Toonbots message board: Titles

Lord Emsworth Sun Nov 12 10:02:12 2000 Re: Titles > Sooo... Ya like my character bounding boxes? Aren't they cool? Yes indeed! Very pleased to be able to read a new Toonbots so soon. Oddly enough, those blank rectangles are, in my opinion, better representations of the candidates than those used by print cartoonists. While they are content with wildly varying depictions of the pairs' physical features, you have captured the very blankness of their personalities and especially their platforms. There was a certain wistfulness in the position of "Dubya" in the final panel, which nicely complemented the caption. The introduction of characters is a resounding success, in my opinion, and still manages to retain that unique Toonbots charm.

Michael Sun Nov 12 23:24:16 2000 Re: Titles > Can I be "The Right Reverend BoxJam"? Let it herewith be proclaimed that this day the title of "Right Reverend" is granted to said BoxJam, pursuant to Paragraph 8b Section II of the Toonbots Code.

Tirdun Mon Nov 13 10:32:44 2000 Re: Titles > Let it herewith be proclaimed that this day the title of "Right > Reverend" is granted to said BoxJam, pursuant to Paragraph 8b Section > II of the Toonbots Code. Huzzah for the Right Reverand BoxJam! Do we call him "his holiness" or just "his righiousness"?

Aren't they cool? Um... I'm already King Godzilla of Monster Island. Also a reverend in the Universal Life Church. A certified psychic also. Can I have an Honarary Doctorate from PAFTWJ? That way I could be the "All Knowing, Reverend DOCTOR, King Godzilla of Monster Island. That would be so cool on my resume...

Tirdun Mon Nov 13 07:20:20 2000 Re: Titles > They're moving like hotcackes, folks. Get your PAFTWJ titles while they're > fresh. Step right up, no waiting! Oooh, oooh. Can I have "Pope"? As in Pope Tirdun I. If not, I'll take Arch-Bishop. > Sooo... Ya like my character bounding boxes? Aren't they cool? Very lifelike. I thought this was a "minimalist" strip! Every time I think I've got you figured....

If you're going to be pope, we'd have to > redefine the whole heirarchy so that High Priest is above Pope, and that'd > just be confusing. Maybe my title should be "Pope, which by the way is not higher on the super-secret and oft confusing heirarchy of the PAFTWJ" Ok, put me down as "ArchUberBishop of the PAFWJ"

Pooga Mon Nov 13 11:34:28 2000 Re: Titles > They're moving like hotcackes, folks. Get your PAFTWJ titles while they're > fresh. Step right up, no waiting! Okay, considering that my last proposal was a bit unwieldy and mostly for the purpose of taunt the Right Reverend, I humbly ask that my new title be the Grand VIzier of Emacs. > Sooo... Ya like my character bounding boxes? Aren't they cool? Muchly so.

gopher Mon Nov 13 11:39:33 2000 Re: Titles > the Grand VIzier of Emacs. Wow. Quite perfect for a jihad.

Michael Mon Nov 13 12:28:03 2000 Re: Titles > Wow. Quite perfect for a jihad. Yeah, unlike nd's. "Doctor." Pfft.

nd Mon Nov 13 13:03:51 2000 Re: Titles > Yeah, unlike nd's. "Doctor." Pfft. Yeah, whatever. It's just a small part of my stream of titles. "The All Knowing, Reverend Doctor, King Godzilla of Monster Island" Besides, you think Doctor's are nothing? Mengele was a doctor. He's creepy. He'd be good in a jihad.

Napoleon, would this be a good time for a defenestration, perhaps? As for you, nd, do you think you can simply use us to further you egotistical needs of a foolishly long title? The PAFTWJ is not the Universal Life Church; we do not simply hand out titles upon a whim so you can circumvent the law. Our titles are only given to those who truly know the spirit of Toonbots in their hearts. nd must pay for his insolence! Jihad! To arms!

Pooga Mon Nov 13 15:55:20 2000 Re: Titles > Jihad! To arms! Righty ho! Um...So how do you get there again?

Michael Mon Nov 13 17:28:51 2000 Re: Titles > Jihad! To arms! Wow. This is good for my ego. I don't know anybody else who has his own jihad.

Chris Tue Nov 14 02:34:07 2000 Re: Chris' Title > "Seventh century Islamic prophet" might work. Nah. That'd piss the Muslims off, and before long they'd be spreading me by the sword. (This is why you should never let me read the entire Chopping Block archives after 9:00 PM.)

Chris Tue Nov 14 22:46:19 2000 Re: Chris' Title > Unless Lee has a seriously long commute to work in Pittsburgh, Chris is > not Lee. Having a friend who flies F-15s for a living rules. Especially if blackmailing their life is a feasible option. I said nothing.

