  2. What about the movie of “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe”? That’s what I’d like opinions about. Isn’t anybody going to give me the First Post award?
    2- I think it’s spanish because it’s, well, at least I know more words in it than in any other non-english languge, unless it’s tied with french. Let’s see…
    Spanish words I know:
    yes: si
    no:no
    hello: hola
    goodbye:adios
    thank you: gracias
    you’re welcome:de nada
    book:libro
    please: por favor
    rock:roca
    shoe:zapato
    French words I know:
    hello:bonjour
    goodbye:au revior (prononced “avwa”)
    yes:oui (prononced we)
    no:non
    butterfly:parmillon
    please:s’il vous plait (prononced “see voo play”)
    thank you: merci
    Yep, I know more Spanish words than any other foreign languge.

  3. I think Spanish is the most useful, because it’s spoken a lot around here. Mandrin Chinese is the most spoken, though.

  6. And by Indian I meant some form of Hindi….I didn’t know half of the things people were saying at my friend’s sweet16. Apparently, there are many dialects. Like in English [correct English, ghetto, chatspeak, hick, etcetc]

  7. I think most people speak English, either as a first or second (or third, fourth, etc) language. So lucky us.

    I would totally learn Esperanto and Elvish, and i’m already learning Latin and i want to learn Greek and possibly French. Maybe Spanish too. And if i knew Latin and Spanish i would basically know Italian already. Yepyep.

    8-You mean a blogger, or just any muser? Either way, i’d like to meet everybody here. Of course, technically i have. Hello all! (Yes, my geeky brain thinks talking online constitutes “meeting”. Well, close enough anyway.)

    Jadestone, as i said before-White Choklit Pumpkin. yuuuuuuuuuum….

    But why would the world be a giant muffin? Why not a pie? We’ll have to change that after Mostly Harmless…

  8. I think it’d be either French, Mandarin or Spanish. I already speak french fairly well, I’m learining spanish and I hope to start taking classes in Mandarin by the time I’m a junior or senior in HS. I think Arabic would also be helpful to, if you can figure out which dialect to learn.

    I haven’t seen the Narnia movie yet.

    If the world were I giant muffin, it would be cranberry oatmeal. This is because it’s sweet sometimes, but bitter others. It’s tough and chewy, but also satisfying.

    What is one thing you would change about the world (like on a large-ish scale, not your personal life)?

  9. Ha.Ha.Ha. Axa is the master of al things survey like. >D

    (1) I love William Moseley aka Peter. But it was a good movie besides. ♥

    (2) Chinese, because one: there’s over a billion people in China alone and Two: Chins is on the rise. Best learn sooner thatn later how to converse with them.

    (3) O_o Um. I dislike shopping so…nowhere. XD

    (6) If the world were a gian muffin, we would be parasytes
    ( I spelled that wrong…>>) living on it. Thus, a very old, crusty, half eaten muffin of indeterminate taste.

    (8) Hmmm. I don’t know any one person, everyone!

    (12) Chatspeak is not a dialect. It’s just stupid. D:

  10. 2- I myself would think Latin would be incredibly useful (aside from the fact that it’s dead), as a majority of the world’s languages are derived from it. But German, Manderin Chinese and those other widely-spoken ones. I say German because it is WAY unlike asny other language. I personally wish to learn Latin, Spanish, Italin, Greek, Hebrew, French, Manderin Chinese, Japanese and Esperanto. Peradventure teh language of the Basques??

    6- Something with a lot of stuff in it. Sweet and sour, not to either extreme.

  12. 14 – God, where to start?? Let me see….Peace, harmony, understanding, universal love, equality, open-mindedness, no more poverty and diseases, animal rights, generousity, co-existing ideas/beliefs, environmental health, etc, etc, etc….
    1- The Narnia movie was pretty interesting. Compared to the old one, it was WAY better, but you get the same satisfaction making fun of it as the old one. And that was GRAND fun, to no end!!
    3 – I usually shop at thrift stores or the internet. I don’t shop much, but I do like Hot Topic for some freakish reason. They have cool shirts. The only reason I go to the mall is to mock all the fashion-dependent losers and to critique the clothes. Or to gaze in longing at CDs and books. XD

    OK, what I want to know is if you guys think Jim Morrison is dead or alive.

