New Bunnies at “Musery Loves Company”
At Taiwan Hippo Fan’s suggestion, we’ve added a line of “Pure Evil” Bunnies to meet your leporine needs. Talk about truth in packaging!
As always, just let us know if you don’t see a CafePress product that you want, and we will cheerfully, nay, gleefully add it.
The Polling Place, v. 2008.2
In which Musers research the habits, tendencies, proclivities, inclinations, preferences, and predilections of other Musers.
Continued from version 2008.1.

Useful Muse Academy Links and Information
It seems like a good time to collect these in one place for the benefit of newcomers and the terminally confused (i.e., everybody).

*The Coontz House song is officially unofficial until something better comes along. It’s pretty good, though, so that may take a while.

May Day Ball — Organizing Committee
The ball, like Muse Academy, exists in the Musiverse, not the universe. But that’s never stopped us before. Planning has already begun on the Hare-athon random thread. Let’s shift it here.
Date: April 11, 2008
Categories: Muse Academy, Nonrandom Craziness, RRRs, RPWs, and RPGs
Hare-athon: The Penultimate Lap (or Leap) (or Lapin)
Just two more to go. Looks as if we’re going to make it, as the curtain rises…

Logging the Blog
We’ve added a few Categories used for classifying threads and have reorganized the list a little. It will take a while for us to update the classification of old threads.
You can help! If you spot a thread that needs to be reclassified (RRRs, etc., are particularly ripe for it), just post its name and URL here. Thanks!
Bunny Apocalypse, Part 1
Requested by groundhog22, for whom a Bunny Melee apparently wasn’t enough.
We *shudder* to think what lies in store for this thread.
Bulletin from Muse Academy
Anyone interested in pie kwan do classes may sign up now in the Patissical Education Department.
Grant’s Film Strip Project
The Ultimate Supreme Executive Chairman sent us a couple of sound files for his film project. We haven’t had time to convert them to MP3 format, so we can’t be sure you’ll be able to play them until you report in. Here they are:
NEW! Treble_Cone_Freeskier (who now seems to be spelling her name “Trebel_Cone_Freeskier”) has taken Midnight Fiddler’s storyboards and turned them into a real, honest-to-goodness film strip.
Watch the Moon!
NASA says this week’s waxing crescent moon is worth seeing:

Chronicles of Museica, Part the Seventh
Continued from Part the Sixth, to which the indubitably confused reader is hereby referred.

Alter Ego Thread, v. 2008.2
A perennial MB favorite: Post under a false name, and try to guess the identities of other doing the same.
Continued from v. 2008.1.
NOTE: Check your posts before sending them. The Administrators will not rescue you if you accidentally submit one under your “real” blogname.
Fun, Wasn’t It?

But alas, your exhausted GAPAs (no longer DAPAs) can’t stay up all night extending their April Fools’ Day prank into April 2. A new, real monthly random thread will be arriving shortly.
Meanwhile, in remembrance of Mickey Muse Blog that was, we’d like to leave you with one final verse of the song that’s been driving you mad all day. This time, mercifully, you have to click it to play it:
Kokopelli_Farewell.mp3Meet the DAPAs!

No, not GAPAs — DAPAs: Disney™ Aggressively Perky Administrators! Actually, you’ve met them already. They’ve been your friends for a long, long time. Now they’re our newest loyal Disney™ cast members. They’ll be here helping you cheerfully all the time, day and night, forever. Yes, they will!
Hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to blog we go…

Welcome, Neophytes (April 2008)
New here? We like newcomers! Confused? Join the club! But you can report to this thread (and please do) for a hearty MuseBlog welcome and answers to your questions.
Please read The Rules. You might also glance at The HG2MB (Hitchhiker’s Guide to MuseBlog), which contains helpful hints regarding local customs, lingo, and other peculiarities of the blog; smiley information included.
April Random Disneyâ„¢ Thread


OK, here’s the good news: Muse and MuseBlog have been taken over by Disney™! Isn’t that great? Now we can all have loads of fun! At Disney™, we know all about fun! And don’t worry about your plans for world domination — we know all about that, too!
Of course, you’ll notice some changes now that Mickey Muse Blog™ is part of the Magic Kingdom™. For example, you’re not Musers anymore — you’re MouseKokoteers™! Swell, huh? And your moderators aren’t GAPAs anymore — they’re DAPAs (Disney™ Aggressively Perky Administrators). And now that they’re Disney™ employees, they’ll be chipper and cheerful all the time. They have to be!
Well, I guess that’s enough for now. Settle on in and enjoy Mickey Muse Blog™! We’re sure you’ll like it here. After all, it’s Disney™!
(Users’ Manual: Obey The Rules. Consult The Guide. Have fun!)
New Disney™ rules coming soon!
Click here for a big surprise!
