We thought they’d never show up, but Larry Gonick has used his Kokonino County connections to coax them onto the blog. The Web may never be the same. Brace yourselves…
MEET THE MUSES
The Muses will be dropping in on the blog from time to time, so this thread is no longer needed and will be closed to further comments. It’s well worth reading, though.
FIRSTPOSTFIRSTPOSTMEHOPESSO!!!
wheee! the Muses cometh!!!
So…erm…where are they?
OH MY GOD! PWT, YOU’RE MY FAV MUSE! I’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO MEET YOU!
It may be siesta time in Kokonino County. I’ll check…
i think they died.
no, sorry, i didn’t really mean that.
oh, and i like feather 2.
not kokopelli
and now for my catchphrase:
KOKOPELLI, I HATE YOU!!!
Pwt pwns, but Koko outplays and outpies him/her/it by miles…
Bo, what exactly are factiods? Are they facts with a fancy oid at the end, or are they something else?
Hey, we answered that one. See the Muse Glossary.
NO! DEATH TO KOKOPELLI!
pwt is a gethenian. am i right pwt?
Did you know that vodka will not kill bees, and filling footballs with helium does not give them more hang time?
tank ou 4 corectin mi typo
Hmph, guess they’ll show up when they feel like it. I’ll give them another five minutes, and then I’m going to dinner. (Knowing how these things work, that’s when they’ll make their appearance.)
Have you ever met the Garbage Disposal Bunny?
of course. just like they fire all of the bad teachers and add an elvish course after you graduate.
Holy Zarquon singing fish! The Muses are ACTUALLY ON THE BLOG!!!!
*hyperventilates*
*stops hyperventilating*
*breathes deeply*
*squeaks with excitement*
This is truly exciting. I love you guys! Please show up soon! We totally love you, and try not to wreck the Internet too much, but you’re amazing and wondrous and divine and super and magical and froody and hoopy and exciting and wonderful and hoopy and the best thing since Devo…
*hyperventilates again*
Urania’s my hero. I want to meet her. Please come.
ah no, sorry. but i find a hpb lurking in my house. i intend to write to muse and complain. i also took a picture of it. maybe someday i’ll show it too you.
Lurking on the blog, maybe. Yoo-hoo, Muses!
Hm. Maybe if we sacrificed another pink bunny…
WG: here i am again. i am in charge of the whole muse religion, as you know. i shall now sacrifice another hpb.
A1: sorry, we’re all out of hpbs.
WG: oh dear. we’ll just have to sacrifice some ppbs. (pale pink bunnies)
ppb: aaaahhh *is
murderedsacrificed*SPBW(society for the promotion of bunnie welfare): nooo! you cannot kill bunnies
A2: too bad
THATS NOT FAIR! I WANT TO POST BUNNIES TOO!
O.K., Musers, I’m going to dinner. This is starting to feel like waiting for the Great Pumpkin (whom Feather rather resembles, come to think of it).
BUNNY POSTIN TIME!!! WOOHOO!!!
Awww…it didn’t work…
hey, pwt, are you a boy or a girl anyway? noone knows, but id expect that you do!!!???
oh ha ha ha. very funny.
Pwt is a GETHENIAN.
WG: you are very smart mr administator. we shall sacrifice donuts instead.
Donuts are too wonderfully sweet and filled with beautiful empty calories to sacrifice.
Depends on how you sacrifice them.
Good point.
I shall take upon me the
wonderfulhorrific and terrible *coughcough* task of EATING THE DOUGHNUTS!!! *clang*WG: we shall eat them of course. duh.
*all start ‘sacrificing’ donuts*
I have an idea! Let’s sacrifice brocolli!
(30)
You sounded so evil right then.
this thread came into being approx 1 hr ago. what made you think they would actually show up?
Oh, I’m sure they’ll show up eventually. Larry was quite clear about that. He just didn’t say when. Immortal beings may have their own ideas about what constitutes “soon.”
How come I have to be your favorite muse, Em? Couldn’t somebody else be your favorite, and I be second? It makes me nervous to, er, ah, eh, be ahead of everybody else. Then I can’t see what they’re up to!
maybe he had a heart attack right after contacting you and forgot to calll them up.
maybe he meant they would show up tomorrow.
I shall prepare a Muse sacrifice/lure now, one for each Muse:
Urania: Starchart. This blog looks like a big starchart…
Craaw: book of Edna Saint Vincent Millay
Bo: the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain
Feather: already have bait for him
Koko: as soon as Urania arrives, she will serve as bait.
Pwt: ditto, but with Craaw
Aeiou: Uh… hands, so she can type?
Chad: paper clips
Mimi: shouldn’t the chance of meeting new people be bait enough?
and some hot pink bunnies for good measure (pretty please, GAPA?) :
*sits back and waits for Muses*
tell LG that ill tell koko to give him a good pie in the face if he doesn’t at least explain why muses aren’t blogging.
why does GAPA get to write in itallic???
MuseBloggers, check out message #38. Pwt is here! Welcome, Pwt.
NO! YOUR MY FAVOURITE MUSE! DEAL WITH IT!
um sorry about that. look, if it really bothers you i’ll make feather my favourite muse. BUT you must do my grammer homework for me.
Pwt, how do you pronounce your name?
bi bi signing off now- bye Pwt!!!:)
okay Pwt, you hipocrite(which i cannot spell), if you want to be second, why did you arrive first?
W00T! WELCOME PWT!
yes, i have multiple internet personalities. why do you ask?
ah, you can write in italics. look below the comment form, where it says ‘some html alowed’ italics is the one with the i in the angle brackets. put it before what you want in italics. to end it, do the same thing except do /i instead of i
Heya, Pwt. Uh… so why do you dislike Craaw so much?
We write in italics because we are completely skewey.
Do we get any more Muse Messages?
no. you must wait until Larry has put enough thought into them, and they must be politically correct, and he cant insult anybody. dealing with your fans is a very delicate art.
which is why you have all these celebrities refusing to give interviews.
koko is my favorite.
how do u do the pictures??
with magical gapa powers oooooooh!
im half way done with my grammer pwt. hurry up.
Hey Pwt! Are the rest of you coming soon?? Please??
*runs in* *yells* Master, master, mutt /so/ wasn’t hiding in kokokino country while scorch was exploding stuff! *runs*
what!? really?! THEY’RE HERE!!!??? yesssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but where are they? i thought u’d be able to see em….??
I’ve just heard from Larry. They got fed up with WordPress error messages and decided to try again some other time. I can’t blame them. I wish our Web provider would hurry up and fix its servers.
yes i got that. it was very annoying. to get rid of it you just have to keep reloading the page about 50 times. i was so miffed that i went on the nationstates board and screamed “BLOODY WORDPRESS!”
can you contact those wordpress peoples? did you pay for this software?
It’s not WordPress’s fault–it’s a computer problem. Something’s glitchy at our Web host company. I guess it’s time for me to file another complaint.
Sorry about the Muses, group. They’ll be back.
*sniffsobwhimperwhinecrycrysosadboohooohwoeisussniffsniff*
…
Ah well, i have no reason to stick around anyway. Done with my grammer Homework.
OMG i just finished my incredibly tedious ap lang hofmework + logged on + saw this thread +….
KOKO!!! ARE YOU OUT THERE??? I WEAR THE SHIRT MADE IN YOUR HONOR W/ MY BLACK PARACHUTE PANTS + CONVERSES AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK!!! I MAKE TRANSPARANT PIES + ASSAIL RANDOM PEOPLE W/ THEM JUST FOR YOU! I SPIKE MY HAIR + CARRY AROUND A HORN! ok, the last part wasnt true, but koko – YOURE MY HERO!! DONT PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT EVERYONE ELSE SAYS! (not like i even need to say that, but) BE YOUR FANTABULOUS SELF!
ok im going to bed now. that was exciting
Oh, I’m out here, oh yeah…. out here, a big, fat pie in my little, twitching hand. It’s twitching because somebody, you know who you are, somebody likes Pwt more than me.
I require an explanation. Why do you like Pwt so much? Why? WHY?
By the way, Muse fans, I’ve noted a rather disturbing tendency among some of you to threaten people if they don’t do what you want. I beg you, please, refrain from such rude behavior. If you don’t stop threatening people immediately, I’ll be forced to… to… oh, dear… what will I do…. ? Not invite you to my birthday party? Maybe that’s what I’ll do.
