoek
type temperament.

At least you seem to like my site. How about that Bast!

I'd think the track announcer calling it a quantum finish would also

The problem is that few people like midis and even less of them like New
Wave midis. Randomly changing midis with every new page was part of the
"charm". I just wish that there were more "hard alternative" midis from the
'80s.

Did you see the entrance page that I had up early in the year? It welcomed
you to to the 21st Century ("the most scientific atomic space age century of
all!") by mixing up six random retro future images (flying cars, flying
wings, solar sails, passenger rockets, moon colonists, and a future
cityscape) and 11 random midis (a cheesy version of "Rhapsody in Blue",
Aaron Copland's "Post Tonal Hoe-down", Dave "Baby" Cortez's "Happy Organ",
The Car's "Let's Go", a Mos Isley sounding version of "Tequila", a
"2001/Telestar" medley, a pseudo freebop meets chaos theory thingie composed
by some PC program, and a few {I think} Arnold Schoenberg atonal tunes
pretending to be jittery space-sick sci-fi music.)

I don't too many friends, so I can't be that choosy. Besides, I'm 40 so I
already feel old. :\ It does take a week's notice in advance to get them out
of the house to go anywhere. It takes them a week of rescheduling, begging,
and kissing up before they can get away.
