PJ’s Rant.
Dear God.
I’ve forgotten to write this article. Akbar’s yelling at me. Craaaaap.
I’ll have to make this quick
Ok. Foreign invasion. The rivalry between 667 Dark Avenue and Unfortunate Events escalated to the point where some of their members actually came over and spammed. I mean, SPAMMING? As a form of attack?
That’s like, murdering civilians. I’ve been to their site, and they think we’re arrogant snobs, the lot, but spamming is just too far. I personally think they are mostly idiots; their Asoue section is pitiful. It’s like 667, but without BBooks, and with more random members, and less calm discussion people. So yeah. 667’s got a balance of sorts, but UE is just a chaotic slag heap.
Sorry for the lameness of this all, but I’m kinda under pressure. You’re reading this perhaps 10 minutes after it’s been written. Akbar’s still yelling at me. He’s enlisted Derik to help. They won’t shut up.
667 Big Brother is neat. I’m a member. It’s cool. Though we seem to have a theme of brutal violence going with, people throwing chainsaws and grenades around, whilst others are shooting around. There’s also an army of evil robots. And 3 naked girls in one bed. So come on over to Big Brother, at sixsixseven.proboards74.com/index.cgi?action=recent
Heh. Advertisments.
So. Ranting. J. has joined the ever-growing group of people abusing me over MSN. Gah!
The password is still on DD. AND the Detriment Deleter job application thing is still going on after like a month. Trag is a damn slacker. Gah. The administration sucks. What to write about?
I’ll just post chat segments:
'Fantasy Boy' |Just breathe, just believe. says:
GRRRRR
'Fantasy Boy' |Just breathe, just believe. says:
DERIK! YELL AT HIM!
'Fantasy Boy' |Just breathe, just believe. says:
MAKE IT SNAPPY
derr8uirjtk says:
FASTER DAMNIT PJ
derr8uirjtk says:
yell at pj j, it's teh latest fad
I'm going to kill my gym teacher says:
GRR, PJ, HOW COULD YOU FORGET IT?
There. It's done. Shut up, Akbar. Leave me alone.

Linda’s Interview Of The Week.[/u]
Member Interview of the Week
Linda: Welcome to Member Interview of the Week. This week, Grace was interviewed. Now, Grace, what is your real name? How did you come up with your username?
Grace: Grace! Honestly. Well, last time I had a few...well, not a few, a lot...of screen names, it was always changing, and I wanted to do something consistent. So I did the "keeping the same, but theme-ish" thing.
Linda: Where are you from?
Grace: I'm from Joizy. Very liberal, dahling.
Linda: Tell us a bit about yourself. What are some of your interests?
Grace: Ummm...er...well, right now my favorite show is American Idol, closely followed by Family Guy. I like (and who doesn't) hanging out with my friends, at school, or some other place. I lurve traveling, and luckily, so does my family. I like Potter, Snicket, etc., the list goes on.
Linda: If you had to describe yourself, how would you?
Grace: I have a pretty big forehead (which, now that I think, is a very odd thing to start out with), and I wear glasses (boo!). I'm tallish and have long legs......what else? Ugly…
Linda: How did you find out about 667?
Grace: Googling. Where else?
Linda: Were you ever a lurker?
Grace: Never.
Linda: About how much time do you spend on 667? How important is it in your life?
Grace: I go on generally every day...sometimes not. Pretty important, from May-....somewhere in there I barely posted, but now I'm posting (in case you can't tell) more.
Linda: What sections do you visit the most? What are a few of your favorite threads?
Grace: RFT is nice, and I like "we're all in the hatch!" because it's just funny. I like the polls about random things that Panny and others make up. I visit Miscellaneous and Games a lot. I also like the Potter section, Anguished Autobiography, Sardonic Series, and Gloom Looms.
Linda: Do you feel like the majority of the members know who you are? What do you feel your level of popularity is?
