        1. So sorry I never replied, darling. I started out as shadowkat0326. After a couple months, people started dropping the “0326”, and then came the capitalization, and I’ve even been called “S-Kitty” on a few occasions. But yes, I meant Shadowkat with a “k”. My first cat’s name was Shadow, and my name is Katie. =)

  2. I still think we shouldn’t eliminate DFTT until it’s proven that nobody uses them. I use bookmarks instead, myself, as I find it more convenient, but are there people that use this?

    1. I think the point is that this can basically be the same thing without all the work for the GAPAs. Also people don’t seem to adhere to the rules of DFTT.

        2. It’s okay, everyone has early posts on a forum that they’re ashamed of. In my experience, most people are overly extroverted when they join a forum, because they aren’t sure how to introduce themselves and don’t really feel like part of the community yet.

    1. Yes. I heartily agree.
      COME BACK! You are excused if you are dying of hypothermia, have had all the fingers on one or both hands chopped off, or similar. Special exceptions possibly made on request, or maybe refused.

  11. Eat Your Weetabix!

    I don’t remember where this started, but I remember talking about it not long after I came. 2006 somewhere I think…

      1. OH!!!!! Weetabix! That is something we MUST put on the blog! Sorry, I know I’m not making any sense, so let me tell you a short story:

        Once, my family was sitting around the dinner table, bored out of our skulls. (My dad maintains that we were actually in LAX waiting for our flight to Fiji to arrive, but I know he’s wrong :).) Anyway, wherever we were, we were extremely bored, and somehow Weetabix came up in conversation. My dad sat up and said, “I’m thinking of a movie where somebody hides under a box.” It turned out being The Wrong Trousers (Wallace and Gromit) and that he said that because the box that Gromit hides under says Weetabix on it. And so it began. Now, whenever we’re bored, we start up a Weetabix puzzle. Somebody says, “I’m thinking of a movie where…” and we have to ask yes-or-no questions about the movie to determine what it is. (But no “cheater” questions that are about the movie itself, not the scene in the movie, like “is it animated.”)

        After that not-so-short story, I think that we should bring these puzzles to the blog. Maybe we can create an initial thread with one that the GAPAs make up, and we can all take turns guessing it. What do you think, GAPAs?

      2. oh god i had forgotten about weetabix :P my friend riet (who was verrryy briefly on here) and i used to have this one box that we would send back and forth as a gag gift. oh memories.

        you know, actually the most squeeful thing i noticed upon returning to the blog was the fact that Mr. Joe is still being blamed for everybody’s problems. yes, my blog legacy is based on violence and abuse! :P

    A VISITOR TO KOKONINO COUNTRY!
    a story of the muses by Catwoman

    SCENE: Mimi is looking at a shop window whistfully
    staring at a dress that looks like hers… only
    sparkally and more colorfull while Feather
    looks at a garden supplies store

    Mimi: “Hmm” [turns to feather] “do you have money, Feather?”
    Feather: “What? uh… let me see” [searches in pocket] “nope”
    A Voice (girl): “Here is some money dear”
    Mimi: “Huh? what?!?” [she appears to have a $10:00 bill in her hand. enough to buy the dress(and a
    nice purse to match)]
    Feather: “Hey! Mimi, you got money. why did you want to borrow mine?”
    Mimi: “Well i didn’t a… second… ago?”
    Feather: “Gee. i could use a new garden hoe”
    The Voice(girl): “here”
    Feather: [Has $5:00 in hand] “A voice?!?!? uh… Mimi”
    Mimi: [is buying dress]
    Feather: [with clenched beak] “Mi-mi! come out he-ere”
    Mimi: “Just a second”
    Feather: “Well i have the wierdest feeling we are being watched”
    Mimi: “Nothing new, now Feather! can you wait?”
    Feather: “*Sigh* okay”

    [a few minutes later]

    Mimi: “Okay! I am done”
    Feather: “Can we go back?”
    Mimi: “BACK! NOW? but i havn’t done all my shopping yet!”
    Feather: “Please? i feel that someone is very interested in us!”
    Mimi: [looks around] “Okay”
    Feather: [starts running]
    Mimi: “Wait! you run too fast!”
    Feather: [stops] “Sorry”

