02/26/2004 Will Disney: well, it's very short - you can say that about it.
02/26/2004 Phony Millions (3): Yeah, about three stars short.
02/26/2004 scoop: If I may I think this short was the result of an author under a lot of pressure who wrote a line and then , incapable of bearing the weight of the 21st Century on his frail shoulders, never finished. This behavior calls for an intervention, not a rating. Don't worry friend, we're out there for you.
02/26/2004 qualcomm: yeah, disney, what about the 'intentional grounding' penalty we discussed, to prevent authors from bolstering their credits with meaningless crap?
02/26/2004 scoop (1): On second thought words have meanings, and so do deadlines, ass hole. This has the funk of bougeois torpor, the worst kind of all. I hope this one star is enough to keep you warm in the sterile, dessicated wasteland of your life;0)
02/26/2004 Texxx (1): doosh
02/26/2004 Dylan Danko: Yeah sorry about that guys. I've been busy carrying Scoop on my back for the past few days. Plum forgot to finish the short. I think I just received the "intentional grounding," Feldspar. The shit got kicked off the home page.
02/26/2004 scoop: Yeah, about that, the next time you carry me I want more nurturing. It really felt like you were phoning it in, Danko. I've got feelings too.
02/26/2004 Ewan Snow (1): This is going on your permanent record.
02/26/2004 qualcomm (5): five stars!
02/26/2004 Will Disney (2): yeah sorry - this one gets a 2. it has the beginning of a funny idea, maybe.
02/26/2004 Dylan Danko: Saw that Fiver from Feldy a mile away.
02/26/2004 Dylan Danko: By the way, "dessicated" is Scoop's word of the month. If anyone's playing.
02/26/2004 scoop: Hurry! If you want to play, sign-up now, because the month's almost over and we'll have be moving on to new words. Like British! And cunt! And Bar!
02/26/2004 Dylan Danko: Ho, hum. Yesterday's words, fella. And the day before that.
02/26/2004 scoop: I see your ho-hum and raise it a whatever.
02/26/2004 Mr. Pony: You two are fucking boring me. Be interesting!
02/26/2004 Mr. Pony (2): Sentences like the above short--should they end with a question mark? I have always wondered that.
02/26/2004 Dylan Danko: Try as we might, we just can't muster up the energy to create a controversy. It's up to you Pony.
02/26/2004 Phony Millions: I don't think so Pony; it's clearly an exclamatory statement. Although...if it was followed by 'or what' than there would be a question mark, so...
02/26/2004 Mr. Pony: Nice try, Danko! Try again! (Thanks, Brad.)
02/27/2004 Jon Matza: Danko, what was the idea here? Feldspar, will you explain the *****? If you can resist not taking these questions seriously, I'm genuinely curious.
02/27/2004 qualcomm: matza: outright contrariness. also, it's the only danko short i've given a five to. like slappy white before me, and frankenstone before him, i have pulled off a postmodern prank of kaufmanesque proportions!
02/27/2004 Dylan Danko: Well Matza, I wrote out the first line to the short and posted it with the intention of writing the rest out at a later date.(I was busy at the time providing various indispensable services to my clients)Problem was, I never had time. One thing led to another and the darn short got away.
02/27/2004 qualcomm: i call an impromptu contest to complete dylan's short by the end of the day. see details on the message board.
02/27/2004 Jon Matza: Ah! My mind is now at ease, i.e., ready to chase someone else off the site.
06/9/2004 annebot (1): douche' my good man.
02/25/2005 qualcomm:
