The LitNeT Town crier.

[Nightshade]

The newspaper you can rely on for totally fictional and half factual reports on what is going on in the Literature Network Community.
And the first Item we have to report is that Nightshade has wayyyy too much free time.
The Forum book club is reading Thomas hardy's Return of the native.
Jay is looking for a reliable Recipe for life.
While in the Poetry Post (http://www.online-poetry.com/) section Satirical Jesterfield (http://www.online-poetry.com/poem/156) is the highest rated poem and Taliesin's World of shadows (http://www.online-poetry.com/poem/5) is the most popular.
There has been no new news on the whereabouts of the missing Troll Trolley anyone with any leads should contact the missing trolls department at the National Globe Trotting Toys Association (NGTTA)
Quite interesting side notes are:
a geek is a drink ( i think)
2 part reading
3 parts Forum

So ends the first edition
:p

[Bongitybongbong]

i looked geek up in the dictionary and it's a person that bites the heads off of chickens.

[Nightshade]

Thankyou for sending in your opinion to the newspaper.. the editor would like to point out that this is a LitNET slang invented apparantly last night by scher in the live chat (page 26 I belive)
:D

[subterranean]

My my....talking about the "love" to the forum...:nod:

Say, can I post personal ads? ;)

[Nightshade]

yupp anything everything is welcome here!
Well with in the rules, atleast:p

[subterranean]

which are...?



Well with in the rules, atleast:p

[Jay]

The forum rules, you know, if it's got anything to do with politics (current), hands off and such, I'm sure you must have heard about that ;)

Latest news:
Jay finaly found out the reliable recipe for Life! Copyrighted B-Mental... if you don't know how to mix it, improvise and say 'here's your Life, sir/ma'am' :D

[Pensive]

Pensive is a free person now as her exams are over.

[Nightshade]

The Headlines
Mono has been gone 9 days.
Trolley is still missing. :(
On a slightly more upbeat note Nightshade was killed 7 times in 2 pages.
The Chosen one has yet to appear. And The prophecy seems to be doomed to fade to obscurity.
There has not been a role play for ages.
IN the forum book club it looks like Love in time of cholera is finally on its 3rd attempt going to win by one vote..or we will be doomed too another 19th century novel. :S
Causes for excessive violence and rage in todays youth is being addressed in General Chat.


fresh off the press
DANCING NANA BRUTALLY BUTCHERED!
As This issue was being posted the Embessy of smilies issued a stament confirming the murder of the beloved Banana Nana. As yet the details are sketchy but it seems that some monster ate him!
http://www.websmileys.com/sm/animal/1173.gif
Is this the face of the one responsible?
The Crier wants to hear from YOU!

[subterranean]

Sub's news:

Sub is still don't understand what trolley means :blush:

[Nightshade]

The mystery of The Troll uncovered!

trolley: the world trotting troll (http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12362&highlight=tour+2005) was lost err ok misplaced somwhere between Iceland (helga) and the UK (Nightshade) we suspect she might have been troll napped by evil Nome forces intenet on destroying the trolls ( or that is the Crier theory anyway) .
Some belive she did not want to visit the heat of Egypt and took a long but temporary detour.

[subterranean]

Is that link a serious one?

[Nightshade]

is it ever! yes, this is a respectable establishment everything we print is tottally serious:brow:

[papayahed]

I am sending pictures of trolly to Interpol as we speak.

[Koa]

Pensive is a free person now as her exams are over.

Is Pensive a She? :eek2: :confused:

[subterranean]

I suppose so :)

[baddad]

I am sending pictures of trolly to Interpol as we speak.

....it might be quite funny if you actually did that.......and who knows, maybe someone there would help out on a lark..............and yeah, feel free to use MY return address, I fear nothing.............

[samercury]

Pensive is a free person now as her exams are over.

Make that the opposite for me please :D

[subterranean]

Well, 'tis good to see that you're still smiling there sammy ;)

[Pensive]

Pensive is happy because she has got the results of her exams.

hurray, its weekend.

[Perspicacity]

I hope those results brought happiness Pensive. My exams did, and I'm so happy :D Good luck to all with exam anghst, and a special good luck to you Sammy! :wave:

[papayahed]

....it might be quite funny if you actually did that.......and who knows, maybe someone there would help out on a lark..............and yeah, feel free to use MY return address, I fear nothing.............

I checked the Interpol site, when it comes to missing children (there was no category for rubber) only the local law enforcment agencies can report missing children to Interpol. Now we just have to decide which locality should gett his ball rolling. Would it be ihrocks? helga? nightshade? Not papaya!

[samercury]

Yay! Exams are over...almost...still have one more.....at least it's week-end :D

[Nightshade]

Today has been a day of gains and losses....
shea has returned :banana: as has the dancing nana
but weve lost rachel *sniff*
and both Mono and trolley are both still missing .
_______________________________________________

We are goning to nominate a member of the year!! isnt that cool!
We would like to hear your opinions on the matter....

Kilted exile has returned dince the last issue of this and umm let see there was a suiting of Master Bong recently as well
this month the forum book club is finally reading love in time of cholera after 3 attempts to get it voted and sources belive that Scher is over the moon ( Im not but that the way the cookie crumbles):D

on a note of interest the editor whises everyone a happy unbirthday!
:D

[NNoah3]

We are short ten members to reach 9000 members, maybe we are going to start the new year with more than 10000. :nod:

[jakobin]

do we want 10000 members? the whole forum then becomes so impersonal.

although maybe it will be fun, as long as we have many active users.

[Koa]

I am visiting the forum at this late hour following Nighty's order :D

And I think it would be a good idea to delete some users who never posted...the ones that joined like 3 years ago and never returned for example... uhm maybe I should suggest it to the boss here, but I dont want to sound like a know-it-all...after all it's his place and if that doesnt bother him, I should just mind my own business ;)

[subterranean]

Koa, I thought you don't take orders from anyone? (exclude your boss :D )


Smeagol aka Gollum was suggesting about deleting inactive members on the other thread. Though I don't quite agree with him, I think his idea of establishing a closer and more personal forum is sweet :nod:

[Koa]

well maybe nighty is my boss and i didnt know? ;) or do i take orders from my boss anyway?
uhm it wasnt a great idea anyway...now if i dont collapse to bed within 2 minutes i'll probably die here so bye (in any case, LOL) :wave:

[jakobin]

i did suggest it and i got shot down once again (bang bang)

Latest headline: Jakobin was shot down in several threads leading to multiple gun shot wounds to the chest. He is now in hospital in rivendell being taken care of by elven nurses (*drooooll* elven nursessss) and should be up and running within the next few days.

until then, smeagol will take over his posting duties (NOO! GOLLUM SHALL DO IT!!) but there is still much debate over this from several parties.

[Nightshade]

Koa, I thought you don't take orders from anyone? (exclude your boss )
Oi! not just anyone here, anyway I hypotised her with smilies
:nod: ;)
_-----------------------------------------------------------

Isagel has returned and seen her birthday thread
and for all those intereseted the leaving your mark thread is sinking into oblivion again ;)

[Nightshade]

O wow Night wants to say Haha I ve reached 2,620 posts in just over six months
"Ive been here six months and havent even realised it it seems like forever and yesterday."
and its official if I stay interested in somthing for as long as this itts fairly certain its not just a passing obsession that wears off :D

http://www.spacespider.net/emo/whacky092.gif

this is my fav!!!

[Nightshade]

Today marks the official start of the nominating for the (forum) Member of the year (http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14380).
A prestigious new award thought up by sub which deserves praise and acknowledgement.
Mr Jakobin is the project leader and is manging the technicallities, (except obviously the sticky buisness.:brow: ), commented
"I hope that this competition will add to the close-knit community that is LitNet, and that the outcome is fruitful."
The stalls were stampeeded with people rushing to nominate their 3 fav members.

The only doubt and negtive voice to be heard was that of Professor Pes of the smilie university http://www.websmileys.com/sm/sad/CRSSad.gif
who says :
" This is not a good idea not a good idea at all "
when presed as to his reasoning he said "
I need no reason I just know"
As such the editor feels the need to remind people that this is a friendly competion.

***related breaking news*** Professor Pes was trampled on by the stampede of people in objection to his natural negtive attitude to life.

So far there have been unoffical nominations for Jay, Taliesin and Nightshade

[subterranean]

Dear Crier,

I'm writing to express my praise for your cover on the Member of The Year event. I truly enjoy your short, yet informative and entertaining article. Keep up the good work.

Sincerely,
Sub - A loyal reader of The Crier

Nightshade would also like to apologise for never fully uploading all the live chat for the Sleepy hollow cercimastances interveened unfortunatly but it should be all up by the end of today.

Dear CC,
we are sorry to inform you that our resident expert is dead.

you will notice the article advised heading for the hills? This is for a fundementaly important reason that the MOnsters of this world hate LIGHT and hills of the milkyway are above the clouds so there is no covering and Eternal light. You should all abandon your lands and posetions and gold and valubles and posts and head for the hills of the milky way where you will be safe.