    [later they come to a canyon’s wall. it is nightime]

    Mimi: [pushes on a rock, a door opens] [enters door]
    [door closes]
    Feather: [same thing]
    Mimi: “I feel as though something strange is here. Something that shouldn’t be”

    [Meanwhile shadowy figure crawls up a rock beind them]

    Shadowy Figure: [climbs rock] “*Grunt*”
    Mimi: “Feather, did you hear something?”
    Shadowy Figure: [hides behind a cactus]
    Feather: [looks around] “No….”
    Mimi: “Well… let’s ignore it and just go home. okay?”
    Feather: “Okay” [Runs in a direction]
    Mimi: [Walks in another direction]

    Shadowy Figure: [goes to entrance of cave]
    “Hello?”
    Another Voice (boy): “WHAT’S THAT?”

    [A pie flies out of the entrance of the cave[Shadowy Figure dodges]]

    Voice(boy): [yelling] “Now don’t come back!”
    Shadowy Figure: “But…”

    [Kokopelli steps out of the cave]

    Kokopelli: “Who are you? or more like WHAT are you?”
    Shadowy Figure: “Uh… my name is Roxanne. and what are YOU?”
    Kokopelli: “My name is Kokopelli and what are you doing in this valley?”
    Roxanne: “I just want to uh… Help if i can”
    Kokopelli: “HELP?!? us! we my friend are the mu… oops”
    Roxanne: “The what?”
    Kokopelli: [has mysteriously dissapeared]
    Roxanne: “Hello?” [a pie flies at her. she ducks]

    [Roxanne goes in another direction]

    Roxanne: [comes to a big mountain with steps carved into the side]
    [climbs] [gets to top] “Hello?”
    Voice(girl): “Huh?”
    Roxanne: “Hey are you a MU?”
    Voice(girl): “A WHAT?!?” [A tall shadow emerges from a small door]
    Roxanne: “What’s your name?”
    Voice(girl): “Urainia. but what is all this talk about MU’s? are they Aliens or something?”
    Roxanne: “No they are not aliens”
    Urainia: “Martians?”
    Roxanne: “No”
    Urainia: “Where did you hear about them?”
    Roxanne: “From that Kokopelli guy over there” [points to cave]
    Urainia: [sounds troubled] “Oh no!” [runs into house]
    Roxanne: “What’s the matter?”
    Urainia: “Are you a humain?”
    Roxanne: “Yea i think so…”
    Urainia: “GO AWAY!”
    Roxanne: “Why?”
    Urainia: “just do it”
    Roxanne: “Okay” [leaves] [comes to big pasture full of grass]
    [sees an animal with four legs]
    Roxanne: “Who are you?”
    Animal (girl): “Hmmmmooooo?”
    Roxanne: “Hey are you a cow?”
    Animal: “Hmooo yes i am”
    Roxanne: “Wow i have never seen a real cow before!”
    Cow: “What is yooour name?”
    Roxanne: “Roxanne and yours?
    Cow: “My name is Bo! what are you doing in Kokonino Country?

    Bo: “Oh you mean a MUSE!”
    Roxanne: “Maybe. is that what you are?
    Bo: “Urainia told me not to tell”
    Roxanne: “Tell what?
    Bo: “Well she told me not to tell that there were nine muses and that we wisper in people’s ears to help them with intelegent air and that we live here and humans are not to be allowed into Kokonino Country and… oopsie”
    Roxanne: “”Oopsie” what?”

    Roxanne: “Bye” [walks in another direction. it is morning]

    Kokopelli: “We gotta get that human out of here!”
    Mimi: “Why? i like human company.”
    Kokopelli: “Well i don’t! and if Urainia sees me with this human she will kill me!”

    1. Hey Catwoman.

      Welcome to the blog. It’s nice to have you here, but you may want to start of by introducing yourself in this thread.

      You seem to have a bunch of questions too, which we would be happy to answer on the aforementioned thread, or you might find this helpful – I know that Piggy defines a wung there as “A small, possibly hyperdimensional creature which acts as a House Elf-like helper in the Hare & Hedgepig.”

      Hope that clarifies things, and welcome again!
