in August 12th, 2005 @ 18:51TOPFOT,
Here’s how to make your text hot pink: at the beginning of your message, type
[font color=”#FF00FF”]
only with angle brackets <> instead of the square brackets []. At the end of your message type
[/font]
again with angle brackets instead of square ones.
That should “pinken” your text.
Elasse-Adael can return to her accustomed green by typing “#4CC552” instead of “#FF00FF”. (There are many other shades of green, but that one seems both pretty and readable.)

in August 12th, 2005 @ 19:56I definitely am going for the “you know you’re addicted to Muse when…” thread. Maybe there should be a “you know you’re addicted to MuseBlog when…” thread, too. This is my fourth post today!

Sorry about that. It works when I do it. (I guess there are advantages to being an Administrator, after all.) Maybe we’ll find a workaround. I’ll keep looking.

in August 14th, 2005 @ 19:40The word whilst reminds me of the word Nihilist.

in August 15th, 2005 @ 20:59Why does everyone want articles on Japan and anime all of the sudden? I think an article on Celtic myths and legends would be cool. Or an article on Fantasy. Or on VIOLINS!!! Or anything by Paul Baker^_^ Or on the development of languages. or on etc…

in August 15th, 2005 @ 21:03so if we all put together our request so far we have: Japan, anime, Celtic myths, fantasy, violins, anything by Paul Baker, development of languages.
I also think that an article on latin american culture would be cool.

in August 15th, 2005 @ 21:20The band Showbread has an album called “No Sir, Nihilism Is Not Practical,” in case you care. Pretty alright band. They have a keytar, which is cool, though they’re a little too screamy for my tastes. Some of their song titles funny, though: “Stabbing Art to Death,” “A Llama Eats a Giraffe (And Vice Versa),” and perhaps the best of all “If You Like Me Check Yes, If You Don’t I’ll Die.”

in September 5th, 2005 @ 00:56I just watched something on the HIstory channel and I now DEMAND an article on the search for Noah’s Arc. Because it was interesting, that’s why.

Phoenix
in September 5th, 2005 @ 14:08It’s stupid and has the wrong info. They were searching on Mt. Arrarat, but back then Arrarat was a mountain RANGE. It says HARAY Arrarat, not HAR Arrarat. Trust me on this one, even if the ark was somehow frozen to the degree that it was preserved, it would take generations to find it on one of those thousands of mountains. Honestly, I’ve been studying this since before I could walk. The story is as familiar to me as my name-more so even! The search is nonsense.

in September 5th, 2005 @ 18:17Although it’s likely there was a big flood in the mediteranean area around that time- many different cultures have flood stories..
See, that’s the thing with mythology- it’s not necessarily true, but it’s usually (USUALLY) based on something real..

in September 5th, 2005 @ 20:06It was certainly real! didn’t you read the Muse about it, in, oh, ’98? I’m not saying the ark isn’t there, just that, unless these people are REALLY lucky, they wont find anything.

And thanks for the thread. I was wondering why we had this blog if we couldn’t talk about the magazine…(I’m just kidding. The blog was a great idea without the thread! But not it’s better…I suppose that’s what I was trying to say all along.)

in October 16th, 2005 @ 16:21My Q&A buddy Rosanne and I moderate the blog together, from opposite coasts. (I’m on the east coast, she’s on the west.) Our jobs keep us online a lot, and I have a little Treo that lets me approve comments while riding on subways and buses and such. How quickly comments get posted varies depending on what else we’re doing at any particular time.
That reminds me–I’d better warn everybody of an impending slowdown. (“Impending” means “coming up very soon.”)

You know something? This whole website is dedicated to the Muses, but hardly anyone mentioned them!! WHAT’S UP WITH THAT?!?!?!?!?!?!? There should be a whole thread where we talk about the Muses themselves!!!
This dude wrote about wanting a thread on the Muses. Considerably, I do too. The muses are way awesome and their art
(hardware+software) founded this blog. So I really would consider adding a thread for them…even if me and the “mutant_hairy_thing” are the only ones writing on it….

Robert Coontz (Administrator)
in November 16th, 2005 @ 01:00There is one. It’s called Coy Woodnesse and was very active for a while there.
I don’t know much Latin, but I do know that “peace be with you” is “pax tecum.” So I suspect that “tecum” rather than “cum tu” means “with you.” (“Tu” is nominative, no? I’ll bet most prepositions take other cases.)
I’m skating on thin ice here, though, and had better stop. Maybe PB&J knows more about it.