If one of your staff is misbehaving then how are us readers supposed to know that what we are reading is from the truth. And should there be a problem of theft in your paper, I can recomend a few techniques for eradicating them should you wish to know. Just let me know in the most secrecy and we'll smoke 'em out!

Well I see there are no letters for the editor Im wondering if anyone stole them off my desk or if people have just lost confidence in us?
Anyway the highlights of the week
Mono popped back for a a few posts ( in the member of the year nomination and random thought of theday) He seems to be doing fine and may return soon-ish :D

Rachel also posted in random thought of the day Which makes me if no one else happy to have heard from her , my thoughts are with you

NO one has nominated anyone for the additional awards!

There is actuallly going to be a forum reunion by the looks of it !! :banana:

Yours truly the editor

[starrwriter]

Miss darcy you shock us you have obviously not been exposed to enough Dr who!


I obviously haven't.
I have an interesting true story involving Dr. Who:

In the mid-1970s a young woman named Leslie Sternberg lived with me for several months in Hawaii. She told me she was from California and her father was an "avocado rancher" there.

Fast forward five or six years after we broke up and I lost track of Leslie. I'm sitting in a hotel room, watching the telly, when Dr. Who comes on. Never heard of the program before, but my jaw practically drops to the floor when I see the female lead, Elisabeth Sladen. She looks exactly like Leslie -- and I mean exactly: face/eyes/figure/large feet and certain other body parts with which I was quite familiar.

Later, almost by accident, I discovered that Leslie had lied to me about her background. She was the daughter of a world-famous artist and she grew up in New York City.

Leslie either used Elisabeth Sladen as her British stage name or she has a doppleganger in England. I never found out which was the case.

[B-Mental]

Well its official. My employer is a bone head. He wants me to work 24 hours a day seven days a week (no joke). He also doesn't want to pay me for the 24 hours a day, because its against company policy to have people work 24/day. Can anyone say catch 22. I might just have to tell him where he can stick this job.

[Darlin]

Dear Editor,

Is it possible to get an update regarding the member of the year nominations and the categories? It would be very much appreciated.

Sincerely,

[Nightshade]

Weekend special


yes we are aware its late

THis weekends highlights
-- Leaving your mark, has it finally been killed off?
--- A spy among us! Is she working for the forces of evil mindnumbing aliens or for the white hats?

[Nightshade]

Some of you will weep and some will cheer The unkillable unsinakable thread is STILL going. Its death was a hoax. A cruel one which ever side you were on. Envision the sight a crowd lead by Stanislaw and Fool on the hill were weeping inconsolably at the death of their most happy thread. while behind them a definet but tasteful celebration was going on. Just as everyone had gotten ther stride :bawling: sniff sniff cheer :lol: suddenly an eerie hush decended on both groups.
ANd from over the hill was sighted a man swinging a bag and whistling in a most disgracfully unfitting manner. Whe rather savgly questioned as to who he was and didnt he know the sad occasion, he replied," No, Im sorry whats going on?" When told about the death of the thread he stood a moment and then his lips began to twitch and twitch and hestarted laughing so hard that he ended up rolled up in a ball in the middle of the road.
Seeing the crowds distraction a certain unnamed pirate stole the seeming strangers bag only to start screaming with laughter too. At this point a dective came flying into the thread and took one look at th e stranger, the pirate and the bag and started smiling finally he was able to get the crowd to examine the bag at which time they noticed the baggage lables which stated that the bag was property of "The spirt of The leaving your Mark thread, General chat, General, Literature Network Forums"
Fianlly after many hours of explaining it came to light that MArk HiJack, as the thread likes to be called, had taken a short holiday to the land of Google.
He promises to warn The rest of the comunity before his next trip.

A note on the coverage of the nominations
I would just like to point out that no one has posted in the addional awards (http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14442) thread although some people have been nominated in the MotY thread :D

The editor

[starrwriter]

Well its official. My employer is a bone head. He wants me to work 24 hours a day seven days a week (no joke). He also doesn't want to pay me for the 24 hours a day, because its against company policy to have people work 24/day. Can anyone say catch 22. I might just have to tell him where he can stick this job.
You must do as your employer says. If you don't, it will influence other workers to disobey the employer and then what do we have? Anarchy! The whole economic system will suffer. Your employer will have to send his son to Penn State instead of Harvard, own only one Mercedes rather than two, buy a smaller summer home on that lake in New England. Oh, the humanity!

Seriously, though, can you spell U-N-I-O-N?

Can you give me a tip on how to stay awake and sober for 24 hours a day and seven days a week?