  13. 15-my godbrother looks almost exactly like peter from narnia. It’s kinda weird. i don’t think he’s hott though. possibly because he looks like my godbrother, but possibly because his lips are kind of annoying. of course my lips are like that too. but my lips annoy me sometimes. and anyway, i’m a girl.

    actually come to think of it i know 3 people that look like peter from narnia. My godbrother, a junior named peter (!!!) and a guy named john from my old skool.

    hey, was there a link in the old esperanto issue that i didn’t get but want desperately to some kind of online course or something i could take if i get bored? that would be kewl…preferably a free one, because if it costs $, i’ll look at it, go “sweet” sigh a bit, and leave. Freeness people, freeness.

    i g2g now. dad said to “clean the kitchen up a bit” i’m not exactly sure what that entails. dishes are always a safe bet, and he’ll probably want the counter cleared off too. idk what else i’m supposed to do if anything. i hate it when adults are so vague…it makes it hard to slack off see, cuz if you make them name stuff they’ll forget things, but if they just say “clean it” they’ll come back and be able to find a million things wrong, and you won’t be able to say “you didn’t tell me to do that part”

    *sigh* My life is so hard.

    That was slightly sarcastic. But only slightly, mind. *sighs again*

  14. If I could change one thing: People would stop hating each other. Yep, that would be great.

    Favorite place to shop: Nowhere, if possible. However, thrift stores and dumpsters (if dumpster diving counts as shopping) are hot spots to me. The only item I like shopping for is books and then, as much as I hate to admit it, B&N would have to be the place.

    Best language to learn: Well, I think Spanish, if you live in America, because almost all nearby countries have Spanish as a national language. Although you could learn French and visit Quebec. If you just want to bother people by being way cooler than them though, learn Latin, Esperanto, or Elvish.

    Which blogger would I want to meet? Well that’s a stupid question. Okay, sorry, but it forces me to show favoritism, so I won’t answer it.

    Is Jim Morrison dead? As in The Doors band member? Um…yes. Didn’t he die of a drug overdose?

    The world would be a smashed chocolate chip muffin clogging the floor drain of a locker room. I don’t know why. It’s just seems like the sort of thing that would happen to us.

    I know so many people who look like other people. For instance, there’s this guy at my church who looks like Boromir as he was in the movie. Oh, and my old youth pastor looked almost exactly like Mr. Tumnus. There’s also this guy who looks like Neil Young. What’s weird is that the guy sings and plays guitar and harmonica. By the way, I think the Narnia movie was great. Well, I mean, it was very entertaining and well done. They kept the important parts true, but they did change some scenes. You know, adding this and cutting that. I wish it was truer to the book, but then, I always do with book-movies.

  15. My friends allways say peter of narnia is hott. i can’t rally remember what he looks like tho… Ebeth, don’t mention that you have a cuzin that looks lllike him if you ever happen to see my friends. Which is not likely.

    Big question bewteen me and my friends- Which character(not movie or acto who played them, mind you) is better? Superman or Batman? I like Batman, because he was a normal guy who made himself super. He’s possible, slightly, but much more than Superman. I’ll post my other reasons for this later…

  18. 6) pumpkin with dark chocolate chips because I really like the flavor pumpkin and chocolate adds tastiness to anything and everything. mmm…

    12) in India there are many different native lanugages. Hindi is one of those, and like mandarine chinese, it happens to be the language spoken in the place that ended up dominating so that is how it came to be the most well known Indian language.

    I’d like to learn Hebrew, Hindi, Nepali, Chinese, German, Swedish, Arabic, a good handful of constructed languages (Esperanto, Sindarin, Quenya) and probably many more. I can speak Spanish, French, English and a tiny bit of Welsh.

    Narnia was a fun movie.

    I’d have people try to understand each other better and try to work out differences through talking instead of fighting. To talk to each other to try to help solve problems (hunger, poverty) in this world. To communicate ideas to each other better.

    I shop at thrift stores and quirky little stores that sell interesting clothing. And H&M. I like to wear things that are unique; that people don’t look at and say “my sister has that” I buy books at independant bookstores and cds at independant record stores. Occasionally I go on a big trip to the mall with my friends and we go to Old Navy and Gap. Occasionally I go to Best Buy and B&N, but not very often.

    5. my parents belief that girls / women should stay in the kitchen, and that you should nvr luv anyone outside your own race or gender. (i am not racist! and i am not against gays + lesbians! but my parents are, so most ppl who know that think i am too)

  30. (36),

    Let’s be specific. Major European languages derived from Latin (known as “Romance languages”) include Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese. Those are the ones you’re most likely to study. Minor Romance languages include Romanian, Catalan, Occitan, and other regional dialects spoken mostly in Southern Europe. German, Dutch, English Scandinavian languages, Celtic languages, and Slavic languages did not evolve from Latin, though they’re related to it. Hungarian, Finnish, Estonian, and Basque aren’t even close relatives to it.

    Pet Peeves
    When I go to get the paper (you have to walk a little to get to the paper boxes) and then somebody steals the comics after I get back and before I can get my dog off his leash.
    When somebody takes the last [insert refridgerated item here] out of the fridge and doesn’t put another back.
    When somebody’s dog escapes, so they yell at it to come. Then, when it finally comes, excited to have figured out what was wanted and, supposedly, pleased the caller, the owner HITS IT! Not only is that horrible dog training, it’s cruel. It’s physically painful, of course, but it must break the dog’s heart. They’re so eager to please, so they are overjoyed just to obey a command. But the caller is inexplicably displeased and angry.
    Those nasty sores that you get on your tounge overnight.
    Hate
    Here’s another new one: Bottom 5 foods
    Liver
    Eggplant
    Steak (It’s not like I hate steak, but well, what’s the big deal? So much fuss is made over it when it’s just an overly fatty hunk of cow.)
    WIne (Don’t look at me like that. I’ve had it at Seders. It’s very…um…disgusting. It’s so overpowering and it doesn’t even taste good at all. Just wondering: has anyone ever been to a Seder where people actually drank the entire four goblets? I’ve seen someone manage two and she was rather worse for the wear.)

    I’m not sure what number 5 would be- most other things can’t seem to get any order- except for things I don’t like- like mashed potatos.
    I don’t think I can figeure out the order for other things. Let’s see how well I can type with my eyes closed

  42. OK. Just for you guys who say that chatspeak bugs you…
    I’m giving up chatspeak for the next week, starting with this post. However, this does not include froody expressions and abbreviations, so don’t get on my case for any of that, or I’ll pwn you. If you do catch me using it anytime within the next week, you may pie me with a kidney pie, which I believe will be effective enough, for I am vegetarian and hate kidney pie.

  44. The worst thing about being 14…hmm…not being able to drive is a big one…limited internet time…being old enough to babysit my lb (actually i don’t really have to any more but a year or 2 ago that was really annoying…i didn’t even get paid…). That’s about it really. Being a freshie was one downside i guess, but i’m still 14 and i’m a sophomore now. that really depends on grade i guess. Anyway, i think the biggest thing is driving. A lot of my friends have their temps or are going to get them very soon, and a few of my friends will be getting their licenses before i get my temps! And internet time’s the other biggie, but i don’t have too much trouble w/that now that it’s summer and all. I guess just generally being bossed around by people…especially omg i hate this when adults start being all patronizing at you and you know you’re smarter than them but nobody would believe it and anyway they’re adults so you can’t be rude. Well you can, but you’d get in trouble w/your parents. Especially when they’re all like “What are you learning in skool? Oh yes, very nice. So what have you learned about it so far?”etc, etc, that i really hate. And then they pretend to be experts at whatever subject and you’re like “Um…yeah. Whatever you say.”

    But all in all, being 14’s good. Better than most ages i think. Not too much responsibility against the freedom you have.

    I kind of figure skate (I’m learning the basic jumps right now) but I’m not very good.. I’ve never done any dance/gymnastics type of thing before, which is probably why..

From now on I will continually post a Mystery Quote, and will award whoever’s first to identify it with a pie, the flavor of which whoever gets it can decide. The Mystery Quote is, “The.. crime will not be solved untill you grab the phone and call on us!”

  100. There’s this guy that i used to live near who had his two dogs pull him along on his roller blades. However, they didn’t seen to be very reliable and i would often see the bigger one wandering around the neighborhood. the guy didn’t have a fence around his yard, so if they got out without his knowledge they went where they pleased. He started a fence, but there hasn’t been any noticable progress on it in two years.

  102. ODD THOUGHT:

    The Muses have had the same appearance for many years.

    They’ve obviously changed a bit since the mag started publication, but nothing really new has happened with them.

    I think at least one of the Muses should do something to give themselves a fresh new look.

    Koko is out for sure.

    Chad would be best in my opinion.

    Mimi once asked Chad if he had shaved his mostache.

    “What mostache?” asked Chad.

    Don’t ask me what they were talking about.

    I can’t remeber that part.

    What do you think?

    Should we try to persaude Larry to give Chad a mostache?

    Maybe we could ask him to try it for a few issues, and if enough people like it , then it’ll stay.

    If it’s unpopular, he can just show an image of Chad shaving in a Koko and Company comic.

    What does everybody think about that?

  103. 137 (Yup)- I live on A. V. E. Street Road. (No, actually, it’s an avenue.)

    139 (Cedar)- They have changed. Read the Kokocos from one of the earlier issues, and then read one of the new ones. They just do it veeeery sloooooowly. A-C would probably throw a fit if Chad got a moustache. She has an odd, fangirlish Chad obsession and almost died of glee when he pulled up his skirt thingy that one time. (He had pants on underneath! Get your mind out of the gutter! This is a CHILDREN’S MAGAZINE! (Sort of.))

  114. Pantatanik:

    Giving one of the Muses a slight makeover is all about keeping the magazine interesting.

    Do you look the same way you did five years ago?

    We all like to change something about our appearences every now and then.

    Who says one of the Muses can’t do it?

    Squid 0
  115. 159 (sam)- We get frost and snow in some areas of the country, but not now. Today it hit 105 in Chicago. It usually starts frosting here around November, but I’d imagine it would be earlier farther north and later (if at all) farther south.

    To make a Mr. Green, you type this in : mrgreen : only without the spaces.

    160 (Cedar)- It’s Pentatonikk. ‘Pantatanik’ makes my nickname ‘Panty’, which is rather unacceptable for the Museblog.

    The Muses do not age in the normal sense of the word. And besides, he has changed. His clothing looks different (he used to wear blue and green), he’s gotten slimmer, and his face is rounder. He doesn’t need a moustache.

  121. Wait, i thought Gary ate your eyes? Let’s test…*evil cackle* GREEEN! NO! GO AWAY GARY! AAAH! OEDIPUS! OEDIPUS! MY EYES!! AAAAAH!!!!!!

    Oedipus didn’t really have much to do with that (he put his own eyes out) but i like to shout Oedipus at random moments. It makes people uncomfortable. It makes unintelligent people uncomfortable because they have no clue what the heck i’m talking about and it makes intelligent people uncomfortable because they think of the story and wonder why on earth i’m shouting oedipus. They get disturbed. Mwahaha.

    Anyway, it seems that Gary just ate my eyes. How about you Axa? Are your eyes still there? Can you read this????? WELL? CAN YOU?!?!?!?
