I wonder how many emails I'll have to send before I kae it into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Gaboomba. Anyhoo, I would like to wish ChinTsu a very happy birthday, and I enjoy reading fantasy, science fiction, humor, and exciting books. If you're into fantasy, I recommend the Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud. The third book hasn't come out yet, but the first was excellent, and the second was even better. Lizzie, I applaud your selection of music. I'm going to write more later. —Ultimate Supreme Executive Chairman Grant O. ChinTsu- happy birthday, many happy returns of the day!!! I like fantasy, science-fiction, some mysteries, and some books I'm not quite sure what genre they're in. I just finished music camp. It was really fun. For anyone who's interested, I played Beethoven quartet op. 18 no 4 first movement first violin, Mendelssohn octet first mvt. fourth violin, Bach Presto (first sonata (in G minor, I think)), and this piece by Bartok in orchestra, I think third movement, second violin. Lizzie Happy Birthday, ChinTsu! What kind of books do you people like to read? I like fantasy books mainly. Calo anor na ven, ^_^Elassë~Adæl^_^ 258. stuff and Hawaii(and rice. yum. eat rice) sorry D_Q but i couldn't resist Konichiwa, sorry i haven't emailed forever. We had 2 back up stuff and go to hawaii and get internet and all that jazz. i have never eaten so much rice. i have never been so happy. It's my birthday! I'm 13! It's the 28th of July! (in case u wanted 2 know my birthdate, messages aren't dated) 2 D_Q—i have seen Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Great movie. Much better than the old one. 2 Celbrian—Jonny Depp acts in other movies concerning chocolate? I had no idea( i'm such a book freak.) Speaking of books, maybe i ot 2 read To Kill a Mocking Bird... Sayonara, ChinTsu P.S.Weird time 2 write i know it's probably 9 at night for most of u. I absolutely loved TKAMB, but I haven't seen the Chocolate Factory yet. Is it just me, or does Johnny Depp look like Michael Jackson in that film? Think about it: straight black hair.....pale skin......it's uncanny. I have nothing against Johnny Depp, just making an observation. —Ultimate Supreme Executive Chairman Grant O. 256. Charlie and the chocolate factory and Harry potter. you can change the thingie on the front page because here comes a spolier (because I felt like it) don't worry it is in ROT13. fancr vf gur uoc naq qhzoyrqber qvrf. (ROT13 is where you rotate the alphabet 13 characters. If you wish to read what I wrote (It contains major spoilers) search google for a translator) D_Q- Totaly agree. that movie is awesome. I have seen it twice and read to kill a mocking bird twice. that quote from CatCF is awesome. Robert, please add it to the quotes section. Calo anor na ven, ^_^Elassë~Adæl^_^ is it just me or does Johnny Depp have a tendency to act in films concerning chocolate? i saw the theatrical version of a raisin in the sun last year @ the ashland oregon shakespeare festival i read to kill a mockingbird it's really good - Celebriän It’s quiet… too quiet. Anyone see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory yet? Great movie. “Everything in this room is eatable. Even I’m eatable, but that, my children is called cannibalism and is frowned on in most cultures.” Also, anyone who has not read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is hereby commanded to go read it now. It was on my summer reading list for school {along with A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansbury (also pretty good) and My Ántonia (not so much)}. It’s now one of my favorite books. ---Duncan_Quagmire, the mysterious Copied from the Links Page: Muse now has its own Wikipedia entry, though it says Robert died in 1935. (Greatly exaggerated; that was a distant ancestor.) You can also find archived articles and columns at FindArticles.com and Zinkle.com. —WM Anybody notice that Juliette (the Flamablamablous) had a question answered in the July/August 2005 Q&A column? —WM happy b-day lizzie! i went to Paris, Barcelona {spain}, the French Riviera, & Italy {gelato!} Celebriän 252. lions and tigers and bears, oh my Saturday is my 14th birthday. yay. I still can't see the cows. The ones on the page, I mean. I can see cows if I go down the street. At least, I think the cows are there still. I haven't been outside for a few days (too bloody hot- it's been reaching 100 degrees fahrenheit every single day) and sometimes they go to a different pasture or something. Lorelei- I've always seen it spelled sayonara- when I was little, I had a book called "Sayonara, Mrs. Kackleman". I also had a book called "Toothgnasher Superflash" about the Popsnorkle family's search for a new car, but that's irrelevant. I thought that gelato was Italian and Cel went to Paris which is in France which isn't Italy? Ice skating is really fun. Lizzie Hmm... Do you think there's anywhere in the world (not counting Oz) where lions, tigers, and bears really do all live in the same place? I mean, lions live in Africa; tigers, in Asia; bears... Too bad I'm not allowed to ask myself Q&A questions. —WM welcome Lorelei, good to here from u Morbid............ i still haven't gotten my new MUSE also can't spell MUSE w/ out USE, btw randomness is good - Celebriän For absolutely no reason at all, I have this urge to write to the gaboomba, which anyone with eyes can see I hardly ever do anymore. First off, I suppose it might occur more often now that, ahem, certain activites in... other, ahem, areas related to a certain muse affiliated icon have seemed to quiet down some, as of late, thus enabling me to swing by and check things out. Secondly, serious hugs and other such affection being sent in Duncan_Quagmire's general direction, for getting Invader Zim on the Hitchhiker's Guide. Which leads me to ask, are you familiar with Jhonen's other work, D_Q? Not alot of Zim fan's are, but I never know... Seriously, if JV had a street promotion team, which I personally think he's above, I'd be on it. I can't shut my mouth. I need psychiatric help. In other business relating to D_Q and his Guide requests, I shall check out braveSaintSaturn... but I want him to look up Birthday Massacre, In Tenebris, and Silent Muse (tee hee, I said "muse"). Talk about your heavily synthesized darkwave mess... if you like that space pop stuff, you'll fare pretty well with industrial, I'll bet. Wow, that was mostly about D_Q... well, go with the flow, to sound truly rediculous. Love all, Morbid
konichiwa, I'm back from girl scout camp. I have a new email address. Not much else. Camp was pretty good. The food was great.I sound really boring don't I. My mom got giant sparklers for independence day. Only 16 more days till' Hawaii. Seriously brain dead, Chintsu Hey, I'm a long-time reader (of Muse), first time writer! Ich Heiße Lorelei! I got the new issue today, and inconveniently placed at the head of the magazine was the begining of Thea T.'s nasty letter. What I want to tell her is that these are all nice theories you have, but can you prove any of them? That was the point of the article; that bullies have low self-esteem and the conceited do drugs shouldn't be taught as facts in schools because there is as much evidence for them as there is against. Now that I have that off my chest... On optical illusions, I have this to say: I did not see the nonexistant triangle until I read in the article that I was supposed to! I also did not see all the cows running to the right, some were looking up! The wheels did not move! Am I the only person that can see a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimentional solid for what it is: 2-D? I guess I'm just sour because I've seen at least five-hundered of these things that are supposed to prove that people are stupid, and I'm not stupid! Call me high-self-esteemed or low-self-esteemed or whatever you suppose it is! Now that I have that off my chest... Hey, Chintsu, the Japanse for goodbye is Romanized sayoonara, I hope you know. Well, I'll be around the Gaboomba, or at least when the next issue comes out. Until then, ihr haben spaß. -Lorelei • i'm back • i ate way to much gelato • i kno a few viola jokes, thanks for giving me more, i'll post mine when this damn jet-lag goes away • welcome hannah • as long as there will be german here, u should kno that my german nick-name is Uebelnuss, which means evil nut • band recomendation: Tempest, a celtic rock group whose website i will try to find • i have a Mac 0s X, but i don't think it's a tiger - Celebriän I got the new magazine today! Of course, it arrived just as I was going to my violin lesson, and my brother (19) stole it, so he got to read it before I did.. He especially liked the scissor/ship thing. For some reason the cow Kanizsa illusion doesn 't work for me. It just looks like a bunch of black and peach splotches. I do, however, see the robber.. Is he also supposed to be a cow? Mistrustful person I am, I actually covered the rubik's cube with sticky notes. It's really strange- the more you cover up, the darker the lower square looks.. I tried the fingernail sun speckles- it was really neat. It mostly looked white, but then I saw that there were red and green speckles. I only saw red and green- maybe there were a few blue, but it was almost all red and green. I've probably seen it before, since it was sort of in the white lines of light that happen when you do that, but I guess I never noticed it before, if any of that makes any sense. I'm really nearsighted, but I wear contacts, so my eyesight (with them in) is actually a bit better than normal. I also didn't stay out very long- it's about 100º (Fahrenheit) and humid outside. I was reading Thea T's letter, and many conceited people I know feel very good about themselves, hence them being conceited. I think that the grammer of that sentence (mine, not the one in the letter) is messed up. Oh well. Also, it sort of seems to me like Thea got "self-confident" and "self-esteem" mixed up, no offense.. And _my_ health textbook definently isn't accurate. But it was interesting reading. And then Verity W. was hilarious... < /ramblings about mag> Juliette (from ages ago) - thanks, but I'll keep spelling my name L-i-z-z-i-e. Or L-z-e, when I am feeling lazy. For the HG2Gab- The Portsmouth Sinfonia- the world's worst orchestra! I think their website is http://www.portsmouthsinfonia.com/ Lizzie a storm just blew through. The power was out and i was in