Toonbots message board: By the way....

mouse Sun Jul 13 14:58:06 2003 Re: By the way.... > There *is* a new episode up as of yesterday. I don't believe anybody ever > still looks... usually i do (it's probably some sort of compulsive disorder). today, being a bit short of time, i came here first - and, as ever when i do that, then realized that there was a new toon. hey - maybe _i'm_ the one with the power to cause toons to appear!

mouse Sun Jul 13 15:02:52 2003 oh, yeah - yay! new toon! new toon! here's to michael's recovery! (is reverting to creating 'toons actually a recovery, or a relapse? don't answer that.) hooray!

Jenn Sun Jul 13 18:56:41 2003 YAY! New Toon! I always go to the toon page first, cause I can't figure out how to change the bookmark on our thingie. And because it's good exercise, clicking that 'forum here' button. Whew! I'd better go have a cold beer, I clicked! Anyway, we should have a party in honor of the new toon! I'll bring the cheese dip!

Emsworth the Less Than Gruntled Sun Jul 13 19:37:43 2003 Re: By the way.... >I don't believe anybody ever > still looks... Was that a whine or a statement of fact? (Unless you're trying to make us hate you, I'll assume the latter.) Your logs will reveal I have checked periodically, and since I'm still allegedly on your update mailing list anyway, and you hadn't updated in months, and hadn't since I last checked a couple of days ago, and since I'm trying to prepare for the Con and fit into clothing despite leg swelling, no, no I hadn't. I enjoyed it, though. Simple, and despite an extremely self-indulgent blurb, very effective. Liked the "spot" gag especially.

gopher Sun Jul 13 19:56:09 2003 Re: By the way.... > Your logs will reveal I have checked periodically Well, um...you see, about those logs... Yeah. *cough* I just hope I've moved back to the dorms before Michael comes back to actually check any log claims. There's a couple of unused IPs on this subnet, so maybe I can just tell the person replacing me to leave that one alone for deniability.

gopher Tue Jul 15 17:29:57 2003 clarification Good Brother Emsworth (as opposed to his evil twin) has just informed me that my last entry was bit confusing to some, and possibly a bit overdone with the faux paranoia and all. So, for the record, I am not nor have I ever lived in Michael's house. I'm just filling up his filesystem with meaningless log entries. It's kind of like NIMDA all over again, but in Jihad form.

Because...living in Michael's house and eating his pickles and rearranging his collection of Strawberry Shortcake figurines...that would be a /bad/ thing, right? The rest of that gibberish, I didn't understand at all. But then, I don't read the code on the comics (don't all gasp at once). Reiterating. Bad thing, living in Michael's house. Good thing, living in dorms and speaking in acronyms. :)

mouse Thu Jul 17 17:01:07 2003 Re: clarification foo - there goes another perfectly good conspiracy theory. and i practically had floor plans for the hideout you would have constructed in the basement (behind the towers, for easy yet covert access to the logs). honestly, you people are just no fun at all. and yet....tell me more of this 'evil twin'....

gopher Fri Jul 18 00:13:05 2003 Re: clarification > and yet....tell me more of this 'evil twin'.... If the Good Brother Emsworth is to exist, which I presume that he does, then his opposite, the Evil Brother Emsworth, must exist, else there is no comparison and no basis to define the original. So Emsworth obviously has an evil twin lurking out there somewhere. I've never met himself, so I can't say much on what he's like. Maybe the Good Emsworth can tell you more.

Jenn Fri Jul 18 18:17:25 2003 Good vs Evil I met him once in a bar in Sydney. Damn. That was some good tequila.

mouse Fri Jul 18 18:45:46 2003 Re: Good vs Evil > I met him once in a bar in Sydney. > Damn. That was some good tequila. wait - was this the good one, or the evil one? (guess i should ask, "who bought the tequila" - that would tell us something.)

Jenn Sat Jul 19 23:49:22 2003 Emsworth The Oh So Goodly Evil > wait - was this the good one, or the evil one? (guess i should ask, > "who bought the tequila" - that would tell us something.) The thing about Emsworth is that: When he was good, he was very very good. And when he was bad, he was better.

Emsworth the Not So Evil & not from Sydney Sun Jul 20 22:54:03 2003 Re: Emsworth The Oh So Goodly Evil Madame, I resent those remarks, and consider them to be inimical to good fellowship. And yes, I'm back. No Gooey-gar or even mouse autographs, Michael, too busy and tired. Maybe you can take time off from Hungary next year and try it yourself. And the box of Hitler-O's I saw in one booth would have been perfect for a Toonbots.

Michael Wed Jul 23 06:17:00 2003 Re: Emsworth The Oh So Goodly Evil > Hitler-O's Coooooool.

Michael Sat Jul 19 07:26:08 2003 Re: Good vs Evil > I met him once in a bar in Sydney. I can't say how nice it is to have Jenn back.

Michael Mon Jul 14 16:12:17 2003 Re: By the way.... > Was that a whine or a statement of fact? Merely an assumption given my lack of updatedness. I haven't looked at my logs for a very long time now. And I didn't send a notification because I forgot it existed, to be perfectly honest. It was never automatic, just a quick little outgoing-only majordomo list.