Muse isn’t exactly a science magazine, but we aim to please. Here’s Sunstorm’s science thread.
KK (#59),
All “previous posts” means is that there isn’t room for them on the first page of the blog. They’re still active (unless the GAPAs close them off to comments, something we do only when posts are clearly outdated). MuseBloggers can keep them alive by… keeping them alive. Do so, with our blessings!

in December 24th, 2005 @ 19:16Hello again,
I posted a bulliten once before, but I don’t think it got put up. If it did, i just can’t find it. Perhaps it’s my fault though. I should have posted two bulletins. (one in requests/ideas, another in complaints) If this is boring you, please forgive me, I’m just bieng honest. Anyway, let’s get down to business. When I posted (possibly) my bulletin, I taught blogers how to talk Kokopelli-ish, and I suggested some ideas for a live action version of “Attack of the Smart Pies.” Well, I’ve come up with some more. First of all, I recently discovered, that Larry Gonick has his own offical website. If there is to be even a shred of hope that the folks at Muse central might even consider making a film of “Smart Pies,” then I would strongly recommend sending in requests directly to Larry Gonick himself. Who knows what could happen. Hundreds of readers begged for a cat article, and it took the Muse makers forever to give in, but eventually they did. If we give Larry and the Muse makers no peace, they may just grant our wishes. Speaking out, and up, is the only way to get things done. The crusade starts now.
AND NOW FOR SOME VERY IMPORTANT IDEA REGARDING KOKOPELLI:
I’ve already mentioned (or at least tried to) that I think Jim Carry should voice Kokopelli, but I forgot to share my thoughts as to the portrayal of the trickster.
1. Kokopelli should be portrayed as a shadow (made with computer effects) on the wall.2. This would enable the filmakers to add to that whole “How did he do that?” thing. If Koko is a shadow, then he can vanish inside other shadows.
3. This would create a somewhat ominous effect. Which would be necessary considoring the way Kokopelli is portrayed in the novel. In the original comic strip, Koko is basically harmless, (obnoxious yes) but in the book, he is portrayed (perhaps unintentionally) as a bit of a villian. He is not, as one might expect, the main character of the story, and his plotting actually has a rather nasty side to it.
4. None of this is to say I’m anti-Kokopelli, (I worship the heck out of that “devious little weasle”) I’m just sharing my feelings as to how that could create a sort of dark comedy feel for him in the movie. That;s what he’s like in the book, why not the movie. Cause it would be a shot to heck shame, if they ruined him by making his humor dumb. Kokopelli is actually very smart, if you take the time to know him.
5. I also think “Darien Drinkwater” should be played by Tim Curry. I’ve only seen him in two things, (Ferngully-The Last Rainforest, and Monk TV) and he seems to have a really good talent for portraying slobs. “Drinkwater” as readers of the book are doubtless aware, is a total slob. Tim would be perfect.
6. And last, but most surely not least, a thought regarding the DVD/VHS cover art. I think the DVD/VHS cover art, should be layed out as follows:
Kokopelli’s shadow, should be placed in the point blank direct center of the picture, portrayed in his typical flute playing posture. On the lefthand side of his hunched back, should be “Emma Drinkwater.” Not her whole body, just her head, slightly concealed in shadows. On the righthand side, should be “Darien Drinkwater.” His face should also be slightly concealed in shadow. This will let audiances know, that there will be some scary moments in this movie. The tilte should be placed at Kokopelli’s feet. Jim Carry, Tim Curry, and whover plays “Emma,” should be placed above Kokopelli’s head.
Well, now I have to go post one small thing in the complaints section. Goodbye for now.
PS: Film rating= PG-For mild violence, and scary situations, including child in jeopardy sequences

in March 27th, 2006 @ 18:29Apparently this thread is unpopular or something. I’ve been waiting forever to see another post beneath my last post (# 70).
Well I gueess I’ll just have to do it myself.
I have a request for the GAPAs.
I noticed that their aren’t any threads posted under ‘Uncatogorized.’
What is the point of that ‘Uncatogorized’ thingy on the post by category sidebar. Is it a joke of some sort.
I click on it, and the computer says I’m looking for something that isn’t here.
What’s going on?
For gosh sakes, please respond someone.
Thank you.
Bye.

in June 10th, 2006 @ 19:17REQUEST FOR GAPAs
It would be useful if you could start a ‘Muse Movie? Part 2’ thread.
Here’s what Cedar says:
This thread will be used soley for the purpose of script ideas.
If you have a script sample you’d like to post, post it here.
If you have a non script idea, post it in the original ‘Muse Movie?’
thread.Let’s have fun.
_____________Thanks GAPAs.
Hope to see it on the homepage soon.
PS: Can’t wait to see all the great ideas.