agony. I needed to get to the Fan Page! 2 Lizzie- i have Mac Os X, not sure if it's tiger or not siyonara, P.S. R.E.M. originally sung "Its the End of the World as we Know it(and i feel fine)" 244. of tenrecs and more tenrecs. yay. Mac OS X Tiger. Hannah- don't let them worry you- we're Mostly Harmless. Sometimes. For the final, in summer school speech, you have to make a speech. Logical, no? Anyway, I did mine on tenrecs. Teacher: What do you want to do yours on? Librarian: What are you researching? Friend: What're you doing for your final? But I got a 99 on the speech, so all is good. Lizzie Whoaaaaa! This is crazy! I was sitting and reading Muse one day, when the question suddenly hit me: How is it that this magazine is so awesome??? I have searched the magical realm of the Internet, finding no answer. I have decided to ask other people in the hope they can help. -Ultimate Supreme Executive Chairman Grant O. 241. stuff (i am running out of things 2 put here) Konichi, 2 Hannah- Welcome 2 the fan mail page. Maybe you can give yourself an alias or nickname. ( not that u have 2) Don't listen 2 Duncan_Quagmire. i only bite on mondays. (i slap people across the face on tuesdays, give nugies on wednesdays, kick on thursdays, scratch on fridays, threaten people with knives on Saturdays, and punch on Sundays.) As you can see, i'm very inesent. ^_^ Quote of the day- For the HG2GAB R.E.M.- A band liked by my parents. Suprisingly, they're very good. Just google them. Siyonara, Chintsu, Japanese bug extrordanaire 240. As Mr. Ed always said, "May the horse be with you." Hi Hannah. Make yourself comfortable. We only bite on days ending in -Y. Don’t listen to your mattress --- be a rebel & remove the tags. Joke-thing— What’s the difference between a bad golfer and a bad skydiver? A bad golfer goes Whack, “Dang!”; a bad skydiver goes “Dang,” Whack! Two more recommendations. Both are bands. 1. braveSaintSaturn---Some call it astro-rock; some call it space-pop. Yes, it kinda sounds stupid, but *GASP* it’s not! 2. Eisley---A special kind of music is for you. Go to Orange Gold and Green for Eisley videos, live MP3s and unreleased tracks. ---Duncan_Quagmire, the über super wunderbar P.S. Super double bonus points to whoever can tell me where I got my subject from. Hm.... Does it involve the letter K? —WM Dear Muse, I just love your magazine!!! Everything about it makes me jump for joy! (Muse is one of the few things that do. :D) I think that I am addicted to it... but, that's not a bad thing! Muse gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling... (!) Kokopelli, I have a suggestion for a pie flavor... Strappleberry and mousepad pie!!! Mmmhh... then you can throw it at Urania...or or... Mimi... or or Chad... or or THE EDITORS (ooh ah!) Tell me how it goes. Oh, I do hope you know that there are other things that go into the pie... but, I trust you to add them as needed. Good Luck! May the Muse force be with you! (A tribute to Star Wars III.) Keep up the fabulific work!!! Your addicted reader, Hannah C. Hannah: This sounds like a Muse Mail submission, so I've forwarded it to the editors at the magazine (muse@caruspub.com) in addition to posting it here. —WM 238. subjects, like self-esteem, are overrated. pickles. yum. eat pickles. D_Q- there was a guy today in speech wearing an Invader Zim t-shirt.. I feel really unobservant now about E~A's name.. at least it only took me 156 messages to notice it.. 156.. that's a nice number- 2^2*3*13. What exactly is the difference between Sindarin and Quenya? I've heard the muffin joke before, but not exactly with that wording... Viola jokes: How is lightning like a violist's fingers? A conductor and a violist are standing in the middle of the road. which one do you run over first, and why? What do a viola and a lawsuit have in common? Why do people tremble with fear when someone comes into a bank carrying a violin case? Why do people tremble with fear when someone comes into a bank carrying a viola case? Many many many viola jokes in the world. Lizzie Maybe we should have a database of favorite jokes or something, like we have with the quotes... Konichiwa, 2 Lizzie-i knew that, but i couldn't come up with any other ideas. I'd rather swim in the ocean anyway. And i'll put my mat in a shady spot.n_n I still get great shave ice so there! :P and i get hot chocolate. We might go up on the volcanoes which are really cold. And of course, if its a hot day my chocolate bar will be hot.