Ahhhh. Which reminds me. Apparently 'Dr. Who' came from the Canadian version of 'Howdy Doody'. And so did William Shatner. But I'll take both statements with a grain of salt till I read them somewhere other than Wikipedia.

So, do text games count as stuff for library shelves?

I recall it being a show about History (Professor aka Doctor playing the Magic School TARDIS) that in order to be a bit "harder" on the science made it alien-oriented and added mystery & plot.

Howdy Doody...odd indeed.

Yes. They said that the original character on the Canadian Howdy Doody was Mr. X, who travelled in his Watsis box and taught history, and then the original 'Dr. Who' was meant to be a history teaching show.

Can we add these to the library here?

yep, it was originally meant to teach history and science - the stories that were set back in the past were for history, and those in the future/other planets were for science. in fact, the First Doctors first companions were a history teacher (Barbara) and a science teacher (Ian).

I'll add those as soon as I don't feel like I'm going to throw up...
I think I'll have to say something to the food store.

Edit: Food Poisoning, yay! Party!

Ack! *hugga Law*

Aww, poor Law. *hugs*

I've had it before and its not fun. ^^; Hope you feel better soon!

Well, I am finally able to eat again. ^-^;

*Offers hugs back*

Yay for being able to eat again!

It's such a relief when that happens. *has chronic cranky guts*

If I could draw I'd be making Grimsy for the new pet thing. I wonder if anyone would like him?

You can always submit a written description of Grimsy, Tam. I submitted a written description of the pet I came up with. :)

Think anybody would want him?

Who is Grimsy? (have forgotten)

I haven't mentioned him before. *hug* He's a seven foot tall holographic grim reaper pet that one of my RP characters has. His tricks are "sic 'em" and dancing the macarena.

Evil, Neutral, or Good? Honestly sounds like a fun character. :)

XD Well, I don't know his alignment, but the one in the story has things built into his generating cuff that let him monitor his diabetic master's blood sugar and keep her from running into things (she's legally blind).

I've posted him up on the design a critter thread.

His master's kind of bonkers, too. She's dating Dead End, for crying out loud. lol

Cool. I'd offer to try to draw him, but a bit to unsure of my own ability.

XD I KNOW I couldn't draw him. Especially not his skully face.

Yes, his master is totally nuts. She's a death fangirl. But Den... she's MARRIED to Dead End.

:P *thrrrrrpt* details.

Though... being married shouldn't mean they don't date. So you were right. Oops.

If I had a prize to give, I'd see about running a pet show. Where people would make an avatar that highlights their favourite pet, and then write a little thing about the pet.

I could do that...tomorrow. Today I have essay catch up.

But I haven't got anything for a prize.

The prize is in a challenge that isn't stressful :)

That'd be fun, tbh.

Ohhhh.

XD Which place should I do the thread?

Things to add to the Library:
1) Tam's recent comic
2) A Music Section...need to figure out how it won't be all Youtube Videos (Though a Youtube Channels section may be in the cards)
3) An Original Character Database for anyone who wants it.

...Tam and I would have the longest lists, I bet.

I don't know. I know ones like Espy say they have over 100...

Umm...crap, if there is a limit or something to how much I can abuse the Spoiler tab...I may have to make a different thread...hmm...

(I'll work on it over the weekend)

Addendum: Would it be useful or fun to anyone for me to try this?

(Idea sparked from conversation at Batty's IN THE SHADOWS, a hangout for the terminally insane thread)

I have a LOT of characters, but most the ones I play with are badly corrupted canon characters. Like Warlady Blackout. And Ironhide of Dragon Tavern.

Where do you guys think I should set up the pet show?

I...actually don't know o.o
May need to ask Gallagher. It is most like a quest/charity thing...hmm...

Kinda like a game, yeah. Hmm.

I'll bug him tomorrow, Lord willing. No brain right now. XD Bed will feel good.

One good thing about having a smartphone: when my laptop is taking forever to restart, I can still let people know what's up.

Yay for not being cut off from the world! XD

I've left a message on Galagher's wall asking where he'd suggest posting the petshow.

Anybody remember Furbys? (this happens a couple hundred or so years in the future)

*gigglefits because she knows what story that is!*

XD And I know so little about Furbys that a friend who loved and collected them had to play the Furby and tell me what to have Roddy say to it.

And then Roddy stuck it in Springer's closet. Springer was not amused.

But Arcee was.