[starrwriter]

Can you give me a tip on how to stay awake and sober for 24 hours a day and seven days a week?
Coffee and benzidrene. But you'll start seeing leprechauns after several days with no sleep.

[B-Mental]

Can you give me a tip on how to stay awake and sober for 24 hours a day and seven days a week?

You just catnap 20-30 minutes 3-4 times a day

[simon]

Well when I don't sleep I see imps, never before has a leprechan crossed my path though. Perhpas one day one shall chance upon me and supply be with a bevy of gold for the ritual sacrifice to the sleepless gods.

[B-Mental]

Careful it doesn't beat you about the knee caps with his sheleleagh.

[smilingtearz]

what's the latest news???

[simon]

If I get beaten for anything it will be for the sacreligious mispelling of my native english language. The latest news is that it's now four days of fog on my island and nothing is moving, we are weighted down by the dew of the sky.

I would like to nominate myself (you can do that right?) for my inspirational and riveting conversations with myself. It it through my own self determination and perseverance that I have been able to enlighten myself to further aid in the completion of a self-confined utopia for myself, within myself and of myself. I would also like to point out that I am the proud recipient of the "ChuckBukowski Presidential Medal of Freedom" and was a nominee for the "ChuckBukowski Volunteer of the Year Award" presented sping of '97. Obviously my credentials speak for themelves; however, a complete resume along with an 8 x 11 autographed photo can be mailed at request.

[Darlin]

I second that, how could we not nominate Chuck with his wit and balls? Can I say that here? I like it when a new member jumps right in like this! Way to go Chuck! Wonderful credentials and um . . . can I get one of those autographed photo's? ;)

[jakobin]

chuck, if you want to nominate yourself, then you will have to do it in the Nominations thread. otherwise, yeah sweet, sounds good. ull have to get alotta votes to get to the top ten.

and just a small note, just in general for many of the threads, could we try to stick on topic. i don't want to sound like the police officer, but it is abit annoying to come into a thread, and find it really messy with off-topic comments.

that should be all. sorry i was away Night, im back now, and i shall try to get back up to speed with everything. maybe you could PM me with all the latest news that i have missed, especially in reference to the Member of The Year nominations. thanx darl...

Every penguin is a flightless angel of peace.

[Nightshade]

Thats what you think, have you ever seen pebble and the penguin or those evil penguins in Madgascar (had to take my sister to see it at the cinema then sit through it not once but 2! on plane ride last summer :cold: ). Or the AWFUL jokes on a penguin choclate bar?

[Darlin]

Muppet madness, evil penguins, flightless angel of peace aside, the forum's gone nuts! :D

[rachel]

Darlin,
the first words of sanity in such a while I cannot comprehend them!!!
I fell into such a state of anxiety and grrrrrr upon seeing this hallowed literary forum overrun with felt and cloth people that I myself have fallen. I seem to not be able to speak except in pyrate for the most part and instead of t hinking what book I shall read I think of how many muppet I could take with a good musket. help!!!!! garh!!!

[Taliesin]

OT:The sentence: "Every penguine is and was a flightless angel of peace" comes from a song by Vennaskond, so you can't blame us of being nuts.
Okay, you can blame us, but not because we said it.

Besides, Vennaskond is such a good band. It has been awarded with le Grand Prix Média by the Radio France Internationale as the best band in Eastern Europe in 1996.

*goes away, humming*

[rachel]

how old are you Tal, nineteen going on fifty? you know so much about..........almost everthing. and you are handsome!!!!!!

[Basil]

Every penguin is a flightless angel of peace.
If this is true, then why did God give wings to penguins yet cruelly deny them the gift of flight?

[Taliesin]

To test them - to see whether they are worthy of being an angel of peace. They are, like, on probation.

[Basil]

So Antarctica is the penguins' purgatory? I always thought of penguins as fallen creatures, having committed some horrible crime against God and nature, and their wings were the albatross around their neck, so to speak.

[rachel]

i never once thought a thing about penguins except they are really cute, wierd in habits and look like little men all dressed up in tuxedos on their way to the Oscars. I had no idea there is this whole purgatory, testing sort of thing. Ihave to get out more.

[Basil]

There's not a day that goes by in which I don't think about the penguins: those beautiful but fallen angels, beating in the void their luminous wings in vain . . .

[emily655321]

Aw, but they aren't wings. They're flippers. They use them to swim, and quite well, too. :)

[rachel]

There's not a day that goes by in which I don't think about the penguins: those beautiful but fallen angels, beating in the void their luminous wings in vain . . .

poor poor Basil,
not even ONE day without thinking such a sad thought......about penquins.