>:) Here's a lame joke: So there are these 2 muffins baking in an oven, and one says, "my, it's hot in here", and the other says, "Oh my gosh! A talking muffin!" lol :D Please Post: "I smile because your my sister. I laugh because there's nothing you can do about it." (i don't have a sister, but it's still funny) Siyonara, Chintsu 236. In response to messages No. 231 and No. 234 'Tis okay to be a "nerdy little ringer-geek" as you put it, Cel. (pronounced Kehl) I knew how to pronounce your name all along As for my name. Well hmm... A friend gave me the name Adæ a while back. I decided I liked it but with an l at the end. I also decided that Elassë was better than Alisé because the sound the same but Elassë is kind of Elvish (Sorry, I can never remember whether it is Sindarin or Quenya) My name is pronounced Eh-la-say Ah-day-ehl. As for the ^_^s, those are part of my signature on email which is how I contact this page. They atomaticly (sp?) appear on a new message. Also Lizzie, I too am not going anywhere 'til July. (I was in Paris over spring break though^_^) Calo anor na ven, ^_^Elassë~Adæl^_^ "Adæ" is Latin for "of Adam," which sounds like something you'd hear in Narnia. Though I suppose Aslan would call you a Daughter of Eve. —WM The Native American tribes could have taken a wrong turn and migrated to Africa across the Bering Strait instead of to the Americas and then found it nicer living there without any of the cowboys running around going "bang" and with less Realtors ("are you sure you won't consider buying this very nice vacant lot? Why not? Besides the fact that it's exactly what you don't want, it's really an ideal location- I'm sure you would enjoy it") and so decided to just forget the whole Ellis Island thing ("Darling, going through customs is always such a hassle") and instead just keep the name and ditch the tepees and hang out in Africa and the buffalo might have been already there (I think the ones in N. America are called bison, actually, although I might be wrong), roaming around and singing cowboy songs and so they (the Native Americans, not the buffalo, although the buffalo might have, they could have been super-buffalo, bred to extremely high intelligence and having big sharp pointy purple fangs dripping blood and glowing red eyes and at night they and their buffalo gals could have danced to the light of the moon) imported a few deer from overseas and gotten some antelope so the deer wouldn't be lonely and then made a home on the range in Africa with the buffalo roaming and the skys not being cloudy and everything.. I mean, if they found out about the hippos at the zoos they probably wouldn't be able to kill them and take their hides, seeing as the hippos kind of need them to keep their insides in and the zookeepers might not think kindly about it... Man, that has a heck of a lot of run-ons in it. Lizzie Why is everyone leaving? I'm not going anywhere until July.. Chintsu- sunbathing is bad for you. ^_^ And anyway, I am unfortunate enough to live in Texas- the last time it snowed was 9 years ago. It almost NEVER gets cold enough to need a sweater and hot chocolate... Was the "l" always on the end of Elassë~Adæl? I really don't remember it.. sorry, I'm a bit out of it- I went to sleep at about 11ish and woke up at 7ish.. Summer school is evil... What was the movie Madagascar about anyway? Yeah, I don't watch very many movies.. Lizzie E~A changed her name between messages 74 and 78. The new name seems to have been a bit ambiguous at first, probably because of the ^_^ glyphs she always writes on either side of it. —WM 233. I was the turkey all along! ME!!! Howdy, folks. As of today, school is now officially OUT!! It kinda gives you warm, fuzzy feelings inside. I suppose this whole Juliet/Maine thing means that the musical probably won’t be finished during summer vacation as the H2GGab so claims may happen. I hereby recommend the following items: 1. Invader Zim---One of my favorite TV shows (& Morbid’s too, I believe). It’s now off the air, due to some stupid people at Nickelodeon, but there are DVDs. Buy them. Watch them. Love them. Go here for more info. 2. MacGyver---An amazing TV show from the 80s and early 90s. Also on DVD. Go here, here, or here for more info. 3. Life Is Beautiful---A 1997 Italian movie. The American DVD has English subtitles and dubbing. Go here for more info. My math joke of the day: There was a certain American Indian tribe with a few strange traditions. One of these was that each person was named after what kind of animal hide they wore. If you wore the hide of a deer, you were named “Squaw Deer Hide.” If you had the hide of a buffalo, you were named “Squaw Buffalo Hide.” Now, some tribe members had some rather exotic hides, for North America at least. The most notable was Squaw Hippopotamus Hide. Squaw Hippopotamus Hide wasn’t just named after a hippopotamus. She was kind of large but very, very strong. Each year she would enter the tribal wrestling competition and defeat everyone, male or female. This began to annoy some people. They looked for a way to take down Squaw Hippopotamus Hide. Two parents --- Squaw Buffalo Hide and Squaw Deer Hide --- came up with an idea. They decided that they should have their two kids fight Squaw Hippopotamus Hide together as a team. They went and asked the Indian chief if this was okay, and he gave them permission to do it. The day of the big wrestling match, everyone came out to watch the fight. Once the fight started, though, it didn’t stop. It went on for hours and hours, until finally the chief called an end to the fighting. It was late and everyone was getting tired. The chief said he would go into his teepee, think long and hard about who should win, and come out when he had an answer. So he did. It was a tough decision, but after almost a whole week and much contemplation, the chief finally stepped out of his teepee. The whole tribe was silent as the chief announced: “The Squaw of the Hippopotamus Hide is equal to the sons of the squaws of the