A somewhat maybe going-to-be weekly column by Elizabeth.
667 was really really boring this week. I’ll write about stuff that happened anyway.
The issue of deleting 0-post members was revived by Jemima in a thread originally created by J. Currently, the overall opinion on them is indifferent, although in the poll ‘yes’ is leading since there is no ‘I don’t really care’ option. I agree on the point of it causing much more work when trying to find a specific member, but have you ever though of how much work it would cause the people who had to delete them? Think of it as a challenge to have to page through all those names. As artfulldogess pointed out, if they ever do come back, they’d probably be happier still having their old account.
The un-bannedment of ADR occurred this week, and was fairly uneventful, though slightly exaggerated by some. She made a kind-of graceful apology. Eggman made the insightful realization that the apostrophe is what truly creates a good leader; I’m surprised the world hadn’t figured that out early. Think of how much easier things would have been! We’d have Iraq’s government up and thriving in no time if only we’d all adopt this philosophy. Another person, we’ll call them Shirley, believes ADR isn’t worthy of forgiveness because of her not-so-nice reply to an extremely-not-nice email sent by Shirley itself. Along with Shirley, Robert, whose return excited some and frustrated others, made the situation no better. Others still avoided the thread and refused to comment.
Two great 667ers celebrated birthdays this last week with Elizabeth’s on the 9th and PJ’s on the 12th. Down in Our Wicked World, discussion in the The Office (US) thread flourished with the unexpected events of the latest episode. Chaotic Creativity has had much attention with the release of the first four chapters in the collaborated project 667 Hell: ADR’s Revenge, written by Alice, PJ, BSam, and J so far. Word is there’s a fabulous musical masterpiece written by duo Sam and J dedicated to the far under-appreciated Alice. As for fanfiction, thistledown, author of the hit Starvation , is still going strong with her next work entitled The Great Unknown. Including pairings Violet/Duncan, Violet/Olaf, Violet/Quigley, Klaus/Fiona, and Klaus/Isadora, you know it’s not a slow story. With a convenient link Table of Contents, thistledown really knows how to write. I’d recommend her stories if you’re not already a fan.

Hey all, I'm back again.
I was going to write this Sunday night, but when I sat down to do it I thought, "ADR is coming back tomorrow, and there will be more drama, and therefore more to rant about," so I waited until now.
ADR's still the same; although she apologized to 667, she still refuses to apologize to Gigi. My thoughts on the ADR matter
Anyways. It's snowing. Bleh. I was quite enjoying having 50 degree weather in the beginning of January, and now my hopes and dreams are crushed once again. Darn you, solar system, revolving like you do! Now I have to suffer through cold mornings walking to my car, only to find snow piled on top of it, with a layer of ice over my windshield. And my room is always freezing because the way the vent system is set up, the heat goes to my brothers room first and then to mine. The problem? The heat never even gets to mine, it all goes to J.'s room, and while I freeze to death, he's all warm and cozy with his heated bedroom. Oh, how I hate you, Ohio.
The other night I went into Hollywood video to rent a 24 DVD for my mom and ended up buying Hitch. The downfall? It's widescreen. I absolutely abhor widescreen. I know it's supposed to make it a bigger picture horizontally, but I don't see how stretching out the picture, and putting two black strips on the top and bottom of the screen makes it look any bigger. It's incredibly annoying, and I hate it with every fibre of my being. My 55" TV makes up for it though, I suppose.
Another thing I could rant about is the lack of time I have to do anything, but instead of ranting about it, I'm going to prove my point even further by ending this rant now, due to lack of time and energy. Until next time.
Live Dangerously,
SF.

Welcome to Jem's Random Article! The column where Jemima talks about anything that happens to be on her mind. This week, the topic is:
INTERVIEW WITH DUPIN.
This early afternoon when I signed in to MSN, I got about three or four messages. The first one was from Akbar, begging me to write this article. The second was from Robert, nagging me to write this article. The third one was from M., telling me about her newly bought hamster, named Scuttlepunk? Ah, I forget M, sorry. But he sounded really cute. The fourth and fifth were from two people wanting me to add their new addresses, so I did.
Akbar is very persistent. He will make me do anything, really. I gave him an excuse, telling him that I was about to leave for a different country in about 10 minutes, BUT NO. I had to write this article. "Very well," I thought. And without further ado, I give you....
AN INTERVIEW WITH DUPIN.
Jem: What's your favourite type of music?
George: I like Motown. I hate R N B and rap, etc.
Jem: Ugh, me too.
Jem: What's your favorite TV show?
George: Lost. Or Garth Marenghi's DarkPlace. The latter is incredibly funny, but no ones heard of it ):
Jem: Well, I don't live in England so I doubt that I would have.
Jem: If you could visit any place in the world, and also the USA, where would you go?
George: I want to go to Japan. I always have. And US, I dont know where specifically.
Then he had to go. I also have to go, Akbar. THERE'S YOUR STUPID ARTICLE.
BYE.
-Jemima.
------------------------------------------------------------------
That's right, guys. Robert's back. Did you miss him? Probably not, but you should have. I haven't written for the 667er for a while now, but hey, I was banned, can you really blame me? I really have no idea what Akbar expects me to write about, seeing as he's giving me like 45 minutes to get it done, but that's life, eh?
In case you guys didn't notice, I've been doing a lot of drawing lately, and I have a new radio show going. The art goes pretty smoothly; everything I know about it comes naturally to me, so I don't particularly need to practice much. The radio show, on the other hand, is completely new and a lot of the shows don't go how I want them to. The last show had to be cancelled completely due to the fact that no one could hear it, but we're planning on airing again next Monday, so don't forget to tune in.
What you may not know, though, is that I'm also working on my game design. I found a website that'll pay me like ten cents for every time somebody plays my games, and I'm working with a team of artists on my new game. That means that if I make it to the front page of Newgrounds or something, I'll be getting like $50 easy.
I'll probably turn this into some form of regular column, but I have no idea what it'll be about. If any of you have any ideas, PM me (therobert). Or we could like, vote or something. If any of you want me to keep doing those game reviews (like it seems none of you really liked in the first place), tell me. If you want more random rambles like this, again, tell me, you know? How am I supposed to know what you want if you don't tell me? Honestly.
This is Robert, signing off.
-Robert.

Oh look! M. Got a Hamster![/u]
Ode to Scuttlebunk
My hamster is cute
My hamster is fine
I'm talking a-boot
My hamster is mine
The scuttle-bunk girl
Is softer than fluff
Her life will unfurl
With me and my ...luff
Hamsters are adorable. Everyone knows this. But why do we think so? The common type of hamster, "teddy bear" even has an adorable name. Hamsters are made out of cuteness. They're fuzzy, they're round, and they have no wills of their own. They will run for hours for no discernable reason, get off their wheels to see where they've gone, and then continue, pleased with their progress.

J.’s Endorsement of the Week.[/u]
Read the ADR's Hell story, because I wrote for it. Read the part four, at least—not the fake ones, the one I wrote. And read A Musical. It was partly written by Sam.
Collaboration fics are making a come back—the last collaboration fic, I believe, was a Hogwarts story in which some authors and I painstakingly made plots and graphs and outlines, arguing late into the morning about what Triwizard Tasks there should be, who should participate in which, and assigning everyone colours.
A Musical is a shorter-than-I-expected thing. We were going to write about a struggling author and, using a plot generator, write about her various sad attempts at musicals—a midget and an intelligent male prostitute get trashed in a bed and breakfast; a lawyer gives birth to a dinosaur; a bunch of other things in that vain. However, Sam, eager to post his bit, and I, eager to get some sleep, cut it short. So now it's three songs about a writer's tragic breakdown and eventual—well, I won't spoil it. Read it. Sam made a picture.

Hi all.
Robert and Sam made this issue happen, so HURRAH for them. Yzay.
And a great big thanks to everyone who did their articles without needing a little, ahem, persuasion from Robert.
Peace out,
Akbar.