Grace: Meh...they know who I am, cause I post a lot, but I'm not very popular.
Linda: Do you find the members of 667 to be nice people? Is anyone rude to you?
Grace: Wow. Cutting right to the chase. I don't (and I may sound cheesy/annoying/other here) believe in gossiping and stuff cause I've gotten hurt like that, but there's one person who I don't particularly care for (and you had to do something completely unnecessarily mean, it's probably not you). Other than that, yeah, they're nice. Bad moments, but generally nice.
Linda: Is there anything you’d like to tell the members of 667?
Grace: *thinks* "It is our choices that show who we truly are, not our abilities." *serious face* Nah, just that Violet Baudelaire should die on Eliminator (games section). Oh, and RENT is underrated and underappreciated. Grace out. [/corny]
Linda: Thanks Grace. Next week, PJ's going to be interviewed. Robert (Doctor Hobo) has also asked to be interviewed. If you would like to be interviewed, please contact me.

By our Editor-in-Chief, Akbar Le Grey.
Well, since Ennui isn’t on 667 much anymore, I’d decided to take over his column. I’ll be reviewing CC, FF and AA, although I might sometimes skip some boards
Chaotic Creativity.
The rather unimaginative ‘Rich People Story’ by Triangle Eyes reads like a pathetic soap opera. When they’re not being bombed en route to fashion shows, the characters are either in intensive care, or receiving cavalcades of Hummer, Mercs and Bentleys. My favourite bit of the story, however, is when a cat attacks a ‘snobbish’ lady: “Get thisretched beast off my designer fur coat!” *chuckle*. Another good bit is when Le Grey, twistedbrain’s ‘mentalic’ step-brother is shot. Dun dun dun.
‘Harry Potter and the Oil Paints’ by shelly247, is a good example of her skill when it comes to brief and descriptive stories. Yet another up-and-coming writer is Linda Rhaldeen, whose 667 Shrek is well-written and just generally “awesome”, as PJ aptly put it. However, I’m not in it. Grr. Meanwhile, Dupin continued to impress with his epic ‘Missing’. Alice has triumphantly returned to CC with her supercalifragilisticexpialidocious version of Tudor history. Much better than the real one. Less semi-colons too. Also, the 667 Factor wound down to an end this week. I’d like to heartily congratulate Linda and all the other finalists for a job well-done. Ennui has also returned triumphantly to the sphere of CC with his history of 667 entitled: “667: A Member’s PM Chronicle.” Skeleton Key has turned her hand to writing with ‘The Adventures Of The Migrating Coconuts’. An excellent read; she is obviously some-one to watch in both the artistic and writing spheres.
On the artistic front, Skeleton Key’s uniquely designed bridal gown for her wedding to Brent was notable. This artiste has also made another thread of her innovative drawings. Another excellent drawing was J’s “THE PRODUCERZ”, a good example of post-The Producers 667 artwork. Or something.
I’d also like to say that I whole-heartedly support Linda’s campaign to get lazy writers
Aggravating Art.
‘hookhanded girl’ has attacked the 667 art world! From what I saw, she managed to post in 8 threads in just under 20 minutes. Some-one’s taken speed-typing to a whole new extreme. Skeleton Key is the latest arrival on the artistic scene, with her “Thirteen Gruesome Deaths Of Fiona Widdershins” show, which details how, exactly, she would like her to suffer. Very fresh, and excellent for when you’re in a bloodthirsty mood.
Fearsome Fiction.
Fearsome Fiction is experiencing a sad dip in both quantity and quality of stories. However, there are some bright pots on the FF horizon thanks to stories like ‘After the Opera’ by Hanna Squalor, an excellent Esmé-Olaf fic, and aSoUE Lost, a crossover by Okli. Skelton Key has been hard at work here too, with two fantastic stories: ‘Ocean Breeze’ and the hilarious ‘The Serpent’. Hanna Squalor has also written the interesting ‘A Perfect Christmas…maybe’ .
Fanfic writer of the week: Hanna Squalor.
aSoUE artist of the week: Antenora.
CC artist of the week: Skeleton Key.
CC writer of the week: Alice.
Most creative person of the week: Skeleton Key.

"George returns with some shameless 667BB advertising"
'AND WE'RE OFF...'
sixsixseven.proboards74.com
667 Big Brother has officially started! 667 Dark Avenue's biggest reality show began during Thursday 19th/Friday 20th of January, and already, things are starting to kick off. This is no wonder, mostly because of the great housemates that are taking part this year.
First to enter the 667 Big Brother 3 house was 666 Dark Avenue's admin Mr Poe, but since then he has been joined by Charlotte, Deanna, Gigi, J, Luis, Freshie, Sora, PJ, Robert, SnicketFace, Snicket and Trish. They have all been set a simple if not slightly dull task of seeing who can count to the highest number by the end of the weekend.
The housemates are already proving to be the most active yet, because they have already made a tenth of the total 667BB2 posts, and a quarter of the total 667BB2 threads. What will happen next, and who will be up for eviction? Nobody knows, but we're sure that a twist is on its way soon...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I NEED TO WRITE AN ARTICLE THAT WILL MAKE AKBAR’S HEAD EXPLODE.
I should be studying science, but no. I should be watching omg Spike, but no. I should be—should be—uh—well, FMA’s on again in another two hours, my puppy’s in my parent’s room and I need to study for science. No, I’m stuck writing an article for Akbar.
Oh well, I’ll be here all night. Not that I wouldn’t be, anyway. I’d discuss school but it’s boring. Plus, I’m failing everything. EVERYTHING. So I’ll discuss anime instead.
On an FMA board, I was supposed to start a thread about episode 43, which I reserved a while ago because OMG ROY MAKES A SPEECH YAYZ! But someone started a thread (twelve hours before the episode aired). No hard feelings. The person in charged said I could do episode 48 to compensate, even though I didn’t care. I love the fact that it’s episode 48 because OMG ED AND ROY BOND YAYZ!
Now I’m into NGE, sort of. It’s cool, but sort of boring. I want to see the movie because I heard it’s awesome. The fans are the most elitist sons of mageees I’ve ever seen. Forget the abstract art junkies. Talk to someone who likes NGE. “The first frame of episode 13 made time stop. Never before has 1/16 of a second been able to trigger so much emotion. The total blankness of the frame conveys the anguish and torment of humanity, and it’s definitely the single most moving frame of history.”
Here’s a summary of the series:
Shinji: OMG ANGST
Asuka: OMG ANGST
Stock characters: OMG ANGST
Rei: *STUPID AND UGLY* (OK, she’s kind of hot but she’s still stupid, annoying and overrated.)
Shinji, Asuka, Rei: OMG ALMOST DIES
Actually, most anime is like that. Inuyasha was pretty much the same thing. FMA’s the only thing I can’t mock. It’s just too awesome. It would be like mocking God, except God is mocked a lot. If you’re reading this, God, I’d just like to say, uh, hi there.
I’d like to thank Animenuke for letting me become a subtitle elitist so I can say Misato’s dub voice sucks, Misato’s dub voice sucks, Shinji’s dub voice sucks, Shinji sucks—in general, Rei sucks, the fact that the FMA theme song doesn’t change until episode 41 in the dub sucks, and the fact that Ed does the second opening monologue sucks. Also, American voices suck in general.
Kudos on the first opening sequence in the dub, though. It’s very nice and much catchier than the Japanese version.
The Boondocks is on now. I think FMA is next, but I know for a fact it’s not. What’s on? Oh, Stroker and Hoop. How easy we forget. So then maybe I’ll study science for a half hour. Ok. This is the closing sentence. Sorry the article sucks

I'm very disappointed in everyone who didn't send me their articles, especially Jemima. I thought I could trust you, Jemmy.