other two hides.” Peace, Love, and Jellybeans, ---Duncan_Quagmire, the mediocre Nonsense! Mediocrity and Muse don't mix. As a Q&A columnist, however, I feel compelled to point out that this tribe must have found out about hippopotami at the zoo or by watching nature specials on TV. Native Americans are native to, well, America; hippopotami, to Africa. Hardly ever the twain shall meet. —Your ever-over-literal WM Really, it's not that hard to pronounce. Chin. Say the ts together as one sound. The u is long. There you have it. Chintsu. Or .... Or ChinTsu. (I used those spellings because those are the spelling the Japanese dictionary uses.) i will be leaving for a camp in a few weeks, but it's only for 6 days so you won't miss me 2 much. ( i have a weird feeling that my font just changed..........) Did i mention. I'M GOING TO HAWAII THIS SUMMER!!!!!!! And I'll be spending a year there! A whole year! i will be soaking up rays on the beach while you are inside with a sweater on drinking hot chocolate! WOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!! (OK, maybe i envy the hot chocolate part, but that is beside the point!) Don't worry though. i can still keep contact on my dad's laptop. Please add this Your eyes are purple -pipS Siyonara, Chintsu P.S.Maybe that letter will make them digitally insert tenrecs into Madagascar. We should keep our hopes up. i'm leaving for Paris in a few hours. but i'll only b gone untill the 29th {june}. this is gonna be a rather short msg, but there's something i have to tell Queen J b4 i depart. so here it is: in Sindarin {the elvish of Beleriand} the letter "c"is hard {pronounced like a "k"} instead of soft {like a "s"}. mon nom est Sindarin, alors it est pronounced more like Kelebriän than like Selebriän. sry, i'm such a nerdy little ringer-geek............. - Celebriän Ahem. What ever happend to me???? Calo anor na ven, ^_^Elassë~Adæl^_^ Good question. What ever did happen to you, (A/E)(l)(a/e/i)(s/ss)(ë/ay/ey/eigh)-(A)(d)(a/e/æ)(l/ll/lle)? —WM When in doubt, eat chocolate. When not in doubt, eat chocolate anyway. Eagles, may sore, but weasels don't get caught in jet turbines.

228. WE MUST TAKE ACTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can only be shocked beyond belief. NO TENRECS?!?! My suggestion is that the Musophiles write a very angry letter demanding an apology for the highly nefarious omission of tenrecs from the movie Madagascar. Of course, the wrong direction of the boat is another matter entirely. • I will be leaving tomorrow and not returning until Aug. 11. Ai! [Camp in Maine, for those who care.] • Before I leave you all for such a fiendishly extended period of time, I recommend Eats, Shoots and Leaves by Lynne Truss. It's a very good and funny book on punctuation. • I commend Frans de Waal, a primatologist and hole-poker who wrote Chimpanzee Politics (1982) and The Ape and the Sushi Master (????) • How do you even pronounce Chintsu? • We are the knights of Camelot/Brave and strong and able/in our spare time/we make up rhyme and impersonate Clark Gable • We art the Musophiles of Muse-a-zine/Cute and smart and incisive/we're pleasant but we can be so very quite decisive • OTHER SPELLINGS FOR LIZZIE: Lissie, Liszie, Lizsie, Lizsee, Liszee, and/or Lizzzei. • OTHER SPELLINGS FOR CHINTSU: Khintsu, Chiintsu, Chintsoo, Chintsui, and/or Chimtsui • OTHER SPELLINGS FOR DUNCAN_QUAGMIRE: Dunkan_Kqagmire, Duuncan_Quuagmire, Diuncan=Quaagmiire, and/or Duuncan_Kwagmiere • OTHER SPELLINGS FOR CELEBRIAN: Seleebriiian, Seileibriiaaan, Seilebrian, Seeilebreean, and/or Seeleebriian • OTHER SPELLINGS FOR ROBERT COONTZ: Roberyt Koountz, Robbeeirt Koontysz, and/or Rrrobert Koontsyz. Good tidings to you all. Have a great summer w/o me, and I shall return promptly-the 12th, perhaps. N'avoded. Calo anor na ven. Au revoir. Belain na le, my friends.

CIAO, EVERYONE! 227. i bet you can guess it:stuff Oopsie I forgot the second part 2 that quote. It is: "When not in doubt, eat chocolate anyway." 2 Lizzie-Which college in Iowa?(No, i am no involved in the Iowa vs. ISU conflict.) I am glad 2 know my stuffiness is affecting everyone. 2 Celebrian- Who the they who want to take over the world anyway? Y don't you go 2 the Netherlands? They have some good chocolate. And here's another 1-"Eagles may sour, but weasels don't get caught in jet turbines." Siyonara, Chintsu Thou weedy clay-brained fustilarian! - Celebriän No time to add them today, but maybe soon. Are they all certified Shakespeare? —WM
225.Stuff (ooh, original title!!!!)
(and no, I am not Chintsu in disguise) yay, just took the World History Credit by Exam first and second semester tests (in other words, I just tried to test out of it. I get scores back in a month, roughly). I'm never doing that again- really time consuming. My brother goes to college in Iowa... I assume the way LG came up with the name was that either a. he couldn't think of anything else and he already had Pwt, or b. he was visited in the night by aliens from outer space or c. none of the above or d. something else. I guess that covers everything There's this really great website- a Shakespearean insulter!!!! It either takes insults from Shakespeare's plays or generates them in (I guess) Elizabethen English!!!!