You really need to get out more. Watch some humans trying to use their limbs looking rather wierd.

Penguins???
Okay i love the muppets ... but penguins seem to be loseing ... and i like them too because they remind me of my sister.

[Chava]

Has anyone, now we're on the topic watched the documentary, "March of the Penguins"? i had no idea that the mere existance of penguins was such a miracle, because after watching it you have to be surprised how penguins can possibly continue to exist! i have yet to make up my mind about them... i can't decide what sort of a character they are...
Did you know seals eat penguins?

[emily655321]

I saw that when it first came out. I hadn't realized just how difficult it was for them, but it makes sense, seeing what a harsh climate it is. Poor little penguins. I thought it was a somewhat too-realistic nature film to be geared at children, though. Lots of death and misery. At one point where they show two penguins mating, there's a close-up of their faces, and the female looks shorter because she's on the ground, and a little kid behind me asked his/her mother, "Is that the baby?" :lol: I was glad I didn't have to be the one to answer that question.

This week the crier help a cermony to welcome its newest Brain. Pensive has been appointed Head Deputy Editor General Winged Reporter Assistant Crier (HDEGWRAC).
On this most momentus of occasons the Editor was heard to say" We are hoping she will drag the Crier out of ists present obscurity and into the eyes and heart of every member... We belive that Pensive is just the person required to do this."
This reporter has heard that she comes full of new ideas and an optimism that will hopefyully put the soul back into the crier and cause more regular publishings.
When asked to comment she said
"hdegwrac? what does it stand for, first tell me this"
When this was explained to her she said well we will let her speak fo herself.

[Pensive]

It is an honour for me to be HDEGWRAC for LitNet Town Crier. :D

I think that this position will be really fun. Now, we have made some changes in it. I will like to write them.

~ Those of you, who are interested in writing something for LitNet Town Crier, are absolutely welcome and we (Night and I) will be extremely thankful to all of you. These contributions can be in form of jokes, tongue twisters, interesting articles, etc.

[Nightshade]

The ninja penguins, you say, never heard of them you think, Penguins yes, Ninjas yes Ninja penguins no. Well we are here to tell you different for months now this editor and dedicated Crier herself went undercover in the dreaded Penguin Pitts to discover the truth and what she found was beyond even her worst nightmares.

It seems what we once believed were 2 separate evils are really just to tentacles of a a sprawling multifaceted multi-tentacled evil cult with a dalek like philosophy towards all peaceful Crier loving forum members especially those so fond of their “itty bitty tissue box pirate galleys” , members of the dastardly Stan and the Amazon Queen are right in believing that this denouncing remark was made of them.

SO I ask you the reader to take extra precautions when roaming the network. Make sure you always surf in twos, Never wander off into a deserted sub forum or indeed thread with a suspiciously suppressed Id or worse a shift Guest and don’t forget to wrap up warm in case of the chills and above all do not let your mind be swayed by the mind controllers who are actively recruiting.

We also suggest attaching yourself to a stickyd thread where possible this is belved to help protect you as the stickyness is transferred to you and makes you thus harder to “lose” or get snatched

[AimusSage]

But what of the Vikings? What of them? These puinguins are just misunderstood I tell you! But the Vikings, what of them?

[papayahed]

Dear Crier,

But won't sticking to a sticky thread make it more likely for unwanted foltsom and jetsom stick to me as well?

Koncerned in Kansas

[Stanislaw]

Dear Crier;

Thank ye for yer most informative article on the most 'orrible creature o the seven 'ells!

I will be, er I mean...Captain Stanislaw will be activly workin against these creatures!

Ninja penguins 2#$@#$ what be this world comin to!

Sincerely;

Silence do good...(Not Captain Stanislaw)


(heh, them blasted ninja penguins won't be knowin who be writin evil oer ther name...makin it eisier to infiltrate thar scheme!) :D

[Virgil]

Yay Pensive! I would imagine you are the ONLY 1st HDEGWRAC of the forum. Ever notice how magazines list all sorts of editors with fancy titles? Ever notice that everyone is an editor? If everyone is an editor, then who are the worker-bees?

[Nightshade]

Dear Aimus in refercance to your letter WHAT vikings?? If they are evil they are probably another tenticle :nod:

Koncerned,
Yes it was noticed among the test dummy-guests that this phenomenon occurred to a degree but overall The Crier consider it to be better to keep your hardrive and smilies intact and safe from the Ninja penguins than to mind about the slight pong that might build up. Also we are at present working on methods to eliminate this problem.


Silance,
Indeeed we were hoping to become allied with the right dishounrable Captin to form a front line in the defense against the sure and certain attack :nod:

And on other matters
Virgil, the workerbees are the smilies :nod: :nod: you will also notice that WRAC stands for Winged reported assisntat crier and it is the duty of the crier to gather and spread news with the least possible hysteria and bias.

[RJbibliophil]

You are indeed right in saying that their is a grave battle raging over minds and hardrives. However, I had not imagined that the masterminds of evil in this battle would manipulate penguins for their assault, ultimately making a new breed; ninja penguins. Hopefully the forces of good in this forum will be able to peacefully eliminate this threat without bloodshed.

An Update Stop the presses!

...my harddrive crashed today...and now I have to buy a new one...I think this has some ninja penguin correlation...but that not be proven yet.

Horrible! And even some cats are joining their ranks. I saw this silly movie once called Cats and Dogs where they were all fighting each other and trying to outsmart them.

I don't know that what's DSL. :confused:

*embarrassed*

[Stanislaw]

I don't know that what's DSL. :confused:

*embarrassed*

Its highspeed internet that runs on cable system similar to a phone line but larger...the cat-5 cable. Most major service providers have a highspeed option...you could also go the cable option...using a line similar to cable tv, thats pretty fast to. :thumbs_up

[Pensive]

I was asking my dad for cable connection but the problem with cable is that here, it is really slow. I mean some of them are a kind of "fake" that's what I would call them. They are over-burdened and speed is slow. The other problem is that we have to be more careful on receiving and giving things wit cable.

So, I will try to purchase a new Modem now. I was unable to browse inteernet yesterday because of my poor Modem. I wonder that why is the speed ok this time...

[RJbibliophil]

I think I might be getting broadband here soon, but that would have to come over a dish because the phone lines in the country are weak or something. I hope you have success with your new modem Pensive. :wave:

What Is Life By Pensive

Life believe is not a dream, so dark as sages say - Charlotte Bronte

Life is a great experiement - Khalil Gibran

Life is a multi-faceted concept that may refer to the ongoing process of which living things are a part or the period between fertilisation or mitosis and death - Wikipedia

Every day is my best day; this is my life. I'm not going to have this moment again - Bernie Siegel

Life is strange. If you don't believe me, just live longer - Andre L. Noel

About Life:
The Road goes ever on and on,
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say - Bilbo Baggins in LOTR by JR Tolikien

Life comes with lousy odds. You wouldn't want to bet on it - Tom Stoppard

The purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences -Eleanor Roosevelt

Life is anything that dies when you stomp on it - Dave Barry

Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering and it's all over much too soon - Woody Allen

Life is like a sewer - what you get out of it depends on what you put into it - Tom Lehrer

Life is too important to be taken seriously - Oscar Wilde

Life may have no meaning. Or even worse, it may have a meaning of which I disapprove - Ashleigh Brilliant

We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give - Winston Churchill

My life is my message - Muhatama Gandhi


Stop and consider! life is but a day
A fragile dew-drop on its perilous way
From a tree's summit; a poor Indian's sleep
While his boat hastens to the monstrous steep
Of Montmorenci. Why so sad a moan?
Life is the rose's hope while yet unblown - John Keats

Life is something that which, I don't regret right now, but it can be something in a matter of even an hour that which I will regret severely - Pensive

So dear readers, what do you think life is? To which quotation, do you agree the most? Tell us your thoughts about this article.

Thanks for giving it some time! :D

[Pendragon]

Yeah, you there, Emily, ain't it. You didn't SEE anything. Those pictures ya got, probably bought up an alley from a guy trying to keep up his coke habit. We know where ya live, see. Funny thing about people that mess with us. They got a way of disappearin', capirsi??

Listen up, youse mugs. We're gonna face extreme danger. Shortie, heare, probably won't live through it.

For centuries people have taken us penguins for granted. Ain't gonna happen again. Louie, you got explosives. Rabid, limber up that fin, We gotta do some plain and fancy breakin' and enterin'. Shortie (poor kid)-- your the lookout, and keep those peeps pealed! I'm bringing a friend. He talks an eloguent language-- Colt .45. Easy to understand, or ya get the point quick.

Let's go, and no screw up's this time!

Well, don't let Emily catch you on film again. Emily, those penguins look oddly familiar. I think I might of seen one of that breed around here somewhere. I am having the hardest time getting the broadband connection done. It needs to get sent via wireless link things from another building.... and its not working. Also a computer here has a mouse that will not function. And there's all these viruses on my computer. I wouldn't be surprised if those penguins have also incorporated horses from the city of troy to help them....

LIFE is nasty, brutish, and short. ~ Hobbes
Don't take LIFE to seriously, you'll never got out alive. ~ Bugs Bunney
As for me, I agree with a mixture of them all, but I'd have to be boreing and go with the Wikipedia as the best definition-- though not the most entertaining or poetic one. Now as for as those penguins are concerned just let it be known that I like my life without being blown up.

[Pendragon]

RJ. RJ, Ya wound me, ya really do. Ya assume that Emily actually caught us BEFORE on film. It's assumtions like that that may get ya sent a lot of pretty flowers, RJ. Death lillies, to be exact. Nice white bell shaped flowers on long stems. I ain't no expert on plants, but I'm told they have no smell.

Think about it, RJ. Ya got any idea how many penguins there are in the world? And all dressed up and ready to go to a... funeral at a moment's notice too. Be a shame, young kid like you, Piglet. Wise up, it could already be too late...

You pickin' up what I'm layin' down?

http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~kpt/terraquest/va/science/penguins/0513.32.gif

[RJbibliophil]

Hey, don't be so sure of yourself Mr. Penguin. You're probably just a penguin pretending to be a dragon and a fierce warrior. You're probably just afraid of me. Of course there's no reason to be wising up, for I'm already using my head. Keeping my eyes open and my blade in its' sheath. I may be many things Penguin, but I'm no idiot.

[Pendragon]

Ya hear that boys? Got us a wise guy here! Didn't know they called me Blade back in the day, eh, kid? Knife in the whatdacallit, eh? What's yer poison kid? Fixed blade, lock blade, switch-blade, butterfly, double-blade? Ya do Italian, Mexican, French, Japanese style, or what? You want a knife, brother, I got it. Ain't gonna loose no sleep over using it, neither. Scar over my right kidney from the last Tin Can Napeleon that thought he was Mack the Knife. Sad. Family matter.

I guess we gonna have to step matters up a tad. Funny how no one ever takes a Penguin serious until things get too serious. Now, shut yer pie-hole and listen up, all of you:

That dame that runs this rag of a newsletter, Night? You want we should put the snatch on her? Yeah, I know what I'm saying, capirsi? We put her on ice, hee-hee, made a funny there, dint I? We puts her on ice somewhere ya can't possibly find her and don't think we won't.

Get serious, palsy. Ya ain't dealing with street bum pidgeons here, ya got the Penguin Mafia! Capirsi? Pretending, yaas. Try me. Ya feeling froggy, boy?

[Stanislaw]

hey, pendragon...sprechen de english? :D

ahh, well, now that thar be pirate penguins I be wondering if it be such a dasterdly animal, I mean...they be pirates!

Heh, never did be trustin that linux penguin though...evil as er devil 'e is! :D

[Pendragon]

Ah, Stan. Stan. You beginin' ta catch on here. Who d'ya think OWNS Linux, pal? That Penguin ain't exactly for decoration, if you catch my meaning. Family, Stan. That's what we all about. But they’s legal enterprises and then dere’s "legal" enterprises. We don' like exposure on some of our, well, call them extracurricular activities...

By the way, what's this Night chick worth to youse? She ain't smiling too bright right now, told ya we'd put the snatch on her. Make us an offer--
and we don' take credit cards. Cash, baby. Can I speak the English? Ha! You understand the word morte? Cash for the Night chickadee, how much you pay, eh? Your decision by this time tomorrow or maybe Night sleeps with the fishes...

Capirsi?

*It appears I will have to return to a past life to "negotiate" with these penguins*

Bonjourno, you come in muh place, an ya ask for some money, an now yah ask fer some ransom, and den yah haff the gull *Wink* to set demands...let me infoim you boids o some rules 'ere: firstly if ya gots a complaint, yah gots to talk to don Bongitybongbong, I'm sures 'ell be acommidatin, an, seconds, don't be pushin the god-beaver, 'e don't like no-ones doublin in on 'is racket see?

Oh, by the way Mr. Penguin, did I mention that I prefer tiger lilies?

[Pendragon]

OK Problem guys. I was aked to do the Penguin, and I've enjoyed it. But something happen here at home today, and suddenly the whole thing isn't so funny anymore. I'm sorry, Nightshade, but I'm going to have to resign. I also will not be on the forum until after Friday, when this mess may get sorted out. Kids! Anyway, my nerves are a wreck. I must go. Game over.

[Stanislaw]

Oh, I am sorry to hear that! I hope things sort themselves out.

Best of Luck!:)

[RJbibliophil]

Now I can rest easy. Hope everything turns out fine with you Night.

[Pendragon]

I deeply appreciate the kind words and sediments for all. I did not mean to scare any of you. My son had his pocket knife at school after umteen warnings from mom and dad that it was against school policy and he would get in trouble. It fell out of his pocket Wednesday. Court case, possession of a weapon on school property. Then yesterday, my daughter, already a nervous wreck over a bounced check, her boyfriend's job problems, and whatnot, totally screws up and sells beer to a minor in a police sting. She had to quit her job and has to appear in court. So anything dealing with crime and criminals and I'm flipping out. I will be back on the forum ASAP. Right now, I'm too shook up. If you try to e-mail me, that's fine, but mention your LitNet name or my Spam Filter will toss it. Thanks guys and gals.

Pen ;)

Missing in action

Our Moderators are over the mountain
Our Mods are lost in the sea
Our Mods have gone far way
O please return them to we

And other such grammatical atrocities have been the mutterings among the smilies on the ground this weekend as we go on to the 26 yes 26h hour of the continued absence of all 3 moderators.
What happened! The last of the 3 ( Scher Logos and Jay) to be seen or heard from was Logos and that was 25 and a half hours ago.

So the crier asks you.. Do you think they have disappeared or are lurking silently on the sidelines with the Guest and the forum secrets waiting to pounce in force?
Have they formed their own fleet and are silently and swiftly erasing all traces of ill humor?
Furthermore and equal importantly The Amazon is left captinless and defenseless against the growing troops of Cap’n Stan’s dasterdlies and The Cosmic bar in the live chat is unmanned and the backlog of smilies waiting for their geek refills are growing to such degrees that the ministry of Smiles is putting up a strike warning. :nod:

OK, I admit to having succumbed to the alure of real life and got a little distracted recently. As Night pointed out already the two weeks holiday here made my life a littel busier than usual. However, that does not mean I don't visit the Forum (which I do at least once a day) but simply prefer to read than post myself if I am short of time.

looking for recipes on how to cook tofu!!

Reporting for duty! Possibly going to be a bit scarce this week, school interferring, evil thing! :D

No, not a mutiny. But the Dastardly has been doing very well in recruiting. Perhaps we need to offer some incentives. Otherwise pretty soon we're going to be outmanned.

[Jay]

It's quality, not quantity that matters ;)

[papayahed]

Tofu isnt that the stuff that tastes like burnt cardboard?
ahh maybe not... Soooo the return of the mods we are pleased :nod:

I wouldn't know. :mad: My big Tofu adventure turned into a complete flop. I had a recipe to grill the Tofu but it just stuck to the grill pan and never really cooked. Slightly dissappointing, next time I may try baking it..if there is a next time.

[Nightshade]

Well you can take that 2 ways either it was sooo delish that the pan tried to eat it or... the pan was trying to save you from a big mistake. :p

[Nightshade]

1933 GMT Rachel has just been spotted by the crier ... thought you might likr to know :nod:

I'm betting it's the second.....

[Stanislaw]

I'm betting it's the second.....
ye should try boiling it in soup broth! :thumbs_up

[papayahed]

really? will that work?

[RobinHood3000]

Personally, I'd rather stuff it with dynamite.

[Stanislaw]

yup, you don't want the tofu to thick, I would also suggest throwing in some vegis, and maybe some shrimp (well, personally I likes the shrimp) but, some vegies: like spinach, needle mushrooms, a bit o bok choy, and it is best served if you have some spicy cury type sauce that you can put on the tofu...not too much though!

Its quite good! :thumbs_up

[Stanislaw]

Personally, I'd rather stuff it with dynamite.
:lol: mind ye even tofu can be tasty if prepared skillfully!

[Pendragon]

Got a good Chef have ye, Stan? Me auld dad were a world class chef, but I cannae boil water. I could ruin the taste o' beer by pouring it into a stein. http://www.cosgan.de/images/more/bigs/c035.gif

well, I know a little me self, and fer the most part be me dad, I swear you could give him cats poop, an old shoe, and some broken lightbublbs an he would make a 5 course meal...that was nutrisious and tasty!

[RJbibliophil]

sounds delicious. Mr. Penguin, How to boil water:
1. fill a pot about 2/3 full with water
2. place pot on stovetop
3. turn heat on, preferably to high
4. for faster results use lid, although optional
5. wait until water is bubbling, preferably rapidly with large bubbles
6. turn heat down to medium
7. you have boiled water

boiled water is good for preparing cooked vegetables, tea, or just for use as hot water.