They’ve all gone to bed, Koko. It’s a school night. You can take it up with them tomorrow, but I’m sure it’s all a big mistake.
*shrieks* MASTER! *huggles* *runs away forcing eldest to gallop along next to her*
Good grief, how many of you are there here? The MuseBloggers will be crushed.
We’re all here, Mr. Administrator. Some of us are lurking, that’s all.
Don’t any of these Musebloggers live where Pacific Standard Time prevails? It’s all about longitude, you see… height of the sun with respect to the horizon, which is determined by–SPLAT!
Yikes! You’re MontgomeryGurl’s hero, or heroine. I’m sure there’s something she’d want me to ask you, but I’m speechless. Nearly. Good as.
Maybe I’d better take cover.
*drags eldest back in* ugh. do we have a stable i can put him in? it’s getting rather annoying dragging him around and all.
Ahoy, Mutt! Don’t you see what’s happening? They’re ALL HERE. RIGHT NOW. And you’re the only Muser around. Don’t just stand there. Say something to them!
Aeiou says Urania’s post got cut off in mid-sentence, probably because she tried to put html tags in the Name line. It went on to say that some Muses are lurkers, so far. She also wondered if some of the bloggers don’t live in Pacific Standard Time. They might not be in bed yet!
She also started to explain how time zones work, but the untimely arrival of some high-velocity baked goods interrupted her monolog. in other words:
She gave a try,
He threw a pie,
I do not lie.
Time to fly!
We could all get cut off in mid-sentence if my host company doesn’t fix its server problems. Something about the MYSQL files being corrupted. They keep apologizing and apologizing, but things don’t seem to improve. That’s why you had trouble getting on the blog earlier. We’ve all been there, believe me.
The connection problems are entirely due to banana cream oozing into the transmission wires. Complaining to the web host is useless. The only solution is to stay one step ahead of Kokopelli and find a web hosting company that has firewalls and piewalls.
I’m looking, but I haven’t found one that will support NOTscape. They all swear they’ve never heard of it. I think they’re fibbing.
*wonders* can anyone else here dance like michael flately? 0_0
Oh, and to answer your question: yes, there are MuseBloggers on the west coast. They’re probably playing over on the “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” site right now.
Mutt! Pay attention! You’re in the presence of nine Muses, and all you can talk about is “Lord of the Dance”??!
I’m here!!!!!!! I’m here!!!!!!!!!!! Please tell me the Muses and MAPs haven’t left yet.
uh. yeah. and ireland. and all that other great amazing stuff. xD yes, yes. mutt’s hopelessly obsessed. *wonders what this might do* yo! noclaf! you know very well who you are! you’ve seen me do it! post, smart one! *waits*
I’m here, MG. I’m not sure about the Muses, though. Things went very quiet about five minutes ago.
It’s been a strange evening.
I have to agree.
Are you still here, MontgomeryGurl? It’s awfully late in Louisiana.
you mean alabama? 0_0
Whew. Guess they’ve gone back to lurking. The blog feels different, though. Anything can happen around here, that’s for sure.
Oh, hi, Koko#2. No, Louisiana. MontgomeryGurl named herself after Lucy Maud Montgomery, author of the “Anne of Green Gables” books.
All right, I’m signing off now. Maybe Rosanne will log on. Too bad she missed all the fun. ‘Night, all.
I live in Hawaiian Time! Which is even more of a difference than Pacific Stadard!
I can’t decide who my favorite muse is…
WHA… i go to bed + half an hour later they all show up? U ALL ARE SO MEAN!!!!!!!
……….and i am so bored. its first hour right now + theres no choir again so im free until 9:02.
….and you know, everyone else is probably in skool right now so whats the use even posting this? im feeling kind of lonely….
…and i really hope the skool computers dont have a firewall thingy that blocks outgoing stuff….. i guess if youre reading this it means that they dont…
AAH!!! I MISSED THE GREAT KOKOPELLI!!! NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! *sobs*
I hope they come back today!!! KOKO YOU ROCK! AND PWT PWNS AND PIE URANIA AND CRRAW IS COOL TOO AND I ♥ BO…Hey! Where’s Bo???