Konichiwa, Well you sure did find out my identity fast.( Well maybe considering that i was the only Iowegian in that issue, maybe it wasn't that hard.) In response to Andrew, yes, that movie is highly inaccurate. If the ship the animals were on was bound for Kenya from New York, in was much more likely to run into mainland Africa. ( Unless of course you consider that the boat was somewhere in the Arabian sea when the penguins highjacked it. But even then, the Seychelles and the Comoros are in the way and considering that the ship had been sailing for only a day or so, that is highly unlikely.) And did i mention the duck seen? There are no ducks on Madagascar! Especially not yellow ones! And there are (live) people on Madagascar! And what the heck are Foosa anyway?!!!!!!!! And-(Oops got a little carried away with myself there.) "When in doubt, eat chocolate." Now there's a quote i could live by. Siyonara, P.S.We need more info on how LG came up with Aeiou. 222. You read the New York times, don't you? (sponged nosed dolphins is a big clue) Hi! take your time but add all those things I suggested to the gaboomba! Calo anor na ven, ^_^Elassë~Adæl^_^ I do read it, but I found out about the dolphins before the Times wrote about them. (We science journalists have our sources.) Here's another good news story from my friends at News@nature.com. —WM

On Thursday night, I saw Madadascar and *GASP* there were NO TENRECS!!! ZERO! ZIP! I am shocked that nobody is talking about tenrecs except you "Musophiles." Sheesh, and the "Goverment" wants to blah blah blah... Sheesh! Andrew R. Konichiwa Hi here's another story- So these people live on an island. And one day it got all stormy, and this pillar of red descended from the sky, and a big black bird with huge claws comes and carries of a mother and child. So the people go to there wise woman and ask for help. And the wise woman says, "you have seen the dreaded Medacrane". " To defeat it, you must dig a pit." So they dig a pit, but it doesn't work and the Medacrane carries of a boy. Once again they, go to the wise woman. The wise woman remembers that she has forgotten something. She tells them to go kill a loon, stuff it with sugar, and put it at the bottom of the pit. The do so. Medacrane comes once again, and begins to fly toward a young man. But then it sees the loon, flies over to it, and begins to peck at the loon. Then the people jump on the Medacrane and kill it. They all live happily ever after. The end and ze moral of ze story is- " A loon full of sugar helps the Medacrane go down" Please place my quotes in the words of wisdom, noting that unless noted, they are from anonymous sources , either unknown or prefering to remain unknown. As to some clues to my identity, i was published in the lie detecting issue and i live in the hawkeye state. Siyonara, Chintsu Konichiwa So the story goes- This one king dies. After his death, this one palace servant managed to steal the throne. He takes it to his house, which is made of grass. But he realizes that if he lets it sit on the floor with the other chairs, people will notice it. So he stows it up in the rafters. One day, while he's eating, the throne falls out of the rafters and knocks him dead. The end. And ze moral of ze story is-"Those who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones." Hehe.

215. A Message from the Great Pheebs Concerning Neopia and the Pets That Inhabit It Inspired by Robert's neopet, musepet_chad, I have decided to create a pet for Musers. The one thing is, I'd like to make it a group pet - I'll post his/her user name and password up on this site, and people can sign on a do stuff that they think best for it. Fun! But first I need at least one person to say they will go on occasionally to check on the little blighter. All in favor of this movement, say "I!" or "Aye!" or, "Llamas in pajamas!" or "Yipee!" or "What-oh, mates!" or "MEEEEP!" or "Meese!" or "Wha?....Oh!" or "Heh...Sounds Mostly Harmless," Or whatever random saying appears in your head at the time. So go ahead - Say it! Yours Truly, -The Pheebs Why don't you all just adopt poor old Chad? I'll leave him at the pound at a prearranged time, and you can scoop him up. He'll be delighted, I'm sure. —WM You know, I was just looking through the archives, and I found that message where Phiona O'Malley was teaching everyone to "speaketh Olde English." And than I was thinking, ha, that's funny, and than suddenly remembered Phiona O'Malley was my alter ego for a while, to prevent stalkers. I had forgotten about that message. No kidding. Heh. ... LLAMAS! LLAMAS! ALL LLAMAS REPORT TO THE KITCHEN FOR THE EATING OF TSZADZIKI! ... hehehehhe. That was kinda spontaneous. But being random is what I do best. Toodles, people! Yo you said you wanted more entries to the HG2GB so here it goes Things i like random quotes Zap Mama—a totally awsome African group with some really great songs(not all in english) Naruto—A Japanese manga about a ninjas and a fox demon (mentioned in the April 2005 issue). The main character's an idiot, but the books are great. Muse (doesn't everyone?) Pac the Man 2—an upgrade of the old arcade game with much better graphics. You can get it 4 free at <www.twocows.com> end of story Only 3 days of school for me (WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!) Y is there so much elvish here? Japanese Rules!!!!!!!!! Siyonara, P.S. My name comes from the Japanese for insect. Greetings, Chin! I'll add your entries to the "Things We Like" section when I get a chance. Meanwhile, could you supply URLs for links to Zap Mama and Naruto? (By the way, I'm told that my name in Japanese, Kun Tsu, means Mr. Big City—aptly enough, for a Washingtonian.) —WM Erm, sorry.I accidently clicked send. In any case, I will continue with my list Things for Gamboombaers to Do: 1.Think of ways to accuse the editors of unfairly tossing things in the FMP 2.Go to www.makingfiends.com (You people will ADORE this site!) 3.Send a petition to the Random House Dictionary writers about the plural of Moose becoming Meese. 