Muse’s long string of five-star reviews on Amazon.com has snapped at last. A reviewer who identified herself himself or herself as a “Midwest educator” said the magazine was “Not a-musing!” and gave it one star–the lowest possible rating.

Well, you can’t please everybody. Thanks to all Musers who have told Amazon the real story, whatever their teachers (excuse us, educators) might think.

(When you see green text in a GAPA’s post, it’s a link, by the way.)

This month’s random thread. Please read The Rules if you haven’t yet.

A place to record your most memorable acts of wanton lunacy.

[Closed to comments 12 July 2006, because we’ve just opened version 2006.2.]

Here’s a place to try out tricks with type, new bunny designs, etc., before unleashing your experiments on other threads.

This month’s random thread. Please read The Rules if you haven’t yet.

Here’s what Cedar says:

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

The blog ought to start a section called:

MUSE FANS FOR A KOKOPELLI AND COMPANY MOVIE

This section would be used to allow Muse fans to give out ideas regarding the creation of a film version of “Attack of the Smart Pies.”

Examples:

Who do you think should play a certain Muse?

Descriptions of various houses?

Who should play Emma and Darien Drinkwater?

How bout Ms. Krishnamurti (Yes I know it says Ms. My family dosen’t believe in saying Mrs.)?

And finally:

Tell other people what props you plan to buy and send to the Muse crew, so they have less work to do, in making the ultimate dream come true.

PS: THIS MOVIE IS THE KIND THAT MUSE FANS WILL WANT TO SEE IN THEATERS!

Okey-doke, Cedar, here’s your special section. And a-WAYYY we go!

It seems odd to do this with only two days left in the month, but people are having trouble loading Part 2.

What would you eat if you lived there? Just curious. (Mars bars are off the menu; the GAPAs have dibs on both worlds’ supply.)

The original February Phantasmagoria was getting too long. Hope we don’t have to make a Part 3. [We did. –Admin.]

Sheep’s idea. Thanks, Sheep!

Because you asked nicely.

This month’s random thread.

It’s the Chinese New Year. Any doggies on the blog? KitKat probably qualifies, along with most other people born in 1994.

Be they pretty, witty, long or pithy, post your quotations here, prithee.
An answer to Sphinx’s question — and I quote: “Will you ever make a quotes thread?” Sphinx, Jan. 20, 2006. The long-awaited thread is open.

January 16 is MLK Jr. Day 2006. Are you doing anything special? Let MLK Jr. be your muse.

A place to discuss manga, cartoons and other perfect marriages of art and words — in “joyous harmonie,” per randomrohanfreak’s request.

Ripe for revival.

For Kokopelli a.k.a. Mutt, even if she did say “pwease.” We’ll see where this one goes. (Your obedient administrator feels compelled to point out that he doesn’t believe in magic.)

*Role-playing game. To keep it interesting, the administrators are laying down a few rules and restrictions. Characters may include

• the Muses (from Muse magazine or ancient Greek mythology);
• people or animals featured in the magazine (for example, tenrecs);
• Muse editors and other staff members;
• famous real people, living or dead; and
• fictional characters first created before the year 1900.

Within the above restrictions, the choice of locations and adventures is up to you. This may require a little research, but we’re sure you can handle it. Fair enough?

When the monthly random thread isn’t random enough for you, take a random walk over here.

New year, new Ko-konspiratorial komments.

If you haven’t seen them yet, please read The Rules.

Resistance was useless.