Pooga Wed Nov 15 16:06:26 2000 Re: Chris' Title > Unless Lee has a seriously long commute to work in Pittsburgh, Chris is > not Lee. Oh, sure. You accept Chris at face value, but I'm BoxJam somehow! But it is cool that I now have more titles than anybody else. :D

Michael Wed Nov 15 16:10:31 2000 Re: Chris' Title > Oh, sure. You accept Chris at face value, but I'm BoxJam somehow! Well, I don't really *know* where BoxJam is. He's on AOL. The Doodle where Little BoxJam is not understanding maps would seem to indicate that he's on Chicago's north side -- but that might be elaborate misdirection.

gopher Wed Nov 15 18:25:06 2000 Re: Chris' Title > The Doodle where Little BoxJam is not understanding maps would seem to > indicate that he's on Chicago's north side -- but that might be elaborate > misdirection. Dunno if you thought of this, but a whois on boxjamsdoodle.com gives and address in what appears to be a residential area of Glenview, IL (which is about 20 miles or so north of Chicago). I've been thinking about making a pilgrimage to there wearing a blue muumuu, but I've been having trouble finding the time (a pilgrimage to BoxJam's sounds neat and all, but not quite up to the excuse for a 600 mile road trip level.) I suppose I could call him, but that would just seem weird.

Napoleon Wed Nov 15 18:35:27 2000 Re: Chris' Title > I've been thinking about making a > pilgrimage to there wearing a blue muumuu, [...] Cool thought of the millennium: a mass pilgrimage of BoxJam fans, all converging upon Glenview, IL, all decked out in blue muumuus. Some can be carrying garbage bags and preacher's lamps. Man, wouldn't that be a freaky sight to see?

Michael Wed Nov 15 18:39:33 2000 Re: Chris' Title > Man, wouldn't that be a freaky sight to see? Boxjam: Are they still out there? Ms. Boxjam: Dammit, BJ, that's the last straw. You're out of the Webtooning business for good!

(Not that I doubted you for a second, Poog.)

No, Glenview correlates with the Doodle where Little Boxjam doesn't understand maps. Sorry, Pooga, your status as BoxJam sock puppet is forfeit.

Of course, I'm not sure of the scale to be used when measuring honor, but I'm sure whatever it is, I've been honored beyond the level which could be determined on the standard measuring devices, whatever they may be. I have this song going through my head ever since I discovered my auxilary title. It's "I'm in Love With a Girl Named Fred" from "Once Upon a Matress". If you've heard the song you probably know why.

Chris Thu Nov 16 15:16:43 2000 Re: Pooga's Title > Your name will be sung by the bards for generations to come. And they'll have a heck of a hard time trying to rhyme "Pooga".

gopher Thu Nov 16 18:01:40 2000 Re: Pooga's Title > And they'll have a heck of a hard time trying to rhyme "Pooga". Hm. Yeah, basically all there are is "meshuga","sevruga","beluga", and "Chatanooga". (On an unrelated note, I'm starting to think that m-w.com makes their site intetionally slow so that you use the dead tree version (which I would have, if my dictionary could handle glob searches)). No one said that "Pooga" needs to be rhymed, though. You could always do something like this: Pooga is great Pooga is good We should all do What Pooga would. ...except hopefully slightly more creative than that. Or, the bards could occaisonally use the full name, Pooga Poogissima, which should be much easier to rhyme.

Chris Thu Nov 16 18:26:37 2000 Re: Pooga's Title > Hm. Yeah, basically all there are is "meshuga","sevruga","beluga", and > "Chatanooga".

'Pooga got meshuga with a Chattanooga beluga while eating sevruga!' > Or, the bards could occaisonally use the full name, Pooga Poogissima, which should be much > easier to rhyme. m-w.com just gives me a bunch of Latin/Italian words, Japanese place names, as well as 'Lima', 'Yakima', and 'Ultima'. Maybe if the bards aren't Anglophones, it would work. Ah well.

And... *looks over window supply* ...actually, that's doable. *defenestrates everyone twice* *including herself* Yay!

Nah, I'm happy where I am. I'm the official instrument of violence for the entire Jihad! Which doesn't preclude anyone else from being violent, of course. It's just less official.

Stringed or brass? >Which doesn't preclude anyone else from being violent, of > course. It's just less official. I think the most violent action I've ever done has been hurling used paperback mysteries at certain unpleasant individuals who heckled me during high school (or occasionally bludgeoning said individuals with a hardback Wodehouse omnibus; I ceased the latter, though, when their heads began making dents in the book spine.) I don't know how useful that particular skill could be to the jihad, though. (Though some individuals on other message boards seem to consider my tendency towards lengthy posts to be a threat, concerned that my rambling messages will collapse upon their heads.)

gopher Fri Jan 26 13:20:26 2001 Re: Titles > Stringed or brass? Someone as graceful and refined as our High Chancellor of Defenestration is obviously a woodwind.

Napoleon Fri Jan 26 19:24:43 2001 Re: Titles > Someone as graceful and refined as our High Chancellor of Defenestration > is obviously a woodwind. Oh, please, you flatter me. I'm an accordion. People either like me, or they absolutely can't stand me. And I respond noisily when poked at.

Emsworth Fri Jan 26 12:40:28 2001 Re: Titles > I figure Minister of Pedantry would fit, if Napoleon claims the position > of High Priestess. Aw. I wish I'd thought of it. "Pompous Propoganda Procurator" would probably have been a pretty good choice as well (alliterative, and pretty well suited the jihad.) (I can't believe I'm using up my lunch break this way.)