4. Yay! Time to be spontaneous! -The Pheeb! Konichiwa, You know the Q&A where they talked about the first video game? It's called pong and you can get it on some computers. It's harder than it looks! The computer has kicked my butt every time i've play. I quite agree with the latest anonymous writer. If the plural of goose is geese, why isn't the plural of moose meese? there needs to be a sixth party: BLOOD SUCKING CHERRIES!!!!!!!!!!!! *evil laughter* Siyonara, 210. subject | predicate | direct object, or if the predicate is a being verb subject | predicate \ object oy, I hated diagramming sentences... then again, I hated the entire year of English (we don't have LA/Reading - they just call it English. Makes sense, I suppose)... I used to get a lot of e-mails from Eze-Momoh-wanna-bes... then I changed my e-mail. Summer school started today! Two hours of sitting in a lecture room in an uncomfortable right-handed desk, reading various Health modules, wondering if I should ask to switch seats because I'm left-handed.... Yeah, I saw the wikipedia articles about a week ago.. I was editing some other stuff, but I didn't do anything with those.. I agree with Celebriän, we can't trust Larry... Divinely and spiritually motivated... nice... I suppose it would be kind of.. redundant.. to submit Muse/Larry/Muses to the HG2Gab? I submit: Pete Seeger (folk singer), Joan Baez (another folk singer), Arlo Guthrie (folkslinger), Woody Guthrie (ditto), Isaac Asimov (sci-fi writer), Agatha Christie (mystery writer), Gilbert and Sullivan (wrote operettas), Klezmatics (klezmer group), Sun Ra and his Intergalactic Arkestra (free jazz), Huun-Huur-Tu (Tuvan group, I don't really know how to describe them), Shostakovich (classical composer), Mendohlsohn (ditto) various other people, Limelighters, etc. Maybe not all of them, but that's a portion of what I listen to/read... We have barn swallows on our front porch and a purple martin colony in the back yard.. A lot of them have fledged by now, though.. Why do all of the Nigerian Scheme e-mails you posted seem to be from Senegal? I think I'll go back to sleep now.. Lizzie You have eclectic taste! By the way, Joan Baez's first cousin John helped me answer a question in the January 2005 Q&A column. Professor John Baez is the world's friendliest mathematical physicist, and his Web site is full of fascinating mind-bending stuff.—WM Juliette, how do I put Kiador on my passport? Or do I simply go there? I'd like to see a entirely turquoise palace. How do people get around?....Wait! I know! Mooses! (They should be called MEESE!) and european swallows carrying coconuts. Speaking of swallows and coconuts, I think Monty Python should be added to the Thing We Like section of the Hitchikers Guide to the Gamboomba. Who couldn't like the beloved Pythons? ~~~~~~ Things for Gamboombaers to Do: Hello? Who are you, and where is the rest of your message? —WM Aha. continued above. i didn't have nething 2 do w/the wiki entries either, however, we definately can't trust Larry, no matter what he says. "it not just a magazine, it's a state of mind" lol, i luv it. if ne1 finds a store out there entirely devoted 2 striped knee-sox pleeze tell me. i should b gettting my yearbook soon........ -Celebriän
In Smart Pies, you will recall (***SPOILER JUST AHEAD***), Kokopelli tricks the evil Darien Drinkwater by going undercover as "Dr. Eze Momoh." The Fan Page hasn't heard from the good doctor himself yet, but we have been getting a lot of e-mail lately from Eze Momoh wannabes (or might-as-well-bes). For example: 207.1 Sammy & Mother Attn, I know that this proposal might be a surprise to you but it as an emergency to our condition with my mother here in dakar senegal, Be bless as you help me and my mother to transfer and invest our money in your country. I am Sammy Camara with My Mother from the republic of Sudan in Central Africa Dafur, now seeking for refuge in Dakar Senegal under the(UNHCR)united nation high commission for refuge with my mother. I got your contact during a desperate search here in Dakar for a possible investment transaction. My (late) father HON DR. AHMED CAMARA, who was the former ministre of finance and economy in Sudan before he was assinated by the rebbles in the captal city of Khartoon 2003. And all our properties was totally destroyed. However, we managed to escape with some of my father's documents covering $18.5 Million dollars(Eighteen Million Five Hundered Thousand us dollars Only) which is presently deposited safely in a Bank here in Dakar on my name as the only son of the family and the next of kin. the Bank have approved to transfer the fund deposited on my name but we are looking for a trust and reaible foreign partner who will assist us to transfer and inves the fund in his country. ... 207.2 Hello from Senegal..... Dear Sir, I know this letter will come to you as a surprise because we don't have previous contact or arrangment,before but kindly take it as an offer of investment assistance.I got your contact through the NET from my seriousness and anxiousness in contacting a reputable foreigner who will assist me in investing overseas and have decided to seek your personal assistance in this transaction for future benefit of both parties. I am Miss vivian mordi, a Sierra-Leonian now seeking nassylum in Dakar-Senegal under UNHCR).My father (late) chief Dr mordi was the managing director of Rainbow Gold and Diamond Mine company in (KENEMA) Sierra-Leone, but was killed during the civil war by the rebels,but before his untimely death,while he was in the hospital,he told me of some vital deposit documents in his strong room which bears the total sum of six million five hundred thousand united states dollars(US 6,500,000.00)... 207.3 HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL Dear Permit me to inform you of my desire of going into relationship with you. I got your name and contact from the above name I choose.I prayed over it and selected your name among other names due to its esteeming nature and the recommendations given to me as a reputable and trust worthy person that I can do business with and by the recommendation,I must not hesitate to confide in you for this simple and sincere relationship. I am Miss ROSE KABILA the only daughter of late Chief & Mrs. Dikko Akeem KABILA My father was a very wealthy gold and dimond merchant in dakar,the economic capital of senegal,my father was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their outings on a business trip. Dear Friend, I am Mr ABDULIAH NDEYI the Financial Controller in charge of Auditing and Accounting section of first national bank senegal in West Africa, with due respect and regards, I write to solicit your assistance and collaboration in actualising a business/financial transaction.I decided to contact you on this business transaction hoping that it will be very beneficial to both of us at its succesful conclusion. As it may interest you to know, your contact was obtained at the office of the American Embassy in Lome-Togo as I was going through some business directories. I was divinely and spiritually motivated to pick your e-mail specially to champion this. The amount is large, accepted, but I have the feeling that you can conveniently handle it without any problem. During our investigation and auding in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased person who died in November 1997 in a plane crash. The fund has been dormant in his account under our custody without any claim of the fund either from his family or relation before our discovery to this development. Our financial policy stipulates that if a current account is not operated for more than 7 years, the proceed of that account is confiscated and taken over by the bank. Personally, I kept this information after the discovery secret between me and my partner. We also smartly audited the account to sooth our purpose for a future plan. This plan is now suitable for execution as we have done all the spade work against future findings. The said amount was USD$14m (Fourteen million, United States Dollars)... "Divinely and spiritually motivated," eh? He may think so, but I sense the handiwork of Intelligent Air. (Note to self: avoid Dakar, Senegal. Much too much excitement there.) —WM 206. tomorrow, today will be yesterday. NUTELLA IS AWESOME!!! *searches google to see if Nutella has a website* they do: http://www.nutellausa.com/start.htm another site: http://members.tripod.com/~NutellaFans/indexe.html Besides Nutella I recommend That Thing You Do! A website http://www.shewasblind.org/ttyd/ It isn't a good website so WATCH THE MOVIE!!! We will get our yearbooks this thursday the 2nd of June. Yay! Calo anor na ven, ^_^Elassë~Adæl^_^ 205. fear not, I come. Wait, I come, fear me! A Letter from the Nonexistent But Still Cool Palace of Kiador Yeah, yeah, Robert, I hear ya. I recommend Les Rita Mitsouko, a French techno/rock/genreless group that I personally heart. Heart it and heart it and heart it. And Emily the Strange, Nutella, uh... I personally like "Muse is like cheescake. It's buttery and goes well with strawberries." I know—CACTUS! Everybody loves cactus, right? "Spine me not, for I shall spine thou with me pointy spikes..." sort of thing. Plus, of course, French, spooks, poltergeists, and um...that's it. I hope that's enough. I personally like the idea of a symphony of purple. Here in Kiador, the nonexistent palace is painted turquoise. It's got lots of minarets, too. Hoopy, isn't it? "If everything was under control it wouldn't be cool and froody. Hand me the raprod, Plate Captain." -Zaphod Beeblebrox, or rather Douglas Adams. QUEEN JULIETAINI THE FLAMABLAMABLOUS OF KIADOR, alias Agent NBESI, Nobody Expects the Spanish Inquisition 2 more days?!?!?!?!?!? not fair! i have 2 more weeks of school left{but the last 1 hardly counts} g2g do french homework now Namárië, Celebriän |
